Chapter 248 Tracking (Modified)

Alan and Hermione's first stop was naturally Honeydukes. This is a paradise for little wizards. Not only did Hermione buy some Pepper Boys, but she also bought a few of her favorite candies - she only allowed herself to eat one piece a day at most, and she had to brush her teeth extra...

"Maybe I can have two for Christmas." Hermione decisively packed some creme mints - a candy that was shaped like a toad and felt like it actually pulsated in the stomach after eating.

After shopping, Hermione watched in surprise as Allen put various candies into the shopping basket, "You love candies so much?"

"No, I have a younger sister in my family, her name is Emily, and this is for her." Thinking of the naughty and lovely Emily, Alan's eyebrows and eyes are full of doting, "Her The nickname is Little Sweet Bear. I don’t know how to distinguish the taste of Bibi’s multi-flavored beans. She likes to give my brother Lun the smell of booger and earwax, and keep the delicious ones for herself—but she will share it with me every time. Some."

Hermione tried her best to restrain herself, and swallowed such disappointing words as "children who love sugar should go to the dentist regularly".

Alan noticed a sign (Special Flavors) hanging in the farthest corner of the store.

He greeted Hermione and walked over with interest, maybe he could buy some to trick Lun.

It must be very interesting for Lunn's serious expression to break apart - just as Percy was unpopular with his brothers at the Weasleys, Lunn did not reach this level at Harris's, but the brothers and sisters preferred The target of the prank must also be him...

A plate of bloody lollipops caught his attention, and he glanced at the serious lady know-it-all beside him: "Do you want to try this?" Allen twisted one and blinked mischievously.

"Uh, no, I guess they're for vampires." Hermione wrinkled her little nose.

"How about these?" Allen said, stuffing a can of cockroach candy under Hermione's nose.

"Absolutely not." Hermione pushed the jar away solemnly, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, Allen noticed the movement next to him. In front of the shelf of Bibi's multi-flavored beans not far from them, Ron frowned and cursed.

Allen took a step forward with some amusement, blocking Ron's view of this place.

Hermione looked inexplicably at Alan who suddenly came forward - he was stuffing a lot of bloody lollipops into the shopping basket.

"Your sister would like this?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"No, my second brother likes it." Allen pulled Lun out as a shield without hesitation.

Then, Allen took Hermione to Zuko's joke shop and bought a lot of "big dung bombs", "burp candy", frog egg soap and other things.

Not surprisingly, Allen saw Ron again in Zuko's joke shop.

Hermione saw Ron too, and her smile faded when she saw the angry look on Ron's face.

Hermione gave Ron a disgusted look and frowned.

Allen raised his eyebrows and pulled Hermione out of the store.

When Allen made Hermione forget Ron again and had a pleasant conversation, a large group of Slytherin girls walked by, including Pansy Parkinson.

"Harris and Granger!" Pansy screamed. "Ah, Harris, you don't have the best eyesight... Clearwater at least looks good!"

Pansy expected the girls to laugh, but instead there was an awkward silence.

Just like the little witches in other colleges, the girls in Slytherin actually have a good impression of Allen.

Such a handsome, capable, charismatic, and expensive boy couldn't arouse their disgust.

They looked at Hermione, who was completely different from usual, and couldn't go against Pansy's words—and they didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Allen.

Although it was inconvenient for Allen to argue with a girl, it did not prevent him from making a cutting gesture with his hands on his hair.

This made Pansy couldn't help shivering. She forced herself to snort coldly, and she was very unhappy, but she also quickened her pace. The walking speed seems to be too fast.

Hermione looked a little embarrassed, and Allen thoughtfully changed the subject.

"Hermione, your nose is red from the cold, why don't we go into Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse and sit down."

Hermione immediately covered her nose with her hand, and she really felt the tip of her nose was icy cold. She couldn't imagine her red nose, and immediately nodded in agreement with Alan's suggestion.

Alan pushed open the door of the teahouse in a gentlemanly way, letting Hermione in first.

Then, Allen turned his head and showed an inexplicable smile to Ron who was following him.

This is a small and cramped teahouse, full of mist. Everything in it is decorated with tacky lace, even the little round tables.

Hermione suddenly became out of tune with her body, she was embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable. Because she found that the room was full of couples, all holding hands.

Allen had already walked in, took Hermione, and sat down at the only remaining round table, next to the foggy window.

Hermione hung her head nervously.

Allen looked out the window indifferently, and Ron's figure loomed behind a cedar.

Allen leaned forward slightly, brushing the snowflakes off Hermione's head.

Ron kicked the cedar angrily, and as a result, the snow on the tree fell down, splashing Ron's head and face - he waved his arms anxiously, and wiped them chaotically.

Allen couldn't help laughing, and Hermione looked up suspiciously.

Just as she was about to ask Alan what he was laughing at, she was distracted by Mrs. Puddiffe.

"What do you two want to order?" Mrs. Puddife asked. She was fat, with a shiny black bun, and squeezed between the two tables with difficulty.

"In this weather, let's not choose any tea, how about two cups of hot coffee for a change?" Allen looked at Hermione.

A young couple at the next table started kissing through the sugar bowl, and Hermione lowered her eyes in embarrassment and nodded carelessly.

"Professor Flitwick will soon teach us the Happiness Charm, and I found out when I helped him prepare the lecture notes." Allen saw Hermione's embarrassment, and brought the topic to Hermione's interests.

Sure enough, Hermione opened her eyes wide and looked at Allen.

"He attaches great importance to this spell, and maybe it will be included in the spelling topic in the final exam." Allen shrugged.

Speaking of charms, and entering familiar territory, Hermione was intrigued. She sipped the hot coffee and relaxed her tight shoulders.

Just when the two were talking happily, the door of the teahouse was knocked open with a "bang", and a little wizard broke in.

It was Draco Malfoy, and, uncommonly, he was not followed by Goyle and Crabbe.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Malfoy unceremoniously walked to Alan and Hermione's table, and sat down at once.

Seeing this, Ron outside the window didn't care to slap the snow on his body anymore, and watched their conversation intently, trying to identify their lip shapes-of course, he must be in vain.

"Harry still thought that Alan was looking for him. Look, Malfoy came to talk to him in secret! Hermione knew it too, so she didn't tell us!" Ron stomped his frozen feet angrily.

"No, I have to find a way to find out what conspiracy they are discussing!" Ron said to himself.

But he found desperately that without Harry and Hermione, he had nothing to do at this moment!

Suddenly, he was patted on the shoulder, and he turned around, but he didn't find anyone.

Ron looked around in surprise, "Have I hallucinated by Alan and Hermione?"
