This Hogwarts isn't normal.

The skeleton of the big black dog was very large, just like the black shack in the legend that burned the land wherever it passed.

But there was no pungent sulfur smell on its body, and its hair was not shiny at all, only the eyes were the same yellow.

After cleaning and treatment, Vincent squatted in front of the big head with its tongue sticking out.

It looked very much like a Scottish deerhound, and I'm afraid it had a genetic mutation and turned black.

There are many legends about black dogs in the UK, in addition to the black shack, there are also dog demons and Flanders old red eyes.

People generally believe that black dogs are a symbol of evil and a monster that will bring misfortune as soon as they appear.

This black Scottish deerhound, which was so tired that it could not move, was probably abandoned because of its fur color, and it was lost in Hogsmeade and met some superstitious wizards.

Evil? Misfortune?

Bullshit! Black dogs are clearly good at guarding the house and warding off evil spirits!

Vincent is not superstitious, and he doesn't believe in Western ones.

Hogwarts Castle prohibits dogs. If you learn to Apparate in advance, you can take it home.

No, he is the school director.

Hagrid can raise teeth in the Forbidden Forest, which is just right to enrich the diversity of creatures.

The big black dog seemed to be frightened by his eyes and struggled to stand up.

"Want to eat meat? Want to make new friends?"

It was stunned for a moment, and then began to struggle again.

Vincent was a little embarrassed.

It is not safe to stay in Hogsmeade, and the current relationship is not good enough to go back.

Take it slowly and get it some food.

When he stood up, the big black dog had stopped struggling.

When the black and white vortex appeared, it jumped up again as if it was frightened.

Ten minutes later, Vincent came back with pies and steaks bought from the Three Broomsticks.

He was wearing a black robe and a hood. The big black dog seemed to recognize who he was by the smell, looked up and lay down again.

There was no reaction when he walked over, trusting but still vigilant.

For stray dogs, this is the best situation.

Vincent lifted the Transfiguration, "Eat, I bought a lot."

The pies and steaks are low in oil and salt, and the hungry big black dog finished them in a few bites.

Although it is thin, sudden overeating can cause many diseases.

For its health, it can't be fed too much at once no matter how hungry it is.

Besides, this big black dog is very proud, and it will lie down quietly after eating.

It was still raining outside, and Vincent yawned and sat next to it.

The time on the watch was almost early in the morning, but the freshman dinner at Hogwarts Castle had just begun.

He reached out and stroked the big black dog's head, and unconsciously closed his eyes and dozed off.

When he woke up, the big black dog was still there, but it changed its posture and lay in another corner.

It was almost 1 o'clock in the morning, and it was just the right time to go back now.

Vincent stretched, got up and walked towards the big black dog.

"I'm going back. I'll bring some new friends to see you when I'm free."

He didn't choose to Apparate to the secret passage, but turned around and slowly walked out of the cave.

The big black dog raised his head slightly, looking at his back, as if hesitating about something.

There were two choices before it.

One, continue to stay in the cave.

Two, follow.

"Woof woof!" The big black dog suddenly stood up and ran to the cave entrance.

Maybe the pie and steak were delicious, or maybe it thought the other party was a good person, it finally chose to follow.

Vincent stopped at the cave entrance, half-crouched and opened his hands.

The big black dog also stopped to listen, but did not jump into his arms.

"Well, trust needs to be accumulated little by little."

The alder wand pointed at it and cast a waterproof spell.

The rain fell on the invisible film, and Vincent looked back and found that it was following quietly behind him.

It had to follow in the rain, it seemed that it was very reluctant to leave him.

A small road outside the village led to an abandoned cabin.

Lifting the dusty old carpet, there is a wooden trapdoor underneath.

The secret passage inside leads to the statue of Gregory the Flatterer on the sixth floor of the castle.

Although there is the prefect's bathroom next to it, Myrtle often stays there, and not many students will go there.

It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and it's 9 o'clock in the evening in reality.

After waiting for a few minutes, Vincent opened the entrance to the statue in front of him.

He had returned to the dormitory 5 hours ago, and now he just had to make sure that the big black dog was not discovered.

The corridor was empty, and the dinner might not be over yet.

The big black dog followed him quietly to a window.

Facing the unfamiliar environment, it not only did not show curiosity, but was very cautious.

Stray dogs are suspicious and cautious, and have a strong sense of vigilance.

They have been injured and experienced the hardships of cruel life. They always want to have a caring owner and a home that can shelter them from the wind and rain.

"Don't bark, or I will have to go to the principal's office for tea again."

Regardless of whether it can hear clearly or not, Vincent turned the open window into a rope.

He cast a shock-absorbing spell on himself and the big black dog, and then cast a universal protection on both hands.

After completing all the preparations, he squatted down and looked into its cloudy yellow eyes.

He tentatively reached out to hug it, and when it didn't resist, he used a little more force.

It was about the same weight as the two little witches, and he could hold it with one hand on his shoulders.

Vincent stood on the windowsill, threw the rope down, and patted the big black dog's back.

"Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."

He held the big black dog tightly with his right hand, and loosened his left hand holding the rope slightly.

He jumped off the windowsill and held the rope tightly before landing.

All the protection offsets the friction, and the shock-absorbing spell greatly reduces the shaking.

He was well prepared and the big black dog didn't bark.

Noisy sounds came from the direction of the auditorium, and the dinner was indeed not over yet.

Vincent walked towards the Forbidden Forest with confidence.

The big black dog didn't hesitate or be afraid, and followed him quietly as before.

When passing by Hagrid's hut, I could vaguely hear a crackling sound.

There was a smell of rotten fish and shrimp floating in the air. It was probably some kind of aquatic magical creature used for teaching.

After walking through the tall trees, I came to a cave. Not long after I stood there, a "hissing" sound came from inside.

A huge black shadow emerged from the hole in the ground, and the big black dog bared its teeth and roared.

"Don't be afraid, this is my friend."

Vincent knelt down and stroked its back.

When Jomgander poked his head out, the big black dog that had stopped barking lay down, curled up and shivered.

This is a biological fear.

"Look, it's okay." Vincent reached out and touched Jomgander's big face.

"You will be neighbors from now on, so you must get along well."

"Hiss—" Jomgand agreed.

The big black dog stood up carefully.

The fact that it did not escape immediately proved that trust had developed between it and Vincent.

As the relationship deepens, it will definitely come out of the shadows.

"Jomgande, this is Xiaohei."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the big black dog with his head turned away didn't like this name.

"Xiao Hei?"

Totally unreasonable.

He is so dark that he cannot be called Xiaobai.

And it has the same name as Luo Fu’s nine-tailed fox.

"Biscuit? Pie? Steak?"

Vincent pulled its head back and said, "Forget it, let's call it Xiao Hei."

Jomgander rolled his eyes, and Xiaohei followed suit.

In terms of naming, he was as simple and direct as ever.
