Chapter 477 I’ve known it for a long time
The hatching of dragon eggs is a slow process. According to the description in the book, the dragon eggs need to be roasted in the fire. This process is to imitate the breath of the fire dragon. The female dragon usually uses its breath to warm the eggs. It is really It's amazing that the dragon eggs are not cooked by the high temperature of the flames and turn into roasted dragon eggs.
If Hagrid accidentally cooked the dragon eggs, Albert wouldn't mind tasting the roasted dragon eggs.
Just when this idea came to Albert's mind, he found that his task panel actually triggered a new task: Gourmet.
Looking at the mission, then at the dragon egg, and then at the reward given by the mission, after thinking about it for three seconds, Albert simply gave up.
If he secretly eats the dragon egg, Hagrid will probably be so sad that he passes out!
He is not a devil who will do whatever it takes to achieve his mission.
Let's wait and find other opportunities later to eat dragon eggs or something like that!
Actually, if he hadn't known that the egg would eventually hatch into a dragon, Albert would have thought that the dragon egg had been cooked.
There is no way, the surface of the dragon egg has been roasted black by Hagrid.
Hagrid needs to bake the dragon eggs in the fire at intervals every day, and he cannot bake them in the fire for too long.
He himself didn't find it troublesome at all. Instead, he hummed happily and enjoyed the process of hatching a dragon. He also began to regard himself as a mother. Albert couldn't accept this style of painting and couldn't help but raise his hand. Cover your face.
During the Easter holidays, Albert would go to Hagrid's side whenever he had free time to help Hagrid make follow-up preparations for raising dragons, so as to avoid Hagrid getting himself into a mess after waiting for dragon eggs to hatch out.
According to the introduction in the book, Hagrid bought a lot of brandy and raised a lot of chickens in the chicken shed. Brandy mixed with chicken blood is very suitable for newborn dragons.
As for whether Harry and his two friends had discovered that Hagrid was hatching dragon eggs, Albert was really not sure.
Every time he went to Hagrid, he didn't see Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Seeing that the Easter holiday was coming to an end, Albert was ready to find an opportunity to ask Hagrid if anyone else knew about this matter.
As a result, before he even asked, Hermione came to him.
"You said Hagrid wanted to raise a dragon?" Albert looked at the girl in front of him who was hesitant to speak in confusion. He could probably guess what was going on and comforted him softly, "He said it a long time ago. I want to raise a dragon.”
"Hagrid... got a dragon egg from somewhere. I mean, if someone found out that Hagrid was illegally raising a dragon in his hut, what would happen to him?" Hermione took a deep breath and tried her best. Organize appropriate words in your brain, "Your prediction has come true.
"I'll probably be fined a lot of money, and then go to the wizard prison Azkaban for a while." Albert thought for a while and answered Hermione's question.
Hermione opened her mouth, the expression on her face became even more uneasy, but she also knew that it was basically impossible for Hagrid to give up hatching dragon eggs.
After much hesitation, Hermione finally plucked up the courage to come to Albert to discuss the matter, because Albert had predicted this a long time ago.
She also discussed it with Harry and Ron, but couldn't get any better solution.
Hermione is not Harry or Ron, she thinks more than her two companions.
Hagrid could never hide the fact about raising a dragon. Even after the dragon hatched, it only took a month, so it would be difficult to hide it from other people.
"Also, you shouldn't mention this to me here. The more people know about it, the more troublesome it will be. You should keep it a secret." Albert reminded Hermione kindly, "Actually, I I warned Hagrid from the beginning and told him not to let others know."
Albert raised his finger to his mouth and made a shushing gesture.
"Don't worry about this, just ask Principal Dumbledore to send it away when the time comes." Albert said his solution.
“Headmaster Dumbledore also knows about this?”
“Of course I don’t know, I will have to confess to him when the time comes.”
“What will happen to Hagrid?”
"I'll probably have my salary deducted for a few months!" Albert said uncertainly: "The probability of being kicked out of school shouldn't be very high."
"Is there really no other way?" Hermione didn't want Hagrid to be driven away. She knew that Hagrid liked Hogwarts very much and it was his home.
"I told Hagrid about this at the beginning." Albert looked at Hermione helplessly: "He insists on doing that, and there is nothing I can do. Even if he is really kicked out of Hogwarts, That is also the consequence that Hagrid must bear. Well, you should stop discussing this matter. Besides, your sense of confidentiality is really bad, and it will cause Hagrid trouble sooner or later."
Looking at Hermione's leaving figure, Albert couldn't help but shook his head, turned around and left.
…
"You mean, Albert already knew that Hagrid was hatching a dragon?" Harry and Ron both had surprised expressions on their faces after hearing Hermione's story.
"Wait, Hermione, you told Albert about this." Harry was a little confused as to why Hermione did this. Although Harry had a good impression of Albert, he... always felt like telling Albert about this. The others were bad, and he was equally concerned that too many people knowing about it would cause trouble for Hagrid.
"Albert predicted that Hagrid would raise a dragon a long time ago. I told you this." Hermione looked at Harry helplessly. She knew that the other party had forgotten. "Besides, so did Albert. Hagrid’s friend, his brain is better than ours, he may be able to find a solution, but you don’t want Hagrid to get into trouble because of this, right?”
If there is no good way, Hermione actually doesn't want to do this, but I have to say that having a reliable senior can really help them solve a lot of troubles.
“What did he say?” Ron was more curious about Albert’s solution to the matter.
"He said to ask the principal to send it away when the time comes." Hermione said with a complicated expression.
"This..." The two people couldn't help but look at each other. It was as if they had said this method as if they had not said it. They just didn't want others to know, so they didn't know what to do.
“If the headmaster knew that Hagrid had a dragon, would Hagrid be expelled?” Harry expressed his doubts.
"Albert said that with the headmaster's character, Hagrid will at most have his salary deducted, and the chance of being kicked out is low." Hermione raised her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture, "He thinks our He's terrible at keeping secrets, and I think he's right, it's best if we don't discuss this elsewhere, lest more people know about it."
Ron was a little unhappy with this statement and retorted, "We will definitely keep this secret."
After that, Harry and Ron stopped discussing the dragon eggs.
Of course, one reason is that Harry is more concerned about the Sorcerer's Stone. Through what he learned from Hagrid, he learned that Snape was also involved in the protection of the Sorcerer's Stone.
Harry thought that Snape might have figured out what magic traps other teachers had set up, apart from Quirrell's magic trap and how to get through Fluffy.
Ron and Hermione had reservations about whether Snape was planning to steal the Philosopher's Stone. After all, Principal Dumbledore is not an idiot.
However, Harry didn't know that Snape had actually known for a long time that the famous Harry was doubting him, and he had labeled him as arrogant and nosy.
