Chapter 20: Transition and Discussion of the Three-Headed Dog
Early the next morning, Ryan yawned and went to the auditorium to have breakfast. Because he was too excited yesterday, he didn't sleep well at night.
However, despite being physically exhausted, Ryan was still very excited mentally. He even smiled occasionally while eating.
This behavior earned Hermione, who was eating next to her, an eye-roll. "What on earth did you do this weekend? You were lost in your thoughts for a while, in an inexplicable daze, and giggled from time to time. Is there really nothing wrong with you?"
After Ryan repeatedly assured her that there was nothing wrong with her, Hermione let her go. After that, they went to the library to study early.
Life is back on track. Ryan is also studying quietly and normally in class. He feels that it is not suitable to travel to other worlds before he has completely mastered the two newly learned abilities. After all, if he wants to learn something new, he can't bite off more than he can chew.
To understand the power, you must first apply the power you have already mastered.
In addition, he showed an interest in magical plants in Wednesday's herbal medicine class. He was even willing to stay after class to help clean up, just to stay with those magical plants for a while. After all, he only had contact with these plants.
Only Ryan can absorb Crazy Dave's knowledge and use it for his own practical purposes.
Professor Sprout was very happy to see Ryan clearly showing his love for these plants. After all, as teachers, it gives them a sense of accomplishment to have students sincerely like the courses they teach.
So Professor Sprout told Lane that if he had questions about these magical plants, he could come directly to her office and ask questions.
Therefore, in addition to improving his abilities, Ryan found that he had a good reputation with the professor, which was an unexpected gain.
However, it is difficult to practice the mechanical ability, because there is an unreasonable repair spell in the wizarding world, so there is no place to practice it. Fortunately, that thing is not very useful in the wizarding world. When will I have the opportunity?
You can also practice again.
After finishing my homework in the evening, I found many people crowded around the fireplace in the common room. The Weasley twins seemed to be demonstrating something new there.
Just as Ryan was about to stand up and take a look at the excitement, the door to the common room opened and Hermione climbed in from the outside.
After she came in, she looked around the lounge and then walked towards Ryan. It seemed that she wanted to see him for something.
Ryan sat back in his seat, and soon Hermione sat opposite him, and then looked around nervously. Most of the people in the lounge were attracted by the Weasley twins' new tricks, and no one paid attention.
Go to this corner.
Hermione put down her schoolbag and took out a thick book.
The book looks to be old, with a cover made of some kind of reptile skin. The title of the book is written in faded gold on the cover: "Rare Magical Animals of Europe"
Hermione said: "Look I found this."
She opened the book and turned to one of the pages. There was a painting of a three-headed dog on it. It seemed that the original artist had good painting skills. The three-headed dog was painted lifelike and kept changing its posture, as if it were alive.
Ryan could tell at a glance that the three-headed dog in the picture looked almost exactly the same as the three-headed dog they met that day in the room on the fourth floor that was not allowed to be approached.
An introduction to this animal is written below the picture: The three-headed dog is a magical creature with the blood of regional creatures. It is a relic of the mythical era. Because it has three heads, it has the ability to detect and resist twilight, panic, and coma.
Innate advantages.
This animal has powerful night vision, and its claws and teeth are venomous. It can inflict hard-to-heal damage to its opponent. Multiple heads can take turns to rest, so it is difficult to make a sneak attack. And the blood of the mythical creature makes it difficult to attack.
He is extremely resistant to both magical and physical attacks.
"Why are you showing me this?" Ryan asked, and then he seemed to have thought of something: "I swear I will never take risks like last time. After all, being able to escape unharmed when encountering such a terrifying creature can only be considered a success.
Lucky, I can't count on luck to always favor me. And I accidentally got you involved last time. I apologize to you again."
"It's a good thing that you have this idea, but that's not what I meant when I showed you this book. Look at this paragraph." Ryan followed Hermione's finger and found the row at the foot of the page he had just skipped.
Small print: The three-headed dog can be tamed by a strong owner. Once tamed, it will only obey the owner's instructions and is the most suitable and loyal guard.
"We were in that room that day and saw a trap door at the foot of the three-headed dog. This just shows that the three-headed dog is there to protect something. What do you think it is that will make the school take a certain risk?
Put such a dangerous animal in the school?"
When did Hermione have such curiosity? In the original article, didn't she pay attention to this issue after she became friends with Harry and Ron?
Ryan thought about Hermione's changes, and then figured it out: As a top student, Hermione must have great curiosity about unknown things. Let alone escape from the mouth of such a big three-headed dog.
It would be a strange thing not to be curious about that animal. If Ryan didn't already know the answer to the mystery, he would definitely be looking for information about that dog now.
It's just that in the original world, Hermione's popularity among Gryffindors was not good, and she couldn't find anyone with whom she could discuss, so she could only think about it in her heart.
Hermione saw that Ryan seemed to be in a daze again, so she asked: "I don't believe you are not curious at all about the three-headed dog and the trap door. Can you tell me what you thought of?"
Although Ryan knew the secret under the trap door, he certainly couldn't tell him directly (otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain how he knew it).
After thinking about it, Ryan said: "After reading the information you gave me today, the only thing I can be sure of now is that the dog is guarding something, and that thing must be very important, otherwise such an animal would not be used to guard the door.
."
"However." Ryan changed the subject: "What I find strange is that Hogwarts is just a school, not a treasury. How can it be used to store treasures?"
"Wait, Vault, I seem to have thought of something." Hermione continued: "I have been ordering the Daily Prophet. I remember that the newspaper said that someone invaded Gringotts during the summer vacation, but the Gringotts spokesperson said,
The invaded vault was empty, and all its contents had been withdrawn earlier that day. Do you think the items hidden in Hogwarts were the same items that were withdrawn?"
What an amazing reasoning. He was able to guess the truth. Ryan looked at Hermione in surprise. Then he realized that he was a little bit out of control. He coughed and said, "I think your guess is reasonable, because the wizarding world is better than Gringotts."
The only safe place is Hogwarts, where the great Dumbledore lives. But those who dare to rob Gringotts might also dare to rob Hogwarts."
"Then, what should we do?" Hermione said a little nervously.
Ryan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have the greatest white wizard of this century as the principal. Even if something happens, it's not our two first-year students' turn to worry about."
