Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 85 Fire Dragon Egg

The fact that Quirrell no longer stuttered quickly spread throughout the school, and everyone knew that it was done with the help of Professor Haimer.

What many people didn't expect was that it was actually a curse, but they didn't know that it was just a prank, so in their eyes, Professor Highmore became even more unpredictable.

Especially Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Many days have passed since they were deducted points, and no one is willing to pay attention to them. Fortunately, according to Hermione, the exam is about to come—although it is quite resentful to describe the ten weeks as immediately, But Harry and Ron continued to carry out Hermione's review plan honestly, and they had nothing else to do.

On this day, they were staying in the library, and Ron was quietly analyzing the reasons why Professor Highmore helped Quirrell—

"Hermione overheard Professor Highmore threatening Quirrell with a magic circle at first, but now we have all seen it with our own eyes, Quirrell has solved his stuttering problem, so it is not a threat at all, but Professor Highmore wants to help Quirrell That's all."

"He wasn't badly influenced by ancient magic, and he didn't think about stealing the Philosopher's Stone. It's just that his idea of ​​helping people is different. Well, it's different. That's why Quirrell's reaction was so big, and he mistook it as a threat. "

"Also, when Quirrell was admitted to the school hospital on the day of the competition, he begged for mercy only to Professor Haimer. Just like us, he also misunderstood Professor Haimer's intentions. You didn't see that he is everywhere now. Say something nice about Professor Highmore."

"As for the mysterious patient who was later admitted to the school hospital—if you think about it boldly, it might be the person who really wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, or it might just be some unlucky guy who passed out in front of the school gate and didn't have time to go to St. He died, so he was placed in the school hospital."

"all in all--"

Ron concludes: "It's pretty stupid of us to do a bunch of stupid things for a guess that doesn't exist, and get points deducted from the house."

Originally they thought that Professor Haimer was threatening Quirrell, but after the incident that Quirrell no longer stuttered, they didn't think so.

The whole incident had nothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone. Hermione thought that the threat was only Professor Highmore's undeniable help. This was not surprising, after all, Professor Highmore's style had always been like this.

There is nothing suspicious about Mason's door, it may just be that Professor Haimer is preparing for future courses, or it may be some weird research or something.

In the end, it was only the three of them who were really stupid, imagining a lot of things, only to find that it didn't work at all, and turned Gryffindor into the bottom of the house.

Harry and Hermione blushed fiercely, and they lowered their heads deeply, passing the book "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Fungi" in a hurry.Ron looked at them left and right, and he was silent for a long time.

No one wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, they all wronged Professor Highmore.

Since the beginning of school, they have made many mistakes, but in the end they got such an empty result. Especially this kind of drama of mistaken good people for bad people has also been staged many times.

Ron threw the quill away. He couldn't take it anymore, and looked out the library window helplessly.

Today's weather is simply wonderful, the sky is clear and clear, blue like the color of forget-me-not flowers, but on the contrary, they are in a very bad mood.

Suddenly, Harry heard Ron say, "Hagrid! What are you doing in the library?"

Hagrid came stomping over, hiding something behind him.He looked out of place in his moleskin overcoat.

"Let's see," said Hagrid, with an evasive voice that caught their interest right away.

"What are you doing here?" He suddenly looked suspicious: "Still looking for Nicole Flamel, aren't you?"

"Oh, we knew who he was hundreds of years ago." Ron's mood finally improved a little bit, which was one of the few real gains for them: "We also know what's hidden in that room, It's the Philosopher's Stone—"

"Hush—" Hagrid looked around quickly to see if anyone heard, "Stop yelling, what the hell are you trying to do?"

"We—" For a moment, the curiosity that had just surged in Harry was extinguished, and he thought of Professor Highmore with the appearance of a long-horned hydra.

"We don't think about anything anymore." Harry said discouragedly: "We just hope that we can pass Professor Highmore's exam well, so that Gryffindor will not be deducted zero points."

Ron sighed, and Hermione nodded in frustration.

"This is really strange, you finally stopped thinking about it."

Hagrid was surprised, and at the same time he had some sympathy for the three people who were sad: "Well, you come to me in a while, maybe I can have something to cheer you up."

"What is it?" Harry asked curiously.

Hagrid refused to speak, and stomped away.

"What's he hiding behind his back?" said Hermione thoughtfully.

"I don't know." Harry shook his head: "I just know that we shouldn't cause trouble anymore. Think about it, what will Professor Highmore do if he also finds out what we learned about the Philosopher's Stone?"

Ron, who was going to look for it on the bookshelf, also became calm, and Harry suddenly reminded him-fortunately, Professor Highmore didn't know what happened, and he didn't know that they had suspected each other, otherwise Punishment is more than just that.

An hour later they left the library and knocked on the door of the gamekeeper's cabin.

All the curtains in the room were drawn tightly, and Hagrid first yelled "Who is it?" before letting them in, and then turned around and closed the door quickly.

The hut was suffocatingly hot, and the three of them immediately noticed the big egg in the middle of the fire, which looked dark.

"Don't say this is the surprise you gave us." Harry said in horror.

He couldn't help but be afraid, that egg looked unusual, who knew what kind of terrifying life, or monster, was conceived inside.

"Uh," Hai Ge said anxiously, "I thought you guys would also like fire dragons, it's not common—"

"Dragon?!" Hermione exclaimed, "You mean it's a dragon egg? This is a Class A prohibited trade item. You are breaking the law, Hagrid."

"It's not that serious." Hagrid said, waving his hand. "I just won it when I drank from the village. I guess the man is eager to get rid of it."

"Oh, of course the other party will do this." Ron said: "Because this just happens to prevent that person from going to jail."

"I said," Hagrid looked at them puzzled, "Why do you react so strongly? I will take good care of it. This is a Norwegian Ridgeback, and it's rare."

"Hagrid." Harry stared at Hagrid seriously and said, "We can't let you do this. Can you imagine what Professor Highmore would do if he knew about it? You can't hide this dragon well." , you live in a wooden house."

"You mean Toby?" Hagrid blinked. "What happened to Toby?"

Hermione wailed and said: "Once he knows that we helped you hide the dragon egg, he will definitely detain Gryffindor House as a zero light egg. You should also belong to Gryffindor House, Hagrid, you You don't want to see this result, do you?"

"Of course not, but—"

"It's nothing to worry about," Ron immediately interrupted, "It's not just about deducting points, Professor Haimer may also put you in confinement. The confinement of the three of us hasn't started yet, and you want to be with us." ?"

"How is it possible, I'm not a student." Hagrid shook his huge head, "Toby wouldn't do that to me."

"Are you sure, Hagrid?" Harry asked in a low voice, "Professor Highmore has already had a fight with Snape, do you really think he will turn a blind eye? Even Headmaster Dumbledore will have no excuse protect you."

Hagrid finally hesitated.

"Should not be?"
