Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 101, 99. Did the Cerberus use a frenzied clawing attack?

"Do we...do we really have to go in, Brother D?"

Looking at the dark, empty corridor before him, Ron gripped his wand tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Led by Dudley, they arrived at the place they hadn't been able to visit during their previous nighttime stroll.

The corridor on the right side of the fourth floor.

Ron's tense expression also affected Malfoy and Harry's emotions.

Dumbledore's words before the start of the school year still echoed in my ears.

Anyone who does not wish to encounter an accident or die a painful and tragic death should not approach the corridor on the right.

"Of course, this is Professor Dumbledore's test."

As he spoke, Dali took out several pendants from his pocket and distributed them to the others, telling them to wear them.

"What is this?"

Everyone is puzzled.

"These are amulets that will bring you good luck." As he spoke, Dali led the way inside. The others exchanged glances, puzzled but still put the amulets on their bodies and followed immediately.

At the end of the corridor was a locked door.

Dali didn't even bother to put his hands together; he simply grabbed the lock and snapped it in two. The seemingly sturdy lock instantly broke in two.

"The Araquoise Hole (Physics)"

The door creaked open.

What came into view was a gigantic dog with three heads.

"A three-headed dog."

It was the same dog that bit Snape.

At this moment, the three-headed dog was looking down at the group from its high vantage point, staring at them with its six large, clear yellow eyes.

Under the watchful gaze of the three-headed dog, Harry and his friends were so frightened that they stood frozen in place.

Because they were so close, they could even smell the foul odor emanating from the three gaping maws of the Cerberus.

They were just novice wizards who frequented the magical world, and had never seen anything like this before. Under the gaze of the three-headed dog, they stood frozen in place as if they had been frozen in place.

This is someone who could even bite Snape; it's simply not something first-year wizards can fight against.

Fortunately, the three-headed dog had a thick iron chain around its neck, preventing it from running out of the room on its own or attacking them.

"You guys go over there quickly, leave this to me."

Dali's voice was like a shot of adrenaline, giving the group courage in an invisible way.

He took out an iron ingot from his pouch, clasped his hands together, and the ingot transformed into countless chains that bound the three-headed dog's limbs from different directions.

Harry and the others took the opportunity to open the trapdoor next to the three-headed dog and jumped in one by one.

Before entering the doorway, Hermione glanced at Dudley with slight concern.

Seeing Dali smiling at her calmly, she jumped down.

After confirming that Hermione and the others had left, Dudley untied the chains binding Cerberus.

With his body relaxed, the three-headed dog immediately pounced on Dudley.

Their duty is to guard this room and prevent anyone from entering. Several people have already gone in, but not all of them can.

The next moment, all three heads froze in shock.

Dudley's original height of 1.8 meters had ballooned to 2.3 meters, as if he had been inflated like a balloon.

He walked unhurriedly to the three-headed dog, and just as two of its heads lunged at him, he grabbed one of its heads with one hand and slammed it against the dog.

"He likes to bite people."

thump.

"I'll teach you to bite."

Another collision.

thump.

"Try taking another bite."

Another touch.

thump.

A series of muffled sounds echoed throughout the room.

When Dudley let go, the two heads fell to the ground with a thud. They seemed to see a sky full of stars, twinkling and circling around their heads, their eyes crooked, mouths drooping, and tongues sticking out involuntarily, looking like they had just had a terrible time.

A familiar sensation, a familiar force, a terrifying, monstrous power.

At that moment, the middle head that hadn't been attacked remembered its owner, the guy named Hagrid.

Hagrid used to play with them like that, always making them miserable, which left him with a psychological trauma.

Dudley's move immediately intimidated Cerberus, preventing its remaining head from attacking rashly. Cerberus stared intently at Dudley, its eyes filled with fear.

It may be big, but it's not a stupid dog.

It's still possible to tell whether you can win or lose.

Dudley took a step forward, and it took a step back, then another step forward, then another step back, until it reached the edge of the wall.

Then Dudley took another step forward.

There's no turning back.

This step seemed to trigger some mechanism in Cerberus, and it let out a mournful howl.

"Awoo~"

Then it closed its dog eyes tightly, frantically waved its limbs in front of the air, and began to thrash about in place.

Did the three-headed dog use a crazy, frantic scratching tactic?

Or was a water splash jump used?

Dudley had no idea what was wrong with the other party. He glanced at the three-headed dog suspiciously. He could understand magical creature language, but he couldn't understand the unconscious, random barking. He decisively opened the trapdoor and jumped down.

He really had no intention of beating up Cerberus again.

But the other animal's erratic behavior made Dali very suspicious that it might be infected with rabies.

I hope Snape is alright.

After all, he had been bitten on the thigh before, and it was a penetrating wound.

After Dudley had walked for a while, the three-headed dog closed its eyes and sniffed around. When it found that Dudley's scent was getting fainter and fainter, it slowly opened one eye and quietly looked around.

gone?

After confirming that Dali was really not there, he opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, which was very humane.

It was quite certain that the other party possessed power similar to that of its owner.

If you keep fighting, you'll definitely get beaten up.

Most importantly, it had just caught a whiff of rock-skin cake on the other person.

That's right, it's definitely Hagrid's rock crust cake.

Let's just pretend we don't know.

Everyone calls it a silly dog, but it's not silly at all; sometimes it's incredibly clever.

Before it could even wake up the two dogs whose heads had been knocked unconscious, it smelled the scent of a stranger again.

"No matter who it is, they'll pay for this!"

The three-headed dog grinned, revealing its sharp teeth.

However, after waiting for a while, no one came. Instead, a melodious harp melody drifted from outside, echoing throughout the room.

Not long after, a harp stretched out its two legs and hopped in.

The remaining head, as if under a hypnotic spell, slowly, slowly slumped down, its eyelids growing heavier and heavier, until a loud snore filled the air.

At this moment, a man wearing a headband similar to that of Afanti cautiously peeked half his head out from the edge of the door, trying to observe the situation inside the room.

Only after confirming that the three-headed dog was sound asleep did they feel relieved and changed from tiptoeing to taking big strides.

Cerberus can be hypnotized by music, a fact he managed to extract from that big idiot Hagrid at a considerable cost—he paid with a dragon egg.

Unfortunately, the man wearing the Nasreddin Hodja headdress didn't know that while Cerberus can normally be hypnotized by music, it might not be so if it suffers a mild concussion.

Just as he opened the trapdoor, the three-headed dog's two heads, which had been stunned by the impact, suddenly awoke. One eye looked up and the other down, its neck tilted, drool dripping as it approached him. Then, it opened its mouth towards his buttocks.
