Exit the post office on Central Avenue and turn into a side road with a small bar at the intersection. A tattered wooden sign hung from a rusty stand on the door, on which was painted a severed pig's head, blood seeping through the white cloth that encased it. The boss was a good-looking old man, tall and thin, with long gray hair and beard.

Pei Chen looked at the old man deeply, he always felt that he had seen him somewhere, and he always had a feeling of familiarity.

But the mental fluctuations were so strange that Pei Chen was a little confused.

The first floor is a bar, and the second floor is a hotel, and there is only a small, dark, very dirty room in the bar, which exudes a strong smell of mutton. A few bay windows were covered with a thick layer of dirt, barely allowing the light outside, and a few candles lit on the rough wooden table. At first glance, I thought the ground was compacted mud, but when I stepped on it, I realized that the ground was originally paved with stone and had accumulated dirt for centuries.

The people in the bar all blocked their faces tightly, either wearing hoods or black cloaks, and the cold gaze hidden in them made Pei Chen feel uncomfortable subconsciously.

Finding that someone pushed the door in, the customers of the bar on the first floor all looked at them coldly, their eyes were vague and cruel, and more than a dozen malicious intentions directly fell on Pei Chen's body. Pei Chen sneered and looked back at each other one by one, his eyes were as cold as a blade, and he forced everyone to lower their heads and dare not speak again, so they were much more satisfied.

Then, like a proud emperor, he began to look around like a proud emperor, looking around for the person he was waiting for. However, it seemed that the person he was looking for had not yet arrived, and finally, after inspecting around, Pei Chen's eyes were fixed on the oil painting of the blonde girl on the wall of the living room, and his expression became even more puzzled.

……

……

"Well, I'll come back...... Belch? You two?! How did it end up here? ”

Pei Chen looked at the Weasley twin brothers who appeared in front of him a little stunned, feeling a little confused in his mind, could it be that he remembered the wrong date, today is actually a specific Saturday when students from the third grade and above can come to Hogsmeade Village?

Huh? That's not right! Even if the date is right, what about Quidditch matches?

"Hey, Professor, isn't that a surprise!" The two twins came up directly, "You didn't think we would be here, did you?!" But we didn't expect that you and Hermione would come out together, Professor! Is it coming out of the train station or through the secret tunnel? ”

Seeing that these two troublesome synonyms were about to be hugged, Pei Chen moved slightly, and directly gave birth to an invisible force out of thin air to push out the two boys who came up, and said: "There is only 'surprise' and no 'joy', and don't get so close, especially you, George, I don't like men." ”

The two brothers looked at each other in surprise.

"Professor, can you really tell which of us is Fred? Who is George? “

"It's just that we haven't said who we are."

Pei Chen smiled and looked at the table, Hermione was biting her lip and looking at him angrily, obviously blaming herself for not keeping her word and coming back after so long. He yawned and asked the two of them again, "Did you run out at this time because the game is over?" Who won...... Oh, sorry, I'm confused, you guys are obviously out to buy something to celebrate! ”

Honey bee candy, jelly slugs, sour lollipops, and cockroach dumplings, all sorts of candy products that were clearly the brains of some wizard, in the hands of the two brothers, were bags and bags, along with drinks such as butterbeer, canyon water, and sherry juice soda. Undoubtedly, if it was just by their appetite, they should not have bought so many things at once.

"That's right." George raised the bag in his hand and found that Pei Chen did not intend to pursue them for violating the school rules, and immediately became triolatory, "Our team won, Harry caught the Golden Snitch...... Because he was fighting for the first time, and he was victorious. We thought it was important to celebrate him......"

"That's right, that's it!" Fred nodded solemnly, trying to make this argument more convincing.

"By the way, Professor, what did you buy?" The two noticed a woven bag in Pei Chen's hand, which was round and round, and immediately became curious.

"This ......" Pei Chen also became a little weird, after all, some of the relatively illegal materials he bought that could not be purchased on the normal market had already been put into the storage space, and now the rest of this is- "This is a ...... Dragon Egg! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Chen felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal, so he simply exposed the big egg that was judged to be a [living thing] and couldn't be put into the storage space, and showed it to the three of them. However, he was also very cautious and did not release the dragon eggs directly in this bar.

“WTF？！” For the first time, Hermione and the twin brothers were so heartfelt, they looked at the big black egg, and after a long pause, they spat out the same sentence at the same time.

Pei Chen explained: "The guy I met in the pig's head bar, wearing a black cloak, maybe he didn't make a good living...... He told me that he had something interesting but illegal, and asked me if I would be interested in taking over, so I bought him such a dragon egg. Well, the dragon eggs of the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon! ”

"Professor Lyle, I regret to remind you that this is against the law...... At the Wizards' Congress in 1709, a bill prohibiting dragon breeding had been officially passed, and everyone knew about it. Dragon eggs are forbidden to be sold......" Fred said, but he also looked interested, "So, Professor, how about we find a way to hatch it and take a look?" We've never had a dragon before! ”

"......" Pei Chendeng's eyes widened, and he looked at Fred in surprise, what a human being is really unseemly, such a situation with diametrically opposite meanings can be said naturally as if nothing happened......

"I haven't raised it either!" Hermione said with some annoyance, biting her lower lip, obviously worried, "In fact, more than 90% of wizards have never raised dragons!" Fred! Do you think that's a good note? You want Lyle to be found out and accused of illegally raising dragons in the school's castle?! ”

"Hermione, what's the matter? As long as it's not discovered......"

"George, don't forget how fast dragons grow. Lelele, how fast did the Norwegian Ridgeback grow exactly? ”

"This ......" Pei Chen stared at the bag, feeling the vigorous vitality fluctuations emanating from it, and answered Hermione's question absentmindedly, "From the day it comes out of the shell, it only takes three weeks to grow to the size of Hagrid's hut......"

“……”

“……”

Nima's terrifying growth rate!

Even the Weasley twins were silent at this moment, and even they knew that it was almost impossible for a monster that grew so fast to hide in the castle. The difficulty is as high as Hagrid's need to sneak into the castle without being discovered. That kind of body type is already destined to not be an assassin by nature, do you still think that your stealth skills are god-level?

"Okay, don't think about it so much, I didn't say I was going to hatch it!" Pei Chen said in a relaxed tone, originally he just thought that the dragon egg was very forceful, and many of the coins in his hand were the kind that had no place to use, so he took over this big egg from the hands of that strange foot merchant.

"As long as you don't tell me, I'll use it to research potions, or sell it directly, how about it?" As he spoke, he stood up and clapped his palms, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back first, but until then, as compensation for your cover money, I think your celebration banquet can be held a little more luxuriously!" ”

"Hooray!"

"Oh! It's so good, I've always wanted to go to Jokowi's joke shop to sweep the goods! ”

The twin brothers jumped up happily all of a sudden, obviously preparing to slaughter Pei Chen happily. As for dragon eggs? Sorry, but what is that, why don't we remember?

Pei Chen stretched out his hand to pull Hermione up, and the four of them walked towards the door of the bar together, he asked casually: "By the way, how are you going to go back after you bring so many things, or do you still take the secret passage?" ”

“……”

“……”

With just one sentence, the two brothers were successfully sunk, yes, if you really brought too many things, then how can you go through the secret passage? It was a road built underground, not a road to the sky, and they usually had to walk for ten minutes without anything and wanted to run out. If you bring a large bag with you...... Merlin blessed, I hope that the two of them will be able to successfully return to school before noon tomorrow.

But if you're going to go back openly, please, don't be too sour, isn't this just telling the others that the two of you slipped out of school? They weren't Hermione, and they didn't have a professor to protect them, and I think Filch would be happy to keep them in confinement or have their intestines pulled out.

"Well, it looks like you haven't thought about it." Pei Chen nodded unexpectedly, and then looked at them one by one, "And it doesn't look like you have any space equipment on you, such as the product of the Traceless Stretching Spell or something, right?" ”

"Professor......" The two looked at Pei Chen pitifully with teary eyes, and Hermione couldn't help laughing.

"Well, there are only two kinds of people in this world...... Pei Chen said with a smile, and before he finished speaking, Hermione's eyes lit up, and she quickly excused: "Painful people and happy pigs?" ”

"No, it's people who know binary and people who don't." Pei Chen denied it flatly, and did not admit Hermione's statement at all.

Hermione frowned deeply and pondered for a moment before asking, "Who said this?" What do you mean? ”

Pei Chen ignored her, and just said to the twin brothers, "Let's go shopping now!" I'll get it back for you later! Wait for me in the Gryffindor common room by nine o'clock tonight, and I'll send you there!" ”

"Thank you so much, Professor, can you bring back the things we bought earlier?"

Pei Chen was a little amused, nodded, and then the two of them immediately cheered and swept up the goods in Hogsmeade Village, although at first they said that they were going to knock Pei Chen's bamboo pole, but when they arrived at this time, they were very measured, and they would never really have the intention of slaughtering people.

Soon, about ten minutes later, they handed over everything to Pei Chen, and then left easily without anything.
