From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 31: What Happened More Than a Hundred Years Ago
Ivy thought Hagrid would sympathize with the middle-aged wizard who rode in the carriage with him but died in the dragon's mouth, but she didn't expect that he would be concerned about the enslaved fire dragon first.

So he decided to change the focus when telling his legendary story.

"When we fell from the carriage, the key Professor Figo brought was gleaming with ancient magic. It was a portkey, and it could open a vault in Gringotts."

"What's a Portkey?" Harry interrupted Ivy.

"A magical item that allows you to travel quickly between two places, but it is usually a one-time use." Ivy explained briefly and then continued, "In the vault of Gringotts, I saw ancient magic for the first time, and also understood for the first time who my enemy was - the rebellious goblin Lanlock."

"He brought many of his goblin subordinates with him, and each of them wore magical equipment made of goblin magic silver. Fortunately, in the vault of Gringotts, there were golems left behind by the ancient guardians of magic. With their help, Professor Figo and I returned to Hogwarts safely."

"Things will be much simpler after the sorting. I'll finish my studies while saving the world. Just like all the destined saviors." Ivy shrugged and joked.

"All the saviors?" Ron asked. "You make them sound so easy that I want to try them!"

"Hahaha." Ivy laughed, and then continued meaningfully, "Besides saving the world and attending classes, my favorite thing to do is to rescue magical animals in the Forbidden Forest."

"Save magical creatures?" Hagrid repeated, eyes wide. "From poachers? I drive poachers out of the Forbidden Forest every year!"

"Yes, it's poachers. Because the laws at the time were not perfect, and the British wizarding world was busy dealing with rebellious goblins, they had no manpower to crack down on poachers. This led to them even forming a very influential organization, the infamous Flame Ash Snakes." Ivy couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw Hagrid clenching his fists and an indignant expression on his face.

"The Fire Ash Snakes are capable of doing almost anything evil. They capture magical animals in cages and collect their fur and horns, not to mention their special body tissues that contain considerable magical power."

"Greedy scum, villain! They all deserve to go to hell!" Hagrid seemed to think of the tragic end of those captured magical animals, and cursed with spit flying, "Tell me, Ivy, you must have saved those poor little creatures, right?"

"Of course." Ivy nodded. "With the help of a classmate, we tracked down the Fire Ash Snake Party in the Forbidden Forest and rescued the abused Hippogriff, the cute Moon Beast, the endangered Golden Snidget, and the Fire Dragon."

"Fire dragon!" Ron shouted excitedly, "How did you do it? It's a monster that can fly and breathe fire!" "This is also thanks to the Fire Ash Snake Party." Ivy unfolded his memories, "At that time, the Fire Ash Snake Party colluded with the goblins, and controlled many magical animals with powerful magical powers through the goblin magic silver, and set up a huge tent somewhere in the Scottish Highlands. Criminals from all over the world went here with portkeys, wearing masks to trade various black magic props and smuggling magical animals that were not allowed by law. They even operated a magical animal arena, letting those magical animals wearing goblin magic silver collars fight each other in exchange for people's cheers and tickets."

Hagrid was almost stunned. This big man with a simple and kind heart had never thought that human beings could really be so bad.

Several people in the cabin held their breath and listened quietly to Ivy's statement. Even the big dog Yaya, who looked ferocious but was actually honest, stopped panting and stared at Ivy.

"When we sneaked into the tent of the Fire Ash Snake Party, a duel was taking place in the middle of the venue. The opponents were a Welsh Green Dragon and a Hungarian Horntail Dragon." Ivy continued, "They both looked bad. They were covered with scars and their wings were tattered. There were also many old wounds that had turned into hideous scars on their bodies. It is estimated that they have been in that tent for a long time."

"But even though they were covered in wounds, the two dragons looked very ferocious. The constant sounds of flames and biting, mixed with the cheers of the wizards who came to watch their performance, made the whole scene look creepy." Ivy lowered his voice. The flame in the fireplace flickered due to lack of fuel. The firelight and shadows danced on everyone's face, making the atmosphere in the cabin even more weird.

"Those fire dragons were controlled by the goblin's magic silver collars, and the collars were also flashing with an ominous magic. I know exactly what it is—ancient magic that was distorted by Lanlock!"

"I used the Disillusionment Charm to sneak into the tent and saw many dragon eggs inside. I immediately understood what the Fire Ash Snake Party was doing. They were stealing dragon eggs to make angry mother dragons lose their minds, and then ambushed them to subdue them and turn them into money-making tools."

"In the deepest part of the tent, I saw a purple dragon egg. It was the egg of a black dragon from the Hebdi Islands, and the owner of the dragon egg was also imprisoned there. It seemed that because she was just captured, the Fire Ash Snake Party had not had time to put a collar on her. They just tied her up in the middle of the venue with cast iron and chains."

"A brilliant idea suddenly popped up in my mind! I want to free them and use these angry big guys to deal with the Fire Ash Snake Party!"

Ivy heard several people in the room cheering secretly. Hagrid was drinking tea nervously, but he didn't even notice that the tea had spilled on his beard, because his black beetle-like eyes were staring at Ivy!
"The fire dragon's scales are very hard and have good resistance to magic. The only weaknesses are the eyes and nose. Fortunately, I don't have to deal with the fire dragons. I just need to set them free. So I used magic to unlock the device that bound the black dragon of the Hebdi Islands, and burned a big hole in the tent before she got angry."

"So, amid the roar of the fire dragon and the screams of the Fire Ash Snake Party, the entire tent was burned down, and all the magical animals imprisoned inside escaped! The Hebdi Islands Black Dragon was particularly terrifying. I saw with my own eyes that she swallowed up a member of the Fire Ash Snake Party and burned all the wizards who besieged her into charcoal! But watching them fly into the sky and regain their freedom, I felt that everything was worth it."

After hearing that all the dragons were rescued, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Hagrid even burst into tears: "Huff - (violent nose blowing) I knew you were a good boy! Ivy! Thank you... Thank you for saving them..."
