Chapter 593: The Secret of Screaming Shack

Although it is possible to use magic at will in Hogsmeade Village, practicing Apparition is not too ostentatious after all.

As for using the shielding curse to block the trace effect on his body, Albert did not plan to take any risks. If he fails, he will cause a lot of trouble for himself.

However, the practice of Apparition is still necessary, he needs to adapt to the discomfort caused by Apparition.

Half an hour later, Albert began to stroll around Hogsmeade. On his way to the Devis and Bans stores, he met Fred, George, and Lee Jordan from the Honey Duke Candy Store. group.

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

"Should you be dumped?" George asked in shock.

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

"You are also enough." 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?"

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

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

He plans to take advantage of the free time now to see if he can trigger a new task in the past.

"It is said to be haunted over there."

"By the way, when we came here just now, we found that the secret passage behind the fifth-floor mirror 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 shop one. Fortunately, we all use the phantom spell, otherwise it will be troublesome."

"It was crushed by the snow?"

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

Several people had obviously abandoned the passage, anyway, there was more than that passage that could sneak to Hogsmeade Village.

As they speak, they have stepped on the snow to approach the periphery of the screaming shack. Li Qiaodan also shared with them the information he collected: "It is said that about 20 years ago, the screams of the screaming would be screaming. Everyone thinks it might be the sound of a ferocious ghost, and this shack got its name."

"Actually, we tried to break in, but failed." Fred looked at the gloomy house not far away. "The entrances of the sheds may all be blocked by wooden boards. We suspect that there is a secret road to enter. Screaming inside the shed."

"It's a pity that we never found the secret way, and then we simply gave up." George added, "I remember talking about it to you back then."

Albert looked at the dilapidated shack in front of him, drew his wand and knocked on the door, reached out and pushed, the door was not pushed, and there was no sound.

"There is no way to open it frontally, 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. They never doubted Albert's ability.

"Very 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.

In this way, the four easily entered the screaming hut.

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

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

It was a mess and dusty houses. It had been a long time without anyone living, and everything was covered with a thick layer of dust.

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

But... the other party obviously didn't think that someone would cut a hole directly from the side instead of taking the usual path.

Ok!

To be honest, it's not like a haunted house at all.

At least, no ghost came out to greet them after their uninvited group of intruders broke in.

"The doors and windows here are all sealed." Albert inspected the windows that were nailed to the boards and said, "There is still some kind of magic left on them, which should be to prevent others from breaking in."

"Come on, look here." Fred screamed.

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

"what is this?"

"Perhaps, some terrible creature was locked up here." Lee Jordan had already drawn out his wand and began to be alert to his surroundings, for fear that something would suddenly pop out to attack them.

————

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

Albert stretched his hand across the scratch 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 turned quickly.

"The imprisonment may be improperly used." Albert looked at the scratches on the handrails. "I suspect that there should have been a werewolf here, or that there was a werewolf who lived in Hogsmeade every month. Will come here to transform."

"Werewolf!" the three said in unison.

There is no doubt that werewolves are not a friendly fellow in the magic world. At least, most wizards instinctively stay away from werewolves.

"At the full moon, an out-of-control werewolf would be very dangerous, so the doors and windows of the screaming hut were sealed by magic." Albert continued to analyze: "When the werewolf transforms, it is very painful, so it will be sharp. It should be howling or howling wolf. As for why it is famous here, it is probably because someone deliberately spread rumors to make everyone mistakenly think that it is haunted here, so as to cover up this matter."

"This can make you guess."

Fred, George, and Jordan Lee all looked at Albert with shocked faces. UU reading www.uukanshu.com did not expect Albert to infer so many things based on the traces and names here.

Of course they didn't know that Albert had read the book of "Harry Potter", otherwise only this bit of information would make him think about it, and he would not be able to think of anything.

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

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

Several people searched for the secret path on the first floor.

In fact, the so-called secret path is really not secret at all. It was a trapdoor, and when it was opened, there was a downward staircase.

"Where do you think this leads to?"

Both Fred, George and Lee Jordan are very excited at the moment.

This is the taste of adventure.

"Go down and take a look."

The secret road is very dark and cold, and the air is not smooth, making him feel a little difficult to breathe.

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

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

"I probably guessed where it leads here." Albert was ready to go through the drama again.
