The changes in Hagrid were completely within Albert's expectations.
However, it can only be said that wizards from Gryffindor are very stubborn. Even though they know that raising a dragon is illegal, Hagrid still wants to raise a dragon. Doesn't Hagrid know what the consequences of raising a dragon will be
Perhaps, Hagrid had never really thought about this question until now.
After all, when a person's mind is full of something, it is difficult for him to listen to what others say.
This was confirmed when Albert found time to meet Hagrid.
Hagrid's mind was now filled with thoughts on how he could get the dragon egg as predicted.
If Albert told Hagrid that the dragon eggs were just nonsense, would Hagrid go mad and never pay attention to him again
Maybe, the iron-headed kid deserves to have his head broken and bloody before he can wake up!
Looking at Hagrid who was welcoming him warmly, he secretly glanced at the new task that appeared on the task panel: Hagrid's Troubles.
Your friend Hagrid seems to have encountered something that is troubling him. As his friend, you may be able to provide him with some help. Why don't you listen carefully to what is troubling him
Reward: 200 experience points, Hagrid's favorability +10.
Albert took a bite of cake, looked up at Hagrid's expectant gaze, cleared his throat and asked, "Is it because of the dragon egg?"
"Uh-huh!" Hagrid nodded like a child.
"Do you know that raising dragons is illegal?" Albert asked again.
Hagrid suddenly fell silent, looking very conflicted, and obviously had no intention of answering Albert's question.
Is it illegal to keep a dragon
Of course, but Hagrid didn't want to give up this opportunity.
He knew that raising a dragon was not illegal as long as it was not discovered by other people.
But Hagrid couldn't say such things.
Albert obviously didn't intend to go into the details, but continued to ask: "If you get the dragon egg and hatch it, then what are you going to do with the dragon?"
Hagrid was silent again. He had not thought about this matter at all. His mind was now full of how to get the dragon eggs.
"Then tell me, what should I do?" Hagrid looked at Albert awkwardly and asked in a low voice.
"Raise it for a few months, and during the summer vacation, ask Headmaster Dumbledore to help you send the dragon away, just like you did with Fluffy. It's the same whether you give away one or two." Albert took a big bite of the cake made by Hagrid and offered his opinion.
This is actually the best option, as it not only allows Hagrid to fulfill his wish of raising a dragon, but also solves the problem of raising a dragon.
Looking at Hagrid who was silent again, Albert reminded him: "Don't forget, raising a dragon is illegal."
"I don't want to cause any trouble for Headmaster Dumbledore!" Hagrid said gloomily. "The Headmaster is busy enough now. I shouldn't cause any trouble for him."
"Then you shouldn't keep a dragon." Albert thought Hagrid's idea was funny: "Since you don't want to cause trouble for the headmaster, then just give up!"
"You know what? Raising a dragon is my biggest wish in my life." Hagrid waved his arms and muttered to Albert with spit flying.
"You will never be able to hide the fact that you raise a dragon at Hogwarts from others," Albert threatened. "The Ministry of Magic will come to your door sooner or later. If you are lucky, they will return the dragon to the wild and fine you a large sum of Galleons. If you are unlucky, they will simply have the dragon chopped off, and not only will you lose your position as gamekeeper at Hogwarts, you will also be imprisoned in Azkaban, and the headmaster will also be blamed for this."
Hagrid's body trembled slightly, obviously Albert had hit his soft spot.
"You just prefer ferocious things." Albert looked at Hagrid's reaction and couldn't help but sighed and said, "I also understand why. I need to remind you again that just because something doesn't threaten you doesn't mean it's harmless to the wizards in the school. If you don't realize this, you'll get yourself into a lot of trouble sooner or later."
"How do I get dragon eggs!" Hagrid ignored Albert's words and asked the question he cared about most.
"I don't know either. Prophecy doesn't make people omniscient. I just predicted the result." Albert drank a sip of amber tea to moisten his throat, glanced at the lost Hagrid and said, "However, I know you probably can't afford to buy a dragon egg, so the ways to get a dragon egg are nothing more than those few ways."
"What kinds?"
"I picked it up, it was given to me by someone, I bought it at a low price from a vendor, or I won it from gambling." Albert said the deceptive words he had thought of.
Hagrid repeated, his face no longer as confused as before. Although he felt that what Albert said made sense, was it really that easy to get a dragon egg
"Go to the Hog's Head Inn around Easter," Albert reminded. "I think the Hog's Head Inn will be quite lively then. If you're lucky enough, you might be able to get a dragon egg."
"I see. I know. I know."
Seeing Hagrid's excitement, Albert poured cold water on him again and said, "I can't guarantee that you can get what you want. After all, this is just a reverse speculation based on the prophecy, and it's hard to say what the result will be."
"I understand, I understand!" Hagrid's face was almost blooming with smiles.
fail
How could I fail
Hagrid, who had always wanted to raise a dragon, would not be willing to believe that he would fail.
Will Albert fail
Of course not.
At this moment, Hagrid had blindly believed Albert, because that was the answer Hagrid wanted.
After eating the cake and drinking the tea, Albert got up and left.
Hermione appeared out of nowhere after Albert left, looking anxious.
"Is it really okay for you to say that?" Hermione was worried that if Albert's prediction failed, Hagrid would be very disappointed.
At this moment, Hermione actually hoped that Albert's prediction would come true.
However, if the prophecy came true, what would they do with the dragon
Raising a dragon is illegal. If other people knew that Hagrid raised a dragon, he would definitely be arrested by the Ministry of Magic and fined a large sum of money.
"I never lie. This is just a prediction, but the future will change." Albert said nonsense seriously.
"You must be lying."
"Believe me, if Hagrid really gets the dragon eggs and raises a dragon, you, Potter and Weasley will definitely be in trouble." Albert looked into Hermione's eyes and said quietly.
"I can even tell you that even if Hagrid raises a giant in the Forbidden Forest in the future, I won't be surprised. He will get himself into a lot of trouble sooner or later, but he himself is completely unaware of it. Perhaps Hagrid should be allowed to have his head broken and bloodied, so that he can wake up with an unforgettable lesson!"
