In a cabin near the Forbidden Forest, the crackling of burning wood, the glow of the fireplace, and the warmth in the air, combined with a hearty meal, inevitably caused everyone to yawn repeatedly, their heads nodding.

However, Ron remained somewhat lucid, partly because he wasn't full, and the desire to fill his empty stomach helped him.

Secondly, it's because of Arasped, which keeps making rustling noises.

Just as Hagrid was talking about how Arasped's appetite had recently increased dramatically, Ron finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Hagrid, why did Dumbledore ask you to ask us?"

"Isn't that a simple question?" Ron changed the subject. Harry, whose head was already resting on Ginny's tablet, snapped awake.

Yes!

Could it be—?

Harry learned one thing from Ryan — Voldemort was dead again.

Did Dumbledore use this question to get him in touch with Hagrid?

Then let's see what he dreamed about, and whether it contained the address where Voldemort is currently hiding.

But given his personality, even if Dumbledore didn't allow Hagrid to subtly probe through this question, he would have told him immediately anyway.

The lingering drowsiness, coupled with Ron's speculation, left Harry's mind completely blank, as if filled with mush.

Harry would never have guessed that this was entirely Dumbledore's whim.

As the greatest white wizard, Dumbledore, especially with some of Grindelwald's traits superimposed on him, made his wizarding intuition incredibly powerful.

He may not have known that Harry and the others went to the moon, but subconsciously Dumbledore made this seemingly insignificant move.

If Ryan hadn't managed to teleport Harry and the others from the moon back to their dorm in that brief moment, the normal course of events would have been for Dumbledore to discover their Harry through this seemingly insignificant act.

Finally, they learned about Moon City through them.

"Hmm, perhaps it's because Dumbledore too Wisdom."

"You should know that of the four dragons chosen by the Ministry of Magic, three are foreign dragons."

"If you look at it, you might only see whether the dragon is majestic or what its characteristics are."

"But Dumbledore will also see things like diplomacy, economics, and game design—things you'd never even imagine in your lifetime." Hagrid, a die-hard fan of Dumbledore, was full of praise for Dumbledore.

"Maybe." The four little ones felt a bit strange, but couldn't find a better reason.

"By the way, what happened to Fred and George?" Hagrid suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Them!"

"They and Percy abandoned Ginny and me to go see Bill in Egypt!" Ron immediately put his suspicions aside and recalled how he felt when he found out they had gone on vacation.

"They even put on a blind date for Ron."

"Excuse me, is it something I can say?"

"I've never been on a blind date, since I already have Harry," Ginny said, under Ron's bewildered gaze.

Hagrid, Harry, Draco had no idea how Ron had managed to offend Ginny again.

Only Ginny knew that this was because she had just been with Harry Winn when Ron suddenly interrupted them.

Thinking of this, Ginny touched her chest, which was wet with Harry's saliva.

"It's true!"

"A matchmaking event—well, I mean, did those two really go to Egypt?" Hagrid patted his chest in relief.

He found that Ron's resentful gaze was burning him alive when he mentioned blind dates.

"Really!" Ron looked at Ginny and Hagrid reproachfully.

"I was wondering why they were like this last night—" Hagrid quickly covered his mouth before he could finish his sentence.

"Last night?" Harry perked up his ears.

"Were they still at Hogwarts yesterday?" Ron Fly rubbed his hands together, a wicked grin on his face, imagining Fred and George still at Hogwarts, caught by him, and beaten up with the new tricks he learned at Moon City.

"They don't go to the Forbidden Forest often, do they?" Among those present, Ginny, who knew the Weasley Twins as well as Ron but was quicker-witted Ron, had an idea.

"No way!"

"They say there are Werewolf in there!" Draco looked at Hagrid suspiciously. Hagrid had clearly shown a guilty expression when he heard Ginny's words—even his full beard couldn't hide it.

As soon as Draco finished speaking, four pairs of eyes turned to Hagrid.

"You—you shouldn't look at me like that."

"I—I promised. Okay, I'll talk!" Hagrid couldn't withstand the interrogation of Harry and the others' gazes and finally gave up.

"Ron, Ginny. You've probably both heard Fred and George's dream—to open a joke shop, just like Zonko's Joke Shop."

"However, although they are very talented in this area, they need to use some raw materials to develop products."

"And you should all understand that."

"So I've always tacitly accepted that they were sneaking into the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid poked his two index fingers together, looking very uneasy.

"I'm going to tell my mom."

"That's so dangerous!" Ginny exclaimed angrily.

"What is semi-default?" Ron asked quickly.

Strangely enough, apart from Ginny, all the boys present thought it was no big deal.

Ron was the same way, although he was still angry that his brothers hadn't taken him to Egypt and had even played pranks on him.

However, faced with Ginny's intention to tell her mother directly, Ron still chose to speak up.

Because of his status as Ginny's boyfriend, Harry could only secretly wink at Ron to show his support.

"Ginny, you don't need to worry about that."

"I've always been somewhat acquiescing to them."

"If they really have the idea of running to a dangerous place, then I will stand up and stop them."

"I'm a professional in this area."

"It's strange, but I've always had a strange sense of familiarity with this forest. Once, I didn't even need Fang; I just instinctively found where Fred and George were hiding." Hagrid's expression became inexplicably dazed as he spoke.

Ginny, Ron, Draco didn't think anything was wrong.

But Harry inexplicably saw a scene in Hagrid —it was a full moon night, deep in the Forbidden Forest, where all sorts of Care of Magical Creatures lived together in harmony and were clearly preparing for some kind of performance. In the very center of the group of Care of Magical Creatures, a tall man whose face was obscured sat atop the head of a giant dragon.

"Stone Hagrid I, born of the Hagrid family's thunderstorm, Hercules, King of the Forbidden Forest Mentor in the Dark Forest, Controller of Giant Creatures, Mentor of the Mirkwood, Liberator, and Dragon Lord," Harry said, looking dazed.

He seemed to hear those strange and terrifying roars again and again. The forest behind him seemed to come alive, and invisible vines seemed to fly out of the forest and wrap around Hagrid, who was also in a daze at the moment.
