Chapter 244 The day the principal was away

"Of course not!" Hagrid shook his head. "He invited me to drink, and we continued to chat about some magical creatures. After we got to know each other a little better, he told me that he had a fire dragon egg."

A look of joy and pride flashed across Hagrid's face, "I have always wanted to raise a fire dragon, so naturally I would not miss this good opportunity, so I asked him about the price. He asked me for 1,000 Galleons..."

"1,000 Galleons?!" Ron's eyes widened, "That's a lot of money..."

"Yes, yes." Hagrid was a little embarrassed, "I'm actually quite poor..."

If Robert were here, he would definitely say, "You are poor, but you are low-key luxury."

In terms of rich family background, Hagrid can be ranked among the top three in Hogwarts.

"Then what?" Ron urged, "Did he give you some test and you passed it, so he gave you the egg?"

"It's not that exaggerated. He just invited me to play cards. If you beat him, you can get the fire dragon egg." Hagrid scratched his head, "But, he said, he had to find out whether I had the ability to tame the fire dragon. He didn't want to One day I heard that there was a fire dragon running out to cause trouble in Hogwarts. If the Ministry of Magic found out about it, he would be in big trouble."

Ron curled his lips, "Why, he dares to sell dragon eggs. He's not afraid of the Ministry of Magic at all, is he?"

Even though Harry and Hermione didn't speak, that's how they knew each other.

Hagrid shook his head, "There are many guys who sell eggs of magical creatures. They sell banned magical creatures all over the world, and they won't give the Ministry of Magic a chance to catch them. It's hard for wizards to hate them, after all, magical creatures Creatures are so fascinating that I can't resist the idea of ​​owning them. Purebloods even blatantly keep these creatures at home. I heard that in Egypt, some people kept manticores at home. The Ministry of Magic spent a lot of money The mind masks their presence.”

"What?"

"Merlin! That thing is more dangerous than the fire dragon!"

Harry looked at the two of them in confusion, manticore? What it is?

But now he was not in the mood to think about this, and turned to look at Hagrid, "How did he determine that you are capable of raising a fire dragon?"

Hagrid did not doubt his presence and shrugged, "I told him that I can even manage a three-headed dog, and a fire dragon is nothing..."

The little wizards gasped.

"Is he very interested in Lu Wei?" Harry smiled a little reluctantly, trying his best to keep his tone calm, "Then you talked about Lu Wei in the bar?"

"Yes, he was indeed very interested. After all, although the three-headed dog is not a cherished magical creature, it is still very difficult to see in the rot country, not even in the Forbidden Forest. He asked me how to get it from The three-headed dog got puppies right under his nose." Hagrid's proud expression was palpable. "I told him that the three-headed dog is actually very easy to deal with. Play some music to it and it will fall asleep immediately, and then you can... …”

A look of horror suddenly appeared on Hagrid's face, "Oh my God! I shouldn't have told you this! Forget what I said! Hey! Where are you going?"

The three little wizards couldn't care less about Hagrid's call, and they hurried back to the castle.

"We must tell Dumbledore immediately." Harry breathed heavily, his tone firm.

Hermione nodded. She had run too fast just now and was panting like an ox.

"By the way, do any of you know where Dumbledore's office is?" Harry asked anxiously, "Oh my God, at this time, I don't even know where his office is!"

Hermione took a deep breath and coughed twice, "On the eighth floor."

"What?" Harry looked delighted, "Hermione, how do you know where Dumbledore is?"

"Last time you ran away, Neville and I were looking for you everywhere. We met Robert on the road, and he took us to the principal's office." Hermione recalled the scene that night, "But there seemed to be a password at the door, and we didn't know it. If you use the password, you won’t be able to get in.”

Harry looked disappointed.

"Then ask Robert." Ron said nonchalantly, "Since he knew what the password was last time, he will definitely know it this time."

The three of them discussed it and prepared to go find Robert.

"But..." Harry scratched his head awkwardly, "We don't seem to know where to find Robert..."

"After the exam, he will probably go back to the Hufflepuff common room, right?" Ron said uncertainly, "I heard from Fred and the others that Robert will go out to play with them after the exam."

"Going out to play?" Hermione was a little confused, "Where are we going to play?"

"It's Hogsmeade," Ron said. "The village where the train stops every time."

After hearing Ron's words, Harry no longer had any hope, "Then maybe he's gone."

While several people were struggling, a voice sounded, "What are you doing standing here?"

The three of them turned their heads, and it was Professor McGonagall. She was still holding a stack of books in her arms, and her expression looked a little strange.

But those were all trivial matters. At that moment, they seemed to have found their backbone and immediately surrounded them.

"Professor! We want to see Professor Dumbledore!" Hermione said hurriedly, "Do you know where his office is?"

Professor McGonagall looked at her and seemed a little surprised, "Why do you want to see Professor Dumbledore? Now that the exam is over, you can go out to play... or bask in the sun. Miss Granger, The library is not closed yet.”

Harry swallowed and plucked up the courage to say, "We, we have secrets about the Sorcerer's Stone that we want to tell Professor Dumbledore..."

"Dong dong dong" The book in Professor McGonagall's hand fell to the ground, making a dull sound, "This... is wrong. How did you know... this?"

Harry did not answer her question, but said, "Professor, we found that someone may be planning to steal the Sorcerer's Stone... So, we must talk to Professor Dumbledore."

Professor McGonagall's expression stiffened, and then she looked at him suspiciously, "Professor Dumbledore left the castle ten minutes ago. He received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic. If nothing unexpected happens, it may be tomorrow." Only then can I come back.”

Then, she said expressionlessly, "I don't know how you know the secret of the Sorcerer's Stone, but please believe that no one can steal it. We have made every preparation."

"But..." Harry wanted to say something else, but Professor McGonagall interrupted him.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger, I think you should go celebrate the end of the exam with your friends now." Professor McGonagall said firmly, "Or, go back to the dormitory and take a nap. After all, You must have spent a lot of energy reading books these days, and this is the perfect time to take a break."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.
