I Accidentally Missed Out on a Hundred Million

Busy times always fly by. Bell spends every day learning about magic and conducting magical experiments.

The day after the Easter Holiday ended, Hermione suddenly approached him, asking Bell to study with her, especially for A History of Magic and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Exams were coming up soon, and if they didn't start studying now, it would be too late.

"Hermione, if I remember correctly, our exams are at the end of June, right?"

"That's right."

"But it's only early April, right? There are still more than two months left, you don't need to be in such a hurry."

Although Bell didn't know what day it was today, it was definitely in April.

Looking at the Little Witch with a serious expression and a tense body, Bell felt that she was putting too much pressure on herself, which was not a good thing.

"The weather is nice today, and the temperature is very comfortable. How about we take a walk by Black Lake to relax?"

"No way! Bell, two months isn't a long time! It still feels like yesterday I arrived at Hogwarts, but it's already been more than half a year. So if you don't start studying now, you'll find that the exam is tomorrow and you haven't studied anything!"

Hermione stared at Bell seriously, clearly not intending to accept his offer.

"And you've never even attended A History of Magic or Defence Against the Dark Arts! If you want to get good grades on the finals, you need to start studying even earlier!"

After saying that, Hermione, without waiting for Bell to object, pulled him toward the Library.

Bell really wanted to say that even if he didn't study at all, he wouldn't need to worry about the exam, and he didn't care about his grades. However, in order not to upset the already tense Little Witch, Bell obediently kept quiet.

The first-grade curriculum was no challenge for Bell. But just like many middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s who can't do elementary school math problems, they hadn't been exposed to it for so long that they didn't know how to solve even very simple problems.

With that in mind, Bell thought it wouldn't hurt to review before the exam, at least he could save some brainpower during the written test. Whether he reviewed now or two months later didn't really matter. So Bell let Hermione drag him to the Library.

After reading for a while in the Library, a burly man, who was unusually large, sneaked into the Library.

In Hogwarts, the only ones with such a physique are undoubtedly the Key Manager and the hunting grounds keeper Rubeus Hagrid.

Bell had never met Hagrid. While he didn't dislike Hagrid's straightforwardness, he also disliked wasting time talking to people who weren't very bright. As for how he could know Hagrid wasn't bright if they'd never met, just look at him now.

Come on, Hagrid is about 3.5 meters tall! His head is almost touching the ceiling when he stands there. He's acting all sneaky right now, so is he trying to avoid being noticed, or is he trying to attract attention?

"Hagrid? What's he doing in the Library? And he's acting all sneaky. What's he up to?"

Hermione was clearly also drawn to Hagrid's attention. That's why Bell said he looked more suspicious.

Hermione and Hagrid weren't familiar with each other; after all, no one would dare approach a 3.5-meter-tall Giant casually, let alone a group of Little Wizard. After all, Troll are only that tall; what if they got eaten if they just got too close?

"Who knows? Who cares?"

Bell shrugged casually.

He had a vague recollection of this, but even after searching his memories with Legilimency, he couldn't find any related information.

Bell couldn't understand why this was happening. Logically, if he had an impression, it meant that he should have seen related content before, so using Legilimency should have allowed him to find the corresponding memories.

But Bell had searched through his memories of his past life several times, reviewing all the few memories he could find that were related to Harry Potter. Yet, he still often felt a subtle sense of familiarity with scenes that weren't in his memories.

Perhaps there are still many areas about memory that wizards have not yet explored.

If Bell had checked the titles of the books Hagrid had borrowed, he would have regretted his indifference.

Because all those books were about Fire Dragon, including "British and Irish Dragon Breeds", "From Egg to Inferno: A Dragon Keeper's Guide" and "The Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit".

Seeing these book titles, it's easy to imagine that Hagrid wants to raise a Fire Dragon, or even that he is raising Fire Dragon.

Keeping fire-breathing Fire Dragon as pets is illegal. Due to Fire Dragon dangerous and untamable nature, a law was officially passed at the Wizards' Council in 1709 prohibiting the keeping of fire-breathing Fire Dragon. Therefore, even though Bell already kept a Bi'an, Bi'an that was no less dangerous than Fire Dragon, he never considered keeping Fire Dragon.

However, this did not diminish his interest in Fire Dragon. Although his family had opened several dragon breeding farms in recent years, and Bell had seen or used many parts made from Fire Dragon, he had never seen a living Fire Dragon before.

If he knew Hagrid had a Fire Dragon egg, perhaps he could use some harmless tricks to get Fire Dragon hands on it and play with it?

As a China in my previous life, my love for dragons is beyond doubt, after all, I am Descendants of the Dragon.

Of course, at first, Bell looked down on these so-called Fire Dragon, thinking they were just winged lizards and were nothing compared to dragons.

However, after a detailed investigation of information about "dragons," Bell discovered that Western dragons and Eastern dragons may share a common ancestor— the Yinglong.

In China mythology, Yinglong is a winged primordial dragon god, also known as the "Ancestor Dragon." Yinglong's image is remarkably a combination of Western and Eastern dragons.

Therefore, Bell speculates that Yinglong was once a powerful and Magical Animals that existed in the East. Over time, perhaps influenced by the movement of continental plates, some Yinglong that migrated westward evolved into giant dragons, while Yinglong that remained in the East evolved into divine dragons. Later, in modern times, the giant dragons evolved into Fire Dragon, and the divine dragons evolved into Sea Serpent.

Being powerful does not necessarily mean being suitable for survival, because the more powerful a creature is, the fewer offspring it produces, and the longer its growth period. This can easily lead to the extinction of its lineage due to unforeseen circumstances.

Just like in nature, the most resilient and numerous species are always the small insects. On the other hand, some powerful animals, such as lions, tigers, elephants, and whales, are more likely to face the crisis of extinction.

Therefore, appropriately reducing the average strength of a species and finding a balance between strength and number is very important for the survival of the species.

Of course, all of this is just Bell's speculation, and only heaven knows the truth.

In any case, because of Bell's indifferent nature, he missed the opportunity to get an SSR... cough cough, that is, a rare Fire Dragon baby.
