Chapter 370 The three-headed dog guarding the treasure
The corridor on the right side of the fourth floor of the castle, which is off-limits to students, is actually no different from the corridors elsewhere in the castle. However, because Principal Dumbledore banned students from entering during the opening dinner, the place was completely unpopular and looked eerie.
“It feels like there’s nothing special here!” Truman also followed with his friends and closed the wooden door behind him to prevent others from discovering that someone had broken into the restricted area of the corridor.
After the door closed, the view of the corridor immediately became very dim.
“Why does Principal Dumbledore ban other students from coming here?” A boy with freckles next to Truman couldn’t help but ask.
Everyone cannot understand that according to Dumbledore, anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and die a painful death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor, which is here.
That means there will be something threatening their lives in this corridor?
"There must be some secret hidden there." Fred had already taken out the wand from his pocket, chanted a spell to light the tip of the wand, and began to look around, trying to figure out what the so-called danger was.
Others also lit up their wands and looked around warily. The atmosphere around them suddenly became solemn.
“Everyone knows there are secrets hidden here.” The freckled boy next to Truman said angrily, “Why are the senior students who came in just now gone?”
Lee Jordan quietly walked up to the freckled boy and whispered in a low voice: "Perhaps, he fell into a trap and died miserably."
Since the last time he braved Gryffindor's level, he has been quite calm in the situations he encountered.
The freckles boy was startled by Li Qiaodan and almost screamed.
When he came to his senses, his cheeks immediately turned red and he glared at Lee Jordan.
“This is no fun,” Truman scolded.
“Since Dumbledore said it’s dangerous here, you should stay vigilant. I don’t want to see you accidentally die tragically in front of me.”
Although his words were meant to intimidate them, Truman did not want anyone to have any surprises.
“Okay, stop making trouble, let’s take a look around. I always feel that there will be unexpected surprises here.” Albert put his hand on Lee Jordan’s shoulder and signaled him to stop joking with everyone.
“I didn’t expect him to be that timid.”
Fred and George both couldn't help laughing and stepped forward to look for the so-called danger.
Albert shook his head helplessly, waved his wand, and the torch on the wall next to him was ignited, and a large area of the originally dark corridor was illuminated by the light of the torch.
There were no other classrooms on both sides of this corridor, and they encountered no danger as they walked along. What caught their eyes was a door at the end of the corridor.
Perhaps the secret is hidden inside the door.
Just when everyone was about to go over to check what was going on inside the door, the wooden door was suddenly knocked open, and several senior students ran out of the door screaming.
The next moment, in full view of everyone, a monster-like big dog squeezed out of the door. One of its heads bit the leg of the senior student who was running at the end. Amid people's screams and exclamations, he prepared to kill him. Drag the unfortunate guy through the door.
To be honest, Albert was also shocked by Lu Wei's size. This guy was already so big that he could fill the space from the ceiling to the floor. Its three heads and three pairs of vicious eyes were all staring at these uninvited outsiders.
Soon, Lu Wei quickly came back to his senses. A deafening roar echoed in the corridor. It was about to move towards everyone, scaring everyone else into screaming and running away.
Albert narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his wand, and a ball of light suddenly exploded in the corridor. After Lu Wei let go of the student who was bitten on the leg, he immediately waved his wand and killed the bitten student. The unfortunate guy was dragged back from the floor.
However, Albert had already set up a transparent magic shield between the two parties. The three-headed dog hit the magic shield, looking very angry, scratching the invisible magic shield with his claws.
Albert had no doubt that the big man in front of him had forgotten about him, but he was absolutely sure that the unlucky guy he had just pulled back had fainted from fear.
“Quick, quick, drag the person away quickly.” Albert urged.
Most of the students who originally entered this corridor had already run away. Fred and the others who were still standing here seemed to be considering whether to use a stun spell on the big dog in front of them, but after hearing what Albert said, they decided to follow his words. Do it, one person at a time, holding the student's shoulders and thighs and carrying him away quickly. After Albert finally left the corridor, he closed the wooden door again.
Now they know why this place is off limits.
"You saved Croun. Thank God. How on earth did you save Croun from that big dog." The two students who were the first to run away turned back and saw the man who was dragged away by the big dog. My friend, I almost cried with joy.
"You actually left your companions behind." The freckled boy next to Truman looked at them with disdain, as if he hadn't turned around and ran away just now.
"I know why Dumbledore didn't let people come here. We were almost bitten to death by it just now." Both of them were a little embarrassed, and one of them said, covering his chest.
"What on earth do they want to do, lock such a monster in the school!" Truman gasped, frightened and angry, and he was obviously frightened just now.
“They all slipped away.” Fred curled his lips in disdain, looked at Albert and asked, “What should I do with this guy? He seems to have fainted.”
“You think everyone is as unafraid of death as you are.” Someone muttered in a low voice.
None of Albert's people escaped, and he even rescued them easily.
"Okay, calm down guys, send your friend to the campus hospital first. His leg was bitten. I hope Madam Pomfrey can cure him." Albert interrupted the quarrel of several people. Only now did I notice who the guy who was bitten on the thigh was.
Crown Prewett.
Well, the last prefect was the guy he met when he first came to Hogwarts in the first grade.
It seems that the student union president was not elected this time.
“They are not Gryffindor students,” Fred said quietly.
"I know."
Albert has long noticed that these three people are all prefects.
The last prefect of Gryffindor, the last prefect of Ravenclaw, and the last prefect of Hufflepuff. None of these three were elected as student council president, so why not come together for excitement? ?
“Please help me take him to the campus hospital.” Fred said to Truman.
After Fred and others carried the person away, Albert looked at the two people who looked unhappy and asked, "You used a spell on that three-headed dog, right?"
"The coma spell, but it seems to have no effect. It just shook its head and woke up." One of them was still a little frightened, but he still expressed his gratitude to Albert again for saving Crown Prewett.
That guy actually tried to delay the three-headed dog because of the queen. As a result, he almost had his leg bitten off and even lost his life because he did not have the halo of the protagonist.
“Use the coma spell?” Albert raised his eyebrows and asked again.
"We saw that big dog seemed to be guarding something, and there was a trap door inside." The Ravenclaw boy suddenly said, "I bet ten Galleons that Principal Dumbledore will definitely put something Where is the valuable thing?"
"Probably, but our thin arms and legs are not enough to serve as lunch for that big dog." Albert did not deny this, and walked towards the medical room. Before leaving, he turned back to the two of them and said, "You guys have to go together. ?"
