The Bard at Hogwarts

As the Knight Bus stopped steadily on the side of the road.

With 57 pounds and 12 shillings in his pocket, Ino walked into the Horror October Festival theme park with his head held high.

But as he went deeper, he also found a fatal problem. During the Christmas holiday... I'm afraid no one would choose to visit the Horror Park.

Christmas is the season of Disney.

As a famous horror park in the British Isles, although it seems a bit deserted during the Christmas holiday, it also fills the atmosphere here.

A large square, a quiet path, a horror house with neon lights and strange shapes, and figures and staff flashing from time to time.

Even if you just stand outside, you can feel a faint fear.

Following the road signs, Ino passed one theme horror house after another, with ghost lights, skeletons, bloodstains, zombies, giant centipedes...

Finally, Ino stopped in front of a seemingly abandoned hospital.

He didn't want to go in, but there was a small convenience store at the door of this hospital theme house.

After spending one pound to buy some snacks and ice cream, I also learned from the middle-aged boss that the actual business hours here are 24 days before and after Halloween.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this place is not open at other times, but if there are not enough customers, many projects will be cancelled, such as rock concerts, mud races, and colored ball battles.

"I suggest you go back after eating snacks. They don't sell tickets to people under 16 unless they are accompanied by a guardian." The convenience store owner whispered.

"Thank you! I don't plan to go in, just take a look here." Ino responded with a smile, then walked to the bench opposite the convenience store and sat down quietly alone.

Although there were not many people around, he still felt a faint joy from the second perspective, as if this place was born to be a paradise for Boggart.

...

Time passed by minute by minute.

Sitting on the bench, Ino finished a bucket of ice cream and a small bag of cranberries, and the sky gradually darkened.

Just as he was about to leave, the noisy voice in the distance made him sit down again.

"I remember there is a convenience store here..."

"Why don't we go back? This place is just a name for nothing..."

"I'm here to experience fear, not to watch the clowns' clumsy performances..."

Listening to a series of noisy complaints, Ino smiled brightly.

A few seconds later.

At the turning point of the path, three men and two women, about twenty years old, dressed in trendy clothes, appeared.

It was obvious that the conversation just now was made by them, and the target of several people was obviously this convenience store.

However, when passing by the bench, two of the girls decisively changed their route.

...

Accompanied by a gust of fragrant wind, the bench opposite the convenience store, which had been unattended, was now crowded.

"Little boy, are you here alone? There are ghosts here at night!"

Ino rolled his eyes speechlessly at the blonde girl next to him. She had a hot body but no brains.

Not only was there nothing new in chatting up, but it also directly exposed the real intention. Just talking, there must be a whole person sticking to him.

But in order to test Boggart, he also deliberately lowered his voice.

"You know that? It's the hospital-themed horror house across the street. It's said that someone has seen a ghost there."

"Really?" This time it was the blonde girl's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that the reason she just made up would be true.

"Yes! Really." Ino nodded seriously.

Then he moved to the side without a sound. The soft touch from his arm made him a little uncomfortable.

But before he moved five centimeters, he hit the end again, accompanied by a burst of laughter:

"Hahaha, Belinda, your enthusiasm scared him. He almost got into my arms."

Ino stood up speechlessly and gave the bench to them.

At the same time, the other three boys also returned from the convenience store.

There was no hostile plot in the novel. After a brief exchange, Ino also learned that the five people in front of him were students of the School of Medicine at Cambridge University.

The reason why they came here was to practice their courage. Several people had long been determined to become forensic doctors.

...

The ticket office window of the horror house.

Ino looked at them seriously again.

"Are you sure you want to experience fear?"

"Of course! Little Ino!" said the blonde girl Belinda.

"Okay, have fun!" After getting the correct answer, Ino turned and walked to the side.

At the same time, a faint smoke floated out of his cuffs, quietly following behind the few people.

Back on the bench, he also saw the panoramic view of the horror house from the second perspective, which looked like an abandoned hospital in the last century.

In the long corridor, there were various stained cases scattered around, and the walls were full of strange graffiti and various scratches similar to those made by nails.

"I feel a little different here!" Belinda noticed the difference at the first time.

This place gave her a sense of reality, especially the dark purple graffiti on the wall, as if it was the color of dried blood.

As Belinda's voice fell, the few people who came in together began to analyze the surrounding environment one by one.

"The usual trick, buying livestock blood through legal channels and smearing it on the wall in a pretentious manner."

"And those scratches, made of simulated metal bones, scratched out by hydraulic power..."

From the second perspective, Ino listened to these professional analyses with a faint smile on his face.

The five people stood at the door and communicated honestly, and no one chose to go deeper.

But just this, the fear generated also made Borg change a lot.

The light smoke that originally only occupied half of the room now stretched as freely as possible, one meter, two meters... until the radius of a full twenty meters was covered by the light smoke.

...

At the same time.

Ino closed his eyes slightly, and leaned on the bench with ease.

Under the sharing of senses, he experienced a kind of spiritual satisfaction. It was like studying hard for a whole year and getting satisfactory results in the final exam.

This is an indescribable spiritual experience.

Gradually, Ino was also immersed in this experience.

Because he closed his eyes, he did not notice the changes around him.

At this moment, with the bench as the origin, countless tiny stones gradually floated in the air, rotating counterclockwise in a nebula-like pattern.

As the stone's rotation speed gradually increased, the surrounding traction also slowly increased.

From stones, rocks, dry trees, even several benches wrapped around, and the ice cream cart not far away...

More and more things floated in the air.

...

I don't know how long it has been.

When Ino opened his eyes again, he found that there were many strangers around him.

Of course, the closest to him was the smiling Dumbledore.
