Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Little Prank from Love
It was normal for Harry and them to be frightened into losing their ability to think, because behind that door was a huge dog that filled the entire space from ceiling to floor. What's even more terrifying is that it has three heads, three pairs of dripping eyes that shine fiercely, and saliva hanging from the yellowed dog's teeth is like a slimy rope, hanging all the way to the ground.
Who can keep their composure in the face of such a vicious dog from hell?
Just as Harry was about to break out of the door, he heard Love's words, and he turned his head to look at Love like a stiff puppet, and asked in a voice trembling so that he himself felt unfamiliar, "Love, do you know it?" β
"Of course, I've fed it, good, Luwe, sit!"
Luwe: ......
Please, can you please not tear down my table? It makes my job hard!
The three-headed dog was depressed, and Hagrid had told him to keep an eye on the door and give a little "surprise" to anyone trying to break in, but he had also told himself that if the intruder was a Hogwarts student, it would be good to scare them away.
At the moment, these four people are obviously the latter, and Lu Wei intends to scare them and scare them away. So it deliberately widened its eyes and opened its mouth in order to scare the children away, and as a result, Love made such a play that it directly destroyed the atmosphere it had worked so hard to create.
Seeing that the intimidation strategy was bankrupt, Lu Wei could only sit down obediently and glanced at Love with resentful eyes.
Love didn't disturb Lu Wei's consciousness of work, he took two steps forward, walked to Lu Wei's side, smiled and touched the dog's head.
While smoothing Lu Wei's hair, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of his mouth for him.
"How did you end up here?"
Luwe: ......
It's top secret! I'd like to ask why you're here!
Seeing that Lou Wei ignored him, Love didn't continue to ask him. He now suddenly realized that this was most likely the hallway to the right of the fourth floor that Dumbledore had spoken. Don't look at how easy you are, if it's a stranger who breaks into here, I'm afraid you're really worried about your life.
Seeing Love's attitude of not leaving, Lou Wei also became impatient: if the others found out that he had not fulfilled his duties, how could he explain to Hagrid?
"Woo, woo!"
Love understood what Lou Wei meant, and he felt that they really should leave, and if they didn't, it wouldn't be able to care about the old people.
"Okay~" Love comforted Lu Wei and told him not to be in such a hurry, and by the way, he shared his distress of getting lost with the big dog.
Love: ?
It had just been sent into the castle, and it was locked in this corridor as soon as it entered, and it hadn't seen as many places as these little wizards! You asked me for directions, did you make a mistake?
Seeing the three-headed dog's unbelievable appearance, Love also understood that everyone had been deceived by the portrait. When Love broke the news to everyone, everyone fell silent.
Who would have thought that the portrait of the school would be deceiving? That rabbit was a lesson for these young wizards who were not deeply involved in the world.
But now that they know they're on the fourth floor, it's much easier to find their way back.
They first turned back the same way and returned to the portrait of the rabbit, perhaps because of their weak hearts, when they returned, the rabbit had already run away without a trace.
But Love wasn't a magnanimous old manβif he didn't know Lowe, he'd have had a lot of fun tonight! For this kind of guy who loves to lie, Love thinks he should punch hard.
The trouble is that the portrait of the damn rabbit is the property of the school, and there are endless problems after destroying it at will, so Love thought of a unique way to punish it.
He tiptoed and grasped the frame of the portrait, shaking it for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the painting was not glued to the wall, it was hung.
Now his plan could be carried out, and he took the painting down.
"What are you going to do?" Love's behavior attracted the attention of the others, who leaned over.
"Punish this bad boy for lying."
Hearing that Love was going to take revenge on the rabbit, everyone came to their senses.
"This damn rabbit almost killed us, or should we throw it in the toilet?" The thought of that terrible three-headed dog made Ron angry, and he wanted to burn the painting on fire, but soaking the toilet bowl was already a very merciful measure.
"There's no need." Love snapped the painting upside down on the floor, dismantled the back panel of the frame, and turned the painting inside so that it was facing outward. So that even if the lying rabbit returned, he could only stare at the black plank.
"Think about it." Love rearranged the frame and put it back in its place. As for when everyone will find out that this painting has been reversed, it is difficult to say.
Filch may have found it the next day, or it may not have been discovered until Love graduated - a blank piece of paper could be some kind of avant-garde artistic expression, a symbol of purity, infinite imagination or something.
It took a lot of effort for the four of them to finally find their way back to the lounge.
On the way, Hermione couldn't contain her curiosity and took the initiative to ask Love about Love. She wondered how he had known the three-headed dog.
"Social." Love plays the Riddler. He didn't want the news of Hagrid's three-headed dog spreading everywhere.
Hermione pursed her lips, slightly displeased.
"I really don't understand why they have such a thing in school." Ron still had a lingering heart when he remembered how Lowe looked.
Hermione, who had eaten a closed door at Love's, said angrily, "Are your eyes ornamental?" It's standing on a trapdoor, and it's clearly guarding something! β
Ron was stunned for a moment, he really didn't notice this small detail.
Harry on the side was thoughtful, he felt that when he went to Gringotts with Hagrid to collect the money before, the package that Hagrid had helped Dumbledore pick up had already been found.
β¦β¦
After this unexpected adventure, Love's life is back on track. Soon, the first Potions lesson of his life will come.
On Friday, Harry had good news and bad news.
The good news was that Hagrid invited him to his house, and the bad news was that the schedule showed that he was going to take Potions class with the Slytherin students, or two sessions!
This made Harry worry as he ate breakfast.
"I think we can find a corner that doesn't stand so out." Ron said hopelessly.
If it were replaced by other young wizards, this method was still feasible, but it could be put on Harry, which was very whimsical. Wherever he hides, he will be the center of attention. In the previous Charms class, Professor Flitwick had even dropped off the book on his feet in excitement when he clicked on Harry's name.
Ron could only pray that there wouldn't be too many moths in Potions class.
