I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

"You're looking for that old woman Rose Daniel?"

The front desk clerk at the Owl Post Office raised his head and looked up and down at Lynn in surprise. He seemed surprised that someone knew that there was such a person here.

"Go inside, she lives next to the owl shed. If you want to leave later, just walk through the back door. I'll be closing soon after get off work."

"thanks."

Lynn nodded to him and walked towards the back of the post office.

The Owl Post Office, as the name suggests, is a post office that uses owls as couriers. One or two owls are definitely not enough when sending larger items, such as the one that Rozier sent to Lynn in the second grade. Something, just hired a dozen owls.

So just like the owl shed at Hogwarts, an owl shed is also built behind this post office, and a person is specially hired to take care of these little guys. This person is Granny Daniel who Lynn is looking for on this trip.

When Lynn came to the owl shed, he saw an elderly witch feeding the owls.

She looked big for her grade, hunched over her waist, with reading glasses on her face, grizzled hair, a dirty dark blue robe, and a patched, pointed hat on her head.

The shed was as well-kept as the Hogwarts Owl Shed, crowded but neat and orderly. Most of the owls were not very quiet, because night was the time when they should be active, but although they were chirping and noisy, But they all stood on the wooden shelf, waiting for the old witch to distribute the worms to the trough in front of them.

The number of owls here is not necessarily less than that in Hogwarts, but the Hogwarts owl shed is taken care of by hundreds of house elves, but there is only one old witch here.

Under her was a large copper basin filled with a kind of little worm that looked a bit like maggots, and the old witch tapped the copper basin with her old wand about her age. The worm was pulled by magic and flew to the trough in front of the owls.

A large number of "maggots" were flying around in the darkness, causing Lynn to get goosebumps when he saw it.

Mother-in-law Daniel had noticed Lynn who came in, but she just glanced at him blankly, without any intention of communicating with Lynn.

Lynn didn't feel embarrassed either. The more capable the person, the more eccentric his temper was. Besides, Aberforth had reminded him before he came, and unless he was named, the old witch would ignore him.

"Hello mother-in-law Daniel, the owner of the Pig's Head Bar asked me to come here to find you."

Granny Daniel's figure paused, she turned around and looked at Lynn carefully, and said in a hoarse and weird voice.

"What did that old guy ask you to do?"

"I want to ask some secrets about Hogsmeade. He said that you have been living in Hogsmeade, and you should provide me with some help."

"Jie Jie Jie" Granny Daniel laughed strangely, "You did a lot of good for him, didn't you?"

Lynn scratched his brows and said with a dry smile, "He charged me a hundred Galleons."

Granny Daniel sneered and shook her head, and walked into a wooden hut next to the owl shed with her hands behind her back.

"Come in and sit."

Lynn followed her into the cabin. This cabin was similar to Hagrid's cabin, but although there were many small things, the whole place was not messy. It could be seen that Mother-in-law Daniel's usual hygiene habits were at least less cluttered. Aberforth that slob was much better.

After Mother-in-law Daniel entered the room, she took off her robe and applied a descaling spell, and then put on a dark green home robe.

She sat on a large rocking chair, squinted her eyes swayingly, and pointed her finger at the teapot on the stove. The teapot flew over by itself and poured a cup of hot tea for Lynn and herself.

"The old guy is open to money, but a hundred gold Galleons sold me for a good price." Granny Daniel sipped the hot tea in the cup and said leisurely.

Lynn didn't speak, he was afraid that he would say that the one hundred Galleons was actually his money, and it was just Aberforth's favor to come to her, and the old witch would kick him out on the spot.

"There are so many hidden secrets in Hogsmeade. What do you want to know?"

"I heard there's a treasure trove in Hogsmeade?"

Lynn didn't explain where he was looking at the Hogs Head Bar because he was afraid that the person who really took the basilisk away was hiding in Hogsmeade. If he directly asked Hogsmeade if there was any legend about the treasure place, he would definitely Will beat grass to startle snakes.

But now he has no such concerns in front of mother-in-law Daniel. After all, he was introduced by Dumbledore's younger brother, and it is unlikely that he has anything to do with the basilisk.

"You want to come to Hogsmeade to hunt for treasure?" Granny Daniel chuckled. "Treasures have many meanings. Froome, who opened a candy store, hid a sum of money in the cellar without telling his wife. A treasure trove?"

Lynn shook his head: "The treasure field I'm looking for doesn't necessarily have gold and silver treasures, it may have hidden some treasures before, and people may have taken the treasures later, this place must be concealed enough and enough Few people know where it is."

The place where the basilisk can be hidden is definitely not too small. The big snake is more than 20 feet long, and it is six or seven meters long, and its size is huge.

"There are a lot of conditions. If Hogsmeade has this place and I know it, I should be very impressed." Granny Daniel recalled on the rocking reclining chair, and soon she talked about a legend.

"In the past, before the goblins occupied Hogsmeade, the ugly guys built many large cellars here. Some of these underground secret rooms were held as prisoners of war in the war of the goblin rebellion. of wizard prisoners of war, and others were used to house the frail and the sick among the goblins.

As for what the goblins value very much, the various weapons they built and the gold and silver treasures needed for war will naturally need such a cellar, because they have enough weapons and treasures, so this cellar should also be large enough. After the defeat, this place will not necessarily be discovered by the Ministry of Magic. The goblins are very united, especially when it comes to the treasure, they together concealed the existence of this treasure house, and then after the wizard and the goblin reconciled and re-established trust, they will put the treasure house together. All the treasures in it were moved to Gringotts, and they proudly kept this treasure hidden forever, and would never let anyone know. "

Lynn stared at Granny Daniel: "Then how did you know?"

"Me? I don't know." Daniel said slowly, "What I just said is just my guess, but it's true that the goblins have built many large cellars in Hogsmeade. As for whether there is such a treasure. , you can treat it as a legend. Whether this legend is true or not, it is up to you to verify whether this place exists or not, and I can't help you."

"Where are the entrances to these cellars? I heard before that there was a war criminal camp built by goblins in Hogsmeade. The owner of the Honey Duke candy shop moved to Hogsmeade for this purpose, but they found it. Three generations have not found where the entrance to this cellar is."

"I can indeed give you some advice on this." Granny Daniel swayed the hot tea in the cup, "Hogsmeade has been turned over by three generations of Froome but still haven't found the entrance to the cellar, then This entrance is not in Hogsmeade."

"Then where can it be?"

"Apart from Hogsmeade, is there no other place for wizards to gather to hide?"

Lynn's pupils shrank suddenly: "You mean the entrance is at Hogwarts?"

This is indeed possible. After all, the basilisk was originally in the castle of Hogwarts. If it wants to go to a new hiding place in Hogsmeade, there will be a risk of being seen directly, but if it wants to go to a new hiding place in Hogsmeade Being able to go directly from Hogwarts castle to this place is no such worry.

Granny Daniel shook her head: "I didn't tell you this, you guessed it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me."

Of course Lynn understood what she meant. She looked like a middle-aged wizard now. If she wanted to enter Hogwarts to find the entrance, she would definitely not be able to enter in an open manner. If something went wrong, she didn't want to be implicated.

"Then if I enter Hogwarts and want to find this entrance, can you give me any advice?"

"The old guy's face is only so big at most. After asking this question, you will get out." Granny Daniel finished the tea in the cup and said mercilessly.

"This is my last question."

"The time when the goblins occupied Hogsmeade was in 1612, but the time they built the cellar was much earlier than this time according to my opinion. At that time, they should not have completely broken with the wizard, and the entrance wanted to be built to Hogsmeade. Gwarts, there must be someone in the castle who knows."

Lynn frowned: "But after so many years, those who knew at that time must have died long ago."

"Can the dead not speak?"

Lynn was obviously not a fool, and he immediately understood what Granny Daniel meant.

"You mean, the ghost in Hogwarts!"

"The two oldest ghosts in Hogwarts are from Slytherin and Ravenclaw. The bloody sergeant has a cold personality, and he won't talk to you about any of the past, but the lady who lives in the Eagle's Nest is Different."

Lynn suddenly stood up from the chair, and he thanked mother-in-law Daniel seriously.

"Thank you for reminding Granny Daniel."

"Let's go after thanking you. When you get older, you have to go to bed earlier, and you won't be able to stay up late."

Lynn was not bothering her and left here in a hurry.

The dim light illuminated the hut, and the small space returned to peace.

Granny Daniel sat on the rocking chair, looked at the tea residue left at the bottom of her cup, and laughed inexplicably.

"The traveler of time, the future obscured by the fog, the head of the stars at Hogwarts, interesting, really interesting."
