Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1075: Friendship and love

? Hogsmeade Village is still the same.

The not-so-wide road is full of snow on both sides, and it is almost connected to the white snow on the slightly low roof. The pavement itself, because the snow has been cleared with a spell, in addition to being slightly damp, it may even make people feel cleaner than indoors.

Of course, this village has been built for many years after all, no matter how clean it is, it will inevitably give people a feeling of old age.

I remember that some miscellaneous notes about Hogwarts in the library seem to mention that Hogsmeade Village and the school were established at about the same time, and there have been no major changes during these years.

Thinking about it, this place is probably the same as Hogwarts Castle, and it still continues the style of a medieval village a thousand years ago!

At the moment, Maca is walking slowly along the road with Hermione.

"Stop! Give me the chocolate frog!"

"Jimmy, didn't you say that you only need cards! Since you don't plan to eat the chocolate frog, you might as well give it to me! Don't be so stingy..."

"Who said I won't eat it! Don't run if you have the courage! See if I can't kill you!"

On every Hogsmeade Day, the roads in the village will be quite crowded, and even usually accompanied by some small chaos. Maca grabbed Hermione's wrist and pulled her to the side of the road to avoid being hit by the two juniors who were chasing and fleeing.

After the two chased and ran to the other side of the street, Maca looked at their backs and said:

"How do I feel that the students in the past two years have become more and more naughty. I remember that we weren't so noisy on the street!"

As he was talking, he suddenly turned around and smiled.

"Hermione, you say yes!"

Even though Makara pulled her wrist, and she was still trying to make way for others, Hermione's face turned red involuntarily.

However, she seemed to disagree with Maca's words.

"I don't know which troublemakers want to tour the castle at night, not only implicated me in, but also someone specially prepared something to deal with Mrs. Lorice!"

Looking at Hermione pouring her mouth and teasing herself with a smile, Maca shrugged and said:

"Oh! At least that is not ‘specially’ for Mrs. Loris... Well, don’t look at me like that, what I said is true!"

"Who knows?"

Hermione pursed her mouth, then turned around and walked forward, but after carrying her back, she couldn't help but secretly laughed.

Behind her, Maca seemed to have not noticed her secretly smiling, and suddenly recalled:

"Speaking of speaking, time flies so fast! Think about what you just mentioned, as if it just happened yesterday... But if you think about it more carefully, it's already five years ago."

Listening to Maca sighing behind her that time seemed to flow, Hermione nodded.

Isn't it!

Don't say anything else, just look at their little friends, and now they all grow up unknowingly. Short and chubby Neville became a handsome boy, Ginny gradually grew into a well-known beauty in the school, and Maca even became a professor.

In the past six years, many things have happened literally, but when I think about it, it still feels like a snap.

The two were pacing in tandem, recalling bits and pieces over the years, but suddenly they found that they had reached the end of the village.

Standing on the corner of the street, Hermione glanced to her right hand-turning from here, she should be near the Pig’s Head Bar not far away.

"Maca, shall we go see Miss Witt? She should have come to work this afternoon."

"Huh?"

After hearing this, Maca first glanced in the direction of the pig's head bar, but then shook his head.

"Don't all say it's'dating'!" He chuckled lightly. "Although I am a little sorry to Aberforth, I really don't think that dirty bar would be a good place for a date! "

Seeing what he said, Hermione was taken aback for a while, but couldn't help muttering in a small voice:

"I don't care, anyway, I am not dating the environment..."

Maka naturally heard Hermione's words. But he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked up to the left and then went on:

"Let’s go here today—I think, the time after lunch can just be used for a cup of afternoon tea or something, what do you think?"

"Okay?"

Hermione responded casually, turning her head and following his gaze to the other side. But when she realized what was on the street turning right in front of her, her little heart thumped.

The shop on the corner over there is the "literati quill shop" she often goes to, but after turning that corner, there is only one shop in the small street that is related to "afternoon tea" Up.

"Maca, you mean..."

"Yes," Maca said with a hand raised and raised his eyebrows, "Mrs. Pettifu Teahouse—Actually, I didn’t even go to that shop in Hogsmeade Village. You know. Yes, the first person there is really not easy to enter!"

Of course it’s inconvenient to be alone if it’s Paddy Fu.

Everything in that store, from the lace tablecloths to the misty atmosphere, including the exquisite decoration of the entire store, seems to exude the atmosphere of "single dogs not near" at all times.

Whether it is a man and a man, a woman and a man, or a woman and a woman, if you don't hold a small hand, I am afraid you will be embarrassed to pass by her store.

There is no doubt that Mrs. Pattef’s Teahouse is recognized as a holy place for lovers throughout Hogwarts.

Even though this store is not only expensive for students, but the space inside is still a bit cramped. But if boys want to make a serious confession with a girl, they will inevitably choose here as much as possible, even if they borrow money, they must invite their beloved girl to visit.

As for the reason...It is said that the chance of success in confession is much higher than elsewhere?

"Let's go! Let's go over and see!"

"Wait!"

Seeing that Maca pulled out his leg to go there, Hermione first subconsciously followed him for two steps, and then suddenly grabbed him.

"What's the matter?" Maca turned her head and smiled and said, "Relax, just have a cup of tea...I understand."

"No, you listen to me first."

Hermione stubbornly refused to go, and after making Maca stop, she said seriously:

"Maca, I think you can understand the situation between me and Luna. Seriously, I am grateful for Luna to allow me...you know what I'm talking about."

She pursed her mouth, skipped some words that she was not too embarrassed to say, and then continued:

"And, I am even more grateful to her for giving me this opportunity today. So, after you took me to Pattiff this time, I hope you will remember... the next time you will take her to the last time!"

At the end, Hermione thought silently in her heart:

"If Luna hadn’t allowed me to intervene in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to get the opportunity to compete—so, even if she said, “There is no absolute fairness in this world,” I would at least keep a copy for her. 'Relative fairness' is good. Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable!"

Even though Hermione didn't say the following words, Maca could vaguely feel that that was how she thought about it in her heart. Judging from these "underground transactions" between her and Luna, the inner tenderness and kindness of the two girls is really touching.

By now, which one of his Macla McLean likes has long been not the most important thing in the three of them.

Looking at Hermione's shyness, almost full of seriousness, Maca nodded solemnly.

"I see."

"...thank you."

After thanking Maca for her respect for this decision, Hermione grabbed the opponent's hand and walked to the diagonally opposite road.

As you can see from the back, her face is obviously red again.

Feeling the tenderness in her hand, Maca let her pull herself forward, while silently sighing with emotion for these two affections.

Leave aside Luna's thoughts today. Hermione's perseverance between friendship and love is enough to impress him deeply.

And just as Maca's thoughts were flowing, Hermione had dragged him to the gate of Madame Petitfu's teahouse.

The storefronts, which are completely different from the left and right sides, are delicate and bright with a little ambiguity. Just the three colors of pink, red, and white constitute a picture that is not grandiose but full of atmosphere.

Of course, if you have to talk about the shortcomings of this teahouse, it's probably a "vulgar" word.

Compared to the Umbridge’s office that was sent from the Ministry of Magic to Hogwarts, Padif’s decoration is indeed a little more "fresh", but it will still make people feel it after a few more glances. Kind of "greasy panic" feeling.

As Maca took a step forward and opened the door with grilled windows for Hermione, a string of crisp bells rang from the door.

"Please! Miss Granger--"

He stood by the door~IndoMTL.com~ smiled at Hermione, and reached out his hand.

After Hermione pursed her lips and walked in cautiously, he also turned around and stepped into this teahouse that he had only heard of in five or six years.

It's just the first step. A warm and damp sensation suddenly rushed toward his face. Compared to the ice and snow outside, here seems to be a late spring.

After that, he and Hermione immediately smelled the sweet smell in the air here-is this the smell of dessert and coffee? Or the smell of some kind of perfume? It's really hard to tell.

"Oh! It's actually a diluted pearl flower essence..." Maca moved his nose, and then said clearly, "This Madame Petitfu is really willing to pay for it."

Hermione couldn't help but hesitate after hearing it:

"The ingredients of the concoction agent of the ecstasy?"

"Yes!"

Maca nodded slightly.
