----------------------------------------------------

Alex carefully explains to Hagrid that they obtained a bunch of [Thornback Eggs], then slowly takes out his [Royal Thornback Matriarch (Mutated) Egg], holding it softly and carefully, strangely possessive of it.

Hagrid inspects the eggs, including those of Rishi and Tereza, nodding in approval. "Fine-looking Thornback eggs you've got. I like those good old Thornbacks quite a lot—misunderstood creatures, the lot! Surely you don't need these eggs, right? I'll offer you some contribution points for them. These 15 eggs are all good quality; I'll give you 400 contribution points for each."

Rishi looks at Alex and Tereza, who just shrugs before saying, "Sure, take them and give the points to Tereza."

A notification pops up, Tereza has earned 6,000 contribution points, which is quite the fortune.

"Ah, and yer got one more egg," Hagrid says, eyeing the one in Alex's hands. "I'm taking that one as well, of course."

"Sorry, Hagrid, you can inspect it, but I'm not handing it over." Alex tightens his grip slightly. "The Matriarch of the Thornbacks willingly gave me this egg. It's clearly special, and that's what I wanted to talk to you about—I want to raise it."

"No way, lad! Yer got a Royal egg? That's a future Matriarch, and you want to raise it?" Hagrid whistles. "That's quite a dangerous beast... Although, when I was young, I raised an Acromantula, so I guess at your age, with your skills, you should be fine!"

What a damn irresponsible guy. Doesn't matter if it's an Acromantula or a Thornback Matriarch, these are lethal beasts, capable of killing nearly anything and raising a damn army of killer spiders! Well, whatever... in this case, his lack of common sense is actually helping me.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. Do you have any tips for me?" Alex asks with interest.

Hagrid leads them into his hut and pulls out a few ancient-looking books and begins to search for the information Alex requested.

"Looks like normal Thornback eggs actually need warmth, the same should apply for yours as well. You have to keep them inside, though I'm not sure if that applies to yer special egg. But normal ones should be similar," Hagrid says, flipping through the pages.

He also talks about humidity, even recommending that Alex stroke the egg, sleep with it, kiss it, lick it, and talk to it.

Is that really necessary?

"Yer looking at me like I'm crazy, lad." Hagrid chuckles. "These lil' buggers need to recognize you as their kin! Trust me, this ain't just a game. Do it if you want to raise 'em properly—so they won't betray you. They'll recognize you the moment they hatch. Hell, they start recognizing you even inside the egg. Maybe even consider applying your own blood on top of the egg, it'll help"

Now that he mentions it... Aragog refused to attack or even harm Hagrid. Just hearing his name was enough to make him hesitate when Harry and Ron were in danger. Maybe it's true. I might as well try it... even though this still creeps me out a little.
