Chapter 274: Where is Lu Wei

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

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

"Hagrid, do you have any plans?" Albert felt that Hagrid, the client, was probably dizzy and didn't have time to use his brain to think, so he ignored many things, so he reminded him.

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

"This ......" Hagrid pulled off his long beard several times when he heard this, and he 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 look for it first, maybe I can find the traces left by Lu Wei." ”

Sure enough, I didn't have a plan, and I was ready to look around and try my luck?

Albert couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stopped and looked at Hagrid helplessly and said: "It's all a matter of luck to find it this way, if you're lucky, you'll be able to find it later, if you're unlucky, you won't be able to find it for ten days and half a month." ”

Hagrid was silent and said to Albert, "I'm in a mess right now, I know you're smart, tell me what to do now?"

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

"Wandering around in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's face was a little embarrassed, "I'm familiar with the periphery of the Forbidden Forest, but ...... It would take a lot of time, and I was worried that Lowe would run around and hurt the students at Hogwarts. ”

"If you care, you're messy. Albert sighed, held up two fingers, and said, "There are two ways. First, ask the people who live here, you know the inhabitants of the Forbidden Forest, right?"

"Resident, resident?" Hagrid asked Albert, a little confused, "do you mean centaurs?"

"It's not just centaurs, it's other magical beasts as well. Albert reminded Hagrid, "The three-headed dog is a dangerous magical animal. Without your feeding, it needs to hunt to fill its belly. It is definitely an apex predator on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and most of the animals have a specific range of movement. Of course, it would be better if the centaurs could provide useful intelligence. ”

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

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

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

"We first went to a few places in the neighborhood where there were a lot of animals, looking for Luwei. Hagrid led the way, he knew the Forbidden Forest well and knew where to find animals in winter.

"The second method is the Elixir. Albert saw Hagrid's reaction and said as he walked behind him.

"What's that?" Hagrid hadn't heard of elixirs, and he didn't necessarily have as much magical knowledge as Albert.

"It's the luck potion, the magic potion that will get better if you drink it, and I still have a little luck potion, if you really can't find Lu Wei, you can use it to try your luck. Albert casually explained, "Of course, it doesn't always work out. ”

Hagrid was relieved, thinking it would be nice to have a reliable helper. At least, he wasn't alone in worrying.

At first, Hagrid left food in the place where he had been kept in captivity, and would go over to check it every day, although the food showed signs of being bitten, but it was not Luwei's doing.

The two walked on the snow for a while, and Hagrid pointed to the marks on the ground and said, "There's a beast path here." Occasionally, fawns or other animals will pass by. However, most of the animals drink water in the nearby river in winter, where there are springs and do not freeze completely in winter. ”

When we arrived at the river, we did find many traces of animal activity, but still no footprints were found.

"We continued to walk up, the location of the spring was near the range of the centaurs, we went over to see if the centaurs had seen Luwe, what happened in the Forbidden Forest was difficult to hide from the centaurs. After receiving Albert's reminder, Hagrid began to get into shape quickly.

It was also unreliable, but Albert couldn't think of a better way.

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

"Lowe flies. ”

The Flying Charm works just as well on living creatures, and Albert thinks that his magic is already strong, and that if he's lucky, the three-headed dog will fly back on his own.

This is the ideal situation.

Of course, the reality is quite harsh.

Failed.

However, think about it, with a magical creature like a three-headed dog, it is estimated that it is very resistant to magic. Unless Albert uses the Elder Wand to cast a spell, he doesn't expect to succeed, he just wants to see if he can make some movement, and if he's lucky, he might be able to succeed.

Hagrid looked at Albert who was casting the spell, and then at the surrounding woods, slightly disappointed.

"Hagrid, do you know how to use the Flying Charm? Albert thought for a moment and said, "I mean dog pens and stuff like that." ”

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

Albert found himself speechless, the three-headed dog in the growth period did grow quickly.

The two continued upstream along the river and entered the range of the centaurs.

Before he had time to go far, he heard some noise from his side, so he raised his bow and aimed in the direction from which the sound came, and asked in a loud voice, "Who is where?" ”

"It's me Hagrid. The brown-red centaur came out of the woods, his gaze swept over Hagrid, landed on Albert, and then looked back at Hagrid and said, "You shouldn't have come here with a foal." ”

"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, "We've met?"

"Yes, go to Chinese New Year's Eve, thank you for your help. ”

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

"Yes, Hagrid, a three-headed dog, it's not very friendly, it seems to be hungry, the patrolling centaurs have chased it away with arrows, you can try your luck over there. Ronan raised his hand and pointed in a direction, the direction Albert and Hagrid had just come from.

Hagrid glanced in the direction of Ronan's finger and fell into a brief silence.

"You're half the owner here, and I don't think you ...... if you can help Hagrid find his pet!" Albert tried to ask the centaur for help.

Before Albert could finish his sentence, Hagrid pushed him and signaled that it was time to go.

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

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

"The centaurs won't help. Waiting for Hagrid to take Albert far enough, he spoke: "Centaurs are like that, don't expect them to help much, let's go, let's continue to search, I have a hunch that I may be able to find Lowe today." ”

It's useless for you to have a hunch.

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

"That's right, Hagrid. Do centaurs have a wide range of activities?" Albert asked curiously, remembering something.

"Yes, it's wide. Hagrid reminded, "You need to be very careful when dealing with them, most centaurs don't like wizards very much. ”
