Chapter 52: The Dragon's Egg

"Hagrid, what's that?" Al asked, pointing to the egg, confused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ahh Hai Yuan twisted his beard uneasily, and stumbled and said, "That's ...... Oh...... That ......"

"Hey, you're baking an egg, is it your dinner? I've never seen an egg this big, what animal laid it?" asked Harry innocently.

"That's not dinner. Ron bumped Harry lightly on the shoulder, and then he crouched down by the fireplace and looked at the big egg more closely, "Where did you get this egg, Hagrid?"

Al had never seen an egg this big, but with the help of Hagrid's library references, he had already guessed what it was.

"This is what I won. "Last night, I was drinking in the village pub and playing cards with a stranger, who, to be honest, probably wanted to get rid of it." ”

"But what are you going to do when it hatches?" asked Hermione.

"Wait!" Harry asked, standing in the middle of a few people, still looking like he didn't understand anything, "What the hell are you talking about? What kind of egg is this? Isn't it roasted on the fire to eat it?"

Al pulled Harry aside and said to him, "Harry, this is not an ordinary egg, it's a dragon egg. ”

"Dragon egg?" Harry exclaimed, looking at the black egg in disbelief, and said in surprise, "It's a dragon egg!" ”

Hagrid took out a thick book from under his pillow and said to Al and them, "This is the book I borrowed from the library for Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit, and I've been reading it. Of course, this book may be a bit outdated, but it's still very comprehensive. ”

"The book says to put the dragon's eggs in the fire, because it's like their mother breathing at them. Hagrid opened the book and found a passage and pointed it out to Al and them.

"Look here, it's written here, and when it hatches, feed it a barrel of brandy with chicken blood every half hour. ”

"Look at it again, how can you tell the difference between dragon eggs - I got a Norwegian spinyback, a very rare species. ”

Hagrid looked smug, but Hermione was unimpressed.

"Don't forget, Hagrid, you live in a wooden house, and dragons breathe fire. Hermione reminded.

Hagrid didn't listen at all, his whole mind was on the dragon egg, and he was playing with the fire and humming a little song happily.

After leaving Hagrid's cabin, El and the others knew they had something new to worry about. It turned out to be just a philosopher's stone, but now it's good, there is another dragon!

What would Hagrid do if someone found out that he was illegally raising dragons in his cabin?

"I really want to know what a peaceful and peaceful day looks like. Ron said with a sigh.

Over the next few days, Al struggled to complete the large amount of homework assigned by the teachers, and because Hermione was there, they had to devote a lot of time to it, night after night.

However, it was also because of Hermione's presence that they could complete these assignments relatively easily, because as long as they had Hermione check their assignments, they would get the correct answers, and they would not have to go through the boring textbooks themselves.

Then, at breakfast one day, Harry's owl, Hedwig, brought Harry a note from Hagrid. There are only four words scribbled on it: It's almost out of the shell.

Neither Harry nor Ron wanted to take the next herb class, and both wanted to go straight to Hagrid's hut to see the egg, but Hermione firmly disagreed.

"Hermione, how many times in our lives can we see the dragons come out of their shells?" Ron said anxiously, but Hermione remained unmoved.

"We're going to have class soon, and going out at this time is going to get you in trouble, and if anyone finds out what Hagrid did, he'll be even more unlucky than us. ”

Ron was about to say something, but Al interrupted him.

"Don't say anything. Al waved his hand at Ron and said, "Hermione is right, and be careful that the wall has ears. ”

Harry and Ron realized that Malfoy was a few steps away from them, listening to their conversation with their ears pricked up.

"Get out of here, Malfoy!" Ron looked at Malfoy in disgust and spat on the ground.

Seeing Malfoy leave with a snickering smile, El's heart immediately sank, and they really didn't know how much their conversation was overheard by Malfoy.

Al looked at Ron helplessly and said, "I hope that the next time you speak, you will pay attention to the situation around you first, and don't reveal all your secrets to outsiders." ”

Ron knew it was all his fault this time, so he blushed and didn't say anything.

To be honest, Al is also a very curious person, and he really wants to see what the dragon looks like when it breaks its shell, but now is obviously not the time.

In the herb class, after a heated debate with Hermione, Hermione finally agreed to go to Hagrid's cabin with the three of them during the morning recess.

They managed to get through to the end of class, and as soon as the bell rang in the castle, the four of them threw down their shovels and hurried out of the castle towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid greeted them outside the door of the cabin, looking red and happy.

Upon entering the cabin, Al found the dragon egg on the table, and there was already a deep crack in the egg, and something was moving in it, making a playful clicking sound.

They all moved their chairs closer to the table, holding their breath and watching closely.

Suddenly, with a piercing scraping sound, the dragon egg cracked. A Norwegian Ridgeback pup crumbled the eggshell from within, then emerged and waddled and fluttered on the table.

Al frowned, the little dragon didn't look pretty, it looked like a crumpled black umbrella. Its spiny wings were huge compared to its thin, jet-black body.

The little dragon also has a long, large nose with white nostrils, horn-shaped bumps on its head, and orange-red eyes that protrude outward.

The little dragon sneezed, and a few sparks erupted from his nose.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid muttered as he looked at the dragon.

Hermione furrowed her brow and said, "Pretty? I think it's ugly." ”

As if he hadn't heard, Hagrid reached out a hand and touched the dragon's head, which bit his finger into the mouth, revealing its long fangs.

"Oh my God, you see, it still knows its mother!" said Hagrid.

Al reluctantly covered his forehead, it seemed that Hagrid had gone mad and thought of himself as the mother of a Norwegian spinback dragon.
