Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 87: Honey Duke Candy Shop

　　 On the morning of Halloween, Harry woke up with everyone and went downstairs to have breakfast together. He was in a terrible mood, but on the surface he had to try his best to act as usual.

　　 "We will bring you many sweets from Duke Honey." Hermione felt very sorry for him.

　　 After all, for most little wizards, Hogsmeade Village is a magical and charming place.

　　 "Yes, take a lot." Ron also agreed.

　　Due to Harry's depression, he and Hermione finally forgot their quarrel about Crookshanks.

　　 "Don't worry about me." Harry wanted to look casual, although he had to suffocate, "See you at the dinner, I wish you all a great time!"

　　 He accompanied them to the front hall, and Filch, the caretaker, stood by the gate, checking everyone with a long list. He looked at everyone's faces suspiciously, guarding against anyone who shouldn't slip out.

　　 "Is stayed, Potter?"

　　 Malfoy looked around and found that Maca was indeed not here, and then yelled at Harry—he was standing in the line with Crabbe and Gore.

　　 "Oh! It's pathetic! Poor Potter--"

　　 Crabbe and Gore also laughed, and all three of them are of the same virtue.

　　 Harry ignored Malfoy and them. He walked up the marble stairs alone, through the corridors where no one was walking, and returned to the Gryffindor Tower.

　　"Password?"

　　 At the entrance of the lounge, the fat lady in the portrait yawned and asked—she just woke up from a nap.

　　 "Auspicious star shines brightly." Harry said listlessly.

　　 At this time, Luna was dragging her sleeves to the Ravenclaw tower.

　　"...Ms. Gray told me there," she said softly while pulling Maca forward, "she said, that's the best way to go to Hogsmeade. ."

　　 "That's pretty good." Maca nodded, letting Luna walk by pulling her sleeve.

　　The bronze door knocker in the Ravenclaw common room still didn't respond to him, just working as usual.

　　 After Luna answered the door knocker's question, the two of them bypassed the bookshelves and tables and chairs in the common room and came to the marble statue of Ravenclaw.

　　 There is a small marble table here, which looks like a protruding part of the base of the statue. On the smooth surface of the marble table, there are dozens of rows of slightly sunken dots, which are really indistinguishable unless you look closely.

　　 Luna drew out her wand and carefully clicked on certain dots.

　　 Suddenly, several straight lines appeared between the dots, which were connected to each other to form a peculiar pattern.

　　 "This should also be some kind of puzzle... It really is Ravenclaw's style." Maca thought.

　　 With the formation of the pattern, Maca immediately felt a slight vibration from under his feet-the marble platform moved away automatically, revealing an old trapdoor underneath.

　　 As Luna said, this secret passage is not as narrow and cramped as the others, it is very spacious. People do not need to bow themselves when walking inside, even Maca and Luna can walk side by side.

　　 After they had walked a short distance, Maca heard a slight vibration again behind him—the marble platform moved back automatically.

The exit of 　　Secret Road is in an abandoned underground warehouse in Hogsmeade Village.

　　 probably because almost no one knows about this secret passage, the underground warehouse outside the exit looks very messy. The crooked shelves around were all covered with thick dust, which made people feel like covering their mouths and nostrils, so as not to be choked by the raised dust.

　　 The two avoided the dirty shelves and stepped on the creaky wooden stairs to a private house above the underground warehouse.

　　 Here is the same as below, not only black, but also dirty. It can be seen that no one has lived here for a long time.

　　 This house is at the end of the avenue in Hogsmeade, next to the back door of the Devis and Bans magic equipment shop. If you walk a few steps further back, it will be the Pig's Head Bar.

　　 Today’s Hogsmeade Village looks wonderful.

　　 Although this place is still covered with snow, and walking on the street is the same chilly, the huge pumpkin lanterns that can be seen everywhere in the snow have dispelled the gloom brought by those dementors for a while.

　　Occasionally, I can see enchanted snowmen. They are waving the dead branches on the snowball in the middle, greeting the wizards passing by.

　　 "Oh, that's my nose, please return it to me—"

　　 When Maca and Luna walked past a snowman, a carrot rolled to Maca's feet.

　　 "Huh?"

　　Maca bent down and picked up the carrot-it just fell in the snow and didn't look dirty at all.

　　 "Thank you," Maca took a bite, crunchy!

　　 While chewing, he vaguely said to the furious snowman, "Oh, it's very fresh...Happy Halloween, Mr. Snowman."

　　 "God--my nose--" The snowman waved its slender arm vigorously and said angrily, "Yes, Happy Halloween, Mr. Robber!"

　　 "Give you a better one." Maca held the carrot in his mouth, reached out and grabbed a cloud of snow from the wooden fence next to him, and pointed at it with his magic wand.

　　 Suddenly, the mass of snow quickly deformed, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a crystal-clear pumpkin-colored carrot.

　　 After the transformation was completed, Maca slipped into the snowman’s nose, but immediately pulled it out the next moment.

　　 "Sorry, it's reversed."

　　 He tossed the translucent "carrot" up and adjusted the direction so that the tip was facing his side, and then inserted it back again.

　　 "Let it flash again," Maca lightly touched the snowman's new nose with a magic wand, "At night, you will become the most eye-catching snowman."

　　 Following Maca’s last point, the Snowman was surprised to find that its nose was like a light bulb, and it began to sparkle with a pumpkin-colored light.

　　 It is like a neon light invented by Muggles, bright and dazzling.

　　 "It's beautiful." Luna looked at the snowman's nose and patted her hands gently.

　　 The snowman tilted his head and said happily; "Oh! Thank you! This is much better than carrots! Thank you..."

　　As the snowman waved his hands frantically, Maca and Luna continued to walk to the Duke Bee Candy Store-the candies there were really good, at least the ones that looked normal were like this.

　　"ding bell"

　　 As a sweet doorbell rang, the fiery atmosphere in the store immediately rushed toward them both.

　　 Honey Duke has always been one of the Hogsmeade shops most popular with little wizards. Every Halloween, here is always crowded with enthusiastic little wizards.

　　 The arrival of Maca and Luna hardly disturbed anyone—it was so lively here.

　　 Most of the little wizards just bought the candy they wanted, so they couldn’t help eating it in the store. From time to time, you will see that some little wizards chewed on sorbet **** and floated up without paying attention; other little wizards probably ate some pepper-flavored candies, and they were spraying them all the time. With thick black smoke.

　　 There is even a little girl with freckles, spraying fire at her friend, and when the flame is about to go out, her friend's face will be completely dark.

　　 "Hahaha..."

　　 They laughed happily to each other, as if it wasn't a big deal.

　　 Here, everyone's mood is clearly written on their faces. Those seemingly naive little jokes made Maca inexplicably touched.

　　 "Maca, what's the matter?" Luna touched Maca's hand and leaned forward to ask.

　　 "Huh? Oh, it's okay..." Maca walked out of the touch, and he shook his head slightly.

　　Perhaps, that subtle touch is not an illusion, but an opportunity-it actually tells Maca that his emotions still exist.

　　 On this basis, using Dumbledore’s story as a reference, trying to crack this test, but it seems that only passive waiting is left.

　　"...Maca?"

　　 Suddenly, a voice came out of the crowd. It was Hermione—she was with Ron, holding a lot of various candies.

　　 "Hermione?" Maca nodded at her, looked at the candy in her arms and said, "Brought Harry?"

　　 "Oh, yes." Hermione said, and subconsciously glanced at Luna next to Maca. "Harry can't come over today. Ron and I will bring him more back... She is ?"

　　"Luna Lovegood~IndoMTL.com~from Ravenclaw College." Ron suddenly answered.

　　Maca looked at Ron and nodded again.

　　 "Yes, this is Luna-my friend." He said, "We met before the first grade started."

　　"Oh, this is great...Hello, I’m Hermione and Hermione Granger."

　　"...Hello."

　　 Luna stared at her, watching Hermione respond.

　　For some reason, the scene seemed a bit awkward.

　　 "Well, can you introduce me to the sweets here? Ron, I remember you are good at this." Maca patted Ron on the arm.

　　 Ron seemed to be interested when he heard this. He said: "Then you must not miss these...Come with me!"

　　Led by Ron, the four rushed into the crowd.

　　 It didn't take long for Maca and Luna to have a lot of candies in their arms. After bidding farewell to Hermione and Ron, they left.

　　 Behind them, Hermione and Ron stood in front of the Honey Duke's door, looking at the backs of Maca and Luna, and watching them leave.

　　 "I heard Fred and George say that Lovegood is often called a "crazy girl" by others. She and Maca often walk together, so they never call her in person." Ron whispered. "But it is said that she is well-known in Ravenclaw."

　　 "Crazy girl?" Hermione showed a puzzled expression.

　　"You have also seen that she always wears weird clothes and often promotes her strange ideas to others... and, in some ways, she seems to be a little divorced from reality, her concept of behavior It’s also weird."

　　 "It's not so nice to say that others!" Hermione accused.

　　 "Oh, yes... but everyone else is talking secretly." Ron argued in a low voice.
