Chapter 227: Journey to Hogsmeade

"Harry, are you...are you okay..." Hermione said carefully. Today is the day for Hogsmeade to go out. However, when they were about to leave, Harry's face became obviously darker.

The bad guardian, Sirius Black, the broken Nimbus 000 and the shadow that has always existed, Voldemort...

"I'm fine..." Harry smiled, "You go, I'll go to Professor Lupin later, anyway, I have something to do."

"You can go to Professor Lupin to learn the Patronus Charm..." Fanlin said.

"This is very important. Dementors like you very much. There will always be a time to use you."

"Good advice..." Harry's eyes lit up, but when he thought of those bad things, he couldn't be happy.

...

"Don't think too much, brother." Fanlin sighed. For Harry, Fanlin had more sympathy.

Of course, he was the worst one, a person who shouldn't have existed...

"Then, let's go?" Hermione said, she was a little hot. "Professor McGonagall is still waiting for us downstairs..."

"Yeah." Harry hummed softly, "It's okay, you guys go, by the way, where's Ron?"

Hermione's face turned ugly. Before Harry came down, Ron had a big quarrel with Hermione while holding his mouse. Scabbers was found, but it was weaker than before, which made Ron's whole mental state a little abnormal.

During the days when Harry was in the hospital, he carefully protected Scabbers, which seemed more important to him than anything else.

Because of Crookshanks, Ron became more irritable, and he always quarreled with Hermione.

"Ron... Ron said he won't go..." Fan Lin said hurriedly, "You know, he has to take care of..."

"He has to take care of his damn mouse..." Hermione said with disgust. Crookshanks is a very smart cat. It has never been interested in other mice, except Scabbers.

Originally, Hermione still faced Ron with guilt, but Ron's increasingly bad attitude made her feel annoyed.

"Meow..." Crookshanks jumped out at the right time, and its cry was still so unpleasant.

Fanlin knew very well that as a magical creature, Crookshanks was extremely smart. Of course, Crookshanks learned his attitude towards Scabbers from Sirius Black.

"Good boy Crookshanks..." Hermione squatted down and gently stroked Crookshanks's hair, "You can go out and play, but don't go to Fanlin's dormitory, understand?"

"How can a cat understand you..." Harry said, and soon he realized that he had done something wrong.

Hermione glared at Harry fiercely.

"Let's go..." Fanlin said a little embarrassedly. Hermione's mood would become very bad when mentioning pet disputes.

"Okay..." Harry said, "I'll go back and pack up and go find Professor Lupin."

...

After leaving the Gryffindor public lounge, a cold wind blew over. It was already winter, and a thick layer of snow covered the ground.

The sun was not so dazzling, and the sky was foggy, which was very suitable for snowball fights.

Led by Professor McGonagall, a group of young wizards heading to Hogsmeade boarded the carriage that could move by itself.

In fact, it was pulled by the Thestrals, but creatures like the Thestrals were not so easy to see. Only those who faced death could see this ominous creature.

However, although the Thestrals could not be seen in the field of vision, their bodies could be touched, at least Fan Lin had tried to do so.

The Thestrals' carriage slowly moved forward in the snow, leaving two long traces on the snow surface as the wheels ran over it, and the snow made a creaking sound under the wheels.

This was the winter of Hogwarts, with a silvery white scene everywhere. The heavy snow blocked the mountains, and from time to time there were one or two rustling sounds of branches shaking off snowflakes due to the heavy load in the forest.

About twenty minutes later, the Thestrals' carriage entered the scope of the town of Hogsmeade. Because the road was really difficult to walk on, it took a little longer.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of all the young wizards.

As Professor McGonagall announced the disbandment, all the people scattered like birds that had just escaped from a cage.

This is Hogsmeade, a village for wizards, where you can see all kinds of magic products, even if they are for funny purposes.

The most important point is that Professor McGonagall was not accompanying them on this trip to Hogsmeade, which means that they have a whole day to wander around here.

All the little wizards can play without restraint without being criticized by Professor McGonagall.

The things in Zonko's Magic Joke Shop are always so innovative, and Honeydukes' candies are always so delicious, of course, except for the new things they launched.

However... there will always be some little wizards who are brave and have the spirit of death to take the lead. Fanlin only hopes that the warrior will not vomit ugly after trying Honeydukes' bloody lollipop.

Just think about it and you will know that it is very unpalatable. Fanlin hates the smell of blood and is very sensitive to it.

They can go to the Three Broomsticks to try some butter beer. Fred and George bought it back and it tastes good... if they don't get drunk so easily.

The girls can also go to the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store to buy some clothes that suit their needs, but Fan Lin doesn't think Hermione will go there. The wizard's clothes are too old-fashioned. If they are not attending a formal banquet, Fan Lin And Hermione didn't want to touch those things at all.

For example, Mrs. Puddifu's Teahouse is a nice place. Although the layout is very cramped, and the whole shop is decorated with tacky lace, handkerchiefs and teacups, pink... but the atmosphere is really Nice, maybe they can drink tea there and take a look at the snow scene outside and the choirs on both sides of the road...

However, these are decisions for Hermione to make.

Fan Lin looked at Hermione with some expectation. Now there were only two of them. The white snow spread all the way to the sky, and not far away was the entrance to Hogsmeade.

Hermione seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and smiled at Fan Lin, her eyes narrowed into a black slit because of her smile...

Hermione's eyelashes are very long...she smiles very beautifully...

Fan Lin seemed to be a little panicked, and his mood soon infected Hermione. I don't know if it was because of the cold weather or something else, but their faces soon turned rosy.

"I... where should we go first?" Fan Lin asked awkwardly. He scratched his head with his hand, which made him look very embarrassed.

In the words of Professor Lu Ping, men and women who are in love for the first time are always very panicked, even if they can satisfy each other.

"We..." Hermione lowered her head as if she was thinking. She secretly rubbed her cheeks with her hands, as if she wanted to relax.

Last time because Ron was here, this situation did not happen.

However, girls always need to know more and mature earlier. As for boys, just look at these two idiots Fan Lin and Harry. They know nothing.

"Are you cold?" Fan Lin asked. He wanted to take off his scarf and put it on Hermione. He didn't need it. In the second period, he felt that there should be no problem in doing so.

"I...I'm okay..." Hermione smiled, blushing as she quietly looked at the boy's flustered look.

"Why are you laughing?" Fan Lin asked embarrassedly, Hermione kept staring at him.

"nothing!"

By the time Fanlin tied up his scarf, the journey would begin.

"Maybe we could go to the Three Broomsticks...the juices and butterbeer there are nice, and you could warm yourself up."

"I'm going to Honeydukes!" said Hermione. "How about two licorice wands first?"

"good."

A simple conversation decided the two people's itinerary. This was the first time that the two of them had played together in the wizarding world. Perhaps the word "date" would be more appropriate.

Stepping on the snow, the two walked easily among the crowds. Today was Hogsmeade day, and you could always see little wizards walking in twos and threes walking through the streets.

They stood next to the choir for a while, pretending to sing a few lines with a group of children. No one knew what they were singing, but the happy atmosphere was clearly expressed.

When they came to the door of Honeydukes candy store, Honeydukes had been completely occupied by the little wizards of Hogwarts. It was a rare opportunity. Only students in third grade and above could come to Hogsmeade every weekend. , of course you must have the signature of your guardian.

Therefore, this makes Honeydukes candies very precious, and everyone wants to give themselves the greatest satisfaction with their favorite candies in a limited time.

With difficulty, he pushed open the door of Honeydukes Candy Shop. Noise and laughter filled the shop. Fanlin saw a large number of people gathered in front of him. He didn't know that the unlucky guy was challenging Dumbledore's favorite food. , the cockroach pushed.

These little things are not friendly. Fan Lin saw the Hufflepuff boy pinching one with his hand, and then...

Then he succeeded in irritating all the cockroaches. These little black things jumped around and, most importantly, they bit people.

A group of people surrounded the boy and laughed unscrupulously. This seemed very interesting.

…

"Are you sure you don't want to try some lollipops? Free tasting..." The store manager squinted and smiled. He liked these Hogwarts children very much.

"I think these chocolate frogs are enough to enjoy..." Fan Lin looked at the lollipop handed over by the store manager with an ugly expression.

What's the name... bloody lollipop, red, as if it had just been fished out from there, which made Fan Lin feel very... nauseated.

"I think I can give it a try..." Hermione said, she thought Fan Lin's appearance was very funny.

"Hermione..." Fan Lin said uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to give it a try?"

"That's right!" Hermione nodded, and she snorted softly, as if in provocation.

She opened her mouth and gently licked the lollipop with her tongue. A strong smell of blood mixed with a strange taste instantly filled Hermione's mouth.

"Well..." Hermione looked ugly and covered her mouth, she was about to spit it out.

Fan Lin threw away the damn lollipop in a panic. He didn't care about the store manager's gloomy expression. He used his wand to quickly condense an ice container to prevent the girl from spitting on the ground.

Along with the sound of retching, the girl's face turned ugly. She didn't vomit anything, it was just disgusting.

"I advised you..." Fan Lin said helplessly. He patted Hermione's back gently with one hand, hoping that this would make the girl feel better.

"I don't think I want to eat anymore..." Hermione said with a somewhat ugly face. Sure enough, it was better not to try the new candy of Honeydukes. Fred and George, the two bastards, did not lie to her this time, but Hermione still secretly remembered the two in her heart.

Maybe this is an unprovoked disaster.

"You should be obedient..." Fan Lin said helplessly. He didn't expect Hermione to have a temper.

"I don't know..." Hermione turned her head away, as if she didn't intend to pay attention to Fan Lin.

"Don't move!" Fan Lin said.

He raised one hand, and the aqua blue halo spread from his fingertips. He noticed that there was some red residue on the girl's face. He knew that it was left by the damn lollipop.

Fan Lin gently printed his hand on Hermione's face, and the halo of his fingertips passed across the corner of the girl's mouth.

Fan Lin wiped it very carefully. He didn't want these tiny things to damage the girl's face, so he looked very serious, as if he was wiping a beloved treasure.

Finally, when Fan Lin's hand left Hermione's cheek, he noticed that the girl's face was as rosy as a summer apple.

Hermione's eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She was very nervous. At the moment when Fan Lin put his hand on her, her brain became blank. She couldn't think of what she should do at this time.

Fan Lin just looked at Hermione quietly. He didn't know why he did this. Afterwards, he was also flustered. He was afraid that Hermione would be angry, but he was also looking forward to it.

"It's... It's a little hot here. I think... I should go out for a walk..." Hermione's throat was a little dry. She really felt that her cheeks were very hot. She needed to breathe some fresh air, at least to calm herself down.

"Oh, okay..." Fan Lin said a little woodenly. He followed Hermione closely. He was also very hot. The two really needed to find a place to cool down.

Just now, he almost kissed her. You know, there were a lot of people there. If he really did that...

The two of them walked out of Honeydukes' candy store one after the other and wandered aimlessly in Hogsmeade side by side. No one spoke. Of course, no one dared to speak. (To be continued)
