Quirrell must be even more useless than they thought.In the weeks that followed, he looked increasingly pale and thin, always looking like he was about to collapse, but the Philosopher's Stone remained safe.

Every time they passed the corridor, Ron and Hermione would put their ears to the door to hear if Lu Wei was still roaring inside.Snape strode up and down the school all day, as bad-tempered as ever.

Hermione had more things to worry about than the Philosopher's Stone.She's already started making a review plan and color-coded all her notes.She kept nagging Ron to do the same, and she even went to Slytherin to find Goyle and Crabbe and persuade them to eat less snacks and read more books, causing the two big men to see her Just turn the corner.

"Hermione, the exam is hundreds of years away," said Ron.

"Ten weeks," retorted Hermione, "not hundreds of years. For Nicolas, it's just the blink of an eye."

"But we're not six hundred years old," Ron reminded her, "and, anyway, why are you revising, you already know everything."

"Why am I reviewing are you crazy do you know that we have to pass these exams to get into the second grade they are very important, I should have started reviewing a month ago, I don't know what happened to me... ..." Hermione said angrily.

The teachers seemed to have the same idea as Hermione.They have a lot of homework, and the Easter holiday is not nearly as fun as Christmas.After all, with Hermione reciting the twelve uses of dragon's blood all the time, or practicing the movements of the wand, it is difficult for you to rest easily.

Ron took the rare initiative to invite Draco to review together, he really needed someone to help him distract Hermione's firepower.

"I'll never remember this! How did you manage to remember that, Harry?" Finally, one afternoon, Ron couldn't take it anymore and threw the quill away.He stared helplessly out the window of the library.

For the first time in months, they had such fine weather.The sky was clear and clear, blue like the color of forget-me-not flowers, and there was a breath of summer in the air.

Harry just immersed himself in the "Advanced Potion Making" sent by Snape: "If you keep practicing, you will also master this skill."

Ron muttered dissatisfiedly, "You think everyone is as weird as you."

Hermione patted Ron's head with the book: "Then you can learn from me, hard work can make up for it!"

Suddenly Draco said, "What is that half-giant doing in the library?"

Ron had already yelled, "Hagrid!"

Harry looked up as Hagrid came stomping over, hiding something behind him.He was wearing the exquisite fur coat Harry had given him, and he looked quite refined.

"Look around," said Hagrid, with an evasive voice that caught their interest right away.

"Hush -" said Hagrid, "Listen - come find me later."

"See you later, then," said Harry.

Hagrid stomped away.

"What is he hiding behind his back?" Hermione said thoughtfully, "Do you think it has something to do with the Sorcerer's Stone?"

Draco, who had disappeared as soon as Hagrid came over just now, came back, holding a large pile of books in his arms, and threw them heavily on the table. "Dragon!" he whispered. "That half-giant is looking up information on dragons! Look at these: Species of Dragons in Great Britain and Ireland, From the Hatch to Nirvana, A Guide to Raising Dragons."

"Hagrid always wanted a dragon, he's said it many times," said Hermione.

"But it's against the law," Draco said. "At the Wizarding Conference of [-], the ban on keeping dragons was officially passed, and everyone knows that. If we keep dragons in our back garden, It's hard not to have Muggles noticing us."

"Also, you can't tame them, it's dangerous. You should really see those burns on Charlie's body, they're all left by wild dragons in Romania," said Ron.

"But aren't there any wild dragons in England?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," said Draco, "there are common Welsh green dragons and Hebridin black dragons. I can tell you that the Ministry of Magic has a job of hiding the existence of these wild dragons. Our wizards often have to show them The Muggles at Wild Dragon cast a spell to make them forget about it."

"So what the hell is Hagrid trying to do?" said Hermione.

An hour later they knocked on the door of the gamekeeper's hut, joined by Draco, whose fascination with dragons trumped his distaste for half-giants.

All the curtains in Hagrid's cabin were drawn tightly.Hagrid first yelled "Who is that?" He was surprised when he saw Draco, he hesitated a little before letting them in, and then quickly turned around and closed the door.

The cabin was suffocatingly hot.Although it was such a warm sunny day, there was still a strong fire burning in the fireplace.Hagrid made them tea and ferret sandwiches, which they declined politely.

"So—do you have something to ask me?" Hagrid said, looking at the faces of his friends.

"Yes." Harry replied, no need to beat around the bush. "Can you tell us, besides Lu Wei, what mechanism is there to guard the Philosopher's Stone?"

Hagrid frowned at them. "Of course I can't tell," he said. "First, I don't know. Second, you know too much already, so I wouldn't tell you if I did. "

"Oh, Hagrid, you must know. Nothing that happens here escapes your notice," said Hermione in a sweet, flattering tone.Hagrid's beard twitched, and they could tell he was smiling. "Actually, we just want to know who designed those organs." Hermione continued, "We want to know, besides you, who else does Dumbledore trust to help him?"

Hearing these last words, Hagrid puffed out his chest.Harry and Ron smiled approvingly at Hermione.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you - let me think about it - he borrowed Fluffy from me - and then asked a few other teachers to cast a spell...Professor Sprout - Flitwick Professor—Professor McGonagall—" he pointed with his fingers, "Professor Quirrell—Of course, Dumbledore himself was enchanted. Wait a minute, I forgot one more person. Oh, yes, yes Professor Nepe."

"Snape?" Hermione said in surprise, "And Quirrell?!"

"Yeah, don't you guys still doubt Snape? Look, he also helped protect the Philosopher's Stone. He won't steal it." Hagrid said naturally.

"No, we don't suspect him anymore," said Harry. "Hagrid, can we open a window? I'm so hot."

"No, Harry, I'm sorry," said Hagrid, and Harry noticed him glance towards the fireplace.Harry turned to look at the fire, too.

"Hagrid, what's that?" Harry asked.

In fact, he already knew that there was a big black egg lying in the middle of the fire, under the kettle.Draco had been staring at the egg since he entered the door.

"Heh," Hai Ge twirled his beard anxiously, not knowing how to answer, "That's—oh..."

"Where did you get it, Hagrid?" Ron asked bluntly, and he and Draco squatted by the fire to get a closer look at the big egg. "It must have cost you a lot of money!"

"Win it," said Hagrid triumphantly. "Last night, I was drinking in the village and playing cards with a stranger. To be honest, the man probably just wanted to get rid of it."

"But what are you going to do when it hatches?" Draco asked eagerly.

"Oh, I've been reading," said Hagrid, pulling a large tome from under his pillow, "Borrowed from the library—Keeping Dragons for Fun and Profit—of course , it's a bit outdated, but it's pretty informative. Put the eggs in the fire because their mother breathes on them. You see, it says here, after it hatches, feed it a bucket every half hour Chicken blood in brandy. Look here again—how to tell the difference—I got a Norway Ridgeback. Rare.”

He looked smug, and Hermione reminded him, "Hagrid, don't forget you live in a log house," she said.

But Hagrid wasn't listening at all, humming happily as he fiddled with the fire.

Well, now Hermione has something new to worry about: what will happen to Hagrid if someone finds out he's keeping dragons illegally in his cabin?

Ron looked at the egg intently. He casually comforted Hermione and said, "Maybe it can be sent to Charlie. He is raising dragons in Romania."

This egg will not hatch today, and Hermione, who has satisfied her curiosity, will drive everyone back to study immediately.

She announced loudly: "Okay gentlemen, it's library time!"

Ron immediately wailed, and Draco also reluctantly stared at the black egg in the fire.No one wanted to heed Hermione's call.

Hermione didn't care about that, she strode over to the fire and roughly picked up Ron and Draco's ears, which were red from her tearing.

Ron screamed in pain, and Draco immediately felt that he was seriously offended, and he yelled at Hermione angrily: "Let go, you dirty mudblood!"

However, Hermione acted as if she didn't hear it, and her expression didn't change at all.Her strength was suddenly amazing, and she grabbed the two boys by their ears with each hand and strode towards the door.Both Ron and Draco couldn't get away from her, and could only maintain a funny position, being dragged away from the fire by Hermione.

Harry was standing by the door, watching the scene dumbfounded.

"Get out of the way!" Hermione yelled at Harry aggressively, "Then follow me!"

Draco and Ron were dragged by Hermione's hands, and they looked at Harry for help.

Harry looked up to admire the woodwork on the ceiling, pretending not to hear the distress calls from the two boys.He didn't dare to offend such a mighty Hermione.

In the library, Ron sighed heavily: "I really want to know what a peaceful and peaceful life is like."

Night after night, Ron struggled to complete the pile of homework assigned by the professors.And Hermione had already started making study plans for everyone, which was driving him crazy.

Draco was unwilling to accept Hermione's urging at first, and he could do well by himself, but then he gave up his insistence, and joined Hermione's team with the reluctant Crabbe and Goyle. studying group.

"Why don't I enjoy Granger's services for free, since there are less labor-intensive ways?" he said to Harry.

Harry just smiled and helped Hermione make a review plan for everyone.
