"Hermione, what you're saying can only be used as a last resort without evidence. At that point, even if there was no evidence, it would make Dumbledore wary. "Ivy doesn't recommend either

"Before you do that, be prepared to fight alone, and you'd better find time to learn a few practical spells. Although Oddfall can't beat Snape, he's still our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Don't be careless! ”

"I'll go to Betty tomorrow for advice. You two are not allowed to be lazy! Hermione nodded, serious

"Ah~" Ron was screaming bitterly, turning his head to see that Harry was not moving next to him. Shoved him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh—nothing," Harry said to his senses, "I wonder why Qiluo stole the Philosopher's Stone?" ”

"What else, eternal life!" Ron didn't think twice

"No, it's not that simple. It occurred to me that every time — as long as I saw the back of Qiluo, the scar on my head would hurt. I thought it was Snape's fault. "Harry doesn't understand what he has to do with Stranger. Also, why is it just the back?

"It's weird. Do you remember the first time you met? Ivey asked

"Remember, I didn't say a few words. Hagrid introduced him, and I was about to shake his hand, but he didn't hold out his hand in a trembling voice. Harry recalled

"Why didn't he shake your hand?" Ivey continued to ask

"How do I know?"

The days that followed were busy. Harry, they don't know why, but they're very concerned about it.

To this end, Hermione also learned from Betty the "Activation", a spell that turns stillness into movement. This spell is very difficult, and only students in the fourth and fifth grades have access to it, and even Betty, who is extremely talented, is only at the beginning of the path. Hermione had been practicing for a long time under Betty's hands, and she could barely do it.

She wants to animate a paper butterfly. Except for Qiluo's class time, he was monitored outside Qiluo's house at other times. But then it turned out that it was unrealistic, and her magic lasted too short, only twenty minutes at most.

"Hermione, don't bother. There are a lot of people coming and going during the day, and it is impossible for Qiluo to choose to do it during the day. The best time to do this is at night, when everyone is asleep. Ivy reminded her not to be so tired

"But it was a long time"

"I don't think he'll be doing it anytime soon," he said, ready to say a little more, saving the trio from being paranoidic all day

"As long as Dumbledore is in school, I don't believe Stranger would have the guts to act right under his nose."

"Yes, Dumbledore is the one who defeated two generations of the Dark Lord." Harry clearly had faith in Dumbledore

"Easter is coming up, and exams are more than two months away, so you're still worried about it. Don't spend all day thinking about how to save the world. ”

Hagrid's hut on the outskirts of the hunting grounds

"Knock knock" Ivy knocked on the wooden door

"Who?" Hagrid opened the door, "Ivey? Betty? Why did you run to me? ”

"Long time no see, Hagrid. Brought you a gift" Ivy carried a bag about the size of him, filled with junk food. Burgers, cola, fries or whatever.

"Thanks, I haven't eaten Muggle food in a long time. Come in first," Hagrid stepped aside

When they came to the house, the three of them sat down around the campfire. Hagrid pulled two boxes of fries out of his bag and handed them to Ivey and Betty, then pulled out a burger and stuffed it whole into his mouth.

"It's so delicious, I remember it's called a hamburger, right?" After chewing two or three times, I swallowed.

"If you like it, Hagrid. I'm not going around in circles, I'm here today for something I want to ask you for. Seeing Hagrid's happy expression, Ivy hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"I like your candor and candor. Tell me, if there's anything you need my help with, I'll help you out. Hagrid slapped his chest and went straight down

"I heard Harry say you have a dragon egg, right?"

"Poof——! Ahem-" Hagrid, who was drinking Coke, squirted all over the ground, "Harry's big mouth." You didn't tell anyone else."

"Don't worry, Harry told us both. I came today to ask about this dragon egg. Ivy motioned for Hagrid to relax

"What do you want to do?"

"We want a little bit of its blood"

"Fire dragon blood? What do you want it for? ”

"Mainly my mother, who needs the essence blood of a young dragon to refine a potion."

"Erin~ That's okay, as long as you don't smoke too much, it won't have much impact." Hagrid still trusts Erin a lot

"Then I'll thank you for my mother," Ivy bowed

"It's okay, I've known her since I was in school." Hagrid didn't care

"How long will it take for dragon eggs to hatch?"

"Coming on, I've been keeping it in the fire. It shouldn't be more than a week," Hagrid thought for a moment, "I'll send you a message when it's time to hatch, just in time to come with Harry and them." ”

"Okay, then we won't bother much"

Herbal Lessons

"Ivey"

Everyone had just transplanted a mourning flower, and Professor Sprout told the young wizards to rest for a while. At this moment, Harry whispered to him, pointing to the note in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Ivey walked over

"Hagrid just sent a letter saying that the dragon egg is about to hatch, let's go and see it together!" Ron excitedly

"Shhhhh Harry saw Malfoy Station eavesdropping on them not far away

"You don't really want to go, do you? Ivey, you're not going to mess around, are you? Hermione said sternly

"Please, Hermione. How many times in our lives can we see a fire dragon come out of the shell? "Ron wants to skip class and go straight to it

"If we don't go to class, we're going to get in a lot of trouble. If Hagrid was found to be doing something, he would be even worse off than we are. Hermione clearly disagreed

"Stop arguing, Hermione. Let's sneak a peek at the head office during recess. Ivey played a round

"This ——, okay~" Hermione reluctantly agreed

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, the five men threw down their shovels and hurried across the meadow toward Hagrid's hut.

When they arrived, Hagrid Station was at the door to greet them. He was flushed and looked very happy.

"Quick! It's about to break," he couldn't wait

A few people walked into the house, and the dragon egg was on the table, and a crack had appeared in the egg. Through the gap, you can see that there is a black object arching outward. Several people gathered around the table, holding their breath and watching closely.

With a shrill scraping sound, the eggshell cracked. First an ugly head poked out, and it threw itself desperately out. After some struggle, the crack became bigger and bigger, and the little fire dragon crawled out of his whole body.

"Uh- is this the fire dragon? It's so ugly~" Hermione directly disliked it

"Well, I thought it was so imposing" Ron lost interest

The newborn fire dragon is indeed very inferior. It was jet black like a hairless black chicken, and the wings of the meat were the same as chicken wings, and they were all barbed. The two raised bumps of flesh on the forehead, combined with orange-red eyes, look hideous and disgusting. When it crawled out, it quickly ate up its eggshells.

"How? It's beautiful," Hagrid stared at the young dragon without blinking

"Hagrid, wait a minute, let me get some blood." Ivy pulled out a syringe

"Slow down, don't hurt him." Hagrid moved out of the way

"Don't worry, this is the syringe that I specially asked Erin to get. It doesn't hurt, there are no wounds yet. ”

There were no needles in the syringe, and Ivy just pressed his head against the young dragon's neck, and the sulfur-colored blood slowly drained into the tube on its own. I took a whole half tube, and although there was no pain, I could clearly feel that the little guy was much weaker.
