Chapter Nine

The next day Lily, Erica, and John walked down the grassy hill to Hagrid's hut on the grounds. The air was crisp and fresh. The trees in the Forbidden Forest swayed to the wind. Smoke was rising from the chimney in the small hut.

Erica knocked on the large door. Hagrid opened it and looked down at them. A smile spread across his face. "I was wonden' when you would be here. Tea's just warmin' up. Come on in." Erica walked in and sat in the large leather chair near the door. The other two followed inside.

John shut the door and sat next to Lily. Hagrid sat down too and watched John very carefully. John noticed.

"Don't judge me because of my father Hagrid." Lily looked over at Hagrid.

Hagrid nodded then smiled again. "I just got back from the pub a few days ago and bought somethin' very important I want you three to see." He stood and walked over to a large chest and opened it. He pulled out a bundle of blankets and brought it over to them. The bundle moved slightly.

"What is that Hagrid?" Erica asked as he sat with it in his lap. His eyes twinkled at them.

"Come over and see." He waved with his free hand for them to come see. Lily and John stood first and rushed over.

"Your parents have already seen Fluffy, and I thought that you should see Puffy." He unwrapped some of the blankets and three small puppies' heads poked out. They yawned and stretched. Their fur was long and shaggy.

Lily and Erica both nodded to Hagrid and started to pet the small creature. John, on the other hand, looked strangely at Puffy.

"What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen or heard of a three headed dog?" John moved his head side to side slowly. "No."

Lily startned her back. "My father would tell me all about facing Fluffy to get to the Philosophers Stone. I just never thought I would acctualy get to see one." She smiled at John. He smiled back and reached out and began to pet one of the dogs' heads.

"So Hagrid.' Erica said slyly. Hagrid looked up at her.

"This one's not going to be protecting anything now is it?" Hagrid looked at her with a staright face.

"Not unless Professor McGonagall says she needs something guarded, no." Lily and Erica exchanged smirks.
