Chapter 40: Hogsmeade Village (2)
"I don't know - but we might be in a little trouble, oh! Weasley products! Fred clung to the steering wheel, because if he didn't, he might be thrown off.
Anna stuck the broom on the car door, and the three people in the back seat clung to the broom to avoid being thrown out, "What happened?" Merlin bless! Ron was yelling.
Anna pulled out her wand and clenched it in her hand, she grabbed the broom with one hand and looked out the window, the scene was constantly flipping.
"Maybe hit a bird, maybe." She saw the windshield wiper shaking, the headlights flashing as if to vent her anger, and the loud roar as if wailing.
"No, I'm going to throw up," Ron said, clutching the car door.
"O galloping Golgong! Baby Ronnie, you have to hold on! George screamed.
Harry didn't know what to say, so he could only hold on to the roof with his hands and comfort Ron to hold on.
"I'm trying! Get it under control! Fred broke out in a cold sweat.
"Fix it!" Anna performed this magic on the Ford, but to her surprise, the car only looked new and the saddles became comfortable, but it did not ease its spin.
It seems that for overly complex magical equipment, the effect of the repair spell will be greatly reduced, and Anna is holding on to the roof of the car, but what about the levitation charm?
"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"
"Uhh
Brothers! We don't know how high up we are - vomiting is a complete mistake!
Fred and George slumped in their seats, "I almost snapped the steering wheel," Fred wiped his sweat from his sleeve, "thanks to Anna's levitation charm - are you all right?" ”
"Okay," Harry should be in the best form, "but Ron might be a little uncomfortable. ”
"I can see that poor Ronnie has thrown up—" George glanced back at him, "- we need to get out of here quickly, or the vomit rain will attract the attention of the Muggles." ”
After a lot of twists and turns, several people felt top-heavy when they got out of the car, Ron was leaning on the street lamp, Harry was patting him on the back, and Anna was determined to learn a medical spell or two.
"This is it", the tattered streets, the kicked down garbage cans, and the occasional rat running by, Anna suspected that the street should be uninhabited, it should be in a more suburban location in London, in front of a dilapidated bungalow, carefully stepping over the hole in the wooden floor, Fred took a key from the corner of the pot.
"What is this place?" Anna followed the twins inside, she looked curiously, the room was full of shabby furniture, "How did you find out that this is the place to go to Hogsmeade?" ”
"Charlie took us here," George lit the fireplace in the living room, "and from here you can use Floo powder to go to a cave outside Hogsmeade, it's strange - there's a fireplace in it!" ”
"Charlie has a classmate who lives in Hogsmeade, and he told Charlie about the fireplace—an easy way to get to London concocted by a few young wizards in their village," Fred said, putting the key back in the pot at the door.
"The old inhabitants of Hogsmeade have always been reluctant to welcome Muggles, and they don't want the young people in the village to be too exposed to the Muggle world - so, Hogsmeade's network of Floo Paths will only connect to a few fixed places, all of which are some wilderness ranges, or just the Ministry ......of Magic," George paused, "Originally, Diagon Alley would have been fine, but because of commercial competition - you know. ”
Fred stood by the fireplace and introduced it, "Now—this humble fireplace in front of us—the only fireplace that goes directly from London to Hogsmeade was secretly built by a certain Hogsmeade boy in order to fall in love with a London Muggle girl—"
"A bridge in love." George didn't know where to pull out a bunch of petals and scatter them on the ground.
"It's... Well... Great, hope they're doing well......" Ron lamented.
"A glorious love," the twins concluded, "but it's time to make it easier for us." ”
One of them grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the fire, "Eternal Star Cave!" ”
"Whew-"
Harry wrapped himself in his flight jackets, and they were standing at the mouth of a cavern, the cold wind pouring in from outside, and the white expanse in front of them.
Anna glanced at the fireplace they had just used, which was very old and had been carved with dense text by its past users, such as one that read: 'My love for you, dear Julia, is like a speck of a poisonous mushroom that will never change' - and was commented below: 'This gentleman... It depends on what kind of poisonous mushroom it is, as far as I know, there is more than one species of poisonous mushroom that disappears when you put it in a crucible, and it seems that your love does not stand the test as much as we thought'.
This person not only commented on such a sentence, but also wrote the same writing, and he almost commented on these emotional literary sentences under other people's messages, criticizing these literary sentences full of feelings, maybe this cave should be renamed 'Eternal Mouth Cannon Cave'.
"The Eternal Star Cave? I didn't know the name of Floo.com's location could be so weird," Ron approached George and Fred, "oh, I almost forgot—the name 'Burrow' was strange enough...... Brothers, lend me a little ...... in your cloak."
George pulled out two cloaks from a small cloth belt, "We did—but we didn't expect you to hide in the trunk, dear little Ronnie—so we only brought two." ”
"Ahem... Or—"
Fred coughed, "I mean—might some small and delicate friend be willing to wear a cloak with me?" He made a suggestion without squinting.
Harry looked at himself and thought he understood what Fred meant, "I could, it's quite thin, but it's too delicate." ”
Fred had to open his cloak with a black face and let Harry come over, George bent over with a smile, and Ron smirked with him.
Anna also smiled and pulled out her wand and pointed at one of the cloaks, "Copy it in pairs!" The cloak turned from one to a heap, and Anna picked up one, "Now the little couple who came out of this fireplace for a tryst is no longer afraid of catching a cold." ”
Dressed in warm cloaks and walking through ankle-deep snow, several men walked out of a path and stepped on a gravel road.
They all jumped up and shook off the snowflakes off their bodies - snowball fights were inevitable from the time the twins kicked a tree and the snow nearly buried Ron in it.
Harry was thrilled, it was his first snowball fight - the kind that came and went. In the past, when it snowed, Dudley and his friends were 'fighting'.
Ron had the most snow on his body, as his snowball hit Anna in the face, "Merlin forbid, Anna the Bear Slayer doesn't need your protection at all!" You saw the levitation charm she just used - I almost thought it was an avalanche! ”
"Don't hit people in the face!" Anna shrugged, "Besides—I apologize sincerely!" ”
Fred nodded approvingly, "I agree." ”
George grinned and ruffled Ron's hair, "I agree, too." ”
Ron rolled his eyes and put his arm around Harry's neck, "I don't know what they're agreeing to......" Harry really thought for a moment, "I agree—" Ron and Harry got into a fight.
After walking along the main road for less than ten minutes, climbing over a small hill, Anna could see a dense crowd of houses not far away, with snow-covered roofs and chimneys glowing white or pink (?). The outer part of the village is a wooden building in the style of a country house, which is scattered and scattered, and the middle of the village is a brick and stone building similar to Diagon Alley, which is very lively, although it is not as good as Diagon Alley, but the sound of chirping can be heard from afar.
The twins jumped in front of them, "Welcome to the only village in England full of wizards, even though the inhabitants are old-fashioned, stiff, toothless smiling, and drunkards - and this is the best place to be—"
"Except for Hogwarts!" The two added.
"The last time they said Diagon Alley was the best!" Ron muttered to Harry.
"When will you stop putting your brother's words on your lips - you'll grow up, Ronnie baby," George dodged Ron's fist, and Fred went over to ruffle his hair.
"Is that castle Hogwarts?" Harry looked at the end of Hogsmeade Village, where the castle was just behind a wall that looked tall from a distance.
"Of course, we'll all go to school there in the future!" Ron was a little scared, "But we'll have to get past the Sorting Level, and I'll hear Charlie say we're going to swim across a big lake with a strange hat and fight the dragon in the woods!" O Merlin's beard! I think I'm sending me to death! ”
"You believe it? Come to think of it, Percy can pass! Fred rolled his eyes, "-he fought with the dragon?" Fred imitated Percy's movements and pretended to straighten his clothes, "Dragon! Sit down! No roaring! Get dressed! ”
The crowd laughed, "You'll know what the Sorting House is all about when we go to school - back to today's point - a day trip to Hogsmeade!" ”
