Chapter 125: Dragon Egg

Back at school, Luke's life was full again.

His gift-giving plan was relatively successful, and even Snape, who had always been wary of him, would now give him a good look. It seems that those precious experimental materials were not given away in vain.

In other words, if people from other families see Luke's gift-giving posture, they will most likely scold a loser.

"If I give something of similar value to Luke before he gives it to me, my dad will be furious with me!"

These were Malfoy's words when he showed off the gifts Luke had given him to his henchmen.

The smugness on his face was barely disguised.

Of course, his gift to Luke wasn't unusual. Although it is only some decorations, it is not low in terms of value.

After meeting Luke, Harry politely expressed his gratitude, and said that he would definitely find an opportunity to make up for Luke's Christmas present.

It's not that he doesn't have money, he just doesn't have a channel to buy things.

Ron, scratching his head, asks Luke if he wants another pet. He can give Spotted to Luke, provided that Luke makes sure he can't put Booker and Spotted together.

Because Booker is really hungry for a bloated body.

However, Ron's gift made Ron a little desperate, and he didn't know how he could give Luke something of similar value.

To be honest, he didn't plan to give gifts to others in the first place. How can he have this spare money on hand...... He didn't even give Harry's.

And now Harry says he'll give Luke a gift in the future, and he'll have a hard time riding the tiger. I can't just say, 'I'm so happy you gave me a gift.'" But if you want me to give me a gift back, then I'm poor.'" Although this is true.

Luke is interested in Spotted and doesn't touch the rat at first because he hasn't had a plan for him yet. And now, Luke has a basic idea of what Peter Pettigrew can do. So now is not the time to arrange this rat by your side.

"No, Spotted is your pet, after all these years, let him follow you well."

Luke patted Ron on the shoulder, then ignored the kid. But judging by Ron's expression, he was now in a state of gratitude and guilt.

It was visible to the naked eye that the mouse that felt that it was about to hang up was also relieved, but there was some unkindness in the eyes that looked at Ron.

Unhappy after Booker a cat. He was outraged by the ups and downs of his feast that appeared out of thin air and then disappeared into thin air. So he angrily blocked Luke's hand that was about to hold him, and jumped into Taylor's arms at once, pretending to be pitiful. In this way, Taylor and a group of girls were relieved and fed. It also helped Luke get a lot of white eyes.

This was followed by a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. This time, instead of sitting in the audience, Professor Snape became the referee. Harry complained to Luke before the game that he felt Snape was staring at him. In fact, it was just an illusion, and the place where Snape's eyes stayed most was in the audience, especially where Professor Quirrell was.

It was clear that Professor Quirrell was about to lose his sights.

And Professor Quirrell's complexion was unusually good now. It looks like it's just a little pale.

"His life force was replenished and his pain was relieved. And what can delight the shadow of evil must be holy blood and even life. ”

Taylor glanced at Quirrell and subconsciously said this. Luke really thinks that this girl has already started to use magic stick skills.

This time the game was so fast, so fast that Luke didn't even think about Quirrell. In less than three minutes, Harry found the Golden Snitch.

Naturally, this speed did not break the record or anything. But it was a fairly short game. The rest of his teammates hadn't even finished the first round of attack and defense, and Harry's side had already blown the final whistle of the game.

Harry told Luke that at least half of his credit was on the medal. Luke just nodded. Such thanks are gladly accepted.

Later, Harry also talked to him about the Invisibility Cloak and the Mirror of Eris. Luke sighed inwardly when he heard Dumbledore and Harry finish their first heart-to-heart conversation under the tutelage of the Cloak of Invisibility and the Mirror of Eris.

The Mirror of Eris that Dumbledore had on hand was really useful. First for himself, then for Harry, and now for Voldemort. One fish and three eats belong to yes.

After that, Luke and Taylor were dragged to the library by Hermione for their final review.

With ten weeks left before the final exams, the revision began.

This kind of study attitude will definitely make those college students who work hard for two hours and score 60 points in the exam feel ashamed.

Not to mention that there are still ten weeks, even if there are ten days left, the college animals that start preparing for the end of the semester are considered a rare animal.

Luke couldn't remember the last time he had prepared for an exam.

Presumably...... Last time.

Just as he was staring at the book in front of him, and then his mind drifted to the edge of the universe, Luke suddenly felt his hand poked.

Then he looked up, and before he could ask Taylor next to him what was going on, he saw Hagrid, who was sneaky in his coat not far away.

His size and his movements just don't match each other.

"It's like an elephant preparing to hide in the bushes."

Watching Hagrid's movements, Hermione said with a frown.

Luke inexplicably felt that this metaphor was very appropriate, and then sighed that the power of the magic stick was really too strong, and in just a few days, Hermione spoke a bit like a magic stick.

"The way you speak is still changing. Not necessarily, really unnecessary. ”

Luke said bitterly to Taylor. But Taylor just nodded, without the slightest expression on his face. Apparently just perfunctory.

At this moment, Hagrid, who looked around, saw Luke, and greeted Luke with a big smile on his face, and then leaned over.

"Long time no see, Luke, I love your gift!"

Hagrid looked very happy: "That book of Magical Creatures of Mayhem really opened a new door for me. It is said that this book is not easy to find in the market. Thank you! ”

"The Mayhem of Magical Creatures", a book about the hybridization of magical creatures. This is very similar to Hagrid's research direction. It's all a bit crazy.

The book didn't sell well when it came out that year, because few people agreed with him.

But the book became a rarity because the research was gradually promoted. Luke knew about this book because it was mentioned in the experimental notes of one of the Gunter ancestors, and it was a great inspiration to him.

So he picked up a copy from someone else and gave it as a gift to Hagrid.

It can only be said that the Ollivanders family is too righteous, and they basically did not refuse Luke's reasonable requests, although they will give money, but this favor is also real.

Luke didn't mind having a deep conversation with the Ollivanders. After all, almost no one would think that the Ollivanders would be a threat.

They have no political stance and only guard their wand business. Although it is very profitable, in a sense, it is indeed a unique business, and there are generally only one or two professional wand-making households in a country. The others were almost meaningless.

So as long as the Ollivander family said that this favor should be paid by Luke, then he thinks he can most likely accept it. It would be nice to say that the owe is so indebted that the neutral archetype of the Ollivanders family is biased towards him.

"You're welcome, after all, I also think that book is very valuable, and if it's a gift, it's a happy gift."

Luke said to Hagrid with a smile.

Hagrid wanted to thank him again, but inexplicably sensed that the mood of the two girls around him was not quite right, so he keenly did not continue the topic. Although he is quite strong, he is actually a more sensitive and sensible person. Although sometimes it can be rough.

But roughness is in nature, and sensitivity is the 'gift' of the living environment since childhood.

You can't expect a society that isn't very friendly to Muggle wizards and extremely unfriendly to Squibs to treat a giant hybrid any better. Normal treatment is extravagant for them.

This is why the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ms. Maxime, is so repulsive about her true identity, even when she is surrounded by her own kind, still denies it.

She didn't want the criticism that had ceased on the surface to appear in front of his eyes again. This is something that is unacceptable to her.

"I've got something good to show you, Luke."

Hagrid winked at Luke mysteriously, but unfortunately, this statement was more or less easy to misunderstand.

Luke, who was pulled out of his unwarranted associations, nodded naturally: "To keep it a secret?" Okay tonight? ”

"Yes, no problem, but the two of us may have to patrol the forest first tonight...... No, I'll go patrol the forest myself, and you can help me watch the dots. ”

With that, Hagrid left without giving Luke another chance to ask questions.

Hermione looked at Hagrid's back as she left, frowning, "Mysterious ......"

Luke smiled, "If you're interested, let's go with us tonight." Hagrid wouldn't refuse. ”

Hermione was about to say no, because it was against the law, but after thinking about it, she was a little curious, so she didn't speak.

Taylor nodded slightly. There is a high probability that there will be no danger, but since Luke has proposed to take the two of them with him, there must be something else to arrange.

This kind of thing...... She's used to it.

Luke, on the other hand, looked at Hagrid's back and sighed inwardly.

He knew what Hagrid's secret was, it was nothing more than a dragon egg. But when this dragon egg appears, it means that the last battle of the first grade is not far away.

His changes to the original plot did not reach the point of such madness, mainly because Dumbledore watched closely, and there were some things that he couldn't intervene in. But this matter, after all, he cannot be allowed to sit idly by.

Obviously, after this battle, Hermione has lost the nature of review. It didn't take long to pull Taylor to whisper. Luke was also happy to be free, and walked freely around the library.

The books here are still quite attractive to him. After all, these books don't cover exactly the same categories as those at home.

In the library, he could even find several Muggle world classics.

For example, Les MisΓ©rables.

Removing the book from the shelf, judging by the cover, it is possible that no one has flipped through the book since it entered this library. There was no dust on it, which only showed that Mrs. Pince was conscientious in maintaining the library.

Of course, there are reasons why they only need a clean spell to dust up.

Luke held the book in his hand for a long time, and stuffed it back into the shelf.

This book is almost destined to be unattended in this library. Luke didn't even know what the person responsible for including this book thought in the first place, purely to enrich the library for the sake of enriching it?

There are all books on these rows of shelves, and of course there are only a few in the Muggle world. Presumably purely amused. It's more of the wizarding world. A fantasy that is considered high-quality in the Muggle world, but here it is real non-fiction literature.

Luke pulled out a copy of it, and the beautiful cover depicted a wizard in a robe and a wand in golden lines, condescendingly attacking a dragon with magic.

In the upper right corner of the book cover, the bronzed font reads "Dance of the Flying Dragon".

A book that I pulled out casually is all related to the flying dragon. Obviously, dragons, in the wizarding world, are quite popular creatures.

So it's understandable that Hagrid is obsessed with dragons. After experiencing a time when he was expelled for illegally raising dangerous magical animals, he still chose to illegally raise a dragon......

Luke thought it was crazy, but it was understandable. What man can resist the temptation to raise a dragon!

Luke calmed down and quietly looked at this book with a mediocre grammar, a thin plot, and an old-fashioned story. The development of the wizarding world is really a bit bad.

"This book doesn't ......"

Hagrid, sitting by the burning fireplace, pointed to the book on the table and spat at Luke mercilessly.

"The whole story looks wonderful, but the self-aggrandizing component is too high. The knowledge about dragons is also a bit strange, most of the time it is very proficient, but sometimes the explanation is not quite right. ”

Hermione frowned at Hagrid's words and stepped forward to pick up the book.

"Flying with Dragons, Gilderoy Lockhart......" Hermione shook her head, "I've heard that he seems to be a great wizard and has written a lot of books that sell well. ”

"That doesn't prove him right." Hagrid shrugged, "Some of them are a little bit of a mistake that a layman like me can tell. ”

Hermione tried to retort, but Taylor's voice interrupted her.

"Lockhart, Hagrid, are you sure you're hatching eggs?"

In the center of the fire, under the kettle, lies a large egg of the Black Lagoon.

"I feel like I'm cooking......" Taylor looked at Hagrid with a skeptical expression.

No, really a layman......
