"'Beautiful' misunderstanding?!" Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "You want to go into the women's restroom and see the nature of such an event that you think is beautiful?!" Her face turned red, her cold expression could no longer be maintained, her eyes were a little moist, and she looked at Pei Chen with fear and disgust.

"Hey, you don't have such a picky word!" Pei Chen's expression suddenly became wonderful.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally told Hermione helplessly and with a headache, "Actually, I just want to see a secret passage here, it's not ......what you think," he said, and he let go of his body blocking the doorway, allowing Hermione to take a good look inside the bathroom.

The wooden rooms in the bathrooms were dilapidated and in disrepair, and even the stone pools were peeling off. Like many other rooms at Hogwarts, including the lavish prefect's bathroom, this room was also lit with candles, but the candles were mounted on stands rather than chandeliers, and the room was dimly lit due to the lack of candles.

These pools, which form a row under a large, stained, cracked mirror, have copper faucets. But the dilapidated appearance makes one wonder if they can still drip water normally.

"As you can see, this washroom has been abandoned for a long time, fifty years to be exact, and there is no way that any normal person will come here to go to the toilet again...... Why do you think I'm going to do something dirty when I go inside?! No one in there, okay?! ”

"Deserted, why has it been abandoned for so long?" Hermione was instantly intrigued when she heard that it was the 'secret passage', but when she stood on tiptoe and looked inside, she felt uninterested—because it was the darkest and drenester bathroom she had ever been to. And it's eerie and a little creepy.

"Oh, because a girl was killed here." Pei Chen said lightly. "Honestly, you girls should know best about this kind of weird news, it's the weeping myrtle's bathroom, but she's not here now. How's that, remember? ”

"......" Hermione obviously thought of something, her eyes winced, and she couldn't help but tug at the corner of Pei Chen's clothes and didn't say anything.

"Do you want me to take you in and see that secret passage?" Pei Chen asked with a narrow smile, he thought it was simply too funny, as a wizard who pursued the path of magic, he would be afraid of such a thing? I didn't see her usually afraid of those ghosts!

……

……

"You should know that there are many secrets in Hogwarts Castle, such as secret rooms, such as certain secret passages...... If you really don't understand, ask the Weasley twins, who probably know more about the castle than most professors! ”

Pei Chen led Hermione past the outside of the court, listening to the earth-shattering cheers inside, and said this to the girl.

"Where are we going now?" Hermione asked a little puzzled, but expectantly. It is undeniable that every Gryffindor has an adventurous spirit in its bones. According to Mr. Filch, the administrator, Gryffindor students wandered the castle at night several times more than the students of the other three houses combined.

"It depends on your schedule, we can go to Hogsmeade Village......" Pei Chen had already decided where he was going, and Wen Yan gave a direct answer. You probably don't know yet, do you? If you follow the normal procedure, you will not be able to travel to Hogsmeade on a given Saturday until you are in your third year, after obtaining signed permission from your guardian. “

"Hogsmeade? The name...... I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I don't remember. Hermione didn't care about the so-called normal procedure, after all, she was now out with a professor in the open.

"Of course, I think you've probably seen it in the school library, in the History of Magic, because Hogsmeade is near Hogwarts, a pure wizarding village and the headquarters of the first year of the goblin rebellion in the first year of Mifeld." Although Hermione is the real academic, and Pei Chen is more of an interest stream, the intelligence attribute values of the two sides are not of the same magnitude at all.

This also means that even if Hermione puts more energy into memorizing and reading, under the same amount of reading, even Pei Chen, who is just reading at random, can still defeat her without accident.

Originally, there were other ways to get to the wizarding village, for example, on the fourth floor of the castle, in addition to the forbidden area corridor, the Charms classroom, and the commemorative cup exhibition room, there was also a statue of a one-eyed witch, and there was a secret passage hidden behind the camel of the statue, which was also one of the few secret passages that Pei Chen had personally explored, and found that it was actually a candy shop called Duke Honey in Hogsmeade Village!

But now he's not alone.,But with a little Lori.,So you can only take the big road.,After all, it's impossible for a little Lori to accompany him to drill those stuffy, dirty and dusty secret passages, right?

What Pei Chen didn't know was that if he could communicate with the other professors regularly, he would find that those professors would often go to Hogsmeade for a drink, whether it was brandy or whiskey, and even better if it was butterbeer, as long as it allowed them to rest and relax.

……

……

Human settlements were originally established to be close to water sources, and the best example is the birthplace of civilization, which is generally a large river basin civilization or something, even wizards are no exception in this regard. As long as they're a human race.

The same is true for Hogsmeade, whose village sits upstream of a water source and is the birthplace of a large lake – yes, the one in the school! Giant squid is often spotted, and it is said that the water droplets still inhabit the large lake where the mermaids are still mermaids.

The easiest way for students in Year 3 and above to get to Hogsmeade is to leave the castle and head to the train platform, then go in the other direction, or continue in the direction of the terminal, and they will soon reach their destination.

Because the Hogwarts Express terminus after it exited Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, the small, dimly lit platform was built next to a large lake. A road leads to Hogwarts Castle along the lake, and the opposite direction leads to Hogsmeade Village.

Pei Chen: They are now through Hogsmeade Station.

"Lyle, I think I've broken a lot of school rules by now, I can't believe I'm going to come out with you......" Hermione kept repeating words like this, although she was full of anticipation and excitement at first, but after calming down, she was terrified again when she found out that she had already been to Hogsmeade once in her first year, and was about to be deducted forty or fifty house points.

Pei Chen knew that this was this little girl's behavior of seeking comfort and security, but he didn't get tired of it, comforting her over and over again. He also had a strange bad taste for how interesting it would be to teach this somewhat old-fashioned, rule-minded little girl to be a true Gryffindor—the Weasley twins, for example, who were apparently the ultimate form of the academy's students.

"Discipline Beast Super Evolution ~ No Discipline Beast ......" Thinking of something interesting, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, but it only attracted Hermione's suspicious eyes.

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. 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.

The two entered the village and did not attract much attention, as in addition to the students and professors of nearby Hogwarts who came regularly, there were often some strange outsiders who came here, and the village also served as a wizarding trading market and intelligence trade.

"Well, I've only been here once, but it's a lot of fun...... Well, going to buy some candy? Pei Chen pointed to the Duke of Honey candy store next to him and said, "Well, I'm in for a treat." ”

After buying Lori a lot of sweet candies, as well as homemade milk gummies and oversized chocolates, Pei Chen took Hermione straight to the Three Broomsticks Bar, one of only two bars in Hogsmeade Village, which was more suitable for students.

"A small pub frequented by Hogwarts students. A warm, cozy place to drink butterbeer, although they also serve lemonade, mulled mead, red wine, and even cherry juice and soda on the rocks and umbrellas. Pei Chen found that there were not many people in the bar, a little deserted, and he didn't care, so he directly placed Hermione at a small table in the corner, and sold Hermione the advantages of this bar.

"I have something to do and I'll be back soon, no more than half an hour at most. You can sit here for a while, order some drinks, or talk to Ms. Rosmerta, who likes you best of all. ”

Hermione couldn't help frowning, looking at the person at the counter, who looked very good, and was still charming in her forties, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Where are you going?!" ”

"I'm going to go to the Hogsmeade Bar, just around the corner from Hogsmeade Road, but it's a place where all the people of all religions gather, and it's not for a kid like you." Pei Chen said very frankly, "I bought some things from Tumbledown Alley through Owl Post before, but I didn't have time to go to London again, so I asked them to deliver them here in Hogsmeade Village. ”

"I'm not a child!"

"Ha, Hermione, you don't understand, elementary school students are the best!" Pei Chen said casually something that deserved to be caught in the bureau to pick up soap, "A child like you will always hope that he will grow up quickly, and always emphasize that he is no longer a child." But women who are a little more mature care about their age and want to emphasize to everyone that they are still children......"

The two said a few more words, Pei Chen ordered her a glass of butterbeer, and then rubbed the girl's brown hair, which was finally straightened, before turning around and going out. Hermione watched the cyan back leave with some sullenness, then raised her glass and took a big sip of hatred, but she almost didn't choke.

Just when she was bored, the door of the bar was pushed open again, and the cold wind poured in outside, and she subconsciously followed the voice, but was stunned to see two identical red-haired figures.
