Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Several people hurried across the grounds, through the wind and gardens of Hogwarts.

Qingluan spread its wings and soared above their heads, chirping happily from time to time.

The group of people just ran towards the edge of the forbidden forest area.

From a distance, Hagrid could be seen standing at the door of the hut to greet them. His face was red and he was very excited...

After seeing Zhang Xiao, he scratched his messy head and muttered:

"Okay, okay, I knew it would be like this. I was wondering why Zhang didn't come the first two times! You are all good friends, so you can't hide things."

A perfect misunderstanding, but it saved a lot of trouble.

"Coming out soon."

Hagrid let them into the hut and said hello to Qingluan.

By the way, Hagrid showed a certain curiosity when he first saw Sister Bird, and it was just like seeing ordinary creatures.

It took Zhang Xiao a long time to understand that Hagrid was obsessed with dangerous magical animals, such as the Acromantula and the Hippogriff.

The first time Zhang Xiao entered the door, he saw a big black egg placed in the center of the hut, which was about the same size as an ostrich egg.

The egg was lying on the table with a deep crack on it.

Something was moving inside, making a funny clicking sound.

They all moved their chairs closer to the table and watched closely, holding their breath.

Even Sister Bird stood on Zhang Xiao's head, stretching her graceful neck and staring curiously.

Suddenly, with a harsh scratching sound, the eggshell made a fine cracking sound, and cracks appeared on the shell.

After a while, it split open, and a small lizard-like thing flapped wildly on the table.

It's not pretty, it just looks like a crumpled black umbrella.

The spiny wings look particularly large compared to its thin, black body.

It also has a long, big nose with white nostrils, horns on its head, and orange-red eyes that protrude outward.

Xiaolong sneezed, and a few sparks came out of his nose.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid murmured.

Several people shook their heads in unison. Sister Bird saw them all shaking their heads and started shaking them too.

But Hagrid didn't care. He stretched out a hand. Compared with this hand, the Norwegian Ridgeback looked like a chicken.

Hagrid rubbed its head, and the little dragon bit his finger, revealing its long pointed teeth and letting out a low whimper.

"Oh my god, look, he knows his mother!"

Several people looked frightened. Was this an attack? Is this an act of aggression?

It started to shake its head!

How did Hagrid regard biting his prey as recognizing his mother!

Sister Bird looked at it for a long time, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Xiao doubtfully, as if asking what it was and why it was so ugly.

Zhang Xiao held it in his arms and whispered in Chinese:

"Sister Bird, this is the dragon of the west."

! ! ! Sister Bird's eyes suddenly opened wide. She looked at the lizard on the table that was still biting Hagrid's finger, and then at Zhang Xiao.

There was a big doubt in the small eyes.

Is this a dragon? ?

Is this really a dragon? ?

How could this be a dragon? ?

Well, for Qingluan, who has been living in China and went abroad for the first time, it is indeed difficult to understand the concept of this Western dragon.

From a cultural perspective, Eastern dragons and Western dragons are basically two kinds of creatures.

There is a type of Western dragon called the Chinese Fireball. Zhang Xiao asked his father and he was speechless and found out that there were more of these things in Vietnam.

It has been Chinese since ancient times, so there is nothing wrong with calling it Chinese Fireball.

It's just that in China, the fireball is not called a dragon. It has a very local name, called the fire bat.

As for real Eastern dragons, they are very, very, very rare. Dad said there seems to be one in Longhu Mountain, but it is not as strong as in mythology. I don’t know how strong it is.

Because I haven’t seen my father, and he even said that he hasn’t appeared for a long time.

Maybe it was because Hagrid's skin was too thick. The Norwegian Ridgeback tried hard for a long time but couldn't bite through the skin, so it had no choice but to give up. However, it really seemed to regard Hagrid as its mother.

She raised her head and gave him an unpleasant cry, which made Sister Bird's feathers explode.

Hagrid let out a loud whimper:

"Oh, the little cutie is asking for food from her mother! It's so cute."

Zhang Xiao: (￣～￣；)

Harry, Ron and Hermione: (￣～￣;)(￣～￣;)(￣～￣;)

Hagrid hurriedly found brandy and raw chicken torn into small pieces from the box, and carefully fed it into the Norwegian Ridgeback's mouth.

He also said in a very gentle tone:

"Norbert, can mom name you Norbert?"

The little wizards couldn't help but tremble.

Ron swallowed his saliva and whispered:

"Hagrid. Do you plan to keep it forever?"

Hagrid fell silent for a moment. He was still feeding Norbert gently, but everyone could see the hesitation and struggle on his face.

"Charlie told me that the baby dragon grows very fast. In less than a month, it will be bigger than you!"

Hagrid bit his lip. "I-I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away, no."

Hermione took a deep breath to think of something to say.

Zhang Xiao had already stood up, holding something like an exquisite collar in his hand.

The whole body of the collar is made of red copper, engraved with dense and complex patterns, supplemented by various gemstones and gold decorations. This is the spirit beast collar.

"Hagrid, I have something for you. You should use it."

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Xiao, and then they were attracted by the collar that said "I am very expensive" all over the body.

Women always seem to be irresistible to shiny things. Hermione stared at the shining necklace in Zhang Xiao's hand with some confusion in her eyes, and whispered:

"Oh, it's so beautiful, isn't it?

What's this? Ladies necklace? "

Ron and Harry nodded desperately in agreement:

"It looks expensive."

Zhang Xiao handed the collar directly to Hagrid and said at the same time:

"This is a spiritual beast. Magical animal collar. It is an alchemy tool from my hometown. It has only one function, which is to control the size of magical animals."

This is the spirit beast collar. Because its function is too single and the cost is high, it has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

Because China is so big, most extraordinary beings who can afford spirit beast collars will not lack land to raise spirit beasts.

The three little ones exclaimed together, what a magical prop!

Then he couldn't help but cheer. As long as the size can be controlled, Hagrid can keep it, and even after shrinking the dragon, it won't be able to cause serious damage!

What's even better is that no one can be sure that such a small one is a dragon. Maybe it is a winged salamander!

perfect!

Zhang Xiao's idea is simpler. In addition to satisfying Hagrid's wish, he also wants to get familiar with Noble and cosplay the dragon knight in the future.

You can’t ride the giant dragon from the East, but it’s not bad to ride the dragon from the West! Give Norbert another layer of gold paint, and it will look golden and Doraemon!

"Control the size of magical animals?" Hagrid was stunned. He looked at the collar in his hand blankly, then looked at Norbert, and understood everything.

He covered his face. After a while, tears seeped out from between his fingers. He wiped his eyes and said with a choked voice:

"No, no need, Zhang, Ron is right, it was wrong for me to keep Norbert.

I can't have it, it's too expensive! "

Harry and Ron were so anxious that they couldn't help shouting:

"Hagrid."

Zhang Xiao waved his hand to tell them to stop talking, and said with a smile:

"Hagrid, you don't think that the English version of the book is my Christmas gift to you, do you?"

Hagrid muttered:

"Oh no, that book is very useful and interesting. I mean I'm really happy to receive that gift."

Zhang Xiao shook his head:

“Originally, this collar was what I prepared for you, but the customization of this collar takes time and it only arrived some time ago.

so.

"Belated wishes, Merry Christmas, Hagrid~"

Thanks to the book friend "The Dementor's Little Yellow Duck Underpants" for the AI ​​picture made for Sister Bird~ Compare your feelings~

Pfft, I feel a little overwhelmed thinking about Dementors wearing little yellow duck underwear.

By the way, the pictures of Sister Bird are out, so go to the character and give her some love. Students who can’t see the paintball badge will go to the character card.

Think of the spirit beast ring as being like Ant-Man, indecisive in times of trouble, quantum mechanics.

It's a bit stuck, mainly because of the connection issue. I'll think about how to reasonably connect it to the final plot of the first part, and I'll release the second update at noon.

The first part was really difficult to write, it was all foreshadowing. Whenever I wanted to change something, I felt like Dumbledore was watching the protagonist, and I really wanted to rush to the second part and let go to ruin the plot.
