Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

? The Harry trio spent every day in the cold cell watching the fragrant Buddha jumping over the wall, ground pot chicken, preserved clay pot rice, charcoal grilled pork belly, steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce, sweet and sour pork loin, pan-fried bacon and enoki mushroom fat beef rolls. ..., recalling the two meals without any oil or water in the morning and evening, they first let out a weak cry, and then faced Zhang and Mu who were feasting in front of them, they gradually became numb and no longer bothered about it. The struggle was in vain.

They numbly copied the school rules, and could only rely on the time when the house elves came to deliver meals every day to judge whether it was day or night outside.

When the iron door of the cell opened with a creak, the three of them didn't react for a moment. They thought someone was coming to bring them food.

"The time is up, you three come out."

Moody's voice echoed in the dungeon. After pinching himself to make sure he was not dreaming, Harry stood up from behind the table and staggered towards the cell door.

After stepping out of the cell, Harry turned to look at the next door and found that Ron was also turning to look at him.

Moody looked at the three people hugging each other and crying. After a while, he said to them: "Let's go, someone is waiting for you outside."

The freed Harry trio wiped away their tears and walked out of the dungeon.

When Harry and Ron pushed open the dungeon door from inside, Hermione behind them let out a scream.

Then, after seeing clearly the person waiting for them outside the door, Ron also exclaimed: "Mom!"

Harry pinched himself hard again, but the pain told him that he was not dreaming. It seemed that he pinched himself a little too hard, and tears kept flowing from his eyes.

In the dungeon, Moody sat on the chair where he had been protecting Harry and the others these past few days. He took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it happily amidst Mrs. Weasley's scolding from outside the dungeon. Started smoking.

(￣?o)y━?

After he finished eating Mr. Zhang's mutton stew that day, Mr. Zhang very wisely prepared an additional torture device for Harry and the others the next day, and gave him a large box of cigars. From now on, no matter how late Mr. Zhang comes, he will not eat those instruments of torture in advance.

Today is the first day of the Christmas vacation. Professor McGonagall has graciously released the Harry trio early so that they can reunite with their families as soon as possible.

Thus,

Moody's job became easier as he finally had time to install his newly purchased prosthetic leg.

On the second day of the fair, Black and Lupine came to the dungeon, and then Lupine took over for him, and Black pulled him to a booth inside the fair that was full of hands and feet.

Black told him that Hogwarts had decided to pay for a prosthetic leg that was almost identical to his real leg. And it's up to him whether he wants to replace his prosthetic eyes.

It's just that the custom-made prosthetic leg had been made and shipped to the UK last weekend, but he didn't have time to put it on.

After finishing a cigar, Mrs. Weasley's scolding outside the dungeon had stopped. Moody's original prosthetic eyes turned to the door, and through the thick stone of the castle, he saw Mrs. Weasley hugging the three young people tightly.

Without disturbing their reunion, Moody took another cigar out of his pocket and lit it.

Today is the day for the students of Hogwarts to go home for the holidays. The students left the school after having breakfast. Some students take the Hogsmeade train home directly, while others reunite with their families waiting for them in Hogsmeade. They will do the last big shopping here before Christmas before going home together. .

Just as the Harry trio and Mrs. Weasley were heading to the principal's office and preparing to pass through the fireplace there to 12 Grimmauld Place, on the central street of Hogsmeade, Gabrielle grabbed Zhang Xu's hand. hand, and ran towards Honeydukes Candy Shop.

In the past two years, Gabrielle has grown a lot taller, and similarly, her strength has also grown a lot.

Gabrielle pulled like this, which affected the wound on Zhang Xu's hand, causing him to grin behind Gabrielle in pain.

During the operations a few days ago, his arm was slightly injured. It would not be a big problem in daily life, but it would take a day or two to recover. In order not to worry his family, he had been making excuses to recuperate in Hogwarts for the past few days. He didn't show up until today after the Delacour family came to England.

Since the whole Zhang family is in the UK this year, the Delacours decided to spend this Christmas together in the UK and discuss the wedding of Zhang Xu and Furong in France next summer. .

This is how Zhang Xu took his sister-in-law shopping in Hogsmeade today.

Today's Honeydukes candy store is no longer the same bleak place it was at the beginning of the month. Candies from all over the world fill every inch of the counter and shelves.

Gabrielle, who had received the guarantee that Zhang Xu could buy as much as she wanted, carried the basket in the candy store and walked through the shelves like an elf among the flowers, choosing her favorite candies.

At this time, the three Harrys emerged from the fireplace of No. 12 Grimmauld Place one after another, and the last one to come out was Mrs. Weasley.

Against the background of the fireplace, Harry was keenly aware that Mrs. Weasley was much thinner than before. But from the smile that remained on her face, there was no trace of suffering at all.

Maybe it was because she didn't want Harry and the others to see it.

"You guys wait here for a while and eat something first. I know you are very hungry these days." Mrs. Weasley said to the Harry trio in the restaurant.

"Mom." Ron stood up and called his mother, obviously wanting to ask her something.

But Mrs. Weasley smiled at him and said, "My dear, what you need most now is to fill your stomach. We can talk about anything later. This holiday is still very long."

At this moment, a bowl of oatmeal, a small piece of cake and a glass of milk flew over and landed on the table in front of each of Harry and the others.

"You guys should eat something first. You've been hungry for so long and you can't eat too much at once."

Ginny came out of the kitchen next to the dining room waving her wand. She knew what life was like for these three people during this period, and knew that their top priority now was to return their emptied stomachs to normal.

"Ginny!" Ron shouted, "Tell us quickly, how did mother come back?"

Ginny walked over and sat down next to Harry, resting on his shoulder. She sighed and said, "Well, we don't know either."

"What?"×3

Facing the questions from the three people, Ginny said: "Last week, my unconscious mother was sent to St. Mungo's. After the medical doctor's diagnosis, she was only very weak."

"Who rescued her?" Harry asked.

Ginny shook her head, "I don't know. There is no record at St. Mungo's, and no one has the memory of how my mother was admitted to the hospital. When the medical doctors responded, my mother was already lying on the hospital bed. Later, my father went to ask the minister , my father came back and said that the minister pretended not to know about it."

At this time, Hermione, who had been silent, asked: "Ginny, is there a Daily Prophet here? From that day to today."

"Yes, wait a minute." After Ginny finished speaking, she used the Flying Charm to summon a large pile of bundled newspapers. The thick newspaper hit the table with a "bang" sound, causing the cake plate to fall off the table. jumped up.

"These are the newspapers you asked for," Ginny said to Hermione with a grimace. "You cost me a galleon."

"Kreacher, are you there?" Nian shouted into the air.

With a "pop", Kreacher appeared in front of Ginny.

Ginny reluctantly took out a gold coin from her pocket and handed it to Kreacher, saying, "Please give this gold coin to Hogsmeade Zhang Xu."

Kreacher muttered without knowing what he was saying. He took the gold coin and disappeared with a "pop".

"This morning, he made a bet with me that you would definitely ask for the newspapers during this period of time to read instead of trying to make up for the homework you missed during this period." Ginny shrugged and said, "And I I think the first thing you will think about is how to make up for the homework you are missing."

Then Ginny waved her wand again, and a moment later a large pile of tied parchment flew in and landed in the center of the table.

"Here, this is the homework you owe during this period." Ginny pointed to the pile of parchment on the table and said, "Professor McGonagall, I will tell you that you must hand it in after the holiday."

Hermione's hand paused as she picked up the newspaper, then trembled.
