Chapter 280: Conflict and Perverse Snape
It is difficult for everyone who comes to Duke Honey to leave empty-handed.
After Kyle and the others bought a large pile of candy, they left Duke Honey with their pockets bulging.
The group continued along the main road and ordered a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks Bar.
Fred and George keep their promise and pay for Kyle......
Although Kyle's main concern is not this, but another thing, Fred and George don't pick up at all, just excuse themselves and say that they are not ready.
Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were also on three broomsticks, chatting happily with Miss Rosmerta.
Professor McGonagall had a small glass of violet water in front of her, and Professor Flitwick had cherry syrup soda with ice and umbrella.
Although they didn't notice Kyle and the others, it was still a bit awkward to be with the professor.
Fred and George kept peeking at Professor McGonagall...... Or maybe they're looking at Ms. Rosmerta.
The barkeeper, who was both of stature and appearance, had a high reputation among the students at Hogwarts.
After a few people hurriedly drank their butterbeer, they returned to the street.
They also went to the Fengya brand wizard clothing store and helped Cho pick out a thick cloak with white fluff trim.
Most of the time, Cho and Connor were choosing, and Kyle and the others were just nodding their heads when they asked.
Cedric wanted to help, but even Fred and George shook their heads when he gave him advice.
Even though Autumn is a Seeker, you can't always recommend a pure gold cloak to her......
Aside from the problem that the color is too eye-catching, the cloak is still an adult model, and Autumn looks like a walking golden snitch when she puts it on.
Since then, Cedric has been deprived of the right to speak, and this decision has been unanimously agreed by everyone.
As they passed by Lady Pardswift's teahouse, they also saw Harris inside through the window...... He was chatting and laughing with a pretty girl with long chestnut hair.
"Oh...... I finally know why Harris came here early in the morning. Cedric whispered.
"Understandable." Kyle laughs: "It's really a lot more important than a three-time captain. ”
Lady Padiff's Teahouse is a date mecca, and almost all young Hogwarts couples come here.
Naturally, the relationship between Harris and that girl goes without saying.
"Oh, I remember......"
At this time, Cho suddenly said, "That's Ravenclaw's prefect, Liv Yasina, who is also a seventh-grade student.
No wonder I feel so familiar, she changed her clothes and tidied up her hair today. ”
They huddled around the window and watched for a while, and Fred and George offered to go in and have a look, pretending to have a chance encounter or something.
But Connor and Cho are adamantly opposed.
"Trust me......" Cho said solemnly, "you go in and make trouble at this time, and when it comes time for a Quidditch match, Harris will definitely use your head as a goalpost."
You think it's your own head is hard, or the ghost fly ball is hard! ”
"Don't worry, there's me." Kyle patted his chest righteously, "I'll always pass him the ball......"
"And me......" Cedric muttered quietly.
"That's still a little harder...... Fred sneered, "Hey, guys, I'm just kidding." ”
"Also, Mr. Diggory, don't forget that you can't speak now......"
George squinted at Cedric, "A Seeker is making a fuss about it, saying that you seem to be able to touch a Quaffle." ”
Cedric pursed his lips and said nothing.
Around noon, the group returned to Hogwarts.
Although there are places to eat in the village, the taste is much worse than that in the castle.
And most importantly, to pay for it......
In the morning, the novelty of "Visiting Day" had almost passed, and after a few people discussed, they simply returned to Hogwarts early.
There were a lot fewer people in the auditorium than usual, and it was exceptionally quiet...... It's just that this quietness is somewhat abnormal.
As soon as Kyle entered, he felt the smell of gunpowder fill the auditorium.
It was Gryffindor and Slytherin, glaring at each other even across the two tables.
"What the hell happened this morning...... Qiu whispered, "I don't think they're going to fight at any moment." ”
"I don't know." Fred shook his head.
"Let's go and inquire."
The two raced to the Gryffindor table and found their good friend Lee Jordan.
Since most of the people had gone to Hogsmeade, there were many empty seats at each long table, and the others didn't care about the problems of the house, so they found a nearby place where no one was around.
After a while, Fred and George returned.
"Oh, we really shouldn't have gone to Hogsmeade!"
Fred said in chagrin, "I can't believe we've missed so many things." ”
"To ...... point," Qiu dissatisfied: "What the hell is going on!" ”
"Our team and Slytherin got into a fight at Quidditch." George explained, "Because of that Malfoy. ”
"That second-year Slytherin?"
"That's right." Fred nodded, "His dad donated seven Halo 2001s to the school and stuffed him into the team. ”
"Galleons are used to solve problems, it's really like their house."
George looked in the direction of Slytherin, and even then, they were still holding the new, shiny Halo 2001 in their hands.
"I've seen that Malfoy's training ......," he muttered, "and he couldn't have made it to the team without those broomsticks." ”
"And then." Cedric asked,
Malfoy said something...... "Very excessive," Fred said, "and then the two sides fought. ”
"You can't believe it......" George laughed suddenly, "our little brother Ron, this time it's so showy, he actually made Malfoy vomit slugs all morning!" ”
Cho and Connor's faces suddenly turned ugly, and it was clear that the news was a little too explosive for them.
Cedric's eyes widened as well.
"We were just as ...... as you were when we first got the news," Fred laughed, "and we were all stunned." ”
"I thought there was another person in the school named Ron......
"I didn't expect it to be our brother!"
"Although he ended up with a similar magic and was sent to the school hospital, this kind of behavior is worthy of recognition."
"We decided to give him some of the candy we bought from Hogsmeade."
Kyle glanced around the Great Hall.
Sure enough, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Malfoy weren't there.
"What about the outcome of this matter, what do the professors say?"
"That's what feels weirdest about us."
George touched his chin and mused, "Lee Jordan told us that it was Professor Snape who handled the matter, and we thought he would punish Gryffindor severely...... Deduct 100 points, and then lock Ron in confinement. ”
"But he didn't." Fred said, "Instead, Malfoy was locked up!" ”
"What?"
The news was so surprising that even Connor couldn't believe it.
"We asked three people, and it was."
Fred whispered, "You say, what's going on with Snape?" ”
"Maybe it's to make up for the mistakes made in the past." Kyle said casually.
"What?" Others somewhat don't understand what this means.
"Nothing." Kyle shook his head, "I'm kidding, you don't have to care. ”
