Chapter 400 Hourglass
Felix looked around and saw Moody's figure.
Indeed, in this environment, it is not suitable for him to appear. Perhaps because a firecracker explodes around him, he will turn all the little wizards in his sight into animals in the corresponding academy.
Well... he imagined this kind of scene, the little lion, the little snake, the little badger, and the little eagles fluttered around in the auditorium. The house elves who rushed over carried a basket of vegetables and put them away one by one...
"Ha, it's interesting!"
"Are you talking about that dog? It's really interesting..."
Snape's eyes were flashing with a malicious light. Felix looked over with his eyes and saw a big black dog slipping in at some point, taking a piece of meat chop from the dining table, lying in the corner, staring at Harry.
When they noticed their gaze, the big black dog waved his paws very humanely, and the gravy at the corners of his mouth flowed.
"He is indeed a good dog, and I don't know that Azkaban has this training..." Snape said slowly.
...
The celebration lasted until the evening, even saving dinner. The people in the auditorium came and went around, exhausting the elves in the kitchen.
Gryffindor lounge entrance.
Harry yawned back, and in the portrait of the fat lady's friend, Violet asked with interest: "I heard you snatched the Fire Dragon's egg?"
She stared at Harry without blinking as she spoke, with a shiny golden egg under his arm.
"Yes... nonsense." Harry said the command.
"No!" Violet said angrily.
"He was talking about the password...the password was nonsense." said the fat lady, who pushed her friend out of the frame and turned her body forward to reveal the entrance to the lounge.
There were not many people inside, and Harry went around the dormitory, and there was no one inside. He put the golden egg on the bed and lay on the pillow in a daze. What happened in the afternoon seemed to be in front of him. He was still very worried during the day, but he didn't let himself show it. But after the end, he felt that the Fire Dragon was no big deal.
He thought of what Hagrid said, and he pulled out the magic lamp of the Hungarian tree bee from his robe's pocket, and gently pressed it. The little fire dragon began to flap its wings and flap its wings, spitting out a soft light.
It's a bit cute...Hagge's words make sense...
He picked up the hourglass on the bedside table, which was exchanged by Professor Happ, whom he raised. He put it on the cabinet and accompanied a stack of magic cards. Crook Mountain had sneaked in and dispersed the cards and the hourglass. He only gathered the cards at that time. He stepped on them when he was sleeping at night and found that the hourglass had also fallen to the ground.
He was worried that the hourglass would be broken when he pulled it out of the gap on the floor, but unexpectedly, the hourglass was very strong and intact.
At this moment, Hermione poked her head out of the door, "Harry, are you here?"
"exist"
"We'll study laying golden eggs."
Harry suddenly got up from the bed and came to the common room.
"Where is Ron?" Hermione asked casually, staring at the Golden Egg intently.
"He hasn't come back yet, he should be with those lower graders... You know, he's under a lot of pressure recently," Harry said.
They got together, hesitating whether to open it.
While in the auditorium, Roger Davis opened the golden egg in public and wanted to see what it was, but found that the heavy golden egg was empty. Then an extremely terrifying, sharp scream came from it, which was even more terrifying than the sound of the ghost band playing with jigsaws, and the hysterical screams of Myrtle that Harry had heard. His heart almost stopped.
After that, Li Jordan and the twins, who were originally interested in the golden egg, refused to touch it again. Harry handed it over to a big black dog for safekeeping and secretly brought him two grilled sausages.
"Did you raise this?" asked an ethereal voice.
Harry turned around and it was Luna. A string of magic lamps floated around her, flying around her, and a fire dragon shaped like a lie on her head.
"Oh, uh...yes," he stammered.
Sirius cooperated to stretch out a paw and handed it to Harry. Harry shook it twice, "Look... he will shake hands, oh, I mean... it."
"Many people think that black dogs are a sign of disaster, and some people write a book for them..." Luna said softly, and the others in their sight avoided the place from afar, "But I don't think so. He is a loyal friend."
"Oh, uh, thank you," said Harry.
He wasn't sure Luna had found something, but she just asked and left, just like she suddenly appeared.
...
Finally, Hermione stuck her hand out, pressed her nails down the very inconspicuous groove in the middle of the golden egg, and pried it open.
The shrill scream immediately echoed in the lounge, which scared Ron who had just entered and sat on the steps at the door, causing the fat lady to urge him outside.
Hermione closed the golden egg hard, "No..." she said disappointedly, "It seems that everyone's golden egg is the same."
"What do you think?" Ron heard the second half of the words and sat next to them.
"I saw from the book that in the past championships, sometimes the clues obtained by different rankings were different." Hermione explained dryly, her face pale, and she was very scared by the voice.
It's really awful...
Ron shrugged and knocked the golden egg with his hand, "If we chant a spell on it... For example, Skachi, Ska..."
"Skaping's current curse."
"Yes, that's it." Ron said with a positive look.
"That's analyzing the ingredients of the potion," Hermione said angrily, and she thought about it carefully. "It's not impossible. This kind of thinking...we can try the analytical methods in alchemy."
"Who of us knows this thing?" Ron asked, then looked at Hermione with Harry.
"Neither," Hermione spread her hands, "but I know Professor Hepp will, well, I can go and learn."
"So troublesome?"
"No trouble, we have three months. If we can get into puzzles within one month, we have enough time to prepare." Hermione said confidently: "And we can learn one more skill. Alchemy and magic text are inseparable, and you can use it."
Harry's mouth felt a little bitter. Just keeping up with the increasingly difficult activities of the Magic Wen Club was a test of him. The only good news was that the Magic Wen Club never left homework. He looked at Ron, and their expressions were not surprisingly unified.
"I'll leave the golden egg to you, Hermione." Ron said righteously.
Hermione stared at her stern eyes, and he quickly changed the subject and looked around, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, Harry, why did you take it out?"
Harry was stunned, and then he realized that Ron was referring to the hourglass. It turned out that he took it out in a hurry just now.
"What is this?" Hermione asked, feeling the thing looks familiar.
"The hourglass that Valen and I exchanged, I told you," Harry explained.
Hermione snatched the hourglass from Ron and stared at it thoughtfully, "I must have seen something like this somewhere..."
"Is it an antique?" Ron asked with interest: "Have you read this kind of book?" His last question revealed his true thoughts, and he asked with anticipation: "How much do you think it's worth?"
Hermione played with the hourglass for a long time, holding it up and shaking at the magic lamp above the lounge from time to time, making a strange sound from her mouth.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, but they knew it would be better not to interrupt her at this time, because she was already in a state of fanatical research.
"I remember it!" Hermione said, her eyes as if they were shining. "I know where I have seen this hourglass. It's not a book. I've entered a misunderstanding... it's Egypt!"
"Egypt?" the two asked in unison.
"Yes, Egypt," she suddenly laughed like a greedy fox, and was overjoyed: "No wonder Professor Heip wanted to teach Valen. It turned out that he had a criminal record."
"What the hell is it, Hermione, don't keep it in the way." Ron said anxiously.
