The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 14 The Three-Headed Dog

"We are now at the door of the Charms classroom." Ryan said to Ron, "Sure enough, my worries are justified, but are pure-blood wizards usually so dishonest when facing a duel? "

"Absolutely not," Ron retorted, "Only Slytherin snakes, like us Weasleys, could do that."
Absolutely will not do such a thing. "

"The Weasley family? I think I may have met one. A Ministry of Magic official named Arthur Weasley who guided me to the wizarding world helped us a lot. He is really a warm and nice man."

"Thank you for complimenting my father." Ron smiled friendly at Ryan.

"Looks like we got rid of him."Hermione wiped the sweat off her brow and said, "I told you..."

Before she could finish, Harry interrupted her: "We have to go back to the dormitory quickly, we can't stay here anymore."

Judging by Harry's expression, he probably thought Hermione was right, but he didn't want to admit it to Hermione's face.

As soon as they stood up, a door in the hallway opened and Peeves floated out, squealing in delight at the sight of them.

"Nasty freshmen, wandering around in the middle of the night. Tsk, tsk, tsk, naughty, naughty, you will be arrested."

Just as Hermione was about to plead for mercy, Ryan grabbed her and ran forward, and at the same time shouted at Harry: "He's Peeves, it's useless to plead, run quickly."

Harry was still a little dazed, but Ron reacted, grabbed him and ran along the corridor quickly. At this time, everyone couldn't care less about hiding their footsteps, and fled along the corridor with all their strength.Peeves shouted from behind, "Students are not sleeping, in the corridor of Charms!"

The four fled to the end of the corridor together, only to find that the door at the end of the corridor was locked.The sound of Filch's footsteps came from the corridor behind.

"It's over!" Ron whimpered.They pushed the door desperately.And Ryan was ready to be caught. After all, compared with the three-headed dog, Filch seemed a little more amiable.

"Go away." Hermione rushed to the door suddenly.She snatched Harry's wand, knocked on the lock, and whispered, "Alahoo!" The lock clicked and the door swung open. "

Ryan's face changed suddenly, and before he had time to say anything, he was pulled in by Hermione.

He found sadly that women of this age group developed earlier than men, and he was caught off guard by Hermione and forced into the room.Then with a bang, the door was shut.

Sure enough, Peeves was Peeves, and he would ignore anyone in this school except for a little respect for the professor and the bloody Barrow.Filch was teased by Peeves but got nothing. He cursed angrily, but finally left with nothing to do.

Harry gasped and said, "He must think the door is locked and we're safe at last."

"I don't think so, look back." Ryan said with a trembling voice.

The big dog Lu Wei, who probably has the blood of the three-headed dog, appeared in front of everyone.

They were facing the eyes of a monstrously large dog so large that it filled all the space from the ceiling to the floor.It had three heads, three pairs of vicious, twitching eyes, three noses—twitching and trembling in their direction, and three drooling mouths that drool like sticky strings from a yellowed dog Teeth hang down.

It stood there motionless, with six eyes fixed on them.

Lane knew that the dog would fall asleep whenever he heard the music.At first he thought it would not be so difficult to deal with the dog knowing this weakness.But when he arrived at the scene, he discovered that when you face such a huge beast, you can't sing at all.

He glanced down, and sure enough, a door leading to the basement was trampled under by a dog.This should be Dumbledore's test for Harry. It is a bit suspicious that Peeves deliberately drove them in this direction today.

At least the headmaster should be able to order the ghosts in Hogwarts. If you really don't want people to come to this place, the headmaster can order the ghosts to drive the students who are close to this place to other directions.Think about those levels in the original book, except for the magic mirror at the end, the others are too child's play.It really doesn't look like it's used to deal with the Dark Lord, and those checkpoints are just facing the advantage of three passers, isn't it a bit too coincidental.

But fortunately, this is just the beginning of the main plot, so there is no need to worry about being considered a hero candidate by the principal for the time being, at least Neville is not considered a hero in the original text.

Then the door lock clicked open, and it turned out that Harry had turned the handle.Then they went out quickly and shut the door, but fortunately the dog was chained to the wall and could not be chased out.Then the four ran desperately upstairs to Gryffindor Tower.

On the way, Ryan quietly stuffed the sunshine crystals that he had put in his pocket before departure back to the grocery store.This was what he had prepared just in case. At that time, he hoped to use the Sunshine Crystal flash bomb to buy time for his escape.

Very smoothly, they ran to the door of the dormitory on the eighth floor, and the fat lady had already returned. She curiously asked how the four people who were in such a mess did this.

But everyone didn't want to talk, and then opened the door with a password.Stumbling back to the lounge, he collapsed on the sofa in the lounge.

The four were silent for a while, and Ron broke the silence: "Why did the school keep such a violent beast in the castle? Aren't they afraid of accidents?"

And Hermione took a breath at this time and stood up. "Don't you see it standing on a trapdoor? It's supposed to be guarding something."

Then she glared at the three boys. "I hope you feel lucky for today. We were all nearly killed - or worse, expelled from school. Well, if you don't object, I'm going to bed."

Well, as the innocent being implicated, Hermione was understandably annoyed, especially since this adventure nearly cost everyone their lives.

After sitting for a few more minutes, the three of them went upstairs together, and after saying goodnight at the door of the dormitory, they returned to their respective dormitories.

Ryan felt sore all over, so he didn't wash up, took off his clothes and went straight to bed.

In bed, he reflected on his actions today.Sure enough, he was still a little reckless, and the most important thing was that he was not strong enough, so even though he knew what would happen next, he was powerless to change it.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind.I have always been afraid of facing the strange world.So he didn't open the door to the new world in the grocery store, it seems that he can't go now.

After setting a new goal, Ryan turned over and slowly fell asleep.
