The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Hagrid looked solemn, struggled to get up and said:

"John, the new dishes you are talking about are dishes like the pot of chicken stew just now... um, do they require magic materials, like refining potions?"

"Of course." John said with a smile, "The addition of magic ingredients can make the dishes have a wonderful and extraordinary taste. I believe you have just felt this."

Hagrid nodded vigorously, then refused:

"John, if that's the case, I can't give you the magic materials casually. Not only that, in fact, I kind of regret letting you make that pot of chicken stew just now."

John frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on his face, but said nothing and just looked at Hagrid quietly.

"Whether it's magic or potions, they are very dangerous. I believe your professor must have told you about the serious consequences caused by the failure to release and make magic potions."

Hagrid explained, "The risk of developing new potions, or innovations like yours that try to use potion refining methods in cooking, is even greater. What if the cooking you accidentally make has any side effects? , if someone eats it, the consequences will be..."

Hagrid suddenly shuddered when he said this.

It seemed that he had experienced something similar before, which left a deep psychological shadow on him.

But John did not give up yet and continued to persuade:

"Don't worry, Hagrid. Isn't there Madam Pomfrey? I have seen her healing skills, which are very exquisite. And I will not be stupid enough to use myself or others as a guinea pig."

"Mrs. Pomfrey is not omnipotent, and there will be dangers during the production process." Hagrid shook his head again and said, "If you must try, it is better to let a professional like Professor Snape supervise you. ? In this case, I can safely give you the materials and let you try it."

As soon as he said this, Snape's stinky face appeared in John's mind.

John shook his head quickly.

Asking Snape to supervise his magical cooking was simply asking for death.

Thinking of this, John sighed.

What he wants is to obtain high-value magic materials from Hagrid in large quantities for free or at low prices in the long term.

To achieve this goal, ordinary lame excuses will not do.

John and Hagrid had only met a few times in total.

Even with Harry's relationship, it is estimated that Hagrid would not allow John to empty out his cabin little by little.

In this case, the reason of 'developing new dishes' is quite perfect.

Because Hagrid himself can benefit from this process (tasting delicious food), John can also slowly expand the scope of material request to other non-potion materials bit by bit.

For example, unicorn tail hair.

Who says this thing can't be used for cooking?

John thought it would be good to weave it into rope and make Dongpo pork.

It's a pity that John never expected that Hagrid would care for his students so much.

At this time, Hagrid felt uncomfortable in his heart when he saw John who was sighing alone instead of continuing to pester him.

Hagrid also knew very well how Snape treated his students.

So he understood John's desire not to have Snape supervise him.

But John's ongoing research is really not feasible without the supervision of professors.

After struggling for a long time, Hagrid finally gritted his teeth and said:

"John, otherwise, if you must carry out the 'new dish development', then put the test site here with me! I will supervise you.

Of course, I may not be able to give you much help.But at least, if something unexpected happens during the research, I can guarantee your safety.

And I can help you taste the dishes!After all, my body is very strong!Even if there are some side effects, I can at least handle it longer than you! "

Having said this, Hagrid swallowed subconsciously.

John was speechless watching this scene.

He strongly suspected that the reason why Hagrid proposed such a plan was entirely because he wanted to eat more delicious food as soon as possible.

Moreover, this plan is still different from John's previous idea.

However, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, according to Hagrid's plan, John could no longer line his own pockets and secretly hide some information.

Normal magic dishes can still be made.

And John can also gain magic power by eating these dishes.

So in other words, he can still get a lot of magic talent growth from free prostitution, but he can't get money by selling materials.

This is actually acceptable.

After thinking about this, John smiled and nodded and said:

"Thank you, Hagrid."

As soon as he said this, Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Don't say that, John, it's me who should thank you. After all, the food you cook is so delicious."

Hagrid spoke categorically, with some guilt hidden inside.

Hearing this, John's lips raised slightly.

Feeling guilty means that you can continue to make demands.

And generally speaking, if you make a second, more minor request immediately after the first request is rejected, the probability of success will be greatly increased.

John nodded and said:

"Well, Mr. Hagrid, why don't you tell me about jungle survival. I'm very interested in this knowledge."

Hagrid was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He was just a little not very smart, but not really stupid, especially since he was almost turned into a PDST by the Weasley twins. He immediately guessed that John's target was the Forbidden Forest.

At first he wanted to refuse, and gave John a stern warning not to do so.

After all, it is too dangerous!

But soon he thought again.

If he doesn't let John go, will John not go?

Like the Weasley twins, how many times had he stopped and warned them?

The results of it?

Don't those two guys go into the Forbidden Forest every day when they have free time?

Therefore, warnings are necessary.

But at the same time, we must also teach him some real jungle skills, and at least let him know which dangerous places he must not go to, so that he can be protected to the greatest extent.

"Okay, John, let me tell you about the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid sighed and made it clear, "I usually divide the Forbidden Forest into inner and outer layers. The outer layer is the area where we can move daily. For example, Care of Magical Creatures classes are sometimes held in the outer layer of the Forbidden Forest.

And the inner layer belongs to the monsters!A real monster!A man-eating monster!

Please believe me, if a little wizard like you enters the inner layer of the Forbidden Forest alone, he won't survive even half a day!Therefore, never enter the inner layer of the Forbidden Forest!do you understand? "

"Yes, I understand."

Hearing this, Hagrid took out a bone whistle and said:

"Of course, you can't tell which is the outer layer and which is the inner layer. Sometimes even I can't tell. So if you encounter any danger, blow the whistle immediately. The centaurs are very sensitive to this sound. Sensitive, he will rush over when he hears a sound.”

"Centaurs?"

"Yes, they are the kind of centaurs you think of. Their tribe has lived in the Forbidden Forest for generations, and they are very familiar with every plant and tree there. They love the cubs of other animals and will give you some help. Or rescue you directly.

Of course, the premise is that you have to respect them.Centaurs are very proud creatures. They regard the Forbidden Forest as their own territory and exclude humans. "

Hagrid shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's stop here for today. There are so many things to note about the Forbidden Forest that I can't finish them in a short while. You can come to my place every weekend from now on." Wilderness survival class', and by the way, we will use the materials here to conduct research on 'new food development'.

In addition, I still want to advise you not to go to the Forbidden Forest, let alone harm the magical animals there.If you are met by me, I will not show mercy to you and will kick you out. "

John smiled and nodded.

Of course, we still have to go to the Forbidden Forest.

Just look at the various 'collections' in Hagrid's room to know how amazing the output of the Forbidden Forest is.

If this business can get on track, his income will increase exponentially.

The income from gold galleons and magic materials can directly increase the progress of John's devouring magic power. The increase in income is actually equivalent to increasing John's strength.

What's more, if you come here every week, you can get a big pot of magic dishes made from magic ingredients for free.

Therefore, he is determined to take the 'wilderness survival course' in the future!

Taking a deep breath, John stood up and wanted to thank Hagrid first.

At this moment, the door of the cabin was pushed open.

Harry looked at the people in the hut with a surprised look on his face and said:

"Ah? Why are you here?"
