Chapter 91: Hogsmeade's Trip

The day before Halloween, the first Hogsmeade weekend of the school year arrived.

For Hogwarts students in Year 3 and above, their task today is to have a good time at Hogsmeade and then come back in the evening for a big meal.

Hogsmeade is the only village in England where all wizards live. Only students from the age of 3 who have the consent of their parents or other guardians are allowed to visit the school on weekends.

Students mainly move around the streets of the village, just like the area around the gate of Zhang Xu's previous university, there are many shops and bars for students on both sides of the street, the only difference between the two is that there are no small hotels for students in Hogsmodri.

Harry's consent form had been sent through the owl two days earlier, and Bill Weasley had two bags of gold coins for Harry's uncle to sign it.

That's why Harry was able to hang out with his friends at the moment in places like Duke Honey, Jokowi's Joke Shop, and Three Broomsticks.

In Duke Honey's candy shop, Zhang Xu will bring the sour pop candy, Bibi multi-flavored beans, bloody lollipops, pot-shaped cakes, chocolate balls, chocolate crucibles, chocolate frogs, cockroach piles, pineapple candied fruit, crumpet super bubble gum, explosive sandwich gummies, nourishing bee candy, butterfat gummy flies, ice mice, jelly slugs, licorice wands, nougat, pepper urchin, mint toad candy, pink coconut sorbet, pumpkin soda, pumpkin pie, lollipop quill, toffee, hairy mints, Creamy gummies and so on were packed in several servings.

One of these candies was given to the staff member at the embassy who helped him record the AC Milan game, and the others were given to relatives and friends back home.

Customers like Zhang Xu, who had scanned the entire catalog, were so pleased with the owner of Duke Honey, Mr. Ambrosius Froome, that they not only discounted the checkout, but also gave him a VIP card, and finally sent him out of the door in person.

The Hogsmeade Post Office is an owl post office located in the village of Hogsmeade. There are two or three hundred owls of different species, ranging from the Great Grey Owl to the Horned Owl, all squatting on shelves marked with color codes. The color codes are based on the speed at which they are delivered.

When Zhang Xu took out all the large and small bags he bought from Duke Honey and said that he was going to send them to London, the post office staff were stunned.

The post office staff said that if the candy was sent separately, at least half of the owls would have to be sent out at the post office, and there would have to be an owl storm at the place where the goods were received.

Zhang Xu also realized this problem at this time, if there was an owl storm in the embassy, and then it rained candy, the embassy would have to call the "Approaching Science" program team, and he himself would definitely be arrested by the ambassador for training.

In the end, the staff of the post office found several large boxes and asked Zhang Xu to put the candy into it separately, and several owls pulled a box to deliver it at the same time.

Walking out of the post office, Zhang Xu, who was busy with today's main task, began to wander around the village.

Hogsmeade is located high in the mountains, covered in snow all year round, and Zhang Xu walks through the streets and finds himself in a fairy tale.

When Zhang Xu walked to the edge of the village, he suddenly heard a "bang" in the distance, turned his head, and found that a big black dog had overturned a family's garbage can, seemingly looking for food. Along the way, several families have already overturned their trash cans in front of their houses.

As a dog lover (familiar) person, seeing the existence of the first place in "one black, two yellow and three flowers", Zhang Xu naturally has some ideas.

Just when Zhang Xu was thinking about whether it was better to braise or crispy, a spiritual light crossed his mind, and he suddenly remembered that this product can't be eaten.

Just as Zhang Xu was thinking about what to do next, the door of the house opened.

Looking at the people who came out of this house, Zhang Xu and the black dog were stunned at the same time.

Madam Pomfrey, dressed in a nurse's outfit and holding a large plate full of sausages, walked up to the black dog, as she had done at school.

Madam Pomfrey placed the plate in front of the black dog, then stroked the dog's head and smiled silently, as if encouraging the black dog to eat the plate of sausages with her eyes.

At first, the black dog resisted, but looking at the gentle smile on Madam Pomfrey's face, at the fragrant sausages on the plate, and at the feeling of his empty stomach, the black dog lowered his head.

I only heard the black dog "whoosh~" twice, then lowered his head and ate the sausage on the plate in a big gulp.

Seeing that the black dog was eating happily, Madam Pomfrey used her magic to restore the trash can that the black dog had just overturned, and all the garbage scattered on the ground was returned to the trash can.

When the black dog finished eating the sausage, Madam Pomfrey continued to stroke the dog's head, telling it that he would come to her when he was hungry.

After the black dog "whined" twice, he turned his head and ran away.

Only then did Zhang Xu walk over and greet Madam Pomfrey.

"Hello, Madam Pomfrey."

"Hello, Zhang. Would you like to come in and sit for a while? Madam Pomfrey said to Zhang Xu.

After agreeing to Madam Pomfrey, Zhang Xu and Madam Pomfrey walked into the house together.

This house is where Hogwarts treats Squibs externally, and Squibs come in every weekend with appointments.

Because many Squibs were afraid that they would be seen by too many people, Hogwarts chose to treat them in a house on the edge of Hogsmeade Village.

Madam Pomfrey would come here on weekends to treat the Squibs, and there would be a few senior students here to help. It's just that today is the Halloween holiday, and there are no Squib appointments, so Madam Pomfrey came over today to sort out the medical records of the last few patients.

Entering the house, Zhang Xu saw that the first floor was arranged as a reception hall and several rooms, and the second floor was a lounge for Madam Pomfrey and other staff.

In the reception hall, Zhang Xu and Madam Pomfrey chatted for a while about the Squibs who had come to treat them during this time, and then Zhang Xu turned the topic to the black dog just now.

"Just now I was sorting out materials in the office when I heard the sound of the trash can being pushed down outside the door." Madam Pomfrey said, "I thought it was a prank by some student, but when I came out, I saw a big dog looking for something to eat. So I went to the kitchen and got some sausages and went out to eat them. ”

He is a medical worker, full of love.

"Do you know who raised this big dog?" Zhang Xu asked.

"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen this black dog here." Madam Pomfrey said, "But a dozen years ago there was a similar big dog in Hogwarts, and he was often seen near the Forbidden Forest at night. ”

"The residents of Hogsmeade have been talking about it lately"

After chatting a few words, Zhang Xu left, and he still had an appointment.
