Luke took a sip of water, looked at Dumbledore who looked solemn across from him, and said a little embarrassedly: "You don't have to look at me with this expression. In fact..."
"The fire dragon is not important, and school rules are also insignificant to you, right?"
Dumbledore's face didn't look good, and he looked at Luke. It seems that he has finally put on the dignified look that a principal should have.
Hagrid, who was standing not far in front of him, lowered his head with a look of guilt on his face.
Looking at the silent Hagrid, Dumbledore didn't look good.
"It's not unexpected that you would do something like this, Hagrid, but you shouldn't involve these students."
"Yes, I know what I did was wrong, Professor Dumbledore."
Hagrid said to Dumbledore apologetically.
In this matter, he indeed felt very sorry for Dumbledore.
"The people you should really apologize to are the injured Luke and Miss Barbara who was almost bitten to death by the dragon."
Dumbledore looked at Hagrid helplessly. Is there really something wrong with this guy's brain?
"Anyway, professor, I'm very sorry. I will take responsibility for this matter."
Hagrid looked determined, as if he was ready to die.
Dumbledore was not surprised at all by his reaction.
Neither did Luke.
For someone like Hagrid, if you expect him to come up with some ingenious way to deal with his tail, forget it.
Fortunately, Malfoy was not involved yesterday, otherwise if Malfoy was injured, Hagrid would have decided to go to Azkaban.
Of course, Hagrid himself was afraid of going to Azkaban. But when the person who came to him today was the cold-faced Professor McGonagall instead of an official from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic, he knew that there was still some room for change in today's matter. He can be quite slow sometimes, but that doesn't mean he's a fool.
Dumbledore looked at Hagrid in front of him and knew what he was thinking without even using his brain. And he dared to determine it without even guessing, and Luke definitely knew that bit about Hagrid.
Luke looked at Hagrid in front of him. He knew very well that Hagrid actually didn't care at all. After all, although the injured people were Taylor and Luke, in terms of close relationship, the two of them together were not as valuable as Harry.
After all, there is a limit to what a person can give. If you give more here, you will naturally give less there. Since it was more expensive over there, it was natural to make a judgment before spending any thought on it.
Hagrid turned his head, bowed deeply to Luke and said, "I'm sorry, Luke, this is my problem. I shouldn't just believe in a formula that came into my hands out of nowhere."
"I should have thought earlier that this might be a trap."
"I should carry out this matter myself instead of leaving it to you."
In fact, there are corresponding reasons for all of this.
Did that formula come into his hands out of nowhere? Not really, it was a quite famous ancient book that he borrowed from the library, and the recipe was written on paper that looked almost as old as the book. And the reputation of drunken ambergris is not small among fire dragon enthusiasts. It’s just that very few people know the recipe. This origin is not surprising.

In such a situation, and with such a tight time limit, not to mention Hagrid, even Luke did not think that the problem would be with the potion at the first time. It even underestimated the power of a fire dragon when it happened.
Hagrid is still responsible for patrolling the Forbidden Forest, and this matter cannot be let go after all. And it was impossible for him to let a group of children do the obviously more dangerous job of patrolling the Forbidden Forest on his behalf. Even if he didn't patrol the forest at night, the probability of the students being attacked by the snake-faced man was not low in their minds.
These are all valid reasons, and they even make sense to some extent. But no one will care.
What everyone cares about is only the fact that it has happened. The reason behind this is very important, but that is after making the other party pay the price.
"Hagrid, should I forgive you now? After all, you apologized and our relationship is considered to be good friends."
Luke had a gentle smile on his face.
But when he said these words, Dumbledore and Hagrid's expressions changed.
Luke didn't look at the expressions of the two people, and still said to himself: "I have to admit that I have a share in the plan of this matter. When something like this happens, it seems that it can be regarded as my question."
Luke never denied his problems. This time, there was a reason for his negligence.
but……
"My biggest oversight was trusting you too much, Hagrid..."
Luke's voice was unusually calm. It was even so calm that it gave people a cold feeling.
Hagrid's face turned red at first, and then turned pale again.
Dumbledore looked at Luke in front of him with a look as if he had discovered something new, but his look soon subsided. After all, it makes no sense to think so.
That's how Luke was supposed to be.
Even if you are not aggressive, you should not remain a good gentleman in this kind of matter.
It's like a gentle-looking snake. Although it usually looks lazy, it seems to be obedient in some things. If you want it to coil up, it will coil up. Of course, you are always on the lookout for him to suddenly reveal his two fangs and then give you a hard bite.
But... this does not mean that the snake will only prepare to kill you in the dark, and will not wag its tail to remind you, or roar to warn you.
"Stop messing with me."
In short, this is what Luke wanted to express. Of course, this was not meant for Hagrid. But to Dumbledore.
Luke's eyes swept over Dumbledore's body indifferently.
This time, Dumbledore may not have been behind the incident. After Harry got involved in this plan, Dumbledore naturally wanted to find any opportunity to train his 'savior'.
Let the fire dragon go crazy in the castle. You know, Dumbledore can teleport within the confines of the castle.
But he didn't.
Luke admits that Dumbledore is neither omniscient nor omnipotent. In other words, he cannot cover everything. But this doesn't mean that Luke won't involve Dumbledore in this matter.

Dumbledore looked at Luke with a ferocious expression on his face, but a slight smile appeared on his face.
This is expressing anger... So who is the object of the anger itself?
Luke himself, of course.
He was angry because he was negligent, because he was gullible, because he was too weak.
Both Hagrid and Dumbledore had an outlet to vent their anger. Of course, this assumes that they are really at fault.
They are indeed at fault.
One is too crazy about playing the development game. One is too obsessed with the breeding business.
Of course, in their eyes, especially in Dumbledore's eyes, Luke was not a normal child.
"Luke..."
Dumbledore interrupted Luke who was about to continue scolding, and then said seriously: "You know Hagrid, he didn't mean it."
Luke took out his wand, and green light surged from the tip.
"I didn't mean it, Professor."
Luke looked at the waiter with a calm expression, but everyone could see the madness in his eyes.
It was also at this moment that Dumbledore suddenly thought that the child in front of him was still just a child, even if he was very mature and smart, and could compete with him in some things. But at the same time, the nature of a child, the nature of never compromising in the face of the bottom line, is still reflected in him.
The bottom line... is that after retreating step by step, it gradually approaches nothing.
Hagrid looked at Luke. At this moment, he finally realized what his actions meant. It means that you can make a friend who has a good relationship with you turn against him, and even want to kill him if he becomes desperate.
This was undoubtedly a huge shock to Hagrid.
Of course he knew that if Dumbledore was here, he would not really die, but looking at Luke's face, he finally began to reflect on whether he should really control himself...
"Okay!" Dumbledore shouted.
Hagrid shivered in fright, his eyes showing disbelief.
Luke's expression remained unchanged, but the green light in his hand gradually extinguished.
He looked at Dumbledore and saw sternness on his face, real sternness, instead of the seemingly indifferent look in his eyes when he scolded Hagrid before.
"Hagrid will pay for his mistakes, I guarantee that. But as you said, you are at fault in this matter. If you report it to the Ministry of Magic, each of you will have to pay for it." mold!"
Dumbledore looks like a calm old lion.
"And I, the principal who can't control my students and teachers, will also be labeled as incompetent."
"You're a very, very smart kid and you know what school would be like if this happened and there wasn't another me."
Dumbledore seemed to really care about this matter now.
Everyone knows what the school will look like without Dumbledore in an instant.
When Umbridge was the headmistress, everyone knew what the students were going through.

Luke said nothing, just stared at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was helplessly stared at by him, so he could only say: "We can only talk about the rest when we find an opportunity. Now, you go back first, I have something to tell Hagrid."
A smile finally appeared on Luke's face: "Then I won't disturb you, Professor."
Luke turned around and left, ignoring Hagrid who stretched out his hand towards him. Obviously, he seemed to have let Hagrid go, but his anger towards Hagrid still hadn't disappeared.
Of course, this anger may be real, but it may not be exaggerated. Hagrid is a very important person to Dumbledore, not only for so many years of friendship, but also for Harry, he is a very important support.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
And Hagrid is devoted to Harry. He is truly both a father and a friend. Before Sirius came along, this was the best person in the world who treated Harry the best.
And Harry is very important to Dumbledore. Harry is far more important to Dumbledore than Harry is to Luke. Luke actually didn't care if Harry could stand on his side in the end. Even as an opponent, Harry was valuable enough.
This is why, when Voldemort deals with Harry, he must do it in public as much as possible, because the Harry who dies in front of everyone is the good Harry.
In this way, they can show their powerlessness and power and scare some people who are willing to sit on the wall.
Of course, it would be better to have Harry under his command, but when you think about it, you know that there are some things that you can only settle for the next best thing.
"Dumbledore, I really..."
Seeing Luke leave, Hagrid felt extremely panicked. He felt that he might really lose a friend because of his stupidity. What a terrible thing this is for him who has few friends!
Dumbledore shook his head and said: "This is your own business, Hagrid. I can't tell you anything about Luke anymore. It's the best thing if he doesn't pursue it now."
At this point, Dumbledore sighed as if tired or disappointed, and then said: "You can leave first. Your punishment is not to use magic to clean the public toilets in the school for the rest of the semester. .”
Hagrid wanted to say something more, but looking at Dumbledore's tired expression, he didn't say anything after all. He just felt a little lost.
…
Taylor looked at Luke, his hanging heart finally relieved.
"I thought you were going to have a falling out with Dumbledore."
"That's too unwise. I won't do such a business."
Luke responded with a smile.
Taylor looked a little hesitant, and then asked: "So, about Hagrid..."
Luke's expression was cold: "I admit that I am also responsible for this incident, but this does not mean that Hagrid has no problems. On the contrary, this incident started when he inexplicably pressed the dragon egg on his hand. It was already quite excessive to begin with.”
What Luke said was not nonsense. If Hagrid could have given up Norbert when he was born, then they would not have had to be in the same dilemma as last night.

[Hogwarts: Pureblood Glory] []
In the final analysis, Hagrid's greed was the cause of this incident.
Luke shook his head and said, "But don't worry. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Hagrid's always reckless character... you never know when it will harm yourself."
In the original work, there is indeed no such thing. But this does not mean that Hagrid can still be safe in the parallel world. With such a lesson, I hope this guy can think twice before doing things.
At the very least, you have to make sure that you don't involve others in your affairs.
