Chapter 33: Hogsmeade Village
"Who's in advance?"
After breakfast, the group was standing in front of the entrance to the mirror passage on the fifth floor.
"Needless to ask, of course it's one of the three of you!" Albert said of course, "you've already been in once, so naturally you have experience." ”
"Okay, I'm in first. Fred cautiously descended the stairs, and the other three immediately followed, the mirror returning to its place after the four entered the secret passage.
The passage was a bit crowded, steep in slope, and dark all around, and the four of them slowly descended the stairs.
Albert raised his wand and muttered, "Fluorescent flickering!"
"I hate this cramped, dark place. Lee Jordan whispered.
"Don't complain, keep up. Fred was concentrating on maintaining the glowing charm as he slowly walked down the stairs.
The passage was so narrow that it was hard to even get the two of them sideways, and it was dark all around, and they walked a long way up the stairs. Halfway through, Fred's wand went out several times.
"I think it's time for you to practice the Glowing Charm, it's the most basic spell. Albert poked his wand forward and reminded him.
"I hate it. Fred muttered quietly, trying to get the wand glowing again.
"After this staircase, the front will be wider, Albert will lead the way!" suggested George, who was fed up with stopping every few minutes.
"Okay!"
After walking up the stairs, they came to the gloomy passage, the ground was a little damp, made of hard earth, and there were occasional drops of water on the top of their heads, one drop fell on Albert's face, so that he couldn't help but shiver, and quickly reached out to wipe the water from his face, and continued walking.
Along the way, Albert walked very slowly to avoid accidentally falling himself. None of the others spoke, focusing all their attention on dealing with the uneven ground of the passage.
The four of them stumbled forward, the passage twisting and turning, and it was not known who had dug it.
Having said that, it's a bit strange that they weren't suffocated.
Albert raised his wand above his head and looked over the passage.
"What are you looking at?" Fred asked.
"Bun, there's a vent in the top of your head?"
"Where?" all three looked overhead, but did not find the vent Albert had mentioned.
"Right where we just walked through. ”
After walking for 1 hour and 20 minutes, the passage began to extend upwards, which meant that the exit was already very close, and the four people who were a little gasping for breath began to speed up their pace.
After five minutes, they could all feel the cold wind blowing outside.
The entrance to the secret passage is under a very hidden large stone, and the exit is very narrow, and the fat man may be stuck.
It's still raining outside, and it's not very heavy.
After Albert walked out of the passage, he took out his umbrella and opened it to block the rain overhead.
The three Weasleys hurriedly squeezed over.
"You didn't bring an umbrella. Albert was stunned for a moment.
"Nope. The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Albert used the Copy Charm to conjure up three umbrellas for them.
"You're as reliable as ever. The three of them cheekily praised.
"By the way, this umbrella is so strange?" Lee Jordan looked at the umbrella in his hand curiously, it actually retracted?
"It's a new invention from the Germans a few years ago, and it's convenient and easy to carry. Albert used the Fire and Water Charm on himself to make sure that his clothes and boots would not get wet as he walked through the lush meadows.
"Careful?" he heard George's exclamation, turning his head to see Lee Jordan fall to the ground, drenched all over.
"Are you alright?" Fred hurriedly reached out and pulled the man up.
"It's unlucky, my clothes are soaked. Lee Jordan grumbled quietly.
The twins looked at Albert in unison.
"What do you see me doing in this way, and I did not cause him to fall. "Albert is a little bit inexplicable.
"Have you mastered the Drying Charm?"
"What makes you think I'm doing this kind of family magic?" asked Albert angrily.
"Ahem, we just ask casually, we always think you can do any magic. Fred coughed dryly to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I said, you three, can you get out of here first. The drenched Lee Jordan had a terrible temper, "I hate rain the most, most, the most." ”
They walked through the grass towards the village of Hogsmeade ahead.
Probably because of the rain, the streets of Hogsmeade were deserted, and his teeth were chattering, and Lee Jordan suggested that he go to the three brooms first, and he wanted to warm up with a glass of butterbeer first.
The three of them had no opinion.
They walked down a road, and after a few minutes, they easily found the bar that the three men were talking about.
Well, three brooms hang on the door of this bar and form a triangle.
What makes Albert want to complain is that the pointed triangular roof on the door is actually crooked, should it be said that it is really a house built by a wizard?
Completely ignoring the rules of physics and the universal visual aesthetic.
Of course, there is a sign in front of the bar that reads: Three brooms.
There were very few people in the bar today, and when Albert entered, he only saw a wizard sitting on the counter chatting with the hostess.
There was a roaring fire burning in the fireplace, and Lee Jordan hurriedly walked over, took off his robe and dried it by the fireplace.
"I'm going to order a drink. Albert said as he walked towards the counter, and the twins looked at each other and sat down in the chair across from Lee Jordan.
"Four bottles of butterbeer, lukewarm. Albert said to the bar's hostess.
The wizard seemed upset that his conversation had been interrupted, and turned his head to glare at Albert.
Albert gave him a blank look, ignored the other party, and sat down directly next to the wizard.
"Where's the little ghost?" muttered the wizard quietly, and after being glared at fiercely by the proprietress of the three broomsticks, he obediently shut up.
"Are you Hogwarts students?" said Miss Rosmerta as she looked at the four young wizards who had entered the store in amazement, unable to understand how the four little ones had slipped out of Hogwarts.
"How much?" Albert asked, expressionless.
"8 Sico. "Miss Rosmerta went into the back room and helped them warm butterbeer.
Albert surveyed the bar in his spare time.
Honestly, it's much better than the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
The hall of the bar is very bright, a few tables are neatly arranged, and the hygiene is very clean, there is no strong smell of beer in it, but the furnishings are a bit similar to the medieval tavern in the game in memory.
After waiting for about five minutes, four glasses of butterbeer were placed in front of Albert, and he hurriedly called someone to come and help get them.
"8 Sico. Albert took out eight sicos and placed them on the table, picked up a glass and walked to the table by the fireplace.
There was a strong buttery aroma on the butterbeer, Albert took a sip, it felt a little like a not-so-greasy butter hard candy, it was smooth to drink, there was no alcohol, it was more like a drink.
"How do you feel?" all three of them looked at Albert in unison.
"It's very basic, it's just a drink. Albert looked at the three of them, blinked and said, "It's like you drink Muggle soda drinks, it's not hard to drink, but it's not used to drinking." ”
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh, looking like they would really hear such an evaluation from your side.
