The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 95 Hogsmeade
It snowed heavily all night, looking out from the window, Hogwarts dotted with white and the mountains in the distance, everything looks like a fairy tale world.

It's just that there is no vicious queen and kind Snow White in this world, only a noseless old man and a scarred boy.

When Ada was still having breakfast with the twins in the auditorium, many senior students had already gathered in the school foyer. After they queued up and passed the inspection, they could go to the white-covered Hogsmeade village.

Putting down the warm vegetable soup in their hands, Ada and the twins also came out. The students in the hall were chatting and chatting, discussing whether to go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink first, or to take a casual stroll first.

The crowd in line was slowly moving forward, and Ada could already see the tall and slender Professor McGonagall, wearing an emerald green wizard robe, carefully checking the students' signatures.

The twins greeted Ada on the stairs, and Ada stopped watching, but followed the twins upstairs.The three of them came to half of the corridor on the fourth floor, where there was a statue of a one-eyed witch.

George took a look at the Marauder's Map, and then nodded to Fred. Fred drew out his wand and tapped on the one-eyed witch statue, and whispered, "Left and right are separated!"

The statue's hunched back opened, revealing a hole through which a thinner man could slip.Fred led the way in, followed by Ida, and George took one last look at the map before kicking it back into the hole.

The three of them slid a long distance on the stone ladder, and then fell to a piece of dirt, and the damp and cold air instantly surrounded them.Ada wrapped her padded cloak tightly, and adjusted the red earmuffs. This red earmuffs were a birthday present from Mrs. Weasley, and they were very warm.

The three people who had sorted out continued to move forward. After passing through a passage that looked like a giant rabbit nest, they came to the bottom of a dilapidated stone staircase. When they walked up, they saw a trapdoor. They arrived.

Fred opened the trap door and carefully observed the cellar outside. Ambrosio Froome, the boss of Honeydukes, was carrying the goods, so he didn't notice the opened trap door.

When Froome left, the three of Ada also left the cellar, mixing with the crowd who came to buy candies.

Honeydukes Candy Shop sells chocolates and other kinds of magical candies, which are very popular among teachers and students at Hogwarts. The air here is filled with the sweet smell of candies. Ida thinks this must be Dumbledore’s paradise .

Ada took some chocolates and candies from the merchandise rack, and Froome, who was broad and bald, was checking her out.Looking at the top of his lifeless head, Ida thought of Mr. Weasley, remember that Mr. Weasley was also bald?

Great Britain has its own national conditions here, and Ada can't help but start to worry about the fiery red hair on the twins' heads.

Ada and the twins walked on the road to Hogsmeade after the Duke of Bee left.The picturesque little village of huts and shops is even more beautiful after the snow, covered in white.

Hogsmeade had a lot of people coming to play on weekdays, and Hogwarts students were added today, so the streets became crowded.

There were not many people in the quill shop at Literary House, and the twins thought that anywhere in Hogsmeade village was more interesting than this place.Ada rummaged through the shelves for a long time before buying two quills, for which she paid fourteen Sickles.

When they left Wenrenju, the twins' footsteps became lighter, but Ada noticed that when the two moved, there was always a clanging sound.

Ada walked in front, and the twins followed her with shopping bags. They passed Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse. Couples were entering this small and cramped teahouse. A sweet smell came from the occasionally opened door. outgoing.The tacky lace curtains didn't even bother Ada to look inside.

The listless twins didn't come to life until they entered Zuko's joke store. They wandered between shelves one after another, carefully calculating how to buy as many joke products as possible with the money in their hands.

Ada had no interest in things like dung bombs, but she was a little interested in frog egg soap and nose-biting teacups.It would be interesting to give the soap and the teacup to Snape, but I don't know if the nose-biting teacup can go down and bite Snape's nose after seeing him.

The twins bought a bunch of stuff, more than Ada's combined, and they walked out of Zonko's joke store satisfied.

"Would you like to go to the Three Broomsticks to warm up?" Ada suggested.

The Three Broomsticks is a small bar that Hogwarts teachers and students often visit. It is a warm and comfortable place where you can drink butter beer.A curvaceous woman with striking features was standing at the door, waiting for no one.

This woman is Mrs. Rosmerta, the proprietor of the Three Broomsticks. Compared with Tom at the Leaky Cauldron, the two proprietors are alike.

Beautiful appearance and well-proportioned figure all attract young people's attention.Running a tavern, it seems that there are many stories, and the thickness of the characters is greatly increased, so that Mrs. Rosmerta is no longer a vase.

A woman like Mrs. Rosmerta is the dream lover of many Hogwarts teenagers who are just beginning to fall in love. Such a woman is far from being comparable to the young bean sprouts who are still studying.

Although a little older, there are still many boys who go to Three Broomsticks just to have a word with her when ordering and checking out.In the hearts of the boys, Mrs. Rosmerta is probably a kind-hearted aunt, or a friend of their mother with rich experience.

"No." The twins rejected Ada's proposal, shaking their heads like rattles.

Ada thinks the twins have quite good taste, and just as she was about to praise them, she heard Fred say, "It's okay to see Mrs. Rosmerta next time, but this time we'll go to another place. "

"Let's go to the Hog's Head, I hear there's everybody there," whispered George, but his eyes were still on Mrs. Rosmerta.

Ada had nothing to do with the two boys who had no desire to survive, so she could only lead the way to the Pig's Head Bar.

Walking along the main road, passing Hogsmeade's post office, some owls would fly out of it every once in a while, and then they turned into a small road next to it, and there was a small pub at the intersection.

The Hog's Head Bar, as the name suggests, has a tattered wooden signboard hanging on a rusty bracket above the door, with a picture of a chopped-off wild boar's head, blood seeping through the white cloth that wraps it.The sign creaked in the wind as they approached.

"Are you sure you want to come here?" Ada asked uncertainly, "I still like Mrs. Rosmerta's three broomsticks."

"We're sure, Hagrid said there are a lot of fun guys here." Fred pushed open the door and walked in first.

The interior of the Pig's Head Bar was small and dark, and the room was very dirty. Ada didn't know where to stay. The windows were covered with thick dirt, and the sunlight couldn't shine in at all. The only source of light in the room was the candles on the wooden table.

One or two of the people drinking here covered their faces. Everyone had weird shapes, and they didn't look like a good person at first glance.

The bar owner was standing at the bar counter, wiping the wine glass with a dirty rag, and the wine glass became more and more dirty as he wiped it.He was tall and thin with a mass of long gray hair and beard, and he didn't seem very easy going.

"What do you want?" The bar owner's attitude was not very friendly, not like a businessman.

"Excuse me, butter beer, three bottles." Fred, standing in front of the bar, said.

I saw the bar owner take out three dusty bottles from the counter. Ida paid six silver Sickles for the drink, but she had trouble getting the things again. The bottles were so dirty that there was nowhere to go.

Ada pinched the bottle cap with her thumb and index finger in disgust, picked up the beer, walked to a table in the corner that wasn't too dirty and sat down.

"It's really dirty!" Ada whispered. It's not polite to say such things in other people's shops, but she couldn't help it.

"So we prepared in advance!" Fred said with raised brows.

"Look, what is this?" George took out the things they had prepared in advance from his robe as if offering a treasure.
