Decisively Selling Out His Teammates

At that moment, Lee Jordan instinctively wanted to rely on his reliable roommate. However, he was too nervous, and his rapid breathing and heartbeat gave away his location, attracting the attention of the three-headed monster.

Fred and George also noticed that one of the three heads of the monster in front of them was raised and looking in a certain direction. They felt a little relieved. If Albert was here, he should... may... have a way to deal with this three-headed monster! Fred and George prayed that Albert would appear soon and help them get out of their current predicament. However, no matter how much they prayed, they could not get their thoughts to Albert, and it had no effect.

The monster's three heads and three pairs of bulging eyes were all fixed on the spot where Fred and George were hiding. Its three noses were twitching and sniffing at their hiding place, and sticky saliva dripped from its yellowed teeth, landing around them, making Fred and George tremble with fear. One more move and the two of them could be pounced on and bitten to death by the monster in front of them.

Not only Fred and George, but even Lee Jordan, who was hiding nearby, was sweating profusely. He didn't understand why Albert hadn't made a move when the situation was already so dire. What was he doing? Lee Jordan didn't understand, he really didn't understand!

He gripped his wand tightly, ready to cast a spell on the monster at any moment and save Fred and George at the crucial moment.

Ah! Just as Fluffy Williams opened his mouth wide, preparing to pounce, Fred and George, unable to bear the pressure any longer, let out a terrified, shrill scream. The two of them practically used their hands and feet to run frantically out of the Forbidden Forest at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Frankly, this approach is really foolish.

Albert, who was hiding nearby, watched for a moment without hesitation. Exposing his back to the enemy was tantamount to courting death.

Moreover, no matter how fast the two run, can they outrun Three-Headed Dog? However, for some reason, Three-Headed Dog Fluffy Fluffy didn't immediately give chase, probably because the shrill scream from earlier had really startled him.

When the Three-Headed Dog Fluffy came to his senses and started barking wildly in the direction Red and George had gone, and chasing after Fred and George, the Weasley Twins, who were running wildly, wished they had two more legs.

The scene before him left Lee Jordan speechless. As he came to his senses and prepared to help Fred and George, he heard Hagrid shouting at the top of his lungs from not far away, "Fluffy, come back!"

The Three-Headed Dog hesitated. Hagrid had been raising it for so long, and it was still somewhat useful, especially since if it disobeyed this time, it probably wouldn't be taken out for a walk next time.

This moment of hesitation allowed Fred and George, who were on the run, to escape unscathed. However, the two brothers were not in good shape either; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were terrified out of their wits by the three-headed monster.

"That scream just now sounded like... the Weasley family?" Hagrid had also heard Fred and George's screams, and his expression turned grim. He didn't want anyone to know about Fluffy's existence, and he especially didn't want Fluffy to bite any other students. He hurried over and, after carefully confirming that Fluffy hadn't bitten the two Weasley family brothers, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who's there? Come out!"

Noticing Three-Headed Dog's gaze, Hagrid immediately followed it Three-Headed Dog saw footprints in the snow, so he called out.

"It's me!" Lee Jordan said with a helpless expression.

"You've become invisible?" Hagrid recognized the voice and his expression turned even more grim.

"It's the Disillusionment Charm. Albert set it up for me. I just came to check on things here." Lee Jordan unceremoniously threw Albert out to take the blame, knowing that Albert and Hagrid were close friends.

"What exactly happened just now? Didn't I tell you not to go into the woods?" Hagrid's face darkened, and he continued, "Where is Albert?"

"Albert? He should be around here." Lee Jordan looked up and around, but couldn't find Albert or his footprints in the snow. He immediately realized he had been tricked.

"Damn it, those bastards!" Lee Jordan cursed inwardly. However, he quickly lost interest, because Fluffy ' three heads were crowding towards him, making his legs tremble so badly that he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Hagrid, could you please keep your pet away from me? It looks a little..." Lee Jordan ultimately didn't say "terrible" aloud.

"Oh, don't worry, Fluffy is very well-behaved," Hagrid reassured him. "Last time, Albert even rubbed its head."

"Albert, rub the dog's head?" Lee Jordan admired Albert's courage and audacity. He actually dared to rub the monster's head. Did it not look as dangerous as it appeared?

Hagrid seemed to see through Lee Jordan's thoughts and warned, "When I'm not around, you'd better stay away from Fluffy. He's been learning how to hunt lately..."

The latter quickly dismissed a crazy idea.

"What are you doing in the woods?" Haige asked, frowning.

"The four of us went into the woods to pick Snow Fungus, the same delicious mushrooms we found last year." Lee Jordan didn't intend to hide anything from Hagrid; he told the truth, but only half of it. Anyway, he wasn't lying, and he spoke with conviction, something he'd learned from Albert.

"What happened to Fred and George just now? Why did they scream in such terror?" Hagrid asked, puzzled.

"Of course... I was scared!" Lee Jordan felt his lips twitching uncontrollably. If he were to face this three-headed monster in front of him, he would also be so scared that he would scream.

"If I hadn't been here today, I really don't know what would have happened!" Hagrid complained, feigning anger. "It's one thing if you guys died in the Forbidden Forest, I could just come in another day and clean up your remains, but I don't want your little mess to bring bad reputation to Hogwarts."

Hagrid reached out and pushed Fluffy ' three heads aside, then poked Lee Jordan in the chest and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you get back. Also, you're not allowed to go into the woods again, or I'll have Professor McGonagall deduct a lot of points from you and put you in solitary confinement for another month."

"We understand," Lee Jordan said sincerely. "I promise it won't happen again."

"At least, you won't find out next time," he added to himself.

After being severely reprimanded by Hagrid and standing there listening to his nagging for several minutes, Lee Jordan regretted it deeply. He should have known better than to be so curious and come back to see what pets Hagrid had.

Not only were they nearly killed by that monster, but Hagrid also gave them a severe scolding. Where on earth was Albert hiding? He was certain Albert already knew about the monster, which was why he told them to leave immediately.

Thinking about what had just happened, Lee Jordan felt incredibly frustrated. He should have gone with Albert earlier. However, when he thought about Fred and George, who had been scared out of their wits by that monster, his mood improved considerably.

Sure enough, after comparing himself to Fred and George, who were even more unlucky than him, his mood improved considerably.

Hagrid, holding onto the chain around Fluffy' neck, watched Lee Jordan's retreating figure and said, "Alright, he's gone. Come out now!"

There was no response, and the surroundings remained deathly silent.

Hagrid scratched the back of his head, looked around but didn't see Albert, and muttered to himself, "Could I have guessed wrong?"
