Chapter 440 Danger

Hermione kicked the scattered stones on the ground in front of the post office.

This store looks a bit shabby, but it is one of the few post offices that provides ultra-long-distance express delivery services.

Most post offices within the country only provide express delivery services within the country. If you cross a country or continent, you need to go to a specific place for mailing.

For example, in the "Doroo Mi Owl International Post Office" in Diagon Alley, there will be many cute large eagles to help deliver letters. As for owls... well, although they are also eagles, but... if it is too far away, it will be a bit too difficult for the owls. Already?

"Sorry for the long wait." Robert pushed open the glass door and greeted Hermione, "Do you want to send something to Mr. and Mrs. Granger?"

Hermione hesitated, "I'm a little unsure whether they will eat candy?"

Robert was stunned for a moment, and felt a little guilty when he remembered that the Grangers were dentists. "It should be... no problem, right?"

The two looked at each other, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

Suddenly, a balloon floated in front of me, with a vertical banner hanging underneath, "All the colors you want are available here - Fengya Wizard Clothing Store."

Hermione's eyes lit up, "By the way, I can buy some fun Halloween decorations and send them to them!"

So the two started to visit various stores again, and finally packed everything up and sent it away an hour later.

Afterwards, the two prepared to go back to school.

Robert and the twins had been using the passage behind a large mirror, but unfortunately it collapsed last year, and it would take a little longer to walk back to Hogwarts via the path.

Therefore, they need a faster channel.

"Oh my god... is this a haunted house?" Hermione looked at the two-story house in front of her, a little confused. As she looked carefully, she asked hesitantly, "Is it my imagination? I think this looks a bit like Is it the one mentioned in The Places of Enchantment...the Shrieking Shack?"

Robert shrugged and walked forward, "Welcome to the most haunted haunted house in the whole country!"

This is an abandoned house. Although it is called a shed, in fact, its interior is a masonry structure, and it is only decorated with bark, wooden strips and thatch on the outside. Moreover, no one has been here for a long time. After all, the thatch on the roof has almost been scraped away, leaving only some rags and tiles still barely holding on.

"Isn't there even a door..." Hermione felt helpless to complain, and together with Robert, they climbed in through the window.

Yes, the windows were still half-sealed. The two of them were careful, fearing that they would be scratched by the broken pieces of wood.

The room was very dark, so they lit their wands and looked around.

It's dirty here, with dust everywhere on the ground. The original wallpaper on the walls seems to have been severely ravaged, half-hanging there pitifully, and all the furniture has signs of damage. , none of the furniture is usable.

On the right side of the room is a wooden staircase that leads up to the second floor. However, it is quite damaged and looks like it may collapse at any time.

There are three rooms on the left.

But Robert's attention was not on the room, but on the floor.

Although it was a little dim, it was obvious that there were two series of small paw prints left on top of the dust.

His spirit suddenly became tense.

The Shrieking Shack is an absolutely hidden safe house that Principal Dumbledore personally arranged. Except for familiar people, no other creatures will come near it.

Robert also found this place by entering through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow. If he had never been here before, he would only be affected by the spell outside and subconsciously stay away from it.

Something must have come in.

Robert was sure of it.

And from the small paw prints with one missing paw, he had a very bad guess.

"Armor for protection! Armor for protection!" He cast an iron armor spell on himself and Hermione, pulled them and ran outside.

Hermione was confused. She wanted to ask something, but looking at Robert's serious expression, she didn't ask. Instead, she quickened her pace and left the place with him.

The Shrieking Shack was not far from Hogsmeade. The two quickly ran to the street and let go of Hermione's hand. Robert couldn't help but gasp for a while before he felt better.

Hermione was placed on the railing aside by him, and she quickly adjusted her breathing to swallow the burning feeling in her throat.

The young wizards who had not yet left Hogsmeade seemed to be very curious about what these two people were doing.

Robert told the students who came forward to inquire that he was fine, and asked them to go to Three Broomsticks to bring him two bottles of butterbeer. He looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was already late, but it should be enough for him to send a letter.

After waiting for a while, Hermione finally caught her breath, and then Robert warmed the butterbeer and drank it in small sips.

"What... happened just now?" Hermione asked with some confusion, "You seem to have seen something very dangerous."

"It should be very dangerous." Robert nodded, "I'm a little unsure whether I can protect you, so I can only run out first. After all, if it is the person I guess, he will probably kill us both in order to keep the secret. It explodes to the sky!"

Hermione frowned and asked, "What should we do? Are we going to let such a dangerous person roam the Shrieking Shack? If anyone else gets close accidentally, they might be killed by him."

Robert's eyes twitched. He looked at the Dementors floating at the end of the street and said helplessly, "Now is not the time to think about that guy. Hermione, please send this letter to Professor Dumbledore. I think , those dementors seem to be coming towards me?”

Hermione looked at the black smoke floating in the distance and frowned, "These guys!"

"Call your Patronus." Robert waved his wand. "The dementors may intercept the owl, so hurry up, dear, and send that letter to Professor Dumbledore!"

The silver cat appeared next to Robert. Hermione looked at the direction where the Dementor was floating again, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, summoned her Patronus, and ran towards the Owl Post Office with it.

Two dementors chased her, but more remained, and Robert counted, eight of them, my dear.

The necklace hanging around his neck emitted a faint blue light. Although the target of the greedy and evil dementors was Robert, they were unwilling to give up the delicious food in their mouths. They opened their mouths wide and passed over the heads of the little wizards. In panic, , the little wizards fell to the ground, and the screams lingered over Hogsmeade for a long time.
