Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

"The black magic detector just now——?" Daphne looked at Les, her eyes full of suspicion. She always felt that the stick didn't seem to have malfunctioned halfway.

"As the Auror lady said, it's broken," Rice responded.

In his opinion, there was indeed something wrong with the detector. It was forcibly counting things that were not black magic items as black magic items. Isn't this broken?

Following the route taken by the Thestral carriage at the beginning of the school year, Les took Daphne to Hogsmeade.

Today's Hogsmeade village has become extremely lively because it is crowded with Hogwarts students. In order to take over this "vast wealth", the merchants in Hogsmeade Village are also working hard. Not only to fill up the shelves, but also to supply various new products, which may not be enough to satisfy students with bulging wallets and high consumption desires.

Daphne came to Hogsmeade for the first time. She stared with big eyes, looking left and right, almost dazzled.

"Let's go to Honeydukes first, then visit Zuko's Joke Shop, and finally go to the Three Broomsticks for some food? Are you interested in the most haunted house in Britain - the Screaming Shack?" Trying to keep his eyes open. After moving away from the windows of major stores, Daphne took out the plan she had made before and asked Les what he thought.

boom!

Les lifted up a piece of floorboard, waved his wand with his backhand to eliminate all the dust, then stood up and jumped into the Shrieking Shack.

There are indeed such things as "ghosts" in the wizarding world, such as the banshees active in Scotland and Ireland. If there really was such a thing in the Shrieking Shack, then he would have to carefully judge its threat to Hogwarts. The scream of the banshee could be fatal.

"Are all these curses meant to imprison someone?"

"An anti-lock spell, a permanent sticking spell, and a spell to strengthen the wooden board. Tsk tsk, the person who sealed the windows of this room obviously doesn't want people from outside to come in, nor does he want people from inside to come out." He felt it carefully. The spells on the wooden boards revealed the magic spells attached to the Shrieking Shack like countless treasures.

"Hey!!!" Daphne felt her scalp go numb when she saw Les taking the initiative to enter the area of ​​the Screaming Shack.

Les walked around the house again, and then found a secret passage that led to an unknown place.

Les and Daphne analyzed what might have happened bit by bit, but there were too few clues and they couldn't tell the reason.

Les:…

But it is such an illusory "ghost" that can scare her.

The tunnel is extremely long and winding. After walking for a long time, a blur of light finally appeared in front of us.

It looked like the marks of wolf claws, and Les had a bold guess in his mind.

Daphne blinked: After Les explained it this way, it seemed like this place wasn't so scary anymore.

The Shrieking Shack sat slightly higher than the other houses in the village, and its windows were boarded up. Standing by the fence and looking into the garden, there are overgrown weeds inside. Coupled with the rumors of the Screaming Shack, anyone standing here can't help but feel terrified.

After quickly dodging the Whomping Willow's attack, Les retreated into the tunnel.

Thank you, Daphne, for single-handedly bringing the four of us down.

"It doesn't exist. I don't feel the sealing magic here. There are just -" Rice patted the wooden board on the window and said, "Just a few ordinary and common magic spells."

Uh hahahaha, here comes the update!

"It is said that there are very ferocious evil spirits here. Even the ghosts of Hogwarts will not come here. That Nearly Headless Nick told me that he heard that there is a group of very rough people living here." He took a look. Daphne couldn't help but shiver in the deserted garden.

The unknown is the greatest source of fear. If you tell Daphne that there is a giant monster living here, or even tell her that there is a fire dragon inside, it will be difficult to arouse the fear in her heart.

After Les emerged from the tunnel, before he could take two breaths of fresh air, he heard an explosion as the air was broken.

He knew how to deal with this rare and magical creature. All he had to do was find a scar on the root of the tree and poke it to restore calm. But before Les could take action, the sound of the Whomping Willow outside suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a huge black dog with sleek fur rushed into the tunnel.

After coming up, he carefully looked at the surrounding layout and found that this was what a long-abandoned house should look like. The furniture in the house was covered with dust, and most of the furniture was damaged. It seemed that the person who lived here before had a bad temper.

Daphne was speechless. She couldn't answer either question.

"Really? But -" Daphne wanted to tell Les about the rumors she had heard, but Les interrupted her.

After a while, she remembered the seals under the school and quickly asked: "Could it be the same as the seals in the dungeon? Someone sealed a group of evil spirits in this wooden house..."

"All the information about the Screaming Shack are rumors." Les turned around and looked at Daphne, "And what you saw is the real fact. Tell me, did you notice anything strange here? ? Let me ask you another question, what is it that allows the so-called ghost to stay in this small shabby house for decades? "

Les carefully observed the cabin in front of him, and did not see any signs of life in it. The surrounding residences kept a sufficient distance from the Shrieking Shack, so there was no need to worry about the female ghost causing harm to nearby residents.

"Things are getting more and more interesting." He went straight into the tunnel and walked forward. Daphne followed him and walked into this narrow secret passage together.

"Okay." Daphne led Les towards a slope.

"Don't worry, there are no dark creatures, magical animals or curses here. It's just an ordinary, abandoned cabin." Les felt the fear in Daphne's heart, so he took the initiative to comfort her.

"Huh?" Les noticed something was wrong. He bent down and carefully observed a claw mark left on the foot of the bed.

Among these stores, Les is of course most interested in Honeydukes. It is said that there are magic candies that sell well all over the world. New products from major candy companies will also be sold here. He will never miss it.

'Why don't you go in and take a look? ’ An idea flashed through Les’ mind and he quickly put it into action.

The second most interesting place was the Shrieking Shack. He really wanted to see what Daphne said was the "most haunted" house.

----

"Perhaps he was drugged, or there was a curse around him?"

Now he knew where the secret passage ended.

"Go to the Shrieking Shack first?" After learning that there was such a magical place near Hogwarts, Les decided to go to the Shrieking Shack first.

"Let's go in and take a look first." Les took out his wand, pointed it at the ground, and soon dug out a very deep U-shaped pit. He bypassed the defenses on the walls and windows through the deep pit, and reached the Shrieking Shack.

She didn't really want to go in, but it was more scary to stay outside alone, so she followed Les cautiously and stepped into the garden of the Shrieking Shack together.

"Then why are there only 'ghost screams' and no calls for help?"

This update is very fresh, please take a look!

The next update will have to wait until tonight.
