"What's wrong with him?" Daphne also noticed Hagrid's strange behavior: he seemed to be avoiding Rice and her, and he looked very suspicious.

"He wants to keep some things that are not allowed in the magical world."

"What?"

"Fire Dragon, the book he was holding just now is related to raising dragons. If you have the time and inclination, investigate which books he borrowed; you might find further evidence."

Daphne immediately got up and ran out. A few minutes later, she returned with Hagrid's borrowing list.

"The Types of Dragons in Great Britain and Ireland," "From Hatching to Rebirth," and "The Dragon Raising Guide"—just by glancing at the titles on Hagrid's reading list, Daphne was certain that Hagrid was planning to raise a fire dragon.

Daphne's reaction to Hagrid's desire to keep a dragon was: Oh.

The Greengrass family kept dragons hundreds of years ago; it's not a big deal. The Ministry of Magic currently prohibits wizards from keeping dragons simply because dragons are too easily seen by Muggles, violating the Statute of Secrecy. Hagrid lives on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, so keeping one wouldn't be a big deal, but could he really handle such a large creature?

Daphne and Rice had a remarkably similar attitude towards Hagrid's plan to raise dragons: let him raise them if he wants.

Rice was quite excited: From now on, she wouldn't need to buy raw materials for potions like dragon blood!

To this end, he excitedly prepared several potion recipes, all of which were nutritional supplements for fire dragons, in order to obtain some materials from the dragons after getting closer to Hegra.

After a brief hiatus, Rice searched for a while and finally found the book he needed among a pile of dusty books.

"The book 'The Prototypes of Medieval Fairy Tales: Every Legend Has Its Origin' looks reliable." Rice opened the book and quickly found what she wanted to read.

Daphne leaned closer and saw the title: The prototype of the three brothers - Peverell from Godric Valley.

"Godric Hollow?!" she exclaimed, immediately thinking of the Potter family living in Godric Hollow and the Invisibility Cloak in Harry's possession.

If it were just a single point, it could be a coincidence, but with this whole string of information appearing before her eyes, calling it a coincidence is a very far-fetched argument.

Rice turned to that page and began to read.

According to my research, the prototype of the legend of the three brothers is most likely the three Peverell brothers: Antioch, Cadmus and Ignotus, who were active in western England in the mid-to-late 12th century.

The three brothers were outstanding masters of Transfiguration and alchemy, enjoying high prestige in the local area (Godric Hollow). Their relationship with the legendary wizard Godric Gryffindor is unverifiable, though some believe they inherited Gryffindor's skills. The author believes this is unlikely, as the three brothers' timeline is at least a hundred years different from Gryffindor's, and Gryffindor was not known for alchemy.

The eldest of the three brothers, Antioch, possessed a powerful wand, the prototype of the Elder Wand. Its defining characteristic was that it could not be passed down through generations; its successor could only be chosen through a duel, which contributed to its infamous reputation. Historical research suggests that many wizards throughout history have claimed to have possessed the Elder Wand, but these will not be detailed here. For further research, please refer to *Dark Wizards in History, Volumes Four and Five*.

Cadmus, the second son, was an expert in alchemy and the prototype for the owner of the Resurrection Stone. It is said that the Resurrection Stone he crafted could summon phantoms of the dead. The Gauntlet family, descendants of Slytherin and one of the Twenty-Eight Pureblood Holy Families, claimed to possess the Resurrection Stone.

Ignotus, the youngest of the three brothers, possessed an invisibility cloak with exceptionally long-lasting effects. The symbol of the Three Sacred Relics on his tombstone is the strongest evidence proving that the Peverell brothers were the prototypes for the legendary Peverell brothers. His granddaughter, Éolante Peverell, married the wealthy Hardwin Porter. Éolante rarely spoke of the invisibility cloak, stating that the cloak left by her grandfather had ceased to function upon her death, suggesting that its existence is highly likely a misconception.

"Look, it's written very clearly in the book." After reading the article, Rice was almost 100% certain that what Harry had was the Invisibility Cloak, one of the three Holy Relics. Iorant inherited his grandfather's intelligence and successfully diverted public attention. In addition, the Invisibility Cloak's effect was not as dazzling as the first two Holy Relics, so it was passed down in the Potter family.

Of course, Rice was also very angry when she saw the book use the words "descendant of Slytherin".

He could roughly guess what his adopted son, Gaunt, had done while he was in a deep sleep. Confirming he wouldn't "rise from the dead," and knowing the other founders had gradually passed away, he sent his descendants to Hogwarts with the wand and other keepsakes he had left him, falsely claiming to be descendants of Slytherin. Due to the lack of informed witnesses, Hogwarts actually believed him!

Fortunately, he didn't tell Gunter where he was sleeping, otherwise how could he possibly wake up one day?

It seems like it's time for me to visit the Gaunt family. Now that they've taken over their name, it shouldn't be too much for the ancestor to ask the younger generation for a stone, right?

"Merlin!" Daphne exclaimed in astonishment. "That Potter is actually a descendant of the three brothers, and the invisibility cloak he possesses is one of the Three Deathly Hallows!"

However, after a brief moment of amazement, the filter shattered.

"But that garment doesn't look particularly special—I admit the magic enchanted upon it is almost eternal, but so what? When a regular invisibility cloak wears out, you can just buy another one."

In Daphne's eyes, the invisibility cloak was far less appealing than the other two Deathly Hallows. If she wanted to become invisible, she could either buy several invisibility cloaks or use the Disenchantment Charm that Rhys taught her—it wasn't that she couldn't afford the Deathly Hallows, but the Disenchantment was more cost-effective. The Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone, on the other hand, were different; they couldn't be bought with money.

"Any alchemical artifact that's associated with eternity can't be mediocre." Rice saw further than Daphne; he knew that the invisibility cloak's invisibility effect was probably its most insignificant function. Just like a wizard's wand, it could also be used as a kebab, but that was clearly just a passive function.

The two began discussing Harry's Invisibility Cloak, almost forgetting about Hagrid's little trick, until someone came to their door and reminded them...

"So you're saying this was from a dog bite?" Rice looked at Ron with a "Are you kidding me?" look.

Ron's expression changed several times, and his ears turned bright red. In the end, he didn't back down, insisting that the greenish wound on his hand was from a dog bite.

"Oh, that's hopeless. Just wait to die. Goodbye, I still have to do my history of magic homework." Rice delivered a triple blow to Ron, dealing a critical blow to his psyche.

Ron: Huh?!
