Where wizards gather, strange things tend to happen, or some weird magical creatures breed.
As the only all-wizard village in Great Britain, Hogsmeade naturally has many strange things happening.
But wizards are cruel people who are accustomed to strange things, so they don't care too much.
A hundred years ago, there was a famous haunted store here.
That shop is a century-old shop, but if there are no descendants, no one will inherit it.
Later, the Ministry of Magic planned to auction it off to raise some funds, but it was returned after being sold several times. Because it's haunted.
The owner here was once a brilliant wizard, and he studied puppet magic in the hundreds of years when black magic was still prevalent.
He built a huge studio and residence underground under the house, where he made various dolls.
They didn't do any evil, they just developed hobbies and made figurines, and no one could say anything.
But long after his death, strange things began to happen here.
The remaining magic power began to activate some dolls, and more importantly, a fey creature - the Troublemaker - was born here.
Similar to Peeves, but although Peeves is naughty, he is still afraid of the professor.
This troublemaker will make trouble for anyone who comes.
Three buyers in succession considered themselves unlucky and returned the goods. So much so that it was empty.
Later I heard that a powerful wizard bought the store, but it closed after a few years.
Then the wizard disappeared and the house belonged to the public again.
After all these years, it has never been sold again.
Ted valued this underground palace, reused waste, and made this arrangement.
There are many monsters in the underground maze now, most of them are recycled dolls, and some are smokers that Ted put in.
This thing is very powerful. It cannot cause physical damage, but it can directly attack the enemy's lungs.
Because it's just a wisp of smoke, most spells are useless, even the Iron Armor Curse can't be defended against.
It doesn't work even if the wind blows it, it doesn't burn it if it's burned by fire, it doesn't soak it if it's flooded, it doesn't work if it's torn apart.
When the friends encountered this thing for the first time, they used all kinds of methods and were forced to run away.
But "luckily", on the way, he saved the lame Ron who was being chased by the puppet spider.
The puppet spider had legs made up of more than a dozen puppet arms and thighs, and several puppet heads. Not to mention Ron, Harry was frightened!
This look inspired Ron's potential, and he ran as fast as 100 meters with one leg.
"Book of Adventure" and the battle with wizards gave the friends a wealth of combat experience and a mature mentality. Ted was very satisfied with their performance.
Now it's time to see if we can unleash their potential and use the Patronus Charm.
…
And here, Sirius and the two finally had to accept the cruel truth that Peter was still alive and might even be the culprit back then.
Peter, on the other hand, was already very skilled at running to the Shrieking Shack.
There are quite a few haunted buildings in Hogsmeade, and the Shrieking Shack is one of them.
But this was caused by Lupine's transformation when Sirius and the others were in school more than ten years ago.
Perhaps it was because it was so familiar that Peter immediately chose to hide here.
He will wait until night and then go away!
At this time, he had not thought about going to Voldemort. After all, it was better to be a mouse than to live under Voldemort.
The main reason is that Ron's friends all have pets now, and they are always eyeing him. In addition, Ted puts too much pressure on him, and he is like a teenage version of Voldemort.
He was worried about betraying the gang, so he took this opportunity and planned to leave.
However, Ted had already planted the coordinates on him. Let alone the Shrieking Shack, as long as he was within Great Britain, he would not have to run away.
His two best friends have now gone to look for him.
However, there was one change that Ted did not expect.
It was Lupine who was discovered by Snape when he was going out.
Because of his identity as a werewolf, Lupine is actually a bit introverted and has low self-esteem. He usually stays in school and rarely goes out. Let alone Hogsmeade.
In addition, Snape saw Sirius meeting halfway, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong between the two of them!
Follow me!
Thus, fate once again intertwined with the Screaming Shack, the place where friendship began.
…
"Hermione! One more, I can't hold on anymore!" Ron asked for help in the bear mecha.
Hermione was smart after all, and casually took this little bear mecha that was already a development souvenir.
This allowed Ron, who had a broken leg, not to be a hindrance and to become a fighting force.
In this underground corridor, Unit 1 is too big to be used, and the Little Bear Mecha is just right - the language function has been repaired~
Ron was in the front row, blocking the attacks of seven or eight different dolls. As a front-rower, his hatred is really stable.
Ron: Why are they always targeting me?
Jerry: The shortest fence is the easiest to jump!
However, the puppet is not a problem, but there is a smoker circling around, trying to get into the mecha and mess with him. There's no way to prevent this!
This thing has caused enough suffering for the friends. The only thing that is certain now is that Neville's golden light is somewhat useful, but he can only use it on himself.
Now Ron was asking for help, hoping that Hermione would use the thunderclap of the discharged bottle again.
But Hermione just said angrily: "No more! There is only one bottled lightning on the shelf. It was already used just now!"
Alchemy Bomb·Bottled Lightning, put a powerful lightning chain into a bottle and just break it when used. The effect is powerful!
In English, the expression "Catch lightning in a bottle" is used to express impossibility.
Ted made the impossible possible.
In the end, it was Neville's wand that glowed with golden light, and he risked a close combat with Smokey to force him back.
There were a lot of doll accessories scattered on the ground. The bare doll heads and empty eye sockets made people look straight.
Jerry kicked the heads of several dolls away, and suddenly saw an iron-clad box in the corner, "Ha! There's a treasure box!"
In the underground maze, there are not only monsters, but also boxes that hide many things, including coins, materials or other strange or valuable things.
Before Jerry joined his friends, he had already opened two of them, and gained at least 10 Galleons, which was pretty cool.
So I rushed over immediately to open the treasure chest.
Unexpectedly, the treasure box opened by itself, and a purple sticky tongue several meters long protruded from it. It wrapped Jerry around the waist and wanted to eat it!
Look at the treasure box, there are two big eyes, and there are two rows of fangs in the treasure box - it's a fucking Mimic!
Who is so insidious!
Ron piloted the bear mecha and charged over, holding the Mimic's big mouth with his two bear paws: Don't hurt my rat!
Harley also jumped up and hit the Mimic on the head with a magic stick: Die!
Mimics are easy to deal with, as long as you don't open the box alone and get tricked, it will be easy to deal with.
But there are more and more smokers in the maze, and even Neville is tired of dealing with them.
Hermione: "Only magic can resist this monster!"
Ron: "What magic?"
Harry, Neville, and Jerry all said in unison: "Patronus Charm!"
…
In the Shrieking Shack, Pettigrew in mouse form was frozen, and then Lupine used a magic spell to force him out of his prototype.
He will face the terrible wrath of two old friends!
"Don't! Don't! Sirius, Remus, I am controlled by the Imperius Curse, I can't help it..." Pettigrew began to cry.
He knew that neither of his two friends were ruthless and cruel people. If he cried hard enough, he might have a chance to save his life.
But at this time, a black figure was hiding outside the door, quietly listening to the words of the three people...
Thanks to "Ze Evil Times" and "Tail Number 4544" for the 100-point reward!
