Chapter Seventy-Seven: Raising but Not Taming

"Dragons?" Hermione was surprised and looked left and right, "Where?" ”

Harry pointed to the egg in the fire, and he couldn't be mistaken, it was a dragon egg, and it was a Norwegian Ridgeback egg.

Since that two years ago, he probably won't forget the Norwegian Ridgeback for the rest of his life.

"Oh my God, Hagrid, where did the dragon eggs come from, do we have dragons in the Forbidden Forest?" Hermione was surprised.

"Oh, no... I got it last night while drinking, I was playing cards with a wizard, and he lost badly, so I had to give him to me. Honestly, maybe that guy was in a hurry to get rid of him. ”

"In a hurry to get out?" Harry's jaw was a little closed, and he stared blankly at Hagrid.

"Hagrid, don't be kidding, dragon eggs have no price."

He only saw a bunch of illegal goblins in Norway last year who lost their lives for dragon eggs. This is something that ordinary people can't want, how can anyone be in a hurry to get rid of it, or at the wine table.

Harry instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Hagrid, I don't think anyone would really put a valuable dragon egg on the table, what did you pay for?" He said.

"What to pay for? We had a great conversation. Hagrid said nonchalantly.

Harry leaned his hand on the table and moved closer to Hagrid.

"Drink a lot."

"Of course, what exactly do you want to say. Harry, how weird. ”

"Didn't he steal from you while you were too drunk?" Harry asked.

"Harry, don't think about it. He's a nice guy, and we talked a lot about magical beasts. ”

When Harry saw Hagrid's sworn appearance, he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much." Still, I think you should tell Dumbledore about it.

It's illegal to keep a dragon privately, and you don't want to lose your job. ”

Hagrid nodded, and said in a somewhat coping tone, "I know, I just... I'll hatch him out first. Otherwise, he would have died, right? ”

Harry glanced at "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit" next to Hagrid, and could only nod his head and say no more about it.

After chatting for a while, the two couldn't stand the stuffiness of the hut, so they had to leave early.

Walking on the breezy lawn and dispelling the heat from their bodies, they felt as if they had come back to life.

"Hagrid really loves critters." Hermione said, "He looked at the egg with eyes that were so gentle that they were dripping, and he was humming a song. ”

Harry could only nod his head, but he still had to add, "That's not a small animal, the dragon can grow bigger than his table in a week, and the fire-breathing organs can mature in a month."

It's Hagrid's physique that can see these huge animals as small treasures—"

His words snapped to a halt, and Snape's grim face and bloody thighs leaped into his mind.

A beast that even Snape found tricky and wounded by it, in the castle!

"What's wrong?"

"I... I'm not sure, but I think we'll have to go to Hagrid again. Harry grasped the problem, and he knew why he was feeling wrong.

Led by Harry, the two of them hurried back to Hagrid's hut, knocking on the door.

After a long while, when the door opened, Harry asked straight to the point, "Hagrid, did you put some beast on the fourth floor, is that what you said about 'that plan'!" ”

Hearing this, Hagrid was immediately shocked: "What, why are you still thinking about this, no, absolutely not." ”

Even Hermione could tell from Hagrid's look that he was lying.

"Did you talk to him too, you just said that you had a great conversation, and you talked about a lot of magical beasts." Harry continued.

"Who?"

"The guy who gave you the dragon egg, didn't he talk to you about the huge beast you put on the fourth floor."

"That's not a beast," Hagrid argued, his mind involuntarily recalling what had happened last night.

"That's right, I've talked to him about Lowe and he's interested—" Hagrid's voice grew lower.

"Who is Lowe?" Hermione asked.

"Lowe is a big three-headed dog I gave Dumbledore to guard the Philosopher's Stone, no! Don't ask, it's confidential. "Hagrid is already a bit of a mess.

Hearing this, Harry couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Three-headed dog, no wonder Professor Snape's injury is like that." ”

As he spoke, he explained to Hermione, "That thing made Snape eat a good pot." ”

A beast that even Snape can stop protects the Philosopher's Stone! That dark wizard is trying to find some tricks from Hagrid to solve the problem of Lowe?!

"Impossible!" After listening to Harry's speculation, Hagrid swore that "Luwe's solution is only known to me and Dumbledore, and I have never said anything else. ”

Harry looked at him, "Drunken people don't know what they're saying. ”

His last sentence removed Hagrid's last fluke, and immediately made his whole body soften.

"Hagrid, go tell Dumbledore. I'm just speculating, and telling Dumbledore is the best option. Harry said:

"You don't want the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore has tried so hard to protect, do you?"

Hagrid's heart felt like he had been cut back and forth by a thousand knives, and Harry's words went straight to the bottom of his heart.

His loyalty to Dumbledore meant that he would not allow anything to slip through the cracks.

Well, although it's already everywhere ...

Hagrid's face was distorted, and it took a long moment before he nodded dejectedly, "Harry, I think you're right. ”

With that, Hagrid turned around and closed the door, and followed the two of them towards the castle...

……

A week later, something happened that they didn't expect. At breakfast, Hedwig brought a note, and when they opened it, it was crooked, with obvious personal characters.

"It's almost out of the shell."

??

Harry's head almost didn't turn the corner, what does that mean... Out of the shell? Dragon? Dumbledore allowed it?!

After the morning herb class, the two of them went to the hut, and Hagrid quickly opened the door, his face flushed and happy. He smiled: "It's a pity, you're late, otherwise you would definitely have seen the moment he broke his shell." ”

Harry didn't think anything of it, he had seen the dragons come out of their shells, and there were four of them. However, Hermione had some regrets, but it was only regrets, she would never have missed class, just to see the dragon come out of the shell.

"Dumbledore said, I can raise it first. It was too small to withstand the bumps of the journey to the dragon field. ”

"What about the fourth floor?" Harry cared more about that.

"Dumbledore already knows, he'll take care of it, he's capable of anything." Hagrid said lightly, clearly not in a good mood.

As he spoke, the two were ushered into the room by Hagrid, and at once they saw a small dragon on his desk.

It has spiny wings and a thin, jet-black body. It also has a large, long nose with white nostrils, horn bumps on its head, and orange-red eyes protruding outward.

At this time, it was drinking the brandy mixed chicken blood that Hagrid had prepared for it, and its whole head was buried in it, and it looked very bloody.

"Oh... And that's... Dragon. Hermione was a little hard to accept, this little guy was really not good-looking. But looking at Hagrid like that, he obviously loves it.

Harry and Hermione could only hope that Hagrid would actually take care of it.

However... This is clearly unrealistic.

A week later, when Harry saw the dragon bite Hagrid's hand, and Hagrid only giggled, he knew that if he left the dragon like this, it would sooner or later be the same as Dudley.

Raising but not educating harms others and oneself.

Harry knew where to find the Dragon Training cheats.
