time at hogwarts

285. Eyes in the Screaming Shack



The noisy environment and the feeling of hiding their heads and tail made them slightly uncomfortable, and the wizard they went to join the table looked at them with obvious wariness. ..

His actions caused Ron to have a little misunderstanding. He looked at him nervously, and then asked in a low voice if he was a wizard who came to sell special items.

Harry and Magos were both moved when they heard Ron's question. Looking at this person, they also thought it was a bit similar. Could it be that they were so lucky to meet a special businessman as soon as they came here?

"You have the wrong person." A hoarse voice said from the other party's mouth.

"I'm just a passerby, not here to trade."

His words made Ron a little disappointed, but he apologized quickly.

"You are students of Hogwarts, right?" Just when Magos and the others were about to finish drinking beer and leave, the sloppy wizard suddenly asked.

"No." McGoss answered before anyone could speak.If this guy has anything to do with the school, they may be criticized for drinking. Although this is the default rule, it is different when it is exposed.

The sloppy wizard looked at the beer in front of them thoughtfully, drank the wine in his hand, and then walked out of the Pig's Head Bar unsteadily.

"This person is so weird." Hermione only drank a little bit of the beer in front of her, and she didn't like the taste very much.

"It's not surprising that anyone here wears a mask." Ron has not given up the idea of ​​looking for a special businessman, and is looking around at the masked wizards around him.Flashdance..

"Hey, friends, I think we need to think about where to eat lunch now." McGoss looked at his watch, and it was not long until noon.

"The Three Broomsticks Bar," Ron said casually, pretending not to care.

“Did you see the restaurant when we came over?”

"I guess not." Harry thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Hermione, do you have somewhere you want to go?"

"I think you'd better ask Parvati this question. They should be looking forward to the next lunch."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go find them after drinking. After lunch we go to the Shrieking Shack. I've heard of its name a long time ago."

"I heard you were haunted. George said the residents of Hogsmeade thought there might be creatures of the dark arts living there."

"It's impossible, Dumbledore won't allow it. That should be a rumor."

"Whether it's true or not, it's one of the must-visit places for every student who comes to Hogsmeade, isn't it?" After saying that, he drank the remaining beer in one gulp.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron also drank their beers in one gulp. Seeing them all drink down, Hermione closed her eyes and prepared to take a sip too, but was stopped by Magos.

"Don't get drunk."

Hermione looked a little unconvinced,

In the end, Hermione couldn't drink it all because Magos helped her out.

"Don't underestimate me. My father has a good drinking capacity. From a genetic point of view, my drinking capacity is not bad either..."

"What are genetics?" Ron asked curiously, focusing on something different.

Hermione didn't want to argue after being pushed by Ron.

Coincidentally, they met them at Zuko's joke shop without having to go to the bar.

"I've come to fulfill my promise."

Parvati looked very happy. She ran to Lavender and chatted with her for a while.

"We want to try Mrs. Puddifu's snacks." She came over with several girls and said.

“That teahouse”

"Correct."

"Let's go then." As soon as Magos finished speaking, the girls cheered.

"Things there are very expensive." He was a little surprised by the girls' reaction.

"It's okay, but there are so many wizards on dates there, we're not too embarrassed to go there."

"Then why are you embarrassed now?"

"It's not like you three guys are here anymore," she replied matter-of-factly.

Magos' mouth twitched. The adjective "male" can be used here.

As Magos had guessed, the teahouse was almost all pink, and there were already many men and women making love to each other inside.

It was probably the first time for the fat Mrs. Puddieff to see such a large number of little wizards coming to her place for lunch. However, after a brief surprise, she quickly led them to a separate private room and used magic to temporarily Take out a long table.

After Mrs. Puddieff left to prepare snacks, the little wizards in the private room all laughed in unison.

"I think we were probably the first group of people to come to her place for lunch. Otherwise she wouldn't have been there."

The person who came to deliver the food was not a waiter, but a group of magic plates floating in the air, with more than a dozen cups of tea on them.

Magos picked up the tea and took a sip. It was a little sweet and fragrant.The rest was no different from ordinary tea, maybe there was, but he couldn't drink it.

Not long after, all kinds of snacks and cakes were served. The girls cheered, and then started eating without any restraint.

"A free lunch is delicious." This is Lavender's emotion.

Magos was also very interested in sweets, but he was a little tired of just eating desserts. He put down his knife and fork when he was about seven or eight full.

After lunch, McGoss originally wanted the girls to bring back another small cake, but they refused. Although they said they didn't want him to waste it, McGoss still felt that they were temporarily tired of eating.

"Where are you going next?"

"The Screaming Shack."

Parvati's eyes lit up,

"We are also going to visit, so let's go together."

The Shrieking Shack was further to the right of the Hogsmeade gate, so they were now back not far from the Three Broomsticks.

"Do you need to pay attention for a moment?"

Parvati shook her head no, and then they walked directly over the bar and along the uneven path on the right.

The Screaming Shack is located in a relatively remote location and is surrounded by many tall trees, so it feels eerie when you get there.

"I heard this is the most haunted place in the UK." Probably because of the large number of people.The girls were not at all panicked by the legend and even stayed as close to the shack as possible.

"Maybe it's where the ghosts from Hogwarts come to vacation," McGoss joked.

Then they tried to get into the shed, but admittedly, the shed looked old and not airtight, but they couldn't find a place to get in.

"It seems that this house is really for ghosts to live in. There is not even a door, and the windows are sealed tightly."

"And it can't be demolished. It seems to have been strengthened by a curse."

"I really want to see what it's like inside. Do you think this is really where the ghosts from the school come back?"

Unlike the little wizards who gathered together in twos and threes to chat after exploring, Harry was staring at a tiny gap to observe carefully. He just seemed to see something flashing past there.After thinking for a while, he climbed up and looked through the gap.

At this moment, an eye suddenly appeared from inside and looked out. Time seemed to have stopped for a second, and then Harry trembled and fell directly from the top.

"Yes, there are eyes." He pointed at the spot in panic and stammered.
