"We've got to go see that egg!" said Harry rather anxiously. "Hagrid says there's something wrong with the dragon egg."

Kate frowned, there is no such thing in the original book.

But even she can fight against Quirrell's magic power secretly, and it is not impossible for the plot to change a little.

For the sake of the dragon egg, she nodded immediately, and hurried to the hunting lodge with them.

Completely oblivious to Malfoy's inquiring gaze following her.

Half an hour later, when the four people who knocked on the wooden door of the hut entered the room, they were almost suffocated by the heat inside.

Kate is okay, she just feels a little hot with the lover chain.

However, it is enough to see how far Hagrid has changed the environment in order to take care of the dragon eggs.

A raging fire was burning in the fireplace, and Hagrid took out a large black egg from the very center of the fire, twirling his beard with some embarrassment.

"I don't know what's going on. Every step is strictly implemented according to the book, but you touch the eggshell."

Kate reached out and touched the dark eggshell, and immediately frowned: "Why is it still so cold?"

Before the dragon egg hatches, it is simulated by the female dragon's breath, and it is placed in a fire to maintain a temperature similar to that in the nest.

But the dragon egg in front of him was obviously already in a warm environment, but the temperature of the eggshell did not rise for a long time.

"Judging from the thickness of the eggshell, hatching should take place within this week..." Kate tapped the eggshell lightly with her fingertips, listening to the sound, and judging based on what she had learned.

At this time, the temperature of the eggshell should be slightly higher than that of the human body.

"I'll try the spell that the teacher taught me to check." She pulled out her wand, whispered the spell, and the huge magic power instantly enveloped the dragon egg.

After a while, she was withdrawn from the magic power with a slightly pale face, and stared at it with some resentment.

"Is the dragon egg going to be okay?" Ron still couldn't hold his breath and asked anxiously.

Kate is annoyed: "It's a premature egg, damn it, I didn't notice it before!"

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Only Harry blinked his eyes and raised his hand like a good baby to ask: "What is a premature egg?"

"It's just a dragon egg that was not absorbed enough nutrients in the female dragon's body and was born for other abnormal reasons." Hermione explained to him in a low voice.

Kate clenched her fists unconsciously, "I have to inform the principal and ask him to ask the teacher to come and help."

Hagrid was startled, and immediately went to stop her: "You can't tell the principal about this, it's illegal to keep fire dragons!"

"If the teacher doesn't come to help, it will die!" Kate threw him away, "Do you know what it means to lay eggs prematurely? It means that the hatched one is likely to be a deformed dragon, and it won't survive! "

Just like those teacup dogs and teacup cats that were once popular, looking at the little one, it became popular because of its cuteness.

But in fact, the cats and dogs born in this way are some deformed children. The heart used to maintain life is only the size of a pea, and they will die naturally before they can live long.

In the same way, premature dragon eggs are the same, even because the dragon race itself has a more complex physiological system than cats and dogs, it will make premature young dragons suffer more pain.

God knows where Quirrell got these dragon eggs, and now that the Charmander has not yet hatched, she went to Newt and might save his life.

"At this time, Charmander's life is still important." Hermione also persuaded from the side, "Hagrid, let her go."

Hagrid was hesitating to answer, but suddenly his face turned pale, and he ran straight to the window in a few steps.

"What's going on?" Harry asked.

"Someone was peeping out the window just now, it must be a little boy." Hagrid replied restlessly.

Kate pursed her lips: "I can't delay any longer, I'm going to find Professor Dumbledore now!"

With that said, she went straight to the castle.

Thanks to this more than a month of exercise, after running desperately up to the eighth floor, she can still bend over and pant instead of lying directly on the ground.

Quickly read the command and went to the principal's office. The door inside was closed tightly. She hurried up and knocked on the door: "Professor, I'm Kate!"

Not long after, the front door slowly opened.

Fox flew out of it affectionately and rubbed her face.

Kate walked into the office while resisting its intimacy with difficulty: "Professor, I have something to find—"

Her words stopped abruptly when she saw the old man who was talking to Dumbledore.

"Teacher, why are you here!" Kate ran over excitedly, and Fox obediently flew to Dumbledore's shoulder.

Newt smiled slightly, leaned over and rubbed her little head with his hands: "Ever since you wrote to me about the dragon egg, I've been investigating its source."

Kate was taken aback: "So, it is indeed problematic, isn't it?"

"It must be because of the dragon egg that you came here in such a hurry?" Newt asked back.

She nodded immediately: "Yes, I found that the dragon egg was a premature egg. If there is no treatment, the young dragon will probably die."

As she said that, she looked at Newt expectantly: "Teacher, you must have a way to save it, right?"

The gentle smile on Newt's face slightly subsided, "Unfortunately, the dragon egg is only less than a week away from hatching. The time is too short for me to make a difference."

Couldn't even the Master of Fantastic Beasts save the unborn baby dragon?

Kate only felt her heart skip a beat, she lowered her head in frustration, and nodded after a while: "Well, I see."

The fact is, she can't force it.

"Thank you, teacher, for making such a long trip," she whispered, "It's better to wait for Charmander to hatch, and you can take it away, at least in the limited days, so that it can live a little better. "

Newt straightened up, looked at the disciple who was disappointed but had to keep calm, and turned to look at Dumbledore, who was silent all the time.

Seeing that the White Demon King nodded to him, Newt smiled a little, and rubbed Kate's head with his lower hand.

"What if there is another way to make it live safely?"

Kate raised her head at once: "What way?"

"Now this Norwich Ridgeback is a premature egg, we just need to find someone who was also a premature baby and survived, pour a lot of magic power into it, and artificially help it ripen."

What is the relationship between premature eggs and premature babies?

Probably there is a kind of metaphysics in the wizarding world.

Kate thought for a moment: "But the general premature baby is very weak, and the magic power is not too much due to physical reasons. Where can I find a premature baby with a lot of magic power?"

"That's you, Kate," Newt said with a grin.

……Eh?

that is……

For the first time Kate knew she was a premature baby.

So her fear of the cold is caused by premature birth, right?

But looking at the old housekeeper's hesitant appearance before, it seems that her premature birth has other hidden secrets.

Come to think of it, there is no reason why someone gave birth prematurely.

She has no time to worry about this reason now, and after digesting the fact for a while, she asked: "Is there no risk or side effect to force ripening?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Newt nodded with relief: "Of course there are risks. If it fails, Charmander may not even survive the day it hatches, and will die on the spot."

"You yourself will be backlashed by this, and you may be weak for a few months."

"And even if it succeeds, the little charmander will be weaker than other naturally formed charmanders, and will be more dependent on the care of the mother dragon."

"However, since you are going to ripen it, it will also regard you as its mother."

Ah this...

It was quite normal to hear the first few sentences, but when she heard the last sentence, Kate was a little confused.

If she remembered correctly, there was already a Hungarian Horntail treating her as an old mother before, why is there another one now?

She is not the mother of dragons, how come so many dragons regard her as their mother!

Kate raised her hand tremblingly: "Excuse me, if I revive it, do I still need to keep it?"

"That's not necessary," Newt shook his head, "Little Charmander is weak and needs careful care by professionals, but you are recognized by it as its mother, so naturally you have to visit it often."

"Then where did its biological mother go?" She wanted to cry without tears.

Newt's expression became slightly serious: "This is what I wanted to tell you at the beginning, you should know that there is a profession of dragon hunter, right?"

Dragon hunters are similar to animal poachers in previous lives, but the animals they poach are dragons.

Although the fire dragons are powerful, they are full of treasures. From head to toe, even from saliva to feces, everything is useful.

Such a profitable creature naturally became the target of poaching by dragon hunters.

"After half a month of investigation, I found out that a wild dragon nest in Norway had been sneaked into by a dragon hunter."

"At that time, there was only one pregnant female Ridgeback in the den. After being killed and dissected by the dragon hunters, it was discovered that she was still pregnant."

"Later, people at the dragon training base discovered the skeleton of the female dragon, so they urgently notified the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to track it down."

When Newt said this, he couldn't help sighing, "I checked the direction they were traveling all the way, and found that they passed through Albania and other small countries in the past year or so, and they were only recently arrested by Aurors. "

Kate shuddered imperceptibly.

Albania is where Quirrell met Voldemort.

She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead: "Teacher, if I save it, will it affect me?"

"As long as you succeed, you will only be weak for two or three days. It's like drinking a strengthened version of anti-demon potion. After a few days, you will be fine."

Don't talk about it, when it comes to the smell of the magic suppressing potion, she wants to feel sick.

She had a bitter face, "Teacher, professor, are you sure I'm enough alone?"

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu like she's just a child, and she only has a little bit of magic power. If it's all poured in, she'll suffer from lack of firepower phobia!

Newt smiled: "If you don't want to, I can find someone else, but I don't know if I can make it in time."

She wanted to wait for someone else to come, but when she caught a glimpse of Old Dengtou's meaningful smile from the corner of her eye, she shuddered.

I'm afraid that this is the White Demon King's test for her.

Kate knew very well that Dumbledore should know that she was deliberately disguising.

After just a few conversations, she already realized how meticulous and meticulous the mind of the greatest wizard of all time who could defeat Grindelwald was.

She knew that Dumbledore had probably guessed part of her disguise, and Dumbledore knew that she had seen it all.

While it sounds like a nesting doll, it is true.

It's just that her current strength and resourcefulness are unable to wrestle with Dumbledore, and she doesn't want to fight him.

Then you can only hug this thick thigh if you pass his test.

Only when the black and white devil fights in the ring later can she hide behind Lao Deng and Harry.

This year of the Sorcerer's Stone is a test for Dumbledore, a test for Harry, and a test for her.

If you want to be protected by others, you have to show some sincerity yourself.

Thinking of this, Kate could only clenched her fingers hesitantly: "If I can really save it...I will work hard!"

The big deal is that it will take a few months, and under the premise that she is the only one who can save Charmander, Dumbledore's favorability towards her will increase a little.

Killing two birds with one stone, in order to graduate alive, she fought hard!

Chapter 78 Miss Malfoy is probably shaking that m

It was almost curfew when they returned to the Slytherin lounge. Kate had listened to Newt and Dumbledore talking about the methods and precautions for instilling magic power all afternoon. Now her mind was dizzy and she just wanted to go back to her room to sleep.

Anyway, she just finished the one-month exercise task yesterday, and as long as the second month's recurring task doesn't start, she will be able to spend a bad day.

Yawning, ignoring the strange gazes of the people around her, Kate was about to enter the girls' dormitory when Malfoy, who appeared out of nowhere, stopped her.

"Safik, are you deliberately afraid to look at me?"

what?

Kate turned around belatedly, only to see the man staring at her sullenly.

Oh, and this guy sneaked into Hagrid's cabin earlier and saw the dragon egg.
