Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 77 Raised but not tamed

"Dragon?" Hermione was extremely surprised and looked around: "Where is it?"

Harry pointed to the egg in the fire. There was no mistaking it. It was a dragon egg, and it was a Norwegian Ridgeback.

After that time two years ago, he probably would never forget the Norwegian Ridgeback.

"Oh my God, Hagrid, where did the dragon eggs come from? Are there dragons in our Forbidden Forest?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Oh, no... I got this while drinking last night. I played cards with a wizard, and he lost miserably, so he had to give him to me. To be honest, maybe the guy was in a hurry to get rid of him. "

"Eager to get rid of it?" Harry couldn't close his jaw and looked at Hagrid blankly.

"Hagrid, don't be ridiculous. Dragon eggs have a price but no market."

It was only last year in Norway that he saw with his own eyes a group of illegal goblins who lost their lives for dragon eggs. This is something that most people can't even want. How could anyone be in a hurry to get rid of it while it is still on the wine table.

Harry instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Hagrid, I don't think anyone would really put a valuable dragon egg on the wine table. What did you pay for it?" he said.

"You get what you pay for? We had a great time chatting," Hagrid said nonchalantly.

Harry put his hands on the table and moved closer to Hagrid.

"You must have drank a lot."

"Of course, what do you want to say? Harry, why is it so weird?"

"He didn't steal anything from you while you were drunk?" Harry asked.

"Harry, don't think about it. He's a good man and we talked a lot about magical beasts."

Seeing Hagrid's vow, Harry could only nod helplessly: "Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it. But I still think you should tell Dumbledore about this.

It's illegal to raise a dragon privately, and you don't want to lose your job. "

Hagrid nodded and said in a somewhat coping tone: "I know, I just... let me hatch him first and then talk about it. Otherwise, he might die, right."

Harry glanced at the book "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit" next to Hagrid, and could only nod and stop talking about it.

After chatting for a while, the two of them couldn't stand the stuffy heat of the hut, so they had no choice but to leave in advance.

Walking on the breezy lawn, after dispelling the heat from their bodies, they felt as if they had come back to life again.

"Hagrid really loves small animals." Hermione said: "His eyes were so tender when he looked at the egg that he almost shed water, and he even hummed a song."

Harry could only nod, but he still had to add: "That's not a small animal. A dragon can grow larger than his desk in a week, and its fire-breathing organs can mature in a month.

Only someone with a physique like Hagrid can treat these huge animals as little treasures——"

His words suddenly stopped, and in his mind, Snape's gloomy face and bloody thighs jumped into view.

A beast that even Snape found troublesome and injured, in the castle!

"What's wrong?"

"I...I'm not sure, but I think we need to go find Hagrid again." Harry grasped the problem immediately, and he knew why he always felt something was wrong.

Under Harry's leadership, the two quickly returned to Hagrid's hut, knocking on the door.

After a while, after the door opened, Harry asked straight to the point: "Hagrid, did you put some beast on the fourth floor? That's the 'plan' you said!"

Hearing this, Hagrid was shocked: "What, why are you still thinking about this? No, absolutely not."

Even Hermione could tell from Hagrid's expression that he was lying.

"Have you also talked to him? You just said that you had a great conversation and talked about many magical animals." Harry continued.

"who?"

"The guy who gave you the dragon egg, did he talk to you about the huge beast you put on the fourth floor?"

"That's not a beast..." Hagrid argued, while his mind couldn't help but start reviewing what happened last night.

"Yes, he and I have talked about Lu Wei, and he is also very interested..." Hagrid's voice became lower and lower.

"Who is Fluffy?" Hermione asked.

"Luwei is the big three-headed dog that I guarded the Philosopher's Stone for Dumbledore, no! Don't pry, it's confidential." Hagrid was already a little confused.

Hearing this, Harry couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Three-headed dog, no wonder Professor Snape's injury is like that."

As he spoke, he explained to Hermione: "That thing made Snape eat a lot."

A beast that even Snape could stop protected the Philosopher's Stone! Did the dark wizard want to find some tips from Hagrid on how to deal with Lu Wei? !

"Impossible!" After hearing Harry's guess, Hagrid said firmly: "Only Dumbledore and I know about Lu Wei's solution. I have never told anyone else."

Harry looked at him: "Drunk people don't know what they said."

His last words removed Hagrid's last hope of luck and immediately made his body soften.

"Hagrid, go tell Dumbledore. I'm just speculating, and telling Dumbledore is the best choice." Harry said:

"You don't want something to go wrong with the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore tried so hard to protect."

Hagrid's heart felt like it was being cut back and forth by a thousand knives. Harry's words spoke directly to the bottom of his heart.

His loyalty to Dumbledore meant that he would never allow anything to go wrong in this matter.

Well, although it’s already everywhere…

Hagrid's face had various expressions intertwined and twisted. After a while, he nodded dejectedly: "Harry, I think you are right."

With that said, Hagrid turned around, closed the door, and followed the two of them towards the castle...

A week later, something they didn't expect happened. Hedwig brought a note during breakfast. When they opened it, they found crooked words with obvious personal characteristics.

"It's almost hatching."

? ?

Harry's head almost didn't turn around. What did this mean... coming out of the shell? dragon? Dumbledore allowed it? !

After the herbal medicine class in the morning, the two of them came to the hut. Hagrid quickly opened the door, his face glowing red and he was extremely happy. He smiled and said: "It's such a pity that you guys came late, otherwise you would have definitely seen the moment when he broke out of his shell."

Harry didn't think it was anything. He had seen dragonets emerge from their shells, and there were four of them. However, Hermione had some regrets, but it was just a regret. She was determined not to skip class just to watch the dragon emerge from its shell.

"Dumbledore said I could raise it bigger first. It's too small and can't withstand the bumpy journey to the dragon farm."

"What about that incident on the fourth floor?" Harry was more concerned about this.

"Dumbledore already knows, he will handle it well, he is omnipotent." Hagrid said easily, obviously he was not in a good mood.

With that said, the two of them were led into the room by Hagrid, and they immediately saw a small dragon on his table.

It has spiny wings and a thin, black body. It also has a long, big nose with white nostrils, horns on its head, and orange-red eyes that protrude outward.

At this time, it was drinking the brandy mixed with chicken blood that Hagrid prepared for it. It had its whole head buried in it and looked very bloody.

"Oh...this is...a dragon." Hermione found it difficult to accept this. This little guy was really not good-looking. But looking at Hagrid, he obviously loves it.

Harry and Hermione could only hope that Hagrid could really take care of it.

However... this is obviously unrealistic.

A week later, when Harry saw the dragon bite Hagrid's hand with his own eyes, and Hagrid just chuckled, he knew that if he let the dragon go like this, it would sooner or later become the same as the "Dudley" it once was.

If you raise them without teaching them, you will harm others and yourself.

However, Harry knew where the secrets to dragon training were.
