The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 36 The Norwegian Ridgeback

Raising dragons is illegal, which is common sense in the wizarding world, but Ryan looked at Hagrid's excited look and felt that he might not accept persuasion and give up his dream of raising a dragon.

Sure enough, when Hermione pointed out that Hagrid lived in a wooden house, and a fire dragon in it might have ruined it all.Hagrid was still excited to tell them about the dragon.

"I read "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit" and it says to put the eggs in the fire because their mother breathes on them. Look, it says, when it hatches, every half Feed it a barrel of brandy and chicken blood for an hour. Look here again—how to tell the difference—I got a Norwegian Ridgeback, very rare.”

Ryan watched Hagrid fiddle with the fire while happily humming a ditty, and felt that Hermione's persuasion was useless at all, maybe only after Hagrid raised the dragon for a while, he would suffer some losses. Wake up.

Besides, Ryan has almost officially mastered "Crazy Dave's Beginner's Guide to Plant Breeding" now.Now he plans to breed a special plant of his own. After the dragon hatches, maybe he can get some dragon-related things to use to grow plants.

In the following time, Harry and Ron also began to accept the review plan that Hermione helped to formulate.But this made them even more irritable, because now there was another dragon to worry about besides the Philosopher's Stone.They feel that if this continues, they will go crazy sooner or later.

Then, at breakfast one day, Hedwig brought Harry another note from Hagrid.There are only four words written on it; it is about to come out of the shell.

Ron didn't want herbalism class, he wanted to go straight to Hagrid's cabin, Hermione and Ryan strongly disagreed.

Ron wanted to argue, but Ryan interrupted him a little rudely.

"Shut up," Ryan said. "This is not the place to discuss this. Don't you see a bunch of Slytherins coming over for breakfast?"

Ron was a little disappointed eating bread with jam, and they didn't find free time until the break at noon.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Harry and the others quickly dropped their small shovels and hurried across the field towards the edge of the forbidden forest.Hagrid greeted them, flushed and excited.

"Come out soon." He let them into the cabin. "Where is Ryan?"

"Ryan and Professor Sprout have some questions to ask. He has to stay in the greenhouse for a long time every time he has herbal medicine class. He will come over after a while," Hermione said to Hagrid.

When Ryan hurried over from the greenhouse, the little dragon had already been born.The newborn baby dragon has wrinkled wings and is about the size of a chicken.Occasionally, one or two sparks come out of the mouth.

Hagrid, who was bitten on his finger while trying to pet the little dragon, still said happily: "My God, look, it knows its mother!"

After Ryan saw this scene, he swallowed the advice that had come to his lips.At least Hagrid, who was in joy today, would never listen to advice. Let's use facts to advise Hagrid when Xiaolong grows up and all kinds of problems come out.

When they left Hagrid's hut and returned to the castle.The system issued a prompt to Ryan.

—Malfoy didn't notice the dragon was born.Get the offset point 2 points.

Well, now there are 22 offset points, and Ryan looked at his offset points with a satisfied smile.But when he thought of Hagrid trying to raise dragons indoors, he restrained his smile again. After all, it would be very difficult for a ferocious animal fanatic to give up raising dragons.

Ryan's speculation became a reality.Dragons really weren't domestic animals, at least not to Hagrid, but Hagrid still wouldn't give up.

In just one week, the dragon had tripled in length.Puffs of smoke burst from its nostrils.Hagrid had put aside his job of guarding the hunting grounds because the dragons were making him scramble.Empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers littered the floor.

When Ryan and the others went to see Hagrid once, Hagrid's big face showed a maternal color and teased the little dragon.

"I decided to call him Norbert," said Hagrid, looking at the dragon through tear-blurred eyes, "he really knows me now, look. Norbert! Norbert! Where's mother?"

Ryan felt a little uncomfortable seeing this scene, after all, such a tall and thick man made such a sound with his throat pressed down.It really makes people feel chills.

But Ryan still stepped forward to persuade Hagrid: "Hagrid, at this growth rate, it can grow as big as your house in two weeks, and you can't hide it at school. Besides, I have seen wizards According to the law, raising a dragon privately is a felony worthy of imprisonment in Azkaban. Not to mention that the dragon is born to be the king of the sky, his nature is not suitable for being raised in this house by you, even if it is for... . Well, for the sake of Norbert, you should also let go."

Obviously Ryan's remarks touched Hagrid a little.He bit his lip. "I—I know I can't keep it forever, and I know I should let it go quickly. Dumbledore helped me a lot, and I shouldn't bother him anymore. But I can't just throw it away, it's too You can't live on your own when you're too young."

Hagrid really loved these animals. Compared with those people who kept pets on a whim in previous lives, and then threw away their pets if something went wrong, Hagrid was the real animal protector.

But now this problem still needs to be solved.Ron thought for a while and said: "My brother Charlie raises a dragon in Romania. We can give this dragon to him. I think he must have a way to take good care of this dragon."

"This should be the best way for Norbert." Hagrid said while weeping, and occasionally took out a large handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Finally, in Hagrid's presence, Ron wrote a letter to his brother asking about the matter.

The next week was like a year. Around 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, Ryan and Hermione sat in the common room and started the review mode of cultivating immortality.This is Harry and Ron crawling in through the hole in the lounge. They were wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and they just went to Hagrid to feed Norbert.

"Ryan, help me to see what's wrong with Ron's hand?" Harry said to Ryan as soon as he came in, because he had seen Ryan feeling the pulse of people in the common room before, and he seemed to know a lot of medical skills, and Chinese medicine is widely used in the West. Human eyes are not much different from magic.Obviously, letting Ryan see it was because Ron's condition was not suitable for Madam Pomfrey to see.

Ron held out a finger wrapped in a bloody handkerchief.Ryan opened the handkerchief and found that the wound should have been bitten by a dragon.There is some greenishness and redness in the tooth marks.

"Damn, why is this dragon's teeth poisonous? Wait for me, I'll get something." After speaking, Ryan ran upstairs, leaving the three of them staring at each other in the common room.
