Time passed day by day, and the Halloween holiday approached in the blink of an eye.

The students at Hogwarts Castle finally had their first trip to Hogsmeade, and with Alan and Eddie signed by their parents, the two of them got up early in the morning and walked together.

Joel yawned and lay on the bed, sending off the two roommates, and he and Haylis agreed to meet at ten o'clock in the morning, which was still early.

Sergei was sitting in his chair and writing a book with a copy of Allen's astronomical charts in his hand, he was not very interested in astronomy, and this kind of astrological work he had always copied was the main thing he had.

"Didn't your father sign it for you?" Joel asked, he was going to pick himself up later, today was his first official date with Haylis, and he wanted to make a good impression.

Sergei shook his head.

"You can go to Hogsmeade yourself," Joel did two sets of sit-ups on the bed, "don't you know about that secret passage?" ”

He and Sergey used it in the first grade.

"No," Sergei hesitated, his hand moving, "I thought it was boring there." ”

At this point, Joel definitely won't go any further.

After a few rounds of warm-ups, Joel felt comfortable, got up to clean up, sat down in a chair and dried his hair with a wand blowing hot air, changed into the sky blue robe he had bought from the Fengya clothing store two days ago, and pulled open the drawer to take out a box that opened to reveal a sapphire brooch - a Christmas gift from Helis in first grade.

Pinning the brooch to his chest and comparing it in the mirror as if nothing was wrong, Joel finally left the bedroom with peace of mind.

As soon as the door closed, Sergei's hand holding the quill suddenly stopped, and the emotion in his eyes was dark and uncertain, and his heart was a little lost.

He was duplicitous, and he obviously wanted to go to Hogsmeade with his companions, but he couldn't bear to disturb them when they happily went to meet their friends or girlfriends.

Sergei shook his head, concentrated, and carefully copied Allen's astrological chart.

In the common room, Joel's eyes were full of amazement the moment he saw Helis.

She was wearing a white robe with a complex pattern of gold trim on the robe, the slightly bulging chest was pinned with the Ravenclaw crown brooch given to her by Joel, and the lower body was a long black skirt, with a pair of white flat heels on her feet, and her delicate ankles were whiter under the long black skirt, and her jet-black and bright hair was pinned at will, revealing a piece of white and crystal pinna.

White skin and bright eyes, even if the face is facing the sky, but it is light and dusty, the color of the clothing is monotonous, but the quality is extraordinary at a glance, and it is expected to be smashed out with gold gallons.

"You're so beautiful today." Joel complimented from the bottom of his heart.

Hayris's heart was pounding, and with just this unpretentious compliment, she felt that the morning's elaborate grooming had not been in vain.

"You're handsome too." Helis smiled with satisfaction when she saw Joel carrying the brooch she had given him.

"Aren't I handsome every day?" Joel feigned dissatisfaction.

"Good, good...... You're handsome every day, but today you're a little more handsome. Haylis pursed her lips and snickered, but she was telling the truth.

Haylis saw that there were still a few junior students sitting in the common room, and they looked at herself and Joel with a little resentment in their eyes, especially the kind of single dog, she was not a person who liked to show off her romance in public, and urged repeatedly, "Let's go quickly, it's not too early." ”

The two made their way to the One-Eyed Witch's Pass on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle, and a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at Duke Honey's candy store.

The store was packed with students, all dressed in regular clothes, and no one noticed the sudden appearance of Joel and Haylis.

"Do you want to buy something?" Joel asked, taking Helis's soft palm.

Helis looked at the newly listed candy in the store, then looked at the long queue in front of the cash register, hesitated and shook her head, "No, these candies can be purchased by mail order, we finally came out for a trip, we have to cherish the time." ”

Joel laughed softly, there were a lot of people in the store, Joel and Haylis were in a half-hugging gesture, and at this time, the warm breath of a smile hit Helis's blown-up cheeks, blowing a burst of redness.

The two of them went out of the candy store, and the students filled the alley, and Joel guessed that half of the income of so many Hogsmeade stores depended on the students in Hogwarts Castle, and their purchasing power was beyond imagination.

It took some time to squeeze through the crowd, and the two turned onto another alley, where there were fewer students, and there were a few teahouses and three broomsticks.

"Would you like some butterbeer?" "I think fresh ones would be better, so I'm a little tired from walking." ”

From the secret passage of Hogwarts Castle all the way down to here scattered for more than half an hour, Joel certainly didn't feel tired when he paid attention to exercise, but a rich woman like Helis couldn't hold it.

Joel hurriedly agreed and took Helis to the bar.

"Huh?" Haylis suddenly stopped and looked at the fork in the road in the other direction, "Is that autumn?" ”

Joel followed his gaze and saw Cedric and Cho walking into a teahouse decorated in pink.

"Lady Paddev's Teahouse......" Joel read the words on the sign.

"Is it the special teahouse for couples?" Helis was a little curious, she gently tugged at Joel's blue robe, and her voice was soft, "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”

Joel looked down and saw her crow-feathered eyelashes fluttering softly, like a brush running over her heart, itchy and numb.

“…… Okay, I'll listen to you. ”

At this moment, Joel even wants to give the whole world to her.

The two walked into the teahouse, which was filled with smoke - from the silverware in the corners around the teahouse, and the space was very cramped, and the teahouse was full of pink lace decorations, tablecloths, napkins...... Even the windows, Joel felt psychologically unwell.

A chubby witch greeted her with a smile on her face, and looked at Joel and Hylis from top to bottom, and knew by looking at the clothes and accessories that they were the two masters who were not short of money.

"Do you like quieter places?" The witch smiled and asked, "We have a single room here, and you are satisfied with the small items inside." ”

Joel looked at Mrs. Padef's appearance, how did she feel like a pimping bustard in later generations?

He turned his head to ask Haylis' opinion.

Helis heard a few senior sisters say that this place is very suitable for falling in love, and originally wanted to experience the ambiguous atmosphere here, seeing that most of the couples are sitting on the card seats in the hall, she shook her head gently.

"No, I think it's fine here."

Madame Paddev hurriedly led the two of them to a corner, where the back of the seat was curved and wrapped, like a giant egg, which was designed to avoid the prying eyes of others.

However, the downside is that the seat is very cramped, and Joel is barely comfortable with his legs apart.

Lady Padiv handed the menu.

Joel handed it directly to Helis and watched as she looked down and frowned at the menu in her hand.

"Can I not order it?" She asked.

Mrs. Padiv's smile became more and more stiff, even if she didn't go to a private room, why didn't she even order refreshments?

She looked at the clothes on the two of them again, and was sure that the gold-trimmed robe on this girl was from a limited edition of the elegant clothing store, which was very popular in France on the other side, and this robe alone could cover a month's profit from her teahouse, and she had been coveting fashion magazines for a long time before she made up her mind to buy it.

"I'm sorry, but we have a ...... for the minimum spend," said Lady Paddev, squeezing out a smile on her wrinkled face.

“…… That's a cup of black tea, a pancake, is it enough? She hesitated for a long time, but couldn't find any refreshments that tasted good.

She didn't want to order a whole set of English refreshments, that would be a bit wasteful, and they would like to go to lunch with three brooms later, and they will definitely not be able to finish so many refreshments.

If she came alone, it would be fine, with Joel by her side, Haylis didn't plan to be extravagant and wasteful, and she wasn't sure if Joel would like this style.

Lady Padef forced a smile and handed the menu to Joel.

"Same as her." Joel didn't look at it, he didn't intend to fill his stomach here.

After Lady Padiv left, Haylis began to observe the decoration of the teahouse.

"Does it match what you imagined a dating mecca to look like?" Joel asked.

Haylis frowned and shook her head, "To be honest, I like quieter and more empty places, it's a bit too crowded here. ”

It was still a little noisy, and Joel could hear the chatter of several couples in front of him, and the sporadic exchange of saliva, and he saw that Helis's face was flushed and about to smoke.

"Why don't we go now?" Joel makes a suggestion.

Haylis shook her head repeatedly, "Let's sit down a little longer." ”

There wasn't much to order, and Lady Padiv quickly brought the refreshments.

Helis took a sip of black tea, then frowned and shook her head slightly, "I don't think this black tea is good." ”

After another bite of the muffin, my brow was about to wring out water.

"What a terrible refreshment," Haylis sighed, "I can't imagine that a couple would pay such an unjust sum for this environment." ”

A cup of black tea and a muffin for one galleon.

According to the purchasing power of the Golden Galleon, this is quite an expensive refreshment.

"Let's just say that the segment is too good," Joel shrugged, "and someone is willing to pay for it and the difference from other teahouses." ”

Haylis realized that what the seniors said was not correct, at least for her, the teahouse was not a dating mecca, and she was almost disgusted to vomit when she looked at the pink lace trims.

After hurriedly finishing the refreshments and paying the money, the two left the teahouse.

Lady Padev lay at the front desk and glanced at the departing Joel and the others, snorted coldly, and secretly cursed the miser in her heart.

However, Joel and Haylis don't plan to come back to this teahouse, which they see as no different from a pit for money.

Arriving at the spacious and bright three-broom bar, Joel felt that his depressed mood was much clearer.

He and Haylis ordered a stew and a few fried items, and two dozen butterbeers.

The proprietress Ms. Rosmerta, who is in her forties, is still in her best place, and she can charm the students with her gestures when mixing accessories at the bar.

"The First Evolution"

The butterbeer here is a must, and according to the Daily Prophet, it's "a taste you won't forget when you travel around the world."

Joel and Haylis usually drink mail-order bottled butterbeer, the taste is a little missing but delicious enough, this is the first time to taste freshly baked butterbeer, compared to bottled drinks, fresh butterbeer is a little less sweet, but mellow and rich, lemon flavor largely neutralizes the sweet taste, and the fine taste is endless.

It was midday and the two were shopping hand in hand like other couples on the street, and Haylis bought a few self-writing quills at a stationery store, albeit a little more expensive, but also saved herself from taking notes.

The two chatted while looking at the dazzling array of goods in the shop window, giggling and laughing all the way, the handsome man and the beautiful woman attracted many students to watch, they knew that Joel and the two were shining in the dueling club, and at this time, looking at the two flirting and scolding at this time, their hearts added a little envy.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was about to set, and the two returned to Duke Honey's candy shop.

When they returned to the hallway on the fourth floor of Hogwarts, there was only a glimmer of sunlight outside the window, and the fiery red sunlight reflected on their faces through the thin clouds.

With a quill in her hand and a pair of gloves from Joel in her pocket, Helis followed Joel towards the tower.

After today, she has to devote herself to endless study, and it is difficult to squeeze out time for a date, and her light steps in white flat heels deliberately step by step on Joel's elongated shadow, she is not bored, but has a silly smile on her face.

"Joel, thank you for being with me this day," she whispered, "I'm so happy. ”

Joel stopped suddenly, and Haylis, who was caught off guard, hit her head on Joel's shoulder, feeling her nose sour and tears coming out.

"What's wrong?" Haylis tugging at Joel's robes.

Joel looked at the scene in front of him, feeling that his blood was frozen into ice, and his heart stopped beating for a moment, and his worst fears still happened.

The Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary.

Two lines of scarlet letters, evenly arranged on the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the end of the corridor, flowed slowly downward like blood.

Under the floor-to-ceiling window lies a cat, skinny and stiff, with eyes as wide as brass bells.

It's Lady Loris, Filch's precious cat.

"It's ...... Petrification Charm? Seeing that Joel didn't reply, Haylis moved out from behind him, and when she saw the sight, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Who did it?" ”

Today is Saturday, and since there are no classes, most of the students will not go through the hallway on the fourth floor, and there are only the two of them in the quiet hallway.

"Who is it? Who murdered my cat! "Filch the cat slave has come to find a place for his cat master.
