Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

Harry's face suddenly became a little ugly, his mouth moved, and he couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"It's over, Gryffindor will lose this game. Snape will definitely try to help Slytherin." As Ron blurted out his complaints, the expression on Harry's face became even uglier.

Hermione was angry at the result of Snape's refereeing, because the last time she saw Snape silently cast a spell on Harry's broom, although Brian had explained that it could not be Snape's behavior, the three Not believing that Snape had good intentions at all, she proposed to tell Professor McGonagall.

Harry shook his head and said, "No, it's useless. Like Hagrid said, we have no evidence to doubt a professor, and Professor McGonagall won't believe it."

"Then you don't participate in the competition," Hermione said firmly, "just say you are sick."

"Yeah, Harry, listen to Hermione this time." Ron nodded repeatedly, "Snape will kill you."

"There's no substitute Seeker on the team. If I quit, the Gryffindor team won't be able to play." Harry felt a little embarrassed. "Where's Brian? Ask him what he thinks."

Only then did Hermione remember what she wanted to ask Brian this morning, and asked Harry and Ron, "Where is Brian, where did he go?"

With a bitter look on Harry's face, he said, "I don't know either."

......

"Snape is the referee?" Brian looked at Harry in surprise, and said lightly, "You just need to participate in the competition. No matter how brave Snape is, he wouldn't dare to assassinate you in front of Dumbledore."

Hermione glared at him and said, "What if? What if Snape really did something to Harry?..."

Brian had just come out of the Room of Requirement, and was almost caught by the Iron Triangle who was looking for him everywhere. At this moment, he was also a little guilty and couldn't resist Hermione's relentless pursuit of the question, and he hesitated and couldn't say anything.

Harry sighed, and said, "Let's ask Hagrid, I can only trust him in Hogwarts."

Hermione and Ron nodded, and Brian frowned slightly. Even though he was very reluctant, he was caught out this time, so he had to go with the three of them.

By the way, I would like to thank Hagrid for his help last time!

The four of them soon came to Hagrid's hut. Brian saw Hagrid's exquisite wooden house for the first time. The pine boards were split into clean and neat thin strips to piece together the surrounding walls, and the simple light yellow wooden roof was about It has an area of ​​ten meters square.

It was just a little strange, at this moment all the curtains around were drawn tightly, and smoke was billowing from the chimney. When Harry stepped forward to knock on the door, Hagrid had to check repeatedly before letting him into the room.

As soon as Brian entered the door, he could feel the steam and heat waves rushing towards his face, which made people feel suffocated and suffocated for a while.The other three frowned unconsciously. The whole room was hot like an oven, and after a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"Oh, Brian's here too." Hagrid brought a large bowl of rock cakes and stoat sandwiches to the table, and made a pot of tea by the way.

"What do you want from me?" Hagrid said with a flushed face and some embarrassment. The temperature in the room was so high that he kept wiping his sweat.

"Yes," Harry asked, "it's still about Snape,..."

"Hagrid, why don't you open the window. It's too hot in the room!" Ron complained, about to open the window.

Hagrid hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ron, and explained with a smile: "It's been too cold recently, I seem to have a cold. Harry, I told you, Snape is a professor at the school, he is absolutely impossible Hit you! You eat quickly, and go back after eating."

Harry and Hermione finally realized that something was wrong. They could clearly feel that Hagrid was extremely nervous at the moment, and his movements seemed awkward.This series of weird behaviors made the two of them more suspicious, until Hermione followed Brian's gaze and saw the black egg lying in the middle of the fire.

"Hagrid, what's that?" Hermione asked, pointing to the center of the fire.

The expression on Hagrid's face changed no less than ten times in just a few seconds. He swallowed nervously, grabbed the sweat towel with one hand, and the teacup with the other, and said awkwardly, "That's... ..that's...an egg."

His eyes flickered, and he replied vaguely. Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed, "Please, Hagrid, of course we know it's an egg, but the question is, which species' egg is it?"

Hagrid's knees trembled violently, and his fingers trembled under the gaze of Hermione and Harry. He was about to speak when he heard Ron's voice from behind.

"Wow, this is definitely a dragon egg! It looks like a fire dragon egg!"

Hagrid was stunned, and suddenly his eyes widened and he stood up suddenly and turned around. Ron and Brian were squatting next to the boiler and carefully studying the huge dragon egg.

"Hagrid, where did you get this thing? This thing must cost a lot of money." Ron shouted excitedly.Harry also became interested, and leaned forward to watch the magical species he had never seen before.

Hagrid sat on the ground, covering his cheeks, it was obvious that he couldn't hide it.His eyes looked a little dull, and he explained in a low voice: "I won it last night playing cards, last night..."

From the time Ron discovered the dragon egg to now, his eyes have never left this dark dragon egg.He said excitedly, "This is so cool! Hagrid, when will it hatch?"

Hermione reminded worriedly: "What should I do when he hatches?"

Hagrid pointed to a large pile of dragon raising books borrowed from the library on the table, and patted his chest to ensure that he had been reading recently and would definitely be able to take good care of a dragon without making any mistakes.

"Hagrid, it's against the law to keep a fire dragon in captivity. If you are found out, you will definitely be imprisoned in Azkaban." Hermione reminded her. Her suggestion is to get rid of this dragon egg immediately, lest Hagrid So suffer.

"I'll be careful, and I won't let anyone notice." A smile appeared on Hagrid's face, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes, "I've wanted to raise a dragon for a long time!"

Hermione wanted to persuade him again, but Brian comforted him: "Forget it, Hermione, it's too late now. Once the fire dragon eggs start hatching, we can't stop. We'd better wait for Hagrid to hatch him and raise him up." Send it away."

"Yeah, Hermione, Brian is right." Ron agreed. Although his brother Charlie is a professional dragon researcher, this is the first time he has seen a fire dragon, so naturally he doesn't want to lose the opportunity in vain. "We can secretly raise it and send it to my brother Charlie, who will take good care of it."

"Yeah, Hermione, Brian and Ron are right!"
