Chapter Seventy-One: The Birth of the Fire Dragon
Life was uneventful after exposing Hagrid's little secret, and Hogwarts was still in a calm state. Harry and his Gryffindor team easily defeated Hufflepuff, setting the record for the fastest time to get the Golden Snitch at Hogwarts.
Love's mood is also very good, firstly, because wizard killing is popular throughout the school and has a tendency to spread to the wizarding world, secondly, the troll mummy is very successful, and it won't take long to be used, and I don't know if Hagrid's fire dragon hatches first, or Love's mummy is made first.
With the second half of the school year approaching, the final exams are gradually approaching, the professors are starting to increase the amount of homework, and Hermione is starting to make a revision plan - there are still two and a half months before the end of the semester to start revision, which sounds a bit outrageous, but considering that this is Hermione, it seems to be acceptable.
As Hermione's two-and-a-half-month revision plan was finalized, Love received a letter from Hagrid.
The content of the letter was very short, just one line: "It's almost out of the shell."
"What is this?" Hermione asked, setting aside the parchment full of plans and staring curiously at the note that Love had received.
"Nothing."
Hermione:?
Her keen sense of smell told her that Love had something to hide from her. Seeing that Love didn't seem to have any intention of talking to her, she decided to find out the matter herself.
It's just that she didn't notice that Malfoy, who was not far away, was also paying attention to their small movements, with a thoughtful expression.
After class, Love made a beeline for Hagrid's hut, with Hermione far behind. Love sensed Hermione's presence, because the little girl was really not good at tracking, but he didn't stop it, because he didn't want to hide it from her. I didn't tell her in class because there were so many people in the class, and Love didn't want to go against Hagrid's low-key wishes. He wouldn't have told Hermione Hagrid about hatching dragons, but if she found out for herself, it wouldn't be impossible. After all, Hermione was a mutual friend of him and Hagrid, and he was very reliable.
When Love knocked on Hagrid's door, Hagrid opened the door with a red face, and Faulcy was already waiting inside.
"It's about to break." Hagrid let Love into the cabin. The dragon egg had been transferred to the table, with a deep crack in it. Love could clearly hear something moving inside, a clattering sound.
He sat down on the chair next to the table, holding his breath, quietly waiting for the dragon to be born.
However, although the dragon egg had already behaved like that, it did not break until the sun was setting in the west and the three of them were a little tired, the crack in the dragon egg suddenly expanded by a section, and at the same time there was a harsh scraping sound, and the egg shattered.
A small dragon emerged from it and staggered around the table. Newborn fire dragons, like most newborn animals, are not pretty. It looks like a crumpled black umbrella, its black and thin body is like an umbrella shaft, its spiny wings are the umbrella surface, the tiny bones on the wings are the umbrella bones, and even the cocked tail is the shape of the umbrella handle.
In addition, the little fire dragon has a pair of orange-red eyes that protrude outwards and a long nose, and wisps of white smoke are constantly spilling from its nostrils.
Perhaps it was the air in the room that made it a little uncomfortable, and as soon as it broke through its shell, the little fire dragon sneezed and spewed out a few sparks.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid muttered. He reached out a hand and touched the dragon's head. The little dragon bared its long fangs, stretched its neck forward like a snake, and attacked, almost biting his fingers.
"It's really beautiful." Faulksi's face was full of envy, and she almost wrote "want" on her face.
"How are you going to raise it?" Looking at the little fire dragon that had just been born with its edge, Hermione was worried for Hagrid.
Hagrid was about to answer, when suddenly his face turned white, and he jumped to his feet and ran to the window.
"A boy was peeking through the curtains." His voice trembled.
"It's not a big problem." Foxie and Love got up at the same time, and Love slammed open the window, clutching the curtain in his hand, while Foxie drew his wand and aimed it at the figure that was running wildly in the direction of the castle.
Even though the sun was about to set, Love could still clearly identify Malfoy's figure.
"Faint!"
The spell hit Malfoy, who had already run more than ten meters away, and he fell to the lawn with a thud.
"Oh my God! You-" Hermione was overwhelmed, she couldn't imagine the consequences of doing so, Hagrid could go to jail, and Sister Foxie would be expelled for casting a spell on her classmates.
"As long as no one remembers what happened, nothing happened." After leaving such a sentence, Faucie hurried out of the hut. She approached Malfoy in a comatose manner, pointed her wand at his head and said, "Forget it!" ”
After casting the spell, she silently left Malfoy's side and lifted the effects of the stun spell on him.
After the effects of the Unconscious Spell were removed, Malfoy stood up from the ground in a daze, not understanding why he was here.
"Scare him away." Faulcy asked Hagrid to step in and put an end to the farce.
"Hey! What are you doing? Hagrid shouted, "Curfew is coming soon." ”
Malfoy glanced at him, muttered something under his breath, and staggered back to the castle.
Looking at Malfoy's departing back, Faulcy shrugged her shoulders, "The Forgetting Charm can be very useful sometimes. ”
Both Hermione and Hagrid were silent.
It was only after a moment that Hagrid thanked Faulce. It wouldn't be a big deal for Love and Hermione to know about his dragon breeding, but if Malfoy knew......
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a Slytherin who helped him settle the trouble.
If she hadn't discovered her secret with Love in the first place, and that she and Love were friends, Hagrid would never have invited a Slytherin into his room for tea. At this point, his impression of Slytherin House changed slightly for the better, from "it's full of bad guys" to "there are still good people in that house".
Malfoy's sudden appearance took the attention of the three Loves, so much so that the newborn fire dragon was completely ignored. However, the little fire dragon did not get angry, frustrated, or run away because of this, it just shook its body, stretched its wings, and began to eat the eggshells on the table.
Obviously, the nutrients contained in the eggshell provide the most valuable energy to the newborn fire dragon.
When it finished eating the eggshell, it looked up, only to find that the three big men had surrounded itself, staring at itself.
Baby Fire Dragon: Weak, helpless, but very edible.
