At the same time, inside the two broomsticks bar-

"The buttons are still here, Hermione!" Neville Longbottom whispered, "I'm glad I didn't lose it!"

He looked around cautiously, and then, taking advantage of the inattention of the people around him, quietly pulled the button from the back of the bench and put it in his pocket.

"Let's go!" Neville said.

Hermione Granger didn't answer, and followed him with some preoccupation, and the two of them walked out of the two broomstick bars.

"Give. It wasn't until he left the bar that Neville handed the button to Hermione:

"Let's go to Duke Honey, we can help Matthew pick some candy in advance......"

Before Neville could finish his sentence, Hermione suddenly shook her head worriedly.

She pursed her lips and said, "No, Neville...... I felt that the tone and expression of Matthew's speech at that time ...... It's all weird......

"Strange?" Neville was stunned, and at the same time he touched his head innocently, "It's a little strange to think about it...... Matthew isn't usually so fierce......"

"Yes," Hermione nodded again, "as if he was ...... It's like they're deliberately driving us away......"

"Drive us away......" Neville couldn't help but become even more confused.

"Yes...... That's right...... It must be ......," Hermione said three in a row, "and she's driving us away...... Maybe Matthew was in my bugging device and heard some dangerous message...... In order to prevent it from reaching us, he drove us away......"

Her voice trembled a little.

"Damn!" Neville quickly reacted, and he said categorically, "Let's go back quickly...... No matter how big the danger is, we can't let Matthew carry it alone!"

With that, he prepared to run towards the screaming shack.

"Wait, Neville!" Hermione said suddenly.

At the same time, she reached out and grabbed the other party.

"What are you waiting for, Hermione......" Neville said with an anxious expression, "If you don't hurry back, it's going to be too late......"

"No...... Wait...... Neville ......" The expression on Hermione's face suddenly became calm.

She analyzed softly: "The reason why Matthew will drive us away is because he is going to face an opponent that we can't deal with...... If we rush back like this, we'll only get him in trouble...... No way...... Absolutely not......"

She shook her head vigorously.

"If we want to help Matthew...... I have to help him find a helper, find a very good helper......"

"That's right, that's probably what he's trying to get rid of us," Hermione Granger said, "Come on, Neville, let's go back to Hogwarts...... Go find Headmaster Rozier!"

......

Neville and Hermione ran as fast as they could, along Hogsmeade Avenue in the direction of Hogwarts.

"Won't it be too late......" Neville said with some concern as he ran out of breath, "run back to Hogwarts and find a way to find Headmaster Rozier...... I don't know how much time it will take in between......"

Hermione frowned, obviously worried, but she didn't say anything.

The two had just crossed Hogsmeade Avenue to the path between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade......

At this moment, an adult man came up to him and almost collided with them.

"Mr. Longbottom, Miss Granger, what's wrong?" said the other man mildly, "you look anxious!"

It was Professor Severus Snape.

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Professor Snape, go and save Matthew......" Neville said quickly.

"Save ...... Save Matthew?" Professor Snape didn't seem to be able to react yet, what was going on.

Hermione was still able to maintain some composure, she spoke quickly and clearly enough.

She told Professor Snape about Matthew's unusual behavior on the hillside, and her speculation that Matthew must be in danger.

"You mean...... Mr. Wakefield is in crisis right now?" Professor Snape asked unhurriedly, frowning.

"That's true, Professor!" Hermione looked so anxious that tears were falling, "Please, come with us......"

Looking at Professor Snape's puzzled expression, they thought for a moment that Professor Snape would think they were just joking, or that they were just children overthinking......

Unexpectedly, Professor Severus Snape quickly nodded solemnly:

"Lead the way!"

"Quick, Professor...... You come with me!" Hermione took the lead and ran back.

......

Five minutes later, the three of them reached the top of the hill where the screaming shack was located.

The scenery on the hillside is still the same, with withered yellow leaves flying everywhere, and there are almost no human figures in sight.

At least Matthew Wakefield isn't here.

"Matthew!" Hermione and Neville shouted anxiously.

But there was no response.

"Is this where you were separated?" Professor Snape asked calmly.

Neville and Hermione both nodded hurriedly.

Professor Snape quickly crouched down, took out his wand, aimed it at the ground, and whispered something softly.

At this moment, Neville and Hermione seemed to see a very anxious figure running towards the hillside.

"It's Matthew!" Hermione screamed, "and he ran up the hill...... Over there...... It's ......"

"It's a screaming shack," Professor Snape replied calmly, "and you're right, Mr. Wakefield is in a bit of trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have gone that way...... Let's go, Miss Granger, let's chase after you!"

With that, he followed the previous phantom and ran towards the hillside.

Neville and Hermione hurriedly followed.

As he ran, Professor Snape stopped from time to time to test something.

"The fence has been kicked down, and the weeds have never been trampled," he said very calmly, "and sure enough, Mr. Wakefield has been here...... Keep coming with me......"

"Professor......" Hermione's voice trembled slightly, "go further...... It's a screaming shack......"

The Screaming Shack, after all, is said to be the most haunted house in all of Britain.

And Hermione Granger is just a little girl who has just turned 13.

"Then you go back to Hogsmeade first. Professor Snape nodded.

"No, I'm going to follow......" Hermione seemed determined as she nodded.

Then she followed.

......

The three of them broke into the screaming shack like this.

But the situation inside made them dumbfounded.

The whole room seemed to have erupted into an extremely fierce battle, with fragments of furniture, dust kicked up, and very chaotic.

And on the floor, a huge cave appeared!
