Chapter 70 The main story is back?
"Dragon eggs?!" Harry blurted out.
Hagrid was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily, "Harry, do you know him?!"
Harry nodded: "It's really a dragon egg! I've only seen similar patterns in books before."
Ted is a little envious of Harley, the Potter+Black family's collection of books is a huge treasure trove.
Think about the fact that the Marauders made the Marauder's Map and completed the Animagus when they were students. This is inseparable from the strong heritage of the two families.
Now Harley is at your fingertips~
Hagrid looked as if he had met a bosom friend, and he was as happy as a child weighing three or four hundred pounds, smiling broadly.
"Yes, the dragon egg! It's genuine! This is a Norwegian Ridgeback egg, very precious~" His voice was full of joy and pride.
It may be nature, he is particularly fond of, or obsessed with, those huge and ferocious beasts!
"It's not easy to hatch a dragon egg artificially. I flip through it every three hours, and I have prepared a lot of related books!" He pointed to a stack of books on one side of the table.
This is a book about raising dragons that Hagrid borrowed from the library, but I don't know how reliable it is.
《Fire Dragon, From Birth to Props》
"Breeding Dragons for Fun and Profit"
《From Fire Dragon Egg to Being Burned to Death》
《Guide to Raising Dragons》
Well, it doesn't look very reliable.
Anyway, Ted doesn't think it's a serious prescription to feed chicken blood to the dragonling.
Speaking of which, I still have a dragon egg!
Moreover, Azeroth produces red dragon eggs, which are much more advanced than fire dragons.
How to hatch is a problem, and there is no way to explain why...
Everyone looked at the dragon eggs placed in the charcoal fire of the stove, a little incredulous.
Ron asked in a daze, "Hagrid, raising dragons is against the law, right?!"
With this sentence, Hagrid's face collapsed: "Uh~ no, that, we are different..."
Hermione asked another question: "Does Dumbledore know?"
"Ah..." Hagrid opened his mouth, completely silent.
Ted didn’t think it was a problem at first sight. Hagrid couldn’t be kind enough to tell him to wait for someone to share his secrets and joys, only to be dealt a severe blow by these people.
He waved his hand, "I'll talk about those things later, at least I don't need to think about it until the dragon grows too big to be kept in the house."
He looked at Hagrid, who was visibly relieved.
That’s right, it’s like this~
Hagrid is naive in this regard, with a sense of optimism. Worry about tomorrow, worry about tomorrow, I will hatch eggs first today~
Ted took the conversation away, and everyone stopped thinking about the illegality of raising dragons, and began to appreciate dragon eggs.
After all, they are all little wizards, and they don't care about laws and the like at all. Instead, it is a living dragon egg in front of you, which is really fun!
This is the dragon egg written in the book, who has seen the real one before. Money can't buy this thing in the market.
"Hey, by the way, Hagrid, where did you get this dragon egg?" Harry asked suddenly.
Not only is it illegal to raise dragons, but it is also illegal to buy and sell dragon eggs.
Especially the Norwegian Ridgeback Egg, which was probably smuggled from the magic world of other countries.
"Hmm~" Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment, "I won it by playing cards~"
He grinned, "That guy still wants to win me? Haha, naive! Hmph~"
"Win it by playing cards?" Everyone didn't expect this to have such a legendary origin?
Hagrid happily told everyone how he met the smuggler in Hogsmeade Village's Pig's Head Pub, how distressed the smuggler was and how he couldn't get rid of it, and finally played cards with him Drinking, discussing the topic of magical animals, and finally losing the dragon egg to myself...
"Haha, this guy is still worried that I won't be able to handle it. I told him that the three-headed Lu Wei is also docile in my hands. I just need to play a piece of music for it, and it will go to sleep honestly!"
Hermione keenly discovered the key, "Lu Wei with three heads?"
"It's the three-headed dog!" Harry immediately thought of the three-headed dog that left a deep impression on him—the three-headed dog that sprayed all over his body.
"That three-headed dog is yours?" Ron asked.
He finally understood why Hagrid would take the risk of raising a dragon. After all, he already had a three-headed dog the size of a room, so a dragon was nothing, right?
Jerry gulped his saliva. The first time he saw it, the three-headed dog that blew all over the floor really shocked him. I'm just worried that this dog is meddling~
The three-headed dog is too fierce, its head is the size of a normal round table, and it can probably eat half a rib in one bite.
Although many of the little wizards opened the door on the third floor, none of them dared to try to open the secret door guarded by the three-headed dog.
Just the whine of the three heads is louder than a tractor.
Let’s not talk about little wizards, even Professor Quirrell and the crippled Voldemort are stumped?
So Halle and the others were mischievous, and after thinking about it for a week or two, there was nothing they could do, so they gave up.
If Hagrid hadn't mentioned it today, he would have really forgotten about the dog.
At this moment, Hagrid obviously panicked, "No, Lu Wei was not raised by me. I didn't..."
"The smuggler obviously didn't know how to take care of it, and it was almost tossed to death. I can't just watch it die like this?!"
Speaking of which, Hagrid glanced at Hermione, as if to prove Lu Wei's background, and added: "Dumbledore knows about Lu Wei. It was Dumbledore's idea to help guard the door... Oh!" He covered his mouth suddenly, feeling like he missed something.
Harry didn't care what Hagrid wanted to hide, but was extremely excited—the doubts that had been in the past half a year had finally come to fruition.
She hurriedly urged: "What on earth is Dumbledore hiding that he needs a three-headed dog to guard?"
Hagrid leaned back, as if there was a dangerous monster in front of him: "No! No! I don't know, I didn't say anything..."
"Say it, Hagrid! You know it!"
"I have no idea!"
"Say it!"
"I can't say!"
"Look, you still know!"
"Oh, my God, don't push me. I can't, I promised I couldn't say it." Hagrid was clearly caught up—from not admitting to being unable to say, it was tantamount to admitting.
Ted chimed in beside him: "But you have already mentioned the weakness of the three-headed Lu Wei."
"I didn't!" Hagrid was still insisting.
"Didn't you tell the person who lost your dragon egg?"
"Ah..." Hagrid let out a sound from his throat, and was speechless again.
Hermione continued to make up the knife: "That's right, play music, right?"
"No, don't..." Hagrid's voice was full of pity, and Neville couldn't bear to watch it, so he had to turn his face away.
Harry continued to insert the knife: "Even if you don't say it, we can play music to make it fall asleep, and then open the door to have a look."
"Don't! Don't! You can't! That's Dumbledore's and Nicole Flamel's secret... Oh!" Hagrid covered his mouth again, this time he really didn't speak.
However Ted and Harry teased him, he covered his mouth and said nothing.
This trick is useful, after all, if you don't speak, you won't slip up.
But what's the use of this, after all, the key information has already been revealed.
"Nicole Flamel? I have a little impression of this name, where did I read it?" Hermione frowned and thought hard.
It's just that Nicole May was born hundreds of years ago, and the books in the past century have rarely mentioned it, so she couldn't think of it for a while. It's not like Ted has a memory palace to "retrieve".
Ron is very smart, looking at Ted: "Ted must know!"
Copying the homework all copied the experience.
Ted shrugged: "Nicole Flamel, one of the greatest alchemists, made the only so far the Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone, one of the materials for making elixir, which can Turn base metals into gold."
"He also studied twelve new uses of dragon blood with Dumbledore, which was recorded on Dumbledore's chocolate frog card."
"Ah!" Hermione suddenly realized, and then patted her thigh vigorously, "Why didn't I remember that?"
Ted touched his thigh, "Please pat your own leg next time!"
Ron swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked with some difficulty: "Can touch stones into gold? My God! Dumbledore hid this thing under the three-headed dog?!"
His mind is now full of Midas, and the cpu has been overloaded.
Everyone was still discussing the Philosopher's Stone when they left, and they were very greedy.
And Hagrid was already paralyzed, looking lifeless.
After all, Dumbledore's secret was revealed to the group of six by himself, and he failed Dumbledore's expectations.
Hagrid: Come on, let's go. I'm tired…
I have to say that Dumbledore chose the right person for choosing Hagrid to keep it a secret.
This is simply tight-lipped!
Professor Quirrell + Voldemort, as well as Neville and Harley, don't they all know this one after the other?
Ginger is still old and spicy~
Speaking of sending dragon eggs, this is really a good idea. I don’t know if it’s Quirrell or Voldemort. Kill two birds with one stone!
One is to get out the weakness of the three-headed dog from Hagrid's mouth, and then you can break through the most difficult first hurdle.
Second, Hagrid, as a gamekeeper, was so busy hatching eggs and raising dragons that he didn't care to patrol the Forbidden Forest, so that Quirrell could attack unicorns.
Ted strengthened his belief: I will not step into the Forbidden Forest this whole year!
If this hits Voldemort, he will die!
As a result, the system sings a different tune:
"Ding ~ trigger task:
【Forbidden Forest Adventure (Red)】
