Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 539: Sock Thief
The first Hogsmeade Day after Voldemort's disappearance has finally arrived. This will mean that all the little wizards can throw away their worries and enjoy their leisurely life.
As expected by Maca and Scrimgeour, the lightning-like pursuit did not give everyone a bad mood, on the contrary, they felt more at ease.
At breakfast today, Professor McGonagall made a rare invitation to Maca, saying that he might have afternoon tea together in the afternoon. Of course Maca is also very happy about this, after all, this time he also has some important things to discuss with Professor McGonagall.
So, before that afternoon tea arrives, it is his free time.
"Luna, where shall we go to see in a while?"
Walking on the path that extends all the way to Hogsmeade Village, bathed in the warm sunshine, you can still hear the chirping of birds in the distance. This can't help but feel that it's like spring is about to come.
Because the area where Hogwarts is located is relatively high in altitude, the temperature is obviously going to rise more slowly than other places. If you want to wait for the snow to melt, it is estimated that it will take a bit later.
"Honey Duke?" Luna said casually, but her eyes were always attracted by the snow-covered bushes on the side of the road, seeming absent-mindedly, "Maca, do you think there will be any rare animals in there? "
"Maybe there will be some sleeping goblins, right?" Maca shrugged, "Of course, where there are goblins, there are usually sables."
"That's not uncommon," Luna tilted her head, "There are quite a few in the Weasley's yard!"
"Yeah! The Weasleys don't clean them very much-just grab them and throw them out, you know." Maca squinted, as if he felt that this kind of life was really pleasant. .
Although he can reach Hogsmeade Village at once with the help of the door key, it is a particularly natural enjoyment to walk around when there is nothing important.
As long as you walk along this path, you can see the lake from afar from time to time. It is winter, and the lake is still blocked by ice. When the ice and snow melt in spring, the beautiful lake will be the most wonderful natural scenery. Even though Maca has been seen countless times, he still can't get tired of it.
The two walked side by side on this path, occasionally chatting a few insignificant gossips, and soon they could see the village in the distance.
Today's Hogsmeade will be filled with crowded little wizards again, and almost every store will usher in another wave of busyness. No, at the beginning, the streets were already overcrowded.
Maca even stood on the street like this, and could faintly hear the duo of Fred and George's laughter against time and life, obviously they had figured out another interesting idea.
Honey Duke Candy Shop is located in the very center of the village. There are several shops to go all the way. Early this morning, Maca always liked Luna because he was going to go. Now he has already missed the first group of people who arrived here. The flow of people on the street also greatly restricted their speed, and swaying among the crowds seemed to follow the flow.
"What happened to that before?"
It is the nature of social creatures to like to join in the fun, whether it is a Muggle or a wizard. Maybe something happened there that caused everyone's curious onlookers-even if they didn't know what was going on inside.
"I remember...that should be the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, right?" Maca is not a person who likes to be crowded with a lot of people, but Luna is not necessarily. , "Want to see it?"
"What?"
Luna's attention is obviously not there. When she heard Maca's words, she turned her head blankly and looked at him suspiciously.
"No, it's nothing...Let's go!" Maca shrugged indifferently, leading her on again.
However, even if you don't touch some things, it always likes to find the door on its own. Maca and Luna only took a few steps. Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd next to them, and then a guy in a black hood sprinted past them and quickly passed through the crowd to the other side of the street. Ran away.
"Apparated? He Apparated! Oh, he's over there—get him! He stole something..."
The noise rang from the crowd behind. Maca had heard it. It was the owner of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store. But, a thief? Stole the clothing store?
Maca glanced in the direction where the thief was escaping. The guy was obviously gone and disappeared in the crowd.
"...What the **** did he steal?" Maca heard another familiar voice.
"Harry?" Luna blinked.
"You will know if you find him!"
"Oh! And Ron—they are always together!" Luna clapped her hands happily.
But Maca didn't care. He was recalling the figure that had passed by just now--to be honest, it looked rather short, so who was the thief?
Moreover, at the moment when Maca and the thief were closest, he sensed a strange wave of magical power. He was convinced of the feeling that he had encountered it before, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
Just as Maca remembered, Luna stretched out a little hand and pulled his sleeve.
"Maca, where shall we go take a look?"
Maca nodded indifferently, then pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in. After passing through a thick wall of people, he finally saw Harry and Ron, and Hermione was here too.
"Hey! Harry, Ron--" Maca greeted them, "What's the matter, that was a thief just now? Hey, stealing clothes while there are too many people?"
"Oh, Maca, are you here?" Ron spread his hands. "Who knows? Hermione is asking the boss! You see, her love to fight for injustices is happening again!"
"This is a good thing, we should learn from her!" Maca said so, but his casual attitude is almost the same as Ron's performance, "Soon we will go to the Honey Duke together?" I’m a treat!"
"Oh! Being a professor is different!" Ron said excitedly, "I have to pick a lot!"
As they were talking, Hermione finally finished talking with the boss, and was turning around and walking over here. If she knew that these boys would take her anger seriously, she wouldn't know when she would be nagging! Both Maca and Ron immediately closed their mouths tacitly.
"...I figured it out, there are so many socks lost in the shop! There are all kinds of socks, and there are even a lot of them that only lost one of them—the boss is going crazy!" Hermione walked happily Coming over, he complained loudly, "That thief is really hateful, I don't know what he is thinking!"
"Perhaps he feels his feet are too cold?" Ron whispered.
"Do you think it's possible?" Hermione glared at him. "The coldest days have passed. Even if he gets cold, he won't be able to put on thick socks soon!"
"Should we go find it?" Harry tugged Ron, who was still trying to speak, and followed Hermione, "Just now he used Apparition once when he was surrounded, but he only moved to In the flow of people on the periphery-I really want to see him running over there."
"No, no need." Although Hermione was filled with righteous indignation, she was still sane enough. "People didn't know where to go...at first they let him escape. Now there are so many people here, thinking It will be very difficult to find him again."
"So, let's go to the Duke of Honey!" Ron urged, "Hermione, didn't you just want to add some ** fudge to your candy can? Maca said, today he Treat yourself!"
"How can it work!" Hermione immediately replied without thinking, then hesitated to look at Maca and said, "Oh, I didn't mean it was bad, but..."
"Don't worry! It's okay!" Maca smiled, "Just buy some sweets, you can choose as much as you like in a while! You can order everything! I suggest you find some new products and try it-Deng Blido has always liked doing this before!"
Although Dumbledore’s funeral has not been long since, it always makes people feel a little distressed to mention it this way, but when everyone sees Maca speaking so easily, they can’t help but relax. Dumbledore has never refused to die. Perhaps the best way to mourn him is to put him in his own memories like Maca happily~IndoMTL.com~ Let's go! "Hermione took the lead to cheer up, and then waved her hand openly, "Having finally waited for such a relaxed and happy Hogsmeade Day, we can't be ruined by a thief!" "
A group of five people slowly moved forward in this slightly crowded crowd, and then squeezed into the overcrowded Honey Duke candy store. It is indeed one of the most popular shops in Hogsmeade Village by little wizards. There are so many people that it is almost like waiting in line.
After a while, everyone walked out happily, each holding a few paper bags containing candies.
"Go find a place to take a break! I'm almost out of it..." Ron felt like he had gone through a war and was so crowded that he was about to lose his strength. "I shouldn't have come here in the first place. Of."
"At this moment, most of the three broomsticks are also crowded with people," Harry suggested. "Let me see, why don't we go to the pig's head bar! There are always few people there..."
"The Butterbeer there is delicious." Luna said in a daze, and she touched the necklace made with the oak stopper of Butterbeer on her neck. "Look! I drink it every time I drink it. Save it!"
"Um...really, really good."
Hermione probably thought Luna was watching what she said, and after hesitating for a while, she gave a subtle expression on her expression. Perhaps it was for fear that Luna would want to ask her what was good, and after she finished speaking, she quickly went to the front.
"Pig's head bar?" Maca thought for a while, "I don't know if Charlotte is there. I heard that after she pretended to work there for a few days last time, she liked that temporary job... Did Aberforth give her a lot of salary?"
Seeing that everyone started to go there, he just thought about it, raising his leg to follow.
