Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 211 The box is still too small

After Hagrid left with Fang in his arms, Kyle turned to look at Harry and the three of them, and said with a smile: "So the egg is in the fireplace...how long do you want to hide it."

"Oh..." Ron complained in a low voice: "Hermione, didn't you say you had read that book before? Why didn't you know that dragon eggs would smell in the fire... Or did you read the wrong title?"

"Shut up, how is that possible? Do you think I am you?!" Hermione said angrily: "'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is a book required by the school. Of course I have read it, and more than once."

 “Then what…”

"Don't ask, I don't know!" Hermione scratched her hair and said, "I never remember it said that in the book, it only said how to hatch dragon eggs!"

While speaking, the three of them looked at Kyle at the same time.

Ron asked suspiciously: "You couldn't have made this up, right?"

 Compared to Kyle, he still believed in Hermione more. After all, Hermione had never made any mistakes in memorizing textbooks.

“What about Fang?” Kyle said, “It won’t cooperate with me.”

Harry thought for a moment and said, "Maybe...it just happens to be unwell."

 “Then it’s quite good at choosing the right time.”

Kyle picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said to Hermione: "I think you must have bought the book before school started."

"Yes, when I first went to Diagon Alley." Hermione frowned: "Is there any problem?"

Kyle spread his hands and said: "In fact, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has been revised many times. I guess someone from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore gave you the previous version."

As he spoke, he took out his book and handed it to Hermione.

 “You can see for yourself.”

After Hermione took it, she quickly turned to the page about fire dragons.

  Exactly what Kyle said, that's exactly what it said.

 Looking at the publication dates, there is a difference of more than fifty years between the two books.

"This is too much..." Hermione said angrily: "This is deception, how could they do this!"

“This is normal. Newt has revised it so many times. Only the cover has never changed. If you don’t open it and look at it, it’s hard to tell whether it is the latest version.”

“Plus there are so many people buying books before school starts, I guess the store clerk didn’t even notice that I took the wrong one.”

 Hermione remembered that when she went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, all the textbooks needed for Hogwarts were placed at the door, but the box containing "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was empty.

And the clerk was very busy at that time, so the book in her hand was dug out from the corner of the bookshelf by herself.

 “Oh, damn!”

 Hermione was even angrier, but this time with herself.

 She found that the content in Kyle's book was obviously much more detailed. If she had known it, she would have waited a little longer.

“If you care about it very much, you can take it to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to exchange it during the holiday. I think they will agree.” Kyle said with a smile.

Fifty years ago, Newt was at the peak of his creation. Sometimes the newly revised version would be overturned and rewritten every few days, so there were not many old books in stock at that time.

These books are of little use to ordinary people, but it is different for those bookstores. In order to show off their rich collection of books, they usually display a complete set of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

"No!"

Hermione returned the book to Kyle, "It won't cost much anyway, so I decided to buy another one when the time comes."

 After saying that, she sat back on the stool next to her.

 It was too hot in front of the fireplace. Since Kyle had discovered the dragon egg, there was no need to go back and suffer.

 Harry and Ron followed.

Without them blocking his view, Kyle could see the **** egg hidden under the kettle at a glance. “Norwegian Ridgeback?”

 “That’s right.” At this moment, Hagrid walked in.

 After closing the door, he said excitedly: "How is it? It's very rare, isn't it?"

Kyle nodded.

 The Norwegian Ridgeback is second only to the Hungarian Horntail and the Australian Opaleye in rarity, and is indeed rare.

 …

On the way to find the sorbus tree, Hagrid was still looking back at his hut.

“Go back and take care of the dragon egg quickly. I know the way, so you don’t need to go with me.”

Hagrid shook his head firmly, "No, I can't let you go to the Forbidden Forest alone!"

"Well, I'll try to pick it as quickly as possible." Kyle sighed with some disappointment.

 “But then again, how did you buy the dragon eggs?”

"I didn't buy it, I earned it," Hagrid said. "Sounds like I'm really lucky. A few days ago, a man who often drank with me came to me and said that there was a man in the village who was holding a dragon egg. Someone was playing cards and asked me if I was interested.”

“So you went to Hogsmeade?”

"I didn't want to go. You know, the Forbidden Forest has been uneasy recently, but that's a dragon egg..." Hagrid lowered his voice and said excitedly: "That person is so stupid, I just used a little trick to deceive him." he."

Kyle looked at the smug Hagrid, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing.

 Being fooled by Hagrid... This speaks volumes.

"But what are your plans after it hatches?" Kyle asked.

“Oh, I’ve been reading a book.” Hagrid turned to look at his hut again.

“After it hatches, just feed it a bucket of chicken blood brandy every half hour.”

"Then you have to be careful." Kyle said: "Norwegian Ridgebacks are not a quiet species. They are very aggressive like the Hungarian Horntail. It is impossible not to be discovered."

"Yeah...yeah, I'll be careful." Hagrid responded vaguely.

 When he thought that he would be able to raise a dragon soon, how could he care about anything else.

"In that case." Kyle patted Hagrid's arm and said meaningfully: "Then if you need any help in the future, just ask, don't be polite."

The fire dragon grows up very quickly, and it only takes a month to surpass the current Lu Wei.

Kyle decided to seize the time to expand the box more when he returned.

 …

 The two of them arrived near the lair of the Moon Chimera Beast. The pineapple trees here were the best growing in the vicinity.

Kyle walked over and looked carefully at the trunks of the sorbus trees, while Hagrid stood guarding absentmindedly.

His mind has always been on the dragon egg in the hut. At one moment he was worried about whether the flame in the fireplace would go out, and at another moment he was worried about whether Harry and the others would break the egg.

This made him look more and more nervous. He couldn't help but look back and wanted to go back immediately.

On the other side, Kyle walked around and quickly found two sorbet trees that were shorter in age and not so lush.

  This is the most suitable choice, it is much easier to transplant and easier to survive.
