Erwin nodded. "That's definitely right on the verge of hatching! Congratulations, Hagrid. You're going to have a little dragon of your own very soon. When you go back, check underneath the shell—there should be faint patterns forming there. Judging by the progress you described, the egg is about to hatch, which means there should only be one pattern left at the bottom. Once that pattern disappears, it'll hatch out! I'd say it won't be more than a week!"
"Is that so?" Hagrid said. "Goodness, Erwin, you're so knowledgeable! I'll take a look as soon as I get back. I'll come and tell you when it happens—I imagine you'd want to witness the hatching process yourself!"
Erwin smiled. "Of course! I'm looking forward to it."
