Hogwarts, Beat the Willows.

A wand, glowing brightly, illuminates a thick tree trunk, and a figure holding a wand stands in the shadow of a willow-beating tree.

The wicker creaked like in a raging wind, whipping back and forth.

Branches waving, light and shadow swaying.

The faces of the people under the trees flickered and dimmed, like ghosts.

Between the roots of the tree, there is a large hole, as if it is a large tree hole that has rotted for a long time.

However, the beating willow grows very healthy and is in the prime of life.

If you want to get close to the beating willow, it is unrealistic.

Hitting people is violent, and anything within its range, whether living or dead, is the target of its attack.

The seemingly delicate and slender branches are sharper and harder than metal.

Even a Muggle car can be torn to shreds.

Trying to silence it unless you destroy it.

However, there is something special about this beating willow.

The maliciously whizzing and whirling branches, teeth and claws, within a few meters were its domain.

If this man in black takes another step forward, he will definitely be hit and hung with colors on his body.

I saw the black-clad man's wand emit a bolt of lightning that struck a scar on the tree.

The tree suddenly stopped moving, as if it had turned to stone, and even the leaves stopped shaking.

The man in black walked over to the hollow in the tree and got inside.

Underneath the tree hole is a large, large cavern that slides down the dirt slope into the bottom of a very low tunnel.

After the disappearance of this person.

After a while, the beating willow returned to normal.

It shook its branches weakly, which was the normal state of beating willows.

But only a moment later, the beating willow rioted again.

Because another man has touched its territory.

Beating people, Liu decided to show weakness to the enemy, and took advantage of his inattention to beat him hard.

As a result, the same scar was held down again.

Beating Liu was quiet.

Not long after, a huge, gray-eyed black dog also arrived.

He stretched out his claws and nimbly passed through the branches, pressing them in the same place.

Beating Liu: (.) ・`ω´・)

......

The passage is long, presumably beyond the Hogwarts school area, and looks like it might lead to Hogsmeade......

The man at the front moves quickly, because he is tall, so he bends very low.

The tunnel continued to stretch forward, and the face of the man at the front had never been better, looking at the tunnel wall, as if he had recalled something bad.

Although he had only been here once, he would never forget the events of that day.

The tunnel began to slope upwards, and after a while, turning a corner, the man in black saw a glimmer of light, a small exit.

The man in black slowly moved sideways forward, holding his wand to see what lay ahead.

It was a room, a messy, gray room, with peeling wallpaper, stains, broken furniture, as if it had been smashed, and the windows were boarded.

The room was shabby and dusty, and it was obvious that no one had been here for years.

The man in black slipped out of the hole and looked around.

There was no one in the room, and a door was open on the right that led to a dark foyer.

He knew where it was, known as one of the scariest places in Britain – the Screaming Shack, because in the middle of the night, there used to be terrifying sounds coming from it.

Very ridiculous urban legend.

Knowing the truth, he naturally knew that it was only because of a damn werewolf.

The man's gaze swept around the room, and finally at the ceiling, he decided to step onto the collapsed staircase.

At this moment, the man in black had a vigilant face.

Because he heard the faint sound of footsteps in the tunnel behind him.

He dodged and hid behind the door.

A gray-haired man popped up.

"Except for your weapons. ”

"Armor for protection. ”

The gray-haired young man had been cautious and reacted immediately.

"Lupin. ”

"Severus. ”

Snape walked out from behind the door, and Lupin came up from inside the tunnel.

The two looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Snape gave Lupin a disgusted look.

It's just that there seems to be a tension between them, but the vigilance in Snape's eyes has decreased.

Lupin was the first to put away his wand.

"What are you doing here?" said Snape unceremoniously.

Lupin smiled lightly: "It seems to be the same as you." ”

The atmosphere was a little cool, a little awkward.

After all, that happened back then.

"Severus, I think we'd better sit down first. ”

Snape scoffed at the dirty, messy surroundings.

Lupin used a new spell and walked over to a chair to sit down.

He said, "Severus, Sirius really just wanted to play a joke on you, and I didn't know it, I swear ......"

Snape exclaimed, "That's enough, I don't want to talk about that again, hehe, joke? he's clearly murder! ”

Lupin looked at Snape's angry look and was puzzled: "But, didn't Jaime stop you?"

Snape's anger burned with rage at the name, and his voice was sharp: "Do you think that he only stopped a life-threatening prank by his friend, and that I should be grateful to him, and that he is my savior?"

Snape gritted his teeth and said, "You have to make it clear that you have been responsible for the whole thing! ”

Snape's eyes narrowed, and he said in a tone that didn't know what it meant, "Still, Jaime is dead, and I'm alive and well, and I don't want to pursue this old thing." ”

Lupin was annoyed.

At this time, a voice was heard from the entrance to the floor.

A big black dog has appeared.

He became a man with long hair that covered his eyes.

When he saw Lupin, he couldn't help but hug him heavily, ignoring Snape.

Snape was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

His eyes turned red.

His wand shot out the string, tying Lupin tightly and slamming him to the ground.

"I've been telling Dumbledore that you're not trustworthy, and it seems so, but it's okay, Azkaban has two more people to go. ”

Snape's wand pointed at Black, "But I'd rather enjoy revenge." ”

Lupin said, "Severus, calm down...... There is a misunderstanding here. ”

There was a frenzied glint in Snape's eyes, and he yelled, "Shut up, you damn werewolf, you know what!"

The tip of his wand crackled and sparks burst out, and Black remained motionless.

He could see how irrational Snape was now, and trying to communicate with him, or even convince him of something, would not work.

Just what about Harry?

It was Harry who suddenly spoke in his head, informing him to come to this place.

He was surprised at what magic Harry had used, and surprised that Harry seemed to know who he was.

So he came here, he thought, at least tell Harry, explain the truth about what happened.

The same goes for Lupin and Snape, who were both summoned by Harry.

But Snape was clearly too emotional to wonder why Lupin and Blake were here.

A voice suddenly appeared: "Are you already here? ”

Harry suddenly appeared inside the house.

With a shake of his hand, a dark shadow was thrown out, turning into a man in the air.

Broken hands and feet, only a bare upper body remained.

"It's your business, shouldn't I be involved?"
