Chapter 220: Madam Puddifoot's Tea House

1993 was also called the Year of Black by many people.

Because in this year, the two male members of the Black family experienced an extreme reversal.

Sirius Black, Regulus Black.

Following the report of the Daily Prophet, Dumbledore, Fudge and others issued statements one after another.

The tragic experience of the two Black brothers has fundamentally changed many people's views on this ancient pure-blood family.

There are even very few voices that suggest that Bella should be re-investigated, perhaps she is also a person who has been wronged.

Of course, as soon as this voice came out, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, and it soon disappeared without even a ripple.

And those who can form such energy in the Ministry of Magic are obviously from pure-blood families. When thinking about what Bella did, the answer is actually very obvious.

—— Longbottom of the Holy 28th Family.

As an ancient pure-blood family, Longbottom's influence is not weaker than Black's. In fact, because they have served as strikers, Aurors and other positions for generations, their strength is even slightly better than many pure-bloods.

…

However, no matter how noisy the outside world is, it will only affect those who pay attention to it.

The fifth day of the Christmas holiday.

It was rare that Hogsmeade did not snow, but a layer of crystal white frost still condensed on the road in the early morning.

Mrs. Puddifoot got up early in the morning to prepare for work. During the Christmas holiday, her teahouse has always been the favorite of all the little wizards in the third grade and above.

Just think about it, sitting in a warm teahouse with your favorite person on a cold Christmas. Drinking sweet hot drinks, looking at Hogsmeade in the snow outside through the window.

Of course, these are hard conditions. Mrs. Puddifoot is best at making sugar.

Even if no one orders a drink, there is always a pot of pink sugar juice simmering on a low fire on the stove in the teahouse. This also allows every pair of little wizards who walk into the teahouse to immerse themselves in the sweet taste.

Every pair! Because people who come here are rarely alone. Even if it starts with just one person, it will become two people in the middle.

Mrs. Puddifoot was quietly boiling the syrup while looking at the small compartment in the third row of the window with a chuckle. The brown-haired girl had been sitting alone for a long time.

But past experience told her that this situation would not last long.

Because in her opinion, the brown-haired girl was actually very beautiful. Although her hair was a little fluffy, as long as she applied more softener and matched it with the lip gloss and eye shadow of the magical witch, she would definitely charm many boys.

Just when Mrs. Puddifoot was curious about what kind of boy would make such a girl wait, the bell of the teahouse opened gave her the answer.

"Merry Christmas! Mrs. Puddifoot!" Ino greeted with a smile.

Hogsmeade was not too big. After living here for more than a year, he also got familiar with many shop owners here. After all, there were only a few shops, and buying things always involved dealing with each other.

"Merry Christmas! But you should go in quickly, she has been waiting for a long time." Mrs. Puddifoot pointed at the compartment, indicating that it was the real owner.

The moment she saw Ino, Mrs. Puddifu had her own guesses about this relationship, but she agreed with the brown-haired girl's approach from the bottom of her heart.

If you like someone, you should fight for it. Happiness never knocks on the door.

…

At the same time, Ino also pushed open the wooden door with a Christmas wreath tied on it. Walked into the small compartment.

This place is really small, only about ten square feet, the square room is full of mist, with red leather back chairs on both sides, a pink cartoon small round table in the middle, and a lot of beautiful bows tied on the tablecloth.

To be honest, in such a small environment, if two people really sit face to face, their legs will inevitably collide.

It seems that Mrs. Puddifu really knows how to run a business, and she maximizes the use of the space in her shop, so that this small teahouse has added a lot of booths.

Although she criticized it in her heart, the moment she opened the door, Ino still greeted her warmly.

"Merry Christmas! Hermione."

"Merry Christmas!" Hermione responded cheerfully, and then explained in a low voice:

"I heard many people say that the caramel coffee here is delicious, so I made an appointment here."

Perhaps because the fireplace in the teahouse was burning a little, Hermione's cheeks were always red when she spoke.

"Is it delicious? Although I know Mrs. Puddifoot, this is my first time to visit her teahouse."

As Ino said, he sat opposite Hermione.

Of course, there was a collision on the way to sitting down, the environment here was really too narrow.

"Then you try it quickly, I also ordered a cup for you." Hermione happily pushed another cup of coffee on the table over.

The moment she heard Ino's answer, Hermione was really happy.

But the next sentence made her unhappy.

"Why don't we go to the Three Broomsticks? It's uncomfortable to sit here." Ino took a sip of coffee. Although he didn't dislike the sweetness, it was a bit greasy if it was too sweet.

Mrs. Puddifoot's caramel coffee was a bit greasy. It didn't taste bitter like coffee, but it felt like drinking concentrated syrup.

"Really?" Hermione's voice rose slightly, "But I can sit inside, so you have more space."

Hermione moved inside naturally. God knows that in just a quarter of an hour, her mind had changed three times.

From the initial expectation, to the shyness after meeting, to now finding that Ino was more uncomfortable than her, what was there to be afraid of.

Now it was her Hermione Granger home turf.

…

The Three Broomsticks Pub.

"You should go to Padifu's teahouse instead of me here." Ms. Rosmerta glanced at the two figures who had just entered the door.

"Actually, that's where we came from! But I still like the atmosphere here in comparison."

Ino responded with a chuckle, while leading Hermione to the spacious table in the corner.

Mrs. Puddifu's Teahouse, how could he not know about it.

Not mentioning the original story, just living in Hogsmeade for more than a year is enough to understand everything here.

In fact, whether it is the sweetness of the coffee or complaining about the narrowness of the place, it is essentially an excuse.

It's not that he pretends to be confused because he understands, but he is very clear about some things.

Just like the answer he once gave to the curious Draco, good feelings and vague likes during school days are just common problems in adolescence.

This kind of good impression and liking is like a summer rainstorm, it comes and goes as quickly as it comes.

Feelings always take time to refine.

Besides, this is only the second half of the third grade. Even if you really want to fall in love, you have to take the O.W.Ls exam in the fifth grade.

Seeing Hermione who looked gloomy since she walked into the Three Broomsticks, Ino also planned to find time to have a good chat with this girl.

After all, it's okay to pretend to be confused every once in a while, but it's a bit hurtful to pretend to be confused every time.

Xiaodi shared today: The Burrow

The Burrow is the home of the Weasley family, located outside Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England. This is a small building built using magic, which Harry regards as his second home.

After Dumbledore's death in 1997, it became the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. At the height of the Second Wizarding War, the Weasley family had to abandon the place because the Burrow had become a target of Death Eaters. It was so well hidden from Muggles that Mrs. Weasley once suspected that the Muggle postman "had no idea where our home was."

The Burrow is surrounded by rolling hills and fertile meadows, and is home to the Diggory family, the Lovegood family, and the Fawcett family.
