Chapter 11: Panic

As the sun rose, Hagrid went up to the third floor corridor to get Fluffy. "Mor'n fella" he said as he rubbed all three of Fluffy's heads. Fluffy looked at Hagrid, sniffed him and wagged his tail. After a moment of playing with Fluffy, Hagrid attached a leash to Fluffy and took him to his house for safe keeping.

Meanwhile back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore awaken and go up to the third floor to check on Fluffy but panics when he don't see Fluffy. Dumbledore notify the rest of the staff that Fluffy is loose again. "You should have gotten that thing out of here last night" replied Professor McGonagall. "Yes, you should have" complained Professor Lockhart. "That is the last thing I need to put up with today. As you know my book signing is today and I need time to look my best." Argus Filch didn't say a thing, he just grabbed Mrs. Norris and hid in the Greenhouse.

Dumbledore decided that it would be safe for Madame Pomfrey and Professor Snape to stay in the Hospital wing and Argus Filch, Mrs. Norris and Professor Sprout to stay in the Greenhouse. He advised Professor McGonagall and Professor Lockhart to go to the Gryffindor common room and stay there until further notice while he go and get Hagrid.

When Dumbledore arrived at Hagrid's house he was surprised to see Fluffy on the side of the house playing with a stick. When Fluffy smelled Dumbledore's presence he dropped the stick and attacked him. The middle head grabbed Dumbledore's left shoulder blade, the third head grabbed Dumbledore's left leg and the first head bit Dumbledore in his right butt cheek.

When Hagrid heard Dumbledore holler out in pain he ran out with the harmonica and started playing. Fluffy immediately let go of Dumbledore are fell asleep. Hagrid explained to Dumbledore that he got Fluffy early in the morning while everyone was asleep so that no one would panic and he walked Dumbledore to the hospital wing. After making sure he got there safely, Hagrid then stopped by the Greenhouse and the Gryffindor common room to let everyone know that the building is safe.
