Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

"A letter from Hagrid!" This morning, while having breakfast in the Great Hall, Harry received a letter from Hedwig.

Andre asked curiously: "What did he say? Did he invite us to drink tea?"

"No, he said that his dragon egg was about to hatch." Harry said in a low voice.

Ron became interested when he heard this, and said, "Then we must go and see. I haven't seen a fire dragon hatch yet."

"But it's illegal to keep fire dragons privately!" Hermione looked unhappy.

"What's the point? Andre can turn into a fire dragon." Ron was a little disapproving.

When talking about this matter, everyone shut their mouths.

Andre had already told them not to spread the news that he could transform into a fire dragon. Even Dumbledore had never asked how they defeated the basilisk, although he might have known about it, but he had not explored it.

As for the current rumors in the school, they were just that they defeated Quirrell and captured Peter Pettigrew. The whole rumors did not involve Voldemort and the Basilisk at all.

But even so, they are regarded as heroes of Gryffindor, and even many junior students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw express some admiration for them.

"Cough, cough." Andre cleared his throat. He couldn't fault Ron because he didn't yell loudly.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, Ron blushed for a rare moment, and then he immediately changed the subject and said, "Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I'm going to visit Hagrid this afternoon. Do you want to go?"

"I think we really need to go take a look, at least to help Hagrid avoid being discovered by others." Harry said.

Hermione nodded, agreeing with Harry's opinion.

Of course Andre didn't care, so after they finished their morning classes, they quickly finished their lunch and ran out of the castle to Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Coming out soon!" Hagrid greeted them at the door with excitement.

After entering the hut, Andrei saw the dragon egg placed on the table at first sight. There was a deep crack in the egg shell. It seemed that something was constantly moving inside, and there was a burst of sound. A series of clicking sounds.

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. They moved their chairs to the nearest place, held their breath, and paid close attention to this huge dragon egg.

Suddenly, with a harsh scratching sound, the eggshell shattered completely.

A small black fire dragon emerged from it. It didn't look pretty, just like a crumpled black umbrella.

Its spiny wings appear surprisingly large compared to its skinny body.

A long, large nose with white nostrils on the top makes it easy to distinguish it from other fire dragons.

The horn bumps on the head are completely different from the Hungarian Horntail that Andre transformed into. It doesn't have that kind of coldness, but it looks a little cute.

The little dragon suddenly sneezed, and a few sparks came out of its nose, proving to the people around the table that it was indeed a real fire dragon.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid murmured, reaching out a hand and touching the little dragon's head.

But this little guy didn't appreciate it at all. He bit Hagrid's finger in one bite, revealing his long fangs.

"Oh my God! Look, it knows its mother!" However, Hagrid didn't think there was anything wrong with this and he exclaimed excitedly.

"Hagrid," Hermione asked at this time: "How fast does the Norwegian Spinosaurus grow?"

She was obviously worried about Hagrid's wooden hut, which was not like a lair where a fire dragon could safely live.

But when Hagrid was about to answer, his face suddenly turned pale.He jumped up and ran straight to the window.

"What happened?" None of them responded.

"There was a boy who was peeking through the cracks in the curtains. He is now running towards the castle." Hagrid's voice even trembled. It seemed that he himself knew very well the consequences of raising a fire dragon privately.

Andre and Harry walked quickly to the door, and there was indeed a Slytherin student running quickly towards the school.

"It's Malfoy!" Harry had a look of anger on his face. Ever since he was deceived by Malfoy last time, the relationship between the two of them had become increasingly tense. If it weren't for the school rules, he would definitely fight with Malfoy every day. shelf.So even if it was just a silhouette, he could recognize the other person at a glance.

Hearing Harry's confirmation, Ron and Hermione's faces turned ugly.

This annoying guy must have overheard their conversation at school, so he followed them quietly.

"This is over, he will definitely tell Snape." Ron said dejectedly.

"We have to let this fire dragon go, Hagrid," Harry said.

"No, I can't do that," but Hagrid disagreed. He picked up Charmander nervously and said, "It's too small. If it's left outside, it will be killed by those terrible beasts." ."

"But in that case, you will be arrested by the Ministry of Magic sooner or later." Hermione said angrily.

"Maybe I have a way to hide this Norwegian Spinosaurus in a place where no one else can find it." Andre finally said.

Hagrid's big face immediately showed a smile, and he said happily: "I knew you had the best idea, Andre!"

"You mean the Room of Requirement?" Hermione immediately thought of the place where they brewed the veritaserum. Andre had said that that room would change the layout of the room according to the needs of the user.

"What is the Room of Requirement?" Harry and Ron didn't know this place like Hagrid. After all, Pettigrew was with them at the time, so it was impossible to tell them where it was.

Andre patiently explained it to the other three people. Hagrid's beetle-like black eyes suddenly lit up. He grinned and said, "I think we can wait a while longer to let this little fire dragon grow." It needs to be a little bigger, and then I will take it to the room you mentioned."

This hybrid giant has an extraordinary hobby for beasts. He obviously doesn't want to put the Norwegian Spinosaurus in the school so soon. After all, as a gamekeeper, he is not free to go to the castle every day.

"But if you are reported by Malfoy, you will lose your job, Hagrid!" Even Harry, who had the best relationship with Hagrid, could not understand his fanaticism, and he still wanted to persuade him.

"It can only be raised for a week at most, Hagrid." Andre was not too worried. At least he knew that Malfoy did not report it immediately in the original plot, so there was still a short period of time for Hagrid to raise the fire dragon.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it to school in a week." Hagrid muttered a little unwillingly.
