Chapter 148: Harry's Conjecture

"Luckily, Hagrid isn't the kind of person who can keep secrets."

Fast forward to afternoon, and Harry couldn't help but take a deep breath as the three of them left Hagrid's messy cabin.

At the same time, a relaxed smile finally appeared on his face that was still hateful.

Although it was a bit of a detour to use the matter of the fire dragon as a starting point, when the topic abruptly turned to the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid's unnatural performance confirmed his suspicions.

"Now, we should be able to determine the secret of the place under the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor, and the thing that Lu Wei is guarding is definitely Nicol Lemay's Philosopher's Stone."

This is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for the three children who have been investigating this kind of thing for a long time.

"Still, I can't believe Hagrid can be so nervous."

Hermione couldn't help but grumble.

"He actually wants to raise dragons in Hogwarts - it's against the school rules!"

"But I think it's cool, it's a dragon, and raising it must be a very powerful thing."

Ron had a completely different focus than Hermione, he focused more on the dragon itself.

"Think about it, it would be nice to be able to ride around the dragon...... I suddenly started to be jealous of Charlie. ”

Weasley's second son, Charlie.

After graduating from Hogwarts, he moved to work at the Dragon Research Base in Romania.

In the eyes of his youngest son, Ron, his second brother's job looks like he is exposed to the wind and sun, and there are more and more scars on his body, but this is obviously a promising job.

He had been envious of the company of the fire dragon and the study of the fire dragon or something, but now that he thought about it again, a certain excitement in his heart swelled to the point that he could not express it in words.

"I don't know if I'll be able to be like Charlie when I grow up...... I don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic to have an iron job when I grow up, as my mother said......"

"But that's not the problem."

Before Ron could continue to think about something, Hermione interrupted him completely.

"The important thing now is that it is against the school rules to keep fire dragons in schools."

Seeing Hermione's serious appearance, Ron felt a wave of boredom for no reason.

But he didn't want to make the girl cry, so he just retorted in a low voice:

"If you violate, you will violate, and there will be no punishment if you don't find out anyway."

"But this kind of thing can't be hidden, have you read the book!"

Seeing Ron's indifferent expression, Hermione also felt a burst of anger in her heart for no reason.

"How can you not hide it, you see that it is so small......"

Hermione's question finally hit the nail on the head, and although Ron had the heart to refute it, he was also a little weak-hearted.

The words are not solid, but there is a sense of emptiness like that of a rootless ping.

After all, he really didn't know much about the fire dragon.

But Hermione was different, she usually read a lot of miscellaneous books, and after seeing her friend seem to be studying the fire dragon before, she also took the time to borrow some related books to read.

Because of this, she has gained a lot of knowledge that she didn't think she would use.

"The dragon grows so fast in its infancy that it should be the size of a table in a week, and in a few months, it may not even fit in Hagrid's hut."

"Huh? That is to say......"

"If you don't hurry up and send the fire dragon away, once these news leak out, Professor Dumbledore will inevitably have to go to the Ministry of Magic again, and combined with the previous werewolf matter, the school will inevitably be turbulent for a while, and it will ...... then."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Harry frowned.

He hadn't intended to get involved in the conversation about dragons, but Hermione's inadvertent mention of the situation had made his already lively mind a little suspicious.

"What did you say before?"

"Huh? School Turmoil ......"

"Yes, you said that fire dragons are related to werewolves?"

Harry's leapfrog thinking and 'misreading' confused Hermione all at once.

"I didn't say it mattered, I said that the school can't go through any more turmoil."

When she came to her senses, she immediately denied it.

"I know, but don't you think Hagrid got the dragon at a coincidental time?"

Looking back at the hut that was far away from them, Harry pursed his lips.

Hermione's words were like a thread to him, connecting all the doubts and uneasiness in his heart at once.

"You see, Professor Dumbledore has only been back for a short time, and Hagrid has just gotten the dragon egg from Hogsmeade at this time for Christmas...... It's still for nothing! ”

Yes, Hagrid seems to be very proud of that.

It didn't cost a penny to get the precious dragon egg from a stranger, and he wanted to record it for people to observe and read every dayβ€”it was too cheap.

But in retrospect, is it really reasonable?

"Maybe ......"

Combining these, Harry frowned.

"Maybe it's Snape's conspiracy, and if Professor Dumbledore has to leave the school, then he must be the biggest beneficiary!"

"Shall we remind Professor Dumbledore then?"

When Harry pointed out the possibility, Ron's expression turned ugly.

For the whole school, the principal can be said to be the backbone.

And when this backbone is not there, what will be the result?

Thinking of this, they no longer had any stops, but instead rushed towards the castle.

"Headmaster Dumbledore must be informed......"

But before he could take two steps, Ron stopped again.

"But what about Hagrid's dragon? Didn't Hagrid not want the dragon thing to spread? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm sure Professor Dumbledore will have a way. ”

'Bang la la'

Suddenly, they heard the sound of wings flapping.

Following the prestige, a silvery bird came into view, which seemed to have just flown out of the Forbidden Forest.

After a grand circle in the sky, it flew directly to the tower where the headmaster's office was located, and flew in through the window.

Ignoring the phoenix on the shelf, it landed directly on a child's shoulder, merging into the body of his pet cat.

"Mr. Potter, it seems, is quite actionable."

Connor said with a smile.

He's been here since he finished his lunch.

"Although he is misguided in the general direction, he is also prone to emotion, and even has a kind of arrogance that is difficult to detect, but he does have a shrewd mind."

Slowly knocking on the table in the principal's room, Connor slowly got up, his emerald eyes staring at the old man in front of him.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, are you ready to meet his questions?"

Then, the gray-haired old headmaster looked up.

He just reached for something in the dirty-looking little bag on the table, and then pulled out a black piece of candy.

'Quack, Quack'

He didn't know what it tasted like, but Connor just saw him bite into the candy that looked very hard.

And then......

"Would you like a piece?"
