Chapter 234 Passing Through the Whomping Willow (Modified)

The food was more delicious than usual, and even Edward and Michael, whose stomachs were already full of Honeydukes candies, forced themselves to eat some more.

Allen noticed that the twin brothers did not show up at the banquet for a long time. It was not until halfway through the banquet that they sneaked in with a gloomy look.

Behind them, a proud Filch.

Filch walked straight to the teacher's desk and said something to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall frowned and looked at the haggard twin brothers, looking very angry.

Seeing this, Alan knew that Maggie had successfully led Filch to the corridor near the secret passage and caught the twin brothers who were smuggling contraband in the secret passage.

At the staff table, in addition to Professor McGonagall, there was another professor who seemed too uneasy to enjoy the Halloween dinner - Professor Snape.

For some reason, Professor Snape's eyes were glancing at Professor Lupin frequently, an abnormal number of times.

Contrary to Professor Snape, Professor Lupine looked very happy, no different from usual, and was chatting enthusiastically with Alan's favorite Professor Flitwick.

The banquet concluded with a performance by the ghosts of Hogwarts.

They jumped out from the walls and tables one after another, forming various formations to perform gliding performances.

Gryffindor's Nearly Headless Nick reenacts his beheading experience with great success.

Lady Gray of Ravenclaw sang a song with a melodious and sad melody. Although it did not go well with the atmosphere of the feast, she received the warmest applause from the Ravenclaws - although she left Ai very arrogantly after singing. Lun's head floated out of the auditorium.

"Ms. Gray is beautiful, talented, and the best!" Edward said as he stuffed a large piece of pudding into his mouth.

The Ravenclaw eaglets nodded.

Allen was also surprised. He felt it was necessary to prepare some digestive medicine. Edward really ate too much today.

Michael Corner carefully looked at the female student president of Hogwarts who didn't pay attention here, then approached Allen and joked to him in a low voice, "Ellen, I really envy you, even the female ghost likes you." You, I noticed that Ms. Gray peeked at you just now."

Hmm - maybe even the little wizards in Ravenclaw need it.

The evening was so enjoyable. The rich and delicious food and the wonderful performances made every little wizard feel satisfied.

Even Allen, who had always been restrained, felt his stomach was bloated at this moment.

There is also a carnival waiting for the little wizards of Ravenclaw - a masquerade party, which takes place in the Ravenclaw common room.

Allen dressed himself in Victorian clothes and became a handsome vampire, holding a crystal cup filled with pomegranate juice, sitting on the large sofa, watching the carnival belonging to the Ravenclaws.

Penello's look this time was actually modeled after Laverne de Montmorency, a pharmacist who invented a variety of love potions in the chocolate frog cartoon. This witch who looks like a banshee has green skin. ——But Penello has a voluptuous figure and has won the admiring looks of many boys around her.

She walked over to Allen and sat down, picked up a glass of butterbeer, and drank it in one gulp.

"Why don't you go dancing?" Penello sank comfortably into the soft sofa and asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's easier for me to sit here and appreciate your moving dance!" Allen took the initiative to refill Penello's glass of wine.

"How many more songs will you dance?" Allen looked at the seniors who were eager to invite Penello.

"Forget it, I feel a little bored!" Instead, Penello picked up the red wine that Allen put on the table and tasted it. "Fortunately, you didn't drink real wine, otherwise I would have punished you."

Alan stood up like a gentleman and opened the window behind them.

Suddenly, Allen's eyes froze, and in the dim night, a black shadow flashed across the square.

A big black dog!

The familiar big black dog!

Sirius' Animagus!

"Penello, I'm very sorry, but please allow me to excuse you first." Allen said to Penelo in a hurry.

After Allen left, Penello stood up gracefully, stood at the spot where Allen had been, and looked outside - there was nothing, only the cold night wind blowing in, blowing the Ravenclaw sky blue window screen.

Allen left the Ravenclaw common room, disappeared, and immediately ran towards the square.

Unlike the festive atmosphere in the castle, the square was silent, dark and empty. Allen recalled the scene he had just seen from the window, speculated on the direction Sirius might go, and entered the Forbidden Forest.

The branches that had lost all their leaves moved east and west, trembling and rattling in the strong wind in unpredictable ways. A thick layer of shadow enveloped the entire Forbidden Forest, and everything was pitch black.

"If Sirius Black hid in the Forbidden Forest, where would he most likely be hiding?" An answer came to Alan's mind - the Shrieking Shack!

So what Alan absolutely needs at this moment is - "Lumos!" he whispered, and then moved forward quickly.

After bypassing the Acromantula's territory, the wand's fluorescent light illuminated a thick tree trunk, and the branches of the Whomping Willow creaked as if in the strong wind, whipping back and forth like a whip to prevent him from getting closer.

Allen observed the Whomping Willow. The big hole between the roots of the tree must be the passage leading to the Shrieking Shack. He wanted to rush over, but a thick branch whipped menacingly in the air, forcing him to step back.

After noticing Allen, the branches of the Whomping Willow twisted like crazy, as if they never knew how tired they were.

Allen did know how to get in. As long as he pressed a knot on the tree, the Whomping Willow would immediately stop dancing, as if it had turned into stone, and even the leaves would no longer shake.

But the problem is, there are so many knots on this tree, UU Reading www.uukanshu.netｔ He doesn't know which ones they are, and Allen doesn't have time to explore them one by one.

The beating rhythm of this whomping willow has no rules at all, so there is only one way left.

Allen's eyes were firm. He first cast the blazing flames to push back most of the branches, and then used the deformation technique to create some lumps of soil to form a temporary passage.

Then, Allen was as fast as a leopard, and quickly rushed into the area covered by the branches of the Whomping Willow. The branches of the Whomping Willow that sensed Allen's presence were knocked down one by one, and the thin branches were clenched tightly like fists. . Although Allen's skills were strong enough, and he used earth lumps and armor to protect himself, he was still hit by branches a few times when he was close to the roots of the tree - although under the protection of the wizard's robe, Allen He was not beaten to pieces, but he still felt burning pain all over his body.

Finally, Allen got into the hole, climbed headfirst inside, and slid down the slope to the bottom of a very low tunnel.

Since time was of the essence, Allen moved forward as fast as he could, bending very low.

The tunnel continues to extend forward, and even with Allen's physical strength, it feels a little difficult to pass through it.

When Allen's breathing was already quite short, the tunnel began to slope upward, and after a while, it turned a corner. All he saw was a glimmer of light, a small exit.

Alan stopped, gasped and adjusted his breathing, and slowly moved sideways forward with light steps. He held the wand tightly in his hand - Sirius Black should be inside!

Allen walked in carefully. It was a room, a messy, gray room. The wallpaper was peeling off, the floor was stained, the furniture was all broken, as if someone had smashed it, and the windows were all boarded up.

But no trace of Sirius was found.
