"Quick!" Nymphadora quickened her pace, and she saw a figure walking towards them not far from the direction of the castle, with a hooked nose and shoulder-length black hair, which looked like a black bat from a distance.

The last thing the Hogwarts Expedition wants to see right now - if they get entangled by Professor Snape, it means trouble is bound to follow.

"Get out, I'll stop Professor Snape," Nymphadora said, pointing to the abrupt tree, "That's a beating willow, you'll have to stone the scars on the branches, it will stop attacking, there's a secret passage under the tree - it leads to Hogsmeade, act!" Hurry up, hurry up! ”

She ran towards Professor Snape.

Taking advantage of the time that Nemphadora had sacrificed herself, several people hurried into action.

But after picking up the stones and throwing them for a long time, none of them hit the scar, and Harry looked at his hand holding the stone, doubting his athletic talent for the first time.

"Why don't we just approach it and press the scar?" George proposed, "Otherwise, you won't be able to fight for another 10,000 years—"

Ron opened his mouth wide, the tree was definitely a good thing, and when he heard George say to get closer, it directly stretched out a branch and waved George out, Fred hurried over to help George up.

"Shhh

Anna pinched her chin and thought - the secret passage under the beating willow leads to the screaming shack, which is mainly used to prevent Lupin the Moonface from 'The Marauders' from transforming into a werewolf and injuring the students.

Werewolves don't attack animals, so the remaining three of the 'Marauders' - James, Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew - all trained as Animagus in order to accompany Lupin during his transformation.

Every time Lupin transforms, it is the Animagus who climbs up to beat the scab for the mouse Pettigrew.

This shows that 'beating people' will, as the name suggests, only beats people.

"Harry, where's Mr. Witty?"

Harry pulled a fluffy yellow ball from his cape, "Hum-"

Anna lowered Mr. Witty to the ground and pointed to the scab on the beating willow, "Mr. Witty, go touch that scar on the trunk." ”

Mr. Mighty quickly showed its usefulness, and a ball of plush and nimbly climbed up the beating willow, until Mr. Wittmann pressed the scar, and the beating willow did not react at all.

"Did it work?" Anna tries to get close to Beater Willow.

"I'll come," Fred approached the willow tree first, not making the slightest movement, very safe, "Let's go!" He doesn't attack people anymore! ”

As they ran towards the entrance of the secret passage, they saw Nymphadora standing by with a 'who am I', 'where am I' expression on her face, Professor Snape had easily overcome the defense line that Nymphadora had built, and walked towards Beater Willow.

Several people hurriedly entered the secret passage, but at this time, a person appeared that everyone did not expect.

"Uh- Professor Snape, um- I mean I have a question for you," Percy suddenly appeared, and Snape was forced to stop with a frown.

Percy held a small notebook and seemed to have made a lot of determination, "A potion problem has been bothering me for a long time, I need to figure it out today......"

"Percy!" Ron let out a low scream, "I read that right! That's Percy! ”

"He's helping us!" George was horrified.

"Incredible!" Fred was skeptical.

"Is that surprising?" Harry was puzzled, "Isn't he your brother too?" ”

Well, straight to the soul, Harry's question was very level.

Maybe Percy, as the third in the Weasley family, never got the approval of his younger brothers.

Anna knew that all seven of the Weasleys' were on good terms, but there was a degree of 'good' - Percy, who was serious, neat, and wore glasses, was the object of Mrs. Weasley's compliments, and was the more out of place among the seven children.

The twins like to play tricks on him, Ron and Ginny don't like to listen to him, and Bill and Charlie's two older brothers have the same personality as the twins - everyone loves to joke, but he is the outlier among the Weasley children.

In addition, as the third born child, he should have experienced the Weasleys as a young man, a pure-blood family, and as his younger siblings increased, the burden on the Weasleys increased, and he experienced a life of poverty.

He knew the importance of money, and the lack of a voice among his siblings made him particularly hungry for power and attention—perhaps this was what led him to follow the Ministry of Magic.

But what can't be forgotten is that family affection finally made him choose to come back, to return to the Burrow, to return to his family-

Just like now, he resolutely stood in the way of 'one of the people to please on the road to success', Dean Slytherin, to buy time for his brother.

The three Weasleys were silent.

"Well, maybe he's not so ... Well... Anyway, we need to get back quickly, so we still have time to get the goblin out of his room......" Fred was not confident.

"What!" Ron was surprised, "All the goblins we cleaned up yesterday are in Percy's room!" ”

"It's not all ......," George smiled, "seeing you're not there in the morning, we've got two in your room too." ”

Ron and the twins jostled into the secret passage, and Anna and Harry looked at each other and hurried to follow.

The passage was long, a bit like a pipe, much wider than Duke Honey's, and Fred said it had been dug up by a 'taller elf'.

After a long journey of about ten minutes, a sharp turn and a faint light appeared in front of everyone.

It was a dusty room, the windows were boarded up, the wind made a "whin-woo" sound through the gaps in the boards, the walls were covered with yellowed paper, and the floor was full of dirty mud spots, messy footprints, and even blood stains that had been dry for a long time.

It looks like the scene of some criminal case.

Harry grabbed Mr. Mighty, who was eager to try, but he couldn't eat the dust indiscriminately, it was unlucky.

"Another Diagon Alley 92!" Fred looked around, and it seemed that '92 Diagon Alley' had become synonymous with dirty and horrible houses.

"Dudu? Doodle? Purr? Could it be that there are some house-elves living here too—I propose that we not go upstairs this time......" George looked appretently at the broken wooden staircase in the corner.

"Agreed!" Ron pulled Harry to hide behind George.

"Has anyone ever fought a bear here?" Fred stole a glance at Anna and removed the lame wooden chair that stood in the way—the furniture here looked like someone had been deliberately smashed.

Anna noticed Fred's gaze and explained with a smile, "It's my first time here, and I haven't had time yet. "There are no bears, but there is one werewolf.

"Hey! There's a door there! Ron poked his head out from behind George and pointed to an inconspicuous corner, where there was indeed a wooden door.

"Can you open it?" Anna kicked the wooden door with her foot, but the wooden door didn't move, "Hey! I don't believe there's a door in the world that my Anna can't open! ”

"Anna! Calm down! Harry was horrified, thinking that Anna was going to use the 'Terrorist Lockpicking Charm' again, and grabbed Anna's arm that was fumbling in the blue flower cloth bag, "Don't be impulsive! ”

Anna pulled out a black hairpin with a strange expression, "Impulsive, I'm calm-"

She looked excited, "Boys, let me show you a magical Muggle technique-"

"Pick the lock."
