Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 25: Celebration and unexpected hatching



More than a month has passed since Dudley's first year at Hogwarts. Fortunately, the incident that Dudley was worried about about Quirrell snatching the Sorcerer's Stone early has not happened yet. It seems that Quirrell has not been able to break through Snape yet. monitoring.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, Malfoy had been ignoring Dudley, perhaps because of Snape's warning, and Dudley was finally able to sleep peacefully in the dormitory.

But in contrast, the relationship between Malfoy and Harry was becoming increasingly tense day by day, so much so that they seemed eager to fight again as soon as they met.

The final conflict between the two broke out during the first flying lesson between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Malfoy took away the memory ball sent to him by Neville's grandmother, and Harry and Malfoy had a gorgeous fight. An aerial chase ended with Harry snatching the memory ball back, but being taken away by Professor McGonagall.

"It's over. Harry might be expelled from school now." Hermione was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "Dudley, why are you so calm? He is your cousin."

Dudley was not worried at all. Instead, he was already thinking about how to celebrate Harry joining the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

The plot developed just as Dudley expected. Not only was Harry not punished, but he was admitted as a seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

After admiring Malfoy's face twisted with surprise and anger, Dudley suggested going to Hagrid's hut to celebrate on Friday afternoon when there was no class, and everyone agreed.

"Let me tell you in advance, I still strongly disagree with your violation of the rules." Hermione was still a little angry about Harry's behavior of using the broomstick without permission, "But one yard for another, become Hogwarts Being the youngest Seeker in history is something to celebrate."

Dudley suddenly realized that due to his intervention, Hermione's relationship with the other two seemed to have become closer earlier. In the original work, when this incident happened, Hermione had a serious quarrel with Harry and Ron until They reconciled after the Halloween troll incident.

But that's not such a bad thing, Dudley thought.You can't just create a conflict and make them quarrel in order to restore the plot, so that Hermione can sit in the bathroom and cry all day.

Dudley also had selfish motives in choosing Hagrid's hut as the place to celebrate. Ever since he found out that Hagrid had a dragon egg in his hand, he often found reasons to go to Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid thought he was just curious about the hatching of dragon eggs and always welcomed him.But in fact Dudley was just curious about whether he could break the dragon egg and absorb the dragon soul inside. If Hagrid knew what Dudley was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would bury him in the pumpkin patch next to him as fertilizer.

When there was no class on Friday afternoon, Dudley was about to go to Hagrid's hut as scheduled, but as soon as he left the Slytherin common room, he bumped into a girl with short black hair, whom Dudley had previously had a conflict with. Pansy parkinson.

"Hey, the 'honorary Gryffindor' is going to find your buck-toothed Gryffindor girlfriend again?" Pansy's tone was as sharp and mean as ever, "But you don't have to run away in such a hurry. , your little girlfriend seems to have two boyfriends, and you are not missing one."

Ever since Draco Malfoy gradually forgave Pansy for the mistakes he had made before, Pansy seemed to be less afraid of Dudley. Although he had not directly touched Dudley again, he would still have a bad mouth when they met him.

"You can find your little boyfriend Draco, ah, I almost forgot." Dudley was also unforgiving, "He doesn't seem to let you call him Draco anymore. It's really pitiful."

After Dudley finished speaking, he ran away without looking back, leaving only Pansy Parkinson, whose face was twisted with anger.

Although he was delayed a little by Pansy, Dudley met the Harry trio on time next to Hagrid's hut, and Hagrid seemed to be watering the huge pumpkin patch next to the hut.

"This pumpkin looks good." Hagrid happily welcomed the four people into the hut. "Halloween is coming soon. Professor Dumbledore will definitely be very satisfied with these pumpkins I cultivated."

On Halloween, Dudley thought of this part of the plot in the original work. Now that Hermione, Harry, and Ron had not quarreled, there was no need to go to the bathroom to confront the troll, and Quirrell should have been beaten by Snape as always. If you stop it, you basically don’t have to worry about anything going wrong.

"First of all, let us congratulate Harry Potter, the youngest Seeker in the history of Hogwarts!" Dudley, the four of them and Hagrid cheered as they raised cups larger than their palms.

"I have known for a long time that Harry has a talent for Quidditch..." Hagrid wiped his eyes sadly and twitched his beard, "Your father, James Potter, is such an excellent Quidditch player." He is one of the most talented Quidditch players I have ever seen."

Harry curiously asked Hagrid about his father's time at school, while Dudley looked around for the dragon egg, and finally found it in the center of the fire, under the kettle.

"Hagrid, why did you put the dragon eggs in the fire to bake? Are you finally planning to boil the dragon eggs and eat them?" Dudley took the kettle and tried to put his hand on it to absorb the dragon soul, but it had no effect.

"What nonsense are you talking about, brat." Hagrid glared at Dudley fiercely. "Dragon eggs will not be cooked by fire. Putting the egg in the fire can simulate its mother blowing on it. Hermione is helping me. "Raising Dragons for Fun and Profit," which I found in the library, teaches how to hatch eggs."

Everyone looked at Hermione in surprise. After all, Hermione had always been opposed to Hagrid raising dragons in violation of regulations.

Hermione shook her head in panic and said, "I just want to tell Hagrid how difficult and troublesome it is to hatch a dragon egg, so that he can quit. I don't support Hagrid's idea of ​​raising a dragon."

But in fact, you provided Hagrid with a way to hatch dragon eggs. Dudley just wanted to tease Hermione, but suddenly, he felt something was wrong with the warm dragon eggs in his hands.

From the inside of the dragon egg, there was some kind of powerful suction force, like a water pump, frantically absorbing his physical strength through his hand that was in contact with the dragon egg.

After a while, Dudley's face turned pale, and he didn't even have the strength to move his hands or call out.

"Wait a minute, Dudley doesn't look right!" Harry noticed Dudley's abnormality first. Everyone rushed up and pulled Dudley away from the dragon egg. After breaking away from the dragon egg, Dudley felt that his strength had finally recovered. At one point, I took a few breaths before coming back to my senses.

"What's going on? Do dragon eggs have the strange ability to weaken those who come into contact with them?" Hermione looked at Ron and Hagrid in confusion, both of whom shook their heads in confusion.

"Wait a minute, look at the dragon egg, it's getting a little weird!" Harry pointed at the dragon egg and shouted in surprise.

I saw the dragon egg in the fire begin to shake regularly, and then with a crisp "click" sound, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the dragon egg!
