Towards the end of the evening, the Three Brooms Bar was bustling, and most of the people were coming for Ms. Rosmerta, and Nicks noticed that there were a lot of strangers among the guests.

Lady Rosmerta is still in her prime, and there are so many guests that she no longer delivers food to every table, but wields her wand to cast spells, causing the food to fly over on its own, the used plates to fly back to the back kitchen, and the dirt on the floor to be cleaned up by the broom.

Nyx was noticed by her as soon as he came in, she and Nyx didn't know each other, but the school uniform on Nyx indicated that he was a Hogwarts student.

Miss Rosmerta walked up to the Knicks a few steps and pushed him out, while saying, "Forget it normally, it's okay for you to sneak out, but not recently, Hogsmeade is not safe, it's best to stay in school honestly."

"No problem, ma'am, let's make a deal quickly, we should be back at Hogwarts before dark." The Knicks struggled not to be pushed out the door by her.

Ms. Rosmerta understands that a daring kid like Nicks won't leave without seeing Butterbeer. He muttered, "Another drunkard." Turning around and walking towards the kitchen, he took a few steps and found that Knicks hadn't moved, and beckoned, "Follow me."

Lady Rosmerta came to the kitchen and said, "I don't think you snuck out for a drink, did you?" Without waiting for Nicks to answer, she pointed to a couple of kegs and continued, "Do you have a way to take it? I'm not going to get you to Hogwarts."

"Yes, but that's not enough." Nicks stuffed a couple of kegs into a lady's pouch.

Ms. Rosmerta smiled when she saw the Nyx's lady packet, "I didn't expect you to have a girl's heart. What do you want so much butterbeer for?"

Nicks awkwardly explained, "This was given to me by my mother, and she only has a female model. We have to celebrate, there are so many people, these few barrels are not enough."

Miss Rosmerta thought for a moment, butterbeer should not cause any disaster, at most it would be okay to let the little wizards wet the bed, and give it to him.

"Well, it just so happens that Dumbledore came to book some of them a few days ago, and it's just in the call, you come with me."

The two entered the cellar together, and Lady Rosmerta asked, "Little one, what's your name?"

"Knicks, Knicks Lestrange."

There are several oversized barrels in the cellar, which are as tall as two or three people even in the downed state. There is an inscription on the lid of the barrel, which is so oily that you can barely read a few letters, so that you can understand what kind of wine it is. Half-human tall barrels were piled up in the corner, new and with Butterbeer crooked in ink, presumably prepared for Dumbledore by Miss Rosmerta.

Nicks looked at several oversized barrels and asked, "Miss Rosmerta, I've heard that there's a magic that can keep the wine in the barrel forever, is that true?"

"There is such magic, but it's hard, not just spells, but runes and other things."

"You know this magic?"

"I remember there was one in the Hogwarts library, and you could see it for yourself. Alright, hurry up and pack your wine and go back to school, it's getting dark and the way back won't be safe."

The Knicks loaded a few barrels of butterbeer, paid the bill and left the Three Broom Bar. After going out and looking at the sky, time was running out, he gave up going to Jokowi's magic joke shop, turned around and ran towards the Duke of Honey's candy store, and when he passed by Lady Padiv's teahouse, he heard several witches talking about Moody and stopped him.

Lady Padiv's teahouse is occupied by witches, who sit together and share gossip as if they were having a tea party. At first glance, Nix was a little disappointed, they were all old witches with gray hair and lost teeth, and the only few young witches were over twenty years old, and there were no maidens. The appearance is not as good as the proprietress of the three-broom bar, Ms. Rosmerta.

These witches fit the image of the wicked old witch in the fairy tale, with a pointed witch hat, a rickety body, dry fingers, and a harsh voice.

They complained about Moody, who was guarding the entrance to the village, that Moody's eyes were wrong, that his prosthetic eye could see through their clothes. After listening for a while, the Knicks found that they had only one point of view over and over again, and Moody was disgusted.

The witches' conversation gave Nicks a message, Mu

Di waited at the entrance of the village. If this was the real Moody, the Knicks would be happy and go straight back to school with them.

But this Moody is fake, it was Barty Crouch Jr. who pretended, and the Knicks didn't want to go back with him.

It could have been avoided by going through the secret passage, but in this way, with Barty Crouch Jr.'s cleverness, he must have understood that the Knicks knew a secret passage to Hogsmeade.

So he couldn't go through the secret passage and didn't want to be with Barty Crouch Jr., so he had only one choice, to turn into a bat and fly back.

Barty Crouch Jr., who was guarding the entrance to the village, had been waiting for the Knicks. He uses Moody's equipment to find no trace of Nicks on the way to Hogwarts, and thinks that Nicks is not leaving. I want to go back to Hogwarts with Nyx, chat on the way, and cultivate a relationship. At the school gate, the Knicks were caught by Filch, and then he stepped in to clear the siege and brush up on a wave of goodwill.

Moody's prosthetic eye is a magical artifact that has a lot of abilities that Barty Crouch Jr. can't use proficiently, but the basic skills are still fine. When the Nyx-transformed bat flies by, Barty Crouch Jr. sees it through his prosthetic eye.

It's normal for bats to be seen in the evening, and Hogsmeade has wizards who have seen them just fly away as normal bats. Barty Crouch Jr. knew it was Nicks, and when he saw the bat fly away, he limped towards Hogwarts.

Nicks made his first long flight, with much less physical exertion than he thought, and seeing Hogwarts Castle, he planned to land on the Owl Tower, where he could quickly return to the Gryffindor common room.

But the owls of Hogwarts are not easy to mess with, and when they saw that the bats transformed into Nix wanted to enter the tower, they took off, thinking that Nix rushed over. Nicks was so frightened that he made a 100-8 turn in the sky, turned around and ran, fast enough to pull out the afterimage.

A very peculiar sight appeared over Hogwarts, with countless owls pulling a long line in the air. The little wizards below all looked up in amazement, and some even called their friends to watch this strange phenomenon together.

After the initial panic, Knicks calmed down and noticed that the speed was a little abnormal, but now was not the time to think about speed, he needed to get rid of the flock of owls behind him. The easiest way to do this is to transform on the ground, but he doesn't want to cast Animagus in front of so many people, so he chooses to enter the castle and use the terrain to get rid of the owl flock, and by the way, he can also find a place where no one is around.

As soon as he entered the castle gate, he saw a classic scene.
