I Want to Spoil the Plot

Ever since seeing the report about the dragon egg in the Daily Prophet, Albert had been secretly observing Quirrell's changes and was fairly certain that Quirrell had successfully obtained a dragon egg.

After reaching this conclusion, a very bold idea suddenly popped into Albert's mind. What if he quietly broke into Quirrell's room and stole the dragon egg? How would things develop then?

Quirrell might be so angry he'd vomit blood?

After all, he hadn't even managed to steal the Philosopher's Stone yet, and his own things had been stolen first.

Without a dragon egg, can Quirrell get the answer from Hagrid on how to subdue Fluffy?

Will he get another dragon egg, or will he resort to brute force to break through Fluffy's level?

Will Hagrid get another dragon egg because of this? Will Harry be caught by Professor McGonagall in the middle of the night for sending away that dragon, and eventually go into the Forbidden Forest with Malfoy?

Honestly, if the rewards from the panel quests are generous enough, Albert wouldn't mind taking the risk and trying them out to make the future more interesting.

However, while the benefits of preventing Voldemort from stealing the Philosopher's Stone were considerable, they weren't enough to drive Albert to such extremes as to alter the course of the future.

While the known future may be somewhat boring, it's safe!

Albert was already considering how to use the dragon egg incident to level up his quests and gain personal benefits.

Compared to the unicorn incident, the dragon egg incident was obviously easier and safer.

After thinking it over for a few days, Albert decided to do something audacious.

The identity of Seer can be put to good use, and it can also be used to guide (or mislead) Potter in the future to gain more benefits for oneself.

"I really am a very realistic person!" Albert thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

He was ready to spoil the plot for Hagrid, telling him that his wish to own a dragon was about to come true, and also to convince Hagrid that he could make Prophecy.

Before dinner, Albert parted ways with his roommates and hurried through the Entrance Hall toward Hagrid's Hut, only to be stopped halfway there.

"Is there something you need, Miss Granger?" Albert stopped and looked at Hermione, who had called out to him, with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, I just thought it was strange that you left the castle at mealtime." Hermione's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but she didn't hide her curiosity. "Can I go with you to find Hagrid? Of course, if you feel it's inconvenient, then that's fine."

"It's not inconvenient at all. If you don't mind missing dinner and going hungry, I don't mind at all," Albert said with a shrug.

Actually, when he told Fred, George, and Lee Jordan that he had something to discuss with Hagrid, he was referring to Hermione.

Albert doesn't deny that Hermione is smart, but even smart people can fall into traps without realizing it when guided by others, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Curiosity killed the cat, that's for sure. Hermione had already become curious about Albert last time, and some unusual behavior would undoubtedly pique her curiosity.

Of course, it doesn't matter if we fail.

"What do you need Hagrid for?"

Halfway there, Hermione asked tentatively.

Albert didn't answer Hermione's question immediately. The two walked along the gravel path to Hagrid's Hut. Albert immediately reached out and knocked on the wooden door of Hagrid's Hut.

"Why are you here?" Hagrid was having dinner when he opened the door and looked at Albert and Hermione outside with surprise, wondering why they had come at this time.

"There's something I want to tell you." Albert strode into the cabin, immediately looked around, and went to the fireplace to examine it carefully, as if searching for something.

His unusual behavior left Hagrid and Hermione somewhat bewildered.

"What are you looking for?" Hagrid couldn't help but ask.

"Last night, I had a dream." Albert looked at Hagrid, who was full of doubt, and said calmly, "I dreamt that you got a dragon egg, hatched it, and kept the dragon in your hut. Later, your hut was set on fire, Fang was inside."

"Wait, what dragon egg? You mean in the dream?" Hagrid looked at Albert with confusion and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Hermione also found Albert's reaction strange. Why would he take a dream so seriously? "It seems you haven't gotten the dragon egg yet?" Albert said with an "I see" expression. "You should get a dragon egg soon and try to hatch it and keep it in the cabin."

"Albert, that was just a dream," Hermione reminded him awkwardly.

"Of course I know it was just a dream, but as someone who has mastered Divination, I know very well what it means." Albert noticed Hermione and Hagrid's gazes and explained with feigned impatience, "It was a Prophecy."

"Prophecy?"

Hermione stared at Albert in disbelief, even wondering if he had gone mad.

"You mean I'll get a dragon egg and raise a dragon?"

Hagrid asked incredulously, though his instincts told him it was unbelievable, but Albert seemed to have no reason to deceive him, nor any need to do so.

At least, Albert never lied to himself.

As for the so-called Divination, Hagrid has already forgotten about it.

"You can Divination?" Hermione thought of the rumors that Albert could Prophecy.

Does he really possess the ability to Prophecy?

Albert ignored Hermione's question and looked at Hagrid, whose expression was complicated, and said, "The Forbidden Forest has been very unsafe lately. If you go there, you'd better be careful."

"The Forbidden Forest?" Hagrid was even more confused. He had just been to the Forbidden Forest not long ago and hadn't noticed anything amiss.

"The Forbidden Forest is not peaceful. I once made a Prophecy related to the Forbidden Forest, and I have a feeling that this Prophecy may come true."

"Are you really alright?" Hagrid asked worriedly. "You seem to have become rather mysterious."

"I know some things are indeed hard to believe. After all, no one would believe these things would happen before they did," Albert shook his head and said. "Believe a little bit, it won't do you any harm. You'll soon realize that what I'm saying is true."

Hagrid opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded stiffly.

He didn't think Albert would come to him and say these strange things out of the blue.

Unless, he's gone mad?

Has Albert gone mad?

Obviously not.

So, what's the second possibility? Can Albert really predict the future? Before Hagrid could even react, Albert turned and left, showing no intention of lingering any longer.

On the way back to the castle, Albert noticed Hermione's puzzled look and explained, "You don't know, Hagrid caused a lot of trouble when he Fluffy. If he keeps a dragon this time, it will be a real disaster. You should know that wizards are not allowed to keep dragons."
