Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

Hermione flipped through the books about dragons on the table and said with some confusion: "These are all books about raising dragons. Is Hagrid planning to raise a dragon?"

Harry replied: "Hagrid told me when we first met that he had always wanted to raise a dragon. Don't you think raising a dragon is a cool thing?"

Ron retorted: "But raising dragons is illegal. Since 1709, the Prohibition of Dragon Raising Act has been officially passed, which prohibits wizards from raising dragons privately, especially if they raise dragons in manors, which can easily be discovered by Muggles. And Dragons are bad-tempered creatures, and the scars on Charlie’s body were all caused by wild dragons in Romania.”

"I heard from my father that the Ministry of Magic has also raised a group of 'secret memory cancellation troops' specifically to deal with Muggles seeing dragons. They not only erase the memories of Muggles, but I heard that they will also arrest those who secretly sell dragons and dragons. Dark wizards who use dragon eggs. Dragon eggs are Class A restricted trade items strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. Even if they are available on the black market, they are very expensive and certainly not something Hagrid can afford."

After hearing Ron's retort, Harry was a little confused: "Why? Every student can obviously buy a pair of dragon leather gloves, and an ounce of dragon liver only costs one galleons, and I met you at Ollivander's Wand Shop." Many wands have dragon nerves added to them, why is such a common thing so strictly regulated?"

Ron continued to explain: "It's very simple. Most of the dragon products on the market are sub-dragon products, and they are not pure blood dragons."

"As for Ollivander's Wand Shop, he is an exception. Wands have special meaning to wizards. Ollivander's Wand Shop works closely with the Ministry of Magic. It is not surprising to get real dragon nerves. Although Hagrid He guards the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, but it really doesn’t look like he has a way to get a dragon egg.”

After hearing Ron's explanation, Harry still said seriously: "But Hagrid has really always wanted to raise a dragon. What if he can get one?"

Hermione was a little confused by the discussion between Harry and Ron: "If it's not to raise dragons, what is Hagrid looking for these books for?"

Chen Yu spread his hands: "It's useless to think about it here. Let's go see it and find out. Ron just got tired of reading, so we should take a rest."

Everyone agreed with Chen Yu's words and stood up to leave, but they were all stopped by the librarian, Mrs. Pingsi.

She stared at the four people fiercely like a vulture, and said nothing, just pointing at the books that Ron had randomly discarded on the table.

"Oh, sorry."

Ron, who knew he was in the wrong, shrank his neck.

Everyone put the books back on the bookshelves before Mrs. Pince let them leave.

The group of four soon arrived at Hagrid's hut.

Different from the peaceful hut in the past, white smoke was constantly coming out of the chimney of the hut. It looked like Hagrid was lighting a fire for cooking.

Chen Yu led the team and knocked on Hagrid’s wooden door.

As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat hit my face.

Harry and Ron felt a little uncomfortable. It was too hot in the room. Even though it was April, the weather outside was relatively mild, and there was still a fierce flame burning on the fireplace.

Less than two minutes after I came in, I started to sweat.

After Chen Yu entered the door, he looked around and was secretly happy when he saw the big black egg roasting on the flames on the fireplace.

After Hagrid enthusiastically led the four little wizards into the door, he prepared to put dried meat made from stoats in bread to make sandwiches for them.

Although Chen Yu felt that he could eat well, compared with Hagrid, he seemed to pale in comparison.

Forget about this kind of sandwich made with stoat. Chen Yu said he didn't appreciate it.

The four declined politely.

When the four refused, Hagrid was not angry. Instead, he made a cup of strong tea for each of the four young wizards, placed pieces of rock cake and other dried meats on the table, and then placed the pot next to the table. , sat down, and his huge body just blocked the sight of the young wizards, preventing them from noticing the big black egg behind them.

"Come and have something to eat! You're welcome. Chen Yu, I remember you said you just threw the meat and cakes into the pot to cook, right?"

After the last case of meat buns, Harry, Ron and Hermione also knew how to eat rock cakes, and they all helped Hagrid throw the rock cakes and dried meat into the iron pot to cook.

As the number of people in the room increased, another cooking stove was added to the room, and the temperature in the room began to continue to increase.

After a while, the whole room felt like a sauna, and the faces of several young wizards turned red from the heat.

Ron couldn't stand it at first and was about to open the window to ventilate, but was stopped by Hagrid.

The three of them noticed that something was wrong with Hagrid. He seemed to be in a hurry, and he would rather wipe his sweat over and over in a hot house like a sauna than open the window for ventilation.

"Hagrid, what are you doing making the room so hot?"

Ron complained dissatisfiedly.

"I can't help it. I've had a cold recently. I feel better only if I'm in a warm place."

As he spoke, Hagrid pretended to cough a few times, and then looked at the meat and rock biscuits cooking in the pot.

"It looks like it's almost cooked and ready to eat."

"You all still have homework to finish in the afternoon, right? Go back as soon as you finish eating."

This made Harry, Ron, and Hermione suspicious.

Harry didn't want to just go back, he wanted to figure out a lot of things.

He began to think of ways to trick Hagrid, trying to figure out what mechanism guarded the Sorcerer's Stone.

With some childish flattery from Ron and Hermione, Hagrid told everyone that every professor had set up a trap under the wooden door.

Chen Yu had some doubts that Hagrid might have revealed these words on purpose.

Even though Hagrid does seem a bit honest, as a person with more than 60 years of life experience, it is unlikely that a first-year wizard can easily trick him out of words.

Maybe, this was all part of Dumbledore's plan and part of his plan to cultivate a savior.

It's just that Dumbledore thought at most that Quirrell was being instigated by others or that he wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. He never expected that Voldemort would possess Quirrell's head.

Otherwise, with Dumbledore's character, he would never have allowed Harry to face Voldemort directly at such a young age.

What is the difference between this and a novice hero who leaves the village and sees the final boss blocking the entrance to the novice village?

If his mother, Lily Potter, hadn't cast a magical spell on Harry called the "Guardian Charm" so that Quirrell couldn't touch Harry, "Harry Potter" would have had a different protagonist.

While Harry, Ron and Hermione were trying to divert Hagrid's attention, Chen Yu had already come behind Hagrid and carefully observed the big black egg in the center of the stove.

"Is this a dragon egg? It's black and doesn't look very pretty."

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Hagrid suddenly stood up excitedly and turned around to look at Chen Yu.

Only then did Harry, Ron, and Hermione peek through the gap in Hagrid's huge body and see a big black egg about the same size as their own heads lying in the center of the fire, under the kettle.

Harry asked the same question as Chen Yu, and asked Hagrid: "Is this really a dragon egg?"

"This is..." Hagrid twirled his beard uneasily, speaking evasively, as if trying to find a way to get past it.

Ron squatted by the stove and looked at the big egg carefully. He wanted to touch the big egg with his fingers, but considering the temperature of the flame below, he gave up the idea.

"Why is this dragon egg different from what I imagined? Charlie told me that some dragon eggs look full of scales and mighty, but this one looks too ordinary."

Harry and Hermione also knelt down to look at the dragon eggs in the fire.

After the novelty of the dragon egg wore off, Ron stood up and asked Hagrid, "This dragon egg must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

“It didn’t cost anything, it was earned!”

When mentioning the dragon egg experience, Hagrid happily recounted his experience yesterday: "Yesterday, I was drinking in the village, and a stranger came to play cards. He lost the dragon egg to me."

"Dragon eggs are contraband. To be honest, I think that person was probably eager to find a way to get rid of them! I just got a big advantage."
