Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

William had to admit that Aesop was the most talented wizard after Dean among all the wizards he had ever seen. Even though she only knew spells, she was actually self-taught and successfully learned how to apparate in one go!

The only regret is that Aesop's use of apparation consumes a lot of magic power. Generally, he needs to rest for half a day before using it again.

That evening, they were only a little distance away from the hut, and Aesop had just used Disapparation. After a brief discussion, they decided to rush back to the hut as soon as possible.

Scattered snowflakes have begun to fall from the sky, and if you delay any longer, you may be hit by a blizzard.

The two noticed that this was the place where he first encountered the invisible monster.

Since the last time they were in danger, the invisible monster has never appeared again, making them gradually forget about its existence. But now that they were revisiting the old place, they both felt a little uneasy.

The uneasiness came from a vague smell of blood. There was no doubt that something had been hunting nearby.

this is not a good sign

In order to speed up and reach this ominous place as quickly as possible, Aesop let the short-legged William sit on her shoulders.

William took out a pair of magic bows and arrows that had hardly been used and looked around on guard.

Aesop also took out his magic wand and added a few protective spells to himself and William.

But they walked far away, probably out of the range of the invisible monster, but nothing happened.

"Are we a little too nervous?" William asked quietly.

"You never make a mistake with caution." Aesop repeated what Dean had said.

"We're going back to the hut soon. We haven't seen any invisible monsters since we've lived there for so long. I think it's safe now." William relaxed and said.

Aesop suddenly stopped and said with some uncertainty: "Do you think the invisible monster will go to the hut to attack us?"

"This...is not impossible. Fortunately we came out, otherwise we might be really unlucky." William said thankfully.

While they were talking, they didn't stop. As they got closer and closer to the cabin, the smell of blood suddenly became stronger.

"Could there be other people living in the hut while we were away?" Aesop thought of a possibility.

"No way? I remember when we left, you arranged a lot of protective magic for the cabin. No one should be able to find it, right?" William said.

"My magic is only useful to Muggles. If it's a wizard, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop them." Aesop said unconfidently.

"If it's a wizard, the invisible monster shouldn't be able to succeed so easily, right?" William asked.

"I hope we are overly worried. Maybe some animal is hunting nearby." Aesop said and quickened his pace.

After passing several thick trees, the hut appeared in front of them.

However, the scene in front of them completely shocked them: the front of the torn-down hut was in a mess, and a witch covered in blood was half lying on the ground, holding her wand tightly, blocking the door of the hut; not far away from her In the distance is a lifeless wizard lying in a pool of blood.

The shocking red blood and strong bloody smell combined with the increasing wind and snow created an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

"Who is it?" After hearing the noise from Aesop, the witch nervously pointed her wand in their direction.

"Don't be nervous. My name is Aesop Seer, and I am also a witch. This used to be my home." In order to show that he was not hostile, Aesop lowered the wand in his hand.

"Are you Aesop?" the witch asked dubiously.

She knew the name from some notes that Aesop left in the cabin.

Aesop nodded and looked around: "What happened? Who attacked you?"

Seeing that help finally came, the witch's tense nerves relaxed: "I don't know... Butt said it might be an invisible monster..."

Before she finished speaking, a sharp claw suddenly appeared in front of her while she was distracted, and penetrated deeply into her chest.

"Thunderbolt explosion!" Upon seeing this, Aesop immediately threw a magic spell without thinking.

The invisible monster that gave the witch a fatal blow wanted to avoid it, but its claws were tightly held by the witch.

The witch knew that her life was short, so she tried her best to create an opportunity for Aesop to hurt the invisible monster.

The witch's efforts were not in vain. Although the invisible monster tried its best to dodge, it was still hit by Aesop's spell.

It screamed and waved its hand vigorously. The witch, whose life force had been exhausted, could no longer hold on to its arm. She was thrown out like a broken sack and fell heavily to the ground.

After the invisible monster got rid of the entanglement of the witch, it immediately entered a state of invisibility, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. No one knew whether the invisible monster was injured and ran away, or was licking its wounds in secret, preparing to find opportunities to continue attacking them.

William held up his magic bow and arrow like a frightened rabbit, aiming around constantly, mumbling something unknown.

Aesop rushed to the witch and tried to rescue her. Unfortunately, the spell that attacked the invisible monster just now inevitably affected the witch, making her injuries even more serious.

"Aesop...please...please...my child...I'll give these to you...bury me and Butt together..." The witch used her last strength and finished speaking intermittently before dying.

"Child? Hey, please make it clear!" Aesop shook the witch vigorously several times and found that she had completely lost her life.

Aesop couldn't help but feel a little confused: "William, did you hear it? She just mentioned the child."

"Why does she care so much! The most important thing now is to save your life!" William said irritably.

He felt that the shadow of being almost killed by the invisible monster last time loomed over his head again. He knew better than anyone else that the invisible monster did not escape, but instead became more ferocious because of being injured by Aesop...

William felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he might be swallowed by the other party at any time.

"How can you say that?" Aesop was a little angry at William's cold-blooded expression at the moment.

"Can you please understand the key points? The invisible monster is watching right now - if we lose our own lives, even if she does leave her child behind, she will still be killed by the invisible monster!" William said to Aesop. Very disappointing performance.

They are already in trouble, but they still have time to worry about others.

Before William finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the hut that the witch had been protecting until her death.

Could it be that the invisible monster is hiding in the hut?

The two were so startled that they never expected to be prepared for an attack from inside the hut.

"Split into pieces!" Aesop cast a magic spell on the door of the cabin.

The crumbling hut that had been in the middle of a fight was completely destroyed by Aesop's spell, and a violent cough and panicked cry for help came from the ruins.

Aesop and William looked at each other. The person in the hut was not an invisible monster.
