Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
Glenn and Qiu bought some bread, and then came to the outside of the village. Along the rugged mountain road, they saw a dilapidated two-story shack in the distance. The shack looked like it had not been taken care of for a long time, and there were everywhere on the walls There are mottled marks all over, and the ceiling is also severely damaged.
The door was closed tightly, and the windows were all boarded up, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
"So, does the secret passage from the Whomping Willow lead here?" Qiu pointed at the dilapidated shack and asked.
Glenn nodded: "Yes, this is it. The Screaming Shack."
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of "crack" next to the two of them, and a house elf appeared out of thin air.
He was wearing a clean robe made of a pillowcase, carrying a large paper bag in his hand, and holding a big fluffy ginger cat in his arms.
"Long time no see, Charles! Thank you for your hard work!" Glenn took the bag in his hand.
"This is what Charles should do!" The elf quickly bowed.
As if he was not satisfied with the Apparition journey, the big cat struggled violently twice and almost escaped from Charles' arms.
"Leave him to me!" Qiu had long wanted to pet the cat, but seeing that the house elf would soon be unable to hold him, she quickly reached out her hand.
Who can resist a kitten that is always fluffy and squishy?
Charles was relieved and quickly handed the big cat over and said respectfully: "Thank you, miss!"
There is no doubt that this big ginger cat with a somewhat grumpy temper is Crookshanks from the Magic Pet Shop.
He seemed quite satisfied with Qiu's embrace and didn't struggle much. He just adjusted a comfortable position and lay on her shoulder to calm down.
Glenn glanced at him incomprehensibly, feeling a little sour for no reason. You know, he hadn't even hugged her yet, but a cat had taken the lead...
"Okay, Charles, there's nothing going on here. You can go back to Diagon Alley." He patted the elf on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, Master." He bowed again, snapped his fingers, made another "crack" sound, and disappeared on the spot.
"Let's go in."
Glenn drew his wand and tapped lightly on the doorknob of the Shrieking Shack.Because the door had not been opened or closed for a long time, the wooden door made a harsh "squeak" sound.
Before this place was abandoned, the Marauder Team would often come here during the full moon to accompany Lupine, who had turned into a werewolf, through the most difficult moments.
At that time, Dumbledore had added a lot of protective magic here, but as time went by, these magics gradually became ineffective.
"Don't worry, it's us." Before entering, the attentive Qiu shouted specifically to avoid scaring Sirius inside.
Glenn smiled and said, "Padfoot already knows that we are coming, and he has a very good nose."
"Padfoot?" Qiu was confused.
"That's Sirius, that's his nickname because his Metamorphmagus form is a big dog."
Qiu was about to say something else when she saw a big black dog walking down the stairs on the second floor.
The squinting Crookshanks on Qiu's shoulder sniffed, jumped down, looked directly into Sirius's eyes, and swept his long furry tail back and forth.
Anyone familiar with a cat's habits knows that even though he hasn't yet made that threatening motorcycle sound from his throat, he's already poised to attack.
Crookshanks is indeed of catnives descent, and his IQ is much smarter than the average cat. It was immediately obvious that this was no ordinary dog.
Padfoot did not conflict with him and stood up directly, returning to his human form.
"Is this the pet you are talking about?" He shook his messy hair and asked, "It is indeed very smart. He can see my problem at a glance."
"His name is Crookshanks, and he's the smartest guy in the magical pet store in Diagon Alley."
Glenn knelt down and scratched his chin lightly.
"This is Padfoot, Crookshanks, your temporary master."
Crookshanks seemed to enjoy his massage, making a comfortable "purr" sound from his throat.He lazily raised his head, glanced at Sirius with squinted eyes, and gave a gentle "meow" to express his understanding.
"By the way, where's the wand? You should have brought it, right?"
Sirius rubbed his hands and asked cautiously.
Glenn raised the bag in his hand and shook it slightly.
"Here, they are all here. There are a dozen in total, enough to pick one that suits you."
As we all know, the wand chooses the wizard. If you pick up a dozen wands at random, it is obviously impossible to choose the right one so easily.
But Glenn was different. He was proficient in wand making, so choosing a wand was a piece of cake.These dozen wands were already the most likely combinations that Glenn had selected based on Sirius's body data and personality traits.
Sirius's eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward to take the paper bag, but Glenn raised his hand and dodged him.
"It's not impossible to give it to you, but we have to make an agreement." Glenn stood up, "If you can promise to keep your promise, I can give you the wand."
Crookshanks rubbed against his legs twice, then walked over to Qiu, leaned over, and lay down on the ground, exposing his belly.
For cats, this is a sign of absolute trust.I have to say that Qiu’s affinity is definitely x.
Qiu reached out her hand and gently scratched his belly, smiling from ear to ear.
"I agree." Sirius nodded without much hesitation, "You tell me what the conditions are."
Glenn thought for a while and said: "I can now confirm that the monster in the secret room is the basilisk, and the person who opened the secret room probably targeted Harry. If you rush into the castle again and attract the spirit, If you are strange, the danger will be greater. Therefore, my request is very simple. Just like yesterday, before I notify you to show up, you must not appear in the castle or in public view, including the form of Animagus."
Sirius nodded silently.Although he is reckless, he is not a fool. If he enters the castle at this time, it will definitely be harmful but not beneficial.
"Here you go, try it."
Seeing that he readily agreed, Glenn took out a cardboard box, opened it and handed it to him.
After so many years, he finally had the opportunity to hold the wand again. Even a tough guy like Sirius couldn't help but be a little excited.
His hand trembled slightly as he took out the wand from the cardboard box.
A blue light flashed, and a breeze appeared out of thin air in the screaming shack, blowing his greasy and unkempt beard and hair.
The tip of the staff trembled slightly, and a shining silver star jumped into the sky.
Glenn smiled and nodded.
“It’s not bad that I was selected so quickly.”
The door was closed tightly, and the windows were all boarded up, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
"So, does the secret passage from the Whomping Willow lead here?" Qiu pointed at the dilapidated shack and asked.
