Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

Chapter 45 Firenze's Warning

Helga flipped her hand, and an emerald green egg appeared on her palm. This egg was several times smaller than the egg of the Norwegian Spinosaurus, but tremendous vitality emanated from this egg.

Helga said, "Eris, can you do me a favor?"

Aeris quickly replied, "Of course, ma'am, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."

"Just call me Helga," Helga said, "This is an extinct magical creature: the egg of a Scottish fairy dragon. It is a small dragon that is easy to tame. If you put in a little effort, it can even speak human language. But if it is born in my forest like this, it will never grow up safely. I have used a magic similar to a seal to protect it until now, but it has reached the limit of what I can do. It will not be long before it breaks out of the shell. My physical body is about to dissipate, and I can't take the initiative to materialize, so I entrust it to you. I hope you can take care of it. After all, it is the only surviving descendant of their clan."

Aeris took the dragon egg solemnly. It felt very light in his hand, not as heavy as he had imagined. Aeris said, "Please rest assured!"

Helga smiled and said to the old centaur, "Please send a centaur to take these students of mine out of the forest. This unicorn also needs care. Please send it back to their territory."

The old horseman bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I will follow your instructions."

A handsome male centaur with silver-white mane came out and bowed slightly to Helga. An ethereal voice sounded: "Ms. Hufflepuff, my name is Firenze. I will escort your student out."

Helga nodded slightly and said to Eris, "I will disappear soon. You guys should go back to the castle. We will see each other again if we are lucky, Eris!"

Aeris also said goodbye: "Goodbye! Helga!"

After deciding on a direction, Firenze led the children toward the edge of the forest.

After walking in silence for a while, Firenze's voice rang out: "Harry Potter, you shouldn't have come to the forest, especially at this time."

Harry looked at Firenze in confusion, only to hear Firenze talking to himself, "You also saw that thing drinking the unicorn's blood, right? Unicorns are holy and noble, and are the synonym of all goodness in the world. When you kill a unicorn, you have already committed an irreparable sin. Unicorn blood can delay a person's death. Even if the person is still alive, as long as he drinks the unicorn's blood, he will not die. But the moment the person's lips touch the unicorn's blood, he will have a half-dead life."

Harry and Draco looked at each other in horror. Firenze continued, "Before the unicorn's blood loses its effect, he is neither alive nor completely dead. What kind of person do you think is willing to have such a cursed life? Harry Potter, what is hidden in the castle? And what kind of person is waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback?"

Harry subconsciously touched the scar on his forehead and muttered to himself: "Voldemort..."

Draco shrank back in fear and looked at Firenze in surprise.

Aeris held the dragon egg in his hand, deep in thought, and did not participate in the conversation. Firenze walked and warned Harry like a riddler. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a series of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

Firenze took a defensive stance, and only relaxed when he saw Hagrid's majestic figure.

"Good evening, Firenze," Hagrid greeted familiarly, "It seems you have met our little Harry."

"Good evening, Hagrid," Firenze also greeted, "Harry Potter, you are safe now. I am going back to my tribe too. I wish you good luck."

Firenze raised his front hooves and ran into the depths of the forest like the wind.

"What a bunch of foals!" Hagrid cursed inwardly. Hermione and Ron ran over panting. Ron gasped and said, "Finally...finally caught up...Caught up with you...Hagrid...you...you just can't...slow down..."

Hermione and Ron were surprised to see Aeris and the others. After calming her breath, Hermione said, "We saw the signal you sent, but you were too far away. Hagrid was worried about your safety, so he had to speed up. Why are you here? Did you find the unicorn?"

Aes said: "The unicorn is safe now. The centaurs rescued it. They also gave me an egg, saying it was a small dragon egg that was easy to tame. I have no experience in taking care of magical creatures. Hagrid, can you take care of it?"

When Hagrid saw the emerald green dragon egg full of life, his eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said hesitantly, "But Norbert has just been sent away. This... this egg will also be sent away by Mr. Dumbledore after it is hatched..."

Aris said, "I can explain the situation to Professor Dumbledore. I think he will agree to let the dragon stay. After all, it is a valuable legacy of Hogwarts."

Hagrid looked at Aris doubtfully. He led the five children out of the Forbidden Forest and sent them all the way back to the castle. After settling the other four, Hagrid took Aris to the eighth floor of the castle and stopped at an entrance guarded by a stone monster. Hagrid patted his forehead and muttered to himself, "What was the secret code set by Mr. Dumbledore today?"

Aeris patted the stone monster and said, "Please tell Professor Dumbledore that I'm sorry to disturb his rest, but I have something important to tell him."

The stone monster nodded humanely, and after a moment of silence, it spoke: "Come in!" Then it silently moved aside.

Hagrid and Aries went upstairs one after another and walked into a magical room. Various sophisticated instruments were operating automatically. Photos of past headmasters were hung on the wall. They seemed to be resting, with faint snoring sounds coming one after another. A beautiful fiery red bird was perched on a bracket next to the desk. Professor Dumbledore, in sky blue pajamas, smiled gently at them.

Seeing the emerald green egg in Aries' hand, Professor Dumbledore frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Aries handed the egg to Hagrid, who stroked it gently as if he had found a treasure.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Professor Dumbledore," said Aerys, "The whole matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. Can you give me a small crystal bottle?"

"Of course, my child." Professor Dumbledore said gently. He picked up a small crystal bottle next to an ancient stone basin and handed it to Aris.

Aeris took out his wand and placed the tip of the wand against his temple. He frowned slightly, and as the tip of the wand moved away, a faint smoky filament was drawn out. He put the filament into a crystal bottle and handed it to Professor Dumbledore.

"You will see when you see it," said Aeris.

Professor Dumbledore poured the memory of Aeris into the stone basin and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Professor Dumbledore's expression was very solemn. He said to Hagrid gently, "Hagrid, this dragon egg is from a Scottish goblin dragon, a kind of dragon that can be domesticated. You can keep it. I won't send it to Romania again."

Hagrid held the dragon egg and laughed foolishly. Professor Dumbledore said, "Hagrid, go back first. I have something to tell Aeris."

After saying goodbye to each other, Hagrid left happily. Professor Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Aries, and Aries also looked at Professor Dumbledore calmly. Professor Dumbledore smiled gently and said, "It seems that you have inherited the legacy of Ms. Hufflepuff."

"Helga...simply said that I am the heir to her will," Eris answered truthfully.

"You should be the one who amazed me the most among all my students," Professor Dumbledore said with relief. "Even Tom Riddle many years ago was indeed very talented, but he was far from amazing to me."

"Tom Riddle?" Aris groaned. "Is that... Voldemort's real name?"

"That's right," Professor Dumbledore obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he changed the subject, "Did you teach yourself that magic circle, Aries?" Professor Dumbledore sat behind his desk. He waved his hand, and an armchair with a thick cushion ran over and stopped behind Aries. Aries sat opposite Professor Dumbledore.

Aris narrated to Professor Dumbledore the story of how he accidentally found the book "Summoning Circle and Summoning Magic" in the library and learned the summoning circle diagram. Professor Dumbledore listened carefully with a gentle smile on his face all the time.

The old man and the young man chatted for a long time, and finally Professor Dumbledore said: "Eris, I need to keep this memory of yours, okay?"

Aeris said, "No problem, Professor!"

Professor Dumbledore said gently, "It's late at night. We all need to rest. Do you need me to take you there, Aris?"

Aeris shook his head, stood up, and said, "Good night, Professor!"

"Good night, Aeris," said Professor Dumbledore.

Aeris walked out of Professor Dumbledore's office and headed towards the Gryffindor common room.
