The Screaming Shack is an abandoned house in the village of Hogsmeade.

For years, the villagers thought the house was haunted because of the screams coming from inside.

Recently, however, the villagers discovered that the house, which had been dormant for more than a decade, had begun to be haunted again.

It all started last winter.

It was a chilly weekend evening, and quite a few wizards were drinking and chatting in the warm three-broomstick bar.

That day, there were three wizards who had drunk too much and were bragging about their courage, and under the stimulation of alcohol, several people's cowhides went from not being afraid of their wives to daring to fight Charizard for 300 rounds.

One of the wizards boasted that he had met werewolves after boasting about his battle with Charizard because the cowhide was too big, and then beat the werewolves to the point of being heckled by the whole bar.

The dude's brain was so hot that he decided to prove his bravery by staying overnight in the haunted screaming shack right now.

Two of his drinking friends decided to go with him, and whoever was the first to go would be asked for a month's worth of wine.

While the guests in the bar were drinking and talking about the "feat" of the three men, the door of the bar was suddenly slammed open, and the guests saw the three men who had just threatened to spend the night in the screaming shack rush into the bar.

After drinking a warm butterbeer, the three dudes barely calmed down.

Under the curious gaze of the other guests in the bar, the guy who took the lead recounted their experience.

"The three of us had just walked out of the bar when we woke up after being blown by the cold wind for a while."

"Then we continued towards the screaming shack, and soon we were near the house."

"Before we could get close to the house, we heard voices talking from inside the house."

"I swear the person who spoke was not anyone in the village. I grew up in the village, and I can remember the voices of everyone in the village. So we went to the window of the house and eavesdropped on the talking. ”

"In the room, a voice said, 'Can the three of them eat?' ”

"Another voice said, 'It's delicious, it's delicious.'" ”

"And then a third voice said, 'How are you going to eat that?' ”

"Then the second voice said, 'The first one cut it into pieces, put the meat in a pot, add water and add black tea, tea leaves and other spices, and cook it on the fire for an hour.'" ”

"'The second one is also cut into pieces, first put the meat in a pot with spices, and then simmer in water.' ”

"'The third one is a whole skin on a charcoal fire and slowly roasted, then cut into small pieces, then fried twice in a pan of oil, and then put it in a soup pot to cook.' ”

"Then a couple of voices said, 'Then let's eat all three,' 'Let's see which of these three is delicious,' 'Make sure to make it delicious.'"

"Hearing this, the three of us were afraid that the ghosts in the house would come out and catch us and eat us, so we ran back."

With that, the dude ordered another glass of butterbeer and drank it in one gulp.

There was silence in the Three Broomsticks bar, except for the occasional "crackling" sound coming from the fireplace.

The flames in the fireplace could not dispel the chill in the hearts of the guests in the bar, and each guest felt their hands and feet trembling.

Then a few more bar patrons dared to go to the screaming shack to find out.

Soon they also ran back, and they said that there was a banquet going on in the house, and a voice in the house said that they could not think of this leg being so delicious, and that they could find a few more legs.

Since then, it has been rumored in Hogsmeade that the Screaming Shack is a place where the devils hold feasts, and every night a group of devils gather to eat and drink, and if anyone approaches the house at this time, they will be caught by the devils and made the main course.

Later, two wizards who had just graduated from Hogwarts volunteered to go to the Screaming Shack to slay demons, but the villagers of Hogsmeade never saw them again, and there were no footprints on the snow around the house except for the footprints they had entered the house.

This has raised the fear of the villagers of Hogsmeade to a new level of fear of screaming shacks.

The latest legend of the Screaming Shack was reached to Hogwarts by Hogwarts students who visited Hogsmeade Village over the weekend, and the students, who were nervous about the Chamber of Secrets, speculated that it had something to do with it.

And some members of the "Hogwarts Protectors" quietly approached Zhang Xu and asked when the next "Devil's Banquet" would be held.

As the initiator of this incident, Zhang Xu couldn't laugh or cry at the point where things had developed to this point.

For Zhang Xu, eating dog meat in winter is a common habit in his family for two lifetimes.

After arriving at Hogwarts, Zhang Xu was worried that cooking dog meat in the kitchen would cause trouble because of his different cultural background, so he decided to find a place where no one was there to eat by himself.

Looking around, Zhang Xu found that the screaming shack was just right. There is no one around, not afraid of being discovered. The place is big enough, the environment is good, the furniture can be used, and it is a good place to clean it. So he decided to use this place as a secret base first, and talk about the next semester next semester.

As a result, Zhang Xu missed the power of the live point map.

After the domestic dog meat was sent, Zhang Xu walked into the secret passage under the beating willow with his front foot, and the twin brothers and several members of the "Guardian" who were holding the map of the living point followed on their back feet.

When the three dudes from Hogsmeade Village were eavesdropping outside the house, it happened to be Zhang Xu who was blocked in the house by the twins, and then explained to them what dog meat "can be".

As a result, a group of little wizards who rarely keep dogs as pets said that they should eat meat together.

As for the two wizards who volunteered to come to kill the demons, when they entered the door, they found that there were no demons and monsters in the house, only a group of acquaintances were eating hot pot around the table, and they were stunned on the spot.

The people eating the hot pot were also confused, and it turned out that these two were comrades-in-arms who had brushed Quirrell together at the end of last semester, so they added two sets of dishes and chopsticks.

After learning that a group of their own people ate hot pot here, which turned out to be a terrifying legend in Hogsmeade Village, the twin brothers suggested that the two seniors should not return to the village, and directly phantasmaged away, and continued to scare the villagers.

It didn't take long for the Screaming Shack to grow from a dog meat canteen for a few people to a secret base for the "Hogwarts Protectors".

So this time, the "Hogwarts Defenders" celebration of the victory of the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk Feast was held in the Screaming Shack.
