Chapter 65: Hogsmeade's Journey

Buy, buy, buy, they started a shopping spree in Hogsmeade, everything they found useful, Seamus bought them all, biting their noses teacups, laboriously pulling out fireworks or something, the twins had always wanted to buy it before, but because they were shy in their pockets, they could only cut their love, this time Seamus took them to buy it for fun.

After Jokowi's big purchase, they were also a little tired, and Fred proposed to go and sit on three broomsticks, take a break, and warm up with two glasses of butterbeer. They walked into the three broomsticks with large bags and small bags, and found a place to sit casually, because of the bad weather this week, Hogwarts did not allow students to come to Hogsmeade.

So the inside of the three brooms was not as crowded and noisy as usual, but it was always hot and smoky, dispelling the chill from them. George said to the store manager very familiarly, "Three glasses of butterbeer, this treat." ”

After speaking, he also pointed to Seamu, today they have a lot of money, of course they have to hug all the way.

Ms. Rosmerta replied, "A Sico, thank you." ”

"No, I want a glass of redcurrant rum. Seamus stood up and walked over to the counter, where Lady Rosemerta was a symbolic beauty who, despite being nearly forty years old, was able to charm quite a few.

"Can I ask you for something? Can you order some wine for me and put it here, here's the deposit and the list?" Seamus took out a small bag of gold Galleons and a piece of paper and handed it to Ms. Rosmerta.

"No problem at all, that's what happens with three brooms. She replied with a smile.

Unlike Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade's main source of customers is Hogwarts' young wizards, so most of the items here are geared towards underage wizards. But from time to time, some adult wizards come to Hogsmeade, so Three Brooms often does this kind of purchasing thing.

"Would you like a drink?" said Seamus, turning to the twins, "I drank too much butterbeer yesterday and wanted to change the flavor today." ”

"No problem, I've never drunk redcurrant rum yet. They readily agreed, anyway, someone was in for a treat, and what to drink was not to drink.

There is no law in the wizarding world that does not allow minors to drink alcohol, butterbeer is to melt butter and brown sugar in a pot, then pour in the beer, boil until warm, and pour it into a cup with a certain amount of cream. Of course, if you buy the whole bottle, you will need to add the cream yourself.

Most of the alcohol in the butterbeer evaporates in the pot, and no one can get drunk except the house-elves, but it is undeniable that it does contain alcohol. Ms. Rosmerta brought the wine, which, unlike the brown sugar flavor of the butterbeer, was sour, fruity, and appetizing.

So Seamus ordered some more snacks and spent their tea time here, during which there were wizards coming in one after another, and most of them were drinking their own wine.

The three brooms were always filled with smoke, which seemed to be the work of some kind of magic, and perhaps that was why it was always hot. After eating and drinking, they prepared to return to Hogwarts, and came out of the three broomsticks, and the cold wind blew in their faces and burrowed into their collars.

Back at Hogwarts through Duke Honey, it was already a little dark, and it took four hours to go back and forth, and they were actually in Hogsmeade for less than two hours. After a long journey, they came to the auditorium, which was already full of food, and they took the opportunity to sit down and eat a little to make up for the consumption they had just made.

The passage was really long, and Seamus used a little method to record the length of the passage, which was about eight miles long, much longer than the distance from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade.

It seems that this secret passage may not lead to Hogsmeade in the first place, but it was only later transformed by people to become what it is now.

......

It was very cold at Hogwarts in November, the peaks surrounding the school turned silvery white, and the surface of the Black Lagoon was frozen as steel. Every morning, the whole school was covered with a thick layer of snow, and everyone changed into thick clothes, Hagrid put on a mole fur coat and beaver leather boots.

Despite the freezing weather, Harry never stopped training, as this weekend was their first Quidditch match. Gryffindor's first opponent was Slytherin, which was also their strongest opponent, and the previous year's champions were mostly between the two of them.

Quidditch matches are played on a points-based basis, with each house playing a match against the other three houses, with the winner determined by wins and goal difference. If someone gets three wins, they become champions, win the Quidditch Cup, and add 150 points to the final House Cup.

However, if two teams win two games each, then their winning margin will be based on their winning margin. Gryffindor hadn't won a Quidditch Cup in seven years, the previous seven years had been won by Slytherin, and this time with Harry on board, and all the latest Halo 2000s, they were poised to win the eventual title.

The light rain that had been pouring down the other day had cleared, and there were no dark clouds in the sky, but the winter sun was always so soft and weak that it didn't bring warmth. Fortunately, Hogwarts is still quite warm inside, with the help of elves, and the temperature in all parts of the castle is not too low.

Seamus has also given up his morning exercise these days, and although the grass next to the Black Lake is still lush and green, and you can see the green grass when you peel off the snow, the weather is uncomfortable after all. However, the twins are still full of energy, and in the gap between school and training, they also drag Seamus to skate on the Black Lagoon.

The vast surface of the lake was frozen so strong that the ice was thick enough to carry their weight, and they could be roamed on the Transfiguration skates. Sometimes you can see Grindy Low in the water through the ice, they have slender fingers, but they look more like a jellyfish.

Maybe he lives under the Black Lake, but no one else can see it anyway, Grindillo looks rather casual, with a bare round head and a bunch of tentacles next to it, and a body attached to it, which looks like a combination of a human and an octopus.

Grindy Lowe, a creature that Lupin had brought him into contact with a long time ago, was not very sanity, and anyone who approached it would be attacked, and its slender fingers were powerful, but very easy to break.

On this day, Seamus came out of the dormitory and passed by the common room, where the three of them were arguing. After the last time I went to the school hospital, the relationship between the two of them has improved very well, and it is no longer like before, and they start to quarrel as soon as they meet.

Seeing Seamus coming, Harry hurriedly stopped him, "I know why the trolls appeared last time. ”

Harry then recounted what he had seen this morning, where Hermione had borrowed a copy of Quidditch History for Harry to read, but Snape had deliberately taken the book and confiscated the book, but also deducted 5 points from Gryffindor on the grounds that books in the library were not allowed to be taken out of the school.

When Harry plucked up the courage to go to Snape to get the book back, he accidentally saw a wound in Snape's leg and heard him say, "How can you possibly look at three heads at the same time?"

"The troll that night must have been put in by Snape to take advantage of the chaos and take the things that the three-headed dog was watching. Harry came to his final conclusion, "The wound on his leg must have been bitten by a three-headed dog, and the only thing with three heads was the three-headed dog we saw that day." ”

The three of them were arguing over it, with Harry and Ron insisting that Snape was trying to steal something, but Hermione thought they shouldn't suspect a professor, and they had a disagreement.

"So you have to find out first, if it's Snape, what is it that he's trying to steal?" Seamus didn't want to get involved in it, "so that you can find evidence of who is trying to steal." ”

This is obviously a game deliberately set up by Dumbledore in order to train Harry, and Seamus has been facilitating the relationship between the three of them, and it is precisely because of this.

When the savior trio is formed, Dumbledore may not put his mind on his head, although Dumbledore does not show concern for him now, but the last time he dealt with the trolls, Dumbledore was all in the eyes, maybe he will have a whim to let him help Harry.

So he had to get the "Iron Triangle" in place as soon as possible, so that Harry didn't need any outside help.

Hermione had to join, because Harry and Ron alone might not even be able to analyze the Philosopher's Stone, so let's not talk about the follow-up. There must be one person in the trio who is responsible for thinking. Ron, Harry's first friend since entering the wizarding world, was able to accompany him on his journey, and Hermione was a perfect match.

Seamus tried his best to avoid meeting Voldemort, and now that he knew what he was capable of, he was probably about the same as a good fourth-year wizard, and he didn't want to get involved in these things at all.

The skills of Lv4 on the ability panel are probably equivalent to the excellent fourth-grade level, but because he has more Lv4 skills, he will be a little stronger than ordinary fourth-grade wizards, but the strength is limited.

"Before school started, Hagrid and I went to Gringotts to fetch something, and said that it was a mission given to him by Dumbledore, and that it must be the thing that Snape wanted to steal. Harry was still there explaining to them that while the characters were wrong, the goal was correct.

After hearing what Seamus had just said, they also began to put aside the quarrel, no longer dwelling on whether Snape wanted to steal something, and instead analyzed what Hagrid had taken at that time?

Ignoring Harry's words, Seamus hurriedly beckoned them to dinner, and the matter was left to them to deal with, anyway, under Hagrid's leakage, Hermione could always find clues to analyze.
