Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Perhaps because the fire dragon eggshell is harder than normal, although cracks have appeared, it does not show any signs of breaking completely.

Newt put them in a strange-looking box with a cross-metal mesh at the bottom. He also asked Norbert to help him spit flames from time to time to heat the dragon eggs.

Kyle looked at this scene and felt that it looked familiar, and it seemed like something was missing.

Like... cumin and chili powder and stuff like that.

Then let Newt brush some oil on the eggs, and he will be like a skilled barbecue chef.

Just as he was thinking about it, Newt actually took out a brush.

He certainly wasn’t hungry and wanted to bake himself some snacks… Besides, the brush wasn’t filled with oil, but with juice extracted from the babo tuber and the flower of the cactus.

According to Newt, this thing can distribute the flames more evenly on the dragon egg, helping the dragon inside to hatch faster.

Newt squatted there all night, until the next morning, when two fist-sized fire dragons crawled out of the eggshells.

“Look, they’re actually pretty healthy, aren’t they?” Newt said with a smile, trying to pick them up.

But the two little guys, who didn't even open their eyes, dodged subconsciously. They staggered towards Kyle... No, it should be Norbert behind Kyle.

To be honest, it was the first time that Kyle saw such clear fear on a fire dragon's face, mixed with a bit of panic.

It was as if what were walking toward him were not baby dragons but two hundred-foot-tall Hungarian Horntails.

Norbert retracted his neck in panic. Because he was too anxious, he knocked over many things along the way, making the room a mess.

Then it flew away at the fastest speed and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving only the two little guys crying anxiously in the place.

"They must have gotten used to Norbert's flames and thought of her as their mother." Newt shook his head and explained, "But fire dragons are very intelligent. They will soon realize the difference between themselves and the Norwegian Spinosaurus."

Kyle couldn't help but reach out and touch the slightly larger Ukrainian iron belly and asked, "What should I feed them, chicken blood and brandy?"

"I guess you must have read the book 'How to Tam a Dragon'," Newt said, "This food is indeed suitable for feeding young dragons, but to be honest, it's a bit outdated.

"And it's hard for dragons to find a whole barrel of brandy in the forest or on the cliff to feed their cubs."

"So what should I prepare?" Kyle asked.

“Usually, dragons would crush up the flame stones and mix them with their meat before feeding them,” Newt said.

The so-called flame stone, also known as fire stone, is simply the stone in the fire dragon's lair that has been burned by dragon flames for a long time, and has been continuously melted and condensed.

This special stone will continuously emit high temperature after coming into contact with dragon flames. It is the favorite of fire dragons. The more flame stones there are in the nest, the more powerful the fire dragon living there is.

How should I put it, it’s a bit like what Galleon means to wizards.

Although this kind of thing sounds very high-end, it is of no use to wizards. It can only be used in a very small number of unpopular alchemy techniques.

As for Flame Stone...

Kyle thought about it and felt that there seemed to be such a thing in the cave where Norbert lived. He had seen it before when he put gold coins in it.

"I'll go get it now, but I don't know if it's enough." Kyle said and was about to run out.

"Don't worry." Newt stopped him and said with a smile: "If you take away the flame stone of the Norwegian Spinosaurus, she will probably get angry. In fact, we have a better choice."

"what?"

"It would be best to mix in some fire ash snake eggs. This kind of thing can help the fire dragon get through its infancy faster." Newt thought for a moment and said, "If you can't find any, a fire lizard tail or a fire crab shell will also work."

"Hmm..." Kyle opened his mouth.

He didn't have any of the things Newt mentioned. The salamander tail was easy enough, but the other two were really hard to find.

Kyle looked at Newt, blinked and smiled.

"Don't look at me like that." Newt's heart skipped a beat. "That's your dragon, and there are dragon sanctuaries like this. You can just take the contract and go over there. Isn't it written there? They will cover all the expenses of raising your dragon."

"But there is still some time before the contract takes effect." Kyle continued to smile, "And they are only responsible for the food of the other two dragons. These two are not covered by the contract."

"Then buy it yourself," Newt said. "You shouldn't be short of money."

"I'm short of it now." Kyle sighed, "I only have over a thousand Galleons left, and I want to open a store.

"Besides, you hatched them after all, you can't just ignore them."

Newt's mouth hung open.

He now finally understood Kyle's intention in coming to see him. Did he treat his place as a cafeteria?

But seeing Kyle's rogue look, and the fact that he really wanted to study these two dragons, Newt had no choice but to agree.

Kyle couldn't help but laugh out loud after getting the answer he wanted.

Newt sighed quietly.

It is very expensive to raise a fire dragon. They are often dozens of feet tall and big, which is all due to their food, especially young fire dragons.

Because they need to grow as quickly as possible, grow harder dragon scales and store dragon flames in their bodies, their bodies are like a bottomless pit. Every day they are either eating or on their way to eat.

Newt still remembers the first dragon he raised. At that time, there was a period of time when he could hardly afford to eat. He could only eat a piece of dry bread mixed with water for two days.

Although the current situation is certainly different from what it was then, Newt still has a trauma. What's more, this time he not only has to raise two dragons, but one of them is Iron Belly, which is considered a big eater among fire dragons.

The reason for this name is that it has an iron belly. It not only eats a lot, but also digests food quickly. Even when it is just hatched, it can eat an entire cow leg that is bigger than itself.

Of course, Newt wasn't worried about these things. What he was worried about were the fire ash snake eggs and salamander tails that he had saved with great difficulty.

Two fire dragons, how much do they need to eat?

Newt was thinking about whether he should go to the wasp's nest at night and knock down some flame stones.

By then, the Romanian longhorn will be raised more carefully. As for the iron belly... even if he has more good things, they are not enough for this beast, so just add more.

Newt thought to himself.

Kyle on the other side had it easy.

First of all, he definitely didn't treat Newt as a free meal ticket, but mainly because... he was worried that he wouldn't be able to take good care of the young dragon.

That's right, that's it.

Saving money is not the main purpose, it is just a side effect.

As for why he was laughing, it was just because he was thinking of something happy... He was going to own his own store soon, and he could use the extra money to buy a few better shelves, so he was naturally very happy.

"Well, I have another question..." Kyle thought for a moment and continued, "If the time converter can cause the fire dragon to hatch early, will it have any effect on other magical creatures?"

"I see." Newt looked at Kyle deeply, "I'll go check it out in a moment."

"Thanks for your hard work," Kyle said sincerely.

"But I also have a request," Newt said.

"Don't mention one, ten will do." Kyle patted his chest and said.

These words were absolutely from the heart. Even if this incident hadn't happened, he would never have refused Newt's help.

"Not so much, just one." Newt looked at the parchment with Birdman's signature again. "Won't the Fire Dragon Sanctuary give you two dragon eggs later? I hope you can ask for a lion dragon."

The Lion Dragon is the Chinese Fireball Dragon, a species unique to the East. There are not many of them in Europe. As far as Kyle knows, there are only one or two in the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve.

"Why?" Kyle asked curiously.

"Because of all the known dragons, I know the least about lion dragons," Newt said. "I've always wanted to expand the part about lion dragons in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but I never found the opportunity."

"That's impossible." Kyle asked doubtfully, "This kind of fire dragon is relatively rare in Europe. If you want to study it, you can go to its birthplace. I remember you also have Zouwu."

"That's different." Newt's face flushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed, "Because of something... I can't tell you what it is specifically, anyway, ever since something happened, I'm not very comfortable going there anymore."

"Oh, I see." Kyle nodded. Seeing Newt's conflicted look, he didn't ask any more questions.

Besides, Newt has been blacklisted by almost all countries, so it is normal that he cannot go there.

"I'm sure there will be no problem with this." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But I'm not sure whether the Fire Dragon Reserve will agree. After all, the contract only says that I will be given two dragon eggs, and it doesn't say that I can choose freely."

"Don't worry about that." Newt said, "I will go with you when the time comes. Leave the rest to me."

"That's no problem." Kyle nodded.

……

In the next few days, Newt stayed in Kyle's box most of the time. While taking care of the young dragon, he also observed other magical animals... and finally concluded that they were all fine and were not affected by the time converter.

"Perhaps it's because they are considered part of you and have gone through the complete process of going from the past to the present."

During a dinner, Newt explained, "The only exception is the dragon eggs, which only go through half of the process."

"Of course, this is just my speculation. The specific reason can probably only be explained by people who study time converters. Why don't you ask Diana?"

"Ask my mother?" Kyle couldn't help but shudder. "If she knew I bought two dragons, she would definitely kill me and my father."

"What does this have to do with Chris?"

"I have to get someone to share the damage." Kyle spread his hands, "Maybe there's still a chance I can survive. Being beaten half to death is better than being beaten to death."

The corner of Newt's mouth twitched, and he looked at Kyle silently, "Does Chris know?"

"I don't know, but I don't need to." Kyle took a bite of the grilled steak calmly, "If the same thing happened to him, he wouldn't let me go.

"I still remember that when he and Mr. Weasley were drunk as children, they trampled the hydrangeas that my mother planted at the door."

"He said you did it?"

"That's not the case." Kyle shook his head, "But he tricked me into it and took my shoes with petals stuck on them as evidence."

"Okay." Newt closed his mouth silently and stopped talking.

……

A few days later, Kyle began to feel a little bored. Mainly because Newt was responsible for taking care of the dragon, he really had nothing to do.

I wanted to help in Newt's box, but found that those tasks had already been done by the increasingly skilled Dobby. However, on the small island in the middle of the lake not far away, I could always hear bursts of resentful whimpering, which was quite scary at night.

Kyle remembered that the place seemed to be the territory of the Hungarian Horntail. Although he was curious about what happened, he didn't dare to go and see it without Newt.

After all, the Hungarian Horntail is known for its bad temper, and he has the scent of other fire dragons on him. If you go over to him rashly, it will probably be seen as a provocation.

In order to find something to do, Kyle walked out of the room directly after breakfast.

"Mr. Kyle, where are you going..." Dobby hurried over and asked.

"I'm going to Diagon Alley," Kyle said. "There's an empty shop there that needs cleaning."

"clean?"

Kyle didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt Dobby's eyes suddenly light up.

"Dobby is going with Sir."

"No, no." Kyle waved his hand, "It's just cleaning. Don't you have a lot of work to do?"

Ever since Newt started taking care of the two little guys, all the tasks in their box, including feeding, cleaning, and mediating fights, fell on Dobby, and his daily workload was full.

"It's okay. Mr. Scamander said he would go back today. Dobby has time to accompany Mr. Kyle to clean up."

"Okay then." Kyle thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea to bring a house-elf with him.

"I will pay you accordingly."

"How generous." Dobby's tears flowed down his cheeks, and he choked with sobs, "Mr. Kyle actually took the initiative to pay Dobby's wages."

"But no, sir." Dobby stared with two big red eyes, "Dobby is here to help you, sir. This is not a job, so I can't ask for wages."

"Then I'll treat you to some ice cream. How about hazelnut and peanut ice cream?"

As expected, Dobby started crying again, his tears falling on his jeans in patches of light and dark, just like a rain.

Kyle also didn't understand why Dobby's personality was still the same after being here for such a long time.

After finally calming down the excited house-elf, they arrived at Diagon Alley.

Kyle used a magic contract to open the door and walked in, and was immediately greeted by a strong strange odor.

He had to cast a head-bubble charm on himself to block out the strange smell.

Kyle originally wanted to put one on Dobby, but he shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it. Kyle didn't force him. He cast a whirlwind spell to ventilate the room, and then began the next cleaning work.

……

I have to say, bringing Dobby along was a wise decision.

Or as the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. House-elves are much better than wizards at cleaning. Kyle had just cleaned a small area when Dobby had already cleaned half of the house. Even the vixens in the corners and crevices were carefully picked out and thrown into a basket.

"Many little guys like to eat foxtail millet, and these are enough for them to have a full meal," Dobby explained.

"Your trip was worth it." Kyle couldn't help but say as he watched him carefully cover the bamboo basket.

But what Dobby said was not wrong. Although vixen is poisonous, for some magical animals, the poison not only has no effect, but can also add a slightly unique taste, almost like seasoning. It is still very good to eat as a snack.

With Dobby's help, the cleaning work was completed quickly. The originally dirty and dusty house was completely transformed. It was as clean as if it had been washed, and even the color was much brighter.

Kyle also kept his promise and bought Dobby an extra-large deluxe ice cream with all the nuts that could be added to it.

The elf cried again with excitement.

After cleaning, the next step is to decorate the store. But there is no rush, just take your time. Install a shelf today and get a table tomorrow. It’s perfect for killing time.

During this time, the two fire dragon cubs grew bigger and bigger... No, they can no longer be called cubs, especially the one with the iron belly, which was like an inflatable one. It grew a circle a day, and when it stood up, it was taller than Kyle, and could knock him over if it pounced on him.

A few days later, there was still no news from Dumbledore, but the magic contract on the parchment suddenly lit up.
