The wheelchair-bound warrior is speedrunning Hogwarts.

Harley's eyes lit up, and she smiled shyly, not forgetting to nudge Hermione a few times with her elbow. The two of them quickly started to pretend to be serious and flatter each other.

Seeing the two of them smiling at each other, Vera smiled. She was getting better and better at coaxing children!

……

As night fell, Vera, who was lying in bed, opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Harry and Hermione, who were already fast asleep, and quietly sat up from the bed.

Knox raised his head alertly from his cat bed, his amber eyes gleaming in the darkness.

"Shh..." Vera gestured for it to be quiet and moved quietly to the wheelchair.

I pushed the wheelchair to the window, where moonlight poured down like water.

Vera closed her eyes, her magical circuits flowing through her body as she sensed the movements within the castle.

Most of the teachers and students were already asleep, except for Filch and his cat, who were still patrolling the corridors.

Most importantly, they did not sense Voldemort's presence.

She didn't want to run into Quirrell, who had just returned from Hogsmeade, while she was taming him.

Vera took out her wand and gently tapped the armrest of her wheelchair: "Silently."

A flash of light, and the sound of the wheelchair moving was completely eliminated.

"Meow." Knox strolled up to her, looked up, and meowed at her.

Vera bent down and ruffled her hair, saying gently, "Let's go."

The dormitory door opened and closed silently. The fire in the common room had gone out, and only a few wall lamps provided dim lighting.

She carried Knox silently through the common room and down the corridor.

[Magic circuit activated, perception enhancement unlocked]

As the prompts appeared on her retina, her connection to Hogwarts Castle immediately became clear.

Although the castle's approval rating remained at 10% during this period, the longer she stayed at Hogwarts, the more she could feel that the entire castle was extending goodwill to her.

She can get the castle to do many things, like now—

Vera cautiously stopped to sense her surroundings at each corner, occasionally adjusting the direction of the stairs to avoid Filch, who patrolled at night.

With the castle's help, her nighttime stroll was as easy and carefree as if she were in an uninhabited place.

Finally, they stopped in front of a familiar door—the room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor.

The brass ring on the doorknob gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and heavy breathing could be faintly heard coming from the crack in the door.

Vera took a deep breath and used a lock-picking spell to open the door.

The moment the door was pushed open, Lou Williams' three heads immediately snapped up alertly, his six eyes gleaming dangerously in the darkness.

“It’s us, Lu Wei,” Vera said softly.

Lu Wei's middle head sniffed and let out a low growl. The left head eagerly moved closer, while the right head remained wary, staring at her.

He's truly as dedicated and responsible as ever.

Vera remained calm, loosening her grip on the cat in her arms slightly. Knox nimbly jumped down from her lap, walked confidently to Luwei's side, and affectionately rubbed against its front paws.

Louie lowered all three of its heads at the same time, gently sniffing the audacious cat.

Knox wasn't afraid at all; instead, he patted Louie's nose with his paw, as if to say hello.

Look at her Knox, he's a master at training dogs!

After confirming that her cat was perfectly healthy, Vera's trust in Knox skyrocketed, and she was no longer surprised by any strange occurrences she witnessed.

Anyway, her cat is the most amazing cat!

She pushed the wheelchair slowly closer to Louie, took out a piece of meat she had prepared from her pocket, and threw it over.

The three heads immediately became excited, vying to lower their heads and devour the food, their huge tails wagging and emitting a joyful whimper.

“Good boy,” Vera said with satisfaction, looking at him. “Eat slowly, there will be plenty more later.”

Louie had become accustomed to the fact that when he ate, this small human would just quietly watch from the side.

Even when he sensed Vera's wheelchair moving slightly towards him, he still didn't raise his head and continued to eat heartily.

This is exactly the effect Vera wanted.

While Louie was focused on the food, she immediately activated the magic circuit, slowly reached out her hand, and the moment she touched him, she began to connect with Louie's consciousness.

The magic circuits were operating at full power, and golden patterns flowed beneath Vera's skin, eventually converging at her fingertips and slowly seeping into Luwei's fur.

In an instant, a strange connection was re-established between her and the three-headed dog.

This time, she was no longer in a hurry. Before Louie could express his dissatisfaction, she tried her best to soothe the emotions coming from the three heads.

At the same time, she invoked the previously constructed mental anchor point and, through the link between her and Louie, actively guided Louie's consciousness into her mental anchor point.

In an instant, Lou Williams' three heads froze, his six eyes wide open, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

In its mind, a vast forest suddenly appeared, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, a gentle breeze blowing, and the distant sound of a babbling brook.

In an instant, its three heads simultaneously emitted an excited purring sound, and its tail slammed heavily against the ground.

Faced with this situation, Vera could only try her best to hold the creature's flailing head tightly, attempting to communicate with its consciousness.

Gradually, the left and middle heads stopped moving, their consciousness becoming completely absorbed in the process.

Only the right side of the head continued to struggle, constantly trying to reject her mental connection.

But... it can't escape now.

Vera, who was finally free from the need to support herself in her wheelchair and continue moving around with it, didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from her forehead as she continued to intensify the emotions within the anchor point.

She had previously poured a lot of emotion into this anchor point: the carefree sense of freedom, the joy of running, the pleasure of playing... all of which the big dog couldn't resist.

“Relax,” she soothed it softly. “There’s plenty of space for you to run, cool water for you to play in, and most importantly, you’ll gain freedom…”

The language of the spiritual world needs no translation; it can be directly transmitted to Louie's three heads.

Gradually, the right side of Lou Williams' head also stopped struggling, and the hostility in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by an inescapable obsession.

"Would you like to go here?" Vera asked softly, voicing the most crucial question. "I can take you there, and only I can take you there."

Her already droopy eyelids slumped completely, and the three-headed dog nuzzled against her affectionately, unconsciously purring.

Vera smiled slightly; the connection and synergy between them reached its peak at that moment.

She could sense that the thoughts of Louie's three heads had completely synchronized, and it was wholeheartedly accepting her.

"Begin taming," she whispered, strengthening the connection of the magic circuits.

[Taming success rate: Medium to high; Estimated time: 10 minutes]

Vera raised an eyebrow. So it seems that the taming time is not fixed, but depends on the strength and the other party's level of trust in her?

The baby dragons inside the eggs haven't hatched yet, so it only takes three minutes to finish.

As for the three-headed dog in front of her... if she hadn't calmed it down beforehand, the time and difficulty would probably have increased even further.

[Taming progress: 10%...15%...20%...]

As the taming progressed slowly, Vera could feel Luwei's consciousness gradually opening up to her.

Although she could still sense that the three heads were thinking differently, they were all now conveying a growing dependence on and closeness to her.

[Taming progress: 55%...70%...85%...]

Louie's massive body trembled slightly, his six eyes half-closed, completely immersed in the mental world she had created.

It would even unconsciously scratch the ground with its claws, as if it were really running in the forest.

From Vera's omniscient perspective, she could indeed see Louie's consciousness having a great time in the scene constructed by the anchor point.

She smiled, conjured a frisbee on the spot, called out Lou Williams' name, and gently tossed the frisbee into the air.

Lou Williams was initially stunned, staring at the frisbee for a while, before all three heads simultaneously became excited and raced after it.

Then, he picked up the decoy and ran quickly toward her.

[Taming progress: 95%...98%...100%]

[Taming successful!]

[Gain control of Cerberus Lou Williams]

Vera let out a long sigh, withdrew her hand, and the connection of the magic circuit was broken.

Louie's three heads shook simultaneously, as if they had just woken up from a beautiful dream, their eyelids still drooping with a hint of reluctance.

Vera rubbed its fur, and all six eyes opened fully, locking onto the person in front of them, while its tail wagged happily.

It lowered its head, and its three heads obediently bowed, allowing her to stroke them.

"Good boy." Vera smiled and ruffled each of its three heads. "From now on, we're friends."

Louie let out a cheerful whimper, her massive body crouching down, her three heads nuzzling affectionately against her.

Knox nimbly jumped onto Lou Williams' back, proudly wagging his tail as if to boast.

Vera smiled and patted the cat's head: "Of course, you deserve a lot of credit."

Her gaze shifted from them to the trapdoor on the floor—the entrance to the secret chamber where the Philosopher's Stone was located.

Now, she can go down and investigate whenever she wants.

But she's not in a hurry at all now.

“Louwei,” she gently stroked the middle head of the three-headed dog, “if a stranger with an unpleasant smell comes, don’t hesitate, just attack… but for others, just scare them a little.”

The three heads nodded at the same time, and their tails were held high and swaying.

Knox leaped off Louie's back and landed lightly on Vera's lap, his amber eyes gleaming in the darkness.

“We should go back.” Vera glanced at her pocket watch; it was almost one in the morning.

Just as she was about to push her wheelchair away, Louie gently nibbled at the hem of her clothes, while the dog's other two heads rubbed against her arm with reluctance.

"Good boy, I'll come see you again soon." Vera couldn't help but chuckle, gently comforting it, and casually took out the last few pieces of jerky from her pocket and fed them to it.

Before leaving the room, she took one last look back at the now quiet Cerberus, and gently closed the door.

The corridor was silent, with moonlight streaming through the high windows, casting a silvery glow on the castle's corridors.

Vera, draped in an invisibility cloak, walked slowly down the corridor, with Knox gracefully following beside her.

When they returned to the common room, even the plump lady was asleep.

Vera read out the command and tiptoed through the empty lounge back to her bedroom.

Harley and Hermione were still fast asleep in bed, completely unaware that she had left.

She quietly climbed into bed and looked down at the cat hesitating by the bedside.

Knox called out and tentatively jumped up. Seeing that she no longer wanted him to get off, he curled up into a ball next to her, feeling at ease.

[Mana Reserves: 205/205]

Seeing the notification from her retina, Vera was more excited than ever before, and even though it was late at night, she was not sleepy at all.

Not only were magic power and magic circuits improved, but the three basic attributes of strength, agility, and magic also increased by one point each.

No wonder she felt more relaxed than usual when she got out of the wheelchair.

More importantly, she also unlocked a pet panel:
