"Headmaster Dumbledore!"
"Huh? Oh"
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. I have nothing more to say now." Hearing Dumbledore's words, the others finally looked away. At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly said something that almost made Professor McGonagall choke.
"Millera, how about we add some Chinese dishes to our menu? A balanced diet is healthier, and the children can't always eat fried food."
Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall stared at him blankly for a long time, opening her mouth several times before finally saying nothing and nodding in agreement. As a result, the students of Hogwarts began to notice that new dishes would appear on the dining table every day.
...
"Ugh, how boring. Why did Headmaster Dumbledore take away the Mirror of Erised? Now there's nothing to look at, and I feel so empty inside." As soon as it got dark, Ron, who had already returned to the common room, started grumbling as he looked at where the Mirror of Erised used to be.
Ye Feng, who was reading a book and pondering the Transfiguration spell, looked up at him upon hearing this and said, "You've found records about the Philosopher's Stone?"
Σ(?д?lll)
As soon as Ye Feng said this, not only Ron, but Harry and Hermione also stood up abruptly.
"Ahhh! We were so focused on looking at the Mirror of Erised that we forgot we were supposed to go find Hagrid and ask him about the Philosopher's Stone."
Reminded by Ye Feng, Harry and the others finally remembered that they had things to do. However, it was already dark, and once it was completely dark, Filch would be out there catching students who hadn't returned to the common room as required. So... what did this have to do with them?
They were Gryffindor students, and what kind of Gryffindor would they be if they didn't go out at night? So they ran out without thinking, but halfway there, Harry and Hermione seemed to have thought of something and suddenly ran back, leaving Ron standing there bewildered in the wind.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing Ron's shout, Harry yelled back without turning his head, "Get the Invisibility Cloak!"
Hermione was much more direct. She rushed to Ye Feng's side, snatched the book from his hands, put it on the table next to him, and then grabbed Ye Feng's hand and pulled him up.
“Aren’t you always collecting all sorts of magical items? Hagrid is a magical creature keeper; I think you’ll really enjoy what he has to offer.”
Ye Feng was surprised that Hermione turned around and wanted to take him with her. Moreover, she noticed that he had been collecting various magical items. This warmed Ye Feng's heart. He was right about Hermione; she was indeed a kind and righteous girl.
Nighttime outings were already second nature to Ye Feng and his companions. Moreover, Ye Feng had already become familiar with Lady Loris, and with their invisibility cloaks and invisibility talismans, sneaking out of the castle was no problem for them at all.
Hagrid is the keeper of magical creatures at Hogwarts, and magical creatures usually live in the Forbidden Forest, so he lives on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. However, the animals in the Forbidden Forest generally do not come out, so there is no danger.
Ye Feng looked at the small house with excitement in his eyes, because this small and simple house contained immense wealth.
In the magical world, unicorn fur is basically sold by lunka. A ball of unicorn fur the size of a finger can cost at least one Galleon. In the outside world, this kind of thing, which is so rare that it's practically priceless, is used by Hagrid to weave carpets.
Suddenly, Ye Feng understood why Hogwarts could continue operating even though it didn't charge tuition fees, and why the students' meals were so good. With a treasure trove like the Forbidden Forest at their disposal, they certainly wouldn't lack money.
"Knock knock knock knock..."
While Ye Feng was pondering, Harry, who was running in the lead, had already knocked on Hagrid's door. But to Ye Feng and Harry's surprise, Hagrid, who should have been very welcoming, did not step aside to let them in after opening the door.
"I'm sorry, please don't blame me for being rude, I don't have time to play with you today."
Upon hearing Hagrid's words, an idea flashed through Ye Feng's mind.
"Hagrid's dragon egg, has it not hatched yet?"
It's no wonder Ye Feng thought that way. After all, because of his antics of taking the Mirror of Erised back to the Gryffindor common room like a TV, Harry and his friends arrived to find Hagrid much later than in the show, at least a week later.
As Ye Feng was pondering this matter, Hagrid, having finished speaking, immediately closed the door. Upon seeing this, Harry loudly proclaimed, "We know about the Philosopher's Stone!"
Hearing Harry's words, Hagrid exclaimed in surprise, opened the door, and turned to go inside. Harry followed closely behind and said, "We think Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone."
Although the part where Snape, who was clearly saving Harry during the Quidditch match, was mistakenly accused of harming Harry because of Ye Feng was omitted, because Snape was always targeting Gryffindor, Harry, and Ye Feng, Harry and the others still immediately suspected Snape of wanting to steal the Philosopher's Stone.
Harry and the others didn't know, but Hagrid, who retrieved the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts, knew quite well. So he directly denied Harry's guess and told Harry that Snape was one of the teachers who guarded the Philosopher's Stone.
Upon hearing this news, Harry's worldview crumbled. He never imagined that Snape, who had always targeted them and whom they had suspected for so long, was not the one who stole the Philosopher's Stone, but the one who guarded it.
“Harry, I suddenly have a thought. Do you think Snape is targeting you because he found out about your attempt to break into the Chamber of Secrets guarded by the three-headed dog?”
"Oh my god! You've been in contact with Fluffy? Harry, are you alright? Fluffy is cute, but it's definitely a bit too dangerous for a regular wizard." As he spoke, Hagrid grabbed Harry's shoulder and turned him around to check for any injuries.
Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Harry was unharmed, and said, "Hey, listen, whatever you do, don't go looking for Fluffy again. Nobody knows what to do except me and Dumbledore."
As soon as Hagrid said that, Harry and the other two turned to look at Ye Feng, and they remembered the 'incredibly exciting' scene from that day.
Just then, the metal barrel resting on the fireplace fire clanged. Hearing the sound, Hagrid, wearing heat-resistant gloves, went over and picked up a grayish-brown egg, placing it on the table.
At that moment, Ye Feng turned his head and glanced out the window.
"Mr. Malfoy, does Slytherin also have a tradition of nighttime outings?"
Ye Feng's words startled Harry and the others, and when they heard the footsteps quickly fading away, their hearts sank, because if Malfoy revealed what had happened here, they might be in big trouble.
As if sensing their worries, Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Malfoy was alerted by my shout as soon as he reached the window. He didn't see or hear anything."
As Ye Feng said this, he glanced at the oval object on the table that was making a knocking sound from the inside. Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and looked at Ye Feng with gratitude in his eyes.
"Thank you, Ye Feng. I, Haige, will repay you."
Ye Feng laughed when he heard Hagrid's words. Wasn't that exactly what he came out with Harry and the others for?
"Hahaha, tremble! With the materials here from Hagrid, I, Ye Feng, will finally stand up!"
Chapter 51 Sending Wolves into Sheepfolds
"Kacha~"
With a cracking sound, the blackened dragon egg exploded open, and Ye Feng saw a... winged... lizard.
Looking at the dragon in front of him, which was only slightly larger than a fist and bore a striking resemblance to a pterosaur from movies and TV shows, Ye Feng was speechless.
Although he knew that dragons in Western films and television shows looked like this, he always felt that real dragons should be more majestic and handsome. Unfortunately, reality slapped Ye Feng hard across the face, waking him up.
Western dragons are Western dragons. Even though they are called dragons from the magical world, they still look very much like lizards. This is quite different from the majestic, handsome, and imposing dragons that Ye Feng had imagined.
"I don't even want the kind of Western dragon with tons of special effects like in movies. Even just a little bit of special effects would be fine!"
Upon seeing the so-called Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon that Hagrid had roasted over a fire, Ye Feng immediately abandoned the idea of raising a dragon. However, although he was very disappointed with the dragon's appearance, Ye Feng still picked up one of the eggshells and asked Hagrid, "Hagrid, can I keep these eggshells?"
At this moment, Hagrid's entire attention was focused on the newborn dragon, whose body was still covered in traces of egg liquid. Even if Ye Feng said he wanted to empty their place, he would agree without hesitation, because he could no longer hear what Ye Feng was asking, so he instinctively nodded.
"Take it, this thing is useless."
After answering Ye Feng's question, Hagrid suddenly realized what was going on. He reached out and stroked the little dragon's head with an aunt-like smile, while looking at Ye Feng and saying, "Do you need eggshells? There are quite a lot of different kinds of eggshells in the Forbidden Forest. If you need them, I can bring you more later."
Ye Feng's eyes lit up when he heard Hagrid's words.
The only thing that could catch Hagrid's attention was the eggshell of a magical creature. Magical creatures are magical beings, and their eggs have been inside their bellies for so long, and after being hatched, they have been incubated for so long, so they would have been tainted with a lot of magical power. And these are exactly what Ye Feng needs most.
Therefore, Ye Feng immediately nodded vigorously and said loudly, "Then thank you very much, Hagrid. I will come back to collect it when you have collected more. But I won't take it for free. Next time I will bring some food for magical creatures."
"Wow~"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Hagrid exclaimed in surprise, because his little dragon had given him a mouthful of dragon fire, burning off half of his beard. But he didn't care at all and still looked at the little dragon with doting eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Feng, who had originally intended to buy some materials for Hagrid, wisely refrained from bothering him any further. After picking up all the dragon eggshells, he left with Harry and the others. Judging from Hagrid's appearance, he wouldn't have the time to deal with them anytime soon.
As Ye Feng left Hagrid's hut, he took one last, reluctant look at the dragon that was rubbing its head against Hagrid's finger.
"It's a pity it's too small to bleed much."
(?Д?)ノ
Perhaps it heard Ye Feng's murmur, or perhaps it sensed the malice in the darkness, the little dragon that Ye Feng was looking at suddenly froze, then slowly turned its head to look at Ye Feng. When Ye Feng saw the little dragon turn its head to look at him, he revealed a bright smile.
0ДQ
"Whoosh~"
Upon seeing Ye Feng's 'devilish' smile, the little dragon darted behind Hagrid and hid.
Seeing this, Ye Feng turned around with a sense of regret and left with Harry and the others. However, Ye Feng, overjoyed to have obtained the eggshell, forgot one thing: although Malfoy hadn't seen the dragon, he knew Ye Feng and the others had come out, so…
"Good evening~"
“Professor McGonagall…”
Seeing Professor McGonagall blocking their way with candles, Harry and his two friends felt their hearts sink. Professor McGonagall was a strict professor; if you made a mistake, she would deduct points regardless of whether you were from Gryffindor or not.
Just as they were wondering why Professor McGonagall was waiting for them halfway, Malfoy walked out from behind Professor McGonagall with a smug smile.
Gryffindor has an unspoken rule that if you're out at night and not caught red-handed, you're not considered to have broken the rules.
This unspoken school rule is actually known to all the teachers, which is why they pretend not to know even when they know that students are out at night, and even know who is out at night, but only if you are not caught.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng and his companions, who spent their days hunting geese, still failed in the end. They never expected that they would be reported by Malfoy, who was also out hunting at night.
Therefore, at this moment, Ye Feng and his three companions, along with Malfoy, who was still smug and unaware of what was about to happen, were led by Professor McGonagall to the bottom of the classroom podium.
"I repeat, under no circumstances are students allowed to wander around the campus at night. Therefore, as punishment, I deduct fifty points from your scores."
"Fifty points?" Ron couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing the deduction.
"Yes, fifty points each, and to prevent you from making the same mistake again, all five of you will be put in solitary confinement."
Malfoy: (?>︶<)? [?_??] Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Wait, Professor McGonagall, did I hear that right?"
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy, you heard me right. Although your intentions were good, you also violated the school rules, so you have to be punished as well."
Upon hearing Professor McGonagall's unequivocal words, Malfoy's smile vanished. But as the saying goes, smiles don't disappear, they just shift. When Ye Feng learned that the school had reformed and was no longer keeping students locked in basements, but instead having Hagrid take them to the Forbidden Forest, he nearly grinned from ear to ear.
"You should have said earlier that if we got caught nighttime wandering, we'd be sent to the forbidden forest!"
“If you had told me earlier, I would never have bribed Mrs. Lorris with dried fish, nor would I have used an invisibility talisman to hide from Filch. I would have waited for you to come and catch me every night, and I would have even come looking for you when you couldn’t find me, offering myself up for you to catch.”
Ye Feng had been eyeing the various magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest for a long time, but unfortunately he had never had a legitimate reason to go in. After all, the Forbidden Forest was, in a strict sense, part of Hogwarts' property, so Ye Feng couldn't act recklessly without permission.
But now it's all right. He didn't go into the forbidden forest on his own; he 'punished' them by making them go in, so you can't blame Ye Feng.
As for deductions, Granville's high point count isn't just for show.
It can be said that no matter how much trouble Ye Feng and Harry cause, or how many points they lose in the process, the House Cup champion will be Gryffindor when the scoring is finished, because Dumbledore has indicated that he will intervene.
When Filch brought Ye Feng and the others to Hagrid's hut, Ye Feng was excited, unlike the anxious Harry and his three companions. But when Hagrid came out, Ye Feng did something that left everyone speechless.
Ye Feng: ( ? ▽ ` )ノTap~
"Ye Feng, what are you doing with this net? You're not planning to use it to catch werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, are you?"
Hearing Malfoy's words, Ye Feng looked at Malfoy as if it were a matter of course and said, "Yes, is there a problem? It's a pity there are no adult dragons in the Forbidden Forest, otherwise I would definitely catch one to study."
Everyone laughed when Ye Feng said this, but only a certain dragon hiding in Hagrid's hut, who was less than two hours old, knew that what he said was true and that he was not joking.
"Forbidden Forest, here I come!"
