315, Hogsmeade and the Secret Passage

"Alright, guys, stop surrounding Professor Trelawney. The professor only teaches you how to predict the future, but the future can be changed, so don't be intimidated. ”

Duten stepped forward, holding his teacup to Professor Trelawney.

"Professor, if you've seen Harry's, look at mine, see what my tea represents."

Professor Trelawney's words were so scary that the students were scared, and if Duten didn't come forward, the end result would be that the students, after being scared to a certain extent, would simply think that Professor Trelawney was a crazy woman. But Duten knew that Professor Trelawney was neither crazy nor stupid, and that she was really capable. It's just that her ability is a bit nerve, when it really takes effect, and when it is her own nonsense, no one can say for sure.

But she does have some prophetic ability, that's for sure, it's in the family. However, how much ability she inherited from her ancestors, it is really hard to say.

Duten had good intentions, she didn't want Professor Trelawney to be seen as crazy, but Professor Trelawney didn't seem to appreciate it, she reluctantly let go of Harry and took Duten's teacup. He glanced down twice, and then handed it to Du Teng casually.

"There is nothing abnormal in your teacup, your future is peaceful, and there will be no crisis in your life."

Listening to her evaluation, Du Teng smiled.

He was now completely certain that Professor Trelawney was definitely not a madman, that she was indeed a soothsayer.

She looked at Du Teng's teacup, but said that Du Teng had no waves in his life, which was simply impossible. Du Teng's life is destined not to be peaceful, and greater waves will come soon, and Du Teng can feel it now. But when Trelawney says this, she shows that she is not talking nonsense. She can't see through it, just because she is not level enough and not capable enough, if she is a madman, or a person who sells fame and fame, she just scared the students in the classroom with a prophecy, and now in order to ensure her sense of mystery and persuasion, even if she makes it up, she will definitely make up something.

And she didn't.

And there is another problem, which she herself has not noticed, she said that Du Teng did not have any crisis, which logically does not make sense. Even if Du Teng is a native of this world, it is impossible that he will not encounter any crises in his life. You know, the Dark Lord will soon be revived, which is something anyone with a discerning eye can see, and the resurrection of the Dark Lord will plunge the entire British wizarding world into flames. With the exception of a handful of wizards who are too old to be worthless, no one in the wizarding world is immune.

So it was the weirdest thing to say that there was no danger in his future, but Professor Trelawney was now so preoccupied with Harry's mind that he didn't care about that.

However, Du Teng made such a stubble, and the atmosphere in the teachers was much calmer, and the fear in the hearts of the students was much less than just now, and many students with pale faces also returned to normal.

Professor Trelawney then didn't continue to hold on to Harry, but began to check on the other students, several of whom seemed to be quite talented, and even received praise from Professor Trelawney.

……

At the Defense Against the Dark Arts merchants, Lupin finally began to teach the students how to overcome their fears.

This is indeed a good start, Lupin is still very responsible as a teacher, he will teach students step by step, just better, than the previous two professors.

Harry had finally met a teacher he really liked, but he hadn't been in a good mood lately, so much so that he often made small jokes in class.

In the end, the main reason for this was because of Professor Trelawney's prophecy.

Big Black Dog ......

He had seen the dog, but he hadn't told anyone, but Professor Trelawney had told him. Everyone thought she was crazy, but Harry knew she wasn't.

So, with this state in mind, Harry ushered in his third year of Quidditch competition.

But Harry saw the big dog again in the stormy Quidditch arena - and this time surrounded by hundreds of hungry Dementors...... Harry fell from his broomstick and fell to the ground under a huge mental shock, but Professor Dumbledore saved Harry with the Slow Fall Charm.

In this match, Harry's Gryffindor house suffered a heavy defeat, and his broomstick "Light Wheel 2000" was blown by a storm near the beating willow and shattered. In order to make himself resistant to the effects of the Dementors, Harry asked Remus Lupin for advice on how to repel them, and Professor Lupin promised to teach him the Patronus Charm after the Christmas break.

The day before the holiday, Harry put on his father's invisibility cloak and went to Hogsmeade with Ron and Hermione with the help of the map of the living spot given to him by Fred and George. He had to do this, because he had stabbed Lou Zi during the summer vacation and had not been able to get Uncle Vernon's consent to allow him to go to Hogsmeade. In fact, even if he didn't stab Lou Zi, it is estimated that Aunt Vernon would not help him, so the Living Point map and the invisibility cloak are essential things.

As for the map of the living spots, Duten has been waiting for it for a long time. He wanted to figure out how the prop worked, but as for the prop itself, he didn't really care. After all, this map can only be used in Hogwarts, and without Hogwarts, this map becomes an ornament. But if he understands the principle, he can make a copy of the map he needs.

He was also very much looking forward to Hogsmeade's journey, of course he could get permission, since he came in, his background had already been set, and these things related to the plot would never become a burden to him.

Hogsmeade is the only village in England where all wizards are and there are no Muggles. It is a very unique and beautiful little village full of cottages and shops with roofs specifically covered with thatch. During the holidays, the trees in the village are filled with enchanted candles. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located right next to the Great Lake, which originates from this village; The Hogwarts Express also terminates in the village, where the students' new school year begins. There is a path along the shore of the lake that leads from the station to Hogwarts Castle.

Legend has it that Hogsmeade was built around the same time as Hogwarts, and the man who built it was called Hangis. He was a wizard who had settled here to escape Muggle persecution. Later, more and more shamans came here and together they founded the village.

There are many attractive "attractions" in this small village, and the Hogwarts Express station is undoubtedly one of them.

In addition, there are many special shops, such as the Devis and Bans shop, which is a magic equipment shop that also sells repair tools, which are provided

A variety of magic items and equipment, such as Quidditch match items, anti-demon eyes, memory balls, and more. According to Ron, the store also sells speculums and is one of Duten's must-visit stores.

There is also the Fengya brand wizard clothing store, which is a very famous wizard chain clothing company, with branches in London and Paris, and Du Teng is not very interested in this store.

There is also the Duke of Honey Confectionery, a confectionery shop run by Ambrosius Froome and his wife, which is full of sweet sweets. The Duke of Honey confectionery not only sells a wide range of sweets, but also homemade milk gummies and oversized chocolates. Obviously, the shop is quite popular among Hogwarts students. Duten was also not interested in this, in fact he was not interested in sweets and snacks per se.

The Three Broomsticks Bar, a small bar frequented by Hogwarts students. It's a warm, cozy place to drink a butterbeer, although they also serve lemonade, mulled mead, red wine, and even cherry juice and sparkling water on the rocks and umbrellas.

Jokowi's Magic Joke Shop is a favorite place for Hogwarts students and one of Duten's most anticipated places. It sells jokes and pranks that can make even George and Fred's wildest dreams come true, including "Big Drops", "Burp Candy", "Frog Egg Soap" and "Nose Biting Teacup". In the dark times of the future, Jokowi's magic joke shop was closed and fenced off. Fred and George once visited Hogsmeade and planned to buy Jokowi and transform it into a Weasley Wizarding Joke Shop, although that didn't happen.

In addition to the first time, there are pig's head handles, post offices and other buildings, the village is not big, but it is well equipped, and the most famous of them is undoubtedly the screaming shack. Known as the scariest haunted place in the UK, it has always been a must-see for all Hogwarts students visiting Hogsmeade Village.

There are no ghosts in the Screaming Shack, it is the place where Dumbledore specially prepared for Lupin when he was attending Hogwarts to turn into a werewolf at the full moon and stay away from the students.

The one-day trip to Hogsmeade was one of the happiest days of the term, especially for Year 3 students, who were here for the first time. Du Teng hung out with a few of his classmates from the same college, bought a bunch of small toys, and drank the long-coveted butterbeer.

A cup of boiled beer is poured into a piece of solidified butter. I felt that the butter didn't melt for a long time, and then I touched it gently, and the butter spread out at once, and the rich fragrance suddenly drifted away. After taking a big sip, the bitterness of the beer is completely neutralized by the strong aroma of butter, but it can still suppress the richness of butter with its fragrance, which is indeed good, and it is much more comfortable than simply drinking a glass of beer.

Of course, the weather is not very good now, and if it is a hot summer, it is better to double the cold beer to be the most refreshing.

After playing, there was trouble, and the days were calm again.

Du Teng counted the days, and the third school year came to an end unconsciously.

There were a lot of things going on, such as Ron and Hermione's friendship crisis, and the Ministry of Magic's trial of Hagrid, who was not really a big problem with the trial, and his problem was that he shouldn't have allowed dangerous magical creatures into the classroom. After all, the third-grade students are still a group of children, and they have just begun to come into contact with some simple offensive or defensive spells, and basically there is no combat power.

At this time, it is really not right for them to face such aggressive magical creatures, no matter how docile these creatures are, they are not human after all. There is no such complicated thinking, let alone human reason. If everybody follows Hagrid's teachings, that's fine, but if someone, like Malfoy, deliberately stirs things up, then it's easy for things to get out of hand.

Fortunately, Dumbledore supported Hagrid and saved him from prison, not even a decent punishment. But his beloved Buckbeak, the Hippogriff who attacked Malfoy, was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic. After all, it is not a noble and rare magical creature like a unicorn, the Hippogriff is not rare, the top is rare, and the Malfoy family is working the side, of course the Ministry of Magic will not be soft.

Naturally, the saviors were worried about Hagrid again and wanted to help.

But after all, they are only three poor students, and how strong is they to speak? Seeing that Buckbeak seemed certain to die, they were helpless. So the three of them prepare to griev, but before they can start grieving, Ron is attacked. He was looking for the "culprit" of his friendship crisis with Hermione, the little mouse Spotted, but the moment he found Spotted, Harry's nightmare, the giant black dog, suddenly appeared, tearing Ron into the passage beneath the beating willow.

Harry and Hermione were terrified, and they wanted to go to the rescue, but they couldn't break through the blockade of Beater Willow.

"What to do? Ron is going to die! ”

Hermione shouted nervously.

"Get out of the way."

There was a crackling sound behind him, and Duten's figure quickly appeared behind Harry and Hermione.

Seeing Du Teng, the two of them seemed to see the backbone, let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got out of the way.

Du Teng took a step forward, his wand was raised high, and the beating willow seemed to feel his presence as well, and the long branches were raised high, and then fell heavily on Du Teng's position. This time the shot is real, and if you don't die, you have to be seriously injured. Hermione was ready to scream, and Harry closed his eyes, but at this moment.

"Iron Cover!"

An improved version of the Iron Armor Talisman, an energy shield similar to the Iron Armor Spell appeared above Du Teng's head, blocking the onslaught of the beating willow. The force of the beating willow was extremely great, and it made a loud bang on the protective cover, but the protective shield was very strong and was actually carried down perfectly.

"What are you still doing, let's go!"

Du Teng turned his head slightly and said to the two people behind him, and then walked forward without waiting for them.

The two also woke up and hurriedly followed. Above his head, the crazy beating willow was constantly attacking, but the three people below were walking on the ground with steady steps. Despite the thin, but very sturdy cover, at least there was no danger in this simple journey.

The three of them came to the bottom of the tree smoothly and got into the passage one by one.

"Pick up your wands, it's unknown what will happen ahead, so be careful."

Duten said, walking ahead with his wand in hand, Harry and Hermione following closely behind him. (To be continued.) )
