Hogwarts Outsider

Chapter 143: Cat and mouse

In 1971, Hogwarts Principal Albus Dumbledore took in the 11-year-old "Werewolf" and Remus Lupin to study at Hogwarts, and provided him with a transformation site, Screaming Shed, and he also planted A beating willow was protected.

When the villagers heard the noise and screaming, they thought it was the sound of a ferocious ghost. Dumbledore encouraged people to spread such rumors to keep people away and ensure everyone's safety.

Of course, the above is a story from another world.

Hogwarts in this world does not have a fierce "beater willow", at least Matthew has not seen it by the greenhouse...

And before, Matthew had never heard of the name "Remus Lupin".

But the "Screaming Shed" still exists, and the notoriety remains, although Matthew doesn't know exactly why.

But she knew very well that the secret tunnel between Screaming Shack and Hogwarts must also exist.

There are many secret passages between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. These secret passages were secretly constructed by wizards during the "Goblin Rebellion"... They have at least a few hundred years of history. The secret road has even fallen into disrepair and collapsed.

All this has nothing to do with recent principals.

...

For Matthew Wickfield, he just wanted to find a way back to Hogwarts as soon as possible.

Because in Hogsmeade Village, there is an extremely terrifying demon...

Tom Gunter...or Tom Riddle...or Voldemort...He is in this world, and he is probably not as strong as the other world...but he was still a seventeen-year-old man before he got in his hands. The murderous murderer with many lives... He is still a terrifying dark wizard who can make Horcrux at a young age...

What's more terrible is that because of that book, he has a high probability of staying in Hogsmeade, waiting for his own arrest!

That's why Matthew deliberately "tanked" and drove Hermione and Neville away.

As long as the two of them are not with themselves, there is a high probability that they will not encounter any danger. After all, the target of Mr. Tom Gunter is not them.

But if they follow themselves, they will most likely be affected.

Matthew ran with all his strength, ran up the hillside, and came to the house.

There was a high fence built outside the "Screaming Shed", and it was overgrown with weeds, and it was desolate... In addition, the doors and windows of the house were tightly sealed, and it looked a little crooked during the day.

But these fences are quite old, and you can knock them down with a single kick.

Then Matthew ran wildly among the weeds and continued to run towards the hut

The door of "Screaming Shack" was locked from inside, and Matthew pulled out his wand without hesitation:

"Ahora hole open!"

Only a creak was heard and the door was opened.

Matthew ran in

...

Entered the screaming shed and locked the door.

As the doors and windows were closed, the whole room was dark, and nothing was clear.

"Fluorescence flashes lu!"

As Matthew yelled softly, a faint light shone in the room, but it was not enough...

"Fluorescence flashes lu!"

Matthew shouted again, and a shining light suddenly appeared, illuminating the whole room. And this light hasn't dissipated for a long time...

This allows Matthew to observe the surrounding environment

This is a messy, gray room.

There was dust everywhere, and even a little choking; the windows were not closed, but were sealed by wooden boards from the inside; the furniture was broken, and the wallpaper on the walls was peeled off...

It can be seen that this house has been abandoned for a long, long time.

"Meow!"

Vaguely, Matthew heard a meow suddenly.

But this may also be his illusion.

Matthew didn't have time to take care of these things, and he quickly searched for the entrance to the "secret path" on the floor.

The secret road connecting Hogwarts to the Screaming Shack.

There is so much dust on the floor that I can't see anything... It is unrealistic to use a magic wand to clean up. Matthew hasn't learned such a complicated cleaning spell.

He could only hold the dust away with his hands while tapping the floor lightly, judging by the sound that there was no space under the wooden floor.

After trying this for about three to five minutes

Matthew quickly noticed that the sound of a piece of floor tapping was different from the surroundings.

He quickly took off his robe and wiped the dust around...

Sure enough, the color of this wooden floor is slightly different from other floors around...

Matthew lowered his head and continued fiddling for a while, then only heard a loud noise, and the whole floor was lifted by him.

Everything is going smooth!

Then, only an "unfathomable" cave appeared in front of Matthew.

Sure enough, this is a secret path... The entrance of the secret path is not wide, but it is enough for a wizard to pass.

It succeeded!

Matthew was finally relieved.

As long as through this secret passage, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can return to Hogwarts. By then, everything will be safe...

And Matthew vowed that he would never set foot in Hogsmeade again before Mr. Tom Gunter was arrested!

Just when Matthew was about to get into the cave

"Are you going to run away?"

An icy, ridiculous, high-pitched and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

...

Hearing this strange voice, Matthew's heart sank.

He turned around, only to find that he could not see anything.

Then, as if an illusion appeared in the eyes, a middle-aged man sitting on a chair with a broken leg suddenly appeared.

"It's a phantom spell!"

Matthew quickly reacted.

I'm afraid that long, long ago, this middle-aged man followed him like a cat and a mouse. It's just that he used the phantom spell and couldn't see him.

And what he did to escape...maybe in his eyes, it was just a joke.

Matthew forced himself to calm down and looked at this strange man...

...No...In fact, he is no stranger.

Just a few hours ago, Matthew had seen him once...It was at the entrance of the Pig's Head Bar. He was dressed as a waiter, and something was pouring over there.

He looked haggard, a face that had suffered through vicissitudes of life... From the outside, he looked more like a vampire than a vampire. The hair has fallen a lot, the pale face of a dead man looks like wax, weirdly twisted, and the whites of his eyes seem to be filled with blood forever...

"That's it, there is also a secret road in the screaming hut!" Mr. Tom Gunter said with a sneer: "I finally know how you escaped from me last time."

"Matthew Wickfield!"
