Chapter 420: A Chance Encounter at Duke Honey's Shop
Harry, Ron, and Hermione climbed up the stairs one by one.
"Where is this?" Harry patted the dust off his body and looked left and right, it looked like a cellar, surrounded by crates and other wooden boxes with various strips of dates on them.
"Basement! To be exact, we were in the basement of Duke Honey's shop! Ivan explained.
Hermione looked at Harry and reminded her. "Harry, put on your invisibility cloak! Don't let anyone else see you..."
"Wellโ" Harry nodded, slipped on his cloak of invisibility, and disappeared into front of everyone.
Then Ivan quietly led them out of the basement.
Originally, Ron and the others were still very nervous, for fear of being discovered.
After all, they sneaked out of someone else's basement, and if they were caught, it would be over.
But when he actually came out, Ron realized that no one would notice where they came from.
It's so lively, it's packed with seniors from Hogwarts, and there's a lot of laughter and laughter.
Rows of shelves around you are lined with delicious sweets. Large pieces of creamy marzipan, sparkling pink coconut sorbet, honey-colored toffee, and dozens or hundreds of flavors of chocolate are dazzling.
Especially the shelves against the wall, which are placed on them are magic candies with special effects.
For example, the pepper naughty boy who can spew a flame after eating, the explosive sandwich gummies that explode when you bite into it, and the lollipops with a thick bloody flavor...
The sheer variety and novelty made it impossible for Harry and Hermione to take their eyes off the first-time visitors.
Harry had never known that candy could play so many tricks, and looking at the above introduction, he was very excited, and he was ready to buy and taste each one.
Except for Harry of the local tycoon, Hermione and Ron are all struggling to make a choice, they have limited pocket money, and they can only buy a few to try.
Ivan looked at their excited and tangled appearances, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, candy is really attractive to children, even young wizards who can do magic are no exception.
Considering that there was no shortage of time to meet Sirius, Ivan couldn't force them to leave here, so he was happy with them for a while...
"The blood-smelling lollipop feels terrible, and no one but vampires should like this kind of thing... Can the pepper boy really spew a fire after eating it? What does mint ice cream taste like? Hermione picked out a few pieces of candy and hesitated to put back some of the things she wasn't interested in, and looked at Ivan instead to ask for his opinion.
Ivan shook his head, he hadn't eaten anything before, and just as he was thinking about what to say, he felt a tap on the shoulder.
"Do you want to find any more candy that will breathe fire? We've got it here! George and Fred grinned as they came up, holding an unbranded candy in their hands.
"It's our latest research, and it's definitely more fun than the candy here! How about it, do you want to try it? That's free! โ
Seeing the two of them, Ivan felt a little surprised, he didn't expect such a coincidence.
However, for the Weasley brothers' pranks, Candy Ivan has always been insensitive to him, shrugged his shoulders and refused.
"We don't want to be your guinea pigs... You'd better keep it and trick others! โ
"That's a shame! If you want to buy it next time, you will have to charge for it..."George shook his head in disappointment, then glanced at Ivan and the others, and said unexpectedly.
"By the way, what about Harry? Didn't he come with you? Still trapped in a castle? โ
"Oh, what a poor boy, didn't you tell Harry about the secret passage? We see he's been unhappy lately, so you should take him out for a good look! Fred also had an embarrassed expression on his face and sighed.
"Harry is safe at school, you knowโ" Hermione glared at them dissatisfied, and said in a high tone, but soon realized that it might be heard by some fugitive, so she lowered her voice and said word by word. You know, Sirius-Black is still hunting him! โ
"What are you afraid of, isn't there still Ivan, I don't think his magic level is worse than some Aurors, if Blake dares to come and catch him... Hahaha, maybe Ivan can give him another level of Merlin Medal. โ
George said with a grin as he tore open the candy wrapper in his hand and threw it into his mouth.
However, the square candy automatically stopped at George's mouth in horror, and it was suspended in mid-air, slowly moving, and disappearing in front of them little by little...
There was also the sound of "squeak" chewing candy in a place where no one was around...
What the hell?
George was taken aback, and Fred had a look of surprise on his face.
No, ordinary ghosts can't do that.
Hermione and Ron were smiling, of course they knew what was going on.
After swallowing the candy, Harry, who was hiding in the invisibility cloak, quickly felt that his throat was burning as if it had been burned by fire, which was very choking!
Harry threw his head back and sneezed, a stream of hot flames erupting from his mouth, nearly hitting the nearby shelf.
In what seemed to be an empty place, a few coughs soon rang out, followed by Harry's whining voice.
"This thing smells so choking, you should improve it!"
George and Fred listened to a voice coming from nowhere, and took a few steps back in disbelief, until they heard Harry's voice, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
They couldn't understand that Harry was playing tricks on them, but they were even more curious about how Harry had done it.
"Is it a Phantom Charm?! Harry, you've got this in your hands! George immediately thought of the illusion spell and guessed in surprise.
"We've always wanted to learn it, but we haven't mastered this spell yet!" Fred couldn't believe it either.
"No, I don't know such advanced spells, it's just the effect of the Cloak of Invisibility!" Harry lifted the Cloak of Invisibility a little, revealing his face, before putting it back on.
"Cool! That's so convenient! George and Fred sighed that the price of an invisibility cloak was not cheap, and if they had this thing in the first place, it would definitely be much easier to go out and about.
Maybe they can go to places they've always wanted to go but didn't dare to...
Thinking of this, George and Fred had envious looks on their faces.
Hermione, on the other hand, broke the cheerful atmosphere with seriousness and said, "Harry, you shouldn't have done this, if you are seen, it will be over!" โ
"Don't worry, no one looked this way just now, George and Fred won't say it!" Harry shook his head nonchalantly, he didn't think it would be that coincidental.
"Yes, yes, yes! Our mouths are tight! The Weasley brothers made a shut-up gesture in unison, promising never to say anything.
The few people laughed and chatted for a while, George and Fred separated from them, Ron and the others also picked out the candy, because it was inconvenient to show up, Ivan had to take the money instead of Harry to pay the bill.
Immediately after that, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were in high spirits, took Ivan to the Zock Joke Store to buy a lot of interesting prank goods...
After more than two hours of crazy play, Ivan found a place to take them to a place that was said to be interesting.
Harry and the others didn't doubt Ivan's trust at first, but as the road became more and more remote, they sensed that something was wrong...
"Ivan, what are we doing here? It just looks like there's nothing here..."
After walking through a grove and into a long-abandoned house, Hermione finally couldn't help but ask.
Harry and Ron also looked at Ivan suspiciously.
