Hogwarts: This fairy tale is too eerie

Hagrid continued, "Luffy's been stuck in one place lately, and he seems so listless, just sleeping all day!"

"I was thinking... Louie loves music. If it could hear some good music, it would definitely cheer up again!"

"Wow~ Pets that like listening to music must be so cute!" Harry said innocently.

For some reason, upon hearing this, Hagrid's expression turned strange, as if he had some unspeakable secret, and he muttered something like "a little bit bigger than the average cute one."

Harry was confused.

He looked at the hound Tooth, who was lying on the floor panting and licking cookie crumbs, and couldn't help but imagine a dog that looked similar, huddled alone in a small dark room.

I immediately felt the same way.

"Can we go see Fluffy?" Harry asked eagerly. "When we don't have classes, we can go and keep Fluffy company! He'll be so happy!"

Upon hearing this, Thor glanced at him and nodded in admiration: "Truly worthy of being called the savior, your courage is commendable."

Harry: ?

It's just going to see a lonely dog, how is that so courageous?

Could it be that the dog is going to eat them?

Haha, just kidding.

"Oh... Harry!"

Hagrid was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears, and he hesitated while rubbing his large, fan-like hands together.

It's not because Lou Williams is a dangerous creature.

Louie is so cute and obedient, how could he possibly be in danger?

He swore on Merlin's underwear that there was absolutely no risk!

Hagrid hesitated because his rational mind told him that he shouldn't let his students get involved with anything related to the Philosopher's Stone...

But Dumbledore agreed...

But according to the regulations—

Anyway, Dumbledore said it was okay!!

Hagrid's eyes burned as he gripped Thor's "appointment letter" tightly!

Dumbledore, with his uncanny foresight, surely granted Thor this extraordinary power so that Thor would also be involved in protecting the Philosopher's Stone!

He's so stupid, really!

They actually thought Dumbledore just wanted Thor to interact more with his classmates and professors!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Achoo!"

Dumbledore sneezed, sniffed, and muttered, "Heh, who's talking about me?"

He gazed beyond the high platform at the rolling grass like ocean waves, and murmured to himself:

"Thor might have become friends with Hagrid by now, right? Hagrid's magical creatures are always so lovable~"

Hopefully, Saul will find friendship and kindness in his interactions with others.

That's why he granted Thor special privileges; he had no other requests.

"As long as the Philosopher's Stone can be properly protected until the end this semester... haha, nothing bad will happen."

Dumbledore thought with relief.

—In Hagrid's cabin.

"I completely understand what you mean, Mr. Dumbledore!"

Thor will join in protecting the Philosopher's Stone!

Hagrid took a deep breath and clenched his fist, which was as big as a football.

Harry kept backing away, afraid that Hagrid might accidentally accomplish Voldemort's unfinished feat.

Hagrid whirled around, his massive body nearly knocking over the brazier behind him, and accidentally elbowed Ron, who was just about to wake up.

Ron: "Hmm, is that demon gone? —Pfft!!"

KO

Hagrid exclaimed excitedly, "I'll take you to see Luigi tonight, Saul! I saw on that piece of paper that it says you can go out at night!"

"I understand!!"

Hagrid winked at Thor.

Thor raised his eyebrows high: "..."

What does it mean?

Thor took a slight step back, a standard smile on his face: "Then, the librarian accepts your commission."

May your wish come true.

Nighttime stroll?!

Harry, listening nearby, was so anxious he was practically jumping for joy!

No wonder they're considered the "best" of Gryffindor! They can legally go out at night during the first week of school!

"Can I go too?" Harry asked eagerly, looking at Hagrid with anticipation.

Hagrid: "Haha, no way."

Harry: "..."

He choked up for a moment, then looked at Saul pleadingly, his eyes shining with earnestness.

Thor: "That's the look, Harry! If Professor Snape gives you trouble, just stare at him like that."

Harry: ?

What does it mean?

"So, can I come with you...?"

After a moment of silence, Thor, under Harry's earnest gaze, slowly said, "I'm sorry, Harry, but it's not possible."

This was a special privilege granted to him by Dumbledore. He could certainly forcibly take Harry out, but if he got caught, it would be considered a violation of school rules.

and......

"It will worry Dumbledore, won't it?"

Thor thought to himself.

Once his "consultant" career takes off, he might be able to recruit a few more assistants.

Upon receiving a negative answer, Harry's bright eyes gradually dimmed, but he didn't say anything, only nodding in disappointment.

Thor could almost see a pair of invisible ears hanging down from the top of Harry's head.

He softened his tone and comforted her, "You'll see the 'cute' Louie sooner or later."

"But..." Thor smirked and said mysteriously, "I just don't know if you'll still like it as much then."

Harry was puzzled.

Is Lu Wei very ugly? Or does he have scars on his body?

With that thought, Harry's eyes lit up, and he said even more firmly, "No matter what Fluffy is like, I'll love him!"

"Oh! Harry!!!"

Hagrid looked like he was about to faint from emotion.

Thor stood by, smiling without saying a word.

......

After that, the three changed the topic again, from "what's in the Forbidden Forest" to "how to legally raise a dragon".

"So, if you wish, I can apply to the Ministry of Magic in the name of the Grimm family to establish a dragon sanctuary at Hogwarts."

Thor shrugged and, under Hagrid's almost fiery gaze, casually sipped his strong, grassy tea.

Getting a dragon is not difficult.

Although the Wizarding Law does not allow private individuals to keep dragons, it does not prohibit organizations from "protecting" dragons in their own name!

If the controls are really that strict, then it can only mean that the people in the Ministry of Magic are blind and can't see the dragons imprisoned in Gringotts.

Hogwarts is a large and wealthy family, the Forbidden Forest has plenty of space, and Hagrid will take good care of it, so it won't be difficult to do.

"No...don't tempt me anymore!"

Hagrid abruptly retreated, as if refusing the devil's invitation to dinner, panting heavily with his eyes wide open.

Thor... he can easily lead someone down the abyss of depravity!

Hagrid closed his eyes, waved his hand, and dismissed the dragon that had appeared in his mind... Oh, he would name it "Nober"!

"Wait, good heavens! It's already so late!" Hagrid looked out the window, then snapped back to reality and quickly used his large, fan-like hand to push Thor and the others towards the door. "You almost missed dinner! Let's get back to the castle!"

As he spoke, he winked at Saul again:

"I'll come find you at the Gryffindor dormitory at 11:30! Don't tell anyone else, I don't want people to think you're getting special treatment!"

Hagrid looked at Thor with a worried expression.

Thor raised the corners of his mouth and nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Hagrid stuffed a large bag of rock cakes into their arms, saying they should take them back and share them with their friends.

"...We can give it to Malfoy; it'll be perfect for knocking out his front teeth."

Harry chuckled and gently nudged Thor's shoulder.

I was both nervous and eager to befriend this incredible great wizard.

Fortunately, the great wizard was somewhat eccentric.

But after all, he's a Gryffindor.

Thor turned to Harry and gave him a light smile.

The heavy rock-skin cakes floated up and were all stuffed into the fire demon's mouth—leaving one piece uneaten.

"When we get back, we'll feed it to Ron's rats," Thor said with a smile.

"Haha, that would be really fun," Harry laughed.

For some reason, Thor never called Ron's pet "Spotty," but just called it "Mouse, Mouse," with a tone that always seemed to carry a cold, contemptuous undertone.

But before Harry could think it through, Thor had already started walking towards the castle.

...Perhaps it's just my imagination.

Harry thought to himself, not caring, and quickly dragged the dazed Ron to catch up with Thor.

After dinner, we waited until 11 p.m.

Thor and Hagrid headed towards the inaccessible fourth-floor corridor.

As soon as I stepped in—

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!"

The gold pocket watch chimed with a clear ticking sound!

[—A fantastical entity discovered! "Even as a skeleton, I'll still form a band"—The Bremen Band!]

A skeleton?

Isn't it a fantasy form of the three-headed dog?

Thor's eyes lit up, and his heart began to pound!

He strode over quickly, snapped his fingers to unlock the door, and pushed it open with a creak!
