Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 192 Three-headed dog Lu Wei

   A few days ago, it had been raining, and the roads in the Forbidden Forest were muddy. Albert, who was following Hagrid, almost fell down several times.

   "Hagrid, wait a minute." After almost falling down again, Albert finally called Hagrid to stop, and under the puzzled eyes of the other party, he went to the side and trimmed a branch for himself.

   "What are you doing with that thing?" Hagrid asked. Afterwards, he understood what Albert wanted to do. Under the effect of Transfiguration, the branch was turned into a walking stick for pathfinding.

   "Now, I kind of understand why the adventurers in the novel all have a cane." Albert said to Hagrid with a smile.

   "You look like a little old man." Hagrid couldn't help joking.

   "No, no, this way has the taste of adventure." Albert didn't care about Hagrid's joke at all, and continued to walk behind him, while Fang ran around the two of them.

   The two of them walked a little further with a dog. They were already far away from the school, but Albert felt that he did not go deep into the Forbidden Forest, but walked around the periphery of the Forbidden Forest.

   Finally, the two stopped in front of a big oak tree. Albert saw a kennel for shelter from the rain on a higher ground, if it was really a kennel.

   "Lu Wei." Hagrid put down the iron bucket, folded his hands to his mouth, and shouted forward.

  When Hagrid called Lu Wei, Albert felt that he was being watched by something, and a low and immature bark suddenly came from the right.

   "Excuse me, Lu Wei is a bit shy." Hagrid signaled Albert to step back first, while he reached out to pick up the black shadow that was rushing towards him.

   It was a dog, to be precise, a dog with three heads, the three-headed dog Lu Wei. Isn't this the three-headed dog that Dumbledore used to protect the first level of the Philosopher's Stone?

  However, Lu Wei is still very small, about the size of a bulldog, held in Hagrid's arms like a baby, struggling desperately to break free from Hagrid's embrace.

  Lu Wei seemed wary of Albert, a stranger. Three heads and six eyes were all staring at him. If it weren't for the fact that it was still young, Albert felt that he might not be able to stand here so calmly.

   "Don't worry, he's Albert, my friend." Hagrid said in a coaxing tone.

   Albert stared at Lu Wei in Hagrid's hand, and asked with a twitching corner of his mouth, "Hagrid, is this your...dog?"

   "Lu Wei is more wary of unfamiliar smells." Hagrid held the three-headed dog tightly in his arms with his palm-like hands, holding it very tightly, preventing it from breaking free from his arms.

   "I know." Albert pushed back a few more steps, stretched out his hand and touched Fang Ya's head, and muttered, "Ya Ya is still cuter."

   "No, no, this little baby is also very cute." Hagrid hugged Lu Wei closer to Albert so that he could smell Albert's scent.

   "Little baby?" Albert felt his face twitching, "How old is it?"

   "Probably...about five months." Hagrid said uncertainly: "I bought it from a Greek guy in Hogsmeade's Hog's Head pub a month and a half ago."

   "I remember that the three-headed dog is a very rare magical animal." Albert raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"That's a smuggler." Hagrid was still a little angry when he talked about it. "Lu Wei looked very bad at that time, and he might die at any time, so the Greek guy didn't want to smash it on his hands, so he sold it to him at a cheaper price. me."

  The Ministry of Magic is still as unreliable as ever.

   "The Ministry of Magic is full of idiots." Hagrid said dissatisfiedly, "Even if they catch the smugglers, they will just deal with them."

   Albert suddenly asked: "Does Dumbledore know?"

  At this moment, Albert found that Hagrid suddenly became panicked.

   Oh, forget it, let’s bring this up later!

  Albert sighed, he had already seen the answer from Hagrid's expression.

   "Can I feed Lu Wei?" He changed the subject.

   "Oh, of course." Hagrid put down Lu Wei, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Lu Wei just smelled your scent."

   "Although you say that..." Albert stretched out his hand and grabbed his wand, he was still worried that Lu Wei would suddenly bite him. Although it was still very small, it was still uncomfortable to be bitten by a dog of this size.

Lu Wei was led by Hagrid, sniffing back and forth around Albert. Sometimes, one of the heads would show its teeth, but Hagrid slapped it on the head before reinstalling. It's divided.

   "Okay, sit down, sit down." Hagrid said to Lu Wei.

"Isn't Yaya afraid of Lu Wei?" Albert asked suspiciously. He fed the three-headed dog. What does it feel like to have three heads on a body?

   "They get along well." Hagrid explained, "Before school started, I kept Lu Wei in my hut, and I didn't keep him here until his body fully recovered."

  Although Hagrid tied Lu Wei with a very long vine.

   "Hagrid, can I pet it?" Albert turned his head and asked.

   "Well, it should be... no problem!" Hagrid said uncertainly.

   "You really can't reassure me like this." Albert resisted the desire to complain, and finally gave up the idea of ​​petting the three-headed dog.

  He just teased the little guy with his crutch, and after seeing the bite marks on it, he completely gave up the idea of ​​rubbing the three-headed dog's head.

   "Isn't it cute." Hagrid giggled.

   "Most animals are cuter when they are young." Albert did not deny that, if they didn't know how to bite, young three-headed dogs are actually pretty good, but...

"Hagrid, have you ever thought about it... I mean, what should Lu Wei do when he grows up?" Albert took out all the remaining dog food in his pocket and fed it to the three-headed dog, this little guy He seemed to like the appearance of this kind of biscuit very much. After Albert ate it, his eyes became a lot friendlier, at least not too guarded and hostile.

"this…"

"As far as I know, a three-headed dog can at least grow to the height of an average adult, and when it is fully grown, it can slap me on the ground and bite off my neck." Albert reminded kindly, "It only takes one at most. Years, it's not big enough for vines to trap."

"Don't worry, I won't let it appear at Hogwarts, and I can easily appease it." Hagrid patted his chest confidently, took out a very rough clarinet from his pocket, and put it on the Blowing the music, Lu Wei, who was still eating, actually started to feel sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

   "How did you do it." Although he knew that music could be used to make Lu Wei fall asleep, Albert, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, still felt incredible.

   "This is my secret." Hagrid smiled triumphantly: "It took me half a month to find this good method."

"Okay!" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued, "However, as far as I know, in Muggle Greek mythology, there is a three-headed dog named Cerberus. If you want to pass it , need to put it to sleep with music."

  Hagrid was swallowed by Albert's words, and he didn't expect Albert to say these words.

  In fact, the method of controlling the three-headed dog was indeed learned from the Greeks.

   "Is there really such a record in Muggle stories?"

"Yes." Albert said affirmatively, "However, this is not important, you still need to be careful, and I don't think Dumbledore will allow you to raise this thing. My suggestion to you is, wait until you get the road After Wei raised them, they were sent back to Greece, or they were raised in the depths of the Forbidden Forest."

   "This..." Hagrid's face was full of confusion.

   "Hagrid, I want to pet it." Albert interrupted Hagrid, "Can you play the clarinet to make it sleep."

   "Well, okay!" Hagrid nodded in agreement, and continued to play the clarinet. Lu Wei, who had just woken up, fell back into a drowsy sleep again.

  Albert stepped forward immediately, raised his hand and rubbed the three dog's heads, but unfortunately he didn't bring a camera, otherwise it would be nice to take a photo.

   "The brown hair of the three-headed dog is quite comfortable to the touch." Albert raised his hand and rubbed the heads of the three dogs in turn, still muttering in his mouth.

   "Albert also likes Lu Wei very much." Hagrid thought to himself when he saw this scene.

   Hagrid stopped playing the flute when Albert was satisfied. They left secretly while Lu Wei was still eating, Ya Ya looked at Lu Wei, then at Hagrid's leaving back, and quickly turned around and chased after him.
