The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Chapter 24 How wonderful it is to raise a dragon

Hatching any eggs requires enough patience and meticulousness.

Erwin simply lived next to the dragon egg, and he ordered a seamless stretch travel tent from the magic equipment store in Diagon Alley. Sabi was able to complete the delivery on his own. This was the benefit of the giant owl.

It is completely worthy of its much higher value than other varieties.

The price of a travel tent is almost twice as much as that of a suitcase, but Erwin spends money without batting an eye. Since Uncle Felwood helps raise funds, the consumption level can naturally be raised a little higher.

In terms of courses, Erwin directly asked for leave. He specifically asked Professor Flitwick for a consent form allowing him to conduct "independent curse research" and then showed it to other professors.

Potions class has been discontinued for a long time, and the professors of other courses are far more talkative than Snape. Since Erwin has a legitimate reason and has actually fully mastered the first-year courses, there is no need to restrict him to the classroom.

superior.

In this case, Erwin only needs to explain the results of his "independent curse research" to Flitwick in a few weeks. This shouldn't be too easy, just the Eye of the Wind Curse and the Impact Curse derived from the Hurricane Curse.

Taking out one is enough to cope with it, and it may even surprise Professor Flitwick.

Erwin was easily exempted from the school system for nearly a month.

The Norwegian Spinyback dragon egg was close to hatching. Hagrid brought barrels of strong alcohol as feed for the young dragon after it hatched. Alcohol can be digested by the dragon and allows the baby dragon's breathing ability to develop normally.

Erwin was trying every means to strengthen the camp. He bought a few more inscription rods and made some simple warning traps around the camp.

Hagrid had a job to do, not only raising many magical animals, but also taking care of some chores at Hogwarts. However, Erwin reassured him that this boy could accurately maintain the optimal incubation temperature of dragon eggs, and

He stays close to everything and has a strong sense of responsibility.

Erwin was not idle when he was taking care of the dragon eggs. Being in such a camp deep in the Forbidden Forest meant that nothing he did would be affected. He continued to study and research on magic spells and magic patterns.

.

The "Fire Dragon Raising Guide" records several spells that can be used to calm the emotions of young dragons. Most of them are very irritable and irritable. Erwin practiced some, subconsciously wanted to replenish his magic power, and took out the power packed in test tubes.

The fountain of energy is about to be mixed into a pot of hot tea.

He suddenly stopped.

He looked at the dragon egg in the flames, walked closer, looked at it carefully, hesitated, then carefully raised the test tube, and poured down a drop of the fountain of power.

Dragon blood extract is very flammable. When this drop of viscous liquid fell on the hot dragon egg, Erwin thought it would burn immediately.

But no, the fountain of power seeped into it naturally, as if the eggshell was just a leak.

Erwin thought it was interesting, so he added another drop, and it still seeped in silently.

Another drop, another drop...

The test tubes have been emptied, but the dragon eggs look the same as before. Erwin is not sure if there are any changes happening inside. The magic power provided by the Fountain of Power in one test tube is huge, so let’s wait and compare for now.

good.

When Hagrid came in the evening, he put on thick asbestos gloves and carefully lifted up the dragon egg, "Running Gorgon, look at how energetic this little guy is! I think he will hatch soon."

He said with a smile, full of joy.

"Hmm, congratulations on becoming a mother." Erwin said.

There seemed to be no problem? The next day, he once again prepared a test tube of the fountain of power and dripped it on the dragon egg bit by bit.

Everything is absorbed by it.

On the third day, when Erwin emptied a test tube again, there was a rustling sound in the dragon egg, and then a crack suddenly opened.

About to hatch?

First the little head with the sharp mouth stretched out, then the front paws, and finally the whole body. It was easy for it to break open the eggshell. It also had no desire to eat the eggshell. This may be because

Overnutrition is, after all, the input of the three-tube power fountain.

This Norwegian Spinosaurus cub didn't look like a newborn at all. After the mucus on its body was dried by the flames, it became extremely lively, spreading coals everywhere, and even breathed threateningly at Erwin.

Only animals with low IQ would regard the first creature they see when they are born as their mother, and the Norwegian Spinosaurus is obviously not one of them.

Erwin tried to tease it, and then his hair almost burned on fire. The young dragon was actually able to breathe out a fire breath nearly one meter long.

Quite arrogant?

Erwin snorted and activated the kinetic energy. The young dragon was picked up by the invisible force. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not get rid of it, and then it was thrown directly into the cage prepared in advance.

After the hatchling hatches, there is no need to care too much about the environment, as the hatchling is very solid.

When Erwin informed Hagrid, he was feeding the chickens. When he heard this, he stepped over the chicken food bowl and said, "It's hatched now? Shouldn't it be a week away?"

Without waiting for Erwin to reply, he directly caught two hens that had no time to escape. "Hurry up and write a note and find an owl to bring to Harry and the others."

"Okay," Erwin shrugged.

When he returned to the hatching camp, he saw Hagrid feeding the Norwegian Spinyback dragon cubs with brandy mixed with chicken blood with a silly smile on his face.

"I named him Norbert. Look how beautiful he is."

Beautiful? Erwin looked at the named baby dragon, which was putting its head into the barrel and drinking. After drinking, it raised its head and sprayed a foot-long flame toward the sky.

The Norwegian Spinosaurus is a pterodactyl with its forelimbs and wings growing together. It is still a four-legged animal. The same is true for most types of dragons. Erwin looked through the "Dragon Illustrated Book" and only found this

A few dragons have six limbs, that is, they have front legs, hind legs, and an extra pair of wings.

Of course four-limbed creatures are more reasonable than six-limbed creatures, but according to the rules Erwin discovered after coming into contact with magic, the more unreasonable they are, the more powerful they must be.

The chicken blood was fed to Norbert, and the meat could not be wasted. Hagrid slightly boiled a chicken, tore it into small pieces and fed it to Norbert, and then found that it even chewed the bones and ate it.

"It's so energetic." Hagrid said happily.

In the afternoon, the trap Erwin set outside the camp was suddenly triggered. He walked out slowly and found a completely transparent, twisted cloth covered with a lot of ash. Because the cloth was transparent,

It looks like the ashes are suspended.

Erwin lifted the cloth and saw Harry, Ron and Hermione lying in a ball. They triggered the trip trap and were poured down by a bag of ashes.

Erwin looked at the piece of transparent cloth in his hand. It was not transparent when viewed from the back, and it couldn't be called cloth. The material was closer to silk, and it was as light as nothing.

Erwin knew about the invisibility cloak, this magical item, and the grade of this piece was definitely not low. This was the reason why Harry and the others dared to pass through the Forbidden Forest.

When they picked it up, none of the ashes stuck to the invisibility cloak, and all fell on the heads of the trio, causing them to cough and sneeze loudly.

"No wonder you guys have been so mysterious lately." Erwin pulled them up one by one.

"You definitely did it on purpose!" Hermione was very angry.

Who would use ashes to set a trap?

"How is that possible?" Erwin chuckled, "This is only set up to prevent certain invisible creatures from peeping. You are just unlucky and happened to bump into it."

"Do you think we are idiots?" Hermione was going crazy.

Ron was very angry. It was not a good experience to have his face covered in ashes. He was just about to question Erwin, but the other party directly threw the invisibility cloak over and wrapped him all over.

Erwin quickly used a detection spell, but as expected, there was no reaction. Without the use of "Apparition Dust" or other means, he had no way of detecting the person in the invisibility cloak.

It's outrageous. It's much easier to use than his Disguise Charm.

"Where did you buy this? I want to get one made too."

The Boy-Who-Lived has a much better temper and self-discipline than Ron. "I just received this invisibility cloak for Christmas, and it wasn't signed by the other party," Harry said.

At this time, Ron pulled off the invisibility cloak covering his head, and just as he was getting angry again, Erwin said first: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Norbert."

When he saw the dragon cub, Ron's anger had almost dissipated. It was his first time to be in such close contact with a fire dragon. The little boy's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

"Be careful!" Hagrid quickly stopped him, "Noble's saliva and the thorns on his back are poisonous."

Ron was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand.

After a week, Norbert was almost the same size as a medium-sized dog, and his food intake increased to two whole chickens a day, and he preferred live chickens.

"Are you really going to raise it?" Hermione asked. She was a little horrified when she saw Norbert chewing up the chicken head and eating it seriously.

"It should be no problem. Carnivores usually eat this much." Hagrid was cleaning the hard dragon dung. "It's a good thing to be able to eat it. I can afford it."

He suddenly stopped. As a senior animal breeder, he did feel that Noble's growth process was a bit too rapid, much faster than what was described in those dragon-raising books.

What does this mean? It means that Nobel is a very outstanding individual! Maybe he is an unknown rare species!

Hagrid became more energetic and looked at Norbert with eyes full of love.

I need to get a bigger cage for the little guy.

Hermione took a deep breath and realized that there was no way she could convince these men.

Hagrid went back to work, and she found Erwin, "What are you going to do with it after it grows to an adult size? Are you going to let it burn down the Forbidden Forest?"

"I don't know, let's talk about it then." Erwin shrugged, "If it doesn't work, just kill it. Dragon skin, dragon blood, dragon liver, dragon heart, and bones are quite valuable."
