007 Unexpected Letter
"Oh! Oh my god, demon, demon." A woman's panic sounded,
"Don't do this, Lisa, calm down." A man shouted,
"Okay, dementors are better than dreams," Lawrence muttered, "at least they won't let me see the picture."
On Halloween morning, the third-year students who have not been to Hogmaud were very excited, but for Lawrence and the twins who are already in the fifth grade, this is just a time to relax.
"Making money is to spend money, right?" George was eating breakfast excitedly, and he couldn't wait for the rare holiday.
"There are some more - less legitimate materials." Fred added,
"I plan to try to walk the secret passage of the beating Liu," said Lawrence. "I wanted to try it last year, but you know...that happened and I haven't had a chance."
"Go and go," Fred said, "When you come back, remember to tell us where he leads."
So after breakfast, the three of them walked out of the castle and parted ways. Lawrence went to the beating Liu, located outside the Forbidden Forest. The twins followed the crowd and walked towards Hogmaud. The twins had no doubts about whether Lawrence could break through the beating Liu's brutal attack. At most, they were worried that the beating Liu would be burned by Lawrence.
"Okay - "tree tumor" must refer to this thing," Lawrence took a slash, and agilely avoided a branch of the beating willow, waved his wand to direct a small branch on the ground to poke it accurately on the tree tumor. The beating willow stopped immediately. Lawrence approached the trunk and found a hole at the bottom of the beating willow. He slid in, and the branch that had lost command fell down, and was smashed to pieces by the beating willow's flexible branches.
The passage was not big, Lawrence had to bend over to move forward, and it was not very comfortable to walk. After a long downhill, the passage began to rise. After a corner, he saw the worn-out wooden floor.
Lawrence found this a messy room, full of broken furniture, the windows were roughly nailed with wooden boards, and the sunlight penetrated into the room through the gap. Lawrence walked in front of the window, looking out through the gap, he realized that he had come to the screaming shed in the village of Hogsmeade, and he moved his eyes back into the house, and on the dusty floor, there was a row of clear footprints extending to the door of the room, but it was obviously not a human footprint, it was more like the footprints left by some kind of beast,
Lawrence walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the house. Everything was still broken and nothing was complete. He looked at the footprints on the ground, stepped on the shaky stairs, climbed up the second floor, and walked into the only room without the door closed. Lawrence walked into the room curiously, and he wanted to know which beast ran in.
Surprisingly, the things in this room are relatively complete, a huge dirty bed with mosquito nets and a shabby wardrobe close to the corner of the wall, and what attracted Lawrence's attention was a small round table, which was the cleanest thing in this room, and it seemed to have some words engraved on it.
"'We will trust each other, James Porter.'" Lawrence squatted down and looked at the words above and read it. He was very familiar with the font, it was a 'pointed fork'.
"'We will help each other, Sirius Black.'" Lawrence's heart sank. He was sure of Sirius at this time. Black is "bigfoot", so he has few choices. Should he give the map to Dunbulido in its entirety?
"'We will follow each other, Pet Peter." Lawrence struggled to identify his name. The words here were scraped hard by the claws of something. From the traces, it seemed to be a recent incident. This is the "worm tail" and the person in the minister's mouth whose little finger was blown away by Black, (Note 1)
"'We will be loyal to each other, Remus Lupin." - Uh?" Lawrence was startled. It turned out that Professor Lupin was "Moon Face"? But he was a little unsure, "Or the same name?"
At this moment, a low growl came from the dirty bed, and Lawrence remembered that there might be a beast in the room. He raised his wand to pose in a defensive position. A big black dog poked his head out and made a low demonstration.
"Dog?" Lawrence frowned. He looked at the big dog as thin as a fire bone. He guessed that it might have been an accidental run in the Muggle world. The big dog's gray eyes stared at Lawrence. Lawrence felt that it had no malice.
"Are you hungry?" Lawrence asked, the big dog seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded. Lawrence groped in his pocket and took out a chocolate frog.
"No, Muggle seems to have said that dogs cannot eat chocolate - hey - "Lawrence paused and was about to put the chocolate frog back into his pocket. The black dog suddenly jumped up and took the chocolate frog away from Lawrence's hand, but it did not rush to tear the packaging, but stuffed the chocolate frog under the bed.
"Okay, okay, I don't care if you have a bad stomach." Lawrence shrugged, but he was secretly alert. If it had attacked the right hand holding the wand, he might have lost the wand, (Note 2)
"Is this what you did?" Lawrence pointed to the scratch of "Peter" on the small round table, "I don't know if the dog needs to sharpen its claws, but it shouldn't destroy it."
The big dog whistled twice in anger, and it showed its sharp teeth, Lawrence speculated that its teeth were at least one foot long.
"I originally wanted to bring you something," Lawrence raised his eyebrows, "Since that's the case, then let it go-away-?"
"Woo--" The big dog paused, as if he was fighting in his heart, and finally hunger still prevailed. It lowered its head and grabbed the quilt to vent its hatred.
"Ha──" Lawrence smiled, confirming the direction of the window to make sure it was not facing the village. Lawrence waved his wand to pry open the wooden board on the window, "I will send some food to you when I wait."

It took Lawrence some time to deliver the food into the open window, and then resealed the window, and returned to Hogwarts through the tunnel. When he found the twins among the crowd returning to school, the three of them walked into the hall together.
The walls of the hall have been occupied by various pumpkin lanterns, bats flew around the ceiling, bright colorful ribbons floating in the air, Halloween dinner is as delicious as usual, and even the third-grade students who tasted every candy for the first time at the Honey Duke Candy Shop, couldn't help but eat every dish a few times. The ghosts' performances were also very interesting. Glenfindo's tower ghost - Nick, who almost lost his head, was very popular for his clumsy performance of hanging,
Everyone was very happy that night, and Lawrence was not surprised to find something wrong until they returned to the portrait of the fat lady in Glenfindota.
"Get it, let it, let it, I am the president of the Student Union," Percy's voice came from the crowd. He finally squeezed to Lawrence, who was already standing at the forefront of the crowd. "It is impossible that everyone forgot the clearance speech - Lawrence?"
"Portrait, Percy." Lawrence looked at the fat lady's broken portrait, and the canvas was hanging loosely there. The fat lady was gone,
"Go and invite Professor Dunbulido here-" Percy shouted sharply, and the crowd made a stir. Soon, Dunbulido came, and the crowd gave up a passage for him to walk over,
"We must find her," Dumblido turned his head to look at the teachers who rushed over, "Professor McGonagall, please find Felch, we will search every portrait of the school--"
"Good luck" Pipi Ghost giggled and rushed out of the wall. He looked at the panicked crowd and acted very happy, (Note 3)
"What do you mean, Pipi Ghost?" Dumblido looked up at him and asked, which made Pipi Ghost's smile restrained.
"Oh, Mr. Principal, she's just a mess," Pipig said with a bow and pretending to be respectful. "I saw her running in the fourth floor landscape painting and hiding in the woods. I was very sad - so pitiful -"
"Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked,
"Oh, yes, Mr. Principal, she won't let him in, he's so angry- you know." Pipi Ghost circled in a big circle in the air, "That Sirius Black."
Lawrence looked at Dunbulido's serious expression, and he secretly decided to go to Professor Lupin tomorrow and then decide whether to hand over the map to Dunbulido.

Author's words: Lawrence, don't play with food--not right, don't abuse animals.
uh-huh!
Oh──I just realized that if I clicked [All] comments, I would not see the [System] comments sent by the rewards... If the cover is on, I will have time to QAQ one day.
Note 1: To be honest, I think the translation of Petdwarf Peter is very strange... Peter_Pettigrew, Taiwan version translation: Peter. Pediru, but after thinking about it, I'll just forget it and continue to use Petrite.
Note 2: Dogs cannot eat chocolate, the ingredients contained in them will cause harm to them (depending on the amount of intake and the size of the dog), and may cause death.
Note 3: In fact, I think the Pipi Ghost might have come to report the news on purpose. The fat lady ran away on the fourth floor. The Pipi Ghost had no reason to return to the entrance of the Glenfindo Tower on the sixth floor, right? Of course, it may also be that he was looking for something to do if he had nothing to do...
