Chapter 52: Accidentally Turning Around Fantastic Beasts

Hagrid kept slapping his beard to extinguish the sparks.

This dragon flame came a little unexpectedly, but Hagrid's eyes were still full of love when he looked at Norbert, "Of course, it still needs some training."

Norbert coughed a few times, and black smoke mixed with sparks came out of his mouth.

Crack! Crack!

At this time, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the hut,

"What sound?" Hermione frowned, "Hagrid, what other magical creatures do you have?"

"No, really no.

Although I also want to raise more, Hogwarts does not allow it.

Besides, hatching Norbert has consumed most of my energy."

"But what's the sound?" Ron asked puzzledly, "It's like the eggshell is cracking, and it's cracking very frequently."

"I think I know what's going on." Harry stretched out his index finger and pointed to the other side of the table in surprise.

Abe, who woke up at some point, was chewing a broken eggshell, chewing it slowly, and it seemed to be eating with relish.

To Abei, the quality of these eggshells is nothing compared to his. There is only a tiny bit of magic in them, and no nutrition.

But mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are!

The eggshells of the young dragons when they were just born are also a good snack for them in their infancy.

Crunchy and taste like chicken legs.

"What?" Hermione's eyes widened, "Didn't you say it was foolproof? What's going on now?"

"How should I know?" Ron was also surprised, but he still explained, "There should be no problem with our plan. If you don't believe me, ask Harry.

Even if I'm careless and something goes wrong, he's still there as a second insurance."

Harry thought of something, put a small purple bottle on the table, and then stared at Hagrid with some complaints, "Hagrid, is the sleeping potion you gave expired?"

"That's impossible." Hagrid picked up the sleeping potion and explained patiently, "As long as it's for animals, I won't allow myself to make any mistakes.

In other words, there won't be any expired medicines in my hut.

Could it be that you added too little?"

The three looked at each other. They hoped that they had made such a low-level mistake, but the facts were quite the opposite.

"Hagrid, these two idiots added six drops of sleeping potion to Abe.

If this is considered a small amount, we really don't know how much to add. We can't just add the whole bottle!"

"Six drops?" Hagrid looked at Harry and Ron, who were looking down with guilt, in astonishment. "Are you crazy?

Even lions, tigers, and even elephants can be paralyzed with one drop.

Even a magical animal cub like Norbert can take a nap with five drops.

You use six drops to bully a cat. Do you think it is more powerful than a dragon?"

"Actually, this is really an accident." Harry said weakly, "Besides, isn't Abe still alive and kicking now?"

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Abe who was gnawing on the eggshell, and then looked at him carefully. He looked at the purple bottle carefully and was a little at a loss for a moment, "This is impossible!"

Ron was relieved when he saw this, "I told you! The sleeping pills must have expired."

"What nonsense, I spent a lot of money to get it, and the shelf life is still three years!"

"Then how do you explain this?

You can't even handle a cat, I seriously suspect that you have been deceived, Hagrid."

"I won't be wrong." Hagrid shook his head, a gleam in his eyes, "There is only one possibility now, Abe is not a cat.

I was just a little suspicious, but now I can be 100% sure.

Abe is definitely a magical animal, and the quality is definitely not low, even better than dragons and phoenixes."

Gurgle!

Hearing this, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all swallowed their saliva.

They thought they were going to 'steal' a cat, and the pressure in their hearts was not that great. At most, it was a prank between classmates, as long as they were not discovered.

But now there is a direct reversal of the two poles, and a magical creature has been kidnapped. Isn't this too exciting!

If the people in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures knew about this, the three of them...

No, there are four people including Hagrid, and the four of them may be invited to the Ministry of Magic for tea.

Draco outside the hut was also shocked. He was even a little glad that he stayed here tonight at the risk of being caught by Filch.

Originally, it was a great harvest to catch the evidence of Granger's "betrayal", but who knew that he was lucky enough to see the dragon hatching, which was a pleasant surprise, buy one get one free!

Catching all four Gryffindors in one fell swoop, even if he, Draco Malfoy, was caught by Filch, it would be worth it.

But he never expected that there would be an easter egg at the end. Abe was not a cat, but a magical animal comparable to a dragon and a phoenix.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also natural. After all, Abe's performance is not like a cat at all. It is too smart, too cute, and too human.

If such a cat is for sale, he will definitely buy one.

I hope Crabbe and Goyle can be quicker. Although this drama is wonderful, Aaron's absence is a bit of a pity.

In the hut, Ron stuttered, "Hagrid, you are not kidding, are you?"

"Kidding?" Hagrid smiled meaningfully, "Have you ever seen a cat eat eggshells? Or dragon eggshells."

Ron's face froze. The facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

"What should we do now?" Harry asked, "This is a magical creature, not an ordinary cat. Hagrid, are you still watching?"

"Of course I have to watch it.

Abe is likely to be a magical creature that has not yet been discovered by the magic world. It is very necessary to observe it."

"But Abe is awake now, not asleep.

We can't just catch him!" Hermione frowned with some worry, "What if we hurt him? How can I explain to Aaron?"

"Hermione." Hagrid took a deep breath and said patiently: "I have always regarded magical animals as friends. I promise not to hurt it."

Hagrid stood up, picked up the umbrella with the wand hidden in it, and walked towards Abe carefully, even ignoring Norbert who was crying for food on the table.

But the next moment, Hermione opened her arms and blocked him in front of her. She raised her head and looked at him, "No, I can't let you do this."

"Why?"

"I brought Abe here, and I have the responsibility to protect him."

Hagrid was stunned, then scratched his head with a wry smile, "I can't bear to hurt him either.

Hermione, I'm really curious about Abe.

You also know my love for magical animals. I just want to observe it up close. Is that not okay?"

"This..."

"Don't forget, you promised me.

You won't break your promise, will you?"

Hermione bit her lip, feeling very entangled, and regretted getting on Harry and Ron's pirate ship.

Hagrid told them about the relevant personnel involved in protecting the Philosopher's Stone, so they naturally had to return the favor and meet his conditions.

Originally, this was nothing. Hagrid was a simple and honest giant, and also their good friend. His character was absolutely trustworthy.

But the problem is that Abe's identity is too complicated. With Hagrid's love for magical animals, who knows what he will do. The fact that he dared to violate school rules and secretly raise a Norwegian Ridgeback in school is enough to explain the problem.

If he gets angry, he might go directly to Aaron, and then everything will be exposed, and their relationship will probably have a big crack.

As if seeing Hermione's embarrassment, Hagrid turned his head helplessly and looked at Harry and Ron, hoping that these two Gryffindors could help him speak.

But the two of them looked up at the ceiling in tacit understanding, pretending that they didn't see anything.

What a joke, they just don't like to study, but their IQ and EQ are not low.

In this situation, it's useless to help anyone, and staying out of it is the best choice.

"Okay! Hermione." Hagrid put down his umbrella, "I admit that I like magical creatures, but you are also my favorite Gryffindor.

Since you don't want to, I won't make it difficult for you."

"Thank you." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Hagrid with some shame, "Sorry, I made you happy for nothing."

Hagrid smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about.

I'm very lucky tonight. Norbert was born, and it was confirmed that Abe is a magical creature.

I will find a way to talk to Aaron when I want to get close to it. You have to help me talk to him then."

"I will, but Abe is very important to Aaron. I dare not make any promises."

"There will always be a chance. Aaron will go to Hogwarts for seven years!" Hagrid looked at Abe who was walking towards the next eggshell with some reluctance, "Let's look at my Norbert first!"
