Chapter 370: The Three-Headed Dog Guarding the Treasure
The corridor on the right side of the fourth floor of the castle that is closed to students is actually no different from the corridors elsewhere in the castle. It's just that because Headmaster Dumbledore forbade students to enter the opening dinner, it was completely unpopular and eerie.
"I don't think there's anything special here!" Truman followed with his friend, and closed the wooden door behind him with his backhand to prevent others from noticing someone breaking into the restricted area of the hallway.
As soon as the door closed, the view of the hallway became very dim.
"Why would Headmaster Dumbledore forbid other students from coming here?" asked a freckled boy next to Truman.
No one could understand that, according to Dumbledore, anyone who did not want to suffer an accident or a painful death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor, which is here.
Does that mean there will be something in this corridor that threatens their lives?
"There must be some secret. Fred had already pulled his wand out of his pocket, chanted a spell and lit the tip of his wand, and began to look around to figure out what the danger was.
The others also lit their wands and looked around vigilantly, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became solemn.
"Everybody knows there's a secret. The freckled boy next to Truman said angrily, "Why are all the senior students who came in just now?"
Lee Jordan quietly walked up to the freckled boy and whispered, "Perhaps, he has fallen into a trap and died unexpectedly." ”
Since the last time he braved Gryffindor's level, he had been quite calm about what he had encountered.
The freckled boy was startled by Li Jordan and almost screamed.
When he came back to his senses, his cheeks immediately flushed, and he glared at Lee Jordan.
"It's not fun at all. Truman couldn't help but reproach.
"Since Dumbledore said this is dangerous, you should be vigilant, I don't want to see you die unexpectedly in front of me. ”
Although the words were meant to intimidate them, Truman did not want any accidents to happen.
"Okay, let's stop making a fuss, let's look around, and we always feel that there will be unexpected surprises here. Albert put his hand on Lee Jordan's shoulder and motioned for him to stop joking with everyone.
"I didn't expect him to be so timid. ”
Fred and George couldn't help but laugh and stepped forward to look for the alleged danger.
Albert shook his head helplessly, and with a flick of his wand, the torches on the wall next to him were lit, and the originally dimly lit corridor was illuminated by the light of the torches.
There were no other classrooms on either side of the hallway, and as they walked along, they were in no danger, and they were greeted by a door at the end of the hallway.
Perhaps, the secret is hidden inside the door.
Just as everyone was about to go over to check the inside of the door, the wooden door was suddenly slammed open, and several senior students ran out of the door screaming.
The next moment, in full view of everyone, a monstrous dog squeezed out of the door, and one of its heads bit the leg of the senior student who ran last, and in the midst of the screams and exclamations of the people, ready to drag the unlucky man into the door.
To be honest, Albert was also taken aback by the size of the guy, who was big enough to fill the ceiling-to-floor space. Its three heads, its three pairs of dripping and turning vicious eyes, were all staring at the uninvited outsiders.
Soon, Lou Wei quickly came to his senses, and a deafening roar echoed through the hallway, and it was about to spread towards the crowd, causing everyone else to turn and flee screaming.
Albert narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his wand, and a ball of light exploded in the hallway, and as soon as Lowe let go of the bitten student, he immediately waved his wand and dragged the bitten hapless man back from the floor.
The student screamed in horror as he was dragged by magic on the marble floor, and when the three-headed dog came back to his senses, he found that his prey had been snatched.
However, Albert had erected a transparent magic shield between the two sides, and the three-headed dog slammed into the magic shield, looking angry, and scratched the invisible magic shield with his claws.
Albert had no doubt that the big man in front of him had forgotten about him, but he was completely sure that the unlucky guy he had just pulled back had fainted with fright.
"Hurry up, hurry up and drag the people away. Albert urged.
Most of the students who had entered the corridor had already run away, and Fred and the others who were still standing here seemed to be considering whether to use the stun charm on the big dog in front of them, but after hearing Albert's words, they decided to do what he said, and one person grabbed the student's shoulders and thighs to quickly carry the person away, and when Albert finally left the corridor, he closed the wooden door again.
Now they know why it's off-limits.
"You saved Crowne, thank God how you saved Clounn from that big dog. The first two students to run back turned back and almost cried with joy when they saw their friends who had been dragged away by the big dog.
"You have left your companions behind. The freckled boy next to Truman looked at them with disdain, as if he hadn't turned and fled at the first place.
"I know why Dumbledore didn't let people here, we almost got bitten to death by it. Both were a little embarrassed, and one of them said, clutching his chest.
"What the hell are they trying to do to lock such a monster in school!" Truman gasped and said with exasperation, he was clearly frightened just now.
"I slipped it all away. Fred pursed his lips disdainfully, looked at Albert and asked, "What about this guy, he seems to have fainted." ”
"You think everyone is not afraid of death like you. Someone muttered.
Albert didn't escape, and he rescued them.
"Alright, calm down man, take your friend to the school hospital first, he's bitten on the leg, hopefully Madam Pomfrey can heal him. Albert interrupted the argument of several men, and he had only now noticed who the man who had been bitten on the thigh was.
Crawn Puwit.
Well, the prefect who came up was the guy he met when he first came to Hogwarts in his first year.
It seems that the president of the student council was not elected this time.
"They are not Gryffindor students. Fred whispered.
"I know. ”
Albert had long noticed that all three were prefects.
Gryffindor's prefect, Ravenclaw's prefect, and Hufflepuff's prefect, none of the three were elected student council presidents, so why don't you come here for excitement?
"Driver, take the person to the school hospital. Fred said to Truman.
After Fred and the others carried the people away, Albert looked at the two of them who were not very good-looking and asked, "You used a spell on that three-headed dog, right?"
"The stun spell, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, it just shakes its head and wakes up. One of them was still a little apprehensive, but thanked Albert again for saving Crawn Prewitt.
That guy was actually because the queen tried to delay the three-headed dog, but because he didn't have the aura of the protagonist himself, he was almost bitten off his leg and even lost his life.
"Do you use a stun charm?" Albert asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We saw that the big dog seemed to be guarding something, and there was a trapdoor inside. The Ravenclaw boy suddenly said, "I'll bet ten Galleons that Headmaster Dumbledore must have hidden something valuable!"
"Probably, but our thin arms and legs aren't enough for lunch for that big dog. Albert didn't deny this, and walked towards the infirmary, turning back to the two of them before leaving, "Do you want to go together?"
