Harry emerged from Honeydukes' cellar. He orientated a little, and then took a chance to sneak out of the basement of the candy store.

He opened his eyes wide, staring at everything in the shop intently.

There are all kinds of candies that look very attractive on the shelves: milky yellow toffee, pink coconut sorbet, toffee in buckets, and the most important thing is a shelf dedicated to chocolate. There are hundreds of flavors of chocolate.

Harry was dazzled, and his heart was extremely excited. He regained the feeling he had when he first arrived in Diagon Alley.

As for the worry in his heart just now, he threw it thousands of miles away-it is worthwhile to come to Hogsmeade even if he is confined.

Of course, he was still sane and didn't take off his invisibility cloak. Because too many people knew he wasn't eligible to go to Hogsmeade. If he was seen here, it would get him into big trouble.

Harry believed that after Malfoy saw him, he would leak his whereabouts to Snape within five minutes. At that time, he might be kidnapped by Snape and returned to Hogwarts. Spent in a confinement room.

So he carefully wrapped the invisibility cloak tightly, and he purposely put the cloak over his feet so that he would not be exposed by the shoes. As for the footprints, Harry was relieved when he glanced out of the window. Thanks to the little wizards who came to Hogsmeade today, they came and went, trampled the snow-covered ground into a mess, leaving no conspicuous traces at all.

At first Harry was very cautious, huddled in a corner and remained motionless, but soon he was relieved: there were too many people in the store, and no one would pay attention to some strange noises—even if they were discovered, they would think it was something strange Weird magic.

Harry, who had relaxed a lot, began to pick out candy seriously. As a good boy, Harry would certainly not choose to steal. He reached into the back of the shelf and removed the candy, dropping a few Sickles at the same time. It was very smart for Harry to do this, because taking the candy from the back would not change the surface of the shelf, and the money left would not be easy for customers to find.

"Chocolate Frog... Candied Pineapple... Pepper Boy..." Soon, the bottom of Harry's robes was filled with sweets.

Just when he was "buying" happily, he saw Neville walking over with a huge lollipop that had just been unpacked.

He suddenly became interested, and took the lollipop from Neville's hand while he was not paying attention.

Neville:?

What about my big lollipop?

He blinked, with an innocent and bewildered look on his face. Neville was a little flustered: Is this a ghost playing a joke on him?

At this time, he heard the sound of candy being bitten into pieces.

He froze all of a sudden, with a panicked expression on his face. Fortunately, the sound of chewing sugar gradually faded away, and Neville breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the evil spirit haunting him had gone away.

But do evil spirits really steal people's lollipops? Could it be Peeves? But can Peeves leave Hogwarts? Neville was lost in thought.

Harry, enjoying a lollipop, followed a senior student out of Honeydukes. He wandered aimlessly in the streets wearing an invisibility cloak.

He didn't realize the problem when he was in Honeydukes, but when he left the bustling candy store, he realized how out of place he was.

The other little wizards walked on the street in twos and threes, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time beside them. Some groups are even couples, and they don't forget to show their affection on the road.

Most of these couples kept themselves safe in Hogwarts. After leaving school, they seemed to let go of their shackles, and the sour smell of love smelled all over their bodies, making single children feel like eating lemons.

Harry is the only exception. He stood alone in the ice and snow, looking as if he had been abandoned by the world. He even wanted to deliberately make some noise so that everyone could see him.

Of course, this is just his wishful thinking.

Harry's preparations were inadequate. It can be said that this "action" is a coincidence, and it is all a coincidence. So that Harry didn't know what to play after he set foot on the land of Hogsmeade. This feeling is like having a choice difficulty in an amusement park.

Harry decided to wander around casually. As a result, he got lost.

Turning around, Harry noticed that the road around him was getting more and more desolate, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered: It seems that he has left the core area of ​​Hogsmeade?

At this time, he heard the voices of a man and a woman.

"Across the UK... haunted house"

"Closer to the house!"

He recognized it. It was Tom and Hermione. So he quickened his pace and ran towards the source of the sound. As for what he would become when he got there, and what changes would happen to the scene, that was beyond Harry's scope of thinking.

…

Hermione was waiting for Tom's reply. At this moment, the thick scarf covered half of her face, making the blush on her face nowhere to be seen. But her eyes betrayed her.

Those watery eyes were clearly shouting at Tom: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Today's Hermione is wearing a red knitted hat, a black plush coat, and a scarf with Ravenclaw stripes wrapped around her neck. The khaki pants couldn't hide her slender thighs, and one leg of the trousers extended to her ankles, covering most of her snow boots.

Seeing that Tom didn't answer her for several seconds, Hermione shook the lady's bag on her shoulder a little uneasy. She reflected on what she just said, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Why did he not agree?

Perhaps the action of fiddled with the satchel interrupted Tom's thoughts, he came back to his senses and agreed to Hermione's proposal.

"Of course I'm fine—I'm just afraid that someone will repent, after all, it's the scariest haunted house in the whole of England~"

Seeing that Tom agreed, Hermione was relieved, and she refused to suffer at all: "We are wizards, why are we afraid of ghosts? But you, who hesitated for so long just now, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about how to get in."

"Go in?" Hermione was taken aback, "You want to go in?!"

Then she panicked. She meant to get a closer look at the Shrieking Shack, not go inside! For the Screaming Shack, Hermione is actually afraid.

This is a haunted house recognized by the magic world! And wizards have seen ghosts! Even wizards think the things inside are scary, so it must be really scary.

Hermione hesitated.

Seeing Hermione like this, Tom was surprised: Hermione is really afraid of this?

"You're scared."

"I didn't!" Hermione yelled as if her tail had been stepped on.

"Then do you dare to enter this room?"

Hermione: ...

She shared her concerns with Tom. Tom laughed. Of course he knew the truth about the Shrieking Shack, and he also understood that the reputation here was most likely spread by the villagers of Hogsmeade. The purpose is to attract more tourists.

It's been so long since Lupine graduated, and the Scream Shack's popularity continues unabated. Tom would not believe that there was no pusher behind it. Besides, two screams can be rated as the scariest haunted house in the whole of England by wizards? Is it a bit sloppy?

However, in this case, talking about hype is a bit of a shame.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you." Tom squeezed Hermione's little hand, her little gloved hand was fluffy and soft like nothing.

"Tom..." Hermione whispered, her red lips parted slightly. Tom leaned over and closed the little mouth that was open.

At this time, Tom and Hermione hugged each other face to face, Hermione's face was slightly raised, Tom's face was tilted down, through the gap between the two necks—if the invisibility cloak can be seen—you can see just arrived, Harry stood stunned not far away.

There are little snowflakes in the sky, and it is the season of white again.

Harry just felt that he had come at the wrong time.

But someone was even more out of place than him.

"Granger! Yodle—" a voice drawled in the distant bushes. Harry recognized immediately that it was Draco Malfoy's voice.

Malfoy and his two companions jumped out of the bushes and shouted while running into the distance: "Granger, I advise you to fasten your pants, your **** will be frostbitten in this weather, you should How to explain to Madam Pomfrey—ah!"

Malfoy dared to jump this time because he kept a safe distance from Tom and Hermione. The distance between the three of them and Tom and Hermione is more than ten meters. At this distance, the hit rate of the spell is already very impressive, but after the three of them ran, they changed from a "fixed target" to a "moving target", which is almost impossible Hit by the curse.

In this case, why not make a mockery of Tom, who once let himself be deflated? Malfoy has disliked Tom and Hermione for a long time. Although Tom's friendship with him was not as close as that of Ron and Harry, they were also very tense because of those two direct conflicts. It's just that because of Tom's superiority in force, he has to swallow his anger.

Malfoy thought beautifully, but it was a pity that his running route happened to pass by Harry. So Harry stretched out his foot—

With a plop, Malfoy fell to the ground, dazed.

His two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, were very loyal, instead of leaving Malfoy to run alone, they turned their heads and tried to help him up.

At this time, two red lights flashed past.

"Stupid!" ×2

Tom and Hermione subconsciously took the same action. It's hard to say what the moving target is, but both of them hit the fixed target very accurately. Crabbe and Goyle fainted with a muffled grunt.

Malfoy struggled to his feet, but two flashes of red light knocked him to the ground as well.

Tom, who knocked the three unconscious, ran to them and used the Oblivion Curse on them one by one. Let these three people see themselves dating Hermione, maybe there will be some vicious rumors. So Tom decided to correct their memories and make them forget that they had met him in Hogsmeade

Harry beside him was terrified. He stood there nervously, not daring to breathe, for fear of exposing himself, and tasted the set meal of the Stunning Curse and the Forgetting Curse.

After dealing with the three of Malfoy, Tom skillfully dragged them aside, and the three of them would wake up in a few minutes, and then they would forget what they shouldn't have seen.

Tom straightened up, and now his eyes fixed. Harry's heart skipped a beat, and he also realized a problem. Following Tom's gaze, he could see a series of footprints winding up from the bottom of the hill.

Tom and Hermione's, the Malfoy trio's, and a string of others that stopped and showed no sign of turning back. The string of footprints was very close to Tom, almost touching his face.

Harry felt his heart being pinched and his blood stopped flowing.

Tom's first reaction was that there was someone standing face to face with him. When he figured this out, he frowned instantly, jumped back all of a sudden, and at the same time slapped a "faint" towards the place where the footprints disappeared.

Tom's reflexive counterattack then startled Harry. The spell brushed against his ear, causing Harry to fall to the ground and the Invisibility Cloak fall from him.

"Harry?" Tom and Hermione called in disbelief. Seeing Harry Potter here is a very incredible thing, just like seeing a polar bear on the African savannah.

Hermione's surprised face was deformed when she saw Harry. She screamed, "Harry, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Harry thought to himself, isn't this looking at you... But his desire to survive made him change his mind: "I saw the three of Malfoy sneaking around, so I followed them, and I saw you conflicting with them."

This sentence reminded Hermione that the problem now was not how Harry got here, but that he was here.

Hermione squinted at him for a moment, her wand seemed to tighten even tighter. Her gaze sent hairs down Harry's back.

Why didn't he realize that Hermione was so aggressive?

Fortunately, after some deliberation, Hermione put away her wand, and her expression softened. Her voice was as sweet and gentle as ever.

"Then please keep the secret for us, we don't want others to know that we knocked Malfoy out."

Harry was relieved, "Of course."

He still wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth suddenly, his eyes widened, his lips trembled, and finally all his emotions became one word, and he blurted out: "Ominous!"

Following Harry's gaze ~lightnovelpub.net~ Tom saw a large, shaggy black dog turning around and crawling into the Screaming Shack.

"Did you see it?" Harry blushed with excitement.

"I see." Tom and Hermione nodded.

Something unexpected happened. After getting the affirmative answer, Harry cheered up and ran towards the Shrieking Shack.

There was no time for him to find the entrance to the fence, so Harry grabbed the barbed wire and climbed over the fence.

Tom looked at Harry who was desperately chasing Sirius, and couldn't help sighing, "Follow!"

He followed suit toward the Shrieking Shack.
