Over the weekend, a strong wind blew outside Hogwarts Castle, and heavy snow pounded on the windows.

Despite the bad weather, this was the first weekend to be allowed to travel to Hogsmeade this term, so the young wizards of Hogwarts woke up early to get ready for their trip.

At the Ravenclaw student table, Alan put down his utensils and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin: "Luna, aren't you going to Hogsmeade?"

"Don't go, it's too cold outside, and Helena and I joined the choir, and there is an event today~" Luna's light silver eyes looked at the Gryffindor table not far behind Allen, she stood up suddenly, jumped up to Neville and Flleg, who got up and wanted to leave, and patted Neville on the shoulder, "Neville, lend me your toad for a day." ”

For some reason, she often behaves like a child. Hermione put down her fork as well, looking at the trio and ghost who were about to return to the Gryffindor common room to pick up Neville's pets.

"Maybe it's because she's a kid now. Alan shrugged, "According to Muggle research, you know that human behavior is affected by endocrine..."

Hermione still couldn't understand Luna's thoughts, "I still can't believe that someone like her would really want to go to a choir... And brought Helena with me. ”

"Among the little wizards who participate in the choir, Ravenclaw has the largest number of four houses, and this is Ravenclaw..."Allen's body leaned back in his chair, "Also, this time it should be Helena who brought Luna over, she was inspired to sing when she practiced the horror cry of female ghosts during the summer vacation, and the soprano is very suitable for her." ”

When breakfast was over, the hustle and bustle of the castle soon became quiet, and with the skillful Madame Loris II as her helper, Filch, who was standing by the oak gate and holding the cat, had a much shorter time to check the names of the students and to examine them with a detector.

"That explorer looks like it hurts to poke it on my body. Hermione saw some of the little wizards grinning at the slender probes in Filch's hand, "The umbrella needs to improve it." ”

"Don't talk about work on weekends..."Alan took Hermione's hand and walked towards the door, "but don't worry, I suspect it was Filch on purpose..."

Hermione looked at the clasped hands, and now felt that it was a good thing that the Ravenclaws had their own weird hobbies—Hermione had selectively ignored the Auror guards who had been with Alan since they left the castle, and began to approach Hogsmeade.

On the way to Hogsmeade on foot, the wizards were seen hunched over the wind, and after leaving the castle, their exposed parts were quickly frozen to the ground. Except for a few small heirs of wealthy pure-blood families, the magic robes that Eren had customized for them on the students who had taken the ancient magic class came in handy, and with the protection of the thermostatic spell, the wind and snow were more like a pleasure for them - of course, even if the hood was covered, the exposed face was inevitably a little chilly.

Soon after the Auror Guards also began to move, Ron was heard complaining in the distance behind them: "It's been so long, you have carried the ancient magic textbook everywhere, Harry almost slept with it, you have all become Granger recently..."

"I wanted to charge Malfoy back in my next lab class. Harry was a little helpless, he hadn't taken the ancient magic texts, and it was a lot more difficult to learn the magic spell theory and the modern improved charms they usually learned in school.

"We don't have as much free time as you, Ron. You know, the homework in other classes is not small, and he has to practice silent spells and organize Quidditch training..."Ginny gave Ron a blank look, "and we have to catch up on sleep! ”

"Even if I went, I wouldn't have gotten to the point of sleeping with my cuddles!" Ron retorted unconvinced, his bloodshot eyes widened with dark circles, "Last night, I was lying in bed talking to Harry about two Bludgers and my battering bat, but Harry only knew to read the book in his hand, and even told him Oliver??" Wood's transition from a substitute to a regular at Pudmere United doesn't make him turn his gaze back to me..."

Ron's resentful tone and misleading keywords reminded Ginny of the little stories she had read in witch magazines, but knowing that her brother was just a dumbhead, she wouldn't be as vigilant this time as she was last year, and she just couldn't help but start giggling.

Harry looked at his red-haired roommate with embarrassment, "Ron... The next time you speak, you'll have to go through it in your head..."

Ron didn't notice that something was wrong, and the cold outside made him wrap his robes: "I really envy you for having such a constant temperature magic robe, in Madame Morkin's robe store, the robe that casts this magic is very expensive... I knew... I should take an ancient magic class too... There are so many gifts to take. ”

"Hi Filius. A bell-like voice in front of them said. Professor Slughorn, dressed in a thick and ornate fur coat, walked alone in the snow, his hands in the large pockets of his coat, "I'd like to have a drink with you in three broomsticks." ”

Professor Flitvier, the head of the Ravenclaw Academy, who met him head-on, replied loudly with a sharp voice: "Horace, sorry, not today, I actually forgot about the choir training, fortunately Alan reminded me just now..."

Professor Flitwick, who didn't sit for long, shook his cloak and walked quickly and effortlessly through the snow with his calves open.

In the midst of the snowflakes falling bigger and bigger, Harry heard the greetings from the new Potions professor and the Charms professor, remembered Dumbledore's instructions to him, and proposed to his girlfriend and best friend with the same surname, "It's so cold, let's go to the three broomsticks and have a butterbeer first..."

There are not a few young wizards who have this idea in this weather, Alan and Hermione have already entered the three broomsticks bar at this time, and the hot and warm breath is blowing in their faces, they find a corner booth and sit down, and the three Aurors are also very sensible to spread out in the bar to secretly guard themselves instead of pestles around their guards as light bulbs.

"Professor Harris, it's a pleasure to see you again. Lady Rosmerta, who was still charming, took away the waitress Cheryl, who she thought was in a trance, and told her to go and greet the other guests like students, while she herself walked up to Alan and them, and then nodded affectionately to Hermione, "Honey, what do you want to drink?"

"A glass of butterbeer, some ginger ale, and a lemon meringue, thank you. With that, Hermione's attention was drawn to the huge TV on the tavern wall.

"Good morning, Ms. Rosmerta, is there any Gordigan tea? I've been enjoying it a little lately. Alan pulled the hood off his head behind him and brushed his hair to make them meticulous again, "It's been a bit cold lately, so try to bring him some strong ones when you bring him alcohol, such as flame whiskey." ”

"Hmm... It's not on the menu, but I thought I could make you some. Ms. Rosmerta was a little surprised by Allen's choice, knowing that Gordigan Tea is a drink made from the plant Gordigan and tastes very bad. It had a lilac color like beet juice, and it tasted like it was juiced with Bebi beans - though as a tavern patron, it was a strange little to ask for something that Ms. Rosmerta was happy to satisfy, since Gordigan was somewhat similar to a strong-smelling onion when used as a spice, and there were plenty of them in the kitchen with three brooms.

"Alan, when did you start drinking this? Xenophilius?? Mr. Lovegood soaked me once last time and it tasted better than Millisen?? Bird's polyjuice decoction tasted even worse...", Hermione swallowed the discomfort caused by the memory along with the saliva.

“... I also soaked it for me by Xenophilius... When you've drunk it too many times, I think you'll get used to the taste, the three-thumbed Tilden of "The Sprout and Root Show" host?? Toots talked about the benefits on TV. Alan pointed to the wizard TV with his chin, and then remembered the scattered guards just now, "By the way, give my three Auror guards a full breakfast... Uh, put two sets on that beard. ”

"Since the installation of the Wizard TV, the tavern's business has been getting better day by day. Even wizards who have a TV at home like to run around and watch it with other people when there's a Quidditch live. Lady Rosmerta tapped the menu a few times and twisted her curvaceous figure, "Even if I send breakfast, we in England will be able to be so peaceful after the mysterious man returns, thanks to these Aurors." ”

But Hermione didn't seem to hear it, and she tapped her fingers on the table and watched intently at Wizarding TV, which was broadcasting the continued disappearances of Muggles from other countries.

"A lot of people who come here for a drink assume that the Death Eaters must have done it, but let me say that as long as Minister Harris is around, it's nothing to worry about. Mrs. Rosmerta winked at Allen, "Doesn't it mean that they have been squeezed out of England because they have committed crimes abroad?"

At this time, Harry and the others also walked into the three broomsticks.

"Harry, this way!" Seamus?? Finigan saw his roommate come in and waved his hand.

Seamus was supposed to be with Dean in their dorm?? Thomas has always been closer, but Dean's failure to take the Ancient Magic class this year has made Seamus a little less intimate with him, and Harry and his party have a better relationship with Harry, who has been in the League in the practice class.

Dean wasn't the best student, he simply closed his eyes and used his wand to mess around on the class schedule when he was taking a third-year class, he was also lazy in his History of Magic class, he couldn't quickly learn to turn a hedgehog into a needle pad in Transfiguration, he couldn't resist Moody's Imperius curse, and he jumped around the classroom three times on one leg and sang the national anthem in his mouth, he managed to defeat Boggart in his third year, even though his boggart was just a crawling hand- Unlike Neville and Flleg, his talent for spellcasting isn't bad, except that he likes to spend his energy on things like football and the Little Witch and drawing posters for Greenffindor.

Unable to resist Simour's enthusiasm, and having to sit down at his long table, Ginny immediately got up and asked, "What do you want to drink?" ”

"Butterbeer. Ron grinned.

"Me too. Harry also freed his head from his hood, but his eyes looked diagonally to the opposite side, and he saw Pansy. Parkinson appeared not far from him with a tray and a large pile of snacks and drinks on it, and the other party apparently noticed Harry's gaze, she just glared at him coldly, and then walked towards the long table of Draco and the others to ignore him.

"Harry, come along, you need to serve me a drink, Ron, don't come here, I saw Cheryl standing behind the bar. Ginny tugged at Harry, bringing her boyfriend back to her senses and returning her attention to herself, and the two of them walked to the bar.

On the seat, Ron, who stayed behind, took off his thick coat with great difficulty at this time, and sat next to Seamus and stared at the other party's robe, "Your robe is really convenient enough, I have to save pocket money and buy myself a set of thermostats, my mother won't spend money on this for us..."

"Your dad has made a lot of money in recent years, and I heard that some flying car he's been remodeled recently is about to hit the market..."Seamus said dryly to Ron, and then realized that the other party's attention was not on him, "Hmm, Ron, what are you staring at? Mrs. Rosmerta... Aside from her age, she's really beautiful..."

"No, I'm not looking," Ron said, hurriedly looking away from the bar - since he was appeased by the charming proprietress when he had a conflict with the waitress Cheryl at the end of last semester, he couldn't help but sneak his eyes on her every time he came with three brooms, trying to get the other party's attention.

A chatter not far away caused embarrassment to save Ron: "I have an old fellow skiing on Mount Clarkeby. We had a long Norwegian style toboggan ...... that we built ourselves."

Seamus and Ron followed the prestige, only to see Professor Slughorn boasting to his current colleagues in a voice like a bell.

Ron twisted his head, his gaze frozen through the gap in the railings of the stairs.

In the more intimate corner of the booth in the distance, sitting in the same row, Hermione and Alan clasped hands, and the ancient magic professor was lowering his head into his female student's ear, whispering something that made Hermione giggle very unhermionely.

The two men sat fairly close together, knees together, rather affectionately, and Hermione was looking down at her finger-crossed hand on the table, her gaze much softer than usual as a Gryffindor prefect.

This scene made Ron unable to take his eyes off him, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

"Ron, Ron. Seamus elbowed Ron and Ron tilted his head as if he had been burned by fire, and Seamus scoffed, "They're just holding hands... You should look over there, it's kissing the little mouth..."

Seamus grinned and pointed to a hidden corner behind a hanger next to the bar, and Ron's eyes widened as Ginny and Harry, who had said they were going to serve drinks, were hiding there and kissing.

Ron let out a few heavy breaths and pursed his lips in a huff, "I have to go." ”

"What's going on?" asked Seamus, "you can't be serious, can you?"

"That's my sister and my best friend!" Ron leaned forward, his eyes puffing in the direction of Harry and Ginny.

"Of course it's your sister and best friend!But isn't that better?I mean, if I were you, wouldn't Harry be Ginny's best choice compared to everyone else?" Seamus shrugged nonchalantly, "It's time for you to find a girlfriend yourself, I heard from Dean's new girlfriend about Lavender??" Brown seems to have a crush on you, what if Harry and Ginny see you kissing Lavender in the future? Do you want them to go away too?"
