A certain Hogwarts professor of runes

Chapter 201 Lou Williams the Cerberus

The eight eyes of the giant spider trembled in unison, and its two large pincers seemed to have triggered some kind of switch, making a series of "click-click-click" sounds.

"Hmm... let's test the amplification capability again."

Felix first stunned it with a stun spell, then used his wand to flick a ribbon of blue magic onto the giant spider's ugly head. Under his control, the giant spider's body rapidly expanded to ten feet, twenty feet, and thirty feet.

Felix stopped and walked around it.

"Magnification is also possible; this magic is entirely under my control."

"But I always feel it's not very useful."

Felix observed this scene, wondering who would enlarge their enemy on the battlefield?

In order to turn the opponent into a conspicuous target?

There are clearly better ways.

Felix restored the eight-eyed giant spider to its original state, and after examining it, shrunk it to the size of his little fingertip. He then took out an ordinary transparent glass bottle from his ring and put it inside.

"Mr. Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, please stay with me for a while."

He then waved his hand to disperse the spherical vortex, and a dozen seconds later, eleven unconscious giant spiders lay around him.

It looks like they got dizzy from being spun around.

He carefully placed magical marks on three of the eight-eyed giant spiders, which would allow him to directly locate their nest.

The place where the giant eight-eyed spiders are entrenched is too close to the school. Judging from their indiscriminate attacks on humans, the danger is too great. It would be best to move them further away.

It would be nice to have trolls as company, especially since it's on the other side of the Forbidden Forest.

But not today; he's just had a better idea.

……

An hour later, Felix, carrying a small black dog with three heads, knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid looked like he had just eaten; his beard was smeared with ketchup, and he was humming a little tune.

He opened the door, letting out a hearty laugh: "Felix, your suggestion was very helpful, the students responded well... Wait!" He suddenly roared, his eyebrows and beard trembling wildly.

"Lo...Lowe..." Hagrid's eyes filled with tears.

Felix smiled at him. "That's right, I brought Lou Williams—"

"...She has a child!"

"Huh?" Felix looked at Hagrid with a head full of questions, his head starting to throb again.

The next second, he was pulled inside by Hagrid's big hand. "Come in quickly, don't let the little guy catch a cold."

Hagrid shoved him into a chair, his burly figure pacing around the hut, muttering incessantly, "Let me think... let me think... what does Cerberus need when he's a puppy? First, a fireplace, then raw meat, and luckily, he still has a few teeth left... how could he do without music! His father loved it when I played the flute for him. Good heavens, Luwei has a child, and I was completely kept in the dark!"

Felix was stunned for a good ten seconds before he understood what was going on. He interrupted the busy Hagrid with a wand in hand, "Hagrid, do you remember my magic? Turning a wand tree into a bonsai during summer vacation?"

Hagrid slowly stopped and said uncertainly, "Of course I remember, don't tell me..." His gaze fell on the little black dog in his arms—it was wagging its tail frantically and looking at him pitifully.

He felt a strong sense of familiarity.

"That's right, I brought Lou Williams to you. I keep my word."

Hagrid muttered something unintelligible, then scooped the three-headed dog from Felix's arms and examined it closely.

The little guy was only half a foot tall, not even half the size of Haig's palm. It was covered in what looked like black silk, and its three heads were only the size of walnuts. It was making pitiful "woof woof" sounds.

Hagrid's hands trembled. "It really is Lowe. Look at these paws, this nose. His second head is a little small, even smaller when he was born. I thought he was deformed..."

Louie, the three-headed dog, returned to his "old father's" embrace, clinging tightly to Hagrid with his four chubby paws.

Louie's three heads greedily inhaled Hagrid's scent, and after a while, it suddenly turned and barked at Felix.

This is the bad guy! He suddenly appeared and turned himself into a tiny little guy!

"Oh!" Hagrid laughed even harder. "That's what he called when he was a kid, he learned it from Tooth, but when he got twice the size of Tooth, he stopped calling it that."

"Whatever makes you happy, Hagrid. I don't know if I did the right thing or not. I didn't think too much about it..." Felix said.

"You're too kind, this is exactly what I wanted!"

Seemingly realizing that Hagrid couldn't stand up for him, Fluffy became completely obedient. It perched on Hagrid's shoulder—which was surprisingly spacious for it now—and soon its three heads began vying for the raw meat Hagrid offered.

"Slow down, slow down, it's all yours," Hagrid said with a smile.

Before leaving, Felix unusually remembered to remind him, "Hagrid, if Fluffy grows to a third of his normal size, send him back, because he'll recover very quickly afterward. I've specially increased the power of the spell; I think you can probably stay with him for about a week."

"Okay, okay," Hagrid said contentedly.

As Felix left Hagrid's hut and walked back to the castle, he suddenly remembered that he still had an eight-eyed giant spider hidden in his pocket.

He hesitated; he didn't want to turn back.

Or, just cut it down... no one's going to see it anyway...

But in the end, Felix still took it back to his office.

Lying on the sofa, he lazily watched a movie, but ended up remembering nothing of it.

"The side effects of the Mind Hut are too great."

Felix downed another dose of the potion, and for a moment he felt better; his head wasn't throbbing as much. He then pulled out Ravenclaw's tiara from his ring and put it on.

A cool breeze continuously wafted out, soothing his weary spirit.

"It actually worked!"

Felix felt his 'reason' had run away from home, wandered around outside, and finally returned.

He sat up from the sofa, carefully recalled what had happened that day, and couldn't help but cover his face.

"That was too reckless..."

He quickly went to the worktable and applied layers of protective spells to the glass bottle containing the eight-eyed giant spider.

"Very good, now even Cerberus will need some time to break through," he said with satisfaction. "I can record the duration of the spell and compare it with Hagrid's data..."

But then, he suddenly realized a serious problem: "If I'm not better by tomorrow, how am I supposed to teach the young wizard?"

Felix stared at himself in the mirror. He wore a crown shaped like a soaring eagle, with a sky sapphire set in the eagle's chest and rows of pearls adorning its wings.

Wearing a Ravenclaw crown to class would not only make you a laughingstock, but also get you into trouble.

After a while, Felix came up with an idea, but he was somewhat resistant to it...

When Hermione knocked on the office door on time, she saw Felix wearing a large, dark brown men's top hat.

"Is this the professor's new look?" She couldn't help but take a few more glances.
