DipNovel Chapter 496 The Screaming Shack
Chapter 496 The Screaming Shack
"Professor, are we on the way to Hogsmeade?"
A little wizard asked,
"Hahaha, yes, our destination is Hogsmeade."
The little wizards suddenly started whispering,
They couldn't imagine that any of Hagrid's favorite magical animals could haunt Hogsmeade.
What does Hagrid like? Three-headed dogs! Norwegian Ridgeback! Hippogriffs are the gentlest among them.
"Could it be that you're looking for Professor Kettleburn?"
Some young wizards were communicating with each other and said,
Except for Raven, who joined the class again, everyone present enrolled in the class in 1990. When they started taking the Care of Magical Creatures class in their third grade, Professor Kettleburn had not yet retired.
So I got to know this professor who was famous for his recklessness.
Although Professor Hagrid is also very reckless, even more reckless than Professor Kettleburn, he has the capital, doesn’t he?
But not all wizards can be spitted by the fire dragon with dragon fire. As a result, even the beard cannot be burned. The dragon fire of the young dragon is also dragon fire, and its essence has not changed.
It’s just that the little wizards heard that Professor Kettleburn has now cultivated his moral character.
He didn't want to lose his only complete left arm and half of his leg, so he only kept one Flobber caterpillar in Hogsmeade.
"Hahaha, who are you listening to the rumors about?"
Hagrid couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation of the little wizards.
"Although Professor Kettleburn is raising Flobber caterpillars, it's true, but this is just because the residents of Hogsmeade don't let him raise anything else. I gave him a set of O'Hara steel prosthetics before. He He went to Romania every three days to study fire dragons, Raven, do you know about this?"
[Oliha Gang is Orichalcum, which focuses on physical resistance, while O'Hara Steel is a magical steel that focuses on magic resistance]
"Of course, you know the relationship between Charlie and Professor Kettleburn. If he hadn't been influenced by this guy, even if he liked Dracula, he wouldn't have gone to raise dragons. At most, he would have gone over there. Play Quidditch.”
Raven sold Charlie's privacy without any problem,
Hagrid said at this time,
"But the success of this experiment is actually thanks to Professor Kettleburn, who and I conducted this research together."
"Oh?" Raven suddenly became interested,
However, Hagrid kept it secret here and decided to wait until later.
Since it was the first class in the morning, when Hagrid arrived at Hogsmeade with a group of young wizards, there was no one there!
You know, although Diagon Alley has replaced Hogsmeade in the past hundred years,
But this does not prevent Hogsmeade from being the only pure wizarding village in the British magical world, and it is also the second largest commercial center.
At this time, no one may have something to do with today being a working day. Who would come over to spend money at ninety o'clock in the morning on a working day?
"Good morning, Hagrid, are you looking for Professor Kettleburn again?"
The current owner of the Three Broomsticks Tavern, Ms. Rosmerta, happened to be holding a basin and sprinkling water at the door to reduce dust and cool down the temperature as much as possible.
I don’t know if it’s because someone played too intensely in June, but the whole summer in England was very hot this year.
(Actually, it was very hot even without Raven. The UK was already very hot in 1995, and Raven made it worse.)
"Good morning, Ms. Rosmerta, is Professor Kettleburn home?"
Ms. Rosmerta sighed and put down the open basin. Under the control of magic, the water in the basin automatically spread out.
And she rolled up her sleeves and said
"No, he was arm wrestling with someone last night. He drank too much and is now on the second floor of the pub."
"Lost?" Raven asked strangely,
Professor Kettleburn's prosthetic limbs were customized by Hagrid from Fang's shop, and they were made of precious alchemical metals. How could he still lose?
"He won, so he asked others to buy him a drink."
Ms. Rosmerta turned and went upstairs, probably to call Professor Kettleburn.
......
Not long after, a drunken old man wandered down from the second floor of the pub.
Except that his appearance and skin look like an old man, you really can't tell that he is an old man in his 80s or 90s.
Professor Kettleburn wore simple coarse work clothes and looked more like a farmer than a professor.
He was a muscular man with horrific burn marks on his face from an accident in which he lost his right hand, left leg and part of his right leg below the knee.
But now those missing parts have been replaced by steel that shines with a faint blue color.
......
The little wizards were speechless for a while. At first, they thought that the professor had concealed his alchemical prosthetic limb and tricked others into drinking it.
Did it turn out that his prosthetic limbs were displayed in such a generous manner?
Who came to fight with this guy?
Is it a troll?
"Hiccup...it's little Rupert, sorry, sorry, hahaha, I met someone who took advantage of me yesterday, so I couldn't help but drink a little more."
Professor Kettleburn burped, called the 67-year-old mixed-race giant by his nickname, laughed and patted Hagrid on the shoulder with a ruthless iron hand.
Make a "boom boom" sound,
So what kind of person is he being taken advantage of?
The little wizards hope that the former professor can say more,
However, Professor Kettleburn was not yet confused and had not forgotten the business, so he greeted Hagrid and said,
"Let's go. You can't enter that room. You can only take the secret passage in my house."
"A house you can't get into!?"
“Screaming Shack!!!?”
The little wizards have realized the destination of their trip, the largest haunted house in the UK. Because the [ghost] is too powerful, no one can become famous in the wizarding world (it is actually Dumbledore's magic)!
Raven acted as if she should take it for granted.
The surprise Hagrid gave him, if nothing else, was that there was a breakthrough in [Boggart breeding technology].
The location they originally selected for the experiment was the Shrieking Shack, because Boggarts are creatures that absorb fear for a living, and this is the only place around Hogwarts where they can still absorb a little bit.
