"Hermione, what you said can only be used as a last resort if there is no evidence. At that time, even if there is no evidence, it will still make Dumbledore wary." Ivy also did not suggest it.
"Before that, be prepared to fight alone. You'd better take the time to learn some practical magic. Although Qiluo can't defeat Snape, he is still our teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Don't be careless!
"
"I will go to Betty for advice tomorrow. You two are not allowed to be lazy!" Hermione nodded and said seriously.
"Ah~" Ron was screaming with a grimace. He turned around and saw that Harry was not moving at all. He pushed him and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh - nothing." Harry came back to his senses and said suspiciously, "I was wondering why Qiluo wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone?"
"Why else, eternal life!" Ron said without thinking.
"No, it's not that simple. I just suddenly remembered that every time - whenever I see Qiluo's back, the scar on my head hurts. I thought it was Snape's fault before." Harry didn't understand himself.
What is the connection with Qiluo? Also, why is it just the back view?
"This is quite strange. Can you still remember the first time you met?" Ivy asked.
"Remember, I didn't actually say a few words. Hagrid introduced him then, and I was ready to shake hands with him, but he was trembling and didn't extend his hand." Harry recalled.
"Why doesn't he shake your hand?" Ivy continued.
"How do I know?"

The following days were busy. Harry and the others didn't know why, but they were very concerned about this matter.
To this end, Hermione also learned the "activation spell" from Betty, a spell that turns static into movement. This spell is very difficult. Only fourth- and fifth-grade students have the opportunity to touch it. Even Betty, who is extremely talented, can only
Beginner. Hermione practiced for a long time under Betty's step-by-step guidance, and could barely perform it.
She wanted to activate a paper butterfly. Except for Qiluo's class time, she would monitor Qiluo outside Qiluo's house at other times. But later she found that it was not realistic. The duration of her magic power was too short, only twenty minutes at most.
"Hermione, there's no need to go to such trouble. There are many people coming and going during the day, so it's impossible for Qiluo to do it during the day. The best time is at night, after everyone is asleep," Ivy reminded her not to be so tired.
"But that time is also very long."
"I don't think he will take action in the near future." He planned to say more to save the trio from being suspicious all day long.
"As long as Dumbledore is in school, I don't believe that Qiluo has the courage to act under his nose."
"That's right, Dumbledore is the man who defeated two generations of Dark Lords." Harry obviously had great confidence in Dumbledore.
"It's Easter soon, and there are exams in more than two months. It's more important for you to worry about this. Don't just think about how to save the world all day long."

Hagrid's hut outside the hunting ground
"Dong dong dong" Ivy knocked on the wooden door
"Who is it?" Hagrid opened the door. "Ivy? Betty? Why are you here?"
"Long time no see, Hagrid. I brought you a gift." Ivy was carrying a bag about the same size as him, filled with junk food such as burgers, Coke, French fries, etc.
"Thank you, I haven't eaten Muggle food for a long time. Come in first." Hagrid stepped aside.
When they came to the house, the three of them sat down around the campfire. Hagrid first took out two boxes of French fries from his bag and handed them to Ivy and Betty, then he took out a hamburger and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It tastes so good. I remember this is called hamburger, right?" He chewed it two or three times and then swallowed it.
"As long as you like it, Hagrid. I won't beat around the bush. I have something to ask you for help today." Seeing Hagrid's happy expression, Ivy quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"I like your honesty. Tell me, if you need my help with anything, I will definitely help you." Hagrid responded directly by patting his chest.
"I heard from Harry that you have a dragon egg, right?"
"Pfft——! Ahem——" Hagrid, who was drinking Coke, sprayed it all over the floor. "Harry, you have such a big mouth. You didn't tell anyone else, did you?"
"Don't worry, Harry told both of us. I came today just to ask about the situation of this dragon egg." Ivy motioned to Hagrid to relax.
"What do you want to do?"
"We want a little bit of its blood"
"Fire dragon blood? Why do you want it?"
"Mainly my mother. She needs the essence and blood of a young dragon to refine a potion."
"Irene? That's fine. As long as you don't smoke too much, it won't have much impact." Hagrid still trusted Irene.
"Then let me thank you first on behalf of my mother." Ivey bowed
"It's okay, I've known Eileen very well since she was in school." Hagrid said nonchalantly.
"How long will it take for the fire dragon eggs to hatch?"
"It's coming soon. I've been keeping it in the fire. It shouldn't take more than a week." Hagrid thought for a moment. "When it hatches, I will send you a message, and I will come over with Harry and the others."
"Okay, then we won't bother you anymore."

herbal medicine class
"Ivey"
Everyone had just transplanted a mourning flower, and Professor Sprout asked the little wizards to rest for a while. At this time, Harry called him quietly and pointed to the note in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Ivey came over
"Hagrid just sent a letter saying that the dragon eggs are about to hatch. Let's go and see them together!" Ron said excitedly
"Shhh - keep your voice down so that no one else can hear you." Harry saw Malfoy standing not far away and eavesdropping on their conversation.
"You don't really want to go. Ivy, you won't mess around," Hermione said sternly.
"Come on, Hermione. How many times in our lifetime can we see a fire dragon emerge from its shell?" Ron wanted to skip class and go directly.
"If we don't go to class, we will get into a lot of trouble. If anyone finds out what Hagrid did, he will be even more unlucky than us." Hermione obviously disagreed.
"Stop arguing, Hermione. Let's take a sneak peek at the head office during our break." Ivy tried to smooth things over.
"This -, okay~" Hermione reluctantly agreed
As soon as the bell rang, the five people dropped their shovels and hurried across the grass towards Hagrid's hut.
When they arrived, Hagrid was standing at the door to greet them. His face was red and he looked very happy.
"Hurry! It's about to break out of the shell." He couldn't wait.
Several people walked into the house. The fire dragon egg was placed on the table. A crack had appeared in the body of the egg. Through the crack, a dark thing could be seen inside that was arching outward. Several people gathered around the table and held their breath.
Breathe and watch closely.
With a harsh scratching sound, the eggshell cracked. First an ugly head popped out, and it flopped out desperately. After a struggle, the crack became bigger and bigger, and the Charmander crawled out with its whole body.
"Uh--is this a fire dragon? It's so ugly~" Hermione immediately disliked it
"Yeah, I thought it was so majestic." Ron lost interest too.
The newly born fire dragon looks really ugly. It is all black like a hairless black-bone chicken, and its fleshy wings are like chicken wings, with barbs all over them. There are two raised fleshy bumps on the forehead, paired with orange-red eyes.
, looked ferocious and disgusting. After it crawled out, it quickly ate up its own eggshells.
"How is it? It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid stared at the young dragon without blinking.
"Hagrid, you can appreciate it slowly later. Let me take some blood first." Ivy took out a syringe.
"Slow down, don't hurt him." Hagrid moved his position.
"Don't worry, this is the syringe I specially asked for from Irene. It won't hurt and there are no wounds."
The syringe did not have a needle. Ivey just put his head on the baby dragon's neck, and the sulfur-colored blood was slowly introduced into the tube. After taking out most of the tube, although there was no pain, he could clearly feel that the little guy was weak.
