Chapter 466： dog who loves music

Chapter 466 The dog who likes music

 “Who are you looking for? Do you need my help?”

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

 After George discovered that Albert had returned from Hagrid's hut, he didn't know who he had been paying attention to.

 Actually, the three of them really 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 were a little impatient with the wait, especially since Albert did not reveal any news to them.

"Being not!"

“Have you learned from Hagrid how to get past that big dog?” Lee Jordan casually found a topic and asked what the three of them cared about most.

If they can't subdue the big dog, they won't even be able to pass the first level.

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

"Muggle records, are you sure they are reliable?" Fred frowned and reminded, "You should know that the magical world is different from the Muggle world."

"I already tried it when Hagrid started raising the three-headed dog." Albert said calmly, "It really works. It can make the three-headed dog fall into a deep sleep."

“Was the monster that caused a commotion in the Forbidden Forest the big dog in the room at the end of the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor?”

“Hagrid secretly kept it in the Forbidden Forest?”

“I remember you lied to us and said that the big dog was the guard dog raised by Professor Kettlebo in the Care of Magical Creatures class.” Lee Jordan complained pretending to be angry.

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

“Okay, who said that, Fred or George.” Lee Jordan immediately turned his gun and pointed it at the other two roommates.

“We remember you said it,” Fred and George said in unison.

 Actually, all three of them have forgotten who actually said these words.

 “What’s the Muggle way?” Fred asked.

 “You’ll find out later.”

Albert stared at the Marauder's Map, and the ink dot representing Hagrid was moving towards the outskirts of Hogwarts. Hagrid was apparently preparing to head to the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade via a path frequently used by Hogwarts students.

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

Albert believed that Quirrell would get the news soon after Hagrid left Hogwarts School, and followed Hagrid out of school to go to the Hog's Head pub to carry out his plan to lure the dragon eggs.

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

 “The troublesome person is finally gone!”

After Albert watched the ink dot representing Quirrell disappear from the Marauder's Map, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, Quirrell, who had just left the prohibited Apparition range, suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. He always felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, but Quirrell did not think much and immediately Apparated. left.

Albert put away the Marauder's Map and began to sort out the things he would need later under the delighted eyes of his three roommates.

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

“However, we need to move separately to avoid attracting others’ attention, so we will meet again in the secret passage near the restricted corridor on the fourth floor.”

“Is it finally going to start?” Fred happily put away the half-played wizard cards. Lee Jordan was a little dissatisfied with this, because he was going to win this game soon.

 This is a complete sham!

However, Lee Jordan's dissatisfaction did not last long, and he also put away the wizard cards. The upcoming exciting adventure is obviously more interesting than playing wizard cards.

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

“We have been prepared for a long time.” The three of them said in unison.

At this moment, it is approaching eight o'clock, the sky has completely darkened, and the library is almost closing. If the four of them went out together, it would easily attract the attention of other students in the lounge, so the four of them left 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 results in the O.W.L exam, Percy is also working hard to review his homework.

 Five minutes later, they arrived at the secret passage agreed upon on the fourth floor, met up with Fred and George, secretly opened the door when no one was around, and sneaked into the restricted 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 dim 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 also copied several music boxes and handed them to the other three people.

At this moment, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked confused. They didn’t understand what was going on?

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

"The music box can only last for about twenty or thirty seconds. Later, you will take turns to loosen the winding and let the music continue. The three-headed dog will fall into a deep sleep when it hears the music." Albert arranged the order and took out his wand. He knocked on the door lock and whispered: "Open the Alaho hole!"

With a click, the door lock opened.

With the creaking of the door, there was no deep barking in the ears. The moment the music box sounded, the big dog's eyes began to droop.

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

 “Open the trap door quickly.”

 Albert began to direct the actions of the three men.

"Don't let the music stop, I don't want to be torn into pieces by it." Fred glared at the entranced Lee Jordan, and he swore that if Li Jordan fell out of control later, he would stay with the three heads. Dogs as companions.

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

As they approached the three huge heads, they could feel the hot, smelly breath coming out of the big dogs' mouths.

“I bet Hagrid didn’t brush his teeth on time.” George couldn’t help complaining.

 “George, don’t forget.” Albert reminded.

"knew."

"Fred, Lee Jordan, use the levitating spell together to move the three-headed dog to the side. It is holding down the trap door." Albert directed his friends to complete the task in an orderly manner.

After the three-headed dog's body was removed from the trap door, Albert immediately bent down and pulled the ring on the trap door. The door suddenly opened, revealing a dark hole below.

“What did you see?” Fred and Lee Jordan moved the three-headed dog aside, unwound their clockwork, and allowed the music to continue.

Lee Jordan's face was full of nervousness. The presence of the three-headed dog Luwei put too much pressure on him. It was definitely not safe to be around such a big dog.

"There is nothing visible below, and there is no ladder to go down. We need to jump directly." Albert looked around the three of them and asked, "Who will go down first?"

"I can go down second," Fred muttered.

 There was nothing he could do, 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, conjuring a ball of light and letting it fall down along the entrance of the hole. "Continue. Fred down, Lee Jordan third.”

 “Okay.” George gritted his teeth.

"Hurry, hurry, don't waste time. If you know the shock-absorbing spell, you don't have to worry about falling to death." Albert urged.

George looked down through the hole and saw that there was no bottom below. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly slid down the hole. In the end, he only had ten fingers to hold on to the edge of the hole. The speed was frighteningly slow.

“Don’t let the music stop.” Albert threw another ball of light downwards and warned loudly, “Otherwise, if you get bitten by this thing, you will be in bad luck.”

 Seeing that several people were still stalling and not wanting to go down, Albert couldn't help but sigh. He didn't care whether George wanted to go down or not. He said "See you below" and went down directly next to George.

Fred, George and Li Jordan were all startled by Albert's crisp movements. Thinking of their own actions just now, their cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

 The three of them were not willing to stay up there any longer. There was a three-headed dog next to them, which made them really not feel safe.

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