Chapter 462 Another one is lame
“Hagrid, are you okay?”
As soon as the wooden door opened from the inside, Harry was startled by Hagrid's bloodshot eyes.
In order to avoid the annoying review plan that Hermione made, Harry and Ron persuaded Hermione to go to Hagrid with them on the pretext that Hagrid invited everyone to have tea.
“I’m fine.”
Hagrid’s words were not very convincing, and he looked scary.
The matter of the dragon eggs has always troubled him.
Hagrid really wanted to have a dragon egg, but he couldn't figure out how to get it, which made him extremely annoyed.
If Quirrell knew Hagrid's thoughts, he would probably beg Hagrid to go to the Hog's Head pub, and he would hand over the dragon egg himself.
Unfortunately, Quirrell couldn't reveal himself, so his irritability was no better than Hagrid's.
“You don’t look like you’re okay.”
Ron muttered, if he hadn't known Hagrid for a long time, he would probably be shocked by his appearance.
Facing Harry's inquiry, Hagrid said nothing about the dragon eggs, only saying that he didn't sleep well last night.
Hermione guessed the reason, but she couldn't say it directly. She felt that Hagrid would become like this. It was probably caused by Albert's dragon egg prophecy. If she wanted to solve Hagrid's problem, she could only go to Albert. special.
After receiving Hermione's secret hint, Hagrid quickly came to his senses and immediately wrote a letter to Hermione, asking Hermione to help deliver it to Albert.
The content of the letter is very simple, it is to invite Albert to come over for tea.
After leaving Hagrid's hut, Harry, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back at Hermione: "Do you know something?"
Ron looked at Harry and then at Hermione. He had felt a little strange since just now, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
“Well, I know a little bit.”
“Don’t be titillating,” Ron urged.
“A prophecy.”
Hermione hesitated for a moment, then said: "About half a month ago, Albert made a prophecy to Hagrid. At that time, I saw him hurried towards Hagrid's hut, so I followed him."
"What prophecy?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"Albert predicted that Hagrid would get a dragon egg." Hermione looked very confused on her face. After a long silence, she continued: "Albert thought Hagrid would hatch a fire dragon from the egg. , and in the end, it seems that he will burn down his house because of raising dragons."
“Dragon eggs.” Ron’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Hagrid has always wanted to keep a dragon.” Harry recalled that Hagrid mentioned this when they first met. "He once told me he wanted to have a dragon."
“But…it’s illegal to raise a dragon,” Ron reminded.
"Albert obviously knew this, so he ran to warn Hagrid." Hermione sighed helplessly, "It's just that it didn't achieve the desired effect...Hagrid obviously didn't listen."
"It will cost a lot of money to get a dragon egg, and I dare say Hagrid can't afford it." Ron would be particularly depressed every time he mentioned money.
“What’s going on with the prophecy?” Harry cast a confused look at Hermione.
“There are very few true masters of prophecy.” Ron reminded. "Percy often complains that he doesn't learn much useful things in Divination class."
While they were chatting about the dragon eggs, they walked towards the common room, but did not find Albert.
Hermione was going to the library to try her luck. Harry seemed to have something to talk to Albert about, so he went with Hermione. As for Ron, he stayed in the common room and played wizard chess with his roommates.
The two of them failed to find Albert in the library.
"What are you doing with Albert?" Hermione asked in confusion. She didn't understand why Harry followed her to see Albert.
“I have something to ask him.”
They met Albert on the way to the hall. He was chatting with a beautiful red-haired girl about something.
Hermione hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and handed Hagrid's envelope to Albert.
"Um...can I have a few words with you alone?" Harry asked tangledly. He noticed Albert's raised eyebrows, but the latter finally agreed.
“What’s the matter, Potter?”
The two of them walked aside, and Albert was the first to ask.
"I heard from Hermione that you predicted that Hagrid would get a dragon egg, and now he seems..."
"Well, I probably understand what you mean." Albert nodded and said before Harry could finish, "It seems that Hagrid can't listen to my persuasion, and now he is preoccupied with the dragon egg thing."
“Hermione said you could prophesy.”
“Do you believe it?” Albert looked at Potter with a half-smile.
“I don’t know.” Harry shook his head.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a prophecy or not.” Albert laughed at himself. “Many people are unwilling to believe in so-called prophecies, especially when they haven’t been fulfilled yet.”
“Can you tell me who got the Philosopher’s Stone in the end?”
Harry hesitated for a long time and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
"Philosopher's Stone, do you mean the treasure hidden in the forbidden area on the fourth floor?" Albert saw Harry nodding and said, "Okay, I can tell you. You are the one who finally got that treasure. "
Speaking of this, Albert suddenly showed a strange smile, "Aren't you very happy."
"It seems that Snape failed in the end." Harry couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously he didn't believe Albert's prophecy, but after the incident with Hagrid and Hermione, Harry decided to believe it more or less. , everyone said that Albert was very magical, and his words were always accurate. Even if he could really do divination, it didn't seem to be a strange thing.
“What did you say to Albert just now?” Hermione was curious about what Harry had mysteriously talked to Albert after Albert left.
"He said I would get the Philosopher's Stone in the end." Harry hesitated, but still told Hermione, "Do you think he is telling the truth?"
"I don't know." Hermione shook her head. Looking at Harry's expression, she suddenly wanted to laugh. She knew clearly that he might be cheated, so why did she still look forward to it so much?
"By the way, that person just now should be the rumored Isobel. She is so beautiful." Hermione's thoughts drifted to the red-haired girl who was chatting with her just now.
Isobel told Hermione about the club. She thought Hermione had a chance to join a club organized by professors.
“Who is Isobel?” Harry asked confused.
"The genius witch of Ravenclaw, she just won the wizard card competition." Hermione was quite speechless. As expected, Harry had never paid special attention to these things.
