Chapter 231
Crookshanks lazily stretched his body into a circle, curled up on the messy haystack, but the temperature in the cave was too low, and the haystack under him couldn't give it any heat at all. It provides a touch of warmth.
Dumbledore still hasn't returned to Hogwarts.
This is the news from Crookshanks today. For the big black dog, this is undoubtedly good news. However, thinking of another powerful wizard currently entrenched in Hogwarts school, the big black dog couldn't help it. Depressed.
On the day of Harry's competition, he was under the stands on the playground and witnessed the movement made by the young wizard named Amosta Bryan, which brought great shock to the teaching staff and young wizards present at that time, including himself. What a shock.
Since it failed to infiltrate Hogwarts last time, it has been looking for the right time to infiltrate again. Originally, during the days when Dumbledore left school and the dementors no longer held the school gate, it was an excellent time to make a move. However, the young wizard who couldn't figure out the depth made him dare not act rashly.
It was only later that it learned that the young wizard had been appointed by Albus Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic to be the head of the Office of Student Security, and that Dumbledore had set up this non-existent position precisely for him.
Therefore, until it can't figure out what kind of arrangement that Brain has made to catch it, it doesn't want to take the risk again. After all, the result of another failure may be death. It is not afraid of death, but at least it must kill that despicable traitor.
It has already been planned, and the next time to do it is the Christmas holiday two weeks later.
At that time, the little wizards in the school will leave the school one after another to spend the Christmas vacation with their families, and there is a high probability that the school staff will also leave the school, including the one named Amosta Bryan who may not be there, and Harry .According to the information it has inquired, Harry and the boy named Ron have spent the Christmas holidays at school in the past few years. If Dumbledore has not come back, then this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. .
The night was getting darker, and the sharp cold current like a knife poured in from the narrow hole. The cave that was already dripping into ice became even colder. The big black dog with hoarfrost on its face was wagging its hands and thinking so.
aim--
Seeing the big black dog trembling like a sieve, Crookshanks stretched his limbs and stood up, pointing to a certain direction outside the cave entrance with gloomy eyes.
To escape the cold nights in the Shrieking Shack?
The big black dog understood Crookshanks' suggestion, but after a little hesitation, it rejected Crookshanks' suggestion.
The Screaming Shack is now the experimental site for that Amosta Bryan, and he may come back at any time. Even if he is in the form of an Animagus, the possibility of being recognized is not high, and Black is unwilling to be with him. He bumped head-on.
The big black dog whimpered, struggling to express his feelings to Crookshanks, but Crookshanks still pointed his eyes at the Screaming Shack and meowed softly,
The professor hadn't been back for two months, and he probably forgot about the place.
But the village is still patrolled by Aurors and Dementors, and it would be just as bad if they rushed to the Screaming Shed - the big black dog waggled and howled, and it took a while for Crookshanks to understand What exactly do 'Aurors' and 'Dementors' stand for.
Those 'things' haven't been in that room—
Crookshanks' beard was trembling, and his amber eyes shot out a sharp light. The meaning expressed in the next bark completely defeated the vigilance of the big black dog:
Stay here and you'll freeze to death.
Wait until Amostar has identified two secret passages in Hogwarts Castle that Filch doesn't know about - behind a mirror on the fourth floor and the one Harry used last time leading to the basement warehouse of the Honeydukes Candy Store After checking whether there were traces of Black passing through the secret passage, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night.
creak creak!
The snow on the playground that was cleared only yesterday morning was thick enough to cover Amosta's knees after more than ten hours. The world is like a frozen Muggle photo, as cold as the surface of the moon.
On the side of the playground, the withered willow branches of the magical Whomping Willow were swaying wildly with the bitter cold wind. Amosta stood outside its attack range and stared at it quietly. For some reason, he had a A premonition that he will find something here.
Hogwarts, wearing a white cloak, was in deep sleep, and Hagrid's hut by the edge of the Forbidden Forest was also dimly lit. Amosta took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that his lungs were not comfortable. The temperature of this year's winter It reminded him of the winter when he was first born into this world.
hum--
The inconspicuous buzzing was quickly taken away by the howling wind, Amosta waved his wand, and after a magic shield that was not much different in color from the snow covered his whole body, he stepped into the attack of the Whomping Willow scope.
Like a fire dragon whose territory has been violated, this precious and magical plant suddenly became furious. Hundreds of willow branches scattered the north wind like whips, making crackling noises.
It's snowing!
The surface of the white magic shield is like the surface of a calm lake hit by raindrops. Under the whiplash of the storm, slight ripples appear circle after circle. Amosta slowly pulls out the calf that is sunk in the snow. , One step at a time, one step at a time, withstood the hoarse attack of the Whomping Willow, and came to its thick roots.
The extremely penetrating gaze cast by Amostar has already broken through the barriers of layers of snow and accompanying vines, and saw through the hole hidden under it.
Lightly flicking the wand, the frozen snow floated up lightly. Amosta squatted down and carefully observed the traces of the hole.
The soil under the snow-capped layer was frozen solid, and on the rough surface, there were no human footsteps left behind, but it was covered with messy footprints of cats and dogs.
"Eh Crookshanks and Fang?"
Amostar groaned softly.
The only rain in the past few months was the last time Gryffindor played Hufflepuff. After that, the temperature dropped sharply, and there was no warm sunny day again, and it fell even more this week. It snowed for several days, so the traces left at that time were lucky to be preserved.
Judging from the footprints alone, it seems that Black did not enter Hogwarts through this secret passage. However, Amosta still has doubts in his heart. Since Fang knows that there is a secret passage under the Whomping Willow, Hagrid must also know Yes, but he never said it to himself.
Anyway, I still have to go down and have a look.
Amosta stared at the dark hole for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing moving under the hole, he lit his wand, created a gust of wind around him, supported him and floated down slowly.
The entrance of the tunnel is a very smooth dirt slope, and the ground of the dense tunnel connecting the dirt slope is dry, and there is no seepage of rain and snow, but the problem is that this tunnel is too low, and Amosta can only bend it Standing inside with one's waist bent, looking at the situation, it seems that this secret passage is not for wizards of normal height to use at all.
There were still only footprints left by cats and dogs on the dusty ground, and there were no traces of goblins or house elves. This made Amosta a little disappointed, so after thinking briefly, he gave up walking step by step. The plan at the other end of the tunnel.
call--
A group of gloomy shadows swiftly swept across the narrow and dire passage. Amosta observed the tunnel and the space above the tunnel from a unique magical perspective. He found that the tunnel was indeed extending towards Hogsmeade. of.
A distance of two or three miles may take hours to reach on foot, but Amosta flew over in just a few minutes, and then, at the beginning of a long gentle slope, Amosta turned back into a wizard Because the exit is coming soon, if there is any situation over there, Amostar must make sure he can respond in time.
Illusion, breath concealment, floating--
Amosta gave himself a lot of stats, and then continued walking along the gentle slope. After a few minutes, before a sharp bend, Amosta took a deep breath and stepped out.
