Chapter 56： Hagrid's Dragon

Under Hermione's questioning, Harry and the others also told the truth about the news they got.

"Dumbledore hid a Philosopher's Stone on the fourth floor of Hogwarts?!" Hermione was a little surprised. She didn't expect the legendary achievement of alchemy to be hidden in this castle. Thinking of this, she was a little excited .

Harry shared his concerns with Hermione again.

"Professor Snape? You think too much, I know he's bad, but he won't steal from Dumbledore." Hermione shook her head, she still thought Snape was innocent," he said Maybe it's a smoke bomb deliberately thrown by the mastermind behind the scenes, and I want others to focus on Professor Snape, so I can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

Ron gave Harry a wink, indicating that this person really couldn't communicate.

He waved at Hermione impatiently: "Miss Knowles, you always think of your teachers as saints, but you haven't taken a Potions class with Gryffindor, you don't know Snape's true face, you Never saw the way he looked at Harry - trust me, Snape can do anything."

He said to Harry and Neville carelessly: "Let's go back, it seems that there is no need to talk to them any more, they don't even know who is playing the Philosopher's Stone!"

Then he pulled Harry and Neville out of the library. Harry couldn't resist him, so he left Tom and Tom with an apologetic smile.

Hermione was inflated by Ron's anger. As soon as they walked away, they immediately complained to Tom like a barrage of cannons: "Are these people abnormal? They actually suspect that a professor is going to steal Dumbledore's things! Their evidence is simply untenable! Moreover, Why can't I see someone in the school trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone?"

Apparently, Hermione was annoyed by the nickname of the know-it-all. But when she was angry, she and Tom carefully analyzed the known information, and finally reached a consensus: someone wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone; there was no evidence that the thief was a professor in the school; the person who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone and the troll incident The mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be the same person.

However, when Snape was mad in Potions class and made countless excuses to deduct nearly 20 points from Ravenclaw, Hermione couldn't bear it anymore for Snape.

As soon as she walked out of the potions classroom, she complained: "Just looking at his usual behavior, it's no wonder he was regarded as a big villain by Harry and the others—"

Tom suddenly tugged at the sleeve of Hermione's robe, she looked at Tom, and her expression froze: Snape was standing behind them, staring at them both condescendingly.

"If you've finished chewing your tongues, get out of the way." Obviously, although it didn't say who it was in the sentence just now, Snape also guessed it.

Hermione was in a bad mood. She was scared to death. She looked at Snape's empty, dead eyes and felt her brain freeze. She was usually sharp-toothed and couldn't say a word now. But a miracle happened, Snape just told them to get out of the way, and then walked away in stride, without even deducting points.

Hermione wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and pulled Tom to the ground. But Tom soon realized that this was not the way to the auditorium.

"Hermione, where are you going?"

"Go to Hagrid's. Hagrid has had the book for three days. He should have moved. Now is the right time to go." Thinking about how to incubate it. However, this kind of thing will definitely not be easily shown to outsiders, and only when he takes it out and hatches can he "get all the money". Hermione thought that now that Hagrid had the information, he couldn't help it, and now was the best time.

"You don't want to report him, do you?" Tom was a little suspicious. He was worried that Hermione would get stubborn and report Hagrid - raising dragons is illegal. He felt that doing such a thing was very in line with Hermione's character.

Hermione's eyes widened, and she said quickly, "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

She looked left and right and found that no one cared what they were saying, "I'm just curious about fire dragons, think about it, now I can observe dragon eggs up close, and in a few days I can see the little fire dragon break its shell with my own eyes, saying Maybe Hagrid will let us raise it together! How many times in a lifetime do people get that chance?"

Tom was also very moved by what he said, and he had a deeper purpose: the fire dragon should be an extremely rare material for transformation, and Hagrid here is the best chance. You know, wild dragons are unlikely to give Tom a chance to touch it. If you want to touch a fire dragon, you must be very familiar with it or become very familiar with it.

So the two came to Hagrid's hut. All the curtains in the hut were drawn tightly, and wisps of blue smoke rose from the chimney. Hermione knocked on the door for a long time. Hagrid confirmed the identity of the people who came before letting them in. They entered the door with their front feet, and Hagrid closed the door with their back feet.

As soon as they entered the room, a heat wave hit their faces, and thin beads of sweat ooze out of Tom and Hermione's faces. The source of the heat is the fireplace. Spring has come, but the fireplace is still burning vigorously.

Hermione and Tom's eyes all at once turned to Hagrid's fireplace. In the center of the fire, under a large kettle, lay a large black egg.

Hagrid brought a pot of stewed meat and a pot of noodles, and greeted them warmly: "Come and try! Fresh beef brisket!" But Tom and Hermione were unmovedthey Staring straight at the big egg.

Hai Ji twisted his beard anxiously: "Ah, that's..."

"I didn't expect to be able to observe a dragon egg up close in my lifetime!" The excitement in Tom's tone could not be concealed.

Hagrid also noticed this, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hermione walked directly to the fire to take a closer look at the dragon egg. "Hagrid, where did you get it? It must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

Speaking of this, Hagrid got excited, "No money! I won it by playing poker with a guy! If I tell you, that guy would be eager to get rid of it!"

"Is this a Norwegian Ridgeback egg?" Tom asked.

"That's right! Good eyesight!" Hagrid excitedly pulled out "Raising Dragons for Recreation and Profit" from under his pillow. He quickly turned to the chapter "Dragon Egg Identification" and carefully analyzed eggs with Tom and the others. The details above prove that this is the egg of a rare Norwegian Ridgeback.

"So you should know how to take care of it? You should be ready now." Hermione reminded kindly.

"Of course, you see, it's written here, after it hatches, feed it a bucket of brandy and chicken blood every half hour."

Hermione shook her head, "I mean, Hagrid, don't forget your house is made of wood..." But Hagrid didn't listen at all.

Hermione could only sigh, and finally negotiated with Hagrid to take care of the little dragon after it hatched.

Hagrid naturally agreed: the two people in front of them obviously knew fire dragons well, and more importantly, they didn't seem to reject fire dragons. People with similar interests want to raise dragons with him, of course he has no objection.
