Admiral of Hogwarts

Hugo didn't wait too long after arriving in the hall. Only seven or eight minutes later, Veneto and Hermione walked down the large staircase. Obviously, as a standard British person, Hermione did not intend to let go of this opportunity to enjoy some sunshine.

"Let's sit at the gate of the castle for a while." Hermione suggested. Thinking of studying in the afternoon, Hugo and the others did not dare to run too far, but simply sat on the grass at the gate of the castle. Come down.

But just when they had rested for five or six minutes, they suddenly saw Hagrid walking out of the castle gate nervously wearing a moleskin coat that was absolutely inappropriate for this season. He also put his hands behind his back, looking like As if to hide something.

"Good afternoon, Hagrid." Hermione also spotted Hagrid at this time and waved hello, "I remember that you usually don't enter the castle. What's going on today?"

"Just taking a look around here," Hagrid said, his voice so evasive that it was hard not to be suspicious. "By the way, I remember that you usually study in the library at this time?"

"It's the weekend now, and the weather outside is so nice. So naturally we have to go out and bask in the sun." Hugo said with a shrug. At this time, Veneto took advantage of Hugo and Hermione to attract Hagrid's attention. He stood up from the grass and walked to the side of Hagrid to try to see what he was holding.

"Well, the weather is really nice today. I wish you all a nice afternoon." Although Veneto's movements were very small, Hagrid still noticed her actions, so he quickly ended the conversation and left in a slight panic. .

"Did you see what book Hagrid was holding in his hand just now?" After Hagrid walked away, Hermione asked Veneto who was standing aside. "I feel a little strange. Reading is not something to be ashamed of. Why would Hagrid hide it at this time?"

"Hagrid was actually always alert when he was talking to us. When I walked over, he covered the title of the book with his hand." Veneto said, and then he raised his head with a proud look on his face. "But before that I saw the titles of two of the books. One of them was about species of dragons in Great Britain and Ireland, and the other was from hatching eggs to nirvana."

What Veneto said was half-truth, because Hagrid had big hands, so she didn't see the name on the cover of the book at all. But because she and Hugo had frantically digitized the books in the library and uploaded them to the Admiral's network, she was able to determine what those two books were based on their special shapes.

You know, ship girls remember things completely differently from humans. When human beings record these materials, they usually record the words. The ship girl is more like a machine in this regard. The process of memorizing is the process of re-scanning the book. That's how Veneto was able to determine the contents of books by the look of their covers.

"Why did he want to look up all this information related to dragons?" After hearing Veneto's words, Hermione showed a thoughtful expression. "If I remember correctly, Hagrid seemed to have always been interested in those big and ferocious animals when we were chatting before, and he also said he wanted to raise a dragon."

"It's illegal to keep dragons," said Veneto, who knew the plot and development of the upcoming story. "According to the information I checked, at the Wizards' Conference in 1709, a bill banning raising dragons was officially passed. After all, dragons are creatures that require a lot of space for movement. It is difficult for ordinary wizards to keep dragons without being discovered. "

"You're right. Swallow-tailed dogs or cats can be disguised as ordinary creatures and kept in the backyard. Most people can't tell the difference between them and ordinary dogs or cats. But a dog that is more than ten meters long can breathe fire. The dragon cannot be disguised in any way," Hugo went on to add.

"What do you think is the probability that a wild dragon suddenly appears in the Forbidden Forest now?" Hermione asked after thinking for a while. "Because when I was checking the information, I found that the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is the place with the largest variety of magical animals in the entire northern part of the British Isles and even the British Isles. It is not impossible for dragons to appear in such a place."

"What you said makes sense." Veneto nodded. "There are only two kinds of dragons native to the UK, the common Welsh Green Dragon and the Hebridean Black Dragon. But they basically only move around their habitats, and usually They are closely monitored by the Ministry of Magic. So it is unlikely that they would have traveled such a long distance to get here undetected.”

"So what exactly does Hagrid want to do?" Hermione said. Of course, based on the results of everyone's previous discussions, she already had a vague guess in her mind, but at this time she was not sure about this guess. .

For more than half an hour, Hugo and the others enjoyed the rare sunshine in the Scottish Highlands, until Hermione suddenly stood up and said, "No, although Hagrid has such and such problems, he is our Friend. I can't just watch him go to crime."

After saying that, she lowered her head and looked at Hugo and Veneto, "I'm going to go to Hagrid's cabin to have a look. If he really does something that violates the law, I will try my best to stop him. Will you come too? "

"Of course, my dear sister, I definitely can't let you go alone for this kind of thing." Hugo said after pulling Veneto to stand up. After all, this was a good opportunity to earn destiny points and start a new plot. Naturally, he Won't let it go.

"But it would be a bit impolite for us to just come to the door like this." Hugo thought for a while and then whispered a few words to Veneto beside him. Then Hermione saw Veneto nod and run towards the castle.

"Let's wait here for a while." Hugo said to Hermione after watching Veneto run into the castle. "Veneto will go to the dormitory now and take down the Hagrid's notes that he compiled before. We can borrow them later. I went to him to ask about the questions in my notes."

"This is indeed a good idea." After hearing Hugo's words, Hermione nodded with a clear face. Although she often ignores some things in this type of interpersonal communication, it does not mean that she does not understand them. Obviously, asking for notes is a much better excuse than rushing into the room and questioning someone.

A few minutes later, Veneto ran out with his notebook. Then they walked together to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and knocked on the door of the hunting guard's hut. Hermione's face looked a little serious at this time, because she found that the hut was completely different from usual now, and all the curtains were drawn tightly.

"Who is it?" After hearing the knock on the door, Hagrid's voice came from the room. After Hugo revealed his identity, Hagrid slowly opened the door. After seeing that it was indeed them, he looked relieved, then stepped aside to invite them in, and then quickly turned around and closed the door.
