Chapter 222 The Quietly Elapsed Time
The turmoil caused by this report lasted for a long time, and many more owls came to Hogwarts, but the only good news is that last time Ron received dozens of howling letters, but this time there were only light owls. Four or five.
Those non-malicious, joyous letters were something that put people in a good mood, and even the Animagus tutoring that Ron went to Professor McGonagall every Friday was less of a headache.
"Why do we have to turn ourselves into animals, Seid?" Ron asked casually, yawning. It was almost twelve o'clock to turn off the lights, and he was a little sleepy.
"Maybe it's to experience a different life?" Seid thought while holding the notebook.
"You have such a strong taste, you are so perverted."
"???"
Cedric, who was stunned in place, always felt that something was wrong with his words, and then he thought about it.
"Ron, you bastard, don't run away!" Seid, who chased Ron wildly, stuck out his tongue and gave up after following Ron for half of Hogwarts.
"You beast"
Nearly exhausted, Seid gasped from humming to the wall and sticking out his tongue.
"Your body is too weak, why can't you do it at such a young age?" Ron, who didn't breathe a word, leaned against the wall and looked at Seid with a smile.
"I'm a normal person, okay?"
"Your physical strength is as good as a monster."
After taking a breath, Seid hooked Ron's shoulder and asked him curiously: "I heard from Wood that you don't plan to participate in the competition this year?"
"That's right, it's not interesting to fight with you guys. I've been abusing vegetables for two years, and to be honest, I'm a little tired."
"Then we have to thank you." Seid pouted, but there was a different kind of excitement in his eyes.
"But don't be too happy, Seid."
"what happened?"
"How much of the Patronus Charm do you know now?"
"Uh, it's only a short distance away from the entity, and I'll probably be able to grasp it around Christmas. Sirius said that I'm making rapid progress, what's wrong?"
"Harry's order shipped."
"What do you mean?"
"Harry ordered a Firebolt for everyone, and Wood is graduating, so this is a gift he prepared."
"You guys are cheating!" Immediately, Seid jumped up, "I said why there is no stock in Diagon Alley, and the reservation will not be available until the end of the year!"
"I thought it was Sirius who bought it out! Is Harry doing something human?"
"Seven Firebolts are the configuration of the national team. It's a mess."
Seid, who slapped Ron on the back with a 'dong dong' sound, grinned and blew his hands. Just now, he hit him so hard that it hurt him to death.
"You Gryffindors don't have a single good thing, you're all bad embryos."
Seid, who was trembling with anger, turned his head and took a shortcut and walked towards the lounge, "When you go to Madame Puddiffe's teahouse, remember to use the recommendation card I gave, I'm only one seal short of being able to exchange for a little angel of petals , Qiu has liked it for a long time, don't forget it!"
"Okay, okay, remember to remember."
Ron, who was smiling secretly, said goodbye to Seid, and turned to the Gryffindor lounge. It was already midnight, and there was only the sound of crackling bonfires.
But in the early morning of the second day, the lounge was completely different.
The Halloween holiday at the end of October was when they were allowed to go to Hogsmeade for the first time, and the classmates chattered in groups of three or four, and they kept chatting about where to go first when they went to Hogsmeade later.
Even Hermione, who had previously said that her expectations for Hogsmeade had become less high, chattered non-stop with Ron during breakfast, but Ginny kicked her feet aggrievedly. Not that.
After breakfast, they came to the middle of the hall, where Filch stood at the gate, holding a long list in his hand, watching every face vigilantly, not letting anyone not be on the list The people inside slipped out the gate.
"Harry Potter. Let's go."
"Hermione Granger, on the list.."
"Ron Weasley"
Filch paused, he saw Ron's footprints that were much deeper than normal.
"Xiaotuanzi has gotten fat."
Xiaotuanzi, who was hugging the bamboo shoots and gnawed joyfully, looked up in Ron's arms with a shocked face. He babbled while holding the bamboo shoots, as if he was saying, "You snatched all my bamboo shoots away!" It’s gone! I don’t even have any bamboo shoots to eat, how could I get fat!”
This cute little dumpling made Filch show a soft look, after all, it is so cute.
"It's better to be fat, and it's better to be fat."
Filch sighed, and looked sadly at Mrs. Norris, who was squatting at his feet. This cat was too thin, and even a small fish couldn't get fat.
"Wow?"
Lukexi, who came late, walked over from behind Ron, his eyes were a little puzzled, and he even felt a little wronged.
"Oh~ I'm sorry, Lukexi, I forgot about you, and I will go home more when I have free time, or I won't remember if I get lost."
!!!
Suddenly, Luxy, who was a little furious, rushed forward in two or three steps. He wanted to lie on Ron's back and ask Ron if the guy who lays on your bed every night to watch you is as handsome as him.
However, being caught by the back of his neck by fate, he could only droop his tail and frown and crooked his head.
He bared his teeth at Mrs. Norris, and Filch's skinny cat jumped three feet in fright. After all, whenever Luxie showed such an unhappy expression, some unlucky people always had to suffer.
Filch's face darkened immediately.
"Go, go, go, don't get in the way, there are still a bunch of people queuing up, get out!"
They passed through the gate guarded by dementors. After seeing the familiar figure, the gloomy guy couldn't help getting closer, but soon, they shrank back cowardly, looking at the few faces of the gate. All the dementors have been beaten by Ron. Although they can have a full meal, they can't forget the fists on their bodies.
The boy with the cat in his arms walked forward with deep footprints on Xiaotuanzi. After he was far away from Filch, Ron patted his shoulder.
"Ginny, did you hear that, you're getting fat again."
"You're fat! Stinky Ron!"
A wave of water swayed, and Ginny, who was wrapped in an invisibility cloak and sat on Ron's shoulder, was scratching frantically at him, destroying his hairstyle. The little girl cleaned up her stinky brother angrily. Is this still her own brother?
"If you're not fat, why don't you ride on Harry's shoulders! If you still beat me, I'll carry you back to school."
"Don't, don't~"
"Ron~ you are the best."
Ginny was coquettishly cute, but after getting off Ron's shoulder, she rushed to Harry's side and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Remember to wear the invisibility cloak. The professor will also go to the village to relax. Don't feel wronged if you are caught and put in confinement."
"Understood~" Ginny put on the Invisibility Cloak obediently, and then pulled Harry to trot away, "I've wanted to visit Honeydukes for a long time."
"Let's go too, go see Rita first, then"
"Then you're going to be busy again?"
"Probably not for the time being. Rita just found a clue and is still investigating. This time he came here just to announce the good news. He will never forget Jin Jialong who has allowed her to live comfortably for several years."
They held hands and headed towards the village not far away. The bustling Hogsmeade village was not as deserted as the previous visit. There were chattering little wizards everywhere, as well as passionate men and women spreading dog food on the street.
They pushed open the door of the Three Broomsticks, perhaps because of the weekend, there were not only little wizards here, but also some strange travelers, like a man holding a glass of 'red wine' that smelled like rust. A pale man, and a guy who looks like an ogre, but he is most likely due to a curse accident. This guy has a mouth of razor-like teeth. This kind of mutation is not common among wizards, but it is not rare. They're all people who can't afford to go to St. Mungo's, or who have weird aesthetics.
Rita, who was wearing a small dress, hurriedly waved to Ron and the others after they entered the tavern. She sat in a corner away from other tables, and there was a glass of refreshing lemon soda on the table.
"The message is correct?"
"Of course, of course!" Rita lowered her voice and hurriedly said, his original exquisite attire looked a little messy after a few months, it seemed that she was very tired from the busyness during this time.
But the look in her eyes was excited and excited.
"You made a lot of noise last month." Rita took a sip of soda water to moisten her throat, "But it's a good thing, a lot of things have been messed up behind the scenes, especially the one in Knockturn Alley. The idiots, they were scared out of their wits and thought the Ministry of Magic was going to do something big, but it didn't."
"However, I also took the opportunity to find out some key things, and I paid for it."
A small bag was placed on the table, "I invite you to have a cup of tea."
Immediately, Rita's eyes lit up and she showed a surprised smile. She likes this kind of hospitable big boss.
"I got some news that Bellatrix bought a lot of potion ingredients through secret channels two months ago, but they didn't appear after that, but recently, that is, half a month ago, It seems that someone saw a figure very similar to her appearing, I haven't fully confirmed the authenticity of the information, give me a while, I have already smelled her scent."
"What did she buy?"
"That person has already forgotten. After all, the small business two months ago was not that impressive, but there is something strange in it."
"Musk sac." Rita said to Ron with doubts.
"A love potion?"
Ron was also a little puzzled. At this time, Bellatrix still wanted to make a love potion to find a man?
"I'm sorry, this is beyond my understanding." Rita put away the small bag full of Galleons, and then left the seat calmly.
"Looks like we need to ask Neville or Harry when we go back, maybe Snape too."
Ron shrugged, "Maybe there are other potions we don't know that need this kind of thing."
"However... today is Hogsmeade's weekend."
"Shall we go out for a walk? I haven't been to Zonko's Joke Shop yet. It's interesting to hear from Fred."
"Don't buy big dung eggs and rotten eggs." Hermione crossed her arms with a look of disgust.
"Then a magic toilet seat?"
"what is that?"
"Just when you were about to wipe your butt, suddenly stuck out your tongue to solve the problem for you."
"Sigh~~"
"It hurts, don't step on your toes."
Throughout the noon and afternoon, they wandered around in Hogsmeade village. They saw the headquarters of the goblin rebellion, and went to the magic equipment shop. Bought a whole bunch of treats at the Honeydukes candy store.
Taking out the recommendation coupon given by Seide, the last time of the afternoon was quietly spent in this teahouse that exudes a sweet aroma, and there are chubby little angels throwing petals from time to time.
And after returning to school tired of playing, the Halloween party made today's holiday extraordinarily satisfying.
Except for the fact that Sirius and Snape almost fought again at the dinner party, the whole night was filled with laughter.
Even for several weeks after Halloween, little wizards are full and happy.
Especially in the few days before the Quidditch match, the congratulations and cheers that were passed around made the whole castle boil.
"You did it! You did it! Cedric!"
In the common room, little badgers with skewers in their hands surrounded Seid. They freed up their hands and threw Seid high into the sky.
A slender and exquisite broom with a mahogany handle was held by Seid. Although he failed to buy a Firebolt before Harry swept Diagon Alley, Sirius gave him a brand new broom two months later. , as a reward for his successful incarnation of the Patronus.
There are many little wizards who can use the silver smoke to repel the dementors, but so far only Seid can complete the summoning of the physical Patronus.
"We can definitely win this time, right! Ron won't participate in the competition!"
The excited little badger is filling the plate in front of Seid with all kinds of snacks. With this help, Hufflepuff will definitely perform very well.
"Well." Seid smiled wryly, "Gryffindor has seven Firebolts."
Heartbreaking voices came and went, and the dull little badgers stuffed barbecue meat into their mouths.
"Oh"
They sat down sullenly with their heads drooped, and flicked the charcoal fire under the grill, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
"We haven't won anyway, isn't that normal?"
I don't know where the words popped out pierced the hearts of the little badgers. In the Quidditch competition, they have been in second and third all year round. It seems that it will take decades to get the key Quidditch record. Ex. Ludo Bagman's years as Quidditch captain
"That's right! I haven't won anyway~"
The elated little badgers instantly swept away their listless look, and they brought out the butter beer they had treasured.
"Cheers to our Ced!"
Seid held the wine glass and was a little bit dumbfounded, but as the most open-minded and joyful little badger, he also left behind those unhappiness and joined the daily necessities, but today it was specially given to him in the lounge party.
