Chapter 41: Hogsmeade Village (3)

The brick and stone building with the steeple roof, the roof covered with snow, the warm light inside the half-cylindrical window, the aroma of sweet candy in the air, Harry took a deep breath, he looked to the right, and the smell of meat.

They all looked to the right—it was a shop called Sweet Duck, and Anna was willing to bet that it wasn't any ordinary sweet duck, but only half the size of a giant pumpkin, with an advertisement on a small wooden duck-shaped sign that they were more fascinating than unicorns.

Buy! Anna's saliva was dripping.

A few people walked happily on the gravel road with this giant sweet duck, "The meat inside is delicate, the skin is crispy and refreshing, the key is that it is so big that there are only two Xike!" It's a good deal - gah! Anna covered her mouth.

"What's going on—gah!" Harry covered his mouth as well, and he found himself making an uncontrollable duck call at the end of his speech.

"Hahahahaha Ron laughed, laughing and laughing.

Several people laughed together, and there was a rattling of laughter all the way.

"So don't eat indiscriminately," Anna concluded, "but it's still fun!" ”

Ron muttered, "I feel like I've fallen for someone's prank......"

"If there was a candy that made people make all kinds of animal sounds when eaten, would you buy it?" Fred was a little curious.

"Of course," Harry was intrigued, "if you can roar a lion's cry - that's amazing!" ”

"I think it's good," Ron pinched his chin, "but only if it's delicious, of course." ”

Anna nodded, "I'll buy it, it would be better if I could have a cat meow, and I would be able to get revenge when Snow the cat murdered me." ”

George didn't know where to pull out a small notebook and began to write and draw on it.

Walking around a street corner, Harry felt like he was in a fairyland, with the snow on the side of the road, the red masonry, the deep blue sky, everything was so pure and beautiful, and the golden cherubs were sprinkling sugar - Harry squinted, and the sudden death Barbie in front of him hurt his eyes.

"Lady Pardiv's Teahouse!" Anna was very excited, she caught the candy thrown by the little angel, but the candy disappeared when it fell into her hand, it was just a good-looking propaganda magic, and from the window you could see that there were customers sitting here and there, mostly couples, sitting at a small round table decorated with lace and there you and me.

"Uh-" Ron covered Harry's eyes, "Am I mistaken?" They just kissed each other, right? ”

A few people swarmed around the window.

The delicate tea set is high, and there is a hanging teapot on the top of the tea that keeps pouring tea, and Anna's attention is focused on all kinds of cute little cakes, and the decorative dolls on them greet Anna, "It looks delicious." ”

"What's delicious? Mouth? Fred was choked by Anna, and Harry laughed again, he had never laughed so many times in a day! Ron smacked his lips, perhaps wondering if it was delicious.

"Ahem-" Fred struggled to point to a store, "We're here, Jokowi Joke Shop!" ”

Anna looked towards Fred's point, a normal shop full of red-framed windows, with ice picks on the eaves, and some fogged windows, but the room was bustling with activity—

"The dung eggs, the rotten eggs are the most basic - especially the dung eggs, cheap and practical - our favorite, it releases a very smelly gas...... Let's not talk about burp candy...... And the biting teacup," George picked up a not-so-delicate teacup, "looking at the shape, we wondered if anyone would actually drink tea with this thing—"

Until Ron picked up the cup without hesitation. Fred deliberately dangled in front of Ron, and Harry leaned over to look at the teacup with a subtle expression.

"I'm skeptical too—will this soap really work?" Anna picked up a yellow brick the size of her palm, "Frog egg soap?" ”

Ron spread his hands, "It's like a Muggle rubber duck - what's that for?" ”

"Good question." Anna bought a bar of soap for frog eggs and a large pile of dung eggs.

"Wow, heroic lady Anna, why are you buying so many dung eggs?" Fred watched in amazement as Anna put the dung eggs into the blue flower cloth bag, "It seems that we usually have to be careful, but we can't make you angry." ”

"Deal with emergencies," Anna held up a dung egg, Harry pinched his nose and took a half-step back, "You see that it looks very regular, there is no trace of magic at all, and it can emit a huge stench at a critical moment - don't you think it's suitable for use in the Muggle world?" ”

The twins applauded, "Incisive!" ”

Jokowi's joke shop is as clear as it is in his quaint appearance - there is no innovation, nothing new, and while it is still fresh enough for Ron, Anna and Harry, it is certainly not as fresh as the Duke of Honey's candy shop.

It was a house that felt completely decorated with candy, like the candy house in 'Shrek', and Anna guessed that the owner of the shop, Mr. Froome, must be rich-

In the middle of the room are rows of large shelves filled with colourful candies, coconut sorbet in the shape of peach pink ice crystals – 'brighten up your beauty', rain-skidded bubblegum – 'calm the trolls in your head'...... There's also the chocolate section, centred around a giant chocolate fountain with hundreds of chocolates lined up in a wooden bucket of Bibi Beans against the wall, and another wooden bucket near a wooden door that reads 'Zizi Bee Candy'.

The group stayed at Duke Honey for a while, and Anna was torn between pink coconut sorbet and blue autumn plum sorbet, both of which were shiny little cubes in clear glass jars.

"Although I don't really understand why I eat sorbet in winter, I personally think blue looks better...... Roar! Ron had just eaten the pepper boy, and he spewed a small flame as he spoke.

"Wow!" Harry ate the honey candy and found his feet off the ground.

The twins bought a box of Bibi Beans, and George picked up a yellow bean and put it in his mouth, "Lucky! Pumpkin flavor! ”

Anna leaned over and picked up a red one, "Uh-huh," a sweet and sour taste bloomed in her mouth, "Tomato flavor!" ”

Fred picked one up too, the green one, and put it in his mouth - "Tsk, earwax smells." Ron laughed at Fred while spitting fire, and Fred rolled his eyes, "Lie to you, Grass Smell!" ”

Harry looked curious, picked up a green one, he ate it and quickly spit it out, "I guess it's the ......smell of earwax," he shook his head and tried to shake off the taste in his mouth, only to throw Mr. Wheater out, and the yellow furball rolled down the stairs beside it.

Looking at the scene where Harry ran after Mr. Mighty to the basement, Anna suddenly remembered something - it seemed that in the basement of Duke Honey's candy store, there was a secret passage leading to Hogwarts-

Doing something?

[Weasley in distress - Secret Passage: Secret Passage means adventure, adventure is looking forward to the appearance of the melon eater, please explore the secret passage and discover its entrance! Find its exit! Rewards: Memory +20, Reflexes +20, Harry Courage +3]

No, no, no! Going to school to do something before you start school?

Anna didn't hesitate to follow Harry, and the twins followed Ron as he avoided his boss's gaze.

"Hey! What are you doing? Ron lowered his voice.

The twins shrugged in unison.

A few people were crammed into a small basement, surrounded by wooden crates and barrels, and Anna could see Mr. Wittmann eating on the cobwebs in the corner - it seems that the hygiene of the warehouse of the food store in the wizarding world is not very good, and it is not necessary to renovate the warehouse to make so much money - capitalism of all kinds.

George accidentally touched a wooden crate with at least a foot of ash on it, and he looked at Fred - he turned and wiped the ash on Ron.

"An adventure, of course!" Anna rightfully spread her hands, "Duke Honey has such a thriving business, and such a dark basement - shouldn't there be some secrets to be hidden?" "Anna just wants to go to Hogwarts now, and she can't tell everyone that this leads to Hogwarts, so she came up with a strange reason.

"Girl—" Ron complained, stomping the floor tiles under his feet, "what secrets can there be here?" Could it be that there will be some secret passages? ”。

Harry was confused, he just went down to pick up Mr. Mighty and when he looked back, he saw everyone coming with him.

"That tile—" George leaned over with wide eyes, the tile that Ron was stepping on and the gray floor tiles around him looked no different, he squeezed Ron out of the way, crouched down and knocked on it.

Fred was drawn over, "Did I hear me right?" Is it hollow? He reached out and lifted the tiles, and a staircase that stretched down appeared in front of everyone.

Several future Gryffindors looked at each other, "Can anyone come up with a suitable reason to stop us from moving forward?" Ron asked.

There was silence.

"I don't think so," Harry replied with a raised hand.

"Fluorescent flicker!" Anna lit up her wand's head, the intensity of the light almost blinding everyone, and she took off her cloak to cover it, and the light was much more appropriate.

Fred took Anna's wand, "I'm here to find the way!" He walked down the stairs.
