People coming and going on the streets of Hogsmeade.
John and Michael were looking up at Mrs. Puddy's Teahouse in front of them.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" John couldn't help but cursed, "You actually chose such a damn place!"
"It took me a long time to find such a private place to talk. It's foggy inside and the windows are full of water vapor. I'm sure no one else can see what's inside. What's going on here..."
Just as Michael was speaking, a tall Hufflepuff boy led a Ravenclaw girl past him and walked into Mrs. Puddieff's teahouse.
Taking advantage of the brief opportunity they had to push the door open, John and Michael finally saw clearly the scene inside.
It was a space wrapped in pink, and everything inside was decorated with tacky lace, even the small round table.
With this kind of decoration and the couple who entered earlier, Michael finally realized what kind of place this was.
He asked tentatively:
"So, this is a couple's teahouse?"
No one gave him an answer, and John had already turned around and walked towards the end of the street.
Michael quickly caught up and said:
"This time it's my problem."
"Don't talk nonsense, let's just walk and talk, starting with you!"
John said coldly.
After hearing this, Michael raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said:
"Well, as you wished, I did get a piece of news from the goblins. The problem is, it was bad news. Do you remember the strong man Michelle met when she was delivering candy just now?"
"The one close to three meters?"
"Yes, he is part of the bad news." Michael chuckled, "The goblins of Gringotts have increased the bounty on Sirius Black to a total of thirty thousand Galleons, such a huge sum of money
It attracted many dark wizards like that strong man.
To make matters worse, the goblins convinced the Ministry of Magic to further intensify the hunt for Black.
If nothing else happens, Aurors should arrive in Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts to start working in the near future."
"This is indeed bad news. The arrival of the Aurors will hamper our investigation." John nodded, "But I'm curious, why didn't the goblins take action themselves? That's thirty thousand Galleons."
"The main reason is that the power of goblins in the magic world of China is too weak. They don't have the guts to attack wizards themselves, which will cause dissatisfaction among a large number of wizards." Michael said, "I've finished the information here, what's the situation on your side?
"
John smiled mysteriously and said:
"You and I both know that Black escaped from Azkaban. But how exactly did he do it? You must know that there are a lot of dementors in Azkaban, and normal people can stay there.
He went crazy in the first half of the month, but Blake stayed inside for more than ten years and even escaped without a wand."
Biquge
"This problem has been bothering the Ministry of Magic for a long time. Have you solved it?"
"Some time ago, my dear Professor McGonagall introduced us to a magical transformation technique in class. Its name is [Animagus Transformation Technique]. As long as you can practice it, you can become an Animagus."
Magus has the ability to freely transform into some kind of animal. And when Dementors face animals..."
"Dementors often ignore animals! And if Black's shape-shifting animals are good at swimming or flying, then the terrain of the isolated island in the sea of Azkaban will never be able to trap him!"
Michael's eyes became brighter and brighter, "John, you are such a genius! I have never seen anyone as smart as you! This information will be of great help to us!"
"Don't worry, there is other news."
"besides?"
"That came from one of my professors. It is said that he..."
John told Michael everything he had learned from Lupine.
After hearing this, Michael took a deep breath and then said:
"John, John, you really exceeded my expectations. I just gave me one piece of bad news, and you gave me two pieces of good news. With that secret passage, how did Black sneak into Hogwarts?
It makes sense. Moreover, we can also use the secret passage to enter Hogwarts activities."
"You also admit that I have made a great contribution?"
"certainly!"
"Then should we readjust the distribution method of Black's bounty and property? For example, seven for me and three for you?"
"No problem, that's fair. But first, I think we should find out all the huts and secret passages. After all, that's the key."
Hearing this, John chuckled, turned to look at the screaming shack that had appeared in front of them at some point, and said:
"What do you think I brought you here for?"
Michael also discovered the Shrieking Shack at this time.
He said slowly:
"You think this is it?"
"The Screaming Shack is a famous haunted house nearby. It is said that since decades ago, there have been sounds of ghosts crying and howling at night. But suddenly one day, this sound disappeared."
"That's right, this is indeed the most likely place. In fact, Blake may be hiding in it right now."
As Michael spoke, he pulled out his wand and waved it to himself twice, and then his figure gradually disappeared.
John also used the [Disguise Curse] on himself.
Two transparent figures gradually approached the Screaming Shack, but they did not go directly in, but stopped at the door.
Because there were waves of voices coming from inside the shack.
"Do we really want to use this as a stronghold? This place used to be a doghouse!"
"So what? Didn't we drive away the big black dog? The various stains here have also been cleaned up."
"But……"
"No buts, just listen to me!"
…
Listening to the conversation inside, John sighed heavily and said:
"It seems that someone has already alerted the enemy."
"This short sentence is really appropriate."
While speaking, Michael had already withdrawn from the invisible state and pushed open the door.
"Crunch——"
The sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the two wizards inside.
They subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.
At this moment, Michael had raised his wand.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"boom--"
The green light broke through the dust flying in the room under the sun, hit one of them on the head, and blew him away.
At the same time, John, who was still invisible, also drew the revolver.
"Peng——"
After a loud noise, the hot bullet penetrated directly through the man's left chest and exploded a huge hole in it.
The smell of gunpowder and blood began to fill the room.
John exited the invisibility state, put away his revolver, and flicked his wrist.
The recoil of this gun was greater than he expected, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why use a gun? The noise might attract others."
Michael asked confused.
"Didn't you say that the Ministry of Magic has stepped up the search for Blake, and even the Aurors may be dispatched?" John said nonchalantly, "What if they use the [Flashback Curse] to attack Hogwarts one by one?
Checking with Hogsmeade personnel would be troublesome."
"You're still thoughtful."
Michael praised and put away the wand in his hand.
Then, he took out three more wands and handed two of them to John.
"Next time you encounter something inconvenient, just use these two wands to do it."
John didn't refuse and simply put away his wand.
To be continued...
