Saturday morning arrived, and William, Cedric, and Cho departed from the castle, crossing the fields toward the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid lived in a small wood cabin at edge of the forbidden forest, with a crossbow and a pair of big rubber boots by the gate.

Earlier that week, William received a letter from Hagrid, inviting him at his house to meet the Hagrid's three-headed dog.

William decided to go with Cedric, while Cho was someway begged by Cedric to join.

As William knocked on the door, a brief brief commotion with metal plates falling inside, accompanied by muffled barks happened.

Then, Hagrid's voice boomed, "Step back, yo' all, step back!"

Hagrid slightly open the door, revealing his large face with his unkempt beard.

Hagrid, with his unruly hair, and dusted face looked approachable, even with his size of a giant.

"Just a moment," he yelled, "Go back, Fang."

As Hagrid smashed the door open, he pushed the three of them inside, desperately pulling the collar of a massive black dog.

The dog, was really big and looked scary. William swiftly tossed out a small dried fish.

The dog broke free from Hagrid's grasp, catching the fish, gobbled it up, and then, put his tongue out, asking for another treat.

William took out a small bag from his pocket, he took out his wand, and said, "Engorgio!"

The small bag expanded in size, revealing a large package of dried fish placed on the table.

He also unpacked a can of pet beef grains, setting it on the ground.

Fang dashed over, wagging his tail in happiness seeing the food given to him by William.

Everyone gave William odd looks. Why do you even carry around such things?

William clarified, "It's a treat for Boba. Since he isn't here anyway, I thought I'd share it."

Cho couldn't resist commenting, "Your cat sure eats like a king."

She still recalled how Boba reacted to her lunch offering on the train which made her feel like a beggar offering his food to a noble.

Hagrid inquired, "Speaking of which, where's Boba? Why isn't he here with you."

"He's been through a heart break lately,

So he is spending time with Mrs. Norris to deal with his love trauma," William explained with a shrug.

"Ever since that Transfiguration class, Boba hides whenever he spots Professor McGonagall.

The memory of Professor McGonagall transforming from her tabby cat form makes him sad for falling for her cat form."

"It's quite astonishing," remarked Hagrid, clearly taken aback.

"Mrs. Norris, you see, she's been with Flich since his first day on the job.

Wherever he goes in the school, she follows me. Like a wife to her husband," Hagrid explained.

"I had hoped to introduce him to my Fang, but since Boba and Norris get along well, maybe it's best not to," expressed Hagrid with regret.

He felt sorry for Fang, but that silly dog remained happily wagging his tail and devouring the snacks given by William.

Hagrid's cabin just had a single room with hanging hams and pheasants.

A copper pot on fire with boiling water over a brazier, and a large bed with a quilt made of rags in a corner.

The trio settled on the bench.

"This is Cho Chang," Cedric introduced her to Hagrid.

"Hello there," Hagrid greeted warmly, extending his hand.

Cho shook Hagrid's large hand without showing any kind of fear or disgust, the two things that most people do when they meet him.

Because of which Hagrid beamed. "I reckon you haven't had breakfast yet?

What about trying my World famous rock crust pie."

He stood up, pouring boiling water into a huge teapot and setting some rock crust pie on a plate.

Hagrid grabbed some additional crumbs, placing them into Fang's can, causing Fang to stick his nose out of disdain towards it.

William discovered a new thing when he first tried the pie, from where the pie got his Rock crust name.

The rock crust pie similar to a rock nearly knocked the teeth out of William and the others,

yet they pretended to enjoy it immensely, for not embarrassing poor Hagrid.

Thankfully, Boba wasn't here trying this, otherwise,

Hagrid would have been in depression from the mental trauma Boba would have given him for offering him this kind of food.

After finishing the canned food, Fang rested his head on William's knee, soaking his robes with saliva.

William refrained from offering him more snacks, and Hagrid stored away the small dried fish, leaving Fang disappointed and sad.

Hagrid drew the curtains shut and opened the fireplace wide.

Within the fireplace's darkness lay a rugged blanket.

Excitement surged among the three friends as they gathered eagerly around Hagrid,

Dying to witness the mythical three-headed dog.

Contrary to William's expectations of witnessing the most adorable dog ever,

the reality was shockingly different.

The creature before them was incredibly horrifying, like straight out of a horror film.

It appeared like a disfigured child with three abnormally large heads.

The largest head had cross-eyed eyes, with its gaze squished in the middle, making it scary no matter from which angle you look.

The slightly smaller head on the left was filled with yellow sharp teeth, covering the entire mouth and extending towards the throat.

Meanwhile, the smallest head on the right had a black birthmark covering its face, making it quite disturbing to the eyes.

What kind of monstrous creature was this?!

At the sight of Hagrid, the three heads of the dog crowded towards the fireplace's opening.

Three drooling mouths oozed sticky ropes of saliva, hanging from their sharp canine teeth.

Hagrid beamed affectionately. He retrieved a marinated, plump chicken and tossed it in.

The three heads of the dog jostled, grinning at each other.

"Fuzzy, leave some for Tuffy. He's got the small malnourished head and needs it," Hagrid called out loudly.

Hagrid assigned names to each head: Fuzzy, Scruffy, and Tufty.

As for the three-headed dog's grand name? It was Fluffy.

Looking smug Hagrid commented.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid stretched out his hand and stroked the middle one.

Fuzzy swiftly bit Hagrid's finger in one sharp motion, showcasing his long, pointed teeth.

"Merlin's beard, that's the strength of its jaws. For a caretaker, that's the ultimate reward." Hagrid exclaimed, thrilled.

William, Cedric, and Cho exchanged glances, feeling like Hagrid had completely gone delulu in his own world.

Hagrid took the small dried fish gifted by William, grabbed a small portion, and tossed it into the fireplace.

Once again, the three dog heads lunged to tear it apart.

Fang was furious; it was his gist. He climbed the rock wall of the fireplace, glaring at the three-headed pup.

Fluffy abandoned the small dried fish and dashed towards Fang. Being only a few months old, it wanted to drink some milk.

But fang was a Dog not a bitch.

It lowered its head and glanced at a certain part of his body,

as if he has been greatly insulted by this, whispering, he turned around and dashed towards the door.

"Alright, alright, bedtime for you, Fluffy," Hagrid affectionately patted Truffy's head and hummed a lullaby.

But it sounded like a ghost's cry mixed with a wolf's howl, yet strangely, Fluffy quickly drifted off to sleep under that unpleasant abomination.

Proudly, Hagrid closed the fireplace. "Whenever I sing for him, Fluffy always dozes off. He Treats me like a mother, it does," he boasted.

Cedric inquired, "Hagrid, have you informed Professor Dumbledore Fluffy?"

Hagrid scratched his head, hesitating before speaking, "I'll let him know soon."

William was surprised, "Wasn't it necessary to inform him before the school year began?"

"I... I'm not sure how to say it. What if Professor Dumbledore doesn't permit me to keep it?" Hagrid replied uncertainly.

Cedric expressed concern,

"That's problematic. My father works in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, so I'm familiar with the rules.

This kind of magical creature isn't permitted for private ownership. If it's discovered, it'll likely be killed immediately."

Hagrid's face went pale hearing this.
