Chapter 84 Target the three-headed dog! Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell! After explaining to the little Hufflepuffs how to enter the common room, Cedric led them in. The Hufflepuff common room is not as cool as Ravenclaw's blue, it looks like a small library, but it is not as luxurious as Slytherin's. It is a bit similar to the Gryffindor common room, both are warm colors, but compared to the eye-catching golden and red colors, the Hufflepuff common room appears warmer and more comfortable. It's the feeling of staying in bed in the winter without coming out. The most exaggerated thing is that there is a door next to the fireplace in the common room that leads directly to the Hufflepuff kitchen. Cedric beamed with joy when he talked about this. "Hogwarts' house elves are already excellent cooks." "But since ancient times, only those house-elves with the best cooking skills can enter the Hufflepuff kitchen." "Whenever an important guest comes to Hogwarts, the most sumptuous and delicious banquet is prepared by the elves in the Hufflepuff kitchen. You can't get this kind of food outside very often, and other colleges can only eat it a few times a year." "But in Hufflepuff, food is available 24/7! Whenever you feel hungry, go to the kitchen and there will be a steaming hot meal waiting for you!"
"If you can get some special ingredients, the house-elves can customize the meal for you. That would be wonderful!" As Cedric described, the little wizards' faces were filled with greed. Just thinking about being able to have a delicious midnight snack in this comfortable lounge, even if it is for them to finish their final homework, seems quite happy. Seeing the expressions of the little wizards, Cedric also showed a satisfied expression. Apart from anything else, the sense of belonging and unity among Hufflepuff students is definitely the strongest among the four colleges, and Gryffindor has to lag behind a little. How was it cultivated? That's what everyone makes together for midnight snack every night! While Gryffindor was busy with their night outings, Ravenclaw was busy reading, and Slytherin was busy with something else, the Hufflepuff wizards were busy eating here. How can this sense of belonging not be strong? Then, Cedric continued. "Alright, I'll leave the common room for you to explore later. For now, I'll take you to your respective dormitories." …… At the door of a four-person dormitory, Charles stood in front of the door with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. As for the dormitory, he really hasn't lived there for many years. But after a moment, Ciel's nostalgic look disappeared and he pulled out his wand. What he missed was not the dormitory, but the carefree time of studying. As for the dormitory, unless you have a good relationship with your roommates, who would miss it? Do you miss the narrow bunk beds, the restrictions that came with having no privacy at all? That’s fine! Who in their right mind would say that they like living in a dormitory with three other children? It's pure torture! Immediately, Charles pushed the door open and walked in.
The three roommates inside all looked towards the door, ready to welcome Charles, but the next moment, a flash of magic light appeared. Ciel cast a Confusion Charm in the dormitory. The effect of this confusing spell was to make several roommates ignore Ciel's existence, and even make them think that Ciel was not their roommate, but just an ordinary classmate, and that there were only three people in their dormitory from beginning to end. With the mental strength of Charles after his transformation, and the magical strength that surpassed most adult wizards after the ancient dragon form was fed back, even if he didn't deliberately deduce the Confusion Spell, the most common version was enough to work perfectly on several young wizards. For a moment, the three roommates were stunned. "What was I trying to do just now?" "Oh yeah, I still have to pack my luggage." Even though Charles walked past them, the three of them seemed not to notice and completely ignored Charles' actions. Then, Charles took out a tent with a traceless stretching spell cast on it, and cast various protective spells on it. In this way, even if there is an occasional dormitory inspection, the student union members who come in will not find that there is a tent here. When Charles opened the tent curtain and walked in, he saw an ultra-luxurious suite inside, which was elegantly decorated, fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, and an extra-large, ultra-soft bed. Charles' eyes showed satisfaction. "It's no wonder that Old Tom from the Leaky Cauldron gave me this super VIP gift. It's really quite nice." "This area is equivalent to a large flat in my previous life. A five-star presidential suite is about this size." "Although I will be very busy in the next period of time at Hogwarts and may not sleep here often, it is still nice to rest here occasionally. It is better than sharing a dormitory with three children." Of course, not all Hogwarts dormitories are four-person rooms. There are also single rooms. For example, the class leaders of each college live in luxurious single rooms. According to the original book, the luxury of a single dormitory is almost the same as that of a five-star hotel, but one needs to be a class leader to get one. As for the position of prefect, Charles respectfully declined it. Aren’t they just student union cadres? They have so much to do, taking care of this and that, and whoever wants to do it can do it. How could it be as good as the luxury tent that Charles got for free? Then, Charles lay on the bed, thinking about how to spend the next period of time. "It's the first night at Hogwarts after all. How can I sleep like this?" "Besides, I didn't feel full after the dinner just now. The deduction points provided by eating those ordinary foods are not as good as eating half a pound of dragon dung." "I have to go and worship my own stomach and get some points at the same time." A series of options emerged in Charles' mind, and then he eliminated them one by one. "Basilisk? I haven't learned Parseltongue yet, so I can't enter the Chamber of Secrets for the time being." "Besides, the basilisk has an instant-kill effect, and the Dragon Armor spell may not be effective. There is still a risk of failure. Let's cast a spell related to the eyes to ensure that there is no risk of failure before going." "As for the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, they are a bit far away, so we won't bother with them on the first day." "So is Ravenclaw's diadem. It will take a while to find it in the Room of Requirement. There's no rush."
After some thought, a name emerged in Charles' mind. "Three-headed dog, it's decided to be you!" This extremely rare magical creature is only produced in Greece and is even more precious than a fire dragon. It is best known for its limitless power, violent aggression, and superior recovery ability. The most famous three-headed dog in mythology is Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell in Greek mythology. As the Warden of the Underworld and himself in the Netherworld, Cerberus is nearly unkillable and has a strong resistance to instant-death magic. There may be a little bit of his blood left in the three-headed dog of Greece today, making it an extremely rare creature that is resistant to the Killing Curse. No wonder in the original book, Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort, but it took a lot of effort for him to get the Philosopher's Stone through the three-headed dog. This thing is indeed difficult to deal with. Even if Voldemort were to play on the enemy's behalf, his residual soul would probably consume a lot of energy. Charles chose the three-headed dog as his target. Besides wanting to get some deduction points from it, he also had another idea in mind. That is, perhaps through the blood of the three-headed dog, he could obtain a second magical Animagus transformation and become a being close to the legendary Cerberus! (End of this chapter)
