Chapter 129 I Prefer Fried Eggs
Hagrid took the book "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit" and ran all the way back to the cabin next to the Forbidden Forest.
Phish, who was taking a nap on Hagrid's bed, twitched his ears twice and heard the heavy footsteps approaching quickly outside.
(=`Д=)
He opened his mouth and yawned loudly. Phish stood up, shook his fur, and turned to look at the door.
And Hagrid just happened to push the door open at this time.
"Meow~" (=ΦωΦ=)
Phish raised a paw and greeted Hagrid.
Hagrid also smiled in return. He raised the big book in his hand and shook it at Phish, "I borrowed the book, let's see how to hatch dragon eggs!"
Hagrid came to Phish in two steps and three steps. He sat on the edge of the bed, then put the book on his thighs and opened the thick cover.
Fish curiously jumped onto Hagrid's shoulder, lowered his head and looked at the opened book with him.
Hagrid's thick fingers slid across the catalog, and while muttering to himself, he was also explaining to Fish: "First, we need to figure out the type of dragon egg... Found it! How to distinguish different dragon eggs, page 8."
"Australian egg white eyes, their dragon eggs are grayish white... not this one... Chinese fireball, dark red with gold spots... It's really beautiful, isn't it? Of course, my black one is not bad either... Ordinary Welsh green dragon, earthy brown with green spots... It's not this one either..."
Hagrid read the content word by word, and compared his black dragon egg with the picture in the book, fearing that he would make a mistake... Even if those colorful dragon eggs were completely different from the black egg on the bed, he would confirm it again and again before turning to the next page.
"Found it! It's a Norwegian Ridgeback! It's exactly the same as the picture in the book!" Hagrid laughed happily, "I'm so lucky, it's a very rare fire dragon!"
Just as Hagrid happily flipped back to the catalog to find out how to hatch a Norwegian Ridgeback, the wooden door of the hut was pushed open and hit the wall with a loud "bang".
"Sorry..." Hermione panted and held the door frame, looking at Hagrid who was shocked by her appearance, "I just... seemed to hear you mention... fire dragons?"
Hermione's eyes were sharp, staring at Hagrid, looking very much like Professor McGonagall when she was angry.
Fish, who was squatting on Hagrid's shoulder, suddenly remembered that Minerva asked him to deal with Rat Fang more often.
So he jumped to the ground, then jumped in front of Hermione, stood up and put his front paws on the hem of her robe, and made a cry that made Hermione feel her heart melt instantly.
"Meow~~~" (=ΦωΦ=)
"Fish! Hello!"
Faced with such a cute attack, Hermione couldn't hold back at all. She instantly threw Hagrid and the dragon behind her, bent down to hug Fish in her arms, and then rubbed her cheek against Fish's head.
This was not the first time Fish had encountered such a situation. At first, he felt very annoyed and resisted a little, but later he got used to it. The kitten lay flat and let the girls toss around. Anyway, they would compensate him with food in the end.
For the sake of food, Fish usually didn't resist.
Also, although Fish didn't know why, it seemed to be a good thing. Every time he was treated like this by a girl, the boy next to him would always show an envious expression...but it didn't seem like he was greedy for the compensation later.
Fish, who couldn't figure it out, didn't go into it, anyway, he didn't lose anything.
After sucking the cat crazily for a while, Hermione gradually calmed down from the excitement.
She first took out a snack and stuffed it into Fish's mouth as usual. The heartless little cat ran to the side with the food in its mouth, changed back into human form and ate happily.
miamiamiamiamiamia...(●Φ~Φ●)
Hermione looked at Hagrid again. Just as she was about to continue questioning Hagrid about the dragon, Harry and Ron also rushed over.
"My... my God..." Ron panted heavily, supported his hands on his knees, and said to Hermione: "You, you run too fast..."
Ron admired Hermione from the bottom of his heart. He and Harry almost ran out of breath, but they couldn't catch up with Hermione. You know, she was carrying a big bag full of books!
Harry also panted quickly, swallowed hard, and nodded in agreement.
"Meow? Scarhead and Red No. 4, you're here too." (●Φ~Φ●)
Fish looked up and greeted the two, then continued to eat snacks seriously... The cream toffee Hermione gave him was delicious, but too sticky.
Hermione glanced at Ron and Harry, but didn't say anything. Instead, she pointed behind Hagrid and shouted, "What are you hiding?! Hagrid!"
Hagrid, who was trying to use his body to block the black dragon egg on the bed, paused slightly, then gave up hiding it dejectedly and moved sideways to let the dragon egg out.
"As you can see, this is a dragon egg." Hagrid pulled his beard and asked in a soft voice a little embarrassedly, "You won't tell anyone, right?"
"Of course! This is a dragon egg!" Ron excitedly came to the dragon egg and looked at it carefully, "Where did you get it from? It must have cost a lot of money, right? I heard from Charlie that even the eggs of the most numerous Peruvian Venomous Dragons cost a lot of money."
"I won it." Hagrid said, "I was drinking in the village last night and playing cards with a stranger. To be honest, that person probably wanted to get rid of it."
"So you went to the library to borrow books for it?"
Hermione asked with a frown. In fact, she wanted to tell Professor McGonagall, but Fish was obviously an insider, which made her hesitate.
And her main concern before was that Hagrid, who didn't know the seriousness of the matter, would let the dragon hurt Fish. Now that she found out it was just a dragon egg, she was not so anxious.
"Also, what are you going to do after you hatch it?"
"I'm reading a book now," Hagrid shook the book he had just borrowed. "Look, it says here, first, put the eggs in the fire, because their mother will breathe on them when hatching them."
Hagrid read the content on it while flipping through the book.
"After it hatches, feed it a bucket of chicken blood brandy every half an hour - Norwegian ridgebacks like this, and I got their eggs, which are very rare."
As he said this, he put the black dragon egg in the fireplace according to the instructions in the book, and then lit the fire.
"Meow?" ∑(●ΦωΦ●)
Finally finishing the sticky toffee, Fish saw Hagrid put the black dragon egg into the fire.
He was eating the candy seriously just now, and didn't notice what Hagrid and the others said before.
"Big guy! You finally decided to cook this egg for Fish to eat meow?" (●﹃●)
Fish ran to the fireplace happily and said, "In fact, Fish prefers fried eggs meow!"
