Chapter 145 Hogwarts Bastard Dragon

For the entire morning that followed, both of them were immersed in the world of fire dragons.When it was time to eat lunch, Hagrid showed an embarrassed look, frowning sometimes, gritting his teeth sometimes, and finally he made up his mind.

"Lu Ren, if, I mean if, would you raise a fire dragon if you had the chance?" Hagrid looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Of course I have to raise it. I made a bet with a senior and won a kind of magic that was almost lost - the summoning spell. Hagrid, have you heard of it?"

Hagrid shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but I can probably understand it from the name." He pondered for a while, "Will you come to my place for lunch?"

"Okay." Lu Ren nodded heavily.

Lu Ren and Hagrid soon arrived outside Hagrid's hut. Hagrid opened the door, picked up Fangya, and invited Lu Ren in.

He closed the door, which made the room a little dark. He first brought Lu Ren some rock cakes and a large pot of potato and beef stew, and then he took out something from a dusty iron pot.

"Don't be afraid of what I'm going to show you next."

"It doesn't matter, I can also say that I have experienced many battles, I have seen a lot, and I will not be afraid."

Hagrid took out a big bundle, and when he opened it, an egg the size of a pineapple rolled out.The egg is covered with hexagonal protrusions, the raised areas are yellow, the sunken areas are green, and there is a small black dot on each protrusion...

The more Lu Ren looked at it, the more familiar it became. This egg looks like a pineapple!This is definitely a pineapple!

"Ahem," Lu Ren coughed twice solemnly, "After my research, this is Baodao Pineapple Dragon!"

"What? There's this kind of dragon? I didn't see it in the book!" Hagrid looked confused, and quickly opened the "Dragon Egg Illustrated Book" and started to look through it.

Lu Ren laughed, "I'm just kidding, according to my observation, this dragon egg should be the egg of a Norwegian Ridgeback, but don't you think this egg looks a bit like a big pineapple?"

Hagrid leaned forward to compare the patterns carefully, and found that it was indeed in line with the characteristics of the Norwegian Ridgeback egg. He immediately became happy: Norwegian Ridgeback is a rare species!This feeling is like the blind box has opened a super god.But he also thinks the egg looks a bit like a pineapple...

Preconceived, the more Hagrid looked at this egg, the more it looked like a pineapple...

It's over!A lot of money is needed for a pair of ears that have never heard of this statement!

"Hagrid, it's illegal to keep dragons in captivity... This little guy will be as big as your house in a month or two after hatching. What are you going to do? Put it in the Forbidden Forest?"

"No," Hagrid broke free from the pineapple, "There are so many monsters in the Forbidden Forest, what if I hurt it? It's still a child!"

Lu Ren: ...

Hagrid's thinking is really strange.But considering the magical creatures that Hagrid has raised, it seems that there is nothing strange: Hagrid raises things that are not dangerous except Fangya, the three-headed dog Maomao, the acromantula Aragog, and the Hippogriff with wings Buckbeak the beast, and snail-tailed snails... According to this line of thinking, it's okay for him to treat Charmander as a baby!

This should be the cognitive difference.After all, these animals seemed to be nothing to be afraid of to Hagrid.Hagrid's blood makes it easier for him to win the respect of intelligent creatures and the favor of magical animals. Even the centaur in the Forbidden Forest are willing to give him face.

"Don't worry, we will raise it first. I wanted to raise a dragon a long time ago." Hagrid maintained an optimistic attitude. "We should find out how to hatch it, and I have to give it a name..."

Lu Ren opened "Breeding Fire Dragons for Recreation and Profit" and turned to the page about raising Norwegian Ridgebacks. It said: Female Norwegian Ridgebacks will breathe on dragon eggs when they hatch, so this dragon species The hatching needs to put the eggs in the fire to simulate the breath of the dragon... After the dragon eggs are hatched, feed a bucket of chicken blood brandy every half hour, the ratio of chicken blood brandy is 2:1...

After studying the precautions for hatching for a while, the two put the dragon egg in the middle of the fire, and covered it with a large kettle.

In order to keep the temperature and privacy in the house, Hagrid drew down the curtains and closed them tightly, and at the same time turned on the fire - even though today was a sunny day.

Before the temperature in the room soared, Lu Ren left quickly.

In the next few days, Lu Ren will run to Hagrid's hut when he is free, observe the condition of the dragon eggs, and at the same time make a breeding plan after hatching: Norbert's temper is not very good in the original book, this is when he was just born. For the sake of good discipline, if you train it like you train a husky, then it will definitely be fine.Raising animals still needs to determine the master-slave status.Don't let the animal feel that you are inferior to it.

We must not form the mentality of "he provides me with food, I must be a god", but develop the understanding of "he provides me with food, he must be a god".

Lu Ren's abnormal behavior caught Hermione's attention.As the hatching date approached, Lu Ren often disappeared after class, and he could not be found in the common room or library.At the same time, his classmates were already struggling to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and he even ignored Hermione's review plan!

In the end, Lu Ren skipped the History of Magic course which became the last straw that overwhelmed Hermione.She found an opportunity to take Harry and Ron to block Lu Ren who was about to leave in a hurry after class.She started to ask about Lu Ren's whereabouts. At first, Lu Ren wanted to change the subject, but Hermione was unmoved. The back and forth was just a question: What have you been doing these two days?
Lu Ren saw that he couldn't hide anymore, so he could only lead them to Hagrid's cabin.

It’s been a while since Hagrid’s hut was different from Hermione’s impression. The curtains of all the windows were drawn tightly, and the inside of the house could not be seen from the outside. The chimney on the roof was billowing smoke. When Hermione knocked on the door, she felt a wave of heat rushing towards her face.

The room was so hot that it felt like it was midsummer, and Hermione broke out in a thin layer of sweat as soon as she sat down, and her gaze looked around the cabin, and her eyes fixed on the dragon egg under the kettle in the stove.But she didn't rush to ask, she noticed the guilty look in Hagrid's eyes, so Hermione had an idea.

She wants to take the opportunity to ask something. "Hagrid, can you tell us, besides the Philosopher's Stone, is there any guardian institution?"

Hagrid frowned. He didn't really want to answer, but he was afraid that Hermione would find the dragon eggs, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Including Professor Dumbledore, other professors basically participated—Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell, and Dumbledore, by the way, Lu Ren also participated in an organization!"

Ron's attention was immediately attracted by Lu Ren, but Hermione still did not forget her original intention. Taking advantage of Hagrid's inattention, she suddenly asked, "Hagrid, where did you get that dragon egg?"
