From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Chapter 44 Fire Dragon (3)

When Calvin arrived at Hagrid's hut, he was blocking the fireplace with a bucket, trying to cover up the traces of the eggs.

"Hagrid," Calvin ignored Hagrid's obstruction and pushed him onto a chair nearby with a wave of his hand. He squatted next to the stove and carefully observed the state of the dragon egg.

At this time, the three Harrys also arrived. Harry palely defended to Hagrid that he was doing this to help him.

"Harry, you shouldn't." Hagrid said angrily, but on second thought there was no better way. After all, Calvin was not only his good friend, but also a master of magical beasts.

Calvin took out a tube of blue potion from his sleeve and poured it on the dragon egg.The magic medicine penetrated and gradually formed the shape of a small dragon in the egg.

"How's it going?" Hagrid watched Calvin's every move nervously. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Calvin's abilities, it was just that he really wanted to raise a dragon.

"No problem," Calvin stood up and dusted himself off. "The dragonet is very mature and will hatch out of its shell in a few days."

Hagrid jumped up excitedly: "Ha, this is really great." Then he found Calvin's blood-red eyes staring at him.

"Oh, I mean, it's kind of bad. Someone else found out I was raising a dragon after all."

"It's not important, Hagrid." Calvin skillfully poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Professor Capet, the Malfoy family has a good relationship with the Minister of Magic. If he reports on Hagrid, Hagrid will definitely be caught in Azkaban. Hagrid, you should get rid of this trouble as soon as possible." Luo En reminded Calvin from the side.

"No, I can't," Hagrid choked, "It's too small. If I don't take care of it, it will die."

"My relationship with the Minister of Magic is not bad either. Hagrid, I have an idea. I am building a new magical animal sanctuary these days. You can keep the fire dragon with me and you can visit it at any time. It is safe and reliable. ” Calvin offered his solution.

Hermione thought for a while and muttered under her breath: "I remember there is no magical creature sanctuary in the UK."

"I built it recently, Hermione. I can invite the three of you to play during the summer vacation."

Hagrid's eyes lit up: "It's a good idea to send the sample to the reserve, Calvin. But I want to send it there some time after it's born, is that okay?"

Hagrid looked at Calvin pleadingly. Raising a dragon was his dream.

Calvin put the tea cup down and looked directly at Hagrid seriously, making Hagrid feel very uncomfortable.

"I, I will give it to you right away, no more..." Hagrid said nervously.

"Hagrid, these are all small questions," Calvin said softly, "I'm now very interested in where your dragon egg came from."

Hagrid said solemnly: "I won it playing cards with a guy in Hogsmeade."

"When? With whom? Besides playing cards, what else did you say?" Calvin asked.

"A few days after Halloween, I won it playing cards with a stranger in the Hog's Head Bar in Hogsmeade. He claimed to be a Greek, and I don't know anything else. As for what he said..." Hagrid said carefully Recalling what happened that day, "I really can't remember. I got drunk later that day. It was already daytime when I woke up, holding a dragon egg in my arms."

"Tsk," Calvin was a little disappointed that he didn't hear any useful information. Then he took out his wand and asked, "Do you mind if I use some magic?"

Hagrid frowned: "Is what happened that day that important?"

"Very important." Calvin nodded.

"Then, come on." Hagrid gritted his teeth and agreed to Calvin's request.

Calvin took out a crystal ball from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He placed the wand near Hagrid's temple, pulled out a silver ribbon, and put the ribbon into the crystal ball.

Calvin looked up at the dumbfounded Harry and the three of them. He wanted to drive them out, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone about what you see next." Calvin warned the three of them sternly.

The three Harrys nodded quickly to express their understanding.

Calvin then tapped the crystal ball with his wand. The white ribbon inside quickly rotated, and a clear picture soon appeared.

"This seems to be an alchemical work I know." Hermione said curiously.

"A pensieve, but I changed it to a meditation ball."

Five heads were crowded in front of the crystal ball, trying to figure out what happened that night.

Soon Hagrid appeared on the screen, playing cards with several wizards.

While playing cards, several people boasted about their great achievements.

The middle-aged wizard opposite Hagrid was a smuggler, and he was bragging about his smuggling exploits to everyone.

He said that he had just returned from Greece and had many good things.

"The relic of Haierbo, one of the most famous dark wizards in history. I spent a lot of effort to get this thing."

"There are also the Magical Codex of Plato and Socrates, which I found in a temple."

Calvin had a sneer on his face. He had all the remaining magic manuscripts of Plato and Socrates in the world. This smuggler had so many ghosts in his hands that he didn't even draft any lies.

"Of course, there is also a dragon egg, tsk. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of trouble in the UK recently, and this dragon egg fell into my hands." The smuggler said regretfully.

Upon hearing the dragon egg, Hagrid perked up.

After the card game was over, Hagrid invited the smuggler for a drink.

"This wine is really good!" The smuggler drank a whole glass of rum. "Thank you, friend. What do you do?"

"Me? I'm the gamekeeper of Hogwarts." Hagrid drank a large glass of mead and said, "Everyone who knows me knows this."

"Hunting grounds? I deal with many hunting grounds. You know, they occasionally sell some interesting things." The smuggler began to brag again, "What about you, do you have anything good?"

"Why are you asking these?" Hagrid's cheeks were already a little drunk.

"Tell me, there are really good things, and the price is negotiable. If you don't believe me, I can treat you to a drink or give you some galleons." The smuggler bought a bottle of whiskey from the counter and poured it for Hagrid. big cup.

"I heard, Hiccup, I heard that you have a dragon egg there." Hagrid drank the whiskey and became more and more drunk.

"Ah, I have a dragon egg. Recently, the Ministry of Magic has been strictly investigating it, and I haven't been able to take action."

Hagrid was a little excited and said excitedly: "If that's your original intention, my original intention is..."

"Let's play cards." The smuggler said, "If you can beat me ten times, I will give you the dragon egg. If you lose once, give me 10 Galleons. Of course, if you lose I gave you the dragon egg ten times. You know a dragon egg is worth more than a hundred galleons."
