Another Explanation of the Riddle

"Let's go to Hagrid's. I think he might be secretly raising dragons." This was Ron's response.

The three of them headed toward Hagrid's Hut at the edge of the Forbidden Forest without even eating.

It's not that they don't trust Hagrid.

It's not that I know him too well.

With Hagrid's current abilities, he could raise four or five dragons in the Forbidden Forest without being discovered.

Moreover, Hagrid has this prior record.

In addition, the four dragons used in the previous competition have been kept in the Forbidden Forest and will probably be kept until the end of the Second Task.

This could very well spark his desire to raise dragons.

Harry was very worried about this.

Although the Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau has begun to revise its work content—which involves dragon breeding qualification exams, opening dragon breeding farms, and researching dragons.

That's why Charlie returned to work in the US.

But none of this has been officially implemented yet.

Just like Charlie and his colleagues from the Romania dragon farm, they were still looking after the four fire dragons used in the competition.

Hagrid is inherently impatient when faced with what he considers adorable little creatures.

Harry suspects that Hagrid has resorted to his old tricks again and is secretly raising dragons.

Ginny, on the other hand, simply didn't want Harry and Ron to be alone together.

Even on the way to Hagrid's Hut.

Ron, at the end, simply wanted to get some Dragon Claw Powder from Hagrid.

He was the only one of the three who hoped Hagrid would raise dragons.

And so, the three of them, each with their own thoughts, arrived at Hagrid's place.

As soon as the door opened, Harry, ignoring the fact that Fang was licking his crotch all over, rushed over and licked him.

He asked directly, "Where's the fire dragon? Hagrid?"

"Haha! Harry, you know! I told you you'd find out before the end of the month!" Hagrid stroked his beard, beaming with pride.

"How could you do this! This is illegal!" Harry frowned.

Ron, however, grinned so wide his Delia were showing. "You're something else! Where's the Dragon Claw Powder? Or should I give the little dragons a manicure?"

Ginny sided with Harry, sighing, "Hagrid, oh Hagrid."

Hagrid, however, was completely baffled by the three people's words.

He rubbed the back of his head. "This is my job, a job I do in cooperation with the Ministry of Magic."

"How is this illegal? And Ron, I don't have any dragons here."

Harry and Ginny were stunned.

They immediately realized that the truth might be different from their guesses.

But Ron seemed oblivious, and instead became even more excited, "And he's an adult! That's even better!"

Bigger claws mean more flour ground up!

"What powder? You're not thinking of getting your hands on the Fire Dragon in the competition, are you?" Hagrid became serious.

"A competition? I mean the ones you raise," Ron said, puzzled.

Harry, who was standing nearby, belatedly realized and said, "Hagrid, didn't you secretly keep a dragon?"

Hagrid looked at Harry suspiciously. "You didn't guess?"

"What are you talking about?!" Ron suddenly felt like an outsider.

I was ostracized.

Of the three, he was the only one who knew nothing.

Hagrid and Harry ignored Ron.

Ginny was the same. She simply listened quietly.

Unlike Ron, she had already vaguely guessed the answer.

"How could that be! Harry, didn't you all already know that the second individual competition was about riding dragons? How come you didn't guess it?"

"We already guessed it. The riddle is about Veela."

"Since you guessed it—"

At that moment, Ginny spoke.

"Is this an implication?"

To solve the puzzle, you must bring the Fire Dragon Toy and fly at a high altitude.

Then they saw the fire dragon's tracks deliberately left undisguised in the Forbidden Forest.

They will come after you when you are unable to bypass Hagrid to enter the Forbidden Forest.

That's why you say it's the Ministry of Magic's job.

And for reasons Harry and we don't know...

It's because we solved the puzzle at night.

The dragons you commanded, Hagrid, will not create fires in the forest.

This caused us to overlook it.

In addition, we already knew that the mount for the competition was a fire dragon.

So I didn't pay much attention.

The first two sentences of this riddle are a double entendre, aren't they?

Besides its beauty, the enormous size of the fire dragon also makes it even more eye-catching.

No need to search.

And they are more agile in the sky.

In other words, 'the sky is our domain'.

But to conserve energy and rest, the fire dragon prefers to stay on the ground.

"Are you really a Weasley family?" Ron looked at Ginny with a complicated expression.

Someone this smart definitely isn't from the Weasley family!

The Weasley family should all be at my level!

Harry could only smile wryly at Ron's words.

He couldn't hear Ron's thoughts.

But from Ron's words, it felt utterly absurd.

After all, of the seven Weasley family children, only Ron was the one who was frequently suspected of not being one of them.

Now Ron has even taken the initiative to suspect Ginny.

Ginny simply rolled her eyes at this.

She already knew what her brother was like.

She even dreamed of being Kingsley.

Hagrid, who was standing nearby, also learned the whole story through their conversation.

"So, Harry, you really didn't guess that."

"Luckily, you found out by accident this time, otherwise you probably would have been the last one." Hagrid sighed.

"The last one? Does that mean the other Champion already know?" Harry asked.

Hagrid: "I'm afraid. You're actually second to last. The last one is Maxime's student."

"Wait, isn't your job just to receive the Champion and tell them they'll be riding fire dragons in the individual competition?" Ron asked quickly.

Hagrid waved his hand. "How could that be? If that were the case, what kind of job would that be?"

My job also includes taking charge of one other thing.

That is to arrange for each Champion to meet their fire dragon.

They will practice together before the individual competition begins.

You can agree on some commands with the dragon.

Harry clenched his right fist and waved it, appearing very excited. "This way, we can eliminate the Veela's influence!"

As expected, Veela affected the fire dragon!

During the competition, all we need to do is blindfold the fire dragon.

Guide them with instructions!

So, the sooner we guess the fire dragon and find Hagrid, the greater our advantage will be in the upcoming matches?

A sudden, utter silence fell over the small house.

Harry was no longer agitated.

This was all because of Hagrid's suddenly reddened eyes.

Am I really incapable of doing any job well?

I accidentally revealed the information again.

Veela affects the fire dragon.

There is also information that can be obtained by blindfolding the dragon and commanding it through instructions.

These are not allowed to be provided to Champion.

"I really—" Hagrid sobbed, "I trusted Quirrell so easily and told him the secret of Three-Headed Dog."

Ginny quickly reassured her, "We guessed it."

We already knew before you said that Veela was affecting the dragons.

"Isn't that right, Harry?"

Harry nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it."

Blindfolding the dragon and giving it instructions is a fairly standard method.

We could figure that out ourselves.

Even Ron patted his chest and said, "Actually, as soon as you mentioned getting the Champion and Fire Dragons to gel, I guessed this method!"

Hagrid, you're overthinking it!
