Chapter 832: Screaming Shack

Although the outside world was messed up by Voldemort, it was still very peaceful inside Hogwarts. With Dumbledore's protection here, Voldemort didn't dare to harass easily, and the students still lived a leisurely life.

But under the leisure, there is still an undercurrent flowing. Avery and Murray Saibo, who lived in the same dormitory with Shen Long, began to carefully test Shen Long's attitude towards black magic and Death Eaters. This did not surprise Shen Long , both of them came from a family of pure-blood wizards, and they will both be on the list of Death Eaters in the future.

Since Shen Long can handle Lucius, it is not a problem to handle the two children who are not enough brains. The two guys became good at school and didn't do anything to make Lily angry.

But Shen Long can control them or the lower grade students, some senior students are more troublesome, but things seem to have changed a little bit, Shen Long can feel that Narcissa Black is obviously not as active as last year, maybe This is the role of Lucius, since Lucius himself intends to become a second or fifth child, he certainly does not want his future wife to continue to be a Death Eater.

Well, these are all good changes, Voldemort's power has been weakened, the number of Death Eaters following him is decreasing, and there are people among the Death Eaters who can inform Dumbledore, if Voldemort plans to attack Hogwarts , or dealing with people around him, Lucius will definitely inform himself in advance.

This allows Shen Long to continue to enjoy life in the school and learn useful magic in depth. Snape's foundation was already very good, coupled with his hard work, now only in the second grade, Shen Long has mastered what ordinary graduates should be All the magics I have mastered have begun to study more in-depth magics.

In this regard, Slughorn is a good teacher. In view of his vanity, Shen Long quickly gained his trust. Slughorn originally liked geniuses, and when he met a student like Shen Long who had the right appetite , I can't wait to teach you everything, even some sensitive black magic has begun to be taught to Shen Long.

Shen Long is not as timid as other wizards when dealing with black magic. As long as it does not cause harm to his body and consciousness, he will not care if the methods are just cruel. Knowledge is useful, and the key depends on the use. Whoever this cruel magic is going to deal with, the more powerful and cruel the better.

In addition to studying, Shen Long is also a man of influence in sports and social activities of the school. The mere second-year students have become the idols of the whole school, whether they are Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff students. , all like to hang out with him, even in Gryffindor, there are many freshmen around him.

Even the attitude of some old students has softened. Although he is a student of Slytherin, he doesn't hate it at all, does he? He also saved Ravenclaw students, and he didn't have the natural hostility towards Gryffindor that Slytherin students had, no matter who asked for his help,

He is willing to help, who doesn't like such a student?

James and the others are probably the only ones who are still resolutely hostile to Shen Long. Most of this hostility comes from jealousy, because Shen Long has robbed them of the light that originally belonged to them.

James and the others also knew how to measure, and did not continue to make a bet with Shen Long, which made Shen Long feel a little regretful. He still wanted to get the Marauder's Map from James and the others.

That night, after Shen Long had dinner and chatted with the Slytherin students in the common room for a while, he went out to prepare for a date with Lily, and now they often find a quiet place for a walk or chat together.

Today, Shen Long and Lily met at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. When he got there, he found that Lily was not there. After waiting for a while, he saw Lily rushing over, "Sev, someone asked me just now if I knew where you were. Looks like a freshman has had an accident over at the Screaming Shack, and they want you to come over and check it out!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Shen Long instinctively felt that this matter was not simple, because this place was too sensitive, and looking up at the sky, he became more certain of his thoughts.

"I don't know. It seems that the freshman was caught by something and went to the Screaming Shack. Shall we go over and have a look?" Lily was a little eager to try. After all, she is a Gryffindor student, and she is definitely not courageous. lack.

"Okay, then let's go there together!" Shen Long took Lily to the Whomping Willow, and the entrance to the Shrieking Shack was just under the Whomping Willow.

Near the Whooping Willow, Lily asked, "How do we get in?"

The Whomping Willow is furious, and no matter what it hits, it will be beaten by the branches of the willow tree. Unless the knots on the branches are pressed, the Whomping Willow will immediately calm down.

Lily looked around for tools that could press the knots, but Shen Long stood there motionless. After a while, he went straight to the Whomping Willow. Lily was about to exclaim when she saw the branches of the Whomping Willow gradually quiet down When they got down, they didn't attack Shen Long at all, and Shen Long just walked up to the Whomping Willow.

Gently stretched out his hand to stroke the trunk of the Whomping Willow, and scratched a few times on the branches of the Whomping Willow. The branches of the Whomping Willow began to shake, as if a person had been tickled.

"Sev? How did you do it?" Lily looked surprised. She didn't remember such magic.

"Well, maybe it's my talent alone." Shen Long said reservedly. In fact, he used the method of communicating with plants given to him by the tree man. Although the Whomping Willow has a bad temper, he suddenly encountered a The Whomping Willow was very happy to be able to communicate with him, and he readily let go of his own branch, revealing the entrance to the Screaming Shack.

"Lily, come here, I've already introduced you to it, so you don't have to worry about it hitting you when you appear here in the future!" Shen Long waved his hand and signaled Lily to come over, "When you want to be quiet, you can come here Rest, make sure no one bothers you, all you have to do is tickle him, he loves it!"

Shen Long scratched it a few more times, and the Whomping Willow made a rustling sound again, as if laughing.

"Sev, you always surprise me!" Lily smiled happily, and tried to scratch it a few times, and the Whomping Willow really liked it.

"Let's go in! Goodbye, I'll come see you when I come out!" Lily remembered the missing student, and after trying a few times, she hurriedly dragged Shen Long into the passage under the Whomping Willow.
