v2 Chapter 98： Hagrid's Dragon Egg

Intelligence is undoubtedly a very important thing.

Without information, no matter how strong you are, you are only blind.

Many times, when two sides with equal strength, one side suddenly fails miserably, it is because of poor information.

Dumbledore has a group of excellent intelligence officers, and even the headmasters of Hogwarts are his little birds.

These principals are in high positions and have picture frames on many important occasions. They can move freely, detect a lot of important information, and then quietly feed back to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore then sifts out useful intelligence and sorts it out.

Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror's office, just wanted to get Dumbledore's intelligence and know who was behind Quirrell, but no one paid him any attention.

Does William need information?

Of course it is needed.

In the simplest case, Umbridge must have a grudge against him.

There are too many ways to deal with himself, and William can think of many casually.

For example: Little wizards can't perform magic outside the school, this matter can be big or small.

If she is smart enough, she can make a fuss about this kind of thing, forcing William to perform magic outside the school, and plan to expel him.

With Dumbledore around, he certainly wouldn't be fired, but he was definitely disgusting enough.

If William had information, he could have insight into Umbridge's every move in advance, and he could even seize her handle and turn her back on him.

Such as the possible power-color relationship between Fudge and Umbridge.

As long as there is evidence for such a scandal, even removing Fudge, the Minister of Magic, would be an easy task.

At present, William only has Bertha's one eye in the Ministry of Magic, which is undoubtedly not enough.

William set his eyes on Tonks.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing William staring at him, Tonks looked puzzled.

William knew about Dumbledore. A witch like Tonks who had just graduated could not be his golden spy.

Tonks said that while working for Dumbledore, she was definitely putting money on her face. At best, she was the kind of person who passed the phone, and the rest of the time she spontaneously became a sailor.

But William knew that Tonks could be trusted, and she would be an Auror.

William rubbed his hands together and said sweetly, "Sister Tonks, when you are working for Dumbledore in the future, can you tell me in advance the information you have obtained?"

Tonks squinted and said disdainfully, "Why, you want me to be a spy for you?"

"Why is it so ugly, I also want to graduate to be an Auror, first understand the market of this profession, isn't it, sister!"

After the emotional card was over, William hurriedly threw out his trump card.

"I'll give you one Galleon every month!"

"It's not about money."

Tonks actually wanted to say, "Where did you send the beggars?"

"Five Galleons."

"I'm an Auror!" Tonks was furious: "William, please don't insult my profession, or I'll send you to Azkaban!"

"Fifteen Galleons, free use of the latest products from the Akali Mystery Store."

William quickly added another sentence.

"It's fine if you don't do it. Some people do it anyway. I remember that Prefect Robert has also entered the Ministry of Magic. Based on my relationship with him, the price should be very low."

"Go!" Tonks changed his face at the speed of light, put his arms around William's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Why don't you do it, anyway, I'm just a trainee Auror, not a full-time employee.

Let’s talk about it first, when I change the position, the price will have to be raised…”

William sighed.

Dumbledore was still comfortable, and people who didn't give him the money would cry and shout to be a spy for him for free.

William worked so hard for so long that he managed to develop two dark lines.

When can I inherit Dumbledore's power?

After Tonks stole fifteen Galleons from William, he happily said, "By the way, on the first day of work, my sister will give you some information."

"What information?"

"The woman Rita Kist is eyeing you. She has applied to interview you as a team reporter several times, but Scrimgeour has refused."

"Is it Rita?" William frowned. "Isn't she arguing with Old Man Newt in the newspaper?"

"Mr. Scamander is long gone!" Tonks said with a smile: "No one cares if he has an affair with the former president of the former US Congress. Many people think that he is rubbing off on Rita's popularity."

"..."

Tonks gloated and said: "The woman found out that she didn't make money, and became interested in you. She said something, and she wants to have an in-depth chat with you about life!"

William raised his eyebrows, but he was thinking of another thing: it would be great if he could develop Rita into his own gold medal spy.

But this kind of thing is not easy!

……

……

With the conclusion of the Ministry of Magic investigation, the Daily Prophet soon revealed the entire incident.

This incident caused a great stir.

At this time, the influence is manifested.

The major newspapers reported: "Dumbledore captures the dark wizard who attacked Gringotts"

If the title becomes: "Shock! Hogwarts Professor Arrested Again", it would be completely different.

It is obviously the same thing, but the effect of public opinion is very different.

The former will praise Dumbledore; the latter will wonder... Is Hogwarts safe?

However, such little things are only the icing on the cake for Dumbledore's reputation.

However, William's reputation skyrocketed.

William was an eyewitness to the Gringotts case, and he was the one who identified Quirrell.

According to the Auror's office, the child resisted the dark wizard and saved Gringotts from looting.

Quirrell went from a sudden death model worker to a robber overnight.

The wind direction changed so fast.

But Quirrell was a ghost. He floated around all day and didn't speak. No one could meet him. He just spit when they met.

After a while, no one paid any attention to him.

The most unfortunate is the little wizards at Hogwarts, they have another semester without the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

It is said that Snape offered to let him take him for a semester, but Dumbledore refused.

As time passed, the impact of the Quirrell incident gradually subsided, but Hagrid's possession of the dragon egg finally came to light.

It may be inaccurate to use the word "unexpected incident", but he took the initiative to find William and the others, crying that he was deceived!

In Hagrid's cabin, the fire of the fireplace was burning hot.

"I was chatting with Shae about unicorns...she was very interested.

I said that I would give her a unicorn wool underwear... She was very happy and said she could show me..."

"Wait, Hagrid." William interrupted, "Who is Shae?"

"What you've seen is the girl who often drinks sherry at the Leaky Cauldron."

William recalled a little. In his memory, the people who often drink at the Leaky Cauldron are a few old women...

Hagrid called them girls?

"I was about to leave with Shae...well, during Christmas, we were going to have some fun.

But I ran into Shae's friend...a guy with a hood who wanted us to drink and play cards.

You know... I've never won a game of cards, but I was very lucky that day, winning ten games in a row. "

"Xue Yi's friend finally ran out of money, so he gave me the dragon egg."

Hagrid pointed to a dragon egg on the bed.

"But, how do you know that this dragon egg was given to you by Quirrell?" Qiu, who was sitting beside the fire, wondered.

Hagrid said uneasy, "Who would carry a dragon egg with them?

This is illegal!

I was very strange at the time I lied to myself that he just wanted to get rid of the dragon egg..."

Hagrid bowed his head.

"But he's not necessarily Quirrell."

"I remember when I was drunk, he asked me about the three-headed dog, and I told him that only when I sang would Lou Wei sleep... In the end, he invited me to sing..."

Hagrid had a look of horror on his face.

"Since Quirrell died, the more I think about it, the more it feels wrong! I leaked the secret that Dumbledore told me..."

William was tempted to say that Dumbledore didn't expect Hagrid to keep it a secret in the first place.

He comforted: "Hagrid, it doesn't matter, Quirrell is a dark wizard, he is dead."

"Then what about this fire dragon egg?" Hagrid worried: "If it is discovered, I may be regarded as Quirrell's companion, and then taken to Azkaban."

If there was anything Hagrid was afraid of, it was probably Azkaban.

"We can send the dragon eggs away." Qiu suggested.

"Yes, for Charlie." Cedric nodded, "Didn't he raise dragons in Romania?"

"Give it to Newt," William said, "judging from the egg pattern, this is a Norwegian Ridgeback and must be sent to Norway.

Charlie is in Romania, which is not suitable for this dragon. "

Hagrid was a little reluctant, and finally nodded.

Fortunately, he hasn't hatched the dragon yet with fire, otherwise things would be a lot of trouble.
