“…”
"Who is there?"
‘…’
(ー`′ー)
'I!'
o(′^)o
"Ah! Finally found it!!"
Next to the beating willow next to the Forbidden Forest, in this place where no one dared to come here easily to "find a fight" and risked his life to try to "find a death" with his life, Hermione Granger finally found their professor Anne in the magic open class as he wished.
“!!”
"Very good!"
Hermione knew that a little girl often hid here after catching the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest forbidden Forest for a barbecue party or potion cooking... So, after she couldn't find the other person in Hogwarts Castle and had no results in asking for it, she first walked around the shore of the lake, and after bypassing Professor Pomona Sprout's herb cultivation greenhouse, she finally found the small figure in this place.
Hermione was already thinking about it. If she couldn't find it here, she would probably have to go into the forbidden forest to find it...
However, she didn't dare to run to the dangerous Forbidden Forest alone, because she was not so confident that she thought her ability could deal with all the unknown dangers lurking in the deep forest! Moreover, the Forbidden Forest administrator Hagrid would definitely not let her in. She didn't want to break there and cause Gryffindor to be deducted points!
"Annie, I've just looked for you in the castle for a long time, but I didn't expect you to hide here..."
Hermione came over directly because she knew that with the other party, the terrifying willow that would definitely not use the kind of terrifying branches that could break the car window or rocks in one blow to greet her.
"I haven't been hiding!!".
(??v?v??).
Seeing the arrival of Miss Hermione, whom she knew, little Annie did not make any more statements. She just continued to stare at her crucible that was roasted on the fire after answering randomly twice.
“??”
Sniff...
At this time, Hermione, who was approaching the other party step by step, was stunned when she was about to ask for advice from the other party... Then, her little head unconsciously raised slightly, and her nose kept shaking, and she tried hard to smell a strange smell floating in the air.
"What's this? It smells so weird..."
"But it really smells so good!"
Now Hermione suddenly changed her mind. She felt that maybe she could 'a picnic' with the other party first and enjoy it, and then after she had enough food and drink, she would ask the questions she just wanted to ask?
“??”
"Annie, are you... cooking that ostrich egg?!"
Looking carefully at the crucible in the other party, the boiling spring water inside, the cinnamon, lily petals, fig shells, ginger roots, and the messy potions that he could not recognize, plus the huge and conspicuous egg in the middle of the crucible, Hermione couldn't help asking with some expectation and curiosity.
Because, as far as she knows, in this world, except for some magical animals, only African ostrich are left.
"Ostrich egg?"
Σ(⊙⊙`)?
When Annie heard that Miss Hermione said it was an ostrich, she couldn't help but be stunned.
However, she had no intention of leaving the cauldron or talking to the other party. She just glanced at the other party and continued to turn her head, opened her green eyes wide, staring at the situation in the cauldron with anticipation, and always paying attention to the size of the magic flame at the bottom of the cauldron and the boiling level of the soup in the cauldron.
"It's not an ostrich egg!"
?华?华?
As for what exactly it is, little Annie doesn't want to tell Hermione now because she decided to wait until she eats it in her stomach before deciding whether to say it or not?
"Are you learning to cook that kind of 'tea egg'?"
Hermione had some small expectations...
"It's not an ostrich egg, so what is it?"
So she came to each other and squatted beside the boiling crucible burned by the flames, watching the rolling soup and the egg trembling slightly in the soup that exuded a charming fragrance.
"I don't want to tell you now!"
(?????)
You know, Annie got this egg while others were not paying attention. If Hermione found out and told her, it would inevitably be another trouble! And she is most afraid of trouble. Now, it is better to have less trouble than more things, so why not just talk about it?
At most, when it is cooked, she can just divide the other party a little bit, just a little bit, and pull the other party into the water and become a "accomplice".
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
“…”
"I can't tell what it is..."
Because Hermione was very sure that she had never seen an egg like this, and there seemed to be some pattern on it... But for some reason, she also had a vague feeling?
However, she is now attracted by the taste of the soup and doesn't want to think about those too complicated things for the time being.
Click ~!
At this moment, a small sound suddenly sounded.
Then, a small crack broke out on the egg shell...
Although it was very small and the cracks were not too big, Hermione, who was sharp-eyed, heard and clearly saw it. She believed that Anne beside her must have discovered it, otherwise she would not have been with her and carefully moved forward to the more side of the crucible.
“Is it cooked?”
After looking for a while, she found that there was indeed a love-sparking crack on the eggshell, Hermione asked uncertainly.
Because according to her understanding, just like when she or her mother boiled eggs in water, if the eggshell cracked, in addition to the uneven heat, it is also possible that the eggs have been completely cooked, so the solidified eggs will crack?
“…”
(ー`′ー)
"That... doesn't seem to be..."
(lll￢￢)
After just a look, Little Annie had already realized what was going on. So, she was now considering that she would take the opportunity to make up for it, and then quickly change the cooking method and change the original after-meal dessert "Potion Egg" this afternoon to something more meaty and nutritious?
for example……
A pot of chowder soup made of some kind of tall, stewed by the cubs of that magical legendary animal?
(?′?﹃?`?)
(…)
e=(′?●))) Alas
"Don't be familiar?"
"But, the egg has clearly cracked. Doesn't this mean it's already fully cooked?"
Hermione looked at the little Professor Anne next to her with some confusion, who seemed to suddenly become a little embarrassed. She didn't know why the other party said that.
Kakka...
At this time, the egg in the boiling soup in the crucible actually cracked another new crack, and it was shaking slightly, as if something was struggling inside it, which made Hermione, who was about to get closer and see clearly, was shocked.
"ah!"
"No! I remembered it!!"
Finally, three years ago, a scene that he had seen with Harry and Ron in his first grade came to her mind again, making her come back to her senses and know what the other party was cooking...
"Anne!!"
"You...you, you! You actually stolen the dragon eggs from the Triple Championship and cooked them?!!"
A scream of exclamation came out of Hermione's mouth, and the sound was a little loud. Even the originally honest and honest willow tree could not help but shake it twice, as if it was the idea of ​​lifting its huge vine-like branch to a human who was disturbing it?
However, for some reason, after struggling and "hesitating" for a few times, it had to calm down honestly under the threatening look of a little girl.
"Shhh!"
???`)!
Little Annie jumped up directly, reached out and covered Hermione's unobstructed mouth, and looked around with a little nervousness.
"Miss Hermione, please speak quietly, but don't be heard by anyone!!"
(????-)?
When this is said, it is actually not a question of oneself...
However, Annie did not see any shy or mindful look on her face. She just looked around for a moment and found that it was very hidden, and no other outsiders had arrived here yet. Then, after their words were not spread, she carefully breathed a sigh of relief.
"Annie! You are a professor. How could you do this? What are you thinking?"
"Oh no, you wait..."
After breaking away from the other party's hand with a giggle, Hermione asked the professor, who was still in a mood to smile and didn't think it was a big deal at all.
Then, she suddenly remembered something more important in front of her, and then quickly pulled out her wand and pointed it at the egg in the crucible.
"Yugadimuleviosa!!"
With Hermione's skillful spell casting and wave of his wand, soon the dragon egg that was constantly heated in the rolling potion soup was directly picked up by the floating spell and was soon placed on the grass beside him.
~ kaku...
Immediately afterwards, the unknown dragon egg with a strange pattern, which was larger than the ostrich egg, was placed on it shortly after it was placed on it, and it started to shake violently, and the cracks on it were still trembling more.
"Anne..."
"The dragon eggs are definitely not cooked with water, and you may not even think that when I was in my first grade, I saw Hagrid hatching a dragon egg... At that time, when he hatched his Norwegian spine dragon, Noble, he put it on the fire and roasted it directly. The temperature was much higher than what you put in the soup!!"
Seeing this dragon egg that survived the pot and was about to be hatched soon, Hermione once again glared at a professor who was said to have many "crime records" and was still very obsessed with cooking.
Actually, she was a little strange just now, and she didn't know why the other party would hide in such a place when she went to cook an egg... It turned out that she was going to cook a living dragon egg?!
“…”
(ˉ▽￣～～)Tick
Anne said: She hadn't cooked the dragon eggs of this world before, how could she know if it could be cooked in water? Besides, how could she know if she didn't try it in person, right?
Of course, now looking at the cracked egg in front of her that had just been made out of the crucible by Hermione, she knew what would happen next without thinking too much.
"It seems that it will really hatch in a while..."
(lll￢￢)
What a pity...
If she had known this would be the case, she would have smashed it open when she dared to get it, then found a larger frying pan, sprinkled with a few drops of soy sauce, and made it into poached eggs to eat... In that case, she would definitely not be hatched.
However, there must be no chance now, because the egg is about to become a little dragon, so it is definitely impossible to eat it. Besides, the small one does not have a few pieces of meat. She might as well go and fight the four-headed female dragons who have just been transported to the school!
“Wait a minute…”
∑(′△)?!
"You just said, how did you know that the first event of the Triumph Championship was to deal with Fire Dragons? Hermione, it seems that this matter is still kept secret, right?"
(,?▽?,)?
You should know that in principle, all the players are kept confidential, because once the Warriors know in advance, part of the significance of the game will be lost.
So, Annie was a little curious. She didn't know how Hermione in front of her knew that the competition was Fire Dragon, because even as one of the referees, she only learned that the guys had brought the big guys who had nests with eggs last night last night. Then at noon, she took advantage of the opportunity of those people having lunch and secretly took a redundant egg here to conduct her research?
That's right, it's research!
In short, for Professor Anne, who has been focusing on studying the various consumption and medicinal values ​​of magical animals recently, taking away a dragon egg is not a serious matter! Anyway, there are so many eggs and four nests, and taking away one or two will definitely not be a big deal, right?
"ah?"
"This...is actually Harry secretly told me that he saw them transported to Hogwarts yesterday while following Hagrid in an invisible cloak and heard their conversation..."
Hermione suddenly became a little shy and cramped.
Because, this matter is indeed not so glorious... In a sense, she and Harry were indeed cheating? Otherwise, after thinking for a whole morning, she would not have come to the young Professor Anne in front of her to find a way to deal with the Fire Dragon.
Of course, it is not urgent to ask for advice on how to fight the Fire Dragon. Anyway, there are still many days left before the first competition.
"I'm really cheating..."
(lll￢￢)
Sure enough, Anne knew that none of the so-called competitions, lottery or public activities were reliable or fair. They were full of the tricks of manipulating and cheating behind the scenes, even in Hogwarts!
Otherwise, the cunning old Dumbledore and the crazy fake Professor Moody would not have treated Harry Potter in different ways, and turned the other party into a Warriors in the Triple Championship.
“Hmm?!”
Σ(⊙⊙`)?
Suddenly, Annie, who was about to think about how to deal with the gadget that was about to hatch, had not had time to think of a way or take action, she heard a rustling sound from outside...
It sounds like someone is squeezing open the weeds that are as tall as the people, looking for the beating willow?
“!!”
!?(?''??)?
"Miss Hermione! Let's leave here first!!"
(*￣▽￣)o ─═≡※:☆Cleaning it!
In an emergency, with Anne waved her hand, a standard Hogwarts staffless spell was used, and soon, the crucible and the flame that had just been heated on the ground disappeared, and even the flattened and charred grass instantly returned to its original state.
At the same time, with the flash of blue arcane light, she and Hermione beside her disappeared in an instant, leaving only the "potion egg" that failed to cook was still cracking and shaking on the grass with a "crack" sound.
‘Hagir!’
‘Have you found anything there?’
‘Sorry! Charlie, not yet…’
‘…’
‘If it doesn’t work, don’t look for it now. Such a small thing is probably not going to be able to find it…’
As the two teleported away, a sound came from afar only after a while... Listening to the conversation in the form of calling between the two sides, it was obvious that they should be looking for something?
'No!'
‘Let me look for it again…I have lost one horse, and I can’t lose one…’
'etc!'
‘Oh! Merlin’s beard…’
Soon, as the sound approached, a muffled surprise sound rang out, and then another rough exclamation.
‘Hi! Charlie!’
'You guys come here and take a look. I said, Yaya heard something happening here and it was true. Come and take a look!!'
‘Hagir, what did you find…’
‘Don’t ask for it now, come and have a look!!’
Soon, the key administrator who was obviously the Hogwarts, the voice of Hagrid, who was guarding the Forbidden Forest, rang out not far from the beating Liu, and shouted loudly with some people further away.
‘!!’
‘That’s…’
‘No! Why is it here? It is still about to hatch?’
‘But, it doesn’t seem like someone has been here…’
‘Then how could it be here?’
‘Sorry, Charlie, don’t ask me, I don’t know either!’
‘…’
With Hagrid's scream, several wizards soon came here and found the missing Hungarian tree bee egg as they wished. Although it was about to hatch, it finally made them feel relieved.
After all, according to the relevant management regulations of the Fire Dragon, private dragon raising is prohibited! Therefore, those eggs must not be left outside. Even if they are trampled by the Fire Dragon itself or smashed by them, they will never let any one disappear for no reason. That is a very serious matter. Otherwise, they would not have been so nervous just now and have been searching for this nearby aimlessly for so long.
'Hello!'
'Charlie, you better not go there now...'
Suddenly, when there were more and more cracks on the egg, and the egg of the Hungarian tree wasp was about to hatch, the wizard named Charlie was about to go forward to take it away, but Hagrid was holding it quickly.
‘What’s wrong, Hagrid?’
‘We have to hurry, it’s coming out soon, I have to go over and check it out now!!’
Charlie began to struggle, and instantly knocked off Hager's big hand holding his shoulder, and was about to raise his legs and walk forward.
‘Don’t! Charlie!’
‘Listen to me, you can’t go over now. Look at that willow tree, it’s a precious willow to hit people…’
‘I bet that if you dare to lean over, you will definitely be broken by it!’
‘!?’
‘What should we do now? Just watch it like this?’
‘…’
‘I can’t deal with it, but I think there will definitely be a solution for Dumbledore or Professor Pomona Sprout…’
‘Oh! Look, it comes out…’
Soon, the Hungarian tree wasp finally squeezed out the eggshell and drilled into a head.
Although its small head, which was covered with ferocious spikes, was curiously looking at Hagrid, Charlie and others who were watching it more than ten steps away but did not dare to approach him.
‘Hiss~!’
Then, after a small roar, the little Hungarian tree bee burst into excitedly after spraying a small flame at the branches of the willow trees hanging down on its head.
‘It’s so charming!’
‘It seems to be healthy, too, not good!!’
At this time, Hager, Charlie and others were about to do something, but they were too late to go to time, but they could only watch the thick branch of the willow that hit the man suddenly threw it down in vain!
Pa~!!
With a crisp slap, the thick willow branch that hit the ground immediately swept away the little fire dragon that had just emerged from the shell and set fire to burn it.
Chapter completed!
