Chapter 187 Suspicious Fire Dragon Egg
After a chaotic 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 trial doll on the same level as Professor McGonagall can Ada's life be considered 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. Only by reaching or exceeding this level can Ada not have to worry about the threats from others.
In this way, the only people who could threaten her were Dumbledore and Voldemort.
Voldemort had nothing to say. The two people were in completely different positions. Ada's origin destined her to be the target of the Death Eaters' purges, unless her parents, whom she had never met, were descendants of pure-blood families. But pure-blood twenty Not one of the eight families has the surname Drizzt.
The other threat is not really a threat. Dumbledore is not crazy and cannot do such crazy things. Ada believed that as long as she did not destroy or disturb the implementation of Dumbledore's plan, Dumbledore would not touch her.
Dumbledore will not take the initiative to force Ada to oppose him. As long as Ada does not show a clear tendency to oppose Harry, she and Dumbledore are not enemies.
Anyone with a sane mind would win more people's support instead of making enemies and establishing their authority through killing. Dumbledore is not only a normal person, but also an extremely smart person. He would not do such a thing that would harm himself or others.
As the Easter vacation comes to an end, Hogwarts suddenly becomes busy. While teaching new content, teachers will also lead students to review previously learned content.
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 don't have much time to relax.
Mrs. Pince's temper became more and more irritable when facing Ada. Every time she checked the books borrowed by Ada, she would spend a long time. I don't know whether she really loved these books or because the students in the library were getting more and more irritated. Come more and more.
Of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Pince, who had been rumored to have an affair, 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 kicked out all students who violated library disciplines.
However, there was one person that Mrs. Pince could not drive away. This person rarely appeared in the library, and that was Hagrid. His huge size was not something that Mrs. Pince could drive away.
Hagrid, who wore an unfashionable moleskin coat, often came to the library to read lately. It's hard to imagine Hagrid holding a book and studying hard, but would you still be surprised if the contents of these books were all about fire dragons?
Ada wouldn't find it strange anyway.
The wizarding world passed a bill banning the raising of fire dragons as early as 1709. Hagrid complained privately more than once that this law restricted his love for fire dragons; he also expressed his desire to raise a fire dragon more than once; The biggest common topic between Hagrid and Charlie is the fire dragon. Hagrid also supports with both hands and feet that Charlie goes to Romania to study fire dragons.
In fact, few of the magical animals Hagrid raised were allowed to be kept by private individuals. He had plenty of ways to deal with these dangerous magical animals. So even if Hagrid immediately took out a fire dragon egg from his moleskin coat, Ada would not be frightened. Instead, she 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 is, if Hagrid really owns the dragon egg, where did it come from?
Ada and the twins did not go to Hagrid to find out. Even if Hagrid really raised a fire dragon, it had nothing to do with them. It was not the three of them to worry about where the fire dragon eggs came from. Naturally, someone would ask.
If you don’t believe it, after Hagrid borrowed the book and left, Harry, Ron, and Hermione left immediately. Ada knew without even thinking that the three of them must go find Hagrid. Not only would they find out whether Hagrid had a fire dragon, but they would also find out where Hagrid's fire dragon came from.
Ada's pace of life was not disrupted by Hagrid's sudden appearance in the library, and 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 dinner. Ron was hospitalized. As older siblings, they definitely had to go and see him.
Ron's arm had swollen to twice its original size and looked like a mallet. Fred just touched it lightly, and Ron let out a howl like a killing pig.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why did it become so swollen like this?" George, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, asked.
"Bitten by a dog." Ron said in a low voice. He had no confidence in what he said and could not deceive anyone at all. If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. Only when you believe it yourself can others believe it.
Ada walked to the bedside and carefully looked at Ron's bitten hand. She said, "Maybe I should take off the bandage and take a look, and then let Garon bite little Ronny, so that we can know Was it bitten by a dog?"
"Yes, why didn't I think of it." Fred clapped his hands in sudden realization, "Ada, you are responsible for removing the bandages, George, you are responsible for fooling Madam Pomfrey, and I will bring Gallon over."
"No, no, it's over if I say no..." Ron quickly stopped Fred, but found that the three people were just talking and didn't move at all. He was fooled again.
"It's a fire dragon. I was bitten by a Norwegian Ridgeback."
Ron truthfully told the story of his injury, and the origin of the fire dragon was also explained clearly, including the letter they wrote to Charlie. Regardless of whether Ada or the others asked, Ron confessed everything he knew. He had a good attitude in pleading guilty and could consider a lenient punishment.
In addition to the fire dragon, Ron also told what Harry saw after the game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Harry saw Snape threatening Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest. It was only after that that they persuaded those around him. The people were kind to Quirrell.
Ron's narration solved Ada's previous doubts about Hermione. It turned out that it was because of seeing it with her own eyes that Hermione once again firmly agreed with Harry's statement and believed that Snape was the one who wanted to steal magic. The stone man.
Ron, who had confessed everything, was looking at Ada, and he wanted to know what Ada thought.
Ada had nothing to say about what the three of them thought. Regardless of whether it was Snape or Quirrell, both parties were 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.
These three first-year students were led by a group of adults and never thought of lifting the surface to see the hidden truth.
Moreover, these three people did not raise any doubts about the origin of this dragon egg. This was what puzzled Ada the most. Ada was hesitating, wondering whether she should remind Ron verbally.
If it had been in the past, Ada wouldn't have had to hesitate at all. She could have gone directly to Hagrid's hut with the twins and expressed her suspicions. But now, Ada can't do things so directly, so she hesitates.
The sudden appearance of this fire dragon egg was such a coincidence, especially at such a juncture, that the coincidence had to make people suspicious. But neither Hagrid nor Harry, Ron, or Hermione had any doubts about this mysterious man.
Hagrid was overjoyed to get the fire dragon, and given his own personality, it was understandable that he didn't notice it. Already aware of the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, and knowing that someone was trying to plot the Philosopher's Stone, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had no doubts about the sudden appearance of the mysterious man. This was really disappointing.
"Ron, have you never had any doubts about this dragon egg?" Ada decided to speak out to remind them that it is not her character to be afraid of wolves and tigers.
"Norbert? What's the problem with Norbert?" Ron asked puzzledly, "Charlie will come and take it away soon."
Ron didn't understand Ada's reminder, but George understood it. He explained: "There is nothing wrong with the fire dragon, but isn't the stranger who lost Hagrid's fire dragon egg not suspicious at all?"
