Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 87: Honey Duke Candy Store

On the morning of Halloween, Harry woke up with everyone and went downstairs to have breakfast together. His mood was terrible, but on the surface he had to pretend to be as normal as possible.

"We will bring you a lot of sweets from the Duke of Honey." Hermione felt very sad for him.

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

"Yes, bring a lot," Ron echoed.

Due to Harry's low mood, he and Hermione finally forgot their quarrel about Crook Mountain.

"Don't worry about me." Harry wished he looked casual, although he had to hold his breath, "See you at the dinner, and have fun!"

He accompanied them to the front room, and the caretaker Filch stood by the door, checking everyone with a long list. He looked suspiciously at everyone's face, guarding against anyone who shouldn't go out.

"Be left, Potter?"

Malfoy looked around and found that Maca was indeed not here, and then shouted at Harry-he was standing in the line with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Oh! Pitiful! Poor Potter--"

Crabbe and Gore also laughed, all three were a virtue.

没 Harry ignored Malfoy and he went up the marble stairs alone, walked through the corridor, and returned to the Gryffindor Tower.

"Password?"

At the entrance of the lounge, the fat lady in the portrait asked yawning-she had just woke up from a nap.

"The good star shines," Harry said helplessly.

At this point, Maca was being dragged by Luna's sleeves to Ravenclaw's tower.

…… "... Ms. Gray told me there," she whispered as she pulled Maca forward, "she said, that is the best way to go to Hogsmeade Village."

"That's really good." Maca nodded, letting Luna walk along her sleeves.

The bronze door knocker in the Ravenclaw common room still did not respond to him, just working as usual.

After Luna answered the question from the knocker, they bypassed the bookshelves and tables and chairs in the common room and came to the back of the marble statue of Ravenclaw.

有 Here is a small marble stand, which looks like a protruding part of the base of the statue. There are more than a dozen rows of slightly sunken dots on the smooth countertop of the marble table.

娜 Luna pulled out her wand and carefully positioned on a few dots.

Suddenly, a few straight lines appeared between those dots, connected to each other, forming a strange pattern.

"This should also be some kind of riddle ... it really is Ravenclaw's style," Maca thought.

With the formation of the pattern, Maca immediately felt a slight vibration from her feet—the marble table automatically moved away, and an old trapdoor was exposed underneath.

As Luna said, this path is not as narrow as others, it looks very spacious. Not only do people need to walk inside without walking, even Maca and Luna can walk side by side.

他们 After they walked a short distance, Maca heard a slight vibration coming from behind him again—the marble table moved back automatically.

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

Probably because this secret road is almost unknown, the underground warehouse outside the exit looks very messy. The crooked shelves around were all covered with thick dust, making one couldn't help but cover his mouth and nostrils, so as not to be caught by the raised dust.

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

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

宅 This house is at the end of the avenue in Hogsmeade Village, next to the back door of the magic equipment store of Devis and Bans. If you take a few steps back, it will be a pig's head bar.

The Hogsmeade village today looks wonderful.

Although here is still covered by snow, the same coldness walking on the street is compelling, but the huge pumpkin lanterns everywhere in the snow have dispelled the gloom brought by those dementors for a while.

I occasionally saw magical snowmen who were waving dead branches in the middle of the snowball, greeting the passing wizards.

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

玛 When Maca and Luna passed by a snowman, a carrot rolled to Maca's feet.

"Ok?"

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

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

As he chewed, he blurted his teeth at the sullen Snowman, "Oh, it's fresh ... Happy Halloween, Mr. Yeti."

"Oh my god-- my nose--" The snowman waved his slender arm vigorously, angrily, "Yes, happy Halloween, Mr. Robber!"

"It's better for you." Maca pouted at the carrot with her mouth, reached for a ball of snow from the wooden fence next to it, and pointed it with her wand.

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

After the transformation was completed, Maca stuck in the snowman's nose with her hand, but immediately pulled it down again.

"Sorry, it's the opposite."

He tossed the translucent "carrot" in a direction, pointed his head toward his side, and inserted it back again.

"Let it flash again," Maca unexpectedly nodded the snowman's new nose with her wand. "At night, you will become the most striking snowman."

With the last point of Maca, the snowman was surprised to find that his nose was like a light bulb, and it began to flash a pumpkin-like light.

It was as bright as a neon light invented by Muggle.

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

Snowman tilted his head, and then said happily; "Oh! Thank you! This is much better than carrot! Thank you ..."

In the snowman's wild waving hand, Maca and Luna continued to walk to the Duke of Bees candy store-the candy there was really good, at least the normal ones looked like this.

"Ding Jing"

As a pleasant doorbell rang, the hot atmosphere in the store immediately rushed towards them.

The Duke of Honey has always been one of the most popular Hogsmeade shops for little wizards. Every Halloween, there is always a crowd of little wizards.

The arrival of Maca and Luna scarcely alarmed anyone-it was too lively here.

As soon as most little wizards bought the candy they wanted, they couldn't help eating it in the store. From time to time, you can see that some little wizards chewed sorbet **** and floated without notice; some little wizards probably ate some pepper-flavored candy, and they were constantly spraying out. With thick black smoke.

There is even a freckled girl who is spitting fire at her friend. When the flames will go out, her friend's face will turn black.

"Hahaha ..."

They laughed at each other happily, as if it didn't matter much.

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

"Maca, what's wrong?" Luna touched Maca's hand and asked for it.

嗯 "Huh? Oh, it's okay ..." Marka stepped out of that touch and shook his head slightly.

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

On this basis, taking Dumbledore's story as a reference, I want to crack this test, but it seems that only passive waiting is left.

"... Maca?"

Suddenly, a voice emerged from the crowd, and it was Hermione--she was holding a pile of various candies in her hand with Ron.

"Hermione?" Maca nodded at her, looking at the candy in her arms. "Bring it to Harry?"

"Oh, yes." Hermione said, taking a subconscious look at Luna next to Maca, "Harry couldn't come over today, Ron and I would bring him back more ... is she?"

"Luna Lovegood ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Ravenclaw College." Ron answered suddenly.

Marka looked at Ron and nodded again.

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

哦 "Oh, that's great ... Hello, I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger."

"……Hello there."

Luna stared at God, watching Hermione answer.

I don't know why, the scene seems a little awkward.

嗯 "Well, can you introduce me the candy here? Ron, I remember you're good at this." Maca patted Ron's arm.

Ron seemed to be interested when he heard the words, he said, "You must not miss these ... Come with me!"

Under the leadership of Ron, the four rushed into the crowd.

Not long after, Maca and Luna also held a lot of sweets in their arms. After bidding farewell to Hermione and Ron, they left.

Behind them, Hermione and Ron stood at the door of the Duke of Honey, looking at the back of Maca and Luna, watching them leave.

"Listening to Fred and George, Lovegood is often called 'crazy girl' by others, and she and Maca often walk together, so they never call her that in person." Ron whispered, "But it is said , She's pretty good at Ravenclaw. "

"Mad girl?" Hermione looked puzzled.

"You have also seen that she always wears weird clothes and often tells others about her weird ideas ... And, in some ways, she seems a little out of reality, and her concept of behavior is very weird. . "

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

哦 "Oh, yes ... but everyone is secretly talking." Ron whispered.
