Chapter 39: Hogsmeade Village
Anna and Harry stayed at the Burrow until three o'clock in the afternoon, "We're going back, Harry has to get to the museum restroom by four-"
"Oh-" Ron, Ginny, and the twins all exclaimed, and a crowd huddled on the new floor of Ron's room.
Holding a handful of playing cards in his hand, "I finally won!" Ron grumbled.
Anna had just taught them how to fight the landlord, and now that they were in high spirits, Anna closed the "The Adventures of Mad Muggle Martin Miggs" in her hand and placed it on Ron's bedside, "Don't worry, there's always a chance, I've been available lately anyway." ”
"And how about this weekend? Would you like to go to Hogsmeade? Fred excitedly proposed.
George blinked, "It's the only village in England where it's all wizards, and we highly recommend—"
"Jokowi Joke Shop!" The twins spoke in unison.
Ron raised his hand, "I agree!" You never took me there before! ”
Anna nodded, "I can." "She's interested in a teahouse full of pink girlies' hearts.
"I don't know...... I'd love to go......" Harry hesitated, not knowing if he would be able to sneak out of the house when the time came, and Ginny made an appointment to go out with Mrs. Weasley.
"It's okay Harry, I can help you out," Anna threw a 'don't worry' look at Harry, and she asked the twins, "So how do we get to Hogsmeade?" Floo.com? ”
"Yes, but it's not your average Floo network, the inhabitants of Hogsmeade don't go out very often, and they don't like to come into contact with the Muggle world, and they usually use shapeshifters, broomsticks, and trains for their occasional trips - it's worth mentioning that Hogsmeade Village has a train platform, and that's where the Hogwarts Express terminates." George threw out a second of hearts, "Or take the knight's bus—"
"Imp card", Fred played a card, "it's a means of transportation to a troubled wizard, just stand in the middle of the road and stretch out your wand and it will appear and transport people anywhere on land!" ”
"Sounds good," Harry thought as he pinched his chin.
"But it's quite expensive, I remember my dad said that one person is about 11 Sike's fare, which is much more expensive than Floo fans - big ghost brand!" Ron slapped the cards on the ground with a smug smile on his face.
"It's not a problem," George slapped four cards to the ground, "bomb—Fred and I have already figured out what to do!" ”
"Why do you still have bombs?!" Ron screamed.
"We'll get back to you then," Fred looked at George as he looked at Anna and Harry mysteriously, "A surprise!" ”
Harry was excited, and Anna smiled, hoping it wasn't a scare.
The two said goodbye to the Weasleys, returned to Diagon Alley with Floo powder, and hurried to the museum, where Harry returned to the men's restroom from the small window under Anna's cover.
Sitting on the school bus on the way back, listening to the sound of Dudley and a group of fox friends preaching that someone 'goes to the toilet without paper', Harry looked out the window, the sun hit the glass window, reflecting a warm halo, and he could see Anna standing at the door of the museum waving to him, secretly responding that Harry was already looking forward to a weekend trip to Hogsmeade.
In the following week, Anna upgraded her lockpicking skills to level B, after all, Anna was too rough to use and moved too much, not like a 'friend of thieves', but like a 'demolition thug'.
"Anna—" Harry shouted from a second-floor window, standing outside a house that looked almost identical to the Dursleys, "Hey! Anna—"
The window opened, and a furry head popped out of it, and she was sleepy-eyed, "Harry? I'm going to come to your house to pick the lock! ”
The wife next door who was watering the flower stand cast a scrutinizing look, and Anna rubbed her eyes, "How did you escape?" Anna picked up the comb on the table and ruffled her hair.
"Whew-" Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "Speaking of which, I'm so lucky today, Uncle Vernon and they took Dudley to a wedding and left me at Mrs. Feig's house—"
Harry was a little excited at the mention of this, "Mrs. Fig! I know why she helped me last time! She also knows the magic ...... Those magical things! And she also knew about the Weasleys, and when I offered to play with the twins, she quickly said yes! ”
Harry gestured exaggeratedly with his hand, "She also said she could help me cover!" She's so nice! Her cat too! They're rubbing my feet very meekly today, and the smell of cabbage in the house is gone! ”
Anna cleaned up, "That's great, I'll wash up and come down right away!" Anna disappeared from the window and opened the door a few minutes later.
"Anna! Breakfast was on the table, eat and then go play! Lena's voice came from upstairs.
"Okay!"
Anna invited Harry in, "Let's have breakfast together, the twins shouldn't have arrived yet, right?" ”
Harry, who was already familiar with Anna's house, headed upstairs to greet, "Good morning, Lady Lena!" ”
"Harry! Good morning! Breakfast in the kitchen! Be careful when you go out, don't get too far from number 92! Come back early in the evening! ”
Harry whispered to Anna, "You didn't tell Lady Lena that we're going to Hogsmeade today?" ”
Anna took a bite of the sandwich, "I was just saying we were going to a magical street that Mom might have thought was Diagon Alley," she shrugged, looking fearless.
A small yellow ball poked out of Harry's neck and jumped onto Anna's arm, "Oh, Mr. Mighty," Anna pinched it, "fattening." ”
"And, of course, it ate Mr. Spa - that big spider! I can't believe it......"
"Didi-" the car horn sounded from outside Anna's house, "Blue Ford!" It could be that Mr. Arthur came to pick us up. ”
Anna closed the door and ran to the car with Harry, who saw Harry staying by the car, "What about Mr. Arthur?" ”
"Surprise—" The Weasley twins sat in the driver's seat and in the passenger seat, and Harry couldn't tell if it was Fred or George driving, but it didn't matter, it mattered that they were only ten years old.
"Anna, we also brought your broomstick, you forgot to take it last time," Anna saw her light wheel 1500 in the back seat, "Okay, get in the car Harry, if we fall, I can still ride the broomstick out and give you a levitation charm." ”
"Then I'm much more relieved." Harry opened the back door for Anna to get in, he didn't see Ron in the car, "Where's Ron?" Why didn't you see him? ”
"We don't blame us," George in the co-pilot said, "We got up early in the morning so that Mom wouldn't find out that we were using the car, but found that Ron wasn't in the room—"
"Maybe it was dragged away by the goblin revenge, we just cleared the goblin lair yesterday afternoon," Fred added.
"You told Ron to wake up early today?"
"Of course, I remember joking that we were leaving at three in the morning and that it would be better for him to sleep in the car......" George shrugged.
The car suddenly shook, "Hey! Let me out! The sound of urns coming from the trunk, and several people looked at each other.
"Isn't it—" George got out of the car and opened the trunk, a fluffy head popping out of it, and Ron still had saliva marks on his face, "I'm scared to death!" Didn't you say that it's better to sleep in the car? ”
"We thought you were being taken back to the lair by the goblins," George pulled him out of the trunk, and Anna could see through the back window that the expression on the face of the lady next door was getting more and more wrong, and she seemed to want to call the police.
"We need to get out quickly, how are we going to leave?" Harry also saw the indescribable expression on the face of the lady next door.
"Good morning Anna, hey! Harry! Ron squeezed into the car to greet the two, and Anna placed the broom flat on the trio's lap, just enough to put it down.
Fred pushed the handlebar, and the car started to start slowly, "Hold on to the handrail, we're ready to go to the sky—"
"Hey! Fred and so on! The neighbor's wife is still looking at us! We've got to find a secluded place......" Anna suddenly realized the question, "you weren't seen when you came, were you?" ”
George patted his chest, "Merlin bless, I guess not!" ”
Harry clenched his hands into fists and prayed silently, "Hopeless, hopeless......"
"Hey, hurry, hurry! She went inside, Fred quickly turned on the stealth booster! Ron turned around just in time to see the neighbor's wife enter.
Fred pressed a silver button, and Anna felt like she had only one pair of eyes left, she could see everything around her, the streets of Privet Road, but she couldn't see the people in the car with her, but she could touch Harry on the left.
"Huh? Who pinched my face? Harry covered his face and muttered.
"Oops! I can't find the throttle! Fred's voice panicked, "Just kidding—"
Anna felt the chair vibrate violently and the engine roared, "Let's go!" Ron's voice came from the right, and the neat buildings on both sides quickly retreated, and the car gradually rose and pierced into the clouds, a feeling similar to watching a 4D movie in a movie theater.
The city of London is right at everyone's feet, "It's amazing...... Harry looked at Anna, "Huh?" How can I see you? ”
George tapped the silver button, "Weasley-made features, always bringing surprises-" The car was a little funny and I have to say a little funny, and everyone in the car laughed.
"Do you know the way to Hogsmeade?" Ron leaned into the passenger seat, "You all drove there before?" Why don't you take me? ”
"That's because you're always going to ask why I didn't take you," George said.
Ron was unconvinced, "If you took me, I wouldn't have asked!" ”
"Aren't you still asking?" Fred laughed and let the car pass through the lion-shaped cloud and out of the cloud tower again.
"Huh," Ron retracted from his place, looming in the corner, "how long do we have to stay in the car?" ”
"Not far away, we'll have to find a blue-roofed house nearby—isn't it, Ron, you can't let this poor old Ford drive eight or nine hours straight to Hogsmeade, can you?"
"Eight or nine hours?" Harry was surprised, "Hogsmeade Village is so far away?" ”
To be honest, Anna was also curious about how they would get to Hogsmeade Village, Hogsmeade was close to Hogwarts School, and if you took the train to Hogwarts, you would leave at 11 a.m. and arrive in the evening, and it would be dark at 8 o'clock in September in England, so it would take about nine hours to get from King's Cross train station to Hogsmeade Village.
"Almost, but we don't have that much time to spend on the road, which is why we're looking for that house—"
"Boom!" The Ford began to shake violently, and George held on to the armrest to hold on, "What's wrong?!" He shouted.
