The surroundings fell into an eerie silence again.
Hagrid, who was waiting nearby, could not help but ask, "Is the spell effective?"
Although Albert failed when he used the Spell last time, with Dumbledore here this time, Hagrid was confident that it would succeed.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head. They were trying the Flying Spell here just for the sake of trying it out. Even if they failed, there would be no loss.
The four of them were waiting there. If this trick didn't work... if the three-headed dog didn't fly over... then they would have to choose another way.
I believe that if Dumbledore is given more time, he should be able to find the three-headed dog.
Hagrid prayed in his heart and looked around, hoping to see Fluffy flying towards him.
However, they waited for a few minutes but the three-headed dog still did not fly over. But a faint noise came from the other end of the forest, which immediately attracted the attention of the four people.
"Go and have a look." There was a strange light flashing under Dumbledore's glasses, and he walked forward with big strides, not like an old man at all.
Professor Smith and Albert had also realized something and followed Dumbledore's steps. Only Hagrid was still confused and didn't understand what was going on.
"Hurry up, it might be Fluffy." Albert turned back to remind Hagrid and quickly followed the two people in front.
The snow in the Forbidden Forest was not very thick, but walking fast on the snow was still a very painful thing. Although Albert was taller than other children of the same age, he still could not avoid the fact that his legs were short.
Short legs are a disadvantage in running and walking. Hagrid ran over quickly, picked up Albert with one hand, and regardless of his objections, he put him on his shoulders and chased after him with big strides.
This was my first time experiencing this, and to be honest it was quite bumpy. Sitting on someone else's shoulders was 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 someone's shoulders like this.
"You run too slowly, and I don't want you to be attacked by the Acromantula again." Hagrid had caught up with Dumbledore and Professor Smith. He couldn't just leave Albert here.
The sound just now was not far ahead.
When the three hurriedly chased after it, they found a cave that looked like it was made of tree roots. It seemed that... well, it was hit by something, or...
Albert's face twitched, and he seemed to be able to guess what had happened here.
"It was hiding here just now." Professor Smith went forward to check the cave entrance and found some deer skeletons. He whispered, "It must be because of the flying curse that the three-headed dog directly crashed into the cave."
The entrance to the dungeon was in the opposite direction from where they came from, and the space inside was not big to begin with, so it was directly destroyed.
Smith ran his fingers over the vines above, rubbed the blood on them, and whispered, "The flying spell is effective against the three-headed dog."
For some reason, Albert always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart, and frowned at Professor Smith.
"It ran away." Dumbledore pointed to the footprints and a little blood on it and said, "It must have been injured."
"I'll chase him!" Hagrid prepared to follow the footprints.
"No need, just use the Flying Spell once and you can pull the three-headed dog over." Professor Smith said.
The sense of disobedience became even stronger.
Albert looked at Professor Smith and narrowed his eyes. He already knew where the incongruity lay.
"Flying spell, Fluffy... is it Legilimency?"
"It seems that level 3 occlumency is not very safe." Albert sighed in his heart. He felt that Professor Smith must be very good at Legilimency.
"What's wrong?" Professor Smith felt Albert's gaze and turned to ask.
"Nothing, let's get started, otherwise Fluffy will run away." Albert looked away and looked at Dumbledore, nodding.
"Let's do it again!" Dumbledore raised his wand as well.
In fact, Fluffy is really unlucky. Although the three-headed dog, a magical creature, is not as resistant to magic as the fire dragon, it is still not weak.
But it met Dumbledore.
Dumbledore, who possessed the Elder Wand, cast a very powerful spell. Albert, who took the Felicity Potion, also showed strong magical power. The Level 4 wizard bloodline was not just for show.
Now, Albert can exert the magical power of an adult wizard, and with the help of the Felicity Potion, he can also perform the Flying Spell perfectly.
Smith is a pure-blood wizard, and he has good attainments in defense against the dark arts, so his magical powers are naturally not weak either.
The three of them worked together, and no matter how reluctant Lu Wei was, he would still be dragged over by the Flying Curse.
"Make way!" Dumbledore noticed something flying towards them and reminded everyone to make way.
The four of them quickly made room for one of the empty spaces.
The three-headed dog flew over with a hum, looking a little miserable. Hagrid immediately went forward and hugged Fluffy's neck, slapping its head angrily.
Albert looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched. The three-headed dog, which looked very ferocious, actually looked pitiful in Hagrid's hands.
"Okay Hagrid, 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 treat the wound on its head."
"Oh, all right!" Hagrid nodded repeatedly, then looked at Fluffy and slapped him on the head. "You've been running around without anything to eat, and you've become thinner."
"Hagrid, is Fluffy an adult?"
Albert looked at the large dog in front of him and couldn't help but step back a few steps.
The three-headed dog is so fierce that if you are accidentally attacked, you might be bitten to death.
Of course, the saliva and the stench coming from Lu Wei's mouth were the main reasons why Albert retreated. It was probably because he had been eating rotten meat frequently during this period, and the smell was really pungent.
"Not yet. It may take a few more months for it to reach adulthood." Hagrid thought for a moment and pleaded, "Can I wait until Fluffy reaches adulthood and then send him back to Greece? I promise he won't cause any more trouble."
"Hagrid..." Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, and changed his words, "Okay, but you need to keep an eye on it and don't let other students find it."
"I'll keep it secret," Albert said immediately.
"Me too." Professor Smith looked the three-headed dog up and down, as if it was the first time he had seen such a magical creature.
"Is this the first time Professor Smith has seen the 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 Kettleber's cabin. He was willing to help Fluffy treat his head, so Albert and Smith said goodbye in advance and returned to the castle.
"Professor Smith, I have made a small breakthrough in magic runes recently. I may know how to open the secret door of Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets." Albert said to Professor Smith with a smile before the Felicia Potion was finished.
"Really? That's great." Professor Smith looked very excited and couldn't help asking, "When are you free?"
"I'll try it when I get back, but I'm not 100% sure of success," Albert added.
"If you fail, just keep trying." Smith patiently comforted Albert.
