Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 594 The Screaming Shack

While Harry was making his stand and determination clear to Ginny's ex-boyfriend Michael Kerner, they barely noticed an acquaintance passing by across the street. And even if Ginny caught a glimpse of it inadvertently, she was disturbed by Harry's declaration in the next moment, and forgot about the strange picture she saw in the blink of an eye.

Of course, it is strange to say that only some insiders will be surprised by this. Because it was the rare combination of Hermione and Luna who passed by on the opposite side of the crowd.

Right now Luna is walking ahead, and her brisk footsteps show her happy mood at this moment. To be honest, she wanted to find a real friend a long time ago, and Hermione, who was always straightforward in dealing with people and things, was undoubtedly a very suitable person to make friends with.

Luna is sometimes very naive, her heart is very pure, and she always simply likes some mysterious and interesting things. She can treat those creatures that may not really exist as real ones, and use her abundant imagination to carefully describe their possible appearances.

But naivety does not mean stupidity, and Luna is not stupid. On the contrary, sometimes her purity even makes her know how to listen to others better than ordinary people.

So, she feels very happy today. Because she felt that maybe starting today, she and Hermione could become a pair of real good friends. As for why this is...

Who knows? She just had this hunch, that's all.

But compared to the innocent and happy Luna, Hermione, who walked silently behind her, seemed much distressed. She specially invited Luna to come to Hogsmeade village yesterday, which really made a lot of determination.

Yes, she wanted to have a good chat with Luna while Maca was not at Hogwarts. She really wanted to know what kind of feelings this seemingly carefree girl had for Maca.

Many classmates mentioned Luna behind their backs. They called her loony because they all thought Luna Lovegood was a strange girl with unpredictable ideas. But it was this strange, even somewhat inconspicuous crazy girl who made Maca willing to stay by her side quietly. What was the reason for this?

Looking at Luna's erratic pace ahead, Hermione looked a little confused.

All the way from Hogwarts to here, she was not without words to try. But after a long confused conversation, she only felt that she couldn't figure out the character of the other party even more.

Luna, where are you going first?

After continuing to follow for a while, Hermione realized that she should go to Hogsmeade Railway Station, so she had to ask.

Screaming Shack, Luna said in her sleepy voice without looking back, I've been there many times, but I never found out where the entrance is. But Maca told me , he said that the Shrieking Shack has an entrance... Hermione, you are very smart, I think you will be able to help me find its entrance.

Screaming Shack?

Of course Hermione knew about the dusty snow hut. There are rumors that there is a haunted haunted house, in which there lives a red-eyed ghost who can touch the entity, and will capture people in the moonlit night and torture them vigorously. The rumor is well known, and everyone in Hogsmeade knows it,

There are even many people who say that they have heard the screams and screams at midnight.

Now, that room without doors and windows has become a place that young wizards must visit when they first come to Hogsmeade Village, and it can be said to be quite famous.

But what does that have to do with Hermione? She was not interested in those sensational rumors, nor did she want to know whether there was a vicious ghost hiding in it. Rather than go there to find some entrance, she would rather sit in the Three Broomsticks and drink a cup of delicious butter beer.

However, today she planned to take a stroll with Luna. At least before she started asking some more personal questions, she felt that she should accompany Luna to relax, which might help to open the other party's defenses.

Maka said that it is an interesting and warm place, and there are some touching memories there. Luna put her hands behind her back and walked step by step, But he didn't tell me how to get in, so I've been trying to find a way in.

Is...really? Hermione said quietly from behind, Since he knows, why don't you ask him directly? I think, if you ask him, he will definitely tell you.

No, that's boring. Luna turned around suddenly and whispered softly, The process of hard work will give the greatest value to the result.

As she spoke, she backed away with her hands behind her back. The sun hanging slantingly in the mid-air on the opposite side silently sprinkled dazzling golden brilliance, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly.

In her eyes, Hermione covered by the sun has only a vague outline; but in Hermione's eyes, she is completely illuminated by the sun, and the long pale golden hair behind her faintly exudes a wonderful halo.

As I said before, Hogsmeade is really not that big. It didn't take long for Hermione to see the shack on the edge of the village from afar.

Because of Maca, Hermione didn't know much about the secrets buried in this shed. She knows some stories about Lupin, but if you want to be specific, Lupine, Sirius, Harry's father James Potter, and Peter, the stinky mouse, happened together in the screaming shack She really hasn't heard of the past.

Therefore, looking at the shed from a distance at this time, she didn't feel much.

Oh, we're here. Luna finally stopped.

This place was already considered a relatively remote place in the village, even if there were more people in Hogsmeade now, it seemed a bit deserted here. Maybe after the school starts next year, a new batch of third graders will come to visit in droves, but that is definitely not now.

As Luna slowly stopped beside the street, Hermione also stood beside her. The two stared at the old shed leisurely, one was full of curiosity, the other was a little absent-minded.

The Screaming Shack appeared here unknowingly, and no one knew who built it, and the rumor became even more mysterious because of this. But to be honest, the scenery here is pretty good.

Against the background of the dense evergreen forest behind, even though the shed looks quite old, it looks surprisingly harmonious here. Thick layers of snow crept around and on top of it, making it look like a big dusty cake.

what?

Hermione looked around the hut casually, and inadvertently saw a small, inconspicuous stone tablet. It was placed on the edge of the snowy forest, about ten steps away from the Shrieking Shack, and it looked lonely and monotonous.

That's a tombstone, Luna seemed to notice Hermione's gaze, and said suddenly, Maka said that it also has its own story.

Hermione thought for a while, then raised her legs and walked over there.

When she got closer, she realized that it really looked like a tombstone. It was embedded in the ground, half-hidden by snow that covered it nearly halfway. If she hadn't happened to see the different colors just now, she might not have noticed it.

She knelt down and swept the snow aside, only to find that there was not even a word on the tombstone.

Is this really a tombstone? Hermione couldn't help but wondered to herself.

But when she thought about it, she realized that her doubts seemed unnecessary. Since Maca had said that to Luna, then this should be a tombstone—Maka rarely said something uncertain.

A shack with rumors of being haunted, plus an unnamed tombstone... It seems that they are proving something to each other, and people will pay attention to it unconsciously.

After looking around, Hermione straightened up again, and continued to scan the surrounding scene.

She looked a little aimlessly here, because she had no intention of looking for an entrance. But Luna had already turned around the shed, examining it carefully little by little, as if she was afraid of missing any clues seriously.

From what she said before, one can tell that she must have been here many times before, some with Maca, and probably by herself... Don't you get tired of so many times?

Hermione waited by the tombstone for a while, but she began to think about what she should ask Luna for a while. But as time passed, she found that Luna had no intention of stopping at all.

To be honest, she couldn't help it a little bit.

But just after she took a few steps towards Luna, she suddenly felt a sudden slip under her feet, which made her plop into the snow before she had time to react.

Fortunately, the snow on the ground was thick enough, and the fall didn't hurt.

what?

Because the feeling she could feel under her feet just now was really different, besides slippery, she could also feel an inexplicable coolness, which made her shiver uncontrollably after she fell to the ground.

Hermione sat on the ground and stretched out her feet, kicked a few times indiscriminately, and suddenly a clear blue was exposed in the snow. The blue and white color shimmering under the sun is very familiar, as if it has been seen somewhere before.

She stood up quickly, and pulled her foot a few more times, only to find that it was actually a piece of extremely solid ice. This piece of ice, which seems to be plated on the surface, is not large. After Hermione swept away the snow, it looked very abrupt on the dry land.

This is... Hermione frowned slightly, with a pensive look on her face.
