Chapter 44: Let's raise the dragon
However, Snape was obviously a smart and suspicious person. He told him straightforwardly that it might attract suspicion, so Ivan had to make a roundabout.
Guided by him, let Harry and others guess it in another way, and finally pass it to Snape's ears to let him think about the correct way to deal with smart people.
Actually, Ivan didn't expect things to go so smoothly. At first he thought that Snape's potion storage room must be full of institutions, who would have thought that there was nothing at all.
Think about the second-year Hermione in the original book, who could steal the potion material for the compound decoction from Snape. Ivan knew it in his mind, but Ivan still used it afterwards to get rid of the odor. Snape's deodorant would not be sniffed out by Snape.
Ivan was thinking about it when Hermione suddenly grabbed Ivan's wrist and walked out.
"Hermione, where are you going?" Harry wondered.
Hermione turned her head back and forth. "Of course I went to Hagrid. Whether someone stole Snape’s potion, or Snape directed and acted himself, the easiest way to pass the three-headed dog Norway is to use the compound decoction to become Hagrid. People you know ask Hagrid directly!"
"So we only need to ask Hagrid if anyone has asked him this way recently, and we can have clues for the next step." Harry said excitedly.
"Smart!" Hermione nodded.
Ivan didn't have any comments either. It's okay to see Hagrid now, I don't know if he has got the dragon egg.
The group of three quickly arrived in Hagrid’s cabin. The difference was that smoke was billowing from the chimney above the fireplace. Hermione led the group and knocked on Hagrid’s door as soon as they entered. I felt a wave of heat rushing over my face.
Harry and Ron frowned uncomfortably, because it was too hot inside. Even if it is winter, it needs to be grilled, right?
Only a minute after they came in, fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Ivan was overjoyed and his eyes turned to the burning stove that was leaning against the wall.
To be precise, looking at the big dark egg in the middle of the fire...
"Come on... let's have something to eat! Don't be polite." Hagrid enthusiastically brought a large bowl of rock cakes and some jerky on the table, but just sat down, and the position happened to be. In front of the fireplace, the huge body directly blocked Ivan's vision.
Hermione and Harry also noticed something was wrong with Hagrid. Their expressions and movements were a bit cramped compared to normal times. They would rather wipe sweat in a hot room than open the window.
"Hagrid, what did you do to make the room so hot?" Ron complained dissatisfied.
"Nothing.. The weather recently is too cold." Haigecan explained with a smile, and then quickly pushed the rock cake and jerky on the table to the side of a few people. "Should you still have classes in the afternoon? Go home as soon as you're done."
This made Hermione more and more suspicious, but now there are obviously more important things. Thinking of her purpose here, Hermione asked anxiously.
"Hagrid, we are here to ask you something. Snape's potion storage room was stolen. We suspect that the thief probably made a compound decoction to approach you and pretended to be someone you know. The Norwegian method...so has anyone I don’t know recently wants you to inquire about Norway’s intelligence?"
Hearing this news, Hagrid was also a little surprised, but he quickly recovered and muttered in a low voice.
"But who else but you, no one has asked like that."
Hagrid said this with a stern expression, and glanced at a few people with suspicion. Hermione’s words just reminded him. Now Hagrid doubts if they are fake, or why he is so interested in Norwegian affairs .
Suddenly, Hagrid looked around, and realized that there seemed to be one missing person...
"Huh? Where's Ivan?" Hagrid asked strangely.
Harry and the others were originally angry at Hagrid's suspicion of them, but at this time they also noticed that Ivan, who was sitting behind him, was gone.
was surprised when I heard Ivan's voice coming from behind Hagrid.
"Is this the dragon egg? It doesn't look so pretty."
Hagrid slammed suddenly, stood up abruptly, turned his head and looked behind him. Hermione and the others were able to see Ivan standing next to the boiler through the gap in Hagrid's huge body, and the **** egg in the middle of the boiler, the size of their head.
"That's the dragon egg! Hagrid, where did you get this stuff? It must have cost you a lot of money?" Ron recognized it at a glance, and he squeezed to Ivan's side with excitement, and Harry joined in too. Go up and watch this rare dragon egg.
Only Hermione noticed the various books on the table, such as "Raising Fire Dragons for Recreation and Profit", "Twelve Precautions for Dragon Raising", "From Zero to the Master of Dragon Raising" and so on~www. mtlnovel.com~ Hagrid covered his face with his thickly callused hands, knowing he couldn't keep it from now.
"Hagrid, privately keeping dragons in captivity is illegal. If someone finds out, you will have to be imprisoned in Azkaban." Although Hermione was also interested in dragon eggs, she had to remind her aloud. .
"Don't worry, you won't be discovered." Hagrid said, patting his chest, "I've long wanted to raise a dragon, and I know how to take care of them, so there will be no mistakes."
However, Hermione was worried about this. After all, a dragon was too big and grew too fast. It would not take a month for Hagrid's cabin to burst.
Hermione turned around anxiously and planned to persuade Hagrid with Ivan, but unexpectedly heard Ivan say excitedly before she spoke.
"After it is hatched, can I take care of it with you? Hagrid? I think this should be a Norwegian Ridgeback."
Hagrid was also a little surprised that Ivan was able to distinguish the type of dragon when he saw the dragon egg. You must know that even after consulting various books, he knew that this was a Norwegian Ridgeback.
This means that Ivan has a high knowledge of dragons...
"Of course, as long as the class is not delayed, but I have to remind you that this may be a little difficult." Hagrid nodded and agreed. Ivan's eager attitude made Hagrid find a friend. feel.
Ivan had already known Hagrid’s plan to raise a dragon, so he also read a lot of related books in advance, and had a certain understanding of breeding knowledge. The two immediately started discussing it like no one, but instead brought Harry and Ron. , Hermione and the three put them aside...
