After leaving Snape's office, Silan planned to visit Fluffy that night to farm some experience.
Three-headed dogs were rare even among magical creatures.
Fluffy was his best option at the moment.
Before that, though, he needed to make a few preparations.
A three-headed dog was no easy creature to handle.
Even though he knew music would put Fluffy to sleep, he still wanted to prepare more thoroughly, just to be safe.
To a half-giant like Hagrid, a three-headed dog was no different from a puppy, but to an ordinary wizard, it was an XXXXX-class magical creature.
One careless move could cost him his life.
Silan planned to visit Hagrid first and ask for some of Fluffy's favorite treats, then use his friendship with Hagrid to get on the dog's good side.
After picking up some food, Silan left the castle and headed toward Hagrid's Hut.
Hagrid lived in a small wooden hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with a crossbow and a pair of rubber overshoes outside the front door.
Silan had chosen a bad time. Hagrid wasn't home.
The crossbow was still there, though, so he probably hadn't gone far.
Hagrid's boarhound, Fang, had his head inside an enormous pumpkin and was gnawing at its flesh, his exposed tail wagging like a flower in bloom.
"Hello, Fang." Silan waved at Fang's rear end in greeting.
"Who's that? Who's talking? Woof?"
With the pumpkin still on his head, Fang looked around in confusion. It covered his head like a hood, blocking his view so he couldn't see a thing.
Silan waved his wand and lifted the pumpkin off his head.
"Oh, thanks. Woof." Only then did Fang see Silan. "You can hear me talking?"
Seeing an almost human expression of surprise on Fang's canine face, Silan couldn't help
