The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 187 Suspicious Fire Dragon Egg
After an unexamined day, Ada's life is back on track, and there are still many things waiting for her to do.Since she has to face the wind and rain by herself in the future, she must grow up as soon as possible. Only by defeating the same trial doll as Professor McGonagall can Ada's life be guaranteed.

It can be said that there are very few people in the entire wizarding world who can reach the level of combat power of Professor McGonagall or Snape.
In this way, the only people who can threaten her are Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Voldemort has nothing to say, the positions of the two people are completely different, Ada's background is doomed to be the target of the Death Eaters' cleansing, unless her unseen parents are descendants of a pure-blood family, but 28 pure-blood families But there is no family named Drizzt.

The other threat is actually not a threat. Dumbledore is not crazy, and he can't do such a crazy thing.Ada believes that as long as she doesn't sabotage or disturb the implementation of Dumbledore's plan, Dumbledore will not touch her.

Dumbledore will not take the initiative to force Ada to his opposition. As long as Ada does not show a clear tendency to oppose Harry, she and Dumbledore are not enemies.

Anyone with a normal mind will win the support of more people, instead of making enemies wantonly and using killing to establish their authority.Dumbledore is not only a normal person, but also an extremely smart person. He would not do such a thing that harms himself and benefits others.

With the end of the Easter holiday, Hogwarts suddenly became busy. While teachers were teaching new content, they would also lead students to review what they had learned before.

Some students are complaining about the heavy workload, but some students suddenly find that the final exam is getting closer and closer to them, and they have little time to relax.

Mrs. Pince's temper became more and more irritable when facing Ada. Every time she checked the books that Ada borrowed, she would spend a long time. I don't know if she really loves these books, or because the library students are more and more more and more.

Of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Pince, who had been rumored to be scandalous, was complaining to Filch because Ada had threatened Filch before.

In any case, Mrs. Pince was indeed a lot more irritable. She appeared in every corner of the library with a feather duster in her hand, and drove out all the students who violated the library discipline.

But there was one person Mrs. Pince couldn't drive away. This person hardly appeared in the library, and that was Hagrid. His huge size was not something Mrs. Pince could drive away.

Hagrid was wearing an out-of-date moleskin coat, and lately he was always coming to the library to read.It's hard for you to imagine Hagrid holding a book and studying hard, but if the contents of these books are all about fire dragons, would you still be surprised?

Anyway, Ada would not find it strange.

As early as 1709, the wizarding world passed the bill prohibiting raising dragons. Hagrid complained privately about this bill more than once, which limited his love for dragons; he also expressed his desire to raise a dragon more than once; The biggest common topic between Hagrid and Charlie is fire dragons. Hagrid also raised his hands and feet in favor of Charlie going to Romania to study fire dragons.

In fact, few of the magical animals raised by Hagrid are allowed to be kept privately. He has plenty of ways to deal with these dangerous magical animals.So even if Hagrid immediately took out a dragon egg from his moleskin coat, Ada would not be frightened, but felt that this is what Hagrid should be like, this is her idol, a real man You should raise a fire dragon!
The only question was, if Hagrid did have a dragon egg, where did it come from?

Ada and the twins didn't go to Hagrid to ask what happened. Even if Hagrid really raised a fire dragon, it has nothing to do with them. It's not up to the three of them to worry about where the fire dragon eggs come from. Naturally, someone will follow up and ask.

Believe it or not, Harry, Ron, and Hermione left immediately after Hagrid borrowed the book and left.Without even thinking about it, Ada knew that the three of them must go to Hagrid. Not only would they find out if Hagrid had a dragon, but they would also find out where Hagrid's dragon came from.

Ada's pace of life was not disrupted by Hagrid's sudden appearance in the library, she still completed her plan step by step.Just when Ada had forgotten about it, Ron's unexpected hospitalization made her remember it again.

At noon on Thursday, Ada and the twins went to the school hospital after eating, and Ron was hospitalized. As older brothers and sisters, they must go to see it.

Ron's arm had swelled to twice its original size and looked like a mallet, and Fred just touched it lightly, and Ron let out a hog-killing howl.

"Tell me, what's going on, why did it swell up like this?" George, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, asked.

"Bite by a dog." Ron murmured. He had no confidence at all in what he said, and he couldn't deceive anyone at all.If you want to lie to others, you have to bluff yourself first. Only when you believe yourself can others believe it.

Ada walked to the hospital bed, looked carefully at Ron's bitten hand, and said, "Maybe I should take the bandage off and have a look, and then let Garen bite little Ronnie, so we can know Was it bitten by a dog?"

"That's right, why didn't I think of that." Fred clapped his hands suddenly, "Ada, you're in charge of removing the bandages, George, you're in charge of fooling Madam Pomfrey, and I'll bring Garen over."

"No, no, it's over if I say no..." Ron quickly stopped Fred, but found that the three of them were just talking with their mouths, and they didn't move at all, so he was fooled again.

"It's a fire dragon. I was bitten by a Norwegian Ridgeback."

Ron truthfully explained how he was injured, and the origin of the fire dragon was also explained clearly, including their writing to Charlie.Regardless of whether Ada and the others asked or not, Ron had confessed everything he knew, had a good attitude of pleading guilty, and could consider a lenient punishment.

In addition to the fire dragon, Ron also explained what Harry saw after the match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Harry saw Snape threatening Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest. The people were kind to Quirrell.

Ron's narration solved Ada's previous doubts about Hermione. It turned out that it was because of what she saw with her own eyes that Hermione once again firmly agreed with Harry's statement that Snape was the one who wanted to steal magic. Stone's man.

Ron, who confessed everything, was looking at Ada, and he wanted to know Ada's opinion.

Ada has nothing to say about the thoughts of the three of them, regardless of whether it is Snape or Quirrell, both parties are lying to them.Quirrell misled them into believing that Snape was the villain, and Snape followed suit, making them even more convinced that he was the villain.

The three first-year students were led by the nose by a group of adults, and never thought of lifting the surface to see the hidden truth.

Moreover, these three people did not suspect the origin of this dragon egg, which is what puzzled Ada the most.Ada was hesitating, hesitating whether to speak out to remind Ron.

In the past, Ada didn't need to hesitate at all, she could go directly to Hagrid's cabin with the twins and express her doubts.But now, Ada can't do things so directly, so she hesitates.

This sudden appearance of the fire dragon egg is really a coincidence, especially at such a critical moment, it is so coincidental that people have to doubt it.But neither Hagrid, Harry, Ron, or Hermione had any doubts about this mysterious man.

Hagrid, who got the fire dragon, was ecstatic. Coupled with his own character, it is understandable that he didn't realize it.Already aware of the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, and knowing that someone is playing with the Philosopher's Stone, Harry, Ron, and Hermione have no doubts about the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, which is really disappointing.

"Ron, have you never had any doubts about this dragon egg?" Ada still decided to say it out to remind them that it is not her character to be afraid of wolves before and tigers later.

"Noble? Is there a problem with Norbert?" Ron asked puzzled. "Charlie will come and take it soon."

Ron didn't understand Ada's reminder, but George did. He explained, "There's nothing wrong with the fire dragon, but isn't that stranger who lost to Hagrid's dragon eggs not suspicious at all?"
