Albert followed Professor Smith and walked forward silently. After turning a corner, he stopped in front of the stone statue of Griffin.

"Chocolate Frog!"

Professor Smith Speak the password to the stone statue in front of you.

The statue of Griffin came to life and jumped to the side. The wall behind it split in half, revealing the upward stairway.

"Follow up."

Professor Smith passed through the gap in the wall and stepped onto the spiral stone staircase. Albert hurriedly followed. When he stepped on the stairs, the gap closed behind him.

The next moment, the stairs slowly rose automatically, sending the two of them to the door of Headmaster's Office.

Professor Smith stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quietly, and the two of them walked in Headmaster's Office.

This is the second time Albert has come to Headmaster's Office. There was no difference from the last time they came. The portraits of wizards and witches on the surrounding walls began to pretend to sleep again after they entered.

"Rowena, is something wrong?"

Dumbledore was writing a letter at his desk, raised his head and looked at the two people who came in, and asked.

"Albert wants to see you for something. Regarding Hagrid, I think it's better for him to tell you himself!" Professor Smith moved his body and asked Albert to tell Dumbledore the reason.

"Hagrid?" When Dumbledore moved his gaze to Albert, the parchment paper on the table had been automatically put into the envelope and sealed with sealing wax.

He took the letter and handed it to Phoenix who was standing on the branch of the sycamore tree. Fawkes flew away with the letter in his mouth.

Does this mean Phoenix is an owl messenger?

Albert took his eyes away from Phoenix and began to tell Dumbledore about Hagrid: Hagrid stole I secretly kept a Three-Headed Dog named Fluffy in Forbidden Forest, and his Three-Headed Dog suddenly ran away and may be wandering outside the school.

He explained it very carefully, including that Hagrid did not want to cause trouble to Dumbledore, and was now running around in Forbidden Forest, looking for the whereabouts of Fluffy.

Albert observed the changes in Dumbledore's expression while talking, but the principal's expression remained unchanged. He still stood quietly and listened to Albert finish what he said.

"Dumbledore, you won't kick Hagrid out of school, right!" Albert asked pretending to be worried.

"No. Mr. Anderson, your judgment and handling are correct, Gryffindor will add 20 points." Dumbledore smiled at Albert, Comforting: "Three-Headed Dog is indeed a dangerous Magical Creature. You did the right thing. We'd better find it and place it before Three-Headed Dog causes trouble."

"Principal, what are you going to do with Three-Headed Dog?" Albert asked again.

"Sending it back to its hometown is the best choice." Dumbledore did not hide how he dealt with Three-Headed Dog, and said to Professor Smith, "Mr. Rowena, are you free now?"

"Of course I'm free, if you need help." Smith said with a smile, "I'll come to Forbidden Forest at any time to help find Three-Headed Dog."

"Well, let's go find Hagrid!" Dumbledore said and was about to leave.

"Principal, can I go with you?" Albert said quickly, "I promised Hagrid that I would help him find Fluffy."

Dumbledore took a deep look at Albert, nodded and said, "Then come!"

Albert is very confident in Dumbledore. With his help, Fluffy should be found soon.

This time the mission is stable.

The three of them left the castle and walked towards the hut outside Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was having lunch when he heard a knock on the door. He put the bread in his mouth and reached out to open the door, "Albert, why are you..."

His voice paused, and he looked at Dumbledore standing outside the door. He suddenly became a little panicked. His eyes moved down and fell on Albert beside Dumbledore. He immediately knew what was going on.

"I'm sorry Hagrid, but I think it's best to let the principal know about this before Fluffy gets you into trouble." Albert apologized, "I don't want to see Fluffy hurt Hogwarts's students, and I don't want you to get into trouble and be kicked out of the school."

He felt that after taking Felix Felicis, his acting skills immediately exploded, and it would be no problem to take Oscar.

"Mr. Anderson's judgment is right. We'd better find that Three-Headed Dog quickly." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"What should we do?" Hagrid gave up his position at the door and asked uneasily, "Albert and I searched in the woods all morning, but we still couldn't find any trace of Fluffy."

"We will find it." Dumbledore comforted, "Rowena, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about Three-Headed Dog. However, we can find experts in this field." Professor Smith suggested, "Kettleburn is an expert on Care of Magical Creatures. Maybe he can provide us with some suggestions."

"That's a good idea." Dumbledore nodded and echoed Smith's suggestion.

The four of them entered Forbidden Forest together and walked towards Kettleburn's cabin.

"Albus, why are you here?" Kettleburn was feeding Flobberworm to his Little Cute Ones, and looked at the four people with confusion on his face.

"Something happened." Dumbledore told Three-Headed Dog.

"Three-Headed Dog?" Kettleburn was very interested in it, "I see, the black shadow I saw last time was it? I was still investigating what kind of footprints it was?"

"Kettleburn, is there any way you can find it?" Hagrid asked quickly.

"Unfortunately, it's not easy to find it in Forbidden Forest." Kettleburn still gave them some suggestions, "It's hard to find food now, you can get it from this way."

"Food? It's the same as Albert's suggestion." Hagrid muttered in his heart. They had been searching all morning and couldn't find any useful clues.

"We should go." Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about how to lure Three-Headed Dog out, "I will ask House-elf to prepare some fresh meat."

"Principal, can't you use reverse Tracking Magic?" Albert asked tentatively.

"Unfortunately, no." Dumbledore will naturally reverse Tracking Magic, but the problem is that he knows nothing about Fluffy now, and it is difficult to directly use magic to track it.

"Can we try using Summoning Charm? Summon Fluffy directly." Albert continued to suggest. With Dumbledore's blessing, Elder Wand might be able to succeed.

"Of course," Dumbledore suddenly stopped, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"I tried the principal, but it didn't work." Albert explained, "My magic power is not enough, Charms may be resisted."

"This is not surprising at all. The large Magical Creature is very resistant to Charms." Professor Smith explained, "Moreover, we don't know where it is now, and it may fail if it is too far away."

"We can cast the spell together." Dumbledore said suddenly, "If Three-Headed Dog is not far from here, it should be successful."

"How to cast spells together?" Albert asked curiously.

"Recite Fluffy Accio, count to three, and just recite them together!" Professor Smith explained.

"As long as Fluffy appears, I can subdue Fluffy immediately." Hagrid promised, patting his chest.

"Then let's get started."

All three of them took out their wands, looked at each other, and started counting down.

"Fluffy Accio!" they shouted in unison.
