Everyone always has one kind of imagination about dragons.

Dragons, both in the world of normal humans and in the world of wizards, are a symbol of strength. Although in human interpretation, they tend to be evil, and are overly enthusiastic about robbing princesses. The point is that the princess can still be intact and waiting for the brave to save her even after being captured for a few days or even months.

In the wizards' world, dragons are less mysterious. However, their sheer strength and relatively small numbers have left wizards with little insight into them.

"This is a dragon egg, what kind of dragon will hatch?"

Hermione asked, curiously. The fingers were moving gently, obviously a little bit of a desire to move their hands and feet. Naturally, her little gesture didn't hide Hagrid's eyes. He stared at this little girl who was a little too curious, and did not dare to let down his guard.

"I thought you weren't interested in Fantastic Beasts."

Taylor looked at the enthusiastic Hermione and said with some confusion.

Hermione glanced at Luke, then said, "It's really hard not to be interested if someone is whispering these things in your ear. ”

Taylor choked up, but nodded quickly. After all, reflecting on herself, she was interested in magical beasts in the first place because many magical beasts were necessary potion materials. But since the beginning of the school year, she has indeed become more and more interested in Fantastic Beasts, and she is about to be promoted from materials to Fantastic Beasts themselves.

Obviously, it is also inseparable from Luke's influence.

Hagrid glanced at Luke with a considerable amount of anticipation in his eyes. But Luke could only shake his head. He has a lot of talent and interest in it, but he doesn't have that much time. Analyze the type of dragon that will hatch from the shape and pattern of a dragon egg. This is clearly beyond Luke's capabilities.

Looking at Hagrid's surprised eyes, Luke shook his head and said, "I'm not Superman, and I really don't know enough about fire dragons. ”

"You know, I'm closer to snakes."

Hagrid really showed a look of envy: "I can communicate with most snakes!" This is truly an enviable talent! ”

After finishing speaking, he patted the book "Raising Fire Dragons for Recreation and Profit" on his lap and said, "I have read it, and the content of this book is very complete, although it is a bit outdated. ”

With that, he opened the book, flipped to the page, handed it to Hermione, and said, "This page says how to tell the difference between different eggs. From the description above, it appears that I got a Norwegian spineback. Very rare variety. There's also the front of the hatching eggs and all the precautions after hatching, you see, put the eggs in the fire, because their mother will exhale at them. And after hatching, it is fed a barrel of chicken blood brandy every half hour. ”

Hagrid said with great euphoria, apparently having studied it carefully for a long time. And happy and proud of it.

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

Hermione looked at the book seriously, then pushed it away, looked into Hagrid's eyes and asked, "Let's not talk about whether it is a violation or not, Hagrid, you are here in a wooden house, and according to the description in the book, they also breathed fire when they were young." ”

"And they grow so fast, your hut won't be able to hold it so quickly, but that doesn't mean it's as easy for you to hide as it is when it hatches."

Hermione said some very important points, after all, raising dragons does not mean just raising dragons.

"And what are you going to do with the accounts of its food, how are you going to restrain it if it gets out of control, and in the worst case, how to get rid of your relationship if someone finds out."

Taylor shook his head and said to Hagrid, "Hagrid, I think you really need to think about these things. ”

Both Taylor and Hermione were earnest when they said this, and they thought about a lot of things. But Hagrid still looked nonchalant.

"Seriously, Hagrid, we're down to business!"

Hermione looked at Hagrid and said with some dissatisfaction. Taylor, on the other hand, was the old god who was there and kept his mouth shut, and he didn't mean to speak.

Luke was willing to persuade her, Hagrid really didn't have to do that.

Luke didn't say anything, these are all false, and Hagrid's dragon must not be kept. Such a dangerous creature, if placed in the Forbidden Forest, will also turn the existing pattern of the Forbidden Forest upside down, and then everyone will not be able to get by.

If the creatures in the Forbidden Forest really go out of control, even Dumbledore would have to be careful to save everyone. But now Dumbledore is really an old man. The energy is not as abundant as when he was younger, and it is better not to count on him at critical moments.

At that moment, Luke heard the wind blowing through the open window, and heard the murmur in it.

"Hagrid, it's time for you to patrol the forest."

Luke prompted.

Hagrid slapped his head on the back, quickly got up, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot." Really, a little too happy. Luke, don't forget the time to go back to the dorm. I know you're capable, but neither Taylor nor Hermione can do it. ”

"Peace of mind, I know it."

Luke said to Hagrid with a smile, but when he said this, Hermione and Taylor around him pouted silently. Apparently there was no trust in Luke's words.

But Hagrid nodded trustingly and said, "Okay, then I'll go first, the Forbidden Forest has been getting more and more unquiet these days." Something seems to have happened to the unicorns, so I'm going to have to take a good look at it these days. ”

With that, Hagrid wrapped himself in his coat, then led his teeth, pushed open the door, and walked out into the dark Forbidden Forest in the distance.

Luke stared at the closed door for a moment, then turned to Hermione and Taylor and said, "You two go back and rest first, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest to have a look." ”

"It's dangerous." Hermione looked at Luke with a frown, anticipating Luke's actions, "Obviously. The current situation in the Forbidden Forest is certainly very different from what you have experienced before. ”

Luke was not surprised, they repaired for nearly half a month during the Christmas holiday, and in this half month, Quirrell couldn't make any name for himself, so it would be too much to underestimate Voldemort behind him.

"Don't worry, I'm sure, they can't do anything to me."

Luke clenched the Slytherin wand in his hand, not the slightest fear in his heart.

Voldemort's current state is really not necessarily his opponent with full firepower, which was already reflected in the last collision between the two men. Even if Voldemort has now regained more strength, it really doesn't necessarily make any difference in the ending.

After all, Luke wasn't standing still.

When Hermione heard this, she stopped talking. Unlike Hagrid, she has been with Luke for a long time. Naturally, he also knew that Luke at this time could not be persuaded.

Taylor was silent on the side, just looking at Luke with some concern.

And Luke had no intention of speaking again. Directly pushed open the door and walked out. Only instead of following the path, he walked through the grass and woods and went in the other direction.

Both Hermione and Taylor walked to the door and watched Luke leave.

He walked into the dark jungle and soon disappeared from the cause of the people. It's like being one with it. Unpredictable, unpredictable, dangerous.

At some point, the moon pulled through a cloud and covered his face. It makes the originally bright vision very dark. In winter, the dry and cold wind cut the face like a knife. There seemed to be some strange language in the roar of the wind. Like crying, like a song, like a murmur.

Hermione and Taylor remained silent for a long time. In the end, it was Taylor who spoke first, "Let's go back first." ”

"Yes." Hermione replied simply.

The two of them didn't communicate much, but both of them had some realizations in their hearts.

There may be many twists and turns in life in the future, but now it seems that they have no better choice. Hermione was still watching, but she was already sinking deeper and deeper unconsciously.

Taylor was ready to fall into the abyss from the start.

Luke shuddered, then unconsciously stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Gan Wencui, who was beside him, straightened up and looked around, then shook his head and said, "Your Highness, there is no breath of others for the time being. ”

Luke's tightness didn't stretch any further.

"Maybe I'm a little suspicious."

"You're alert, Your Highness."

The head in the middle hurriedly answered. Luke's heart was very satisfied with this, no wonder everyone likes to bring a few of these types of little brothers with them.

However, Luke did not get carried away, and turned to a straight face: "Go on, you have already prepared an ambush over there, right?" ”

"It's been ambushed, but I didn't dare to go deep into His Highness." Gan Wencui was a little embarrassed, "Although the other party's strength doesn't seem to be so strong, I don't know why it always gives us a sense of danger." ”

"That's for sure." Luke said as he walked, "The other party is also a very strong guy, although the current state is not good, but it is no problem to suppress those weaker magical beasts." ”

In fact, as long as Gan Wencui is ambushed in person, he will be immune to this inexplicable sense of danger. But it's not a smart choice. Voldemort is also a snake, and although he may not be able to control the Runi snake now, that doesn't mean it won't be suppressed.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of our weakness."

Gan Wencui did not take this as a relief, but as a lesson that was not severe. But that's a good thing for Luke.

"Then make yourself stronger."

I don't know if he is persuading others or himself.

Overly strong abilities often have quite side effects, such as the Slytherin wand, which strengthens Luke while also causing a large amount of outside magic to pour into Luke's body. And in the magic of this world, there is often a certain spiritual bias. Even if we accept such an ability, even if we have withstood the impact of consciousness, it is impossible to completely eliminate the influence of this external consciousness on ourselves.

If it weren't for the system, Luke would probably not have dared to use the snake trick a long time ago.

Who knows if after using it a few times, it will still not be itself.

The system was able to protect Luke's mind, which was why Luke dared to use this trick boldly.

Walking in the forbidden forest, I don't know when, the only sound in my ears is the sound of my own footsteps, and the crawling sound of Gan Wencui beside me. This means that they have reached the ambush position, which is the area where the other party often moves.

"Hasn't Hagrid ever patrolled here?"

Luke's low, hoarse voice rang out in the Forbidden Forest, and his face was already covered with the snake-faced mask.

Gan Wencui's three heads looked at each other, reflecting for a while before remembering: "That half-giant, he is still quite responsible after inspecting here." But if the magical creatures here really want to hide, even the real giants won't be able to find us. Not to mention just a half-giant. ”

"And his patrol path is more concentrated in the place where the other half-giant is, and it is said that it is an inspection, but in fact, it is just a cursory glance."

"The Forbidden Forest is too big, Your Highness, if you want to conduct a comprehensive search here, this shouldn't be the job of one person."

Luke was silent when he heard this, what can be done, there are only a few teachers in the school after all, and the teaching work on weekdays can embarrass them to death, after all, this is seven years old to teach together, although the sixth and seventh grades are taught in small classes, but the depth of teaching has also gone up more than one level.

That's a lot of work in itself. On the night when she was going to help Hagrid patrol the woods the next day, when Professor McGonagall took Transfiguration class and turned into a cat, the hair was a little dull.

"I can't help it, why would there be a place like the Forbidden Forest in the school?" Luke asked, he had been wondering about this question for a long time, and even looked it up when he came home at Christmas, but in the end he didn't find anything.

Get only one sentence......

"The Forbidden Forest has existed since ancient times."

What a good one since ancient times...... Luke didn't have much to say.

And Luke's question made Gan Wencui stunned.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I don't know the answer to that question. If you can find Lord Slytherin's legacy, you might be able to find an answer. ”

Luke glanced at it with some deep meaning. But Gan Wencui lowered his head, and did not look up to see what Luke meant.

Suddenly, Toris ran out of Luke's pocket and looked at Gan Wencui with a puzzled look.

Gan Wencui reluctantly threw her body to the ground the moment Toris appeared, and even began to tremble a little. The head that was originally lowered is now eager to insert into those withered leaves.

Luke's eyes became even stranger.
