Chapter 104: The Trail of the Great Black (Part 3)
The setting sun lazily shone on the earth.
The streets were full of people, and two figures suddenly appeared in the corner.
Hermione looked up, still wondering where this was, William had already noticed it, took her hand, and hid towards a small courtyard.
The two of them crouched on the ground and looked out through the fence.
"It's us!" Hermione exclaimed.
William walked out of Duke Honey's shop side by side with Hermione. The boy said something, and the girl gently smacked him, grinning happily.
"It's almost five o'clock, and we should send Annie and them out of the secret passage." William glanced at the time.
Hermione stared at the two of them, gently covering her hot cheeks.
"What's wrong?" William asked, turning his head.
"Ah, I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I find out that many people are secretly watching us, isn't it too high-profile." Hermione said embarrassedly.
It's a strange experience to look at yourself from the side like this.
And Hermione suddenly noticed a detail, since Paris, she would always have a habit of holding William's hand.
She doesn't usually care, it's a subconscious action.
For example, now......
She quickly withdrew her hand.
"Being peeked at by others is because of fame, not because of holding hands." "So don't worry too much." ”
He laughed, "I said, there are no other people here, let alone single dogs." ”
William turned his head away...... Shut up suddenly.
Behind the dense crowd,
There were no less than a dozen dogs standing, looking at the two of them.
It's really a dog!
At the head of the pack is a heroic wolf.
It has long and slender limbs, a pointed head and palate, a long face, pointed and erect ears, and a beautiful grayish-black fur.
It...... Stick out your tongue, the corners of your mouth arc upward, and your eyes look to the right, full of joy.
Well, the eye exposes it, and this is a husky, a thoroughbred.
The attention of the group of dogs was quickly attracted by an owl that swept low and hooked a large bag of food under its paws.
The husky was excited, snorted, and chased after the younger brothers.
The owl landed at the door, and before he could react, he was attacked by a dog.
Stinky rascals!
Where can the Scottish round-faced fat chicken endure it, fluttering its wings, and using the legendary Diancang eagle claw skill.
The fat chicken is good at light skills, fast claws, and very good at playing defensive counterattacks, and uses lightning five consecutive whips in an instant.
It scratched more than a dozen times, and occasionally pecked the dog's butt twice, at a very tricky and vicious angle.
Erha roared a few times, brewing momentum, not many moves, and repeatedly it was a vicious dog pounced on the "hair extension".
It's aggressive, but it doesn't have a high hit rate.
After a vicious fight, there was no winner or loser, Erha and the owl were holding each other's special parts of body hair in their mouths.
The door was pushed open, and an old witch walked out.
The dogs scattered, and the old witch took the food and fed the owl for a while.
"She's the 'Dog Lover Mopsie,' a well-known witch." William whispered.
As a dog lover, all stray dogs in Hogsmeade Village are kept free of charge.
"Say, has she ever seen the big black?" Hermione said thoughtfully. "Big Black leaves the Forbidden Forest, and maybe he will wander to Hogsmeade."
Anne first encountered Daikoku by boat.
"Probably." William nodded, "Let's go and ask." ”
The two stepped forward, and William asked:
"Excuse me, have you seen a black dog lately, with a huge size.
It's ugly, but it's ugly, it's ugly. ”
"Wait a minute, every dog I take care of will take pictures." ”
A moment later, Mopsey pulled out several photos, all of which were stray dogs she had recently cared for.
"William, look!" Hermione pulled one out of the photo.
There's a ...... in the photo Rookie dogs.
To be precise:
The big black backpack is wrapped around its back, and it is full of vegetables, which is very joyful to look at.
“……”
Would Da Hei rather be a vegetable dog and a coolie than eat Hagrid's stuff?
Pierced in the heart.
"What about the big black, where is it now?" William asked.
"It's only at night that it comes to me for some food, and during the day it doesn't know where to go." The witch shook her head.
"Okay, thank you then." William thanked.
Now that they know that Da Hei is here, William and Hermione are not in a hurry, and they can come to find it next time.
Their top priority is the Dementors.
The two of them left the courtyard of Mopsie and walked towards Duke Honey opposite. They need to go through the secret passage and get back to Hogwarts.
William cast a spell to dodge Mrs. Swann and walk through the counter into the cellar.
The cellar was filled with wooden chairs and chests, and the floor was similarly dusty.
William expertly lifted the floor, and a deep tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.
He stepped on the broken stone steps and headed down. Hermione followed closely behind her, and subconsciously took William's hand.
"What's wrong with Gryffindor?" As he walked along the road, William's wand was raised, illuminating the narrow passage.
"Why did the Headmaster tell everyone to return to the auditorium again?"
"Blake, he infiltrated the Gryffindor common room." Hermione explained.
"When we returned to the break room, we found it in a mess and it seemed like there had been a fight."
"It should be Professor McGonagall's armor guard, triggered by Black." William mused.
"As soon as he enters the common room, he will be attacked."
"But how?" Hermione was worried. "There's no way Blake has a password for the break room."
"I don't know about that." William shook his head and asked softly, "What does the fat lady say?" ”
"The Fat Lady disappeared from the portrait, and the portrait was vandalized, and debris was scattered everywhere.
Peeves says she's hiding in fear. ”
"That's weird." William squinted his eyes and said softly: "If Blake has a password, there is no reason to destroy the fat lady at all, it is just a painting." ”
"Maybe there is a password, but the fat lady won't open the door for him. But after he deliberately sabotage, the fat lady was scared, so what did he drive? Hermione said.
William bowed slightly.
There is one possibility, but there is another.
However, this can only be confirmed after asking the fat lady.
"What do you think of Blake, how did he get into the castle?" Hermione's wand was raised, and the tip of her hand lit up white.
"Probably the Forbidden Forest, from the direction of Hagrid's hut.
It is also possible that the school that we entered through the secret passage was either beating people and willows, or the secret passage we are walking through now. William said.
"It shouldn't be possible here, right?" Hermione subconsciously rubbed William's palm and said softly:
"Blake sneaked in during the dinner. At that time, Hogsmeade had closed its doors, and the streets were full of patrolling Dementors, and there was no way he could avoid them. ”
"Then it can only be a beating willow or a forbidden forest."
William felt a little itchy in his palms, but after being with Hermione for a long time, he was also used to the girl's small movements.
"How did he alarm the Dementors when he sneaked into the school?" Hermione frowned.
"That's what Dumbledore brought us back." William laughed.
A large number of Dementors entered Hogwarts, and if William did not remind them, the returning students would definitely be attacked.
William and Hermione had to give everyone a heads-up.
The two chattered and walked along the low tunnel for a long time, and finally reached the end.
"Left and right separation!" William took his wand and tapped lightly on the rock wall.
A gap was revealed, and William and Hermione slipped out. The wand was tapped again, and the statue's hunchback immediately closed.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go to Professor Lupin's office!" William said with a smile.
"It's a good show there, not to be missed!"

(The third more, ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes, big guys.)
