Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 30: Dragon in the Forbidden Forest
Malfoy turned to Hagrid, his voice tinged with panic: "What are we going to do?"
Hagrid led the way to the edge of the dark forest, and said casually, "Look for a fire dragon."
It wasn't just Malfoy, Sean and Harry also stopped in unison.
"Are you crazy? Fire dragon?!" Malfoy's voice became sharper, "I want to write a letter to tell my father that he is the school manager of Hogwarts, and he will never allow this to happen..."
"Then go ahead, if you get fired, see what he can do!" Hagrid said roughly, "If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price!"
Malfoy choked. He was about to say something more, but finally kept his mouth shut.
"Hagrid, dragon? Are you sure?" Harry was also a little scared.
Hagrid waved his hands indifferently, and showed a fluffy smile at Sean and Harry: "Don't worry! It's just a little guy!"
"Little guy?" Sean didn't quite trust the "little" in Hagrid's mouth.
With my magical animal affinity as high as nine points, I should find some less dangerous magical animals to test first, instead of facing the fire dragon when I come up.
"Of course," Hagrid nodded earnestly, "If it was an adult dragon, there would have been a breakdown in the Forbidden Forest."
"But, how could a fire dragon, even a cub, come to the Forbidden Forest?" Sean asked puzzled.
Hagrid shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not sure about that, I've only seen a few claw marks on that fire dragon, and I can't tell them apart for the time being."
As he said that, he raised his lantern to signal for several people to follow: "Don't worry, I've already checked. That little guy is struggling to even hunt a small deer. If it wasn't for it, it would continue to grow, and I don't bother to care about it."
During the conversation, they had already entered the Forbidden Forest.
Following the secret path, after passing a moss-covered stump, there are already tall trees all around.
Hagrid raised his quiver: "Okay, follow me closely, we need to find the trace of that little guy."
Sean held up his wand and walked at the end, and by the way, looked at the traces on the ground with the help of the faint fluorescence of the head of the wand.
They searched around, but couldn't find what they wanted, Hagrid frowned.
"Did you run in? It's a bit troublesome..."
They followed Hagrid to go deeper.
"Hagrid, look at this." Sean called to the gamekeeper, who found messy claw marks on a tree stump.
Hagrid looked at it for a while, and then showed an excited look: "Yes, it should be it."
While walking along the trail, Sean asked softly: "Why did the fire dragon cubs appear in the Forbidden Forest? I read some information in the book that female dragons will try their best to protect their children."
Hagrid scratched his beard and whispered, "Actually, I have a guess."
"What?"
"It's related to a piece of news that Professor Kettleburn told me." Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn is the professor of the Protection of Magical Beasts. It is said that he has had at least sixty-two probation periods during his tenure.
Those artificial limbs couldn't stand his tossing.
Hagrid lowered his voice mysteriously: "He told me that the habitat of the black dragons in the Hebrides Islands was attacked by a very brutal Hungarian Horntail, and those black dragons fled in all directions. In the past six months, people from the McFasty clan have been searching for the escaped black dragons all over Europe."
Sean showed a weird look, he still remembered the story, and the dragon heartstring of the Hungarian Horntail was now in his wand.
Hagrid continued: "I suspect that this little guy may have been separated from the female dragon, or maybe its mother is dead, so it didn't dare to return to its original habitat, and finally flew here in the Forbidden Forest by accident."
"Then why didn't you notify the McFasty clan?" Sean asked puzzled.
Hagrid showed an unnatural expression, he hesitated and said: "Oh, there is no confirmation, lest they return without success, yes, that's it."
Sean narrowed his eyes, Hagrid probably wants to raise that dragon by himself...
Seeing his expression, Hagrid became more and more unnatural, and he muttered: "I just want to take a few more glances. Originally, this errand was not my turn. Professor Kettleburn happened to be bitten by his animal..."
Just as Sean was about to continue speaking, Malfoy's terrified voice sounded: "Then, what is that!"
They turned their heads and saw a long trail of bright red blood being dragged out on a clearing in the forest.
Hagrid approached the blood stain vigilantly, he lowered his head and smelled it: "It's the blood of a deer..."
He made a silent gesture to Xiao En and the others, and then walked forward slowly following the bloodstains.
Sean followed Hagrid, and after a short walk, the blood trail stopped.
Hagrid showed a surprised smile, and he said in a very low voice: "Look, this may be a sight that is hard for you to see~IndoMTL.com~ Sean sticks out his head behind him, and in the clearing behind the bushes, a juvenile fire dragon is eagerly biting the body of a fawn.
It has black, rough scales, and a row of shallow, but razor-sharp ridges along its back. Its tail ends with a tapered arrowhead, and its wings are bat-like.
This fire dragon is indeed like Hai Ge said, it is still a young dragon, it looks about seven feet in length. For some reason, Xiao En saw some childishness in the bright purple eyes of the fire dragon, like a childish child.
"It really is the black dragon of the Hebrides..." Hagrid murmured.
There was surprise and love in his eyes.
Sean also showed a look of surprise, this is the first time in his two lives that he has seen a live and moving fire dragon.
"Oh, by the looks of it, the kid must be starving." Facing the black dragon who was wolfing it down and completely oblivious to its surroundings, Hagrid showed a pity expression.
"Hagrid, what are we going to do next?" Sean reminded.
"Oh, yes, we have to take it out." Hagrid showed a regretful look, but he was responsible for these children.
He drew an arrow from the quiver, then pulled out a paper bag.
After carefully opening the paper package, Hagrid rolled the white powder inside with an arrow.
"The things extracted from the venom of the giant color-changing snail have a very strong anesthetic effect, especially for fire dragons." He explained.
Hagrid drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the little black dragon from the Hebrides, who was still eagerly eating.
"Sorry, kid," he muttered.
But before the arrow was fired, the nearby ground suddenly shook!
