Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 92 Screaming Shack
There is a lonely house on the hill outside Hogsmeade Village. This house is said to be the most haunted place in England, even the aborigines of Hogsmeade Village dare not approach it.

After the rain stopped, Maureen politely asked a small-eyed wizard in a snakeskin coat on the street about the location of the Shrieking Shack.

"Follow the street to leave Hogsmeade village. There is a small slope there. When you climb up, you will see a house. Just look at it from a distance. Don't get close. There are terrible things living inside." The little-eyed wizard warned road.

"What scary thing?" Maureen asked.

"Wraiths, vampires, werewolves, as long as you can think of it, it's all there." The small-eyed wizard said very seriously.

Mo Lin didn't know whether to believe it or not. After thanking him, he walked outside along the streets of the village.Because of the heavy rain, there weren't any curious students coming here, so Mo Lin didn't meet anyone else along the way.

There is an old dilapidated house on the top of the hill in the distance. There is a hole in the corner of the eaves. Green vines are covering the walls of the Shrieking Shack. All the doors and windows are nailed tightly. The grass is overgrown, half a person's height.

Mo Lin looked around and found no one, so he stooped and got into the half-human tall grass, stepped deep and shallow in the muddy grass, and struggled to get close to the Shrieking Shack.

The surroundings are quiet, the wind is blowing, and the water droplets are dripping from the eaves, which is very clear in this quiet mountain.

Maureen is very courageous. He is not afraid of wraiths and werewolves. Souls are generally not aggressive. Werewolves can only transform when the moon is full. As for vampires, he just stopped by the strange vegetable shop in Hogsmeade Bought a garlic.

"Hope the garlic works."

Maureen found the front door of the Shrieking Shack, knocked on it with his wand, and yelled "Alahoo hole is open", but the door seemed to be sealed by some kind of spell, and he couldn't open it.He turned around again and saw a wooden board that was about to fall. The wooden board was originally used to seal the window, and the glass of the window had already been broken.

He tore off the board desperately, climbed in through the small window, stepped on the creaking floor, the floor was soaked by rain, the dust was soaked into sludge by the rain, and the floor of the whole first floor was damp Unbearable.

"Fluorescent flashes."

The tip of Maureen's wand shone with light, slightly dispelling the darkness, and the ceiling upstairs was still ticking, as if it was due to a water leak, and the sound was very eerie in the empty room.

The place he crawled into was a bedroom. There was a broken bed in the bedroom. The bed board had long since disappeared, and there was only a wooden shelf. Next to it was a crooked wardrobe. The wardrobe originally had four legs, but one leg seemed to be bitten off by a mouse. , leaning against the wall, with a cabinet door open.

Mo Lin walked over carefully, he had to be careful not to step on the air, because many places on the floor looked fragile and seemed to break if stepped on.

"If this is Sir Cadogan's home, maybe his portrait should be somewhere near here."

Maureen walked towards the wardrobe leaning against the wall, and gently opened the other door of the wardrobe——

Whoa!

Accompanied by a few sharp chirps, a dozen small shadows came out of the closet with flapping wings, and rushed towards Mo Lin.

These little people were no bigger than a hand, and their bodies were covered with thick black hair, revealing two rows of pointed teeth, and their little fingers had sharp claws.

"Unlucky, it's Hu Meizi!"

Mo Lin flicked out a white light with quick eyes and hands, and softly shouted "All petrified", and the two foxes flying in the front suddenly fell to the floor with a plop, making a hard sound.But there are still a dozen or so Hu Meizi rushing towards him one after another.

"The flames are raging!"

Maureen's wand spewed out a burst of flames, and the flames radiated hot flames in front of them, and the foxes screamed and scattered.

"Without the rain, my fire is still pretty good."

Satisfied, Mo Lin controlled the flame, and drove the foxes out. These foxes looked like little monkeys with two wings on their backs, and they liked to hide in dark and damp corners. Things like flames are obviously scary.

He checked the closet, and there was a nest of little vixens in the closet. They were hairless, fleshy, unable to fly, and were crawling around in the closet in a panic.

"You are lucky."

Mo Lin didn't intend to burn Hu Meizi to death. Although these things were pests, he wasn't here to kill them. He checked the whole house and found no picture frames. He walked out of the bedroom and went to the main hall.

There was a musty smell in the main hall, and the floor was still covered with carpets from years ago. The blankets had been bitten by moths, and the patterns on them could not be distinguished. There were several chairs and tables with missing arms and legs. Crooked.

The wall was pasted with paper that was about to rot, and there were some strange claw marks on the wall, which really looked like scratches from werewolves. Molin even saw many beast bite marks on the back of the chair.

He checked the living room on the first floor and found nothing unusual, but saw a secret passage under the carpet.

"This should be the secret passage of the Marauder's Map that James mentioned?"

Maureen pulled away the wooden plank of the hole and glanced inside. A rotten musty smell choked him, and he covered the wooden plank again.This passage is probably under the Whomping Willow leading to Hogwarts. There is no need for Maureen to go back to school through this passage.

He went to the second floor by stepping on the stairs that were about to collapse. The door on the second floor was severely deformed, as if it had been smashed by something, and the whole room looked chaotic. But it has collapsed.

"No, is this really Sir Cadogan's home?" Maureen was puzzled.

He walked down the stairs and sighed, maybe Sir Cadogan really didn't leave the last painting, and his trip was wasted.

Unwillingly, Maureen searched the whole house again, but he still didn't find any photo frames. Just as he was about to leave here along the original path, there was a slight creaking sound in the house, which seemed to come from under the stairs .

The sound came so abruptly that Mo Lin's nerves immediately tensed up!
When he had just come in, there was no other sound in the room except the creaking of planks and the sound of water leaking.Then there seemed to be light footsteps coming from under the stairs, and the footsteps creaked on the floor.

This is the sound of human footsteps!
"Who?"

Maureen raised his wand vigilantly and pointed to the dark place of the stairs. He couldn't help thinking of werewolves, wraiths, and vampires. He ruled out werewolves first, and he wasn't afraid of ghosts, so the rest were vampires.

But isn't a vampire an animal?

Maureen held the garlic in one hand, and his wand in the other was ready to strike at any moment.

"it's me!"

A person slowly came out from the shadow of the stairs. With the help of the dim light of the wand, Mo Lin opened his eyes wide in surprise, and he saw the person in front of him clearly.
