Helena has a good sense of hearing.

She took a few steps uneasily.

For the first time, she felt that the pressure of her mother's name was so great.

But Hermione wasn't done yet.

She glanced at Helena warily, then whispered to Harry, "I read in a magic book about ghosts that I heard that some female ghosts would seduce male wizards and absorb their essence to strengthen their souls. ”

It was so empty, so silent.

So much so that Hermione's whispers seemed to have been cast with an echo spell, and they came to the ears of Helena, Zhang Qiu, and Astoria clearly and word for word.

Helena turned around and didn't let anyone see her expression, just her body was shaking.

Zhang Qiu seemed to be laughing.

Astoria asked curiously, "Sister Hermione, what do you mean by absorbing essence?"

Hermione's face turned red, unsure of how to explain it.

Zhang Qiu squatted down, drained the snow from Astoria's head, brushed the messy blonde hair behind her head, twisted her little nose, and smiled softly: "You are still young, you will understand later." ”

"Oh. Astoria nodded understandingly.

But she was thinking in her heart: Sister Hermione, Sister Zhang Qiu will not tell me, I will ask Brother Harry for clarification in the future, he will definitely not hide it from me.

......

After Harry's explanation, Hermione and Zhang Qiu believed that Helena was really the daughter of Ravenclaw, known as the Queen of Wisdom, and it turned out to be an otaku, no wonder.

Hermione's face flushed.

Merlin, what was she talking about?

Zhang Qiu said, "Well, what should we call you? Ms. Gray? or ......"

Helena was also very embarrassed, she said: "Don't use honorifics, just call me Helena, but don't let anyone else know." ”

Zhang Qiu continued to ease the awkward atmosphere, and she said with a smile: "I never knew that the ghost of the school could leave. ”

Harry sneered, "Of course, you don't know this, she has great skills, she ran all the way back to Hogwarts from Albania back then, I really don't know why so many dark wizards on the road didn't refine her, isn't it the basic element of a dark wizard to capture wild ghosts?" ”

Helena didn't choose to remain silent and let Harry insult her.

You must know that she is an angry bag in front of Harry, and she can't fight back or scold.

She glanced at Astoria, who was hiding on Harry's other side, snorted, and said haughtily, "yes, at least I've never seen anyone walk in a row of footprints around them. ”

Harry was embarrassed, he had forgotten that after using invisibility on Astoria just now, walking in the snow would still leave footprints.

There should be another light mantra.

Helena felt so refreshed in her heart, no wonder he always stimulated herself with words.

No, no, Helena, you are a cultivated person, how can you have such an idea.

Forget it, forget it.

......

"Although I don't know a lot about many big events, I still know a lot about my mother and the four of them. Helena said deliberately.

Hermione's disappointed look pierced her heart just now.

Zhang Qiu, Hermione immediately pricked up her ears to listen.

"Slytherin, he likes Aunt Hufflepuff, but Aunt Hufflepuff doesn't like him, because he's always raunchy and sloppy. ”

This sentence ignited Zhang Qiu and Hermione and the soul of gossip.

They're very picky, and they don't give a damn about the usual lace news - sorry to disturb my studies!

But this is the melon of the Big Four, can you not eat it?

"Slytherin confessed countless times, but Aunt Hufflepuff always refused, and then Slytherin became angry......"

Zhang Qiu, Hermione's heart suddenly lifted, could it be that Hufflepuff actually died at the hands of Slytherin, because of love and hate?

Helena seemed to have a hard time speaking, and she hesitated and said, "Later, Slytherin said that he was going to invent a magic that would allow Aunt Hufflepuff to take a bath and keep her from marrying. ”

Hermione: "(??????)"

Zhang Qiu: "(??????)"

Rattle......

A flock of crows flew by in the sky.

Zhang Qiu, Hermione was stunned.

In their minds, the image of Slytherin has always been a symbol of strength, cruelty, and darkness.

But now, it collapsed with a bang.

Harry's cheeks twitched, and he silently twirled a red ring on his finger.

"Original...... The basilisk is really used for voyeurism. ”

"Slytherin, you really know how to play...... It's a pity that Riddle is a melon baby...... Desperately looking for the secret room, wanting to be your successor, but he doesn't even know what the secret room is used for, what a tragedy. ”

......

In this way, they talked all the way to Hogsmeade, which was more than a thousand meters away from Hogwarts.

When she saw Hogsmeade as a whole, Hermione was amazed.

This village covered with thick thatched grass is completely different from the outside world, as if you have come to an elegant and quiet paradise, and have come to a crystal clear fairytale-like world.

The fragrance of pine in the village and the purity of the snow give people a cool and soothing feeling.

Here everything is filtered, everything is sublimated, it becomes pure and rustic.

"It's so beautiful here. Hermione exclaimed.

Harry agreed with her, having used apparitions on the train to come to Hogsmeade when school started.

It's just that at that time, it was just a somewhat special village.

Who would have thought that under the cover of snow and ice, the village would suddenly become so quiet and beautiful.

It's a very popular place, with a long street lined with lots of magic shops.

As a fourth-year student, Zhang Qiu naturally began to introduce the details of Hogsmeade to everyone.

As they walked forward, Zhang Qiu pointed to the store and introduced it to Hermione and Astoria.

"Look at the detached, dilapidated loft a little further to the left, the Screaming Shack, known as 'the scariest haunted place in Britain', but it's always a must-see for all Hogwarts students visiting Hogsmeade. ”

"Many years ago, every time there was a full moon, there would be a strange and terrifying sound. The villagers of Hogsmeade had always thought it was haunted, and although it had been many years since there had been any haunting, the people of the village were reluctant to go near the Screaming Shack. ”

Indeed, in that small building, there are at least dozens of students who are excitedly researching.

"Brother, I'm afraid. "The little girl is most afraid of these ghosts, rumors. Astoria was so frightened that she slipped into Harry's arms.

Harry said, "It's all right, we'll buy this broken house another day and set it on fire, and see if it's haunted by a hammer." ”

Astoria shook her head and said cutely, "In this case, isn't there nowhere for the ghost to go, he is too pitiful." ”

Zhang Qiu smiled and continued: "The one closest to the entrance of the village is the Three Brooms Bar. ”

"It's a small pub that Hogwarts students often visit. It's a warm, cozy place to drink butterbeer. ”

"While they also serve lemonade, mulled mead, red wine, and even cherry juice and soda on the rocks and umbrellas, the most popular is always Butterbeer, which is enjoyed by all ages, and where you can often see the professors of the school. ”

Hermione saw that it was very lively and said, "How about we come here for a heated beer later?"

Zhang Qiu looked at Harry and Hermione strangely, and said meaningfully, "The reason why this shop is so popular is not only because of the drinks, but also because its owner is Lady Rosmerta, a woman who makes all the boys at Hogwarts want to look twice. ”

"That's the main reason why boys love to come to this shop. ”

Hermione immediately looked at Harry to see how Harry would react.

Inside, a curvy woman with a sign of appearance is greeting noisy customers at the bar.
