The King of Flags at Hogwarts

But then Bobby suddenly remembered something.

These dragon eggs aren't from the Norwegian Spinosaurus from the original story, and there's more than one. Does this mean that this little butterfly flapped its wings in Peru, and the dragon Norber, who was supposed to be born in Scotland, simply disappeared?

Chapter 38 This world is too absurd, wolves are helping sheep give birth!

Hermione and Jady waited for a while, and when Bobby didn't return, they packed up and went back to the castle.

The two of them ate quite a lot today, and they drank almost the entire pot of soup.

Back at the castle, Jady went to the Ravenclaw common room, while Hermione immediately went to find Harry and Ron.

Harry was racking his brains to finish his Transfiguration assignment, his mouth full of quill pen, almost biting off the tip of the quill pen. Clearly, he was stuck.

When he saw Hermione arrive, he felt like he had seen a savior! Of course, he wasn't the only one; Ron felt the same way.

Ron called out impatiently, "Hermione! Where have you been? Quick, let us copy your Transfiguration paper!"

Harry knew things were going to get bad. Ron was so forgetful; how many times had he asked to borrow her homework to copy before, and she had always refused?

You need to be tactful! You have to say you're borrowing it for reference!

But this time Hermione's mind was clearly not on her homework.

"You two, come with me right now, we're going to Hagrid's!"

Harry rarely saw Hermione in such a hurry, so he immediately asked, "What's wrong, Hermione?"

"Let's talk as we walk!" Hermione turned and walked away, and Harry and Ron followed without even having time to tidy up their homework spread out on the table.

“I was having dinner with Bobby and the others by the lake just now,” Hermione quickly added, seeing Ron and Harry’s abandoned puppy-like expressions. “They were all girls, so I didn’t invite you.”

"Then Hagrid took Bobby away! He said he needed to talk to her."

Harry pondered, "Usually it's my cousin who goes to Hagrid. Hagrid won't go looking for someone unless something happens."

Ron thought for a moment, then realized he couldn't think of anything, so he asked, "So what does Hagrid want with Bobby?"

Hermione analyzed, "I suspect it's related to the Philosopher's Stone. Remember? I said that Bobby's reaction on the Hogwarts Express was very strange, and I've long suspected she knows everything."

Hermione wanted to say that Bobby's certainty that Snape wouldn't steal the Philosopher's Stone meant she must know the truth. But considering Harry's deep-seated prejudice against Snape, she didn't say it.

Harry nodded, "After all, my cousin is Professor Dumbledore's apprentice, so it's normal for her to know some inside information. Even Nick Flamel's information was given to me by her."

Ron was somewhat dissatisfied: "We're her friends, why is she keeping it from us? Harry's her cousin!"

Hermione shook her head. "If she doesn't want to tell us, then we'll find the answer ourselves." Suddenly, Hermione raised her hand. "Look, what's wrong over there?"

Following the direction Hermione was pointing, they arrived at Hagrid's hut, where they could see the red flames from afar.

The three quickened their pace and arrived at Hagrid's cabin.

Hagrid was watching Poppy with a tense expression, while Poppy was breathing fire.

"Wow, that's really cool," Ron's eyes lit up, "like a fire dragon!"

Look closer, and you'll see that the flames Bobby is spewing are scorching the two large eggs.

Ron said indignantly, "Bobby! What delicious food are you making now! You didn't even tell us. Aren't we friends?"

Bobby rolled his eyes. "I know Harry well, I know Hermione well, but you, Ron Weasley, we really don't know each other well."

Ignoring the boy's wishful thinking, Bobby gave Hagrid a look, signaling him to explain.

It's so hard for her to control the heat and keep the eggs warm! One slight mistake and they'd really turn into something awful... Seriously, why didn't she make a couple of eggs to try when she was in Peru? Oh, what a lapse!

Hagrid knew that Harry and the others had already seen it, so there was no point in making up more lies, and besides, he had never known how to lie.

"They're incubating eggs," Hagrid said succinctly, still hoping to get away with it. After all, incubating dragon eggs is still incubating eggs, and he wasn't lying.

The three young wizards, two of whom grew up in the Muggle world, and one who is a complete idiot and probably wouldn't recognize a dragon egg.

"Oh, that must be a dragon egg!" Ron clapped his hands. He was a dragon enthusiast after all and recognized it at a glance.

Hermione then launched into a long, boastful display of her knowledge: "Of all the magical creatures, only dragons have eggs this big that require their parents to incubate them with fire!"

Hagrid: ...That's why I hate smart people the most.

Bobby: Hagrid, I'm giving you a chance to reorganize your language.

Ron's eyes lit up: "Wow, you're hatching a fire dragon!"

Harry was also intrigued: "Hagrid, what kind of dragon eggs are these? And there are two more!"

"Hagrid, these things are hard to come by. How did you get these two dragon eggs?"

“I won it! I won it from a stranger in the tavern,” he muttered. “Somehow, he seemed to be hoping I would lose…”

Poppy stopped spitting. Quirrell had already "lost" the dragon egg to Hagrid, and he could make his move at any moment. The trials for the three little ones had to go smoothly; this was Old Dumbledore's task for her.

Bobby then brought up the question that the three of them would only think of at the end of the semester.

"Hagrid, you've always wanted a dragon, but then a guy with two dragon eggs comes along and challenges you to a bet, eager to lose to you. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

Hagrid choked, while the three little ones looked as if they had just realized something.

Bobby: "Did you get a good look at what he looks like?"

Hagrid shook his head: "He was wearing a hood, so his whole face was hidden. I couldn't see him."

Harry whispered to Ron, "That must be Snape!"

Bobby then asked, "So did he ask you any questions?"

Rubeus Hagrid immediately replied, "He did ask. He was worried about me, afraid I wouldn't be able to raise dragons properly, so he asked me what other magical creatures I had raised."

"What did you answer?"

“I said, I’ve already raised Lou Williams, how could I not raise a dragon properly?”

Is he interested in Lou Williams?

“Of course he’s interested. Even rare animal dealers rarely get the chance to see a three-headed dog.” Hagrid said with an air of self-assurance, proud of his Ruggieri.

Hagrid became more and more excited as he spoke, and he loved sharing his experiences of raising magical creatures: "I told him, 'The trick to dealing with wild beasts is knowing how to keep them quiet.' Take Fluffy, for example, if you give him a little music, he'll fall asleep."

Seeing Bobby's odd expression, Hagrid suddenly realized, "I shouldn't have told you all this."

Bobby retorted, "But you told someone you shouldn't have told at all."

Bobby sighed. Now she was Harry and his friends' "old white-bearded grandpa," but her old white-bearded grandpa was always causing her trouble.

“You three, come in with me. I’ll teach you a spell,” Poppy said to Hagrid. “Hagrid, keep an eye on the eggs. They’re about to hatch.”

The four entered the cabin, and Bobby jumped onto a chair, took out paper and pen from his pocket, and quickly wrote down a spell.

"Here, this is a protective charm. With your level of magic, casting it once will keep you active for about a day and a half. When a wizard gets within 20 meters of the casting point, the caster will sense it."

"This is a simple spell for home defense against thieves, with a stronger warning function than a monitoring function. So I improved it, and now only a very small number of wizards will realize that they have been discovered. It is extremely stealthy."

"Alright, that's all I can do to help you..."

"Oh! Oh!" came Hagrid's cheers from outside.

The three children turned and ran outside. Hermione took a couple of steps, then suddenly turned back, grinned, took the note from Bobby's hand, and then rushed out as well.

Bobby held his hand up, still in the gesture of handing out the note. He just ran off like that? Without even a thank you?

She now deeply understands the powerlessness that teachers, godfathers, and godmothers feel when educating her; little brats are the worst.

Especially that little brat who's clearly an adult but still acts like a spoiled brat.

Outside, two baby venomous dragons hatched from their eggs and crawled around on the ground, but Hagrid picked them up one in each hand.

"Oh, my little darlings, look how beautiful they are!"

Bobby leaned against the doorframe and looked this way. "Just two yellow-skinned lizards," he thought. "What's so pretty about them? I've never heard anyone praise food for being beautiful."

Hagrid held the baby venomous dragon in his palm and strode over to Poppy. The three little ones followed closely behind, their eyes fixed on the yellow-skinned lizard in Hagrid's hand.

"Bobby! You hatched them, look! Aren't they adorable?"

Hagrid handed the baby Poison Fang Dragon to Poppy. The baby Poison Fang Dragon, which had just been baring its fangs and claws and biting Hagrid, suddenly froze.

Their yellow eyes stared straight at Bobby, and the next instant, as if they had seen a ghost, they let out a scream, turned around, and scrambled into Hagrid's arms.

"Oh, Bobby, did you see that? They like me, they treat me like their mother!"

Poppy: ...

Chapter 39 Harry Potter, the Green-Skinned Singer

"This one is male, named Norbert! This one is female, named Norbert!"

Poppy made the very authoritarian decision about the dragon's name.

Hagrid was overjoyed: "Bobby, we're such good friends! How did you know I'd name it Norbert?"

Bobby rolled his eyes inwardly: I read that in a novel.

But of course she couldn't say that, so she lied and said, "Have you forgotten, Hagrid? I'm a prophet, after all."

Three Little Ones: P's prophet, you're just a jinx.

But the simple-minded Hagrid wholeheartedly agreed.

Some might wonder why Malfoy didn't show up to cause trouble for the trio?

That's because a few days ago, an uninvited guest arrived at Malfoy Manor.

The person's entire face was hidden under the hood, as if blessed by magic, making it impossible to see their features.

When the mysterious man appeared in Malfoy's study, Lucius Malfoy, the current head of the Malfoy family, was worrying about the family business that was shrinking.

That Ant Merchant Guild is incredibly shrewd. They always manage to accurately grasp market trends, and all their business activities are planned ahead of market development, causing him to suffer repeated defeats.

When the burst of Apparition appeared behind him, he hurriedly pulled out his wand, turned around, and fired an Avada Kedavra.

The newcomer dodged the green light, and a chilling voice rang out: "It's been over a decade. Your magical skills have deteriorated too quickly. Your vigilance and reflexes are far inferior to what they used to be. Lucius Malfoy, if I wanted, you would already be dead."
