The Screaming Shack is a haunted house in the UK. The entire shack will sway with the change of wind direction. The entrance is invisible from the outside because all the doors and windows are nailed shut. No matter what magic is used on the Screaming Shack, No spell will have any effect.
The Shrieking Shack was built by Dumbledore for Remus Lupin to hide in while he was transforming into a werewolf.
After hearing what Dolores Umbridge said, Connery Fudge certainly agreed. There are so many secret passages and secret rooms in Hogwarts that even past principals dare not claim to have mastered them all. In the office, there is a secret passage connecting the famous Shrieking Shack. This is normal. I believe this is not something Regulus Black would do.
"Then how are we going to find them now?"
Connery Fudge looked very unhappy. There was actually Dumbledore's Army hidden in Hogwarts. Isn't it enough that he had the Order of the Phoenix? He also needs to cultivate his supporters from within his children. This is really too much, very much too much.
"If you are willing to wait, Mr. Minister, we can wait for their return in the teaching assistant's office."
Dolores Umbridge said with some embarrassment that after all, the evidence had been obtained, but when it came time to arrest someone, she had to wait for the other party to come out on her own. This was really a sign of incompetence.
"Why are we waiting for them to come out? Can't we just go over there or go to the Shrieking Shack and tear it down."
Connery Fudge became more and more excited as he spoke, and almost hit Dolores Umbridge in the face with his cane.
"Sorry! Sir Minister, no one has ever been able to damage the Shrieking Shack. We are lucky to have found the secret passage."
Dolores Umbridge saw that Fudge had calmed down and continued to explain.
"And that secret passage is equipped with a mechanism. As long as they don't close the door over there after they pass by, the entrance here will be just a cabinet. And if the door of the cabinet here is opened, the cabinet on the opposite side cannot be used. God knows they Where will you sneak away when you find out?"
Just think about it and you'll understand, how could a place as famous as the Screaming Shack have only one secret passage!
"Okay! Let's go to that office and wait for them. As long as they show up in a group, we've caught them."
Connery Fudge had no choice but to compromise. As long as he could catch them, he would be able to overpower Dumbledore, so that the Order of the Phoenix would not dare to go against him.
The group suppressed the three informants and arrived at Regulus Black's assistant office.
The dust here is often cleaned by students who come in and out, but the tables, chairs and utensils here are still as messy as a warehouse.
"Has Regulus Black never used this office? He has been teaching at Hogwarts for five years."
Although there is no dust, there is a delicious smell in the room that only people who have been absent for a long time...ah! No, it smells musty.
In this environment, waiting for Dumbledore's Army who didn't know what time the activity lasted, Connery Fudge took out a handkerchief and covered his face.
"I heard that since Regulus Black came to Hogwarts, he occupied a large room near the principal's office and used it as a bedroom and office. Usually only girls can go in. It's his palace."
Dolores Umbridge expressed her sincere admiration for her colleagues who knew how to enjoy themselves. She dared to do such a thing under Dumbledore's eyes when she first came to Hogwarts. She looked at her office and didn't dislike it. Small! That's really small.
The two carefully walked around the tables and chairs and walked to the back of the office. Surrounded by a bunch of tables and chairs, a large black wardrobe stood in the middle. If no one said that this was the entrance to a secret passage, it would indeed look ordinary. .
"I think it's this cabinet, but if you open it from here, the cabinet on the opposite side will immediately turn into an ordinary cabinet, and those children will know that they have been discovered, so waiting is the only way to catch them, unless we find someone else. The secret passage.”
Dolores Umbridge waved her wand to explore the Vanishing Cabinet. There was indeed something wrong with it. There were magic mechanisms and traceless stretching spells set up inside.
Connery Fudge also investigated and had to agree with these words.
This is indeed a well-designed secret passage mechanism, just to prevent others from tracking it.
"Regulus! A bunch of fools went to your office. They don't even know you never go to that office."
Peeves suddenly jumped in front of Regulus Black. Since other girls were present, Peeves told what happened in a funny way.
"Is that all?"
Regulus Black asked expressionlessly.
"Uh! That's it."
Peeves looked shocked and surprised, obviously something interesting and funny was happening.
"Thank you very much for coming to report, Peeves."
Regulus Black continued his bland response, which made Peeves even more upset.
"It's boring. I won't play with you anymore."
After Peeves finished speaking, he got into the wall and disappeared. Peeves had completed the task assigned by Regulus.
"Regulus! You have an office?"
Daphne looked very surprised. After all, everyone knew that Regulus Black occupied this room on the eighth floor. It was both an office and a dormitory. It was also Regulus Black's harem, but she didn't know that he also had an office. .
"I don't know if I will have an office. If I hadn't opened a temporary fireplace when I came back from the Ministry of Magic, God knows I would have an office. Do you know how much dust there is in a room that I haven't been to in five years?"
Regulus Black's expression was really empathetic, as if he had also seen the dusty room. For a girl who loves cleanliness, this is really a fatal thing, even if it is just a 'cleaning up' A magic spell can solve the problem, but in their eyes, this room is hell.
Regulus Black would not care about Connery Fudge's actions, so he would just let them wait and see.
Because he had other important matters to deal with, Professor Sybill Trelawney of the Prophecy class was expelled from the Ministry of Magic because she habitually cursed the pink toad when being examined. The result was even worse. She was almost expelled, and had Dumbledore not arrived to stop her, she would have become the first professor to be expelled from Hogwarts.
Walking into the room where Sybill Trelawney now lives, this woman still has disheveled hair and thick bottle-bottomed eyes. She doesn’t know how to clean, maintain, or dress up, and how to live as a woman. It's okay to be like this.
"Assistant Blake, are you here to tell me to leave?"
As soon as she saw Regulus Black standing outside the door, Sybill Trelawney felt that she would be driven away. This was really because Regulus's expression was too cold.
"Oh! Of course not, I'm here to visit you and ask some questions."
Regulus Black did not expect that this woman, who had no understanding of the world, would ask him to sit down.
Sitting opposite Sybill Trelawney, Regulus Black revealed the true purpose of his visit.
"Sybill Trelawney! Are you married?"
Regulus Black tried to make his expression look as friendly as possible.
"Regulus! Are you... are you proposing to me?"
Sybill Trelawney's expression suddenly became shy. Being proposed to by such a handsome Regulus, this happiness came too suddenly. Why was there no mention of this in her prophecy? What a foreshadowing!
Even if there is a little bit of foreshadowing, that would be great! How should I respond when I am so unprepared
Looking at the self-absorbed Sybill Trelawney, Regulus Black had to calm down to communicate.
Whoever wants to be a prostitute, don’t think of me as a prostitute! He is not yet ready to marry Sybill Trelawney.
"So you want a child? A Black child?"
Regulus Black solemnly took out a piece of paper with many clauses written in detail.
Article 1 of the contract: I, Sybill Trelawney, voluntarily join the Black family and am obligated to give birth to descendants for the continuation of the Black family's bloodline.
