Chapter 126: Headmaster Dumbledore
"Give it to you?" Hagrid was a little hesitant, he did love this huge and dangerous magical creature, and he was a little reluctant.
"Hagrid, you also know that the Three-Headed Hellhound can only be well trained by us in the Shafiq family, and you have already raised Lu Wei in your hands!" Charon tried his best to persuade him, and finally added chips: "If you want, my father can also give you a golden silk cow, you can ride it on patrol, it must be very handsome!" ”
Legend has it that Kui Niu is a mythical beast recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". It was like an ox, with one foot, no horns on its head, and it was pale in color. There was wind and rain, and the roar was like thunder, accompanied by the light of the sun and the moon.
In fact, it is just a magical creature, with all four limbs, but it likes to be lazy, and often sleeps standing on only one leg, and the other legs are curled up, and it is mistaken for only one leg. It has a loud voice and is a fast runner, and is often used as a mount in the East, and Charon's father, Aiagos, did have a way to get it, and it was supposed to be a gift for Charon's 11th birthday, but his mother Lisa was noisy and disagreed.
"Cow?" Hagrid was immediately interested, and he left the three-headed dog of hell behind. He had never succeeded in this magical creature from the East. Hagrid looked impatient: "Your father can get this kind of thing?" That's great! I've wanted it for a long time, and I'll say yes! If your father doesn't think it's enough, I can add something to change, everything in the house is fine! ”
Hagrid looked dressed in tatters, and his home was a mess, and he didn't seem to be wealthy. In fact he is very rich! Maybe Harry didn't think anything when they entered Hagrid's hut, but when someone who knew a little about the market entered Hagrid's hut, all they saw was gold galleons, because Hagrid's house was full of all kinds of goods that were popular on the black market.
For example, a unicorn's tail hair can be sold for 10 gold galleons on the black market, but what does Hagrid do with it? Actually using it as a bandage for bandaging, this is absolutely a tyrannical thing.
As you can imagine, if you were to exchange the Magical Beasts in Hagrid's hut for gold Galleons, it might be more than the money in Lestrange's vault.
What's more, Hagrid is particularly fond of raising animals with higher danger levels.
For example, Aragog, the eight-eyed spider. A pint of poison juice from the Eight-Eyed Spider can be sold for 100 gold Galleons. So, if one day Hagrid was too poor to have any money, he would say to his old buddy, "Hey, Aragog, lend me some poison juice?" "With Aragog's sheer size, it's absolutely fine to smoke 100 pints. If you want to put it on the black market and exchange it for money, how many gold galleons will it have to be!!
Of course, Hagrid keeps these animals purely because he loves them and will never exchange them for money, and he is a true expert in the protection of magical animals.
Hagrid and Charon immediately reached an agreement, and the three-headed dog of hell, Luwe, would be Caron's! Trained casually by Charon, Headmaster Dumbledore returned it directly to Charon.
Harry, Ron and Hermione were dumbfounded when they listened, such a terrifying three-headed hellhound, both of them actually wanted to use it as a pet, and in their words it seemed that Lowe was just a Staffordshire bulldog, it was so abnormal!
A few of them were not interested in the topic of Hagrid and Xia Yi in the slightest, and they found the topic of magical creatures boring, and began to ramble on other things, such as the annoying Filch administrator and his equally obnoxious cat named Lady Loris. Ron even suggested introducing the cat to Hagrid's teeth, but to be honest, if that vicious cat meets a timid and shy tooth, don't look at the fact that the tooth is ten times the size of the other party, it's hard to say who will clean up who will really fight!
Harry complained about Snape's lesson against him, and Hagrid finally heard it, stopped talking about magical creatures, and turned to reassure Harry not to worry, because Snape hardly liked any of his students.
Harry hung his head: "But he really seems to hate me." ”
"Nonsense!" Hagrid said, "Why should he hate you?"
But Harry always felt that Hagrid was deliberately avoiding his gaze when he said this.
"How's your brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron. "I like him a lot – he has a good way of animals."
Harry suspected Hagrid was deliberately diverting the subject.
As Ron spoke to Hagrid about Charlie's research on dragons, Harry spotted a small piece of paper pressed under the teapot heater, a clip cut out of the Daily Prophet. Gringotts break-in update: The investigation into the Gringotts break-in incident on July 31 is ongoing. It is generally believed that this was the work of unknown dark forces witches and witches. The goblins of Gringotts reaffirmed today that nothing had been stolen. The underground vault that had been searched by the intruders had in fact been emptied earlier in the day. A Gringotts leprechaun spokesman said this afternoon: "I have no comment on what is stored in the vault, so please do not interfere in this matter.
"Hagrid!" Harry said, "The day the Gringotts break-in happened to be my birthday. Probably we happened to be there when it happened!"
No doubt even Charon had noticed, and Hagrid really didn't dare to look Harry in the eye this time. He only snorted, and handed Harry another rock loaf.
Harry read the report again. The underground vault searched by the intruders had been drained earlier in the day. If taking the dirty bag meant withdrawing everything, then Hagrid had already taken out the 713 underground vault. Could that dirty little bag be the thing that the three-headed dog of hell is guarding by Luway?
As the group walked back to the castle for dinner, their pockets were heavily filled with rock crust cakes, and out of politeness they were embarrassed to refuse.
On the way, Harry was silent, thinking about the Gringotts robbery, thinking about Snape's disgust with him for no reason, why was that?
Hagrid was still quite neat, and it didn't take long for Charon to get an invitation from Headmaster Dumbledore.
The invitation was conveyed by Professor McGonagall, and at the end of the day's Transfiguration class, Charon was about to walk out of class when she was stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"Charon, stay for a while, I'll be looking for you for something." She said.
"Okay, Professor," Charon waited.
"Come with me, Charon, Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for you." Professor McGonagall packed up her things and went out with Charon. Charon silently followed the professor until he turned a corner and stopped in front of a huge, ugly stone monster.
"Chilled lemon juice!" She said. It was obviously a password, and the monster suddenly came to life and jumped aside, the wall behind it splitting in half. Although Charon had seen many magic mechanisms, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Behind the wall is a spiral staircase, which is slowly moving upwards, like an escalator. As soon as Charon and Professor McGonagall stepped on, they heard a rumble behind them and the wall closed again.
They spun higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally, feeling a little dizzy, Charon saw a gleaming oak door in front of them, surmounted by a brass doorring in the shape of a sphin-headed embogriff.
Charon knew where he had been taken, and this must have been where Dumbledore lived.
At the top, they stepped up the stone staircase, and Professor McGonagall knocked on a door. The door opened silently, and they entered. Professor McGonagall told Charon to wait, and left, leaving him alone.
Charon looked around, and it was a spacious, beautiful circular room, filled with all sorts of funny little sounds. On the table with slender legs, there were many strange silverwares, spinning and belching small puffs of smoke.
The walls are covered with portraits of the old headmasters, all of whom are snoring softly in their frames. There is also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs. On a shelf behind the desk, there was a tattered, crumpled wizard's hat, the Sorting Hat.
Charon stared at it, and suddenly a strange chirping sound came from behind him, and he jerked around.
On a high gilded perch behind the door, there stood a radiant flaming bird, with golden light reflected on the flaming red feathers, and the long tail feathers were particularly eye-catching, could this be the legendary phoenix?
Charon knew that the phoenix in the west was actually called an immortal bird, which was not exactly the same as the phoenix in the east, and the quality was much worse, but it was also an extremely magical magical creature.
Charon stared at it, and the bird looked at him with a wary gaze, and at the same time made that wary sound, obviously disliking Charon's breath.
"Don't worry, it won't attack you!" Suddenly, a deep and loud voice came from behind him.
Startled, Charon quickly turned his head, only to find Headmaster Dumbledore standing behind him.
"Professor, you ......" Charon's thoughts were revealed, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"I'm sorry, I just saw that your demeanor was very interesting, and I couldn't help but use my mind reading technique." Dumbledore explained with a smile.
Charon, of course, didn't dare to complain about anything, and laughed.
"Don't worry, your mental strength is beyond expectations, if you weren't completely defenseless, my mind reading technique wouldn't be so easy to take effect." Dumbledore seemed to see Xia Yi's thoughts, and explained with a grin.
"Cut, and said, my thoughts were read again." Charon did not dare to complain, and only tried to strengthen the protection of his consciousness.
"Haha, you're too worried, you know what you're thinking from the look on your face." Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Charon, who was cowering like a quail.
Charon looked at Headmaster Dumbledore, who was serious on the surface but stubborn on the inside, with resentful eyes.
Dumbledore gestured to a chair next to Charon's lap, and he gestured for him to sit down, "Mr. Charon, in fact, if you weren't too busy, I'd be looking for a chance to meet you." It's been a long time since Hogwarts had a student from House Shafiq! ”
