Chapter 210 What to Do with Your Eggs
After entering March, the weather gradually became warmer. The ice on the Black Lake that lasted for a whole winter thawed last week.
Recently, the giant squid often sticks its head and tentacles out from the bottom of the lake and enjoys the warm sunbathing on the water.
This also attracted many students to watch.
Although many people who have read "Hogwarts, a History of Schools" know that there are giant squids in the Black Lake, because it rarely appears, other colleges rarely have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes, except for Slytherin, whose common room is at the bottom of the lake.
For a time, everyone was very curious, especially the freshmen who had just enrolled, and they ran there as soon as the get out of class was over.
The Black Lake inexplicably became the new check-in holy place of Hogwarts.
However, Kyle did not join in the fun. He had seen it once at the end of last year. To put it bluntly, that thing is no different from an ordinary squid, just a little bigger.
And it's easy to get hungry after watching it for a long time, and there's no point in going again without a grill.
He might as well read two more books with this time.
After several months of study, he has almost mastered the traceless extension spell.
Although he is not very proficient, and the space he can change each time is not as large as he imagined, he has finally taken the most difficult first step. He just needs to practice more.
Kyle plans to completely transform his box before the fifth grade... Not to say that it is the same as Newt's, but at least it must be able to hold half of the Forbidden Forest.
He has obtained a lot of things in the past two years. The plants in the flower garden alone can fill the current box. In addition, he has to divide the territory of the trolls and moon beasts... and new members who may join in the future at any time. If it is too small, it will not be enough.
Do it as soon as you say it...
After that, Kyle ran into the box almost every time he had time.
With his overtime efforts, he finally completed the first expansion of the box on the third day of the Easter holiday.
The space inside is nearly twice as large as it was at the beginning.
Kyle looked at his results and nodded with satisfaction. He now feels like he has changed from a single room to a villa.
And the previous problems were solved at once.
For example, the range of the trolls' activities has been expanded a lot.
And the new home of the moon beast can also be prepared... It takes a lot of space to build a cave suitable for them to live in. I couldn't find a place before, but now it's just right.
The only problem is that the surrounding area has become much more empty after the expansion, which seems a bit monotonous... But this is easy to solve.
The next day, Kyle went to the Forbidden Forest early in the morning.
He planned to take advantage of the holidays in the past few days to find an opportunity to move two mountain pear trees into the box.
Of course, it would definitely not work during the day, and it would be easy to be caught by Hagrid, so he went to scout the place this time... First determine the target and wait until night to do it.
A few minutes later, Kyle came to Hagrid's hut, but strangely, the door here was closed, and all the curtains were drawn tightly, and even the top small window was covered with a copy of the Daily Prophet.
Kyle went up and knocked on the door.
"Who is it!"
Hagrid's voice came from inside, sounding a little nervous.
Then the door was opened a little.
"Huh... It's Kyle, how did you find time to come here?"
"I need your help with something." Kyle said, "Can I come in?"
"Of course..." Hagrid stepped aside to let Kyle in, then quickly turned around and closed the door.
The cabin was like a sauna, suffocatingly hot. Even on such a warm and sunny day, there was still a blazing fire in the fireplace.
In addition to Hagrid, there were three other people in the room.
Harry, Ron, Hermione.
"Hello." Kyle greeted.
"Hello, hello..."
"Long time no see... Kyle."
"Good morning."
The three stood in front of the fireplace and replied nervously.
They stood between Kyle and the fireplace like a wall, and their eyes were still wandering around while talking. With that look, anyone could see that there was something wrong with the fireplace.
Fortunately, Hagrid came over at this time.
He brought a copper kettle to make a cup of tea for Kyle and brought a ferret sandwich.
"You just said you wanted my help?"
"Yes." Kyle turned his eyes away from the fireplace and said, "I want to go to the Forbidden Forest to find some pear branches, is that okay?"
"Or is it to make that kind of amulet?" Hagrid asked.
Last year, the "Pass Every Exam Amulet" made by Kyle became popular throughout Hogwarts, and he had heard about it.
Kyle nodded.
"The final exam is in two months, and we have to prepare in advance."
"That's easy." Hagrid said with a smile, "I'll send you as many as you need tomorrow."
"No need to bother, I can pick them myself."
"But..." Hagrid frowned, obviously not wanting Kyle to go to the Forbidden Forest.
"Don't worry, Hagrid, the pear tree is on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there will definitely be no danger."
Kyle continued, "And I need to try to pick branches with the right shape, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with it later."
"That... okay!"
Hagrid thought about it and added, "But you can only find them on the edge of the Forbidden Forest."
"No problem." Kyle originally thought so, so he naturally wouldn't object.
Then Hagrid stood up and prepared to go out.
"Hagrid, do you want to come too?" Kyle asked.
"Of course, I can't let you go to the Forbidden Forest alone." Hagrid said, "Even if it's just the edge."
"What about the dragon egg?" Kyle asked, "Are you safe to leave it to Potter and the others?"
"It doesn't matter, dragon eggs are not that fragile, just be careful not to let the fireplace..."
"etc……"
Before Hagrid finished speaking, Hermione's surprised voice came from beside him.
"Kyle, how do you know there are dragon eggs here? You can't see them there."
After hearing her words, Hagrid was also stunned...Yes, how did Kyle know that he had the dragon egg.
"Don't you think that blocking the fireplace will be fine?"
Kyle smiled and said: "I suggest you read the latest version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". It is clearly written in the chapter about fire dragons that dragon eggs will emit a special sulfur smell when in flames. , it’s just not very obvious, and it can be easily ignored among the flames.”
"If you don't believe it, you can look back at Yaya. I think he will faint soon."
Kyle pointed to the side. The black hound owned by Hagrid was lying in the corner with his head hunched. He looked weak, completely different from the way he used to pounce on people before.
"Oh, Yaya, what's wrong with you!"
Hagrid let out a strange cry, ran over quickly, picked up Fang and rushed out of the house.
