At this moment, Lee Jordan instinctively wanted to rely on his reliable roommate. However, he was too nervous. His rapid breathing and heartbeat exposed his position and attracted the attention of the three-headed monster.
Fred and George also noticed that one of the three-headed monster in front of them raised its head and looked in a certain direction. They felt relieved. As long as Albert was here, he should... possibly... be able to deal with the three-headed monster in front of them!
Fred and George prayed that Albert would show up soon and help them out of their current predicament. However, no matter how much they prayed in their hearts, their voices could not be conveyed to Albert, and it was of no use.
The three heads and three pairs of eyes of the monster were all staring at the hiding place of Fred and George. The three noses were twitching and sniffing towards their hiding place. The sticky saliva dripped from the yellowed canine teeth and fell beside them, making Fred and George tremble. With just one move, the two of them might be pounced on and bitten to death by the monster in front of them.
Not only Fred and George, but even Lee Jordan who was hiding nearby was sweating profusely. He didn't understand. The situation was already critical, why didn't Albert take action yet? What was he doing
Lee Jordan didn't understand, he really didn't understand!
He clenched the wand in his hand, ready to cast a spell on the monster at any time and save Fred and George at the critical moment.
ah!
When Lou Williams opened his mouth and prepared to pounce, Fred and George, who could no longer bear the pressure, let out a terrified and shrill scream. They almost used their hands and feet to run out of the Forbidden Forest at the speed of a 100-meter race.
Honestly, this is pretty stupid.
Albert, who was hiding nearby, watched for a while without any doubt. Exposing his back to the enemy, isn't this courting death
Moreover, no matter how fast the two of them ran, could they be faster than the three-headed dog
However, for some reason, the three-headed dog Lu Wei did not chase after him immediately. Perhaps it was because the shrill scream just now really scared Lu Wei.
When the three-headed dog Fluffy came to his senses and started barking in the direction where Red and George had left and chased after them, the Weasley twins who were running wildly wished they could grow two more legs.
Lee Jordan was stunned by the scene before him. When he came to his senses and prepared to rescue Fred and George, he heard Hagrid's loud shouting not far away: "Fluwill, come back!"
The three-headed dog hesitated. Hagrid had raised it for such a long time, so it was of some use. Especially if it didn't obey this time, it probably wouldn't be taken out for a walk next time.
This hesitation saved Fred and George, who were originally running away. However, the two brothers were not in a good situation either. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were scared to death by the three-headed monster just now.
"That scream just now seemed to be... the Weasley family?" Hagrid naturally also heard the screams of Fred and George, and his face turned ugly. He didn't want anyone to know about Fluffy's existence, and he didn't want Fluffy to bite other students. He hurried over here, and after carefully confirming that Fluffy didn't bite the two Weasley brothers, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who's there? Come out!"
Noticing the three-headed dog's gaze, Hagrid immediately followed the three-headed dog's gaze. He saw footprints in the snow and shouted.
"It's me!" Lee Jordan said helplessly.
"Are you invisible?" Hagrid had already recognized whose voice it was, and his expression became even uglier.
"It's the Disillusionment Charm. Albert helped me with it. I just came over to see what's going on here." Lee Jordan unceremoniously threw Albert out to take the blame. He knew that Albert had a good relationship with Hagrid.
"What happened just now? Didn't I tell you not to go into the woods?" Hagrid's face suddenly darkened, and he continued to ask: "Where is Albert?"
"Albert? He should be around here." Lee Jordan looked up and around, but did not see Albert, nor did he find his footprints in the snow. He immediately realized that he had been tricked.
"Damn it, those bastards!" Lee Jordan cursed in his heart. However, he soon lost interest in that thought, because Lu Wei's three heads came towards him, scaring him so much that his legs trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
"Hagrid, could you please keep your pet away from me? It looks a little..." Lee Jordan didn't say the word "scary" after all.
"Oh, don't worry, Fluffy is very good." Hagrid comforted him, "Last time, Albert rubbed his head."
"Albert, rub the dog's head?" Lee Jordan admired Albert's courage and bravery. He actually dared to rub the monster's head. Could it be that it was not as dangerous as it looked on the surface
Hagrid seemed to see through Lee Jordan's thoughts and warned him, "When I'm not around, it's best to stay away from Luwei. He's learning how to hunt for food recently..."
The latter quickly dismissed a certain crazy idea.
"What are you doing in the woods?" Hagrid asked, frowning.
"The four of us went into the woods to pick snow mushrooms, the same delicious mushrooms we found last year." Lee Jordan didn't want to hide Hagrid's intention and told the truth, but only half of it. Anyway, he didn't lie, and he spoke with confidence. He learned this from Albert.
"What happened to Fred and George just now? Why did they scream in fear?" Hagrid asked in confusion.
"Of course... I was scared!" Lee Jordan felt the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. If he faced the three-headed monster in front of him, he would be scared and scream.
"If I wasn't here today, I really don't know what would have happened!" Hagrid complained in a pretended angry tone. "It's okay if you guys die in the Forbidden Forest. At worst, I can come in and clean up the mess for you another day, but I don't want your little trouble to bring a bad reputation to Hogwarts."
Hagrid reached out and pushed Fluffy's three heads aside. He raised his hand and poked Lee Jordan in the chest and said, "Don't say anything when you get back. Also, don't go into the woods again, or I'll have Professor McGonagall deduct points from you and put you in detention for another month."
"We understand." Lee Jordan said sincerely, "I promise it won't happen again."
"At least, you won't find out next time," he added in his heart.
After being severely scolded by Hagrid and standing there listening to his nagging for several minutes, Lee Jordan regretted it very much. If he had known earlier, he should not have been so curious. Why did he come back to see what kind of pet Hagrid had
Not only was he beaten half to death by the monster, but he was also severely scolded by Hagrid. So where on earth was Albert hiding? He was sure that Albert knew about the monster, so he asked them to leave quickly.
Lee Jordan felt extremely depressed when he thought about what had just happened. He should have run away with Albert. However, when he thought about Fred and George who were scared to death by the monster, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Sure enough, after a quick comparison, I saw that Fred and George were more unlucky than me, and my mood suddenly became much better.
Hagrid held the chain around Lu Wei's neck, looked at Lee Jordan's receding back, and said, "Okay, he's gone, come out!"
There was no response and the surroundings remained dead silent.
Hagrid raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. He looked around but didn't see Albert. He murmured freely: "Did I guess wrong?"
