Soon, the Hogwarts campus, which had been quiet for a month, became lively again.
"You bought all these?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't help but open their mouths wide as they looked at the pile of snacks in front of them.
Ron pouted and said, "Nouveau riche!"
Although he said so, Ron's eyes still revealed boundless envy.
Draco waved his hand in a very heroic manner and said, "Take whatever you like! My father plans to open a safe for me in the newly opened Gringotts in Hogsmeade Village. I will never be short of money in the future!"
Hearing what Draco said, the three of them did not hesitate to pick from the mountain of snacks.
Soon, the four of them were eating snacks together and talking about their holiday life.
However, since Harry already knew about Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone, he did not use his newly acquired invisibility cloak to sneak into the library during the holidays as in the original book, nor did he discover the Mirror of Erised.
So, the vacation for four people seemed much more boring.
But soon, Hermione spoke up, "I've thought a lot during the holidays, and I think we should tell Hagrid about the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible. Since Snape already knows about the three-headed dog, the next time he makes a move, he must have mastered a way to deal with the three-headed dog!"
Hearing Hermione's words, Ron said disapprovingly:
"It's impossible to deal with such a large magical creature without attracting other people's attention!"
Hearing Ron's words, Draco habitually retorted:
"Any magical creature has its weaknesses! If Professor Snape really wanted to deal with a three-headed dog, he would definitely find a way."
Hearing Draco's rebuttal, Ron was about to speak, but was interrupted by Hermione. Hermione waved her hands, motioning for the two to be quiet, and then said: "Anyway, it's better to tell Hagrid about this than not to tell him!"
So, one evening when it was getting dark, the four of them came to Hagrid's hut and knocked on Hagrid's door.
When Hagrid opened the door and saw the four people outside, he immediately said without hesitation: "Okay, I'm not interested in any detective games you guys are playing, and I don't want to hear what you have to say. I'm busy now!"
After saying that, Hagrid pretended to close the door, but at this moment, Hermione spoke first: "Hagrid, we already know about Nick Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone!"
Hearing Hermione's words, Hagrid was stunned, then sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, well, come in then!"
As soon as the four of them entered Hagrid's hut, Draco covered his nose and said:
"Oh my god, what does that smell in here? Seriously, Hagrid, do you never clean your room?"
The others didn't bother to pay attention to this, and Harry spoke directly: "Hagrid, listen to me, Professor Snape has set his eyes on the Philosopher's Stone! On Halloween, he wanted to sneak into the room under the three-headed dog to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but was stopped by the three-headed dog!"
"If Snape strikes again next time, he must have found a way to deal with the three-headed dog. It's no longer safe there, Hagrid. You must tell Dumbledore about this right away!"
Hearing Harry's words, Hagrid seemed a little absent-minded and said perfunctorily:
"Okay, Harry, you little brats, this is not something you should worry about! If you have this time, you might as well read a few more books and learn a few more spells! Look at Wentworth, he hasn't even left the gate of Hogwarts yet, but he's about to become a household name!"
After hearing Hagrid's words, the four people present were speechless.
Hagrid quickly said, "Oh, it's getting late. I think you should go back!"
However, Harry and the others ignored Hagrid and followed the source of the sound. They saw a bucket on fire in Hagrid's room, which was constantly making collision sounds.
Harry and the others turned their eyes in Hagrid's direction. Seeing this, Hagrid shook his head and then took out a huge egg from the bucket.
Looking at the egg in front of them that seemed to be as big as a football, Harry and the others opened their eyes wide and asked in confusion: "Oh my God, Hagrid, what is this?"
Hagrid was trying to cover it up, but he heard Ron say, "I know what it is. Oh my god, Hagrid, where did you get this?"
Hearing Ron's words, Hagrid said helplessly, "I won this in a bet with a stranger in a bar!"
At this moment, cracks began to appear on this huge egg. Soon, with a foot breaking out of the egg, the entire giant egg broke into pieces, revealing a small dragon-like creature.
Looking at the creature that suddenly appeared in front of her, Hermione said in disbelief: "Could this be a dragon?"
Ron then responded:
"This is no ordinary dragon, it's a Norwegian Spinosaurus, my brother studies them in Romania!"
Draco said with shining eyes:
"Oh my god, that's so cool! Hagrid, name a price, I'll buy this dragon!"
Hagrid didn't even look at Draco. At this moment, it seemed that there was only this dragon in Hagrid's eyes. He said gently: "I won't sell it. It's like my child. What mother would sell her own child? Look, it knows its mother!"
As he was speaking, Hagrid even reached out his hand, intending to stroke the little dragon in front of him. At this moment, the wooden door of Hagrid's hut was suddenly opened from the outside, and at the same time, a voice came from the door:
"I don't know whether it recognizes its mother, but it definitely recognizes its food!"
Hagrid, Harry and the others turned around and looked towards the door in horror. After all, keeping a dragon was against the law, not to mention the school rules of Hogwarts! Although Hogwarts strongly encouraged students to keep various animals to cultivate their love, dragons were definitely not one of them.
When everyone saw the familiar figure appear at the door, Hagrid, Harry and others breathed a sigh of relief.
And Hagrid said with a look of joy:
"Hey, Wentworth, come on in and see Norbert!"
Hagrid's affection for Wentworth was almost beyond words, which was completely different from when Harry and others appeared in front of his door before.
After all, no school key manager would dislike a good student who doesn’t forget to give himself gifts at Christmas, right?
Facing the enthusiastic Hagrid, Wentworth pointed at Hagrid's chin and said, "Aren't you hot?"
Hagrid looked down and discovered that his beard was on fire!
