The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 593: The Secret of the Shrieking Shack

Although in Hogsmeade Village, you can use magic at will, but the practice of Apparition is not too ostentatious after all.

As for using the shielding spell to block the trace effect on his body, Albert didn't plan to take the risk at all. If he failed, he would cause himself a lot of trouble.

Apparition practice is necessary, though, and he needs to get used to the discomfort of apparition.

Half an hour later, Albert began to stroll around the village of Hogsmeade. On the way to the Devis and Bans store, he met Fred, George, and Lee Jordan who came out of the Honey Duke candy store. Group.

"Why are you here alone?" Fred was very surprised to see Albert alone.

"Shouldn't he be dumped?" George asked in mock shock.

Lee Jordan leaned over, put his arm around Albert's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be sad, you are so popular, you can find a new girlfriend soon."

"Enough is enough for you." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes at the three of them. After breaking free from Lee Jordan's arm, he took the initiative to change the subject, "By the way, where are you going?"

"Joko's magic joke shop." George said without hesitation.

"I'm going to the Screaming Shack, will you go together?" Albert asked.

He intends to take advantage of his free time now to see if he can trigger a new mission.

"It is said that there is a ghost over there."

"By the way, when we came here just now, we found that the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor had collapsed and was completely blocked." Fred nodded and said, "Now if you want to sneak into Hogsmeade, you can only go to Duke Bee. The candy store one. Luckily, we're all going to use the Disillusionment Charm, otherwise we'd be in trouble."

"Crushed by snow?"

"Yeah, it's very thorough. Even if the snow melts, it probably won't go away unless you use magic to dig through it again."

Several people have obviously given up on that passage. Anyway, there are more passages that can secretly go to Hogsmeade Village.

While talking, they had already stepped on the snow and approached the periphery of the screaming shack, and Li Jordan also shared with them the intelligence he had collected: "It is said that about twenty years ago, the screaming shack would hear terrible screams. It was thought to be the sound of some ferocious ghost, hence the name of the shack."

"Actually, we also tried to break in, but failed." Fred looked at the gloomy house not far away and said, "The entrance to the shed may have been blocked by wooden boards. We suspect that there is a secret passage to enter. Inside the screaming shack."

"Unfortunately, we never found the secret passage, and then simply gave up." George added, "I remember mentioning this to you at the beginning."

Albert looked at the dilapidated shack in front of him, took out his wand and knocked on the door, stretched out his hand and pushed it, but the door was not pushed, not even a sound.

"There's no way to open it from the front, but it shouldn't be difficult to get in." Albert began to look at the shed, looking for the entrance.

"How are you going to get in?"

The three looked at Albert together, and they never doubted Albert's ability.

"It's simple, that's it."

Albert simply used the cutting spell to open an entrance on the right wall for them to enter and exit freely.

Just like that, the four easily entered the screaming shack.

"Why didn't we think of it before."

Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at the cut wall and said angrily.

It was a mess of dusty houses that had not been inhabited for a long time, and everything was covered with a thick layer of dust.

The wallpaper has fallen off the wall, the floor is full of stains, all the furniture is damaged, it seems that someone has broken it, the door next to it is nailed with wooden boards, and there is a strong magic on it to prevent someone from secretly opening it it.

But... the other party obviously didn't think that someone would not take the usual path and open a hole directly from the side.

All right!

Honestly, it doesn't look like a haunted house at all.

At least, after their group of uninvited intruders broke in,

No ghosts came out to meet them.

"The doors and windows here are sealed." Albert said, inspecting the wood-paneled windows, "there is still some kind of magic left on it, it should be to prevent others from breaking in."

"Come on, look here," Fred screamed.

When a few people walked quickly, they found old scratches on the surrounding furniture and walls.

"what is this?"

"Perhaps, there was a terrifying creature here." Lee Jordan had drawn out his wand and began to be vigilant around him, for fear that something would suddenly pop out and attack them.

————

"Don't worry, there is no one here, just look at the dust on the ground."

Albert reached out and flicked the scratches on the wall, glanced at the new task and said, "In the beginning, the people who were trapped here should be people, or not ordinary people, otherwise there would be no need for such a place. ."

"You mean, someone is imprisoned here?" Fred's mind was spinning quickly.

"Captivity may be inappropriate." Albert looked at the scratches on the armrest, "I suspect that a werewolf once lived here, or Hogsmeade once lived a werewolf, and every month will come here to transform.”

"Wolfman!" The three of them said in unison.

Undoubtedly, werewolves are hardly friendly fellows in the wizarding world. At least, most wizards instinctively stay away from werewolves.

"When the moon is full, the out-of-control werewolf will be very dangerous, so the doors and windows of the screaming shack are sealed with magic." Albert continued to analyze: "When the werewolf transforms, it is very painful, so it will emit sharp noises. It should be a wolf howl. As for why this place is famous, it is probably that someone deliberately spread rumors to make everyone mistakenly think that this place is haunted, so as to cover up the incident. "

"It all allows you to speculate."

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert in shock. They didn't expect that Albert could infer so many things just based on the traces and names here.

Of course they didn't know that Albert had read the book "Harry Potter", otherwise, just based on this information, he would think about it, and he would not be able to come up with anything.

"Where do you think the secret passage is?" Fred asked.

"As long as you look carefully, you will definitely find the secret passage."

Several people searched for the location of the secret passage on the first floor.

In fact, the so-called secret way is really not secret at all. It was a trapdoor that opened with a staircase down.

"Where do you think this leads?"

Whether it's Fred, George, or Lee Jordan, they're all excited at the moment.

This is the taste of adventure.

"Go down and have a look."

The secret passage is dark and cold, and the air is not smooth, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Forget it, go back!" Albert turned and walked back.

"Go back?" Fred didn't want to go back.

"I can probably guess where this leads to." Albert was ready to spoil the show again.

"where?"

"Hogwarts, this is a secret passage to Hogwarts." Albert suddenly stopped and said, "There is a problem."

"What's wrong." Lee Jordan didn't understand what he was playing.

"You mean there was once a werewolf professor at Hogwarts?"

"It may also be a werewolf student." Albert added, "The probability of a professor is relatively low, and I believe that no one is willing to take risks."

"How many secret passages are there to the outside of Hogwarts Castle?"

"I'm afraid this is the secret road leading to the bottom of the beating willow."

"Perhaps, the beating willow was planted specifically to protect this secret passage."
