Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

Before going to the restricted area, Hermione suggested to go to Hagrid to figure out how to deal with the three-headed dog.

Because dogs have always had a very keen sense of smell, Harry's invisibility cloak could only block their vision, but it couldn't cover their smell, so it probably wouldn't have any effect on the three-headed dogs.

Harry and Ron agreed, confident in getting the words out of Hagrid.After all, as we all know, Hagrid is tight-lipped, but the premise is that there is no bottle opener...

So, the three of them came to Hagrid's hut.

"Hagrid, what's the matter with you?"

Looking at Hagrid's big face wrapped in bandages, half-scorched clothes, and a large piece of bald hair and beard, Harry asked in surprise.

"Ah, I'm fine. I added too much firewood to boil the water last night, and accidentally burned myself." Hagrid said with a guilty conscience.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other, thinking that there must be something tricky about it.

"Hagrid, did you do something against the school rules?" Harry asked.

"No! I definitely didn't!" Hagrid was startled, and shouted emotionally, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful, I will sue you for defamation!"

Hermione frowned suspiciously, and moved closer to Hagrid for a closer look.

"Something's wrong," she said. "Not only are you burnt, but you also have animal scratches."

Hagrid hurriedly covered his overcoat with his hands, and jumped back a certain distance with an unnatural expression on his face, shaking the entire shed.

"No, but...Maybe I accidentally scratched it somewhere..." He stumbled and said.

"Hagrid, I remember you've always wanted to raise a dragon." Hermione looked at him with keen eyes, "The burn marks, the animal scratches on the clothes... you really don't want to raise a dragon." Fire dragon?"

"I didn't!" Hagrid blurted out, "Look clearly, the scratches of manticores and dragons are different!"

After he finished speaking, he regretted it and quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

"So you had a manticore?" Hermione asked. "And what are the burn marks? I've read Mr. Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but it doesn't mention Until the manticore breathes fire."

"Okay, I admit that I did something wrong last night." Hagrid said dejectedly, "I tried to crossbreed a manticore with a fire crab. I hid well by the side, but for some reason the sky suddenly brightened Get up, and then I was found by the animals..."

Harry and Ron looked sympathetic, and tiptoed to pat Hagrid's big belly as a comfort.

At this time, Hermione quietly winked at the two of them.

Harry suddenly remembered that there were still tasks to do today, so he quickly changed his attitude.

"Hagrid, you have been tossed to such an extent by a few fire crabs and manticores. I don't think you are as good at dealing with animals as you said." He raised his head and said disdainfully.

To be honest, his acting skills were a bit exaggerated, but Hagrid didn't see it.

"Nonsense! I'm the best at dealing with small animals!" Hagrid retorted unconvinced, feeling that his expertise had been challenged.

"But we can't see it." Ron, who was as slow as he was, also reacted at this time, and continued, "I think it's just a coincidence that you can subdue the three-headed dog!"

Hagrid blushed with his big, unshaven face, and slammed the table in front of him.

"Just kidding!" he said loudly, "the three-headed dog is the easiest to deal with, as long as you know how to calm it down and play some music to it, it will fall asleep immediately..."

Before he finished speaking, Hagrid suddenly showed a terrified expression on his face.

"I shouldn't have told you this!" he said bitterly. "Forget what I said! Say—where are you going?"

At this time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had already got what they wanted, and ran from Hagrid's hut into the castle's foyer without exchanging a word along the way.

They stood panting in the quiet hallway, looked at each other, their expressions gradually changed from confusion to firmness.

"Without further ado, we must stop Quirrell in the restricted area as soon as possible!" said Harry, taking out the Invisibility Cloak from his pocket.

Hermione and Ron nodded and got into Harry's invisibility cloak together.

Following the vague memories of their previous night tour, they quickly came to the outside of the corridor on the fourth floor—the door had already been opened a crack.

"Well, you see," Harry whispered, "I'm afraid Quirrell has passed Lu Wei."

Seeing the ajar door, they seemed more aware of what they were about to face.Harry turned to look at Ron and Hermione under the cloak.

"If you want to retreat now, I won't blame you." He said, "Voldemort is what I should face, and I don't want to involve you. You don't have to join me to destroy his plan, so that even if he does come back Yes, you also have a chance to save your life."

"Don't be silly," said Ron.

"Come on, let's go in together." Hermione shook her head and said firmly.

Harry took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Walking into this door, his mood was solemn, as if he had walked into his destined life...

However, instead of the deep barking of the three-headed dog, what greeted them was darkness and dead silence.

"Hermione, didn't you say that the three-headed dog must be able to smell us, and the invisibility cloak is useless to it?" Harry lowered his voice and asked Hermione, "There is no movement now, is it because the invisibility cloak can Is the smell covered too?"

Hermione frowned and took two steps forward, and suddenly lifted the invisibility cloak.

"Hermione!"

"Hermione, what are you doing!"

However, Hermione didn't care about the worries of the two, but stretched out her wand in the dark room——

"Lumos!"

A light shone from the tip of Hermione's wand, illuminating the dimly lit room.

Harry and Ron were stunned to see a huge three-headed dog that almost filled most of the room standing motionless.

Its eyes were wide open on one head, and it poked its head forward angrily, while the eyes on the other two heads were closed, as if it hadn't fully woken up yet.

The three-headed dog maintained such a movement, without any movement, and even lost its breath.

Harry plucked up the courage to walk up to it and patted its body, only to find that the three-headed dog's fur and flesh were as stiff as a block of wood.

"Quirrell petrified Lu Wei with a curse we don't know, Harry." Hermione said softly, "We must be prepared, he is far more powerful than we thought."

Her tone seemed very heavy.
