Chapter 466 The dog who likes music

"Who are you looking for, do you need my help?"

In the boys' dormitory of Gryffindor College, George, who was watching Fred and Lee Jordan playing cards, looked suspiciously at Albert who had been staring at the Marauder's Map since just now, and couldn't help asking.

George didn't know who he had been paying attention to after he found out that Albert had returned from Hagrid's cabin.

Actually, the three of them wanted to ask Albert when he would venture into the restricted area on the fourth floor.

Albert just asked them to wait for the time being. Fred and Lee Jordan both played several rounds of wizard cards, and they got a little impatient, especially since Albert didn't disclose any information to them.

"Being not!"

"Have you found out from Hagrid how to pass that big dog?" Lee Jordan casually picked up a topic and asked what the three cared most about.

If they can't subdue the big dog, they can't even pass the first level.

"That's a Greek three-headed dog." Albert said without raising his head: "In the Muggle Greek mythology system, there are detailed records on how to deal with three-headed dogs."

"Muggle records, are you sure that thing is reliable?" Fred couldn't help frowning, reminding: "You should know that the wizarding world is different from the Muggle world."

"I tried it when Hagrid started keeping the three-headed dog." Albert said calmly, "It really works, it can make the three-headed dog fall asleep."

"At the beginning, the monster that made a fuss in the Forbidden Forest was the big dog in the room at the end of the restricted corridor on the fourth floor?"

"Hagrid secretly raised it in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I remember you lied to us that the big dog was a watchdog raised by Professor Kettlebur in the Protection of Magical Creatures class." Lee Jordan complained with mocked anger.

"I don't remember saying that." Albert said calmly.

"Okay, who said that, Fred or George." Lee Jordan immediately turned his gun to the other two roommates.

"We remember you said it." Fred and George said in unison.

Actually, the three of them have already forgotten who said these words back then.

"What's the Muggle way?" Fred asked.

"You will know later."

Albert stared at the Marauder's Map, and the ink dot representing Hagrid was moving towards the periphery of Hogwarts. Hagrid was clearly going to Hogsmeade's Hog's Head pub, via the path that Hogwarts students used to take.

As for Professor Quirrell, he is still in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor.

Albert believed that after Hagrid left Hogwarts school, Quirrell would get the news soon, and followed Hagrid to leave the school to go to the Pig's Head Bar to implement his dragon egg lure plan.

In fact, Albert's judgment was quite accurate. Shortly after Hagrid left Hogwarts, the ink dot representing Quirrell also began to move. He had already walked out of his office, and was walking towards the outside of the castle under the cover of night. go.

"The person who got in the way, finally left!"

After watching the ink dot representing Quirrell disappear from the Marauder's Map, Albert couldn't help but took a deep breath, with a pleasant smile on his face.

At the same time, Quirrell, who had just left the range where apparitions are prohibited, suddenly stopped and looked back towards the direction of Hogwarts Castle. He always felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, but Quirrell didn't think much about it, and immediately Apparated left.

Albert put away the Marauder's Map, and under the delighted eyes of the three roommates, he began to organize the things he would use later.

He took out the music box he bought for Christmas from the shapeshifting lizard belt, stuffed it into his jacket pocket, and said to Fred, George, and Lee Jordan who were full of expectations: "Let's go to the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor, Our adventure begins."

"However, we need to act separately, so as not to attract the attention of others, we will meet again in the secret passage near the restricted corridor on the fourth floor."

"Is it finally about to start?" Fred happily put away the half-played wizard cards in his hand. Lee Jordan was a little dissatisfied with this, because he was about to win this round soon.

This is completely cheating!

However, Lee Jordan's dissatisfaction didn't last long, and he also put away the wizard card. Compared with playing wizard cards, the upcoming exciting adventure is obviously more interesting.

"Tom, stay in the room and don't run around. I'll come back later and I'll give you dried fish." Albert raised his hand and scratched Tom's chin, put it on the cushion next to him, and said to the three of them. : "Get ready, let's go!"

"We have already prepared." The three said in unison.

At this moment, near eight o'clock, the sky has completely darkened, and the library is about to close. If the four of them go out together, it will easily attract the attention of other students in the lounge, so the four of them leave in batches.

When Albert and Lee Jordan walked out of the lounge together, they happened to meet Percy who had just returned from the library. The Gryffindor prefect looked very tired.

In order to get excellent grades in the O.W.L exam, Percy is also working **** his homework.

Five minutes later, they came to the agreed secret passage on the fourth floor, joined Fred and George, opened the door secretly when no one was there, and sneaked into the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor.

After Fred closed the wooden door leading to the restricted corridor with his backhand, he asked Albert again, "How are you going to subdue that dog?"

"use this."

The four of them passed through the dark corridor and appeared at the end of the restricted corridor on the fourth floor. Albert took out the music box just now from his pocket, and copied several music boxes, and handed them to the other three.

At this moment, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all at a loss, not understanding what was going on?

Albert twisted the mainspring to make the music box make a crisp sound.

"The music box can only last about 20 to 30 seconds. Later, you take turns to loosen the winder to let the music continue. The three-headed dog will fall asleep when it hears the music." Albert arranged the order, then took out his wand, He knocked on the door lock and said in a low voice, "The Alahoo hole is open!"

There was a click, and the door lock opened.

Following the creaking sound of pushing the door, there was no low barking in the ears. The moment the music box sounded, the eyes of the big dog began to droop.

It wobbled a few times, and soon fell down on the floor, falling into a deep sleep.

"Open the trapdoor."

Albert began to direct the action of the three.

"Don't let the music stop, I don't want to be torn to pieces by it." Fred stared fiercely at Lee Jordan, who was in a trance. He vowed that if Lee Jordan lost the chain later, he would stay with the three heads. Dogs for company.

"Sorry." Lee Jordan muttered, apologizing for the mistake just now.

When they approached the three huge heads, they could feel a hot, smelly breath coming out of the big dog's mouth.

"I dare say Hagrid definitely didn't brush his teeth on time." George couldn't help complaining.

"George, don't forget." Albert reminded.

"knew."

"Fred, Lee Jordan, you use the Levitation Charm together, and move the three-headed dog aside, it is pressing down on the trap door." Albert directed his little partner to complete the task in an orderly manner.

After the body of the three-headed dog moved away from the trap door, Albert immediately bent down and pulled the pull ring on the trap door, and the door opened suddenly, revealing a dark hole below.

"What do you see?" Fred and Lee Jordan moved the three-headed dog aside, unwinding their clockwork, and let the music continue.

Lee Jordan's face was full of nervousness. The existence of the three-headed dog Lu Wei put him under too much pressure. It was definitely not safe to stay beside such a big dog.

"I can't see anything below, and there is no ladder to go down. We need to jump directly." Albert looked around the three and asked, "Who will go down first?"

"I can go down second," Fred muttered under his breath.

No way, the dark passage below really didn't give him much sense of security.

"George, you go down first, remember to put a shock-absorbing spell on yourself, I think you must have learned it, right!" Albert waved his wand, conjured a ball of light, and let it fall along the entrance of the hole, "Go on Fred down, Lee Jordan third."

"Okay." George gritted his teeth.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time, you don't have to worry about falling to your death if you know the Shock Absorbing Charm." Albert urged.

George looked down through the hole. The bottom was bottomless. He couldn't help but took a deep breath, and slowly slid down the hole. Finally, he only relied on ten fingers to cling to the edge of the hole at a frighteningly slow speed.

"Don't let the music stop." Albert threw another ball of light down and reminded loudly, "Otherwise you will be bitten by this thing, and you will be in bad luck."

Seeing that a few people were still procrastinating and not wanting to go down, Albert couldn't help but sighed, and didn't care whether George wanted to go down or not, so he said "See you later", and went down directly beside George.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all taken aback by Albert's swift action. Thinking of their actions just now, their cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

The three of them were reluctant to stay on it anymore, and there was a three-headed dog beside them, which made them feel less secure.

After Albert jumped down, George followed. Fred and Lee Jordan looked at each other and jumped down one after another. Only the music box on the ground was still making sound, but the sound of the music soon disappeared. It will stop, and the sleeping three-headed dog will eventually wake up again.
