“海格一直想要一条龙，我第一次见到他时，他就对我这么说过。”哈利说道。
But it's against our laws, said Ron. Dragon breeding was outlawed by the Warlocks' Convention of 1709, everyone knows that.
“但这是犯法的，”罗恩说，“一七〇九年的巫师大会上，正式通过了禁止养龙的法案，这是每个人都知道的。
It's hard to stop Muggles from noticing us if we're keeping dragons in the back garden anyway, you can't tame dragons, it's dangerous.

You should see the burns Charlie's got off wild ones in Romania.

“当然有，”罗恩说道，“有普通威尔士绿龙和赫布里丁黑龙。
The Ministry of Magic has a job hushing them up, I can tell you.
我可以告诉你，魔法部有一项工作就是隐瞒这些野龙的存在。

我们的巫师不得不经常给那些看到野龙的麻瓜们念咒，使他们把这件事忘得一干二净。”
So what on earths Hagrid up to? said Hermione.
“那么海格到底想做什么呢？”赫敏说。
