92. Malfoy: My estate is pretty big
"Of course."
Hagrid said.
"Then you still raise?"
Hagrid hesitated for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.
He has always been a tendon in doing things, and he has never thought about the future problems at all.
He knew it was a crime, but he wanted to raise it.
"Hagrid, have you ever wondered what to do when it is born?"
Harry also stared at the dragon eggs curiously, but he was not as obsessed as Ron and Malfoy, after all, he didn't grow up in the wizarding world, and the dragon gave him the feeling that it was not much different from the animals in the zoo, wasn't it just a fire-breathing lizard?
"Of course, I kept it at home, I learned a lot of ways to raise dragons, and I also prepared brandy and chicken blood, this is a Norwegian spinback dragon, very rare"
"But the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon is a fire dragon, and your house is a wooden house."
Ron looked around the house, not believing that it could withstand the dragon's breath.
Hagrid, however, ignored it, humming a little song and stirring the fire, as if he hadn't heard Ron.
Once again, Hagrid never thinks about doing things.
"Why don't you sell it to me? Whatever you want! ”
Malfoy offered his advice.
"Impossible! I wouldn't sell it to a Malfoy's! ”
Hagrid shouted excitedly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too heavy, after all, it was Lucius Malfoy and not Draco Malfoy, so he added, "But you can come and watch it." ”
"Really?!"
Malfoy, who was rejected and a little depressed, instantly came back to his senses.
Until he left, Malfoy's eyes were still fixed on the location of the fire.
He really loves dragons too much.
It's a pity that little Malfoy didn't notice that there was another pair of eyes behind him, looking at the dragon egg with eyes that were even hotter than him.
In the days that followed, at the mention of going to the Forbidden Forest to see Hagrid, Malfoy was definitely the most positive, more positive than Ron and Harry combined, and never said a word of disgust.
The dragon egg brought a sense of relief to the boring and busy life of the morning exercise team.
Time flies, and the date with Dumbledore is getting closer.
One morning, just after finishing a workout, Hedwig brought them a note.
Four words in total: "I'm going to be born." ”
At the end of the lesson, the group made their way to Hagrid's hut.
As he said, the little dragon is about to be born.
A small hole cracked in the dragon's egg, and it shook and shook as time went on, growing in amplitude and with a clicking sound. With a piercing scraping sound, a crumpled creature emerged from the dragon's egg.
The little dragon sneezed, and a few sparks erupted from his nose.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Hagrid muttered as he reached out a hand and touched the dragon's head. The little dragon bit his finger with great precision, revealing its long fangs.
"Oh my God, look, it knows its mother!"
"Do you want to touch it?"
Ron looked at himself, then at the fangs in the dragon's mouth, "I don't think that's the case. ”
The dragon thinks Hagrid is not so much its mother as it is food.
'Phew, wood, unpalatable. ’
Dudley heard the dragon say this, and it couldn't bite through Hagrid's skin.
Fantastic Beasts, launched.
"Hagrid, if I'm not mistaken, it will take less than a month for the Norwegian Ridgeback to grow to the limit of what your room can handle."
Neville said angrily, he had specifically gone to see the breeding of Norwegian spinal dragons.
The truth was even more exaggerated than Neville had said, the dragon had grown at least three times longer in just one week, and Hagrid would not have been able to keep the dragon at home in a single week.
Especially one breath, which almost really lit the hut, made Hagrid sober up a lot.
Xiaolong's stay is really a problem.
The crowd gathered in a circle and discussed.
Malfoy again offered his opinion: "Why don't you give it to me, my manor is quite big"
"Brother Drag." Before he could finish his advice, Dudley interrupted, "Your father Lucius won't agree, he'll tell Hagrid, and Malfoy Manor can't keep a dragon." ”
"Your father and Professor Dumbledore have always had a bad relationship."
Dudley was telling the truth, and unless Draco could actually become the steward of the Malfoy family, he wouldn't have to think about it.
"My advice is to keep it in the Forbidden Forest."
The Forbidden Forest, which is a very mythical place, no matter which magical creature books record, here gathered a large number of magical creatures deeds, unicorns, eight-eyed giant spiders, night riders, eagle-headed horses, winged beasts, griffins, etc., according to legend, the depths of the Forbidden Forest also inhabited dragons.
Don't disturb the sleeping dragon, this is the motto of Hogwarts.
Releasing the baby dragon into the Forbidden Forest is also a way to return it to nature.
"But it's too small."
Hagrid said, "Without my care, it would have died." ”
"Not really." Dudley shook his head: "As long as there is enough food, it will only take a month for the Norwegian Spine to fully pass the growth period. ”
"I think you know that better."
The growth rate of dragons in this world is unusually fast, and it does not take hundreds or even thousands of years to settle like other fantasy worlds. Of course, the dragons in this world, on the other hand, do not have hundreds of kilometers of size, super high IQ, and exaggerated dragon magic as described in other fantasy worlds.
It's still strong, but it's not as powerful as you think.
"You don't think about yourself, you should think about Professor Dumbledore."
"I guess you don't want to get him in trouble, do you?"
"Okay, but I can't bear it."
Hagrid seemed to be moved by Dudley's words, and he really didn't want to cause Dumbard more trouble.
"You can keep it in the shallow layer of the Forbidden Forest first, and when it is almost grown, it will leave, and if it has a deep enough relationship with you, maybe it will come to see you."
Hagrid agreed to Dudley's suggestion.
A week later, when the dragon had grown to the limit of what the hut could hold, Hagrid took it to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.
It was only three days before the little dragon disappeared without a trace.
"Noble is gone, and it doesn't want its mother anymore."
At first, Hagrid was sad and blew his nose, but this phenomenon did not last for a few days before he was caught by another piece of news.
In the woods north of the Forbidden Forest, news of the sighting of a scorpion-tailed scorpion.
Hagrid, who got the news, ran to the north with a look of excitement on his teeth and went to the north to squat.
He said he was going to artificially breed a human-headed sphin-tailed manticore.
———
At midnight, on a full moon night, the bright moonlight could not penetrate the dense Black Forest.
The Forbidden Forest, made up of these black trees, is like a huge black hole, isolated from the rest of the world.
The dots of light on the buttocks of the fireflies, the magical plants that glow at night, make the whole forest look less dark with their insignificant light, and there is a constant sound of cooing and whispering all around.
It's the rustle of leaves blown by the wind, and the cries of certain nocturnal creatures.
Exactly in line with the impression of the horror forest in the fairy tale accident.
The bright light struck, taking on a circular shape, illuminating the small half of the forest, and the magical creatures illuminated by the light let out a frightened scream and disappeared into the darkness.
A flashlight?
How could there be such a thing at Hogwarts.
That's the magic of light.
