Chapter 61: Halloween Eve

On Halloween Eve, the third-year students of Hogwarts welcomed their first trip to Hogsmeade. The gatekeeper, Mr. Filch, proofread one by one with a long piece of parchment to prevent anyone who was not on the list from slipping out.

A large group of Slytherin classmates of Sherin passed Filch's review and came to Hogsmeade.

Draco seemed to have been here several times when he was a child, but Sherin, who was more of a homebody, was here for the first time to come to the only pure wizard village in the UK, so Draco naturally acted as a tour guide for them.

"This is the Three Broomsticks, which has the best butter beer. It is probably the most well-informed and lively place in Hogsmeade." Draco pointed to a bar and introduced it.

Daphne glanced at Shaylin and said, "The owner, Ms. Rosmerta, is a famous beauty. Even the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge and the professors come to Hogsmeade to drink here. Don't you want to go in and take a look?"

"Haha, with you and Meredith here, why should I look at other girls?" Shaylin knew that he couldn't say it even if he wanted to, so he laughed it off.

"Really?" Daphne's eyes had a strange luster flowing, "Where's Murray? Where's Luna? And Hermione, when you held her hand that day, the expression on her face... Tsk tsk..."

Daphne exposed Shaylin's gossip. This time, even Meredith, Pansy and other girls came up.

Meredith's face was as cold as frost, and even her tone was a little cold: "I know Murray, when did Luna and Hermione happen?"

Draco curled his lips, "Hermione Granger? The big front teeth?" Draco raised his eye corner, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Sherin. You already have Daphne and Meredith, but you are still not satisfied. Well, I admit that Murray's conditions are indeed good, and he is still worthy of our Malfoy family, but Hermione's big front teeth are too..."

Pansy was a little gloating, covering her mouth and laughing: "Oh, I can't tell, Sherin, your actions are really hidden and efficient!"

Blaise and Nott looked admiring, plus a little envy and jealousy - Sherin's popularity with women is too good!

"Luna, Hermione and I are absolutely innocent!" Sherin hurriedly denied, "We are just friends, not even good friends."

He pretended to be deaf and dumb to change the subject. "Look! It's the Weasley twins. What does that shop do?"

The Weasley family is known as a pure-blood traitor and has always been hated by the little snakes of Slytherin. With this shout, Sherin successfully changed the topic. Several people looked in the direction of his finger.

"Oh, that's Zonko's Joke Shop." Draco said. They saw the Weasley twins coming out of there, holding a lot of prank props such as filiba fireworks, dung bombs, fangs Frisbees, etc. "Most of Wesley's props come from there. If you ask me, if Filch can, he would definitely want to tear down this shop."

"Maybe we can also go to see Honeydukes!" Pansy pulled Draco forward. It was obvious that Zonko's Joke Shop was not the favorite of girls. Honeydukes is recognized as the store with the most Hogwarts students.

"Furry Teeth Mints!" As soon as they entered Honeydukes, several girls excitedly rushed to the candy pile. For girls, sweets and body shape are always in a relationship of increase and decrease. This is a problem that even Dumbledore cannot solve. But it seems that Honeydukes has partially solved this problem in a landmark way. At least, the Momo Teeth mints are said to be sugar-free and have no common side effects of sugar substitutes. They are the only sweets that Hogwarts girls can safely consume in large quantities.

Sherin is not very interested in sweets. At this time, he is accompanying Daphne and Meredith shopping, and can only look around the store bored.

A wizard is distributing a kind of milk fudge among the crowd. It seems that this should be a sample of a new variety of candy. The shelves on all sides are full of students, and all kinds of candies beyond imagination fill his sight.

The cream seems to be flowing on the large pieces of butter peanut candy; the pink coconut ice cream is glittering; hundreds of different flavors of chocolate are neatly stacked, but on this day that is not Valentine's Day, it seems that few girls are interested in them; Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans and Zizi Honey Candy are packed in jars, which make the wooden shelves creak and seem to fall over at any time.

"My parents will definitely like Fluffy Teeth Mints! They are both dentists." A familiar voice entered his ears, and Shaylin turned his head suddenly to find Hermione and Ron discussing the types of candies.

"Hi, Shaylin!" Hermione greeted Shaylin, and Ron snorted inappropriately. Hermione gave Shaylin an apologetic smile and returned to the discussion with Ron.

Draco and the four boys were not very interested in candies and sweets. They just bought some candies and left first, discussing going to the Three Broomsticks to see the beauties. Only Shaylin was left behind, making him a porter for several girls, responsible for carrying bags of candies. Fortunately, Shaylin carried Newt's suitcase with him (in the pocket of the Supreme Wizard's robe), and he was confident that even if he was asked to move the entire Honeydukes, it would not be a problem.

After spending two full hours at Honeydukes (Oh my god! Sigh for poor Shaylin for 3 seconds), the girls finally let Shaylin go and left Honeydukes contentedly. Pansy and her three besties decided to continue shopping at the Elegant Wizard Clothing Store, but Daphne seemed to have other ideas, so Shaylin, Daphne and Meredith separated from them.

Hogsmeade is not actually very big, with only about a dozen shops. Since the two girls don't like Zonko's Joke Shop and have no intention of buying clothes, and Honeydukes has already finished shopping, Sherin scratched his head and suggested: "Uh, aren't you going to buy clothes? Do you want to go to the Three Broomsticks to find Draco and the others?"

Daphne's eyes flashed with cunning, and she pretended to be very serious and said: "I heard that there is a teahouse nearby that has delicious cakes. Let's go and try it, okay?"

Meredith instantly guessed Daphne's intention and said very cooperatively: "You mean Madam Puddifoot's Teahouse? I've heard about it too, and her tea and snacks are really good."

Although Sherin was visiting Hogsmeade for the first time, he was familiar with the original book, so how could he not know what Madam Puddifoot's Teahouse was? He held back his smile and nodded in agreement.

The three walked along the street and finally turned into the side road opposite the Hog's Head Pub, where there was a small pink teahouse. The owner here has undoubtedly passed the romantic period, even Sherin, who thinks he is not very romantic, feels this way. However, Madam Puddifoot's Tea House is still a dating place for Hogwarts couples.

As soon as he stepped into the tea house, Sherin saw two familiar faces - Percy and Penelope sitting in a corner chatting. The two were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't notice them.

The tea house was small and foggy, as if everything was decorated with ruffles or bows. There were not many customers inside, and there were plenty of seats to choose from. The three of them sat down next to the foggy window, keeping a distance from Percy's table. There were Hogwarts students all around, and even if they couldn't call their names, they looked familiar.

One of them, Shaylin recognized, was Roger Davis, the playboy from Ravenclaw. He was elected as the new Quidditch captain of Ravenclaw this semester and ranked third on the list of girls' dream lovers (Shaylin was the first, and Cedric Diggory, who had just become the Quidditch captain, was the second). He was with a beautiful blonde girl at the moment, and their hands were intertwined on the table.

"What would you like to order?" Mrs. Puddifoot came over and said. She was fat and had a shiny black bun. She wanted to say the same old cliché, but she noticed that this table was different, so she quickly changed her words.

"Three cups of milk tea, please." Daphne said.

"If this place is renovated, I think many couples will be willing to patronize it." Shaylin looked around and muttered softly. The decoration of this shop was really not very good, which made him wonder if most wizards had the same taste.

After the milk tea came, Shaylin tasted it - my god, it was so sweet! Daphne and Meredith couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw Shaylin frowning because of the sweetness of the milk tea.

"This tea tastes like syrup." Shaylin complained in a low voice.

Daphne was a little gloating. She said with a smile: "Mrs. Puddifoot seems to think that lovers should be as sweet as possible. Look, little angel!"

A creature that looked like a human baby flew over the small round table. It had a pair of pure golden wings and its lower body was wrapped in a pure golden cloth (imagine a diaper). The little angel couldn't speak, but only giggled and mechanically sprinkled pink confetti on the small round table.

Shaylin looked at the milk tea sprinkled with confetti and sighed secretly. Do young girls in the wizarding world like this kind of style?

Xie Ling took out his wand and waved it gently on the round table. The confetti and teacup disappeared. Then he waved it again at the air around him, silently releasing an ear-blocking spell, so that no sound from his place would be heard. He gently tapped the little angel again, and the little angel stopped giggling and scattering confetti. Instead, he took out a pure golden harp and began to play Richard Max's "Right Here Waiting".

(Note: Cherubs can't sing, so the music played is just pure music)

(Note: Cherubs come from the Bible, not folklore. According to Rowling's practice, they should not be magical creatures. Here, the author sets them as magical creations similar to stone statues and winged demons. They are animated from statues or models and can be controlled by wizards' animation spells to perform actions such as scattering paper and playing music.)

Although this piece was originally supposed to be played on the piano, playing it on the harp adds a sense of sadness. Daphne and Meredith have never been exposed to Muggle music, but it does not prevent them from feeling the deep affection implied in the music. The three of them just sat quietly, immersed in the music.

Suddenly, a series of snapping sounds came, and Roger Davis and his girlfriend began to kiss across the sugar jar. The two's actions seemed to have a kind of magic, which made other couples sitting next to them unable to control themselves and imitated them. The atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly fell into a charming atmosphere.

Xie Lin was a little embarrassed at this time. He had kissed Meredith for the first time in his life, and had kissed Daphne when he went to a concert during the summer vacation. But now that both girls were present, he didn't know what to do? If the Internet was available here, Xie Lin would have definitely sent out a "waiting online, urgent!" call for help.

Daphne and Meredith looked at each other, and sat down on Xie Lin's left and right sides. Daphne put her mouth close to Xie Lin's ear and whispered, "This is a reward for you. You have been with us for so long today. You must be bored, hehe!"

Xie Lin had no chance to say a word. Daphne's arms were wrapped around his neck like a snake, and her hot lips blocked his next words.

After a long time, Xie Lin finally came back to his senses from the wonderful feeling. Before he could catch his breath, he opened his eyes and saw Meredith's breathtakingly delicate face close at hand. Her long eyelashes kept trembling, her eyes were full of burning expectations, and her plump red lips were slightly open as if inviting you to taste them, with an indescribable charm and shyness - silence was better than words at this time, the two people confirmed their feelings for each other through a glance, so Xie Lin kissed him.

Meredith snorted lightly and wrapped her arms around Xie Lin's neck. The two breathed each other's breath and felt the delicate and warm touch...
