"Dragon egg?!" Harley blurted out.
Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then smiled very happily, "Harry, do you know him?!"
Harley nodded: "It's really a dragon egg! I've only seen similar patterns in books before."
Ted was a little envious of Harry. The Potter + Black family's book collection was a huge treasure trove.
Thinking about the fact that the four 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 close friend, as happy as a kid weighing 300 to 400 pounds, beaming with joy.
"Yes, a dragon egg! It's guaranteed to be genuine! This is a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon egg, very precious~" There was joy and pride in his voice.
Maybe it's his nature, but he is particularly fond of, or obsessed with, those huge and ferocious beasts!
"It's not easy to hatch dragon eggs artificially. I have to turn it over every three hours and prepare a lot of related books!" He pointed to a pile of books on the table at one side.
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 Making a Prop"
"Raising Fire Dragons for Fun and Profit"
"From Fire Dragon Egg to Burned to Death"
"Guide to Raising a Fire Dragon"
Okay, it doesn't look very reliable.
Anyway, Ted didn't think it was a serious recipe to feed a baby dragon whiskey with chicken blood.
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 the origin cannot be explained clearly...
Everyone looked at the dragon egg placed in the charcoal fire of the stove, a little surprised.
Ron asked in a daze: "Hagrid, is it illegal to raise dragons?!"
At this sentence, Hagrid's face fell: "Uh~ It's not that, um, we are different..."
Hermione asked another question: "Does Dumbledore know?"
"Ah..." Hagrid opened his mouth and lost his voice completely.
Ted didn't think it was a big deal at first glance. Hagrid couldn't ask him and others to share his secrets and joys, but in the end, he and others were beaten up.
He waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about those things later. At least there's no need to think about it until the dragon grows too big to keep in the house."
He looked at Hagrid, who was visibly relieved.
Yes, that's true~
Hagrid is naive and optimistic in this regard. I will worry about tomorrow. Today I will hatch the eggs first~
Ted put the conversation away, and everyone stopped thinking about the illegality of raising dragons and began to admire the dragon eggs.
After all, they are all little wizards, and they don't care about laws or anything like that. Instead, there are living dragon eggs in front of you. This is really fun!
This is a dragon egg written in a book. Who has seen a real one before? This thing is something that even money can't buy in the market.
"Hey, by the way, Hagrid, where did your dragon egg come from?" Harley suddenly asked.
Not only is it illegal to raise dragons, but it is also illegal to buy and sell dragon eggs.
Especially the Norwegian Ridgeback dragon eggs, which were probably smuggled from the wizarding world of other countries.
"Hmm~" Hagrid scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I won it playing cards~"
He grinned, "That guy still wants to beat me? Haha, naive! Humph~"
"You won it playing cards?" Everyone didn't expect it to have such a legendary origin?
Hagrid told everyone with great interest how he met the smuggler who hid his head and tail at the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade Village, and how the other party was worried that he couldn't get rid of the dragon egg, and finally played cards with him. Drinking wine, discussing the topic of magical animals, and finally losing the dragon egg to myself...
"Haha, this guy was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it. I told him that Lu Wei, who has three heads, is docile in my hands. I just need to play some music for him and he will sleep honestly!"
Hermione keenly discovered the key, "Lu Wei with three heads?"
"It's that three-headed dog!" Harley suddenly thought of the three-headed dog that had left a deep impression on her - the big three-headed dog that sprayed saliva all over her body.
"Is that three-headed dog yours?" Ron asked.
He finally understood why Hagrid would take the risk of raising a dragon. After all, he already had a room-sized three-headed dog, so a dragon was nothing, right?
Jerry swallowed hard. When he saw it for the first time, he was really shocked by the three-headed dog that had its tail all over the floor. I'm just worried that this dog is nosy~
That three-headed dog is so fierce, its head is as big as a normal round table, and it can probably eat half a fan of ribs in one bite.
Although many of the little wizards opened the door on the third floor, no one dared to try to open the secret door guarded by the three-headed dog.
The whine of the three heads alone was louder than a tractor.
Not to mention the little wizards, not even Professor Quirrell and the crippled Voldemort were stumped?
So Harley and the others were naughty and thought about it for a week or two and then gave up.
If Hagrid hadn't mentioned it today, he would have completely forgotten about this dog.
At this time, Hagrid was obviously panicked, "No, I didn't raise Lu Wei. I didn't..."
When he saw everyone staring at him, he sighed again and gave up, "Okay, it's me! I bought Lu Wei from a Greek smuggler. He was less than a month old at the time and was older than My hands aren’t much bigger.”
"That smuggler obviously didn't know how to take care of it, and it almost died from being tortured. I can't just watch it die like this?!"
As he spoke, Hagrid glanced at Hermione, as if to prove Lu Wei's origin, and added: "Dumbledore knows Lu Wei. It was Dumbledore's idea to help guard the door... Oh!" "He covered his mouth suddenly, feeling that he had missed something.
No matter what Hagrid wanted to hide, Harry was extremely excited - the doubts she had been having for half a year were finally revealed.
She quickly urged: "What on earth is Dumbledore hiding that he needs a three-headed dog to guard?"
Hagrid leaned back as if there was some dangerous beast 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, God, don't force me. I can't, I promised not to say it." Hagrid was obviously tricked - from not admitting to not being able to say, it was equivalent to admitting.
Ted supported from the side: "But you have already mentioned the weakness of the three-headed Lu Wei."
"I didn't!" Hagrid still insisted.
"Didn't you tell the person who lost your dragon egg?"
"Ah..." Hagrid squeezed out a sound from his throat and was speechless again.
Hermione continued to hit the target: "Yes, let's play music, right?"
"No, don't..." Hagrid's voice was so full of pity that Neville couldn't bear to look at it and had to turn his face to the side.
Harley 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 and take a look."
"No! No! You can't! That's the secret between Dumbledore and Nico Flamel... Oh!" Hagrid covered his mouth again, and this time he really didn't speak.
No matter how Ted and Harley teased him, he covered his mouth and said nothing.
This trick works, after all, if you don't speak, you won't let anything slip.
But what's the use of this, after all, the key information has been revealed.
"Nicholas Flamel? I have a vague impression of this name. Where have I seen it?" Hermione frowned and thought hard.
It's just that Nicoléme was born hundreds of years ago after all, and books in the past hundred years 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 was very smart and looked at Ted: "Ted must know!"
I copied my homework and learned from my experience.
Ted shrugged: "Nicholas Flamel, one of the greatest alchemists, created the only magic stone so far, also called the Philosopher's Stone. It is one of the materials for making elixirs of life. It can Convert base metals into gold.”
"He and Dumbledore also studied twelve new uses of dragon's blood, which is recorded on Dumbledore's chocolate frog card."
"Ah!" Hermione suddenly realized, and then patted her thigh hard, "Why didn't I think of it?"
Ted touched his thigh, "Please pat your own leg next time!"
Ron swallowed and asked with some difficulty: "Can you turn stone into gold? Oh my God! Did Dumbledore hide this thing under the three-headed dog?!"
His mind is now filled with the Midas touch, and his CPU is overloaded.
Everyone was still discussing the Philosopher's Stone when they left, and they were very greedy.
Hagrid was already paralyzed, looking lifeless.
After all, Dumbledore's secret was revealed to the group of six by himself, and he failed to live up to Dumbledore's expectations.
Hagrid: Come on, come on. I'm tired……
It has to be said that Dumbledore chose the right person when he chose Hagrid to keep the secret.
This is so tight-lipped!
Professor Quirrell + Voldemort, as well as Neville and Harry, don’t they all know this one after another?
Ginger is still spicier~
Speaking of giving dragon eggs, this is really a good idea. I don’t know who came up with it, Quirrell or Voldemort. Kill two birds with one stone!
First, by extracting the three-headed dog's weakness from Hagrid's mouth, you can break through the first, most difficult hurdle.
Second, Hagrid was too busy hatching eggs and raising dragons as a gamekeeper to patrol the Forbidden Forest, making it easier for Quirrell to attack the unicorns.
Ted strengthened his belief: I will not step into the Forbidden Forest this whole year!
If he hits Voldemort, he will be dead!
As a result, the system sang the opposite tune:
"Ding~Trigger the task:
