After Hagrid left with Fang in his arms, Kyle turned to look at Harry and the other two and said with a smile, "So the egg is in the fireplace... How long are you going to hide it?"

"Oh..." Ron complained in a low voice: "Hermione, didn't you say you had read that book before? How come you didn't know that dragon eggs would smell in the fire... or did you read the wrong title?"

"Shut up, how is that possible? Do you think I'm you?!" Hermione said unhappily, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a book that the school requires us to buy. Of course I have read it, and more than once."

"Then how..."

"Don't ask, I don't know!" Hermione scratched her hair and said, "I never remember saying this in the book. It only says how to hatch dragon eggs!"

As they spoke, the three of them turned their gazes towards Kyle at the same time.

Ron asked suspiciously, "You didn't make this up, did you?"

Compared to Kyle, he trusted Hermione more. After all, Hermione had never made a mistake in memorizing textbooks.

"What about Fangya?" Kyle said, "I don't think it will cooperate with me."

Harry thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... it just happens to be feeling unwell."

"Then it's quite good at choosing the right time."

Kyle picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then said to Hermione, "I think you must have bought the book before school started."

"Yes, when I first went to Diagon Alley." Hermione frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

Kyle spread his hands and said, "In fact, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has been revised many times. I guess the people at Flourish and Blotts gave you the previous version."

As he spoke, he took out his book and handed it to Hermione.

"You can see for yourself."

After Hermione took it, she quickly turned to the page about dragons.

Just like what Kyle said, it actually said that.

Looking at the publication dates, the two books were published more than 50 years apart.

"This is too much..." Hermione said angrily, "This is cheating, how could they do this!"

"This is normal. Newt has revised it so many times, but the cover has never changed. If you don't open it and look at it, it's hard to tell whether it is the latest version or not."

"Plus, there were a lot of people buying books before school started, so the clerk probably didn't notice that he had picked up the wrong one."

Hermione remembered that when she went to Flourish and Blotts, all the textbooks needed for Hogwarts were placed at the door, except for the box containing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was empty.

Moreover, the shop assistants were very busy at that time, and the book in her hand was found by herself from the corner of the bookshelf.

"Oh, damn!"

Hermione got even angrier, but this time it was at herself.

She found that the content in Kyle's book was obviously much more detailed. If she had known, she would have waited a little longer.

"If you really care about it, you can take it to Flourish and Blotts to exchange it during the holidays. I think they will agree." Kyle said with a smile.

Fifty years ago was the peak period of Newt's creation. Sometimes the newly revised version would be overturned and rewritten within a few days, so there were not many old books in stock at that time.

These books are of little use to ordinary people, but it is different for those bookstores. In order to show off their rich collection of books, they usually display a complete set of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

"No!"

Hermione returned the book to Kyle, "It doesn't cost much anyway. I decided to buy another one later."

After saying that, she sat back on the stool next to her.

It was too hot in front of the fireplace. Since Kyle had already found the dragon eggs, there was no need to go back and suffer.

Harry and Ron followed.

Without them blocking his view, Kyle could see the big black egg hidden under the kettle at a glance.

"That's right." At this time, Hagrid walked in.

After closing the door, he said excitedly, "How is it? It's rare, right?"

Kyle nodded.

The Norwegian Ridgeback is second only to the Hungarian Horntail and the Australian White Eye, and is indeed rare.

…

On his way to find the rowan tree, Hagrid kept looking back at his hut.

"You should go back and take care of the dragon eggs. I know the way, so you don't have to go with me."

Hagrid shook his head firmly, "No, I can't let you go to the Forbidden Forest alone!"

"Okay then, I'll try to pick it faster." Kyle sighed in disappointment.

"But then again, how did you buy the dragon eggs?"

"I didn't buy it, I won it," said Hagrid. "I'm really lucky. A few days ago, someone who often drinks with me came to me and said that there was a man in the village playing cards with others with a dragon egg. He asked if I was interested."

"So you went to Hogsmeade?"

"I didn't want to go. You know, the Forbidden Forest has been in turmoil recently, but those are dragon eggs..." Hagrid lowered his voice and said excitedly, "That man was too stupid. I just used a little trick to trick him."

Kyle looked at the smug Hagrid, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing.

Being tricked by Hagrid... that speaks volumes.

"But what are your plans after it hatches?" Kyle asked.

"Oh, I've been reading." Hagrid turned his head and looked back at his hut.

"After it hatches, feed it a bucket of chicken blood brandy every half hour."

"Then you have to be careful," Kyle said. "Norwegian Ridgebacks are not a quiet species. They are as aggressive as Hungarian Horntails. It's impossible not to be discovered."

"Um...yeah, I'll be careful." Hagrid responded vaguely.

When he thought about the fact that he would be able to raise a dragon soon, why would he care about anything else?

"In that case." Kyle patted Hagrid's arm and said meaningfully, "If you need any help in the future, just let me know. Don't hesitate to ask."

The fire dragon grows very fast, and it only takes one month for it to surpass the current Lu Wei.

Kyle decided that he would take the time to expand the box when he returned.

…

The two of them came to the vicinity of the Moon Madness's lair. The mountain pear trees here were the best growing ones nearby.

Kyle walked over and examined the trunks of the rowan trees carefully, while Hagrid stood guard absent-mindedly by the side.

His mind was always on the dragon eggs in the cottage. He was worried whether the fire in the fireplace would go out, and whether Harry and the others would break the dragon eggs.

This made him look more and more nervous. He couldn't help but look back and wished he could go back immediately.

On the other side, Kyle looked around and soon found two young and less lush mountain pear trees.

This is the most suitable choice. It is much easier to transplant and is more likely to survive.
