Chapter 192： Three-headed dog Luwei

Chapter 192 Three-Headed Dog Lu Wei

A few days ago, it had been raining and the roads in the Forbidden Forest were muddy. Albert, who was following Hagrid, almost fell down several times.

"Hagrid, wait a moment." After almost falling down again, Albert finally called Hagrid to stop. Under the puzzled look of the other party, he walked to the side and trimmed a branch for himself.

 “What are you doing with this thing?” Hagrid asked. Then, he understood what Albert wanted to do. Under the influence of transformation, the branch was turned into a crutch for exploring the path.

“Now, I kind of understand why the adventurers in the novel all have a cane.” Albert said to Hagrid with a smile.

 “You look like a little old man like this.” Hagrid couldn't help but joke.

"No, no, this way it gives the flavor of adventure." Albert didn't care at all about Hagrid's teasing and continued to walk forward behind him, with Yaya running around the two of them.

The two of them and the dog walked forward for a while. They were already far away from the school, but Albert felt that he did not go deep into the Forbidden Forest, but walked around the periphery of the Forbidden Forest.

 Finally, the two stopped in front of a large oak tree. Albert saw a doghouse on a higher ground for shelter from the rain, if it was really a doghouse.

“Lu Wei.” Hagrid put down the iron bucket, put his hands together to his mouth, and shouted forward.

When Hagrid called out Lu Wei, Albert felt that he was being stared at by something, and a low and childish bark suddenly came from the right.

 “Give me a moment, Lu Wei is a little shy.” Hagrid signaled Albert to step back first, while he reached out to pick up the black figure that was coming towards him.

That was a dog, to be precise, a dog with three heads, the three-headed dog Luwei. Isn't this the three-headed dog that Dumbledore used to protect the Philosopher's Stone in the first level?

However, Lu Wei is still very small now, about the size of a bulldog. He is held in Hagrid's arms like a baby, struggling desperately to get out of Hagrid's arms.

 Lu Wei seemed to be wary of the stranger Albert. Three heads and six eyes were staring at him. If it hadn't been for him being so young, Albert felt that he might not be able to stand here so calmly.

"Don't worry, he is Albert, my friend." Hagrid said in a coaxing tone.

Albert stared at Lu Wei in Hagrid's hand and asked with twitching lips: "Hagrid, is this the... dog you raised?"

“Lu Wei is more wary of unfamiliar smells.” Hagrid held the three-headed dog tightly in his arms with his palm-like hands, holding him tightly to prevent it from breaking away from his arms.

"I know." Albert pushed back a few steps, reached out and touched Yaya's head, and muttered, "Ya is still cuter."

"No, no, this little baby is very cute too." Hagrid held Lu Wei closer to Albert so that he could smell Albert's scent.

"Baby?" Albert felt his face twitching, "How old is it?"

"About... about five months." Hagrid said uncertainly: "I bought it from a Greek guy in the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade a month and a half ago."

"I remember that three-headed dogs are very rare magical animals." Albert raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That's a smuggler." Hagrid was still a little angry when he talked about it. "At that time, Lu Wei looked very bad and might die at any time, so the Greek guy didn't want to lose his money, so he sold it to him at a cheaper price. Got me."

The Ministry of Magic is still as unreliable as ever.

"The Ministry of Magic is full of losers." Hagrid said dissatisfiedly. "Even if they catch the smugglers, they will just get rid of them all."

Albert suddenly asked: "Does Dumbledore know?"

At this moment, Albert noticed that Hagrid suddenly became panicked.

 Alas, forget it, let’s mention this later!

Albert sighed, he had already seen the answer from Hagrid's expression.

 “Can I feed Lu Wei?” He changed the topic.

"Oh, of course." Hagrid put down Lu Wei and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Lu Wei is just smelling your scent."

"Even though you said so..." Albert stretched out his hand to grab his wand, but he was still worried that Lu Wei would suddenly bite him. Although he was still very young, it was still uncomfortable to be bitten by a dog of this size.

Lu Wei was led by Hagrid, sniffing back and forth around Albert. Sometimes, one of his heads would show his teeth, but he would be reset after being slapped on the back by Hagrid. Divided.

 “Okay, sit down, sit down.” Hagrid said to Lu Wei.

"Aren't Yaya afraid of Lu Wei?" Albert asked doubtfully. He fed the three-headed dog. This guy seemed quite content while eating. The three heads ate three portions of beef respectively, but he didn't know which one What does it feel like to have three heads on your body?

"They get along well." Hagrid explained, "Before school started, I kept Luwei in my cabin. Until his body recovered completely, I put him here."

Although Hagrid tied Lu Wei with a very long vine.

 “Hagrid, can I touch it?” Albert turned his head and asked.

 “This, it should be... no problem!” Hagrid said uncertainly.

"You really can't reassure me." Albert resisted the desire to complain, and finally gave up the idea of ​​petting the three-headed dog.

He just used his crutch to tease the little guy, looked at the bite marks on it, and completely gave up the idea of ​​rubbing the three-headed dog's head.

 “Isn’t it cute?” Hagrid chuckled.

“Most animals are cute when they are young.” Albert did not deny that if they were not capable of biting, young three-headed dogs would actually be pretty good, but…

"Hagrid, have you ever thought about what it... I mean, what will happen when Fluttershy grows up?" Albert took out all the remaining dog food in his pocket and fed it to the three-headed dog. This little guy He seemed to like the look of these little biscuits. After Albert fed them, his eyes became much friendlier, at least not too wary or hostile.

"this…"

"As far as I know, a three-headed dog can grow to at least the height of an average adult. When it reaches full adulthood, it can slap me on the ground and bite my neck off." Albert reminded kindly, "It only takes one at most. Years later, it’s not big enough for vines to trap.”

"Don't worry, I won't let it appear in Hogwarts, and I have a way to calm it easily." Hagrid patted his chest confidently, took out a very rough recorder from his pocket, and placed it on the With music playing on his lips, Lu Wei, who was still eating, actually started to feel sleepy and soon fell asleep.

"How did you do that?" Although he knew that music could be used to make Lu Wei fall asleep, Albert still felt incredible when he witnessed this scene.

"This is my secret." Hagrid smiled proudly: "It took me half a month to find this good way."

"Okay!" Albert raised his eyebrows and continued, "However, as far as I know, in Muggle Greek mythology, there is a three-headed **** dog named Cerberus. If you want to pass it , needs music to put it to sleep.”

Hagrid was choked by Albert's words. He did not expect that Albert would actually say these words.

 In fact, the method of controlling three-headed dogs was indeed learned from the Greeks.

 “Is this really recorded in Muggle stories?”

"Yes." Albert confirmed, "However, this is not important. You still need to be careful. Besides, I don't think Dumbledore will allow you to keep this thing. My advice to you is to wait for you to figure it out. After it has grown up, it will be sent back to Greece, or it will be kept deep in the Forbidden Forest."

 “This…” Hagrid’s face was full of confusion.

"Hagrid, I want to touch it." Albert interrupted Hagrid, "Can you play the recorder to make it sleep."

 “Well, okay!” Hagrid nodded in agreement and continued to play the recorder. Lu Wei, who had just woken up, fell asleep again.

Albert immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and rubbed the three dogs’ heads. Unfortunately, he didn’t bring a camera, otherwise it would be good to take a photo.

“The brown hair of the three-headed dog is quite comfortable to touch.” Albert raised his hand and rubbed the three dog heads in turn, still muttering in his mouth.

“Albert also likes Lu Wei very much.” Hagrid thought to himself when he saw this scene.

Hagrid stopped playing the flute only when Albert was satisfied. They left secretly while Lu Wei was still eating. Yaya looked at Lu Wei, then at Hagrid's leaving back, and quickly turned around and chased after him.
