Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 465: The dog who likes music
"Who are you looking for and need my help?"
In the boys' dormitory of Gryffindor House, 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 but ask .
George doesn't know who he's been following since he found out Albert was back from Hagrid's cottage.
Actually, the three of them wanted to ask Albert when he would venture out to the restricted area on the fourth floor.
Albert just told them to wait for a while, Fred and Lee Jordan had played several rounds of the wizarding card and got a little impatient, especially since Albert didn't tell them anything.
"Not for now!"
"Have you heard from Hagrid how to get past that big dog?" Lee Jordan casually found a topic and asked what the three were most concerned about.
If they can't subdue the big dog, they won't even get past the first level.
"That's the Greek three-headed dog." Albert said without looking up: "In the Muggle Greek mythology system, there are detailed records of how to deal with the three-headed dog."
"The Muggle record, are you sure it's reliable?" Fred frowned and reminded, "You should know that the wizarding world is not the same as the Muggle world."
"I tried it when Hagrid started raising the three-headed dog," Albert said calmly. "It really worked, and it put the three-headed dog to sleep."
"Is the monster that made a lot of noise in the forbidden forest the big dog in the room at the end of the corridor in the forbidden area on the fourth floor?"
"Hagrid secretly kept it in the forbidden forest"
"I remember that you lied to us that the big dog was the watchdog of Professor Keelber in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class," Lee Jordan complained, pretending to be annoyed.
"I don't remember saying that," Albert said calmly.
"Well, who said that, Fred, or George." Lee Jordan immediately turned his gun on 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, where the dots representing Hagrid were moving towards the outskirts of Hogwarts. Hagrid was apparently ready to head to Hogsmeade's Hog's Head pub through the path that Hogwarts students often take.
As for Professor Quirrell, he's still in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor.
Albert believes Quirrell will get the news soon after Hagrid leaves Hogwarts, and follow Hagrid out of school to go to the Hog's Head to carry out his dragon egg seduction 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, under the cover of darkness, headed towards the castle. walk around.
"The person in the way is finally gone!"
Albert took a deep breath as he watched the dots representing Quirrell disappear from the Marauder's map, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, Quirrell, who had just left the Apparition-forbidden range, suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. He always felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, but Quirrell didn't think much of it. Immediately Apparated and left.
Albert put away the Marauder's map and began to organize things he was going to use under the delighted gaze of his three roommates.
He took the music box he bought for Christmas from the deformed lizard's belt, tucked it into his jacket pocket, and said to Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, who were expecting, "Come on, go to the fourth floor. Forbidden corridor, our adventure begins."
"However, we need to act separately, so as not to attract attention, we will meet again in the secret passage near the corridor of the restricted area on the fourth floor."
"Is it finally time to start?" Fred happily put away the half-played wizard cards in his hand, and Lee Jordan was a little dissatisfied with this, because he was going to win this game soon.
It's a complete bummer!
However, Lee Jordan's dissatisfaction did not last long, and he also put away the wizard card. Compared to playing the wizard card, the upcoming exciting adventure is obviously more interesting.
"Tom, stay in the room, don't run around, I'll be back for you later." Albert raised his hand and scratched Tom's bottom, put it on the soft cushion next to him, raised his head to face The three said: "Get ready, let's go!"
"We're ready." The three of them said in unison.
At this moment, it's almost eight o'clock, the sky is completely dark, and the library is about to close. If the four of them go out together, it is easy to attract the attention of other students in the lounge, so the four of them leave in batches.
Albert was walking out of the lounge with Lee Jordan when he happened to bump into Percy who had just returned from the library, the Gryffindor prefect looking tired.
Percy is also working **** his homework in order to excel in the O.W.L exams.
Five minutes later, they came to the agreed secret passage on the fourth floor, joined Fred and George, secretly opened the door when no one was there, and sneaked into the restricted corridor on the fourth floor.
After Fred backhanded the wooden door leading to the restricted corridor, he asked Albert again, "How are you going to subdue that dog?"
"Use this."
The four passed through the dark corridor and appeared at the end of the corridor in the restricted area on the fourth floor. Albert took out the music box from his pocket and copied several music boxes and handed them over to the other three.
At this moment, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan are all dazed, don't understand what's going on?
Albert twists the clockwork, causing the music box to make a crisp sound.
"The music box can only last about twenty or thirty seconds. Later, you will take turns to loosen the bar and let the music continue. The three-headed dog will fall into a deep sleep after hearing the music." Albert arranged the order, then took out He took out his wand, knocked on the door lock, and said in a low voice, "Araho is open!"
With a click, the door locks open.
With the creaking sound of the door, there was no deep barking in the ear, and the moment the music box sounded, the big dog's eyes began to droop down.
It wobbled a few times, and soon fell to the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
"Open the trapdoor."
Albert begins to direct the trio of operations.
"Don't let the music stop, I don't want to be ripped to shreds by it." Fred glared hard at the dazed Lee Jordan, who vowed to keep Lee Jordan if the chain fell off later Companionship with three-headed dogs.
"Sorry," muttered Lee Jordan, apologizing for the mistake.
As they approached the three giant heads, they could feel a hot, stinky breath coming out of the big dog's mouth.
"I bet Hagrid didn't brush his teeth on time," George couldn't help but complain.
"George, don't forget," Albert reminded.
"Got it."
"Fred, Lee Jordan, you both used the Levitation Charm together to move the three-headed dog aside, and it pressed the trapdoor." Albert instructed his friends to complete the task in an orderly manner.
After the three-headed dog's body was removed from the trapdoor, Albert immediately bent down and pulled the pull tab on the trapdoor, and the door suddenly opened, revealing a dark hole below.
"What did you see?" After moving the three-headed dog aside, Fred and Lee Jordan let go of their clockwork and let the music continue.
Lee Jordan's face was full of tension. The presence of Lou Wei, the three-headed dog, put too much pressure on him. It was definitely not safe to be around such a big dog.
"I can't see anything below~IndoMTL.com~ and there is no ladder to go down, we need to jump straight down." Albert asked, looking around the three, "Who goes 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 hole. , "Fred is next, Lee Jordan third."
"Okay." George gritted his teeth.
"Quick, quick, don't waste time, you don't have to worry about falling to your death if you know the shock-absorbing spell." Albert urged.
George looked down through the hole, the bottom was bottomless, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, and slowly slid down the hole, and finally climbed the edge of the hole with only ten fingers, and the speed was frighteningly slow .
"Don't let the music stop." Albert threw a ball of light down again and reminded loudly, "Otherwise you will be bitten by this thing, and you will be out of luck."
Seeing that several people were still procrastinating and not wanting to go down, Albert couldn't help but sighed, and regardless of whether George wanted to go down or not, he said "see you below" and went down directly from George.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all taken aback by Albert's neat and tidy actions, and their cheeks could not help but heat slightly when they remembered their actions just now.
The three were reluctant to stay on top, and there was a three-headed dog next to them, which made them feel really insecure.
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 sounds, but the music sounded. It will stop soon, and the sleeping three-headed dog will eventually wake up again.
