Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Newt rushed over, forgetting that he had agreed to watch the dragon from a safe distance.

Livede, of course, wouldn't remind him, because he originally wanted to find a reason to observe the dragon up close.

However, with Newt's personality, even if Livede reminded him, he would still rush forward.

It's just that he might put Livede down first before charging.

In front of the dragon's huge body.

That person was squatting motionless in front of the dragon's nose.

Newt was worried that his shouting would cause the dragon to react, so he didn't dare to shout loudly.

He could only drive the Zouwu and quickly run to the person's side.

"Hey! Are you out of your mind? Get out of there!" Newt shouted in a low voice after getting closer.

The man turned his head and glanced at him. When he saw the Zouwu under Newt, his beetle-like black eyes lit up!

"What a beautiful big cat!" the man exclaimed.

Newt couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his face clearly.

This person was two heads taller than Newt when he stood up, but his face looked very childish...

A body taller and stronger than an adult, but with the face of a child.

Newt was confused, and he asked blankly, "How...how old are you anyway?"

"Me? I'm nine years old this year... I'll be ten after my birthday in December..." the man said in a simple and childish voice.

Newt and Livede exchanged glances. Nine years old?

Then Newt looked at Livede as if he had seen a ghost.

"Livede! What are you doing here?!" Newt said in shock.

Livede blinked and said, "Didn't you bring me here?"

"Ah..." Newt was going crazy.

He had forgotten about Livede because he was too anxious!

He should have put Livede down first before approaching the dragon!

Now, the dragon was close at hand.

Just one dragon flame... he might not die, but these two 'children' would have a hard time surviving!

If that happened, it would all be his fault!

How could he live up to Dumbledore's entrustment? How could he live up to the child's relatives and friends?!

He would even have no face to face Nagini!

"Grumble..."

At this time, the dragon made a purring sound.

This startled Newt. Although the dragon was a bit depressed and lazy to move, it might become furious if someone disturbed it.

Depression to a certain extent can transform into mania... that's how people are, and dragons shouldn't be too different...

No! We have to get out of here!

Newt now regretted agreeing to Livede's request!

"We should leave here..." Newt was so scared that his blood almost ran cold before he could finish his words!

Because in the short few seconds that he was in a daze.

Livede and that big fool actually ran to the dragon's nose together and started studying the dragon's whiskers!

And it seemed like they even wanted to pull one off to take a look!

"Merlin's underpants!" Newt quickly jumped onto the Zouwu, and the Zouwu understood and stretched out two claws, grabbed Livede and that big fool, threw them on his back, and turned around to run!

The next second, the dragon behind them let out a huge roar.

Then a dragon flame flew past their scalps!

However, this dragon's condition was indeed different from ordinary dragons...

After spewing a dragon flame, it lay down again and refused to lift its head.

Newt was puzzled as to why the dragon, which was originally quite stable, suddenly burst out.

Could it really be that the three of them disturbed it?

Then Newt's eyes caught sight of something extra in the big fool's hand... a hair!

A long and thick hair!

Newt's face turned green... this was no hair! This was the dragon's whisker!

No wonder the dragon spewed dragon flame!

If it were a less depressed one, it would have rushed up and chased after them!

"Wow, big guy, you're brave! You just plucked the dragon's whisker so splendidly!" Livede exclaimed.

"Uh... I originally wanted to pick it up and take a look... but this big cat suddenly grabbed me, and I was a little nervous, so I clenched it... and then... then it came off..."

"You two... brats!" Newt, a good-tempered and honest man, was so angry that his chest hurt, and it took him a long time to recover!

The Zouwu ran for a while before stopping, after confirming that the dragon had not chased after them.

Newt jumped off the Zouwu's back, leaned against the Zouwu's body, supported his forehead with his hand, and gasped for breath.

"This gentleman..." the big guy hadn't finished speaking.

Newt waved his hand, "Wait... let me catch my breath... I'm still not over the fear..."

The big boy seemed a little at a loss, as if he knew he had caused trouble.

Livede, on the other hand, took the dragon whisker in his hand and observed it carefully.

As soon as the dragon whisker was in his hand, Livede felt a burst of warmth.

This was the heat that the whisker itself carried, and even such a whisker was a bit heavy.

It was like holding an iron chain.

However, it was only now that Livede remembered the image of the dragon just now.

Then Livede was surprised to find that the image of this dragon was different from the illustrations and descriptions he saw in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!

Only Chinese Fireball Dragons have whiskers, but... Chinese Fireball Dragons are not that big.

Moreover, the scales of that dragon were not bright red, and there were no tassel-like spikes around its nose like those of a Chinese Fireball.

On the contrary, its scales were dark black, and like a Romanian Longhorn, it had a pair of long, golden horns on its head.

Also, its unusually large body… it resembled a Ukrainian Ironbelly…

In any case, after summing it all up, Levid couldn't recognize what kind of dragon it was.

At this time, Newt finally recovered.

"What… what's your name? Why are you here?" Newt asked the large boy.

The large boy said in a simple and honest voice, "My name is Rubeus Hagrid. My dad took me to visit my mum, and then, he got a little hurt. He told me to stay put, and then he went to find herbs to heal himself… Later, I heard the roar of the dragon, so I went to take a look… and then I saw that handsome dragon!"

After hearing his self-introduction, Levid's guess was completely confirmed.

The only one who could grow so tall at the age of nine was the half-giant Rubeus Hagrid.

Hmm… so his father is still alive?

Levid felt that he must meet this… warrior if he had the chance!

As a former biologist, standing from a biological point of view, he was really very curious… how did this warrior manage to impregnate a female giant who was almost ten meters tall!

A toothpick stirring a large vat… it felt a bit unbelievable no matter how he thought about it…

However, since he is Hagrid, then the so-called mother his father went to visit must be the female giant Fridwulfa…

Giants don't have high intelligence, so it's normal for Hagrid's father to get hurt while visiting her.

"Never get close to dragons next time! Dragons are very dangerous creatures!" Newt solemnly advised Hagrid.

"But, that dragon just now was very well-behaved… I want to raise it…" Hagrid was a little unconvinced.

"The dragon just now was in a special situation, completely different from other dragons… You should also be glad that the dragon was a bit depressed and unwilling to move, otherwise, you might have been roasted and eaten before you even got close!" Newt said sternly.

"Is it… that serious?" Hagrid was obviously a little disbelieving.

Levid said, "Hagrid, don't doubt it. This is Mr. Scamander, the world-renowned magizoologist! The author of the best-selling book 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'! No one else in this world knows more about fantastic beasts than him!"

Levid's long speech made Newt blush.

He repeatedly said, "Exaggerated… exaggerated…"

And Hagrid's gaze towards Newt instantly became extremely admiring.

"Have you read 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'?" Levid asked again.

"I… I don't like reading…" Hagrid said a little shyly.

"I happen to have a copy of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' here. If you are interested in fantastic beasts, you can read it more." Levid handed a thick stack of bound parchment to Hagrid. "Knowledge is power, Hagrid. Only by reading more can you better interact with fantastic beasts!"

"Okay!" Hagrid excitedly took the stack of parchment.

Although he didn't like reading, in order to better deal with fantastic beasts, it wasn't like he couldn't read!

At this time, Newt looked at the stack of parchment in Hagrid's hand, looking hesitant.

But Hagrid was here, and the atmosphere was built up, so some of his questions were not easy to ask.

"Rubeus! Where are you…"

Suddenly, a faint call came from the distance.

"It's my dad!" Hagrid said excitedly.

"Then go find your dad. Remember, before you have enough ability and master certain knowledge, you must never come into contact with dangerous creatures like dragons! This is for your safety!" Newt warned again.

"Got it! Mr. Scamander!" Hagrid said, and rushed into the nearby woods with the stack of parchment in his arms, running towards the direction the call came from!

Levid looked at his back and couldn't help but say, "Only nine years old, and he's already so tall… It's really strange, Newt."

But Newt didn't respond to his words for a long time.

Levid then realized that Newt was now looking at him with a very strange look.

"Uh… what's wrong? Do I have flowers growing on my face?"

"No… I actually had a question I wanted to ask you just now, Levid."

"What?"

"You advised Hagrid to read, which is good, reading my book… is not bad either, but… what you just took out… seems to be a handwritten copy? You wouldn't have not bought my original book, would you?"

"Ah? Hiss… If I said it was because I liked your book too much, so I hand-copied a copy, would you believe me?" Levid asked with a chuckle.

"Should I believe it? Levid?"

"Uh…"

It was Levid's turn to feel embarrassed.

Back then, when he bought books in Diagon Alley, in order to save money, he directly carried a large pile of books and then transcribed them from memory.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was one of them!

After all, first-year students don't need to take Care of Magical Creatures class yet… He felt that it would be timely to buy textbooks later, so he directly transcribed one.

When he saw Hagrid just now, he casually gave away the handwritten copy.

And he gave his pirated book to the original author in front of his face…

Ah, this…
