#247 - Dragon's Food
Hagrid was very worried that his secret would be discovered. After the little wizards entered the house, he immediately closed the door and drew the curtains.

Moon and Hermione didn't know what had happened. Only Harry and Ron looked at Hagrid expectantly, hoping he could take the thing out.
However, Hagrid was not in a hurry. Especially after seeing Moon, he first smiled and asked about Moon's holiday life, and then took out a weasel sandwich for everyone.
Weasels are common animals in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid catches a lot in the Forbidden Forest every once in a while.
Fry the weasel meat, and combine it with jam and bread to make Hagrid's afternoon tea.
The four little wizards just glanced at the dry jerky and politely declined Hagrid's kindness.
But Bouncy, after entering the house, played with Fang for a while, then went to the fireplace and kept looking inside.
“Chirp?” (What is that?)
Only Moon could understand Bouncy's words.
Seeing Bouncy pointing his little paw into the fireplace, Moon also curiously looked into the flames.
I saw a dark oval thing, quietly staying in the stove.
"What is that?" Moon asked curiously.
Hagrid naturally noticed Bouncy's movements.
After hearing Moon's words, he walked over and gently held up Bouncy, tapped the Niffler's long nose, and then opened the kettle on the stove.
"I knew I couldn't hide anything from you little guy."
Hagrid said, picking up a glass of chicken blood brandy next to him and pouring it into the flames.
With a bang.
The flames suddenly窜out a section, and several little wizards also looked sideways.
"Oh! It's here, are you sure your hatching method is correct?"
Harry and Ron had known Hagrid's secret for a long time, and the two of them were now staring at the blue flames that had been poured with high alcohol and exploded.
"Of course, this is what the book says. Put the dragon egg in the fire, like their mother exhaling at them, and pour a glass of chicken blood brandy every half an hour."
While the three were talking in front of the fireplace, Hermione found a few books hidden by Hagrid.
《Dragon Species in Britain and Ireland》, 《From Dragon Egg to Hell》, 《Raising Dragon Guide》, 《Raising Dragon for Recreation and Profit》
"Dragon egg? So that's what it looks like."
Moon finally knew what the species in the flames was.
But looking at the three empty wine bottles on Hagrid's table, Moon showed a thoughtful expression.
"Hagrid, did you read it wrong? The book says that after the dragon egg hatches, feed the little dragon chicken blood brandy every half an hour, instead of feeding it to the dragon egg when it hatches."
After hearing the news of the dragon attacking the city in another world, Moon returned to Hogwarts and consulted a lot of information about the dragon.
Moon had read these books at that time, and can still recall the contents now.
"Is it, let me see."
Hearing Moon's words, Hagrid hurriedly took the book.
Huge fingers划过rows of tiny words, found the original text.
"Oops, the dragon egg won't be ruined by me!"
After discovering the mistake, Hagrid hurriedly wanted to reach out to take the dragon egg, but the high temperature flames still stopped him.
Just as Hagrid was about to get the dragon skin gloves, Bouncy stood in front of the stove and stretched out his little paw to stop him.
“Chirp chirp~” (Don't, it's okay~)
Seeing Bouncy's actions, several people turned to look at Moon at the same time.
Moon didn't know what was going on, he looked at Bouncy.
"What's wrong with the dragon egg?"
“Chirp~” (It's eating~)
"Eating? You mean, the dragon egg is absorbing the energy of the flame?"
“Chirp~” (Yes, absorb!)
Moon told everyone all the information Bouncy observed, and Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.
"Did I accidentally find the hatching method of the dragon?"
"It should be, and according to Bouncy, this dragon egg seems to be very happy when you feed it wine, it will definitely be unusual when it is born."
Moon has studied many ancient magic books, and he is very clear that there will indeed be errors in the contents of the books.
Or maybe the previous wizards never thought of this hatching method.
"I think you should be concerned about how to solve this problem, instead of considering how to raise dragons."
Hermione opposed raising the dragon after learning that there was a dragon egg in the fireplace.
"It is now forbidden to raise dragons in the UK. This is illegal and very dangerous. Ron, you should be very clear about this."
Hermione said, looking at Ron, who had been squatting in front of the fireplace, hoping that the other party could explain.
"Of course I know. At the Wizards' Conference in 1709, a law was passed to prohibit the raising of dragons, and taming wild dragons is very dangerous. Charlie has many burns left on his body when he drove away wild dragons in Romania."
Ron is always very clear about what happened in the magical world, and Moon is also a little concerned when it comes to wild dragons.
The latest novels are first published on Six Nine Books吧!
"Are there any wild dragons in Britain?"
"Of course, there are Welsh Green Dragons and Hebridean Black Dragons. I can tell you that one of the Ministry of Magic's jobs is to hide the existence of these wild dragons. They often cast spells on Muggles who see wild dragons to make them forget about it."
The spell Ron was talking about was naturally the [Memory Charm], and the Memory Cancellation Headquarters was responsible for handling related incidents.
Ron's father was often called over to help with dragon-related matters.
"So there are so many, do you know how to get to the Hebrides?"
Moon just thought about whether he could find the local dragons of Britain when he had time, but as soon as he asked, Hermione cast a murderous look.
"What do you want to do? This is a very dangerous thing!"
Seeing Hermione angry, Moon consciously shut up.
Hagrid, on the other hand, knew that his mistake had not caused any hidden dangers to the dragon egg, so he took a small branch and hummed a ditty while constantly拨弄the fire.
"I don't think there's anything wrong. I just haven't seen a dragon born yet. Maybe I can make up for the regret this time."
Ron has always heard his brother Charlie say in his letters that dragon babies are very cute. This time he can finally see it with his own eyes, so naturally he won't care about Hermione's thoughts.
Harry didn't want to stop Hagrid. He didn't have much knowledge of the Ministry of Magic's ban.
As for Moon, he is now very curious like Bouncy.
Hermione realized that no one supported her, so she didn't say anything more, but also curiously looked at the dragon egg in the flames.
"Little guy, can you sense the life in the egg?"
Hagrid has been holding Bouncy, hoping to get correct guidance.
“Chirp chirp~” (It's very strong, but it's full now~)
Every time Bouncy said a word, Moon helped to convey it to Hagrid.
"Oh, so I should feed less chicken blood brandy, how much is appropriate?"
“Chirp chirp~” (I don't know, I need to watch it for a few more days.)
After staying with Moon for a long time, Bouncy's thinking is becoming more and more logical.
"Okay."
After hearing Bouncy's answer, Hagrid looked back at Moon.
"Can Bouncy stay with me for a few days? Don't worry, I estimate the dragon egg will be hatched soon, and then I will send it back."
Moon first glanced at Bouncy, found that the other party did not refuse, so he nodded.
"Okay, I think Bouncy should also like to make a new friend."
"That's great, I was still worried that the little dragon would be lonely after it was born."
Hagrid was very happy. Although he hadn't been in contact with Bouncy for a long time, he had seen Bouncy's communication skills.
Even the giant squid in the Black Lake can get along with this little guy, then the dragon must be able to.
