The surroundings fell into an eerie silence again.
Hagrid, who was waiting nearby, finally couldn't help but ask: "Is the spell effective?"
Although Albert's use of the Flying Curse failed last time, this time with Dumbledore here, Hagrid is confident that it will succeed this time.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head. They were trying the Flying Curse here just to give it a try. Anyway, even if they failed, they would not lose anything.
The four of them were waiting in place. If this move didn't succeed...if the three-headed dog didn't fly...then they would have to choose other methods.
I believe that if Dumbledore is given a little more time, he should be able to find the three-headed dog.
Hagrid prayed in his heart and looked around, hoping to see Lu Wei flying towards this direction.
However, they waited for a few minutes, but still failed to wait for the three-headed dog to fly. However, there was a faint noise from the other end of the forest, which immediately attracted the attention of the four people.
"Go over and have a look." Dumbledore's glasses were shining with a strange light as he strode forward, not looking like an old man at all.
Professor Smith and Albert had also realized something and followed Dumbledore's footsteps. Only Hagrid was still confused and did not understand what was going on.
"Follow quickly, it might be Lu Wei." Albert turned around to remind Hagrid, and quickly followed the footsteps of the two people in front of him.
The snow in the Forbidden Forest is not too thick, but it is still a pain in the ass to walk quickly on the snow. Although Albert is taller than other children of the same age, he still cannot avoid leg pain.
Short facts.
Having short legs was a disadvantage when it came to running and walking. Hagrid ran over quickly, picked up Albert with one hand, and regardless of his objections, he put the man on his shoulders and chased him forward with rapid strides.
This is the first time for me to have such an experience, and to be honest, it is very bumpy. Sitting on someone else's shoulders is not a pleasant experience, at least for Albert.
"Hagrid, can you put me down?" Albert said helplessly. He would rather run down by himself than be carried on his shoulders like this.
"You are running too slow, and I don't want you to encounter a sneak attack from the Acromantula again." Hagrid had already caught up with Dumbledore and Professor Smith, and there was no way he would leave Albert here.
The sound that just came was not far ahead.
When the three of them hurriedly chased after each other, they found a cave that looked like tree roots. It seemed like...well, they were hit by something, or...
Albert's face twitched, and he seemed to be able to figure out what was going on here.
"It was hiding here just now." Professor Smith stepped forward to check the entrance of the cave and found some deer bones. He whispered: "It should be due to the flying curse that caused the three-headed dog to directly destroy the cave."
The entrance to the crypt was in the opposite direction from where they came, and the space inside was not large to begin with, so it was destroyed immediately.
Smith's fingers crossed the vines above, rubbed the blood on them, and whispered: "The Flying Curse is useful for three-headed dogs."
For some reason, Albert always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart, and he frowned and looked at Professor Smith.
"It ran away." Dumbledore pointed to the footprints and a little bit of blood on it and said, "It was probably a little injured."
"I'll chase him!" Hagrid was ready to follow the footsteps and catch up.
"No need, as long as you use the Flying Curse once, you can pull the three-headed dog over." Professor Smith said.
The feeling of dissonance became even stronger.
Albert looked at Professor Smith and narrowed his eyes. He already knew where the sense of dissonance lay.
"The Flying Curse, Lu Wei...is it Legilimency?"
"It seems that the third level of Occlumency is not very safe." Albert sighed inwardly. He felt that Professor Smith must be very good at Legilimency.
"What's wrong?" Professor Smith felt Albert's gaze and turned around to ask.
"Nothing, let's get started, so that Lu Wei won't run away." Albert looked away at Dumbledore and nodded.
"Then do it again!" Dumbledore also raised his wand.
In fact, Lu Wei is really unlucky. Although the magical creature like the three-headed dog is not as resistant to magic as the fire dragon, it is not weak either.
But, it met Dumbledore.
Dumbledore, who owned the Elder Wand, cast extremely powerful spells. In addition, Albert, who took the Elixir, also showed very strong magical power. Level 4 of the wizard's bloodline was not just thrown there for display.
Now, Albert can exert the magical power of an adult wizard, and with the help of the elixir of blessing, he can cast the flying spell perfectly.
Smith is a pure-blood wizard and has good attainments in black magic defense, so his magical power is naturally not weak.
The three of them worked together, and even if Lu Wei was reluctant, he would still be dragged over by the flying curse.
"Make way!" Dumbledore noticed something flying towards this direction and reminded everyone to make way.
The four of them quickly vacated a clearing.
The three-headed dog whined and flew over, looking a little miserable. Hagrid immediately stepped forward and hugged Lu Wei's neck, and angrily slapped its head with his hand.
Albert's lips twitched as he watched this scene. The three-headed dog, which looked so ferocious, actually felt pitiful when it fell into Hagrid's hands.
"Okay Hagrid, let's put it on first." Dumbledore conjured three collars and chains and asked Hagrid to put them on the three-headed dog's neck. "Take it back first and let Silvanus put it on."
It heals the wound on the head."
"Oh, okay!" Hagrid nodded repeatedly, looked at Lu Wei, and slapped his restless head, "I made you run around without food, and you became thin."
"Hagrid, is Lu Wei an adult?"
Albert looked at the large dog in front of him and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The three-headed dog is so tough that if it is attacked accidentally, it may be bitten to death.
Of course, Lu Wei's saliva and the stench from his mouth were the main reasons for Albert's retreat. It was probably because he often ate rotten meat during this period, and the smell was really smoky.
"Not yet, it may take a few more months to reach adulthood." Hagrid thought for a while and begged, "Can I wait until Luwei reaches adulthood before sending him back to Greece? I guarantee that he will not cause trouble again."
"Hagrid..." Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, so he changed his words, "Okay, but you need to keep an eye on it and don't let other students find it."
"I will keep it a secret," Albert said immediately.
"Me too." Professor Smith looked up and down at the three-headed dog, as if it was his first time seeing such a magical creature.
"Is this the first time Professor Smith has seen a three-headed dog?" Albert asked curiously.
"Well, it's the first time." Professor Smith said with a smile, "But it's pretty much what I expected."
The four of them went directly to Professor Kettlebo's cabin. He was willing to help Lu Wei treat his head. Albert and Smith left in advance and returned to the castle.
"Professor Smith, I have recently made a small breakthrough in magic writing. I may know how to open the secret door of Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets." Albert smiled and said to Professor Smith before the Elixir of Fortune was over.
.
"Really? That's great." Professor Smith looked very excited and couldn't help but ask, "When will you be free?"
"I'll give it a try when I get back, but I won't be 100% successful," Albert added.
"If you fail, just keep trying." Smith comforted Albert patiently.
