Although he learned how to hatch eggs from Aini yesterday, Hagrid decided to borrow some books.
Having been a neighbor for half a year, Hagrid knew how busy Aini was throughout the day. It was better not to bother him with some simple basic things and just read a book by himself.
As Dumbledore's most trusted person, Hagrid was not only reliable but also always considerate of the friends around him.
Entering the library, Hagrid's eyes were dazed for a moment. I loved coming to this place after I enrolled in school. At that time, the administrator was not Mrs. Pince, but a simple and honest fat uncle who was very gentle to the students. Everyone affectionately called him Uncle Mori.
Both of them loved magical creatures, and Uncle Morrie often helped Hagrid choose books that recorded interesting creatures. Sometimes he would tell Hagrid about the magical creatures he had seen during his travels, as well as other interesting things. This place held too many beautiful memories for him.
Scenes from the past appeared in front of his eyes, a smile crept onto his face, hidden by the crawling beard, and the familiar and gentle voice of the past faintly sounded in his ears.
Hagrid's eyes were so bright that they seemed to be radiating like stars. Just when the little wizard who occasionally raised his head was about to be attracted by this pure smile, his shining eyes suddenly dimmed.
Holding back the tears that were about to come to his eyes, Hagrid walked to the second row of bookshelves on the right, where all the books about magical animals were placed. Uncle Morrie specially organized them for him, and they continued as a tradition after Mrs. Pince took over. .
Hagrid cursed the Death Eaters loudly in his heart. How could they kill such a good person like Uncle Morley? You must know that the students at Hogwarts at that time were more or less affected by Uncle Morley. Take care of it, after all, which little wizard has never been to the library.
But the young wizards he had taken care of killed his daughter's family in London after graduation. Uncle Morrie who went to rescue them was also killed, and the reason was simply that he had a Muggle son-in-law.
Walking to the bookshelf, all these interesting books were in their old places in his memory. Hagrid took out the book on raising dragons. He had only glanced through it briefly, but he could not remember the specific contents.
Mrs. Pince said hello, and Hagrid put the book into the inner pocket of his coat. He calculated the time and it was almost time to finish class. Hagrid walked towards the greenhouse. He still had something to do.
"Thank you, Hagrid. This is the best birthday gift I've ever received." Ron excitedly took the small bag from Hagrid's hand. Inside was a bunch of unicorn tail hair. Hagrid said he could take it. Getting a new wand with Mr. Ollivander was exactly what Ron had dreamed of.
But after the excitement subsided, Ron thought of the value of this thing. Diagon Alley clearly marked the price at 10 Galleons a piece...
"But this is too expensive, I can't take it." Ron struggled internally for a while and handed the bag back.
"Haha, good boy." Hagrid stretched out his hand, but did not take the bag, but rubbed Ron's head.
"Take it, I can't take back the birthday gift I gave you. Besides, this thing is not a rare thing to me. It was taken off by the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest. It didn't cost me a penny." .”
"Okay, kids. I have something else to do. Goodbye."
Watching Hagrid striding away, Harry grabbed Ron who was still trying to catch up.
"Take it. You must know that Hagrid is taking care of the entire Forbidden Forest. He doesn't lack this."
"Yes, it is rude to repeatedly refuse gifts from elders. Hagrid seems to be in a hurry. There is no second period this afternoon. We can see if we can help." Hermione also echoed Harry's advice. , they all knew how old Ron's wand was.
"Well, maybe you are right, I will keep this friendship in my heart."
The three of them laughed and hurried to the dormitory. After the herbal medicine class, they smelled like dragon dung. Even the curse could not be removed. They had to take a shower before going to the auditorium to eat.
After the afternoon class ended, the three of them hurried towards Hagrid's hut, and then saw the big man, nearly 12 feet tall, competing with a group of chicks less than two inches tall.
Hagrid was so troubled by these little ones that he saw the trio running over from a distance and quickly called them for help.
Several people hurriedly threw the chicken into the fence. Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and invited several people into the house to drink tea.
"Hagrid, if I remember correctly, it's spring now." Harry felt himself starting to sweat as soon as he entered the room. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and there was a crackling sound of fibers breaking from time to time.
Hagrid pretended not to hear, turned around, took out a cup, poured tea and handed it to the three of them.
"Thank you." Hermione and the boys thanked Hagrid, and then asked curiously: "I saw there are a lot of chickens in the fence. Why are there so many chicks in there?"
Hearing Hermione's question, Hagrid's face immediately turned red.
"Haha, Norbert is a great young man. He has a good appetite. What we have now is not enough. The broilers from Hogwarts are already processed when they are delivered. I don't feel comfortable buying ready-made ones. There are more and more unscrupulous merchants these days. The more you raise, the more you can feed yourself."
"Norbert?" the little witch quickly grasped the key point, "Is it your new pet?"
"Ah, haha, not really. By the way, what are you doing here?" Hagrid laughed, suddenly remembering that Ron was a big talker, and he didn't want to tell them about Norbert.
"'Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit'?" Harry walked over to the table, where several books were spread out, all related to dragons.
Ron's second brother liked fire dragons very much. When he was a child, he told him some relevant knowledge as a story. Looking at the abnormal confined space in the room, he walked towards the most inappropriate fireplace.
Harry and Hermione also looked over. There was a kettle of water boiling on the fireplace, and a large black egg was roasting under the kettle.
No longer dodging the three people's gaze, now that they have discovered it, it doesn't matter if they tell the truth, as long as they are told not to tell others, especially Ron.
"I told you this morning that I went to Hogsmeade for a drink yesterday. I met a stranger there. I won this in a card game, a Norwegian Spinosaurus egg."
"Wow, what good luck." People always look at problems with their own subjective intentions. After Hagrid sent a wave of surprises in the morning, Ron subconsciously cheered for Hagrid's luck, but he still felt that A reminder to Hagrid.
"But it is currently prohibited in the wizarding world to keep dragons privately. You have to be careful. If you are discovered, you may be sent to Azkaban. This Norwegian Ridgeback will also be executed."
These words startled Hagrid. He knew that raising dragons was illegal, but he was confident that under his supervision, Norbert would not cause any trouble.
Even if he was accidentally discovered and there were no serious consequences, it would not be difficult for Dumbledore to save him. The worst possible solution would be to take Norbert to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary and release him.
"It's not possible. Shouldn't it be released into a wild reserve?" Hagrid still didn't believe it. As for a little dragon that had never done any bad things, he should just kill it.
Before Ron could speak, there was a knock on the door behind him.
Hagrid stood in front of the door and took a look, then opened the door and let Aini in.
After Aini came in, he first cast an anti-disturbance spell on the house to prevent others from eavesdropping.
"You were so loud that I heard you from more than ten meters away. But what Ron said is true."
"Although every fire dragon is of great value, neither the Snowdonia Reserve nor the Hebrides will accept it because no one knows whether privately tamed fire dragons will be tampered with." Looking at the sea As if Ge wanted to defend himself, Aini patted his thigh.
"I know you don't know how to do anything, but what about others? There was such a case in Peru. The local Ministry of Magic seized a privately domesticated Venomtooth dragon and brought it into the reserve. But the riots that followed spread to More than two-thirds of the Peruvian fire dragons caused the death of twenty-three wizards. Since then, no Ministry of Magic has dared to do this. Privately tamed fire dragons will be slaughtered as soon as they are discovered."
Hearing this, Hagrid was extremely sad, which meant that he could only choose to hand over the dragon eggs, fearing that the eggs of unknown origin would suffer the same fate.
The three little ones also looked worriedly at Norbert, who had not yet broken out of his shell. The atmosphere was extremely depressing for a moment.
"Hahahaha, just kidding, Hagrid." At this moment, Aini's words changed and he asked in a relaxed tone: "Do you know what these rules and regulations in the wizarding world are used for?"
The first and third children seemed to have not yet changed from the atmosphere just now, and they all shook their heads numbly.
"The regulations of the Ministry of Magic are a screening standard, which is used to determine whose interests should be protected." Aini smiled softly at the little witch. The little girl valued rules the most, and hoped that her outlook would not be ruined soon.
"Those who have the ability to break these rules need to be protected. And those who can only abide by the rules will only be exploited and exploited."
"This is impossible!" Hermione puffed up her chest and glared at Ani. She had grown up in the Muggle world, and the law was the cornerstone of stability for her. She wrinkled her nose angrily, looking extremely cute.
"Ouch!" The little witch, who was still angry just now, took a step back while covering her forehead.
"Listen to me, Hermione." Hermione's mind went crazy, and Ani continued as if nothing had happened.
"This is normal. In fact, in terms of law, Muggles are much better than wizards. Muggle laws are more complete in formulating, and they have a strict process for this. I have to say that in this regard, Muggles are way ahead of wizards."
Ani sighed secretly, the base of wizards is really too small. The population of the UK is nearly 70 million, and there are only a few thousand wizards, which is less than one ten thousandth. The same is true for most other countries in the wizarding world.
At the same time, the top group of wizards mostly focus more on the exploration of magic, which also leaves few professionals in other fields.
Hermione's eyes flickered thoughtfully, Harry looked confused, and Ron was indifferent. He had lived in such an environment since he was a child and didn't think anything was wrong.
Hagrid was even more unresponsive. Ever since he was falsely accused of entering Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic's regulations were bullshit to him. He only followed them because he didn't want to cause trouble. Now he just hopes to find a way to raise Norbert. big.
Seeing the reactions of several people, especially Hermione, Aini couldn't help but sigh that she had learned a lot from a young age. Perhaps it was because she was good at thinking that the little witch achieved great success in the future.
Having raised his opinion of Hermione again in his mind, Ani continued to explain.
"In the wizarding world, writing laws is like a child's play. The promulgation of a law often only requires one or two people to compile it. The Minister of Magic may slap his head and come up with several more regulations."
"For example, your dad."
