Chapter 898 Hagrid gets his wish
Alchemical Mist, one of Beauxbatons' most important means of protection, was also used by Nicolas Flamel at the entrance of his own manor. Needless to say, its role was great.
Although Kyle's alchemy level is not as good as that of Victor and Nicolas Flamel, he does not need to protect the entire Hogwarts. He only needs to create a patch on the edge of the Forbidden Forest to block the sight of the castle.
It wasn't difficult to do. I basically carved the frame of the symbol in one day. Hagrid went back and forth between the hut and the castle more than a dozen times. After confirming that there were problems in all directions, Kyle put down his hand. wand.
This stuff cannot be completed in a day or two, just take your time with the remaining details.
"Eat something, I brought it for you from the kitchen." Hagrid came over carrying a whole roasted leg of beef and handed it to Kyle without any explanation.
Kyle's arm sank, so that he was not thrown to the ground. He briefly suspected that Hagrid had mistaken him for Grawp.
“I thank you…”
“Hi, how are you welcome?”
Kyle tugged at the corner of his mouth, holding the cow leg and not knowing where to start for a while, but finally cut off a piece with his wand.
Looking at Hagrid again, he was leaning towards the Hungarian Horntail again with a coveted face, completely forgetting how many wounds he had sustained on his body.
However, the Horntail had been busy all day, and now he was a little tired. He lay on the ground and closed his eyes, as if he hadn't seen Hagrid.
Hagrid also touched the rough scales and hard and sharp tail stings of the Horntail as he wished.
“Oh, look, Kyle, he finally recognizes me.” Hagrid had tears in his eyes, as happy as a child over three meters tall.
“If thinking so makes you happy.” Kyle swallowed the beef shank in his mouth with difficulty, and shook the rest in front of the Horntail's eyes.
Seeing that it didn't move, I simply stuffed it into its mouth.
The Horntail got up angrily, slapped Hagrid with its tail, and tried to fight Kyle.
But after smacking its mouth, it lay down on the ground again and chewed the roasted beef shank to pieces like French fries.
“Hagrid?”
“It's okay, I'm okay…”
Hagrid limped over.
Kyle didn't care when he saw this.
He finally understood that the hybrid giant was not only big in size, but also very strong in body. In addition, he had the ability to fight with his giant brother for a long time. Although Hagrid would be injured when facing the hornets, he would still be injured. But there is no life danger.
So after Kyle reminded him a few times, he ignored it.
After wondering about the hornets for a while, Hagrid reluctantly walked over.
“Kyle, are you sure you want to keep the fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest?”
"Of course, why else would I bother so much?" Kyle said, "What, you don't want to?"
"How is it possible? I have always dreamed of raising a fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid said loudly: "But I am worried that the Auror will come to trouble you. Raising a fire dragon is a serious crime."
"It doesn't matter." Kyle took out a piece of parchment, "I have a certificate and it's legal to raise."
"Proof of legal dragon raising?" Hagrid glanced at it and said with envy on his face: "As expected of someone who has been a senior assistant minister, he can actually get such a good thing!"
Hagrid has basically been living in Hogwarts since he was expelled. He doesn't know the true value of this parchment. He only assumes that Kyle got it through the Ministry of Magic.
This is the same as clearing Sirius's grievances. Although Hagrid knew that it was difficult, he couldn't tell what the specific difficulty was.
Kyle didn't explain it either.
"There is one more thing you may want to pay attention to." Hagrid seemed to have thought of something and said: "The centaurs may not be happy if a fire dragon appears in the Forbidden Forest. They will definitely come to cause trouble."
"They all moved from other places, do they really regard the Forbidden Forest as their own territory?" Kyle laughed, "It doesn't matter, if they don't agree, just go and drive away the fire dragon. If they can do it, I will No comment.”
Hagrid nodded.
To be honest, he didn't like those horse people very much. The three-headed dog Lu Wei he had originally placed was a lot of shame for him.
Also recently, when he wanted his brother Grawp to temporarily live in the Forbidden Forest, the centaurs also disagreed ten thousand times. In the end, they moved out of Dumbledore, and they reluctantly calmed down.
“Okay, you must have a way.” Hagrid said.
Kyle nodded and opened his box again.
The fiery red fireball dragon exuded a metallic luster and its iron belly, and the long-horned dragon with golden horns emerged from the box one after another, flapping its wings and flying deep into the forbidden forest.
These fire dragons are not very young, and when they are full of curiosity, it is rare for them to be in a new environment, so Kyle lets them out to play.
“Bang!”
Kyle vaguely seemed to hear something... It was the sound of Hagrid's chin hitting the ground.
When he turned back, he saw Hagrid standing there blankly... Kyle swore that he had never noticed that Hagrid's eyes were so big, and they were emitting twinkling golden lights. They looked like two Golden Snitch.
“Fireball Dragon…”
“Iron belly…”
“Oh, that's the Romanian Longhorn, the living Longhorn... Merlin, I must be dreaming, right?”
“You're not dreaming.” Kyle tugged Hagrid's arm, “Let's go, you'll have plenty of time to look at them later.”
The first pull didn't move, the second pull still didn't move…
Hagrid stood there firmly as if he had grown up on the ground.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere!" He said with the same firmness, "I have decided that I will live here in the future."
“This…isn't appropriate.” Kyle frowned.
He wouldn't mind giving Hagrid an extra bed, but the problem was that the hornets were too unstable.
It might not be able to do anything to Hagrid during the day, but Kyle couldn't guarantee whether the dog would wake up in the middle of the night and launch a sneak attack.
“Please, Kyle.” Hagrid said, but his eyes were still fixed on the fire dragon in the distance.
A strong man over three meters tall, with fists bigger than the little wizard's head, actually had a bit of a cry in his voice.
Who can bear this?
Kyle rubbed his arms.
“It's up to you.” After saying that, Kyle turned around and left.
He needs to go to the castle.
Raising a fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest is no small matter. Even if he has proof, he must tell Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
Only if they agree, the rest of the work can continue.
If he doesn't agree, Kyle will have no choice but to maintain the status quo and use the Forbidden Forest as a fire dragon playground.
When Kyle found Professor McGonagall, she was about to go to Dumbledore to discuss something. After hearing that Kyle had made a five-headed dragon in the school, the parchment she was holding fell to the ground.
"What did you say?!"
"Raising a fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest?" Professor McGonagall completely forgot about the original purpose and said decisively: "No, absolutely not. The Forbidden Forest is too close to the castle and the students will be in danger."
"Don't get excited, Minerva, I think you can give it a try." Dumbledore stroked his beard.
“Since Kyle can obtain a legal dragon-raising certificate, it means that he has the ability to restrain those fire dragons and they are not that dangerous.”
“That won't work, what if Kyle didn't pay attention and let the fire dragon escape.”
"I'm still here." Dumbledore said, "And fire dragons are not common. Maybe Hogwarts can become the only school that legally has fire dragons, which can greatly enhance the school's status in the wizarding world."
"I would rather not have this status." Professor McGonagall said solemnly: "And Albus, I am the Headmaster now!"
“Oh, okay, then you have the final say.” Dumbledore immediately fell silent and calmly picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip.
Dumbledore's decision to admit defeat so simply made Professor McGonagall feel a bit confused. Her tough attitude suddenly wavered.
Because in her impression, Dumbledore was not a person who liked to fool around. On the contrary, every decision he made had deep meaning.
Even if you don't see it at the time, it will become apparent later.
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, and then at the well-behaved Kyle. He couldn't help but turn his eyes to the direction of the Forbidden Forest outside the window, and remained silent for a long time without speaking.
After a long time, she suddenly sighed and looked at a portrait on the wall.
“Principal Dippet, please go and call the three deans and Madam Pomfrey from the campus hospital. We need to hold a meeting.”
"Don't bother, Minerva." Armando Dippet leaned against the frame. "There are many dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest. It's just a few more Charmanders, so it doesn't matter."
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly and raised her head to glance at him.
"Okay, I understand." Dippet stood up straight immediately, "I'll go right away."
Soon, the Headmasters and Madam Pomfrey arrived.
They had already learned the general situation from Dippet in advance, and they started noisy as soon as they entered the door.
And what's interesting is that after the deans came, the vote was tied again.
Professor Flitwick and Snape agreed that the fire dragon should settle in the Forbidden Forest, but Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey, the representative of the school hospital, firmly opposed it.
The reason is also very simple. Professor Sprout is worried that the violent fire dragon will destroy the greenhouse not far away. Madam Pomfrey is opposed to all creatures that may cause danger, including but not limited to three-headed dogs, basilisks, and dementors. Monsters, fire dragons, Voldemort...
3:3
The scene was deadlocked again.
What Kyle didn't expect was that Snape actually voted in favor.
Of course, he also has his own purpose.
"I need some fire dragon materials for research, and you must provide them to me unconditionally." He narrowed his eyes, his tone full of threats, and wanted to use this to take advantage of Kyle. To this, Kyle's response was...impossible, don't even think about it, even the dragon dung is yours.
So Snape decisively ran away.
But the scene is still 3:3.
Because when he heard about dragon dung, Professor Sprout also ran out of votes.
She suddenly realized that after the school had a fire dragon, she would have endless amounts of pure natural dragon manure, and the money saved could be used to buy more plants.
Kyle also promised to donate 20 pots of mandrake, 100 pots of biting cabbage, and a complete king vine to the school greenhouse after the event was completed.
Professor Sprout did not hesitate at all when he ran the vote.
Snape's teeth chattered.
There was another long debate that lasted until late at night. Dumbledore suggested that everyone eat some late-night snacks and drink some pumpkin juice to soothe their throats, and continue the discussion after the intermission. Everyone agreed.
Only Madam Pomfrey stood up and left the Headmaster's office.
Her attitude was very clear and could not be changed. There was no need to continue the discussion, and Professor McGonagall did not stop her.
She was lowering her head because of what Professor Flitwick had just said, not knowing what she was thinking.
Because Professor Flitwick just said that the fire dragon in the school is also a boost, and it may have unexpected effects in case the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts.
It was these words that made Professor McGonagall's heart shaken even more.
She was only worried about the safety of her students, but compared to Death Eaters, fire dragons seemed to be nothing.
But this reason alone was not enough for her to agree to the proposal of raising dragons in the Forbidden Forest, so she was still hesitant.
The house elf brought a hot midnight snack and, with Dumbledore's approval, a few glasses of wine.
Not much, one cup per person, but it won't make you drunk.
Professor Flitwick came next to Kyle with a glass of mead.
“Kyle, have you really obtained the legal certificate for raising a dragon?”
“Of course it's true.” Kyle nodded, “otherwise I wouldn't dare put the dragon in the Forbidden Forest.”
Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up.
Although he is not as fanatical about fire dragons as Hagrid, he is a duel enthusiast.
Duel wizards like to challenge powerful enemies, which naturally includes powerful magical animals, and fire dragons happen to be the top 5X creatures.
Holding a wand in the blazing fire and watching a huge fire dragon fall from the sky and smash it in front of oneself is a scene that every dueling wizard has fantasized about.
But it's just a fantasy.
Since fire dragons are rare and the reserve is unlikely to agree to allow them to duel with fire dragons, the title "The Wizard Who Defeats Dragons" has never appeared again since a hundred years ago.
Maybe this time is an opportunity.
Professor Flitwick rubbed his hands and glanced at the Forbidden Forest outside the window with some eagerness.
This is why he voted yes.
As for the safety of students... He didn't think as much as Professor McGonagall. With Dumbledore here, let alone the five-headed dragon, he wouldn't have the slightest worry even if the fire dragon sanctuary was moved next door.
And these deans are not fools... This is the confidence of Hogwarts and the reason why the Forbidden Forest is allowed to exist.
There are so many dangerous animals there, even the most evil Acromantula, which regards wizards as part of its diet, has never thought of provoking Hogwarts.
It's just a few fire dragons. Although it's troublesome, it's really not a big deal.
At the same time, the curfew time has come in the castle.
Since Fred and George graduated, Hogwarts has become much quieter under curfew.
In the corridor on the eighth floor, the Fat Madam has returned to work after a period of psychological counseling.
The dark and quiet corridor made her want to take a nap. She did not notice that the portrait was pushed away from the inside, and two pairs of sneaky shoes appeared in front of her out of thin air.
“Harry, move over there, I'm out of breath.”
“But I've reached the very edge…”
“Everyone, be quiet and be careful not to be discovered by Filch.” Another voice came from the side.
"You said it lightly, Hermione, come and squeeze it, it's too uncomfortable."
“Who told you not to use the invisibility spell?”
"This spell is too difficult. I dare say it is not something that students can master."
“Then how did I learn it.”
“You, you are different...you are not a normal person.”
Obviously, the three people who appeared in the corridor at this time were Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
They knocked on the door for a long time during the day but no one opened the door. Instead of retreating, they decided to explore the cabin again at night.
"What if Kyle is a Death Eater in disguise? Hagrid will be in danger."
They comfort themselves in this way and find a reason for their actions.
It's just that they overlooked one thing. In first grade, the invisibility cloak could perfectly cover three people, but now that they have grown up, it is difficult to cover two people.
This is embarrassing.
Harry and Ron looked at their exposed shoes and wanted to cover them up.
But the invisibility cloak is only so big, unless they can squat and walk, the two tried it but quickly gave up.
impossible, completely impossible.
If Hermione were added to the mix, they would not only be showing off their shoes, but also their calves.
There was no other way. The three of them could only keep their voices as low as possible and carefully walk down the stairs.
I don't know if they were lucky or not. Even though they had two pairs of shoes exposed, they didn't meet Filch or the cat named Mrs. Norris along the way.
The group of people slipped out of the castle smoothly and rushed to the door of Kyle's wooden house under the moonlight.
“Do you want to knock on the door?”
“Are you kidding me?”
"But if we break in like this, we will definitely be discovered by Kyle. He is not as easy to fool as Hagrid."
"It's okay. I heard from Colin that he saw Kyle and went to the principal's office." Harry's voice came, "I just looked and the lights there were always on. Maybe he hasn't come back yet."
“Then what are you waiting for?”
Ron stepped forward and pushed the door tentatively.
The door is open.
This made Hermione, who was holding her wand and preparing to use the unlocking spell, a little embarrassed.
Why was the door opened? It was clearly locked tightly during the day.
But she didn't think much about it. She nervously glanced inside and then walked in.
“Very good, no one is here.”
"Hermione, isn't it a little bad for us to do this?" Harry followed at the end and said cautiously.
But Hermione didn't answer him.
Her mind was now filled with images of wandering around in the Forbidden Forest at noon yesterday, and she had no intention of answering Harry's question.
This matter tortured her all afternoon. Hermione borrowed at least twenty books from the library, but she couldn't find any magic that could turn everything in front of her into a mirage.
She felt like she couldn't even sleep if she didn't figure it out.
But she came several times yesterday, at noon, afternoon, evening... No matter when she knocked on the door, she got no response.
Even Hagrid is missing.
Whether it was out of worry or for some other purpose, I came to visit the cabin at night.
The room was clean and the bed was empty.
Hermione immediately looked at the opposite wall.
Sure enough, the door is still there, and it seems that it can only be seen here.
Hermione's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she held the doorknob with excitement and moved it slightly.
“Roar!”
The moment the door was opened, a group of hot flames came towards them, getting bigger and bigger in their pupils...
