Chapter 219 Journey to the Forbidden Forest 307

Feeney reluctantly took out a small leather bag and handed it to the twins.

"I made this myself. It contains a traceless stretching charm. Use it to hold these things."

George looked at Feeney very doubtfully and asked,

"Why isn't this our Christmas present?"

Feeney shrugged and said,

"This is just a defective product I made. It won't take long. When you return to Hogwarts, you'd better take out all the things inside and change their positions. Although this thing won't stop working so quickly, it still works. Be on guard."

Fred was a little excited and said to Feeney,

"Thank you, but if you have time, you can teach me how to make this."

After all, not everything can be cast with the Seamless Stretching Charm, and the small leather bag in front of him was obviously specially made, so Fred was very coveted for this technology.

Feeney smiled and nodded in agreement.

After putting the bunch of prank props into his bag, he walked into the Honeydukes Candy Shop, which was just one house away.

Because of Christmas, even though the twins had just bought a lot of prank props at Zuko's Joke Shop and took out almost all their usual change, they still had some change in their hands at this time.

As soon as you walk into Honeydukes Candy Shop, you can feel the scent of buttercream hitting you.

Looking around, various candies and snacks are slowly being placed on the many shelves in the certificate shop.

Because he wanted to please Dumbledore in the early years, Finny actually obviously owns shares in this candy store. In other words, this is actually his store, but he has never been here in person before. They are all ordered directly through the product list.

George stood next to Feeney, put his hand on his shoulder, pointed at a product next to him and said with a smile,

"This is sour popping candy. It's very sour. Although I won't touch it, it's quite interesting."

Feeney turned to look at George and motioned for him to tell the story.

Apparently the twins had bought this thing before and done something with it,

Fred smiled and said,

"I bought one for Ron before,"

George opened his mouth and continued,

"Then he burned a hole in his tongue, so Mom beat us up with a broomstick."

Feeney smiled and said to George,

"Then you are really unlucky. It obviously has nothing to do with you."

Fred said in protest,

"That was obviously your idea!"

George said innocently,

"I was just talking, I didn't think you would actually buy it back,"

Looking at the unrepentant twins, Feeney sighed and secretly made a mental note of the so-called sour popping candy. He then contacted the staff at Honeydukes Candy Shop to ask if it really had such an effect, and How are the sales of this thing?

Thinking like this, Feeney discovered a very interesting candy that he had tried before.

They were little mice of various colors, crawling back and forth on the plastic board hanging them like living mice. Their names are ice mice, a candy similar to Muggle popsicles. When you eat it, you will feel... It is very cold and makes a squeaking sound inside. Eating this kind of candy in the hot summer is not only fun, but also a great enjoyment.

Feeney didn't take too many things, but just picked up two boxes of chocolate frogs. It's good to keep some of these things. After all, they are chocolates, and they can replenish energy at critical moments.

Ignoring the twins who were fighting around, Feeney took the two boxes of things and walked to the counter.

Standing behind the counter was a woman with a smile. Coincidentally, she was the saleswoman who sold food on the Hogwarts Express.

"Meet again ma'am."

Feeney smiled and greeted her,

As the owner of the Honeydukes candy store, she naturally knew Feeney's identity, so she was very surprised when she saw Feeney appear in the store.

Feeney smiled and said,

“Come over with friends to get some candy during the holidays, that’s them.”

As he said this, Feeney pointed at the twins who were still fighting.

"I'll make it cheaper for them in a while, and the specific money will be deducted from my part."

Feeney has never been to Honeydukes Candy Store's share dividends, and has been used to buy his and Dumbledore's daily candies.

Although it is his own store, you still need to pay to buy things, and Feeney is equivalent to putting money in the store in advance.

The lady nodded, indicating that she understood.

Feeney continued to ask,

"Any new products to recommend recently?"

The lady smiled and pointed to a jar of candy next to her and said,

"Explosive gummy candies are very popular among students recently. They will explode slightly when you bite them. Of course, no one will be hurt."

As she said this, she took out one and handed it to Feeney.

"Taste it?"

Feeney found the gummy candy, put it in his mouth and took a bite. Sure enough, the candy made a slight explosion in his mouth. The orange-flavored jam filling in the gummy candy filled the entire mouth under the action of the explosion. The taste was very good. The taste is also very good,

In addition to being delicious, the candies in Honeydukes Candy Shop also have some mischievous attributes. Of course, these joke attributes are mostly designed to make the candies taste better.

He randomly took a few pills and put them in his mouth, chewed them, and asked,

"By the way, I just saw the sour popping candy sold at the door. My friend said that it can burn a hole in a person's tongue. Is that true? How are the sales?"

The lady smiled and said,

"Then they must have only eaten that kind of candy alone. The sour popping candy should be eaten together with the small candy bar next to it. We will remind customers of this when selling this kind of candy. As for sales, , although it is not as popular as some popular candies, it is still good.”

Feeney nodded and said.

"That's good, um, then you can send some candies to Hogwarts. Chocolate frogs, piles of cockroaches, and whole gummies are also good. Well, I also want some ice mice, and a few bloody lollipops, although I hate vampires, but the candy specially developed for them tastes good. Oh, and I also want some fruit preserves, especially orange and apple ones.”

The lady took out a pen and paper when Feeney spoke, and nodded to show that she understood.

When Finny and the twins left the candy store, he didn't take many candies. What he had in his hands were snacks for the road.

As a result, the twins bought a lot of candies after learning that Feeney had shares in Honeydukes. Although they would not borrow money from Feeney, they would still take advantage of such a small advantage that did not harm Feeney's interests. Of course, the premise is that they know that Feeney doesn't care about what they do,

Since only the three of them came to Hogsmeade to hang out, they didn't go anywhere else. After Finny visited the bookstore in Hogsmeade, he took a carriage back to Hogwarts.

When they returned to the castle, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them had been shopping in Hogsmeade for several hours. They all felt very tired at this time. They did not go to the auditorium and went directly to the eighth floor. The Room of Requirement,

When I got in, I lay down on the bed and didn't want to move.

Sometimes, Finny really feels that he needs to put a few more beds in the bedroom of the Room of Requirement, otherwise they will just be on the floor after every party. Although the floor is not cold because of the fireplace and magic, It's so tiring to carry that.

The efficiency of Honeydukes Candy Store has always been very high. In addition, it has also come time to mail candies to Feeny on a regular basis.

Not long after the three of them came back, Popsicle, Feeny's fish-legged owl, delivered the candy to the auditorium, and then Puff delivered it to the Room of Requirement.

Because the space in the Room of Requirement is uncertain, even if Feeney's bedroom has a window at this time, the owls can't find it. This was also the case during the previous Christmas, when Feeney's Christmas gifts were all given to bubbles. The reason why Fu sent it here.

The house elf guard led by Puff moves quickly and has sufficient combat effectiveness. Even though Puff has to return to Hogwarts every night to help Finny handle some things, such as delivering certain items to the Room of Requirement, or Communicating back and forth with Lisa and others cannot be done using an owl.

Even though Puff was wasting some time every day, at the beginning of January and before the end of the Christmas holiday, he cleared out the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest that was hostile to the house elves.

Although this was equivalent to the loss of many lives, and such large-scale killings were just like the actions of a dark wizard, Feeney did not care.

After all, centaurs are not humans or wizards. They are just humanoid animals with command. In the eyes of Feeney and the pure-blood wizards in the magical world, such creatures cooperate with the wizards, that is Friendly ones that can be retained. Once they choose to go against the wizard, the end will be like this. They will be cleared away without mercy or reason.

When setting off, Feeney did not inform the twins;

After all, they are normal little wizards. Being from the Weasley family, they will not be exposed to the true darkness of the magical world. They will not understand the cold-blooded treatment of non-human creatures by pure-blood wizards.

Under such circumstances, Finny would naturally not let them know that he had completely wiped a tribe of centaurs from the world for a specious clue to the Hufflepuff treasure, causing such a large-scale killing.

Feeney did not walk into the Forbidden Forest as usual, but directly asked Puff to send him to the centaur tribe that had been cleared and quieted.

As analyzed before, walking directly from the border of the Forbidden Forest to the centaur tribe, not to mention the distance and the time required to walk, is the danger in the Forbidden Forest, which is enough for Finny to drink A pot of it.

Even a legendary wizard would not easily enter the Forbidden Forest alone, let alone Fini, who has not even reached the level of a great wizard.

It was very quiet in the Forbidden Forest, especially at night. It was even more so quiet that it made people feel timid. The cold wind blew through the forest, which made Finny shiver and had to cast a spell on himself. Make sure you don't feel the cold weather.

"Damn it, I should have come during the day."

Feeney said harshly to himself,

Puff stood beside him, never letting go of his hands, doing his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a house elf and bodyguard.

One person and one family raising elves walked forward along the faint path in the forest,

This path, which is made of soil and occasionally has one or two weeds, looks like an animal trail at first glance. Looking at the horse hoof marks on the ground, it should be opened by the centaurs in the centaur tribe.

Of course, Feeney couldn't see the soil at this time, and could only vaguely see some weeds that were not completely dead.

And because of the battle between the centaur and Puff not long ago, the snow covering this trail has also been trampled much firmer.

However, walking is still a bit difficult, and you may insert your boots into the snow if you are not careful.

Under the leadership of Puff, Feeney moved forward with difficulty and slowly came to the centaur tribe that had been emptied.

This is an open space. The trees in it have been cut down by the centaurs, and the open space has just appeared.

The open space is surrounded by a tall fence made of logs.

In front of Feeney is the entrance to this fence, which is also the gate of this centaur tribe.

There are two sturdy watchtowers on both sides of the gate. Perhaps due to the special physiological results of the horse people, the two watchtowers are not high, and the people walking up and down are not ladders but steps, and they are also very large. steps.

The people standing on the two watchtowers at this time are naturally not centaurs. After all, they have been exterminated. At this time, the people standing on the two watchtowers are members of Finny's house elf guard. They are guarding This place is valued by their owners.

Seeing Feeney's arrival, the house elves in the tribe stopped their movements to clean up the tribe and bowed to him.

At this time, among the tribes, the snow on the ground had been dyed red due to the battles in the past two days, and these house elves were cleaning up the snow on the ground, as well as the corpses of the killed centaurs.

Obviously they didn't expect that Finny would come today, so the tribe was not completely cleaned up. Of course, Finny wouldn't care about this. After all, this is just an overused place.

If it weren't for the fact that this tribe was very close to several locations that Feeney suspected, and was still in the center, as well as the undying hatred between them and the house elves, Feeney would really not be willing to simply let a tribe completely disappeared from history.

"Go on, don't worry about me."

Feeney waved his hand casually, and under the leadership of Puff, he came to the tribe leader's room and took a short rest.
