The next day, Penello did what he said last night and sent out the list of students staying in school during the Easter vacation. Since the Easter holiday is not long, only a small number of students in the school chose to go home. It was the first time for Wright to stay in school with Chang Chu during this kind of holiday other than weekends.

The Easter holiday is coming as scheduled, but considering that after waiting for the Easter holiday, students will soon have their final exams, so professors of various courses have assigned a lot of homework, which makes Wright's resurrection Rest time during the holidays is much shorter than during the Christmas holidays.

On the third day of the vacation, after Wright finally finished all his homework overnight, he finally got the opportunity to go out to the castle to rest.

With the arrival of April, the successive spring rains have stopped, and the weather is no longer gloomy. The sky outside the castle is bright and clear, as blue as a flawless gem. The snow on the ground has long melted into the soil, the breeze brings a fresh smell of grass, and the air is filled with a feeling that summer is coming.

Wright walked out of the castle and walked straight towards Hagrid's hut. He originally wanted to find Professor Kettleburn, but Professor Kettleburn, like Hagrid, did not live in the castle. In addition, Wright did not know the specific location of Professor Kettleburn. .

Because of his extreme love for magical creatures, Professor Kettleburn, like Hagrid, chose to live next to the Forbidden Forest. However, his house is still quite far away from Hagrid's cabin. At least Wright has never seen Professor Kettleburn's house when passing Hagrid's cabin.

As for the reason why Wright wanted to find Professor Kettleburn, it was naturally because of a magical creature named Luwei. Lu Wei has been getting bigger and bigger recently, as if he was cast under a continuous expansion spell. When school first started last year, Lu Wei could only half squat and half lie down in the original room, but now even if Lu Wei is crawling on the ground, the original room can no longer accommodate him.

At first, Wright wanted to find the source of the trouble, Dumbledore, to solve the problem, but Dumbledore said that maybe Professor Kettleburn had a special way to solve it, so he recommended Wright to find Kettleburn. Professor.

But when Wright arrived at Hagrid's hut, he found that the windows of Hagrid's hut were closed, the curtains inside were tightly drawn, and even the door was closed tightly.

"Hagrid? Are you in the house?" Wright stepped forward and knocked on the door of the cabin.

A clang came from the wooden house, and after a while, Hagrid's voice came out: "Wright?"

"It's me." Wright patted the door, "What are you doing in there? Winter has passed, it's spring now, and summer is coming soon. What are you doing in your room now?"

"Nothing," Hagrid opened the wooden door from the inside. After Wright entered the room, he immediately closed the door.

He didn't feel it when he was at the door. After Hagrid closed the door, Wright realized that the heat in this small room was almost suffocating. Even though it was such a warm sunny day, there was still a roaring fire burning in the fireplace in the cabin.

Hagrid walked to the stove, picked up the teapot, and came over to make a cup of hot tea for Wright.

"Hagrid, it's almost summer now. What are you doing? Can we open the window now?" Wright tugged on his collar. Not long after he came in, he could already feel himself sweating. .

"Sorry, Wright, at least not now." Hagrid replied with a blush on his face, not from embarrassment, but from heat.

While speaking, Hagrid glanced towards the fireplace again, and Wright followed suit.

"An egg?" Wright turned his head and looked at Hagrid, who became obviously embarrassed after hearing his words.

"Well, that's..." Hagrid twirled his beard. His appearance at this time had completely changed into the way he looked when Wright first met him, with a thick beard and long hair that almost reached his back.

"I can tell what kind of creature's egg it is," Wright comforted Hagrid. "It's just a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon egg. Hagrid, don't be like this."

"Yes," Hagrid said with obvious relief, "You know, Wright, you know how much I like dragons."

"I know." Wright patted Hagrid's arm.

"Ever since Rupert died," Hagrid's voice suddenly choked, "I have been thinking about raising another dragon. This dragon egg was also won by me while drinking with a stranger the night before. ”

"Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but Hagrid, I must mention one thing," Wright glanced at the dragon eggs in the fireplace, "Norwegian Ridgebacks are completely different from Charmanders. They grow very fast. You can refer to it. Lu Wei now.”

"Your cabin will soon outgrow it, and the most important thing is that the Norwegian Ridgeback will spray dragon breath from time to time, and this is just an ordinary cabin." Wright said.

"I know, I know." Hagrid nodded absently.

"By the way, Wright, why did you come to see me?" After a while, Hagrid asked again.

"I'm here to ask where Professor Kettleburn's address is," Wright said.

"Professor Kettleburn? Why are you looking for him, Wright?" A look of extreme envy appeared on Hagrid's face, "The professor of Care of Magical Creatures is really respectable."

"Hagrid, you know, about Fluffy."

"Luwei? What's wrong with it?" As soon as Wright mentioned Luwei, Hagrid immediately got out of his envious mood for the professorship of Care of Magical Creatures. Although Lu Wei has been transferred to Wright by him, at the beginning, Lu Wei was still raised little by little by Hagrid.

"Lu Wei's size has grown again recently, and the room on the fourth floor can hardly accommodate him." Wright said, "Unlike during the summer vacation, it is now school time, and I want to avoid all the students. It’s an impossible task for us to change Lu Wei’s room.”

"What did Principal Dumbledore say?" Hagrid asked.

"Dumbledore said that the house was completely abandoned and could not use the space expansion spell. If you want to repair the room, you must invite Lu Wei out." Wright said, "So he recommended me to find Kettleburn. Professor, said maybe he has a good solution."

"Yes, Professor Kettleburn has a very deep understanding of magical creatures. Perhaps only Mr. Newt Scamander can match him." Hagrid said, "Then I will take you to Kettleburn now. Professor."

After finishing speaking, Hagrid reluctantly glanced towards the fireplace. It was obvious that he was worried about laying this dragon egg now.

"Okay, Hagrid." Wright waved his hand and said, "Actually, you don't have to take me there in person. You just need to tell me where Professor Kettleburn's address is."

"Okay." Hagrid replied immediately, and then he told Wright the address.

"By the way Wright, I forgot to mention it," Hagrid said, patting his head as if remembering something before Wright left, "It's the Easter holiday recently, and I don't know if Professor Kettleburn is here. It's best for you to go to his house quickly, lest he goes into the forbidden forest again and can't find anyone."

"Okay, I'm leaving then." Wright nodded and quickly walked out of the stuffy wooden house.
