The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 277
Albert followed Professor Smith and walked forward silently. After turning a corner, he stopped in front of the stone statue of Griffin.

"Chocolate Frog!"

Professor Smith spoke the password to the stone statue in front of him.

The statue of the griffin came to life, leaping aside, the wall behind it split in two, revealing the upward stairway.

"Follow."

Professor Smith passed through the gap in the wall and stepped up the spiral stone staircase. Albert hurried to follow, and as he stepped up the stairs, the gap closed behind him.

The next moment, the stairs rose slowly and automatically, bringing the two of them to the door of the principal's office.

Professor Smith knocked on the door.

The door opened quietly, and the two walked back and forth into the principal's office.

This is the second time Albert has come to the principal's office.It was no different from the last time I came, the portraits of witches and wizards on the surrounding walls started pretending to sleep again after they stepped in front and back.

"Rowena, what's the matter?"

Dumbledore was writing a letter at his desk, looked up at the two people who came in, and asked.

"Albert has something to ask you. About Hagrid, I think he should tell you by himself!" Professor Smith moved his body and asked Albert to tell Dumbledore the reason.

"Hagrid?" When Dumbledore turned his gaze to Albert, the parchment on the table had been automatically put into an envelope and covered with sealing wax.

He took the letter and handed it to Phoenix standing on the sycamore branch, and Fox flew away with the letter in his mouth.

Is this using the phoenix as an owl messenger?

Albert took his eyes away from Phoenix and began to tell Dumbledore about Hagrid:
Hagrid secretly raised a three-headed dog named Lu Wei in the Forbidden Forest, and his three-headed dog suddenly ran away, probably wandering around the school.

He spoke very carefully, including that Hagrid didn't want to cause trouble for Dumbledore, and now he was running around all over the Forbidden Forest, looking for Lu Wei's whereabouts.

Albert observed the changes in Dumbledore's expression while talking, but the headmaster's expression remained unchanged, and he still stood there quietly listening to Albert finish his story.

"Principal Dumbledore, you won't kick Hagrid out of school, will you!" Albert asked pretending to be worried.

"No. Mr. Anderson, your judgment and handling are correct. Gryffindor will add 20 points." Dumbledore smiled at Albert and comforted him: "Three-headed dogs are indeed a dangerous kind of magic Creature, you are doing the right thing, we'd better find the three-headed dog and put it in place before it causes trouble."

"Principal, what are you going to do with the three-headed dog?" Albert asked again.

"Send it back to its hometown, that's the best choice." Dumbledore didn't hide how he dealt with the three-headed dog, and said to Professor Smith: "Mr. Rowena, are you free now?"

"Of course I'm free, if you need help." Smith said with a smile, "I will go into the Forbidden Forest anytime to help find the three-headed dog."

"Well, let's go to Hagrid!" Dumbledore said and was about to leave.

"Principal, can I go with you?" Albert said quickly, "I promised Hagrid that I would help him find Lu Wei."

Dumbledore took a deep look at Albert, nodded and said, "Then come!"

Albert has great confidence in Dumbledore, and with his help, he should be able to find Lu Wei soon.

This mission is done.

The three left the castle and walked towards the hut outside the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was having lunch, when he heard a knock on the door, he stuffed the bread in his mouth into his mouth, and reached out to open the door, "Albert, why do you..."

His voice paused, and when he looked at Dumbledore standing outside the door, he became a little flustered. His eyes moved down and fell on Albert beside Dumbledore, and he immediately knew what was going on.

"Sorry Hagrid, but I think it's best to let the headmaster know about this before Lu Wei gets you into trouble." Albert apologized, "I don't want to see Lu Wei hurting Hogwarts students , and I don’t want you to get into trouble and be kicked out of school.”

He felt that after taking Felicia, his acting skills exploded immediately, and it would be no problem to win an Oscar.

"Mr. Anderson's judgment is right, we'd better find the three-headed dog quickly." Dumbledore smiled.

"What should we do?" Hagrid gave up his position at the door and asked uneasily, "Albert and I searched in the woods all morning, but we still haven't found any trace of Lu Wei."

"We'll find it." Dumbledore reassured, "Rowenar, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about three-headed dogs. However, we can go to an expert in this field." Professor Smith suggested, "Professor Kettleber is an expert in the protection of magical creatures, and may be able to give us some advice. "

"That's a good idea." Dumbledore nodded at Smith's suggestion.

The four of them entered the Forbidden Forest together and walked towards Professor Kettlebo's cabin.

"Albus, why are you here?" Professor Kettleber, who was feeding Flobber caterpillars to his cutie, asked the four of them suspiciously.

"Something happened." Dumbledore said about the three-headed dog.

"Three-headed dog?" Professor Kettlebo was very interested in it. "So, that's the black shadow I saw last time? I was still investigating what kind of footprints were there?"

"Professor Ketelber, do you have a way to find it?" Hagrid asked hastily.

"Unfortunately, it's not easy to find it in the Forbidden Forest." Professor Kettlebo still gave them some advice, "It's hard to find food now, you can enter from this way."

"Food? It's the same as Albert's proposal." Hagrid muttered in his heart. They had been searching all morning, but they couldn't find any useful clues.

"We should go." Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about how to lure the three-headed dog out. "I'll let the house elves prepare some fresh meat."

"Principal, can't you use reverse tracking magic?" Albert asked tentatively.

"Unfortunately, no." Dumbledore would naturally track the magic in reverse, but the problem is that he knows nothing about Lu Wei now, and it is difficult to use magic tracking directly.

"Can we try using the Flying Curse? Summon Lu Wei directly." Albert continued to suggest, Dumbledore has the blessing of the Elder Wand, maybe it will be successful.

"Of course." Dumbledore stopped suddenly, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"I tried the principal, but it didn't work." Albert explained, "My magic power is not enough, the spell may be resisted."

"This is not surprising at all. Large magical creatures are very resistant to spells." Professor Smith explained, "Also, we don't know where it is now, and it may fail if it is too far away."

"We can cast spells together." Dumbledore said suddenly, "If the three-headed dog is not far from here, it should be successful."

"How to cast a spell together?" Albert asked curiously.

"Nian Lu Wei is coming, count to three, and just read it together!" Professor Smith explained.

"As long as Lu Wei appears, I can subdue Lu Wei immediately." Hagrid promised, patting his chest.

"Then let's get started."

All three drew out their wands, looked at each other, and began to count down.

"Lu Wei is flying!" They shouted in unison.
