Chapter 128 The Kitten Who Loves to Listen to Stories
Under Hagrid's strong opposition, Fish finally failed to eat this huge black dragon egg that looked very delicious.
"How are you going to hatch it, big man? Are you going to hold it all the time?...Suck it!"﹃
Fish sat cross-legged on the bed, looked regretfully at the dragon egg held in Hagrid's arms, and asked curiously.
Although Fish's eyes were still a little dangerous, Hagrid still believed in Fish's promise. He put the dragon egg back on the bed, and then clumsily wrapped it in the quilt again.
"Actually, I don't know how to hatch it..."
Hagrid looked troubled, scratching his messy hair with his thick fingers and said: "I originally wanted to wrap it up like this first, and then go to the library to find out if there are any books related to raising dragons, and borrow one. I came back to take a look.”
"Then go." Since he can't eat the egg, Fish is also curious about how to hatch the dragon. "It's okay if you don't go to the Forbidden Forest today. I can also ask Minerva for you. Maybe she'll know how to hatch dragon eggs."
"Wait!" Hagrid quickly raised his voice and stopped Fei Xu: "You can't tell Professor McGonagall!"
"Meow?"
He glanced doubtfully at Hagrid, who suddenly became panicked...
It turns out that hatching dragon eggs is a bad thing!
The experienced Fei Xu instantly realized the point of the matter.
Then the smile on Xiao Feixu's face gradually became meaningful. (ω)
Of course he won't snitch, but with this handle in hand, if he accidentally gets caught by a big man when he sneaks into the Forbidden Forest in the future, he can use it as an exchange to prevent him from telling the truth. Told Minerva.
Feishu suddenly felt that reading more books was still beneficial. Whether it was the awakened clouded leopard form, or the fact that he had not been caught for doing bad things recently, or even seeking revenge from the Acromantula, he had gained a lot from the books. s help.
It’s just that those words are really a headache for cats, and they will lose interest after reading them for a while.
So it's really more convenient to ask Minerva to read it to you!
"Don't worry, big man, Feishu will keep it a secret for you!"
Fish stood up and patted Hagrid's arm, promising: "Hurry up and go to the library, I'll help you look after Meow."
For a moment, Hagrid was suspicious of Fish's positive attitude.
He had reason to suspect that Fei Xu wanted to secretly eat the dragon egg after he left.
However, Hagrid has also seen the changes in Fish in the recent period. He no longer behaves as recklessly and willfully as he did at the beginning of school. He has learned to take care of other people's moods, so Fish's promise is still Believable...probably.
In addition, Hagrid was eager to hatch the dragon egg, so he only hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Okay, wait for me here, I will be back soon... Qian Don’t eat it!”
"Don't worry, meow! Feishu keeps his word!"
After receiving Fish's assurance again, Hagrid quickly stood up and left the hut with long and swift steps.
After Hagrid left, Fish immediately took the dragon egg out of the quilt again. He put his nose close to smell the dragon egg, then put his cat ears on the egg shell, and listened carefully. Movement inside.
"It seems to be no different from other eggs...suck!"﹃
Except for the faint smell of sulfur on the eggshell, Fish didn't find anything special. He tapped the eggshell gently with his fingers and sucked the saliva from the corner of his mouth from time to time.
He really still wanted to taste the dragon eggs, but it was such a pity that he couldn't eat such a big egg!
Fei Xu used great perseverance to stuff the dragon egg back into the quilt. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it if he continued to look at it.
Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, Fish began to think about how he could get a dragon egg.
When it's my birthday, let Minerva give me a dragon egg as a gift...
Originally, Professor McGonagall wanted to count the day when Fish was adopted as his birthday, but Fish didn't know what birthday meant at the time, so he asked.
After Professor McGonagall patiently explained it to Fish, he promised that Fish could make a request to her on her birthday, and she would try her best to satisfy it.
Then the clever little cat decided that day (June 25) as his birthday without hesitation.
Therefore, when Fish was thinking about how to get dragon eggs, the first way he considered was to ask Professor McGonagall for one on his birthday.
But soon, Fish gave up this tempting idea.
Because judging from the big man's reaction just now, it seems that having dragon eggs is not something that can be publicized everywhere, and it may also violate school rules.
Although most of the school rules are just decoration to Fish, it would be a very risky thing to directly find Professor McGonagall and tell her that she wants to violate the rules.
So we can't find Minerva...
Feixu's little brain is still very useful, and he quickly thought of a suitable candidate——
Bad old man Dumbledore!
Although the bad old man always gave Fei Xu a feeling of evil intentions, when he found out that he had done bad things, he would often help cover it up.
Moreover, Fish still remembered that it was mentioned in the potion textbook that the bad old man once discovered twelve uses of dragon blood, so it should be easier for him to get dragon eggs, right?
Decided! When I go to play with Fox and the Sorting Hat tonight, I'll mention this to the bad old man!
After thinking about how he could obtain the dragon egg, Hagrid's dragon egg became less attractive to Fish, so he transformed back into his cat form, lay down on the quilt wrapped in the dragon egg and began to take a nap. .
…
On the other side, Hagrid hurried to the library and started rummaging through the bookshelves for books related to fire dragons.
"Fire Dragon Species in Britain and Ireland", "From Dragon Eggs to Hell", "Guide to Raising Fire Dragons"...
Hagrid quickly flipped through these books, trying to find one with more comprehensive content.
Finally, among a pile of books, Hagrid found a book called "Raising Fire Dragons for Recreation and Profit". Although this book was published earlier, it had complete content, from how to identify dragon eggs to different periods, Different types of fire dragon recipes are introduced in detail.
Hagrid glanced at the catalog and nodded with satisfaction, then returned the other books to the bookshelf. Taking only this old but thick tome, he went to Mrs. Pince's place to register.
"Hagrid! What are you doing in the library?"
Just when Hagrid was about to leave with the borrowed books, Ron's shout came from behind him.
"keep quiet!"
Mrs. Pince glared at the yelling Ron and warned.
Hagrid took the opportunity to stuff the borrowed books into the back of his moleskin coat, put one hand on his back, maintaining this weird posture, and walked to Ron and the others who were catching up on homework in the library.
"Aren't you going to take Fei Xu to play in the Forbidden Forest today? Why did you come to the library? Where is Fei Xu and the others?"
Hermione asked a barrage of questions as soon as Hagrid came over.
"Oh...he's in my hut," Hagrid replied in an evasive voice: "Well, I'm here...to borrow a storybook, yes! Fish suddenly wanted to hear a story, so I came to borrow one. Take it back and read it to him."
It was no secret that Fish often listened to stories from Professor McGonagall. Occasionally, other students would read some stories to Fish while he was lying on his stomach to rest.
So Hagrid’s excuse is actually quite credible.
But it's a pity...
His current appearance was so suspicious that no matter how good the excuse was, Harry and the others would not believe it.
"Okay, I have to rush back to read a storybook to Feishi!"
However, Hagrid didn't think so. He even felt that his performance was perfect. Then he continued to maintain the weird posture with one hand on his lower back and left the library.
"I'll go see what book he was looking for just now."
Ron ran to Mrs. Pince and asked her for relevant information.
Anyone who has been to the Hogwarts library knows that nothing that happens in the library can be hidden from Mrs. Pince. She has a special ability to always find and punish students who damage books immediately.
Although she was annoyed by Ron's previous noise, Mrs. Pince still informed Hagrid of the list of books he had borrowed.
When Ron returned to his seat with a pile of books about fire dragons, Hermione couldn't sit still again.
"Hagrid secretly raised a fire dragon, right?! Isn't Fish very dangerous?!"
She suddenly stood up from her seat, stuffed the things on the table into her big crossbody bag, and then rushed out the door.
Harry and Ron looked at each other helplessly and followed suit...
Then he was stopped by Mrs. Pingsi.
Madam Pince, who was like a vulture, stared at the two men fiercely without saying a word. She just pointed at the pile of books related to fire dragons that Ron had borrowed and now casually thrown on the table.
"Uh...sorry..."
Knowing that they were in the wrong, Harry and Ron shrank their necks, ran back in disgrace, and stuffed the books back into the bookshelves one by one before Mrs. Pince let them go.
