Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Latest website: To be honest, this is not the first time Clark has come to Hogsmeade.

As a pure-blood wizard, he has been here a long time ago. Even when the "Hogwarts School Journal" was first founded, he came here to find merchants to promote the advertising columns in the school magazine.

After seeing it too much, this wizard village, which is particularly novel to ordinary little wizards, seems ordinary and even a little backward.

After all, it is just a small village where dozens or hundreds of people live, plus a few small shops serving school students.

In other words, the students' money is easy to earn, making these shops very profitable.

Yes, they must have made a lot of money, at least that was the case at Honeydukes, the first stop for Clark and his friends.

As a candy and snack shop that is famous among little wizards, it is just like the stall selling non-staple food at the school gate. Its attraction to little wizards far exceeds any course in the school.

The small shop was so crowded with Hogwarts students that it was difficult to even move. The shelves against the walls on both sides were filled with the most fascinating candies imaginable.

Large chunks of creamy yellow peanut almond candy, sparkling pink coconut sorbet, neatly arranged various chocolates, a large bucket of delicious multi-flavor beans, and a large bucket of sticky sizzling bees. Sugar, and that sherbet drink Ron mentioned that makes people float in the air.

Placed along another wall are various candies with "special effects":

Blowing Super Bubble Gum, if you eat it, you can blow bubbles in the color of blue bellflowers. These bubbles will not burst for several days and can fill your room, making it full of dreamy colors;

The strange fragment-shaped furry tooth mints not only do not cause tooth decay, but their unique ingredients can also repair your teeth and make them smooth and shiny;

The small black pepper naughty one has so much firepower that it can make your friends breathe fire out of their noses;

The ice mice are so vivid that you can hear your teeth chattering and crunching when you eat them!

There are also cream mints shaped like toads that actually beat in your stomach, sugar quills that are crunchy and can be eaten in class, and gummy candies that explode.

"Get another box of jelly slugs, honey,

They are almost buying out our inventory..."

Anyway, listening to the voice of the proprietress, you will know how popular this store's business is.

"What should we bring Harry?" Ron squeezed into the crowd, Clark and others followed behind him.

"How about this? A sherbet drink that makes people float in the air." Neville pointed to the bottle on the shelf.

"I think this one will work too. The little black pepper naughty boy that makes people breathe fire. When the weather gets cold, this one can just warm up the body, especially during Quidditch training." Clark gave his opinion.

They pushed their way through a crowd of sixth graders and saw two signs hanging in the far corner of the store: "Unusual Flavors" and "Clearout Deal."

"We didn't have this last time we came here!" Ron said in surprise.

They walked under the signboard, and there weren't many people here.

"Well, no, I don't think Harry will want it. It might be for vampires." Hermione looked at the plate of bloody lollipops.

"How about this?" Ron shoved another can of huddled cockroaches under their noses.

"Definitely not."

A voice that could never appear here came from behind them, and Ron almost dropped the jar.

"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed in a low voice.

"What are you doing here? Why - is it you?" She looked at Clark.

"Wow!" Ron also shouted, "You learned how to hide!"

"Of course I didn't." Harry lowered his voice so that the sixth graders wouldn't hear. "It was Clark. He lent me a 'Marauder's Map' and I sneaked out through the tunnel above."

Clark nodded and told them about the Marauder's Map in detail.

"How come Fred and George never told me?" Ron was furious, "I'm their brother!"

"Perhaps they think you are too disciplined and don't have the guts to use this map to violate school rules." Hermione joked, "But in this case, wouldn't Black also be able to use a passage on this map to enter the castle? inside?"

Clark mentally praised Hermione's mind, she could always sense the crux of the problem.

In this regard, Harry and Ron took more chances.

"Then what should we do?" Ron glared at Hermione, "Give such a good thing to the teacher?"

"There's no way he could have come in through those passages!" Harry said quickly.

“There are seven secret passages on the map, right?

Fred and George estimated that Filch might have known about four of them, and the other three - one had collapsed and no one could enter that way; one had the whomping willow planted at its entrance; it was completely impassable. ; As for the one I just walked through - well - it's really hard to see where the entrance is in the cellar - so unless he knows there is this secret passage - "

At this point, Harry hesitated. What if Black did know that there was this secret passage?

However, Ron cleared his throat seriously and pointed to a notice posted on the door of the candy store:

By order of the Ministry of Magic, patrons are reminded that dementors will be patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade after sunset every day until further notice. This move is purely for the safety of the residents of Hogsmeade. It will be canceled when Sirius Black is captured again. We hope that all customers will complete their purchases before evening.

"Did you see it?" Ron said calmly, "There are dementors everywhere here. I just want to see how brave Black is to break into the candy store in this situation. Anyway, Hermione, candy The store owner always hears people breaking in, right? They live in the attic of the candy store."

"Okay, this may be Harry's last and only time to come to Hogsmeade Village." Clark's words had the final say, "Besides, with the three of us here, even if Black does come, it won't be easy." Not good enough!”

"That's true." Hermione chuckled, and Neville nodded.

Since they changed jobs and adapted to the new power system, they have become particularly confident.

"But Harry didn't hand in the signed application form, which is also a problem, so it's best not to let anyone see it, especially Malfoy and the others. Didn't I ask you to wear the invisibility cloak?" Clark said again ask.

"Of course I brought it." Harry opened a corner of his robe, revealing the transparent treasure underneath, "It's just that there are too many people here, and I'm afraid of bumping into others."

Gu Shi

"Oh, it won't be easy for them to find Harry here," Ron said, raising his chin towards the heavy snow falling outside the window, "Clark, Christmas is coming soon, Harry should relax a bit."

"Okay, okay, pretend I didn't say anything." Clark raised his hands, stopped talking about it, and turned to look at the candies with Hermione and the others.

Ron also grabbed Harry and led him to the big barrel.

"See that sizzling bees, Harry?

And those jelly slugs, those were sour pops, Fred gave me one when I was seven, and they just burned a hole in my tongue, and I remember my mom hitting it with a broom Fred…”

A few people just walked around the store, selected their favorite products, paid the bill, and then left the candy store and walked outside into the snowstorm.

Walking along the snow-covered path, they saw the snowy scene of Hogsmeade for the first time.

The whole little village looked like a Christmas card: the huts and shops were covered with a layer of crunchy snow, and there were holly wreaths on every door, and strings of enchanted candles. Hanging from the tree.

Of course, it seems that because they received the news in advance that Hogwarts Fire Dragon Park is about to open, Hogsmeade today does not look as lively as in previous years.

"Where are you?"

The group of them walked on the road, heads lowered to resist the cold wind. Harry followed behind wearing an invisibility cloak. He could see nothing but a series of footprints. This also caused Ron to keep asking questions, " Are you still here, Harry? This feels so weird..."

Harry could only touch Ron's back with his hand to indicate that he was indeed following.

Several people passed the post office next and went in to take a look.

Although they had been here last time, Ron and the others still pretended to be looking at how much it would cost to send an owl to Egypt, so that Harry could have time to look around.

But there's actually nothing unusual here, just some owls sitting there, hooting at them in a low voice.

There are perhaps two to three hundred of these owls, ranging from great gray falcons to miniature bards ("local delivery only").

They all sit on color-coded shelves for you to choose from, and which one you choose depends on how quickly you want your mail to reach its destination.

After teasing an owl that was small enough to sit on the palm of their hand, they went out and went to Zuko's Magic Joke Shop.

Apart from Honeydukes Candy Shop, it's the favorite place for students at Hogwarts to visit.

The store sells materials for jokes and pranks, including "dung bombs," "burp candy," "frog egg soap" and "nose-biting teacups."

Harry was cautious, fearing that his invisible self would step on others and cause panic, but he also whispered instructions to Ron and handed Ron some Galleons from under the invisibility cloak, asking him to help him purchase things.

Just like that, when they left Zuko, their wallets were much lighter than when they entered the store.

After leaving the shop for a while, Ron chattered his teeth and said, "I said, how about we go to the Three Broomsticks and have a cup of butterbeer?"

Clark and the others were just what they were looking for. The cold wind was biting and their hands were almost frozen.

So a few people crossed the road, and a few minutes later, they got into the small bar in the alley.

The bar was extremely crowded and noisy, and the hot fireplace filled the room with smoke.

A young woman with an iconic appearance, a graceful figure, and full curves was greeting a group of noisy wizards in front of the bar.

"That's Ms. Rosmerta." Ron volunteered, "I'll get a drink."

After saying that, he walked over with a blushing face. Neville was afraid that he would be too busy, so he followed him.

Clark, Hermione, and Harry squeezed into the innermost corner of the bar. Between the window and a beautiful Christmas tree, there was an empty table big enough for five people, right next to the fireplace.

Five minutes later, Ron and the others returned, carrying five glasses of hot, frothy butterbeer.

It's not right to say that this thing is beer, because it doesn't contain alcohol at all, it just looks like beer.

After all, it is opened near a school and dares to sell alcoholic drinks to minors. The owner of this store, Ms. Rosmerta, does not have the courage. Aberforth Dumbledore, the owner of the Pig's Head Bar, is about the same.

Besides, it’s not mulled wine. The taste of beer heated directly is really hard to describe!

"Merry Christmas!"

Ron, who sat down, raised his glass and said happily.

Clark took a sip, and a sweet feeling instantly spread in his mouth. Well, there was cream, butter, brown sugar...

The dense texture on the top should be caramel milk cap made with brown sugar syrup and whipped cream, and the pungent, exploding sensation coming from the tip of the tongue below should taste like soda sparkling water.

It's a pity that this thing is heated. If it were iced, the flavor would be more unique.

Several people were sipping drinks to warm themselves up. Suddenly, a gust of cool wind ruffled their hair.

The door to the Three Broomsticks was pushed open. Clark looked over the rim of the glass and saw Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick walking into the bar side by side in a gust of wind and snow.

Behind them was the tall and conspicuous Hagrid, who was having an intimate conversation with a fat man.

The fat man wore a dark yellow-green bowler hat and a pinstriped cloak. Clark recognized him at a glance. He was the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Of course, Ron and others also noticed this, and hurriedly took out the invisibility cloak from Harry's body, and pushed his head under the table, while not forgetting to put the invisibility cloak on his head.

With butterbeer dripping from his lips and an invisibility cloak on his head, Harry squatted where no one could see him, holding an empty wine glass in his hand. He watched the teachers and Fudge walking towards the bar, stopped, then turned on his heels and walked towards them. Come this way.

Clark waved his hand and activated his psychic power of [Controlling Small Objects], raising the Christmas tree next to their table slightly from the ground, then drifting to the side and landing gently in front of their table, just in time to lift them a few inches. Everyone is covered.

Because of the dense branches of the Christmas tree, they couldn't see what was going on next door, but they could hear the sound of the four chairs at the adjacent table being pulled back, and then the grunts and sighs of the teachers and Fudge as they took their seats.

Immediately afterwards, Ms. Rosmerta's highly identifiable high-heeled shoes made a crisp "ta-ta-da" sound on the floor, almost at the same time as her question.
