Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 274 Where is Lu Wei

  The Forbidden Forest is huge, but dogs are hard to find.

  Albert and Hagrid have been walking in the Forbidden Forest for more than ten minutes, but they still haven't found any clues. To put it bluntly, it was just wandering around in the Forbidden Forest.

   "Hagrid, do you have any plans?" Albert felt that Hagrid, the client, must have been dizzy from anxiety, had no time to think, and neglected many things, so he sounded a reminder.

  Albert didn't want to hang out with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest. Although he felt that he was lucky, it always felt unreliable to rely on luck to do things.

"This..." Hearing this, Hagrid pulled out several strands of his long beard, but he still couldn't regain his composure, "I don't have time to think about this, and I'm not good at using my brain, so I'm going to go to the Forbidden Forest to find Look, maybe you can find the trace left by Lu Wei."

   Sure enough, there is no plan, and you are going to look around and try your luck?

Albert couldn't help but sighed in his heart, stopped and looked at Hagrid helplessly and said, "It's all luck to find it this way. If you're lucky, you'll find it later. If you're not lucky, you won't be able to find it in ten days and a half months." arrive."

  Hagrid was silent, and said to Albert: "My mind is in a mess now, I know you are smart, tell me what should I do now?"

   "This..." Albert asked tentatively, "How did you find things before?"

"Wandering around in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid looked a little embarrassed, "I'm familiar with the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, but...it will take a lot of time, and I'm worried that Lu Wei will run around and hurt Hogwarts student."

   "Concerned about chaos." Albert sighed, raised **** and said, "There are two ways. First, ask the residents here. You should know the residents in the Forbidden Forest, right?"

   "Resident, resident?" Hagrid asked Albert a little confused, "Are you referring to the centaur?"

"Not only the centaurs, but also other magical animals." Albert reminded Hagrid, "The three-headed dog is a very dangerous magical animal. Without your feeding, it needs to hunt to fill its stomach. It is forbidden The outskirts of the forest are definitely top predators, and most animals have a specific range of activities. Of course, it would be even better if the centaurs could provide useful information.”

  Hagrid immediately understood that the three-headed dog was running around in the Forbidden Forest, but it always needed to fill its stomach, which meant that Lu Wei would be attracted by the hunting grounds with abundant prey.

   This was also one of Hagrid's original concerns, what if Lu Wei attacked the students hungry.

  There are not many animals in the Forbidden Forest in winter.

   "Let's look for Lu Wei in a few nearby places where animals are dense." Hagrid led the way ahead. He was very familiar with the Forbidden Forest and knew where to find animals in winter.

   "The second method is Felicia Felicia." Albert saw Hagrid reacting, and said as he walked behind.

   "What is that?" Hagrid had never heard of Felix Elixir, and he might not have as much magical knowledge as Albert.

"It's the lucky potion, the magic potion that will improve your luck if you drink it. I still have some lucky potion. If you really can't find Lu Wei, you can use it to try your luck." Albert explained casually, " Of course, it may not be successful.”

   Hagrid let go, feeling that it would be great to have a reliable helper. At least, he wasn't alone worrying blindly.

   At first, Hagrid left food in the place where Lu Wei was kept captive, and went to check it every day. Although the food had traces of being bitten, it was not Lu Wei who did it.

The two walked on the snow for a while, Hagrid pointed to the traces on the ground and said: "There is a beast trail here. Occasionally, deer or other animals will pass by. However, most animals will drink in the nearby river in winter." The water, where there are springs, won’t freeze completely in winter.”

   When we arrived at the river, we did find many traces of animal activities, but we still haven't found the footprints left by Lu Wei.

"Let's continue to go up. The location of the spring is near the range of the horse people. Let's go to see if the horse people have seen Lu Wei. It's hard to hide what happened in the Forbidden Forest from the horse people." Albert reminded Afterwards, Hagrid began to quickly enter the state.

  Although it is also very unreliable to do so, Albert can't think of a better way.

   "Wait, Hagrid, let me try the Flying Charm." Albert suddenly thought of something, so he raised his wand and cast a spell towards the surrounding forest.

   "Lu Wei is here."

  The Flying Curse is also effective on living creatures. Albert thinks that the magic power is already very strong. Maybe if he is lucky enough, the three-headed dog will fly back by itself.

  This is the ideal situation.

   Of course, the reality is quite cruel.

Failed.

  However, if you think about it, a magical creature like a three-headed dog is probably very resistant to magic. Unless Albert used the Elder Wand to cast a spell, he didn't expect it to be successful. He just wanted to try to see if he could make some noise. If he was lucky enough, he might succeed.

  Hagrid looked at Albert who cast the spell, and then at the surrounding woods, feeling a little disappointed.

   "Hagrid, can you use the Flying Charm? Do you want to try using the Flying Charm to summon something on Lu Wei's body." Albert thought for a while and said, "I mean something like a dog ring."

   "No, you know, Lu Wei grew up too fast, I didn't put a dog on him." Hagrid was a little embarrassed.

   Albert found that he was speechless. The three-headed dog in the growing period did grow very fast.

  The two continued to walk upstream along the river and entered the range of activities of the centaur.

   Before he had time to go far, he heard some noises coming from his side, so he raised his bow and aimed at the direction of the sound, and asked aloud, "Who is where? Come out."

"It's me, Hagrid." The brown-red centaur walked out of the woods, his eyes swept over Hagrid, landed on Albert, and then looked at Hagrid again and said, "You shouldn't bring The colt came here."

   "Ronan, have you ever seen a three-headed dog?" Hagrid asked his centaur friend expectantly.

  The brown-red centaur didn't reply, but looked at Albert again, and asked softly, "Have we met?"

   "Yes, last night, thank you for your help."

   "Ronan." Hagrid repeated, with a little dissatisfaction in his voice, no one likes to be ignored, and Hagrid is no exception.

"Yes, Hagrid, a three-headed dog. It is not very friendly. It seems to be hungry. The patrolling centaur drove it away with arrows. You can try your luck over there." Ronan raised his finger and pointed One direction, that was the direction Albert and Hagrid had just come from.

  Hagrid glanced at the direction Ronan raised his finger, and fell into a brief silence.

   "You are half the owners here, if you can help Hagrid find his little pet, I don't think you should...!" Albert tried to ask the centaur for help.

  Before Albert finished speaking, Hagrid gave him a push, signaling that it was time to leave.

  Albert looked at Hagrid with a strange expression, but quickly shut up.

   "Goodbye Ronan, thank you for the information!" Hagrid said goodbye to the centaur.

"The centaurs won't help." After Hagrid took Albert far enough, he said: "The centaurs are all like that, don't expect them to be of much help, let's go, let's keep looking. I have a hunch that Lu Wei might be found today."

  It's useless for you to have a hunch.

   Albert couldn't help complaining, he felt that if Hagrid had told Dumbledore the truth, he might have found his little pet.

   "By the way, Hagrid. Do the centaurs have a wide range of activities?" Albert remembered something and asked curiously.

   "Yes, the range is very wide." Hagrid reminded, "You need to be very careful when dealing with them. Most centaurs don't like wizards very much."
