Chapter 48: The House of Requests (Part 2)
On Saturday afternoon, William, Cedric, and Cho had to put down their homework and leave the castle for Hagrid's cabin.
The hut has changed dramatically, and the outside is reinforced with a fence like a labyrinth.
Hagrid, the soul painter, drew a map, and William followed the crooked stick figure several times before walking inside.
When William knocked on the door, there was a nervous struggle and three muffled barks.
Then came Hagrid's voice, "Back off, Lou Wei, back off!" ”
Hagrid opened the door open, revealing his large, bearded face.
"Wait a minute." He said, "Back off, Louwee. ”
Heghera opened the door and let the three of them in, desperately clutching the collar of a large black hound.
Hagrid's cottage had changed dramatically, with ham and pheasants hanging from the ceiling, all gone, replaced by a few thick books:
"Three-Headed Dog Breeds in Great Britain and Ireland", "Three-Headed Dogs – From Birth to Pregnancy to Death", "A Guide to Cutting Eggs for Three-Headed Dogs".
Aside from these books, nothing in the cabin is intact.
The big bed in the corner of the wall, all four legs were broken, the bed was laid on the ground, and there was a row of dog tooth marks on the broken wood.
The house was a mess, with shredded items everywhere.
Hagrid's hut was demolished by Louwi!
There was also a boy standing in the cabin, Charlie Weasley.
Charlie, like Hagrid, is interested in furry magical creatures, and he and Hagrid are good friends.
Hagrid moved five stools from the corner, and several of them sat down.
Qiu glanced around and asked, "Where's Yaya?" ”
Hagrid sighed and said, "I've put Tooth on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and he'd rather live there than go home!" ”
Lu Wei's body is already taller than his teeth, some time ago, it grabbed Lu Wei's snacks, and now it is afraid of retaliation.
Lu Wei is not only big, but also getting uglier and uglier, with three heads with open mouths and drooling, which looks particularly terrifying.
"Let it go, Hagrid." Cedric persuaded, "Let it go." ”
"I can't," Hagrid said aggrievedly, "it's only six months old, and it's still a child!" ”
“……”
Charlie said, "Hagrid, the three-headed dog grows very fast, and in less than a year it will be as tall as your cabin.
Don't forget, it's unclear if Professor Snape attacked the Ministry of Magic, but what if the Aurors come back and find your three-headed dog? ”
Hagrid looked at Lou Wei with tearful eyes, and Lou Wei's three heads were still tearing at the furry toys Hagrid had made for him.
"And where do we put it?" Hagrid finally relented.
"Forbidden Forest?" Cho proposed.
"Nope." Hagrid shook his head, "I asked the creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and the centaur tribe told me that if I put Lowe there, they would kill him!" ”
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the three-headed dog is very high when it becomes an adult, but it is still a scumbag of war.
It was actually very simple, just tell Dumbledore, but Hagrid didn't dare to tell the headmaster.
Although William suspected that Dumbledore had known about it for a long time.
"We can put Lowe in Hogwarts Castle." Charlie hesitated for a moment and said, "I know it grows quickly, as long as I survive this year, I will graduate."
During the summer vacation, I can take Luwe to Romania, where I'm ready to study dragons! ”
Everyone looked at Charlie in surprise.
Charlie is called a Quidditch genius by Professor McGonagall.
There is nothing wrong with saying this, Charlie joined the academy team for the first time in the second year, and he showed super talent.
In that year's final, he withstood the pressure and caught the Golden Snitch in just fifteen minutes, helping Gryffindor win the Quidditch Cup after a five-year absence.
Although he has not won the championship for four consecutive years, it does not affect his strength, it is just that his teammates are not strong!
Almost every wizard who has watched Charlie play thinks that after he graduates, he will definitely enter the national team.
There are even rumours that the England national team has made contact with Charlie.
However, he now says that he will go to Romania next year to study dragons...... This news is so shocking!
Charlie raised his hand and smiled, "Don't look at me like that, if you add this last year, I'll be playing Quidditch for six years."
I enjoyed the sport, but I was tired and wanted to find something else to take on an adventure that would stimulate my nerves. ”
Charlie stood up and touched Lu Wei's head, and Lu Wei immediately lay on the ground obediently, looking like a "licking dog" like a gentleman.
Charlie laughed and said, "I'm not the kind of wizard who is set in stone, I hate not being scared!"
Everybody thinks I'm going to be on the Quidditch team, and sometimes, when I'm alone at night, I think that...... But that kind of foreseeable future is really not what I want.
And I happened to be fond of magical creatures, so one day, I asked myself, why don't I study dragons?
It's that simple. ”
William and Cedric looked at Charlie in surprise, this kind of reckless wizard was really a natural Gryffindor.
Hagrid pursed his lips like Professor McGonagall, and after a moment he asked solemnly, "Did you talk to Arthur and Molly?" ”
Charlie was silent for a few seconds, nodded and said, "I told my dad, he asked me not to tell my mother for the time being, my dad said that he would find a chance......"
Hagrid sighed, "Yes, that's how your brother Bill suddenly decided to go to Egypt.
Such an excellent boy, he got 12 certificates in the O.W.Ls exam, and everyone thought he would enter the Ministry of Magic.
Molly was heartbroken by this, and this time you are the same, still far away in Romania. ”
The corners of Charlie's mouth barely pulled out a smile and said, "It's okay, my mother will definitely agree, it's not like I won't come back." “
Hagrid stopped talking.
Although he also likes all kinds of magical creatures, he cherishes the word home even more!
He loves dragons, but he won't persuade Charlie to go to Romania to study dragons. Because Hagrid would never leave Hogwarts for the sake of dragons.
This is his home!
Of course, Hagrid's usual practice is to bring those cuties home. (Fork waist)
After a moment of silence, Charlie pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't reveal this matter, especially George and Fred." ”
William, Cedric, and Cho all nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, let's not talk about me, let's talk about Lu Wei's problem first."
"Lu Wei definitely can't keep it here anymore, we need a very secluded place to keep Lu Wei.
And I happen to know a place called the Room of Requirement. ”
