Chapter 42 Norwegian Ridgeback Nobo and the Three-Headed Dog
"This... this is a dragon!" Hermione couldn't believe the scene in front of her, because as early as 1716, the Ministry of Magic had an inscription prohibiting wizards from raising dragons privately!
"This is not just a dragon, Hermione. My brother Charlie is engaged in research on dragon breeding. I saw it in the book he sent back. This is a young Norwegian Ridgeback! But..." Ron frowned. He frowned and said: "How did you get it here? I mean this dragon. The Ministry of Magic prohibits wizards from raising dragons privately!"
"Oh, well, I traded it with an Arab businessman at the Leaky Cauldron!" Hagrid kept teasing the newborn baby dragon with his hands.
"In exchange? What can you give in exchange for a dragon?" Al felt a little incredible!
"Haha, speaking of which, the businessman is also a fellow-minded person. He likes these magical creatures very much, so I told him some of the conditions of raising Maomao, a subspecies of hell three-headed dog that I once raised. He thought that I could be very good at raising them. If you raise this dragon well, he will give this dragon egg to me! After all, he is a businessman and needs to travel around the world, so he has no time to take care of the little guy!"
"Nobo, chirp chirp...what a cute little guy. Look, he knows his mother is here. How smart the little guy is!" Hagrid seemed to be covered with a layer of maternal love at this time!
"Noble? Hagrid, you've even chosen a name. You can't really mean it..." Before Hermione could finish her words, Noble opened her mouth and sprayed dragon fire on Hagrid's beard!
Fortunately, it was a newborn dragon, otherwise Fanlin would have doubted what Hagrid would have left after taking this bite!
"It seems that it needs more training!" Hagrid said with lingering fear while patting his beard!
"Hagrid, you can't do this. I mean, you can't keep a dragon privately in the school. This is against the rules!" Hermione said with some reluctance. She was very afraid that the dragon would kill Hagrid with one bite that day. His hut was reduced to ashes!
"It's okay, Hermione, I think I can train Nob well, right, little guy! Look, mom is here!" Hagrid answered Hermione's words without looking back. Hagrid had already been attracted by this dragon. Overwhelmed by the joy of birth!
"Hagrid, I have another question!" Fan Lin looked at the Norwegian Ridgeback that was still slipping on the table, and suddenly remembered about Maomao. Whether it was a dragon or a three-headed hell dog, these were all legendary creatures. Biology, Fanlin wants to know more about it!
"you say!"
"Hagrid, can you tell me about the subspecies of the three-headed hellhound, which is Fluffy?"
"Of course, I'd love to!" Hagrid was delighted that Al was interested in these magical creatures!
"I think back when I raised Mao Mao, he was still a little baby, only as big as a tooth! The three heads would keep colliding with each other!" Having said this, Hagrid smiled. After all, it was some very interesting things. !
"Then what?"
"Maomao grows very fast and eats a lot, so I have to find more food for him in the Forbidden Forest! Oh, by the way, Maomao likes to listen to music very much. As long as he hears the music, he will be very happy. Go to sleep quickly! This is a habit I cultivate for him!”
"Hagrid, you are really good at dealing with these magical creatures!" Fan Lin sincerely praised Hagrid!
"Hey!" Hagrid was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had been praised by others! But soon, Hagrid puffed up his chest. Hagrid was still very confident in his understanding of magical creatures!
"That's natural, otherwise Dumbledore wouldn't have sent Maomao to guard him..."
"What are you guarding?" Fan Lin suddenly heard the unexpected news and couldn't wait to ask. It was probably a clue about the magic stone!
"Sorry, this is confidential, I can't talk anymore, we can talk about some topics about Nobo!" Hagrid also realized that he said too much!
Seeing Hagrid's reaction, Fan Lin strengthened his own idea. Maomao was the guard guarding the magic stone, and the magic stone must have multiple layers of protection, and this was definitely one of the protection procedures.
"Okay Hagrid! What are you going to do about Nobo in the future?" Fan Lin was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to hear Hagrid say more!
"I plan to raise him up and keep him in the Forbidden Forest or somewhere!"
"Hagrid, I think you should communicate with Dumbledore. After all, it is against the regulations of the Ministry of Magic for wizards to keep dragons personally!"
"I know this, but..." Hagrid couldn't help but lower his head when he heard what Fan Lin said. He didn't want to send little Nobo away!
"I have a good idea!" Fan Lin quickly comforted Hagrid: "As I said, you can go to Professor Dumbledore and take the initiative to tell the story about Nobo. I think Dumbledore is still It would be nice to have a dragon to guard Hogwarts, or it would be good to have Nobo help you guard the Forbidden Forest, but it depends on your domestication skills. After all, dragon knights were still very popular in the Middle Ages!"
"This is really a good idea. My domestication skills are absolutely fine. I can even handle the three-headed hell dog subspecies like Maomao. Nobo is much more spiritual than Maomao!" Hagrid was very excited now. He was already I fantasized about Nobo's powerful dragon soaring over Hogwarts!
"I will help you, Hagrid! After all, I am also interested in Noble!..."
Fan Lin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hermione.
"Fan Lin, are you sure this is okay? That is a dragon. Even if it is successfully tamed, it is still a very dangerous existence for us!" Hermione whispered to Fan Lin. The conversation just now seemed very uncomfortable to Hermione. Reliable!
After Fanlin raised his head to make sure that Hagrid had not heard these words, he whispered to Hermione: "No problem, Hermione, you have to believe in Hagrid's domestication technology, and Dumbledore is here. There will be no problem! Even if Noble is left, Dumbledore will not let Noble enter the school area, at most the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake area!"
"I also think this is feasible. After all, Hagrid really wants to raise a dragon!" Harry also added: "I have talked with Hagrid. This is his long-standing wish!"
"I can ask my brother Charlie to provide Hagrid with some props and guidance!" Ron looked at Nobo intently. After all, a living dragon is still very attractive!
This made Hagrid very happy. No one had ever thought of him so much! Hagrid almost cried. In order to cover it up, Hagrid quickly picked up the teapot and said he was going to add more hot water to them. Although the tea in the cup is still steaming!
"How's it going, Hermione?" Fan Lin raised the corners of his mouth, looking a little proud!
"Humph!" Hermione turned her head and had no intention of talking to Fan Lin!
"Come on, Hermione, I think you should be happy for Hagrid! Besides, don't you think it's cool to have a dragon!"
Hermione rewarded Fan Lin with a big eye roll! "What you are saying is, Mr. Fanlin, I am indeed happy for Hagrid, but now I just want to step on you hard. Can you agree to this small request of mine?"
When Fan Lin heard this, he couldn't help but feel pain in his feet. He raised his head and glanced pitifully at Hermione, and then he saw determination in Hermione's eyes!
"Okay!" Fan Lin sighed and took both feet out from under the table! "You want to step on that one, Miss Granger!"
