Chapter 234: Through the beating willow (modified)

The food was more delicious than usual. Even Edward and Michael, who had been stuffed with Honey Duke candy, forced themselves to eat more.
Allen noticed that the twin brothers hadn't appeared at the party for a long time, and they didn't sneak in with a frown until halfway through the party.
Behind them, Filch was triumphant.
Filch walked straight to the faculty chair and said something to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall frowned and looked at the dumb twin brother, looking very angry.
Upon seeing this, Allen knew that Maggie successfully led Filch to the corridor near the secret road, and caught the twin brothers who had smuggled contraband in the secret road.
On the faculty seat, besides Professor McGonagall, there was another professor who seemed uneasy and could not enjoy the Halloween dinner to the full—it was Professor Snape.
For some reason, Professor Snape's eyes were glancing at Professor Lupin frequently, abnormally.
Contrary to Professor Snape, Professor Lupin looked very happy, as usual, and was chatting with Allen's favorite Professor Flitwick.
The end of the banquet was a show by the ghosts of Hogwarts.
They jumped out of the walls and tables one after another, forming various formations and performing slides.
Gryffindor's almost headless Nick repeated his beheading experience again, with great success.
Ms. Gray of Ravenclaw sang a melodious and sad song. Although it was not in harmony with the atmosphere of the feast, she received the warmest applause from the Ravenclaws-although she was very aloof from Ai Lun's head floated out of the auditorium.
"Ms. Gray is beautiful and talented, the best!" Edward said, pushing a large piece of pudding into his mouth.
Ravenclaw's little eagles nodded.
Allen was also surprised. He felt it was necessary to prepare some digestive medicines. Edwards really ate too much today.
Michael Kona cautiously glanced at Hogwarts’ female student president who didn’t turn her attention here, then approached Allen and joked to him in a low voice, "Allen, I really envy you, even female ghosts like it. You, I found out that Ms. Gray peeped at you just now."
Hmm—maybe all the little wizards of Ravenclaw need.
The evening was so enjoyable. The rich and delicious food and wonderful performance made every little wizard feel satisfied.
Even Ellen, who has always restrained, felt his stomach bulged at the moment.
And waiting for the little wizards of Ravenclaw is another carnival—the fancy dress party, which is located in the common room of Ravenclaw.
Allen put himself in Victorian costumes and became a handsome vampire, holding a crystal glass filled with pomegranate juice, sitting on the large sofa, watching the carnival belonging to the Ravenclaws.
Penello's modeling turned out to be an imitation of Lavigne de Montmorency, a pharmacist who invented many love potions on a chocolate frog picture. This witch like a banshee has a green skin. But Penello's enchanting figure won the admiration of many boys around him.
She walked to Alan's side and sat down, picked up a glass of butter beer, and drank it.
"Why don't you go dancing?" Penello sank comfortably into the soft sofa and raised his eyebrows.
"I'm sitting here, it's more convenient to appreciate your moving dance!" Allen took the initiative to refill Penello a glass of wine.
"Don't dance a few more songs?" Allen looked at those eager seniors who wanted to come up and invite Penello.
"Forget it, I feel a little frustrated!" Penello picked up the red wine Alan had put on the table and tasted it, "Fortunately you didn't drink the real wine, or I will have to punish you."
Gentleman Allen stood up and opened the window behind them.
Suddenly, Allen's eyes condensed, and a black shadow flashed across the square in the dim night.
A dog!
The familiar dog!
Animagus of Sirius!
"Penello, I'm very sorry, but please allow me to escape." Allen hurriedly said to Penello.
After Ellen left, Penello stood up gracefully, stood where Ellen was before, and looked outside—nothing but the cold night wind blowing in, blowing Ravenclaw’s sky blue Screens.
Allen got out of Ravenclaw's common room, disappeared, and ran to the square immediately.
Unlike the lively atmosphere in the castle, the square is quiet, dark and empty. Allen recalled the scene he saw in the window just now, guessing the direction Sirius might go, and stepped into the Forbidden Forest.
The branches that had fallen out of leaves flickered, trembling unpredictably in the violent wind, creaking. A thick shadow enveloped the entire forbidden forest, and it was pitch black all around.
"If Sirius Black hides in the Forbidden Forest, where is he most likely to hide?" An answer came to Allen's mind-Screaming Shack!
So what Allen absolutely needs at the moment is—"Fluorescence flashes!" He whispered, and then moved forward quickly.
After bypassing the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider, the fluorescence of the magic wand illuminated a thick tree trunk, and the branches of the beating willow crunched like a violent wind, whipping back and forth like a whip to prevent him from approaching.
Alan observed the beating willow, the big hole between the roots of the tree is the passage leading to the screaming hut. He wanted to rush, but a thick branch lashed viciously in the air, forcing him to retreat.
After sensing Alan, the branches of the beating willow squirmed like crazy, as if they never knew they were tired.
Allen knows the way to get in. As long as you hold down a knot on the tree body, the beating willow will immediately stop dancing, as if it turned into a stone, even the leaves won't shake again.
But the problem is that there are so many knots on this tree~EbookFREE.me~ He doesn't know which ones are, and Allen doesn't have time to explore them one by one.
There is absolutely no pattern to follow the rhythm of the beating willow, so there is only one way left.
Allen had a firm gaze. He first cast flames to force back most of the branches, and used Transfiguration to create some dirt bumps to form a temporary passage.
Then, like a leopard, Allen quickly rushed into the range of the beating willow branches, and he noticed that the branches of the beating willows in Allen were knocked down, and the twigs were clenched tightly like fists. . Although Alan’s skills were already strong enough and he used soil bumps and armor to withstand most of them, he was still slapped a few times by the branches close to the roots of the tree. Although he was protected by the wizard’s robe, Alan He didn't get drenched, but he still felt hot pain all over his body.
Finally, Allen got into the hole, climbed heading inside, and slid down the dirt into the bottom of a very low tunnel.
Due to time constraints, Allen moved forward as fast as possible, bending low.
The tunnel continued to stretch forward, and even with Allen's physical strength, it felt a little difficult to pass through it.
When Alan's breath was already quite rapid, the tunnel began to upward, and after a while, it turned a corner. He only saw a glimmer, a small exit.
Alan stopped, panted and adjusted his breathing, lightly stepped sideways and moved forward slowly, holding his wand tightly in his hand—Sirius Black should be inside!
Allen walked in cautiously. It was a room, a messy, gray room. The wallpaper peeled off, the floor was stained, the furniture was all broken, as if it had been smashed by someone, and the windows were sealed with wooden boards.
However, no trace of Sirius was found.
