Chapter 479 is really unreliable
Albert didn't know much about how Quirrell was doing recently. Anyway, as long as his little life was going well, he would be fine.
One day after the Easter vacation, Hagrid suddenly asked Sheila to bring a note to Albert, with four words written on it: hatching soon.
“What’s hatching soon?” Fred looked at the contents on the note and asked curiously.
“Hagrid’s little pet.” Albert put the note into his pocket and said without thinking. Although it is rare for a fire dragon to emerge from its shell, Albert has no intention of going over to watch.
If he passes by himself, Fred, George and Lee Jordan might also go with him. God knows what will happen next.
So, let Harry Potter and his friends take their time!
“What little pet?” George asked.
“A little lizard.” Albert reminded: “What, are you interested? Don’t forget, we have classes later.”
In the impression of the three of them, Hagrid kept some ferocious pets. He really knew how to keep a lizard, which really puzzled them. However, the three of them did not spend more time on this. Together with Albert Went to class.
If Albert doesn’t go, they basically won’t go either. The three of them don’t have as good a relationship with Hagrid as Albert does.
However, Harry is different from them. He has an excellent relationship with Hagrid. After receiving Hagrid's note, he even wanted to skip school and watch the dragon hatch.
The two were severely stopped by Hermione on the grounds that they should not cause trouble to Hagrid.
They had no idea that their voices had been overheard by Malfoy who was passing by.
If Draco Malfoy still remembers Albert's prophecy, he may not get involved in this matter. Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy has long forgotten the prophecy Albert gave him.
This unlucky guy was led into a pit by Harry Potter.
Harry, Ron and Hermione dropped their shovels after the Herbology get out of class and hurried towards Hagrid's hut.
Hagrid actually stood outside the door to greet them, looking very excited.
“There are cracks on the dragon egg, and it’s about to come out.” He welcomed the three people into the house.
"Albert isn't here?" When Hermione entered the room, she didn't see Albert and was very surprised. She knew that Albert should have a way to come over no matter how busy he was.
"He's not coming." Hagrid stared at the cracks on the dragon egg and said absently, "It seems that he has other things to be busy with."
"That's a pity. Most wizards will never see a dragon hatch out of its shell a few times in their lifetime." Ron stared at the dragon egg and said excitedly, "I heard a sound."
The dragon egg in front of me is making a funny clicking sound.
Perhaps, the little dragon in the dragon shell is struggling and preparing to break out of the egg.
They became more and more nervous and focused, completely unaware that Malfoy, who had followed them just now, was carefully walking around the hut, lying next to the window, and peeking into the hut through the cracks in the curtains.
Suddenly, a harsh scratching sound came from the dragon egg.
The egg cracked.
The little dragon swayed and fluttered out of the eggshell. It turned around and looked around, not afraid. It even sneezed, and a few sparks came out of its nose, setting Hagrid's beard on fire. Then, he bit Hagrid's finger, which was about to touch his head. He grinned and revealed his long, pointed teeth, showing his true nature as a predator.
"what happened?"
“Someone just peeked through the crack in the curtain!”
Hagrid heard the footsteps of escaping, and his face turned pale. He jumped up and ran towards the window.
Harry and Ron rushed to the door almost immediately, hurriedly opened the wooden door and looked out.
Even if the distance is a bit far, even if only the bones are left, Harry will never admit that the person lying next to the window and peeking just now is Malfoy.
What's worse, he saw the little dragon.
At this moment, Harry, Ron and Hermione were very uneasy. They all realized that Malfoy was most likely coming with them.
Albert is right, their ability to keep secrets is indeed terrible.
Harry looked at Hagrid who was at a loss and felt very sad. He had gradually figured out the reason why Malfoy came with him. Apparently, Malfoy overheard their conversation when they were having dinner and talking about dragon eggs.
However, Harry did not dare to tell Hagrid about this.
"Sorry Hagrid, Malfoy may have overheard us and followed us." Hermione lowered her head in shame and apologized to Hagrid, "Albert is right, we can't keep a secret well."
Harry's face suddenly turned pale, and then turned red. He was very ashamed that he had just tried to evade responsibility.
Ron's face also looked a little unnatural. He remembered what he said a while ago: We will definitely keep this secret.
The results of it?
They leaked the secret!
Hagrid was also very regretful. He finally understood the meaning of what Albert had said. He didn't care at the time, but now it was too late.
“What should I do?” Hagrid was trembling all over as he thought about what might happen next.
“Write to Albert, he will definitely have an idea.” Hermione suggested.
“Yes, Albert will definitely find a way.” Hagrid was about to write a letter to Albert.
"Didn't he want Dumbledore to send the dragon away?" Ron muttered softly, and his words made Hagrid stop writing the letter happily.
"It's too small. It will die if we lose care of it." Hagrid's cheeks were suddenly wet with tears.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
"Don't worry Hagrid, we will definitely be able to find a solution." Hermione said.
"Are you crazy?"
When they left Hagrid's hut, Ron complained in a low voice: "That genius doesn't have any good ideas, what can you do? Even if Malfoy doesn't tell the truth, the dragon won't be able to hide it for a month. Everyone else in the school. And Malfoy could go to Dumbledore at any time."
"I'm not worried about that, but it might be worse if Snape knew Hagrid had a dragon. I don't know what he would do."
Harry is not worried about the principal. Since Albert thinks the principal is reliable, he should be somewhat reliable, but Snape is obviously not that easy to deal with.
"Perhaps, we should go talk to Albert." Harry wanted to make up for the mistake he had made.
