Chapter 98 Hagrid's Fire Dragon Egg

Intelligence is undoubtedly a very important thing.

Without information, no matter how strong you are, you are just blind.

Many times, when two sides of equal strength, one side suddenly fails miserably, because of poor information.

Dumbledore has a group of excellent intelligence agents, and even the headmasters of Hogwarts are his little birds.

These principals hold high positions and have picture frames on many important occasions. They can move freely, detect a lot of important information, and then quietly feed back to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore then sifted out useful intelligence and classified and integrated it.

Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror's office, wanted to get Dumbledore's intelligence and know who was controlling Quirrell from behind, but no one paid him any attention.

Does William need intelligence?

Of course it is needed.

In the simplest case, Umbridge must have a grudge against him.

There are too many ways to deal with himself, and William can think of many casually.

For example: Little wizards can't perform magic outside the school, this matter can be big or small.

If she was smart enough, she could make a fuss about this kind of thing, forcing William to perform magic outside the school and plotting to expel him.

With Dumbledore around, he certainly wouldn't be fired, but he was definitely disgusting enough.

If William had information, he could have insight into Umbridge's every move in advance, and he could even seize her handle and turn her back.

Such as the possible power-color relationship between Fudge and Umbridge.

As long as there is evidence for such a scandal, even removing Fudge, the Minister of Magic, would be an easy task.

Currently, William only has one eye on Bertha at the Ministry of Magic, which is undoubtedly not enough.

William set his sights on Tonks.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing William staring at him, Tonks looked puzzled.

William knew about Dumbledore, and a newly graduated witch like Tonks could not be his golden spy.

Tonks said that while working for Dumbledore, she was definitely putting money on her face. At best, she was the kind of communicator, and the rest of the time she spontaneously became a sailor.

But William knew that Tonks could be trusted and she would be an Auror too.

William rubbed his hands together and said sweetly: "Sister Tonks, when you are working for Dumbledore in the future, can you tell me the information you get in advance?"

Tonks squinted and said disdainfully, "Why, you want me to be a spy for you?"

"Why is it so ugly, I also want to graduate to be an Auror, first understand the market of this profession, isn't it, sister!"

After the emotional card was over, William hurriedly threw the killer.

"I'll give you a Galleon every month!"

"It's not about money."

Tonks actually wanted to say, "Where did you send the beggars?"

"Five Galleons."

"I'm an Auror!" Tonks was furious. "William, please don't insult my profession, or I'll send you to Azkaban!"

"Fifteen Galleons, free use of the latest products from the Akali Mystery Store."

William quickly added another sentence.

"Don't do it, anyway, some people do it. I remember Prefect Robert also joined the Ministry of Magic. Based on my relationship with him, the price should be very low."

"Go!" Tonks changed his face quickly, put his arms around William's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Why don't you do it, anyway, I'm just an Auror intern, not a full-time employee.

Let's talk about it first, when I change it, the price will have to increase..."

William sighed.

Or Dumbledore is comfortable,

People who don't give money are crying and shouting to be a spy for him for free.

William has worked so hard for so long to barely develop two dark lines.

When will he be able to inherit Dumbledore's power?

After Tonks stole fifteen Galleons from William, he happily said, "By the way, on the first day of work, my sister will give you some information."

"What information?"

"That woman, Rita Kist, has your eye on you. She has applied to interview you as a team reporter several times, but Scrimgeour has refused."

"Rita?" William frowned. "Isn't she arguing with Old Man Newt in the newspaper?"

"Mr. Scamander is already out of breath!" Tonks laughed: "No one cares if he has an affair with the former former US Congress president. Many people think he is rubbing off on Rita's popularity."

"..."

Tonks gloated and said, "The woman found out that she didn't make money and became interested in you. She spoke out and wanted to have an in-depth chat with you about life!"

William raised his eyebrows, but he was thinking of another thing: it would be great if he could develop Rita into his own gold medal spy.

But this kind of thing is not easy!

...

...

With the conclusion of the Ministry of Magic investigation, the Daily Prophet soon revealed the whole affair.

This incident caused a great stir.

At this time, the influence is manifested.

The major newspapers reported: "Dumbledore captures the dark wizard who attacked Gringotts"

If the title becomes: "Shock! Hogwarts Professor Arrested Again", it would be completely different.

Obviously describing the same thing, but the effect of public opinion is very different.

The former will praise Dumbledore; the latter will wonder... Is Hogwarts safe?

But this kind of little thing is only the icing on the cake for Dumbledore's reputation.

Instead, William's reputation skyrocketed.

William was an eyewitness in the Gringotts case, and he was the one who identified Quirrell.

According to the Auror's office: the child resisted the dark wizard, saving Gringotts from looting.

Quirrell went from a sudden death model worker to a robber overnight.

The wind is changing so fast.

But Quirrell was a ghost. He floated around all day and didn't speak. No one could meet him. He just spit when they met.

After a while, no one paid him any attention.

Worst of all was the little wizards at Hogwarts, who had another semester without a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

It is said that Snape offered to let him take him for a semester, but Dumbledore refused.

As time passed, the impact of the Quirrell incident gradually subsided, but Hagrid's possession of the dragon egg finally came to light.

It may be inaccurate to use the word "unexpected incident", but he took the initiative to find William and the others, crying that he had been deceived!

In Hagrid's cabin, the fireplace was burning hot.

"I was chatting with Shae about the unicorn thing...she was interested.

I said I would give her a unicorn wool underwear...she was very happy and said she could show me..."

"Wait, Hagrid," William interrupted. "Who is Shae?"

"You've seen girls who drink sherry at the Leaky Cauldron."

William recalled a little. In his memory, it was a few old women who often drank at the Leaky Cauldron...

Hagrid called them girls?

"I was about to leave with Shae...well over Christmas, we were going to have some fun.

But bumped into Shae's friend...a guy in a hood who wanted us to drink and play cards.

You know...I've never won at poker, but I was lucky that day and won ten hands in a row. "

"Xue Yi's friend finally ran out of money, so he gave me the dragon egg."

Hagrid pointed to a dragon egg on the bed.

"However, how do you know that this dragon egg was given to you by Quirrell?" Qiu, who was sitting beside the fire, wondered.

Hagrid said uneasy: "Who would carry a dragon egg with them?

It's illegal!

I was weird at the time, fooling myself that he just wanted to get rid of the dragon egg..."

Hagrid lowered his head.

"But he doesn't have to be Quirrell."

"I remember when I was drunk, he asked me about the three-headed dog, and I told him that Lou Wei would sleep only when I sang... In the end, he invited me to sing..."

Hagrid had a look of horror on his face.

"Since Quirrell's death, the more I think about it, the more it feels wrong! I leaked Dumbledore's secret to me..."

William was tempted to say that Dumbledore didn't expect Hagrid's secrecy in the first place.

He comforted: "Hagrid, it's okay, Quirrell is a dark wizard, he's dead."

"Then what about this fire dragon egg?" Hagrid worried. "If found out, I might be taken as Quirrell's companion and taken to Azkaban."

If there was anything Hagrid was afraid of, it was probably Azkaban.

"We can send the dragon eggs away." Qiu suggested.

"Yes, for Charlie." Cedric nodded, "Didn't he raise dragons in Romania?"

"Give it to Newt," William said, "judging from the egg pattern, it's a Norwegian Ridgeback and must be sent to Norway.

Charlie is in Romania, which is not suitable for this dragon. "

Hagrid was a little reluctant, and finally nodded.

Fortunately, he has not hatched the dragon with fire, otherwise things would be a lot of trouble.
