Chapter 143 Cat and Mouse

In 1971, Hogwarts principal Albus Dumbledore took in the 11-year-old "wewolves". Remus Lupin studied in Hogwarts, providing him with a place to transform into a screaming shack. In addition, he also planted a willow to protect it.

When villagers heard the noise and screams, they thought it was the sound of some fierce 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.

There is no fierce "beating willow" in Hogwarts in this world. At least Matthew has never seen it by the greenhouse...

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

But the "Screaming Shed" still exists and remains infamous, although Matthew doesn't know what the reason is.

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

There are many secret passages between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. These secret passages were secretly built by wizards during the "Fairy Rebellion" back then... They have a history of at least several hundred years, and several of them have even collapsed in disrepair.

All of this has nothing to do with recent principals.

...

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

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

Tom Gunter...or Tom Riddle...or Voldemort... He is probably not as powerful in this world as another world... but he is still a vicious murderer who had many lives before he became a seventeen-year-old... He is still a terrifying black wizard who can make Horcruxes at a young age...

What's even more terrible is that because of that book, he is likely to have been "waiting for the rabbit" at Hogsmeade, waiting for his "accident"!

That's why Matthew deliberately "lost his temper" and drove away Hermione and Neville.

As long as they were not with them, they would most likely not encounter any danger. After all, Mr. Tom Gunter's target was not them.

But if they follow themselves, they are most likely to be affected.

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

There is a high fence outside the "Screaming Shed" built with weeds inside, and it is desolate... In addition, the doors and windows of the house are tightly sealed, and it looks a little scary during the day.

However, these fences have been around for a while, and they can be kicked down with just one kick.

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

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

"Ahora's hole open!"

There was only a creaking sound, and the door was opened.

Matthew ran in

...

Walking into the screaming shed, locking the door.

Because the doors and windows were closed, the whole room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Fluorescent flashes lu!"

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

"Fluorescent flashes lu!"

Matthew shouted again, and a shining light suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire room. And the light has not dissipated for a long time...

This allowed Matthew to observe the surrounding environment as well

This is a messy, grey room.

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

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

"Meow!"

In a vague sense, Matthew suddenly heard a cat's meow.

But this may also be his illusion.

Matthew had no time to take care of these things, so he began to quickly find the entrance to the "secret passage" on the floor.

The secret passage connecting Hogwarts and the Screaming Shed.

There was too much dust on the floor and I couldn't see anything clearly... It was not realistic to clean it with a magic wand. Matthew hadn't learned such a complicated cleaning spell.

He could only hold the dust away with his hands and tap the floor gently at the same time. He judged whether the wooden floor was empty by sound.

After about three or five minutes of trying

Matthew soon noticed that the sound of a floor pounding was different from that of the surroundings.

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

Sure enough, this wooden floor is slightly different from the colors of other surrounding floors...

Matthew lowered his head and continued to fiddle for a moment, then he heard a loud noise, and the entire floor was lifted by him.

Everything went smoothly!

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

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

Success!

Matthew finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you pass this secret passage, you can return to Hogwarts, and by then everything will be safe...

And Matthew swore that he would never again step into Hogsmeade until Mr. Tom Gunter was arrested!

Just when Matthew was about to get into the cave

"Are you going to escape?"

A cold, a bit of banter, and a high-pitched and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

...

Hearing this strange voice, Matthew's heart couldn't help but sank.

He turned around, but found that he could not see anything.

Then, as if there was an illusion in his eyes, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on a chair with one leg broken.

"It's the illusion body curse!"

Matthew reacted quickly.

I'm afraid that long ago, this middle-aged man followed him like a cat and a mouse. However, he used the magical body spell and could not see him.

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

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

...No... Actually, he is not unfamiliar with it.

Just a few hours ago, Matthew had seen him...at the door of Pighead Bar, he was dressed as a waiter, and something was on the back.

He looked haggard and had a face that had been through vicissitudes... From the outside, he looked like a vampire than a vampire. His hair fell a lot, and his face as pale as a dead man looked like wax, twisted strangely, and his eyes seemed to be filled with blood forever...

"So that's it. It turns out that there is a secret passage in the screaming shed!" Mr. Tom Gunter sneered, "I finally understand how you escaped from me last time."

"Matthew Wakefield!"
