Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 219 City

In the last week of this semester, you can go to Hogsmeade again——

Everyone was happy except Harry.

And the reason why Harry was unhappy wasn't just that he couldn't go to Hogsmeade.

But because "Tiera" disappeared again——

To be precise, "Tiera" refused Harry's company——

During team practice, Harry rode one of the school's broomsticks. It was an old meteor, slow and wobbly. He definitely needed a new broom of his own -

Although Harry's parents left Harry a large amount of wealth, Harry needed to use that money to survive until seventh grade, so he couldn't spend it randomly except buying gifts for Tiera.

Harry originally wanted to discuss with "Tiera" what kind of broomstick he should buy next semester——

Although he didn't know why, "Tiera" suddenly seemed to be very knowledgeable about Quidditch, so Harry wanted to hear Tiera's opinion——

But Tiera rejected Harry's invitation and has not appeared since last night.

Harry was a little indignant and a little emotional about this, and he didn't know why he was like this. In order to distract himself, Harry had to hold the "Classification Broomstick" borrowed from Wood alone, and decided to put it away.

A day was spent learning about the different styles of broomsticks.

On the Saturday morning when everyone went to Hogsmeade, "Tiera" still didn't show up, and she didn't even return to her dormitory that night. Harry said goodbye to Ron and Hermione, who were wearing cloaks and scarves, and then

He climbed the marble stairs back to Gryffindor Tower alone.

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and the Hogwarts castle was very quiet.

"Hey, Harry!" Harry turned around halfway down the corridor on the fourth floor and saw Fred and George peering at him from behind a statue of a one-eyed, hunchbacked witch.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked curiously, "Why didn't you go to Hogsmeade?"

"We're here to give you a little holiday cheer before we go," Fred said, winking mysteriously, "Come here, it's time for you to join the big brothers' gang."

Fred nodded to an empty classroom to the left of the one-eyed statue, and Harry followed Fred and George in.

George closed the door gently, then turned around and looked at Harry with a smile on his face.

"An early Christmas present for you, Harry." George said, and then George pulled something out of his cloak with a wave of his hand and placed it on an empty table.

It was a large, square, very old piece of parchment, with nothing written on it.

Harry thought it was another Fred and George joke and stared at it.

"What is this?" Harry asked, "your new prank product?"

"This is the secret of our success." George said, then took out his wand, touched the parchment lightly and said:

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong."

Thin lines of ink, like spider webs, immediately began to appear where the wand had just touched.

These lines meet each other, cross each other, and extend to every corner of this parchment; then writing begins to appear on the top of the parchment, which are large curved green characters. They are: Moon Face, Wormtail, Supplier of Auxiliary Materials to Magical Mischief Makers

, gentlemen Padfoot and Prongs proudly present the Marauder's Map, which details Hogwarts Castle and its various locations.

But what's really remarkable are the tiny dots of ink that move along the map, each labeled with a name in tiny letters.

Harry was greatly surprised. He leaned over and took a closer look. A small ink spot in the upper left corner showed that Professor Dumbledore was pacing in the study; Filch's cat Mrs. Norris was wandering on the third floor, and the prankster ghost

Peeves was jumping around in the trophy room. Harry's eyes were scanning up and down the familiar corridors. At this time, he noticed something again.

The map showed a series of passages that he had never entered before. Many of these passages seemed to lead to...

"It's the one leading to Hogsmeade." Fred pointed with his finger along a passage. "There are seven in total. Well, Filch knows these four... huh?"

Fred suddenly exclaimed, and Harry followed Fred's gaze and looked over——

Harry saw a name that Harry was very familiar with appearing on the map in the passage leading from the one-eyed witch stone statue to the cellar of Honeydukes Candy Shop -

Tiera Lockhart.

A sense of betrayal and shame emerged in Harry's heart.

…

After following the residents of Leng Yuan off the boat, two toad-like creatures that seemed to have escaped from a nightmare appeared on both sides of Tiera - one on the left and one on the right -

The two moon beasts each stretched out the tentacles in front of their heads, climbed up Tiera's arms, and held Tiera down like a prisoner towards a tall peak in the center of the city——

Along the way, Tiera felt that everything was so novel and disgusting, but it made people want to take a look at it more——

From time to time, a small group of slaves dressed like those swarthy merchants would be driven off a sailing ship, and behind them would be a large group of toad-like gray, slimy creatures - some of them were officers.

, some are navigators, and some are oarsmen.

Tiera saw that creatures that looked almost the same as humans were preserved to perform tasks that did not require much effort but were more shameful, such as cooking, fetching and carrying, and communicating with the earth and other places.

People on the planet bargain. It must be very convenient for these creatures to move around on the earth, because as long as they put on clothes, carefully put on shoes and headscarves, they look no different from humans, which is enough for them to bargain in human shops without needing to

Feel any embarrassment or make any strange explanations.

Most of them wore no clothes except for those who were emaciated, weak, or riddled with disease. They were all packed in crates and dragged away in heavy wagons pulled by incredible creatures.

port.

Occasionally, Tiera also saw some other creatures being unloaded and packed into packaging boxes. Some of them were very similar to these humanoid creatures, some were not so similar, and some were not similar at all——

There is no doubt that these packed creatures will be transported inland to be eaten and enjoyed by those cruel and terrifying moon beast nobles, officers and priests——

Moon beasts are creatures that are unimaginably cruel. They only feed on living creatures, but before eating them, they spend a lot of time on torture and torture as a pastime, seeking pleasure from the pain of other creatures.

The humble joy, after they have had enough fun, they will eat the "food"——

The body and soul of "food" draw a special substance they need.

Under the escort of two moon beasts, Tiera approached the city whose appearance and smell were difficult to describe in words.

The streets of the city were hung with red lanterns, and were patrolled by slaves holding torches.

Soon, Tiera came to the end of the street, where there was a huge square. Behind the square was the mountain peak that Tiera was going to——

There is some kind of team stationed in the square——

The team included ten toad-like creatures and twenty-four human-like torchbearers - eleven on each side and one at the front and back, blocking every road leading from the square to the mountain.

When Tiera and the two-month beast escorting him approached the square——

One of the ten moon beasts stationed in the square stopped them from moving forward.

The moon beast that stopped them seemed to be an officer or a noble. Tiera saw that one of the moon beasts who escorted him was respectful to the moon beast.

The two moon beasts entangled their tentacles together and communicated for a while in this way——

Then the moon beast with a high status pointed to one of the passages guarded by humanoid slave creatures, and seemed to instruct them to enter from there.
