Admiral of Hogwarts
040 3-headed dog
There is a huge dog in the room where Hugo and the others are hiding now. The dog is so big that it fills all the space from the ceiling to the floor. It has three heads, three pairs of vicious eyes, three noses, and three drooling mouths. The saliva hangs from the yellowed dog teeth like sticky ropes.
But the strange thing is that the dog did not pounce directly as everyone imagined, but bowed its back and looked at Hugo and the others with a vigilant look, while letting out a low purr in its throat.
"What, what's going on?" Ron asked tremblingly, looking at the six big eyes that flickered in and out of the darkness. "Why doesn't this big guy rush over and is still retreating?"
At this time, Hugo noticed that the three-headed dog in the room had been staring at Veneto nervously. It was obvious that Veneto, who already knew what was in the room when she entered the house, was on high alert to protect the admiral, and this state of being ready to deploy her ship uniform at any time gave her a dangerous aura.
Although as a ship girl, Veneto usually tries her best to restrain her aura and make herself look like an ordinary human girl, but now that she has adopted this battle-prepared posture, the little bit of murderous aura revealed makes the three-headed dog... She felt a fatal threat from her body, which is why the three-headed dog neither rushed up nor barked, but crouched there in an extremely vigilant posture. .
Fortunately, there was basically no light in this place, so Harry and the others didn't notice this. However, in order to ensure that this secret was not discovered, Hugo changed the topic: "Didn't you see the trap door at the foot of this big dog? I guess it is guarding this door. Maybe we just don't show any concern for that door. If we are interested, this big dog will not attack us.”
"It seems like that." After hearing Hugo's words, Harry mustered up the courage to look at the place under the big dog's feet. As expected, he saw the trap door reinforced by metal bars that the dog was stepping on with its left front paw. . There is also a metal ring on the top of the door that is used to pull the door up.
"Then how long do we have to wait?" Ron asked tremblingly as he stood on the edge. He was leaning against the door of the room and shivering in front of the big dog. If it weren't for the door supporting him behind him, he would have probably been there by now. Lying on the ground.
"I think since this big dog didn't charge up, it means we can wait here a little longer." Hugo said while forcing himself to remain calm, although he believed that under the protection of Veneto, the dog would not be killed. No harm can be done to him, but people will always be nervous when such a big dog stares at you in front of you. "Don't forget that Filch is still waiting for us at the door. I think you don't want to be caught by him."
"In this case, let's wait for another five minutes." Veneto said to everyone present while staring at the three-headed dog. "I don't think the dog will pounce for a while."
"I understand." The three Gryffindor boys replied tremblingly, and then everyone waited quietly with bated breath. But after waiting for less than three minutes, Ron couldn't control his inner fear and walked to the door, turned the door handle, opened the door, and then everyone exited the house together.
Veneto was the last one to exit the room. Just after she walked out of the room backwards and closed the door, there was first a banging sound inside the door, and then there was the sound of claws scratching the door.
When everyone left the room, they found no one at the door. Filch must have been busy looking for them elsewhere. At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was too dangerous just now, and thank you." After finding that the crisis was temporarily out of the way, Harry showed a sincere smile to Hugo and said. "I think we should run back to our common room now. I wish you a safe journey."
"I wish you all the best." After a hasty greeting, Hugo and Harry waved goodbye, and then ran towards the Ravenclaw Tower with Veneto.
A few minutes later, just as the time reached 12:00 midnight. Hugo and Veneto successfully returned to the Ravenclaw common room. On the way, they also met Filch who was re-righting his armor. Fortunately, Veneto had much stronger senses than normal people, so they avoided Filch from a distance.
"It's really unusual for a big dog to fill up a room." Veneto whispered to Hugo after sitting down on the sofa in the corner of the Ravenclaw common room. At this time, about half of the lights in the Ravenclaw common room were still on, and some senior students were still sitting there studying.
Veneto's surprise is normal. Although the ship girl is a special kind of life, she can contain the power of a warship in her small body. But in a non-combat state, their mental level is similar to their appearance. So it is natural to have some curiosity when seeing this magical creature that has never been seen before.
"This kind of thing is really strange," said Hugo. "If the knowledge recorded in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them I read before is correct, this three-headed dog is a magical creature unique to Greece. It is rare in number. It is slightly more numerous than the giant dragon. In addition to its huge size In addition to possessing powerful magical defenses, their claws and teeth also contain toxins that prevent the healing of prey wounds."
After briefly chatting about what they had just witnessed, Hugo and Veneto said goodbye to each other and went back to their dormitories. But this did not mean that they had ended their chat. As soon as they returned to the dormitory and lay down, Hugo contacted the ship girls through the admiral network.
"I should have changed the plot this time." After lying down, Hugo immediately asked Shengli about the impact of what he had just done. "How many destiny points did you give me?"
"2.5 points." Victory's voice reached Hugo's mind through the Admiral's network. "According to the first-hand information I got, your act of basically replacing Hermione's role in the original text in this incident probably only gave you 1 destiny point. The remaining 1.5 destiny points came from Veneto and The three-headed dog confrontation and the few extra minutes you spent in that house.”
"What's the principle?" Hugo asked in confusion, "This is obviously all a change. It's a change for me to replace Hermione's position in the original story. I risked my life to stay longer in that house." A few minutes is also a change. It’s all a change, so why the points obtained are different.”
"I don't know about this either." Shengli said helplessly, "The system's subjective initiative is really poor. We need to explore many things ourselves."
"But according to my guess, the change to the event itself is likely to be greater than the fate points obtained by simply replacing the characters involved in the event. For example, not only did you open the door this time, but you also reminded Harry III The alpha dog guarding a trap door makes him realize where the small bag taken from Gringotts has gone. But because this is just a replacement for Hermione's original method, the points you get have not been increased for the three minutes. There are more points for confronting the three-headed dog.”
"But all this is just speculation. More samples are needed to analyze the specific situation." Sheng Sheng concluded in the end.
