Chapter 192: The Three-Headed Dog Lu Wei
It had been raining the other day, and the roads in the Forbidden Forest were muddy, and Albert, who was following Hagrid, had almost fallen several times.
"Hagrid, wait a minute. After nearly falling down again, Albert finally stopped Hagrid, and under the bewildered gaze of the other man, he walked to the side and made a branch for himself.
"What are you doing with this?" Hagrid asked. Then, he understood what Albert wanted to do, and with the help of Transfiguration, the branch was turned into a crutch for pathfinding.
"Now, I kind of understand why adventurers have a cane in their hands. Albert said to Hagrid with a smile.
"You look like a little old man. Hagrid couldn't help but quip.
"No, no, that's the flavor of adventure. Albert didn't heed Hagrid's quip and continued to walk after him, Tooth running around the two of them.
The two of them walked a little further, they were already far from the school, but Albert felt that he was not going deep into the Forbidden Forest, but around the perimeter of the Forbidden Forest.
Finally, the two stopped in front of a large oak tree. Albert saw that there was a kennel for shelter from the rain on higher ground, if it was really a kennel.
"Love. Hagrid put down the bucket, folded his hands to his lips, and shouted forward.
As Hagrid called out to Louis, Albert felt himself being targeted, and a low, childish bark suddenly came from the right.
"Let's go, Lu Wei is a little scared. Hagrid motioned for Albert to step back first, and he reached out to scoop up the shadow that pounced on him.
It was a dog, a dog with three heads, a three-headed dog, to be exact. Isn't this the three-headed dog that Dumbledore used to protect the Philosopher's Stone in the first level?
However, Lowe is still very small, about the size of a pit bull, and is held in Hagrid's arms like a baby, desperately struggling to break free from Hagrid's arms.
Lowe seemed wary of Albert, the stranger. Three heads and six eyes were 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 childish tone.
Albert stared at Lou Wei in Hagrid's hand, and asked with a twitch in the corner of his mouth, "Hagrid, this is what you raised...... Dogs?"
"Lu Wei is wary of unfamiliar smells. Hagrid held the three-headed dog tightly in his arms with a fan-like hand, holding it tightly to prevent it from breaking free from his arms.
"I know. Albert took a few more steps back, reached out and touched Toothtooth's head, and muttered, "It's still cute." ”
"No, no, this little baby is cute too. Hagrid held Louwe closer to Albert so he could smell Albert.
"Little baby?" Albert felt his face twitch, "how old is it?"
"Probably...... About five months. Hagrid said uncertainly, "I bought it from a Greek guy in Hogsmeade's Hogsmeade a month and a half ago. ”
"I think the three-headed dog was a very rare magical animal. Albert asked with an eyebrow raised.
"That's a smuggler. Hagrid was a little angry about this, "At that time, Louwe looked terrible and could die at any moment, so the Greek guy didn't want to smash it in his hands, so he sold it to me at a cheaper price." ”
The Ministry of Magic is still as unreliable as ever.
"The Ministry of Magic is all rice buckets. Hagrid said dissatisfied, "Even if they catch the smugglers, they're just going to get rid of them all." ”
Albert suddenly asked, "Does Dumbledore know?"
At this moment, Albert noticed that Hagrid suddenly became panicked.
Alas, forget it, I'll talk about it later!
Albert sighed, he could already see the answer from Hagrid's expression.
"Can I feed Lowe on?" he digressed.
"Oh, of course. Hagrid put down Lowe and whispered to reassure, "Don't be nervous, Lowe just sniffs you." ”
"Even if you say that......" Albert reached out and tugged at his wand, he still stopped worrying that Louwe would suddenly bite him, and although it was still small, it was still uncomfortable to be bitten by such a large dog.
Louwe was led by Hagrid, sniffing around Albert, and sometimes one of the heads would make a tooth baring motion, only to be slapped on the back of Hagrid's head before it was resettled.
"Alright, sit down, sit down. Hagrid said to Lowe.
"Aren't Tooth Tooth afraid of Loe?" Albert asked suspiciously, he fed the three-headed dog, this guy looked quite safe when he ate, and the three heads ate three portions of beef each, but he didn't know what it was like to have three heads in one body.
"They get along well. "Before school started, I kept Louwe in my hut until he was fully recovered, and then I kept him here. ”
Hagrid used a long vine to tie up Louway.
"Hagrid, can I touch it?" Albert asked, turning his head.
"This, it should be...... No problem!" Hagrid said uncertainly.
"You can't reassure me like that. Albert resisted the urge to complain, and finally gave up the idea of petting the three-headed dog.
He just teased the little guy with his cane, looked at the bite marks on it, and completely gave up the idea of rubbing the head of the three-headed dog.
"Isn't it cute. Hagrid chuckled.
"Most of the animals are cute when they're small. Albert doesn't deny that a young three-headed dog is actually pretty good if it doesn't bite, but ......
"Hagrid, have you ever thought that it ...... I'm Guiding the Way what to do when he's older. Albert took out all the remaining dog food in his pocket and fed it to the three-headed dog, the little guy seemed to like the look of this little biscuit, and after Albert fed it, his eyes were much more friendly, at least not too guarded and hostile.
"This ......"
"As far as I know, the three-headed dog can grow to at least the height of an average adult, and when it is a complete adult, it can slap me on the ground and bite my neck. Albert kindly reminded, "It only takes a year at most, and it's not a vine to trap." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to let it show up at Hogwarts, and besides, I have a way to appease it easily. Hagrid confidently patted his chest, took out a rough recorder from his pocket, put it to his mouth and played the music, and Louwe, who was still eating, began to feel sleepy, and soon fell asleep.
"How did you do it. Although he knew that he could use music to make Lowe sleep, Albert felt incredible when he witnessed this scene.
"It's my secret. Hagrid smirked, "It took me half a month to find this good solution." ”
"Alright!" Albert continued, raising an eyebrow, "but, as far as I know, in Muggle Greek mythology, there was a three-headed dog of hell named Cerberus, and if you want to pass it, you need to put it to sleep with music. ”
Hagrid was swallowed by Albert's words, and he didn't expect Albert to say them.
In fact, the method of controlling the three-headed dog did come from the Greeks.
"Is there really such a record in Muggle stories?"
"Yes. Albert affirmed, "But it's not important, you still need to be careful, and I don't think Dumbledore will allow you to keep it." My advice to you is to send Luwe back to Greece when you raise him, or keep him in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. ”
"This ......," Hagrid's face was full of confusion.
"Hagrid, I want to touch it. Albert interrupted Hagrid, "Can you play the recorder and put it to sleep?" ”
"Well, alright!" Hagrid nodded in agreement, and continued to blow the recorder, and Louwe, who had just woken up, fell back to sleep.
Albert immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and rubbed the three dogs' heads, but unfortunately he didn't bring a camera, otherwise it would be good to take a picture.
"The three-headed dog's brown fur is quite pleasant to the touch. Albert raised his hand and rubbed the three dogs' heads in turn, still muttering quietly in his mouth.
Albert also liked Lowe. Hagrid thought to himself when he saw this.
When Albert was satisfied, Hagrid stopped playing the flute. They secretly left while Lou Wei was still eating, and Tooth looked at Lou Wei and then at Hagrid's departing back, and quickly turned around and chased after him.
