Chapter 58: What An Ugly Dog

While Kyle and Hagrid were talking, Kanna, who was next to them, had a confused expression the entire time.

Who am I, where am I, and what were they talking about?

Wasn't the issue about the dog's loss of appetite? Why did they suddenly bring up a three-headed dog?

Moreover, what is a three-headed dog? Is it a dog with three heads? But there isn't one in this room.

"Kyle..." While Hagrid was deep in thought, Kanna seized the moment and quickly voiced her confusion, "What were you talking about just now?"

However, Kyle didn't directly answer her question. Instead, he looked at Hagrid and pursed his lips, saying, "Bring it out, don't hide it. I'm not a professional veterinarian, I have to see the specific situation with my own eyes."

"I don't..." Hagrid wanted to struggle, but considering Fluffy's recent condition, he sighed, "Alright, but you can't tell anyone."

"Of course," Kyle nodded, "I swear on Cedric's personality."

Hagrid, who was in a complicated mood, did not catch what Kyle said, so he stood up and walked out of the room.

However, Kanna heard it.

"Why did you swear on Cedric's personality?" The young witch asked with confusion.

"Don't mind these details," Kyle waved his hand dismissively, "If I had something like that, I would have used my own."

Kanna didn't say anything and silently shifted to the side.

Hagrid returned quickly and it seemed that the place he kept Fluffy wasn't far from here.

Back in the cabin, Hagrid first drew the curtains and then opened the mole-skin coat covering his arm, revealing Fluffy hidden inside.

At this point, Fluffy was about the size of a small cow. Upon realizing it had been brought into this tiny room again, it quickly lowered its head and lay on the ground.

Kanna was startled. She didn't expect Hagrid to really bring back a large dog with three heads, and it looked so... ugly!

The appearance of a three-headed dog, like other magical creatures in the wizarding world, was uniquely hideous.

In this aspect, Fluffy was no exception. About half of its head was occupied by a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. The flesh near its nose was piled on top of each other, resembling a washboard.

"Could it be that the three-headed dog also has the bloodline of a Shar Pei?"

Kyle scratched his head, uncertain.

Before this, he had never seen a three-headed dog. Although Newt's magical suitcase was extraordinary, it didn't contain everything.

Actually, even in Greece, the three-headed dog was a very rare magical creature, about as rare as the Blast-Ended Skrewt.

Kyle was sure that the person who sold Fluffy to Hagrid must be an outsider.

"Lucky indeed," Kyle couldn't help but pat Fluffy's ugly but cute head. Its fur was rough, and the sensation was like brushing an old shoe brush.

It felt much worse than Fang's.

The little guy was quite fierce. After realizing that its head had been touched, it opened its mouth and bit towards Kyle's hand.

After dodging, Kyle lightly patted the middle head, "Don't be naughty. I'll give you something good to eat later."

Fluffy immediately quieted down, making two "woof woof" sounds towards Kyle.

"How about some Murtlap jerky?" Kyle pondered for a moment and said, "It has a firmer texture than beef, and you should like it."

"Woof woof..."

"Thirty pieces?" Kyle frowned, "No, too much. I only have nine, so you three can split it."

While Kyle was bargaining with Fluffy, Hagrid, who witnessed this scene, had his eyes wide open. He looked at Kyle and then at Fluffy, saying incredulously, "Mr. Scamander taught you this too?"

Kyle just smiled and didn't say anything.

In the magical world, many people knew that Chris could communicate with magical creatures. Chris's explanation to the public was that "Mr. Scamander taught him."

Since Newt had never publicly denied it, people naturally believed this explanation.

Only a very few knew the truth, such as the Weasley couple, Newt's family, and maybe Professor Dumbledore...that was uncertain, strike it off.

However, Hagrid was not among them.

"Merlin's beard, it seems that Mr. Scamander really thinks highly of you."

Hagrid looked at Kyle with some envy and said, "I begged him for a long time, but he never agreed to teach me how to talk to magical creatures."

"It's just a little trick, Hagrid." Kyle took out the Murtlap jerky and fed it to Fluffy, saying with a smile, "I believe that even if you don't understand its words, you must understand what it wants to express."

"Yes, I can." Hagrid said proudly, "I always know what Fluffy wants, and Fluffy also understands me. When it was little, it was quite naughty, but as long as I sing, it would fall asleep for sure."

To prove that he wasn't just boasting, Hagrid demonstrated by gently tapping Fluffy and singing.

Then, Kyle clearly heard Fluffy's words.

"It's starting again, it's starting again. My head hurts so much."

"Sleep quickly, it'll be fine if you fall asleep..."

"Sleep, quick!"

Fluffy's three heads closed their eyes simultaneously, and after a few seconds, they started snoring. Its movements were so skillful that it was almost heartbreaking.

"You see, it fell asleep." Hagrid happily said.

Kyle laughed a couple of times. Looking at Hagrid's happy appearance, he thought for a moment and didn't reveal the truth but brought up the topic from before.

"It's already very big now, Hagrid." Kyle touched Fluffy's head and said, "You should have noticed that since entering the room just now, its mood has been low. You have to put it in the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible."

"I know, but I'm worried..." Hagrid said somewhat dejected, "Fluffy is still so small, what if something happens to it without my care?"

Kyle raised his eyebrows. He thought that Hagrid should be more concerned about the other creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid's eyes wandered for a while, and he continued, "Moreover, if I put it in the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore might see it. What if he sends Fluffy away?"

"Then send it further away, deep into the Forbidden Forest." Kyle suggested, "You mustn't forget that it's a special period now. The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic have been tracking those magical creatures with unclear origins.

If Dumbledore finds out, it's better than being discovered by them."

"That Greek guy is not working with them." Hagrid was agitated and his face turned red, "I've confirmed that he's not in the photos released by the Ministry."

"But the Aurors won't care about that." Kyle calmly said, "They care about the fact that before those groups of people were arrested, you happened to buy a three-headed dog of unknown origin."
