Chapter 376: Teasing Cats and Dogs
On the morning before Hallow's Eve, almost all students from the third year and above were in the grounds outside the gates, preparing to leave for Hogsmeade.
Harry was alone in the hall, watched by Filch like a burglar.
The entire third graders, only he who didn't hand in the application form, would naturally become the focus of Filch's attention.
Soon, Professor McGonagall came, and the team started to set off.
Harry, trying to look his usual, said farewell to Ron and Hermione in a nonchalant tone.
"Don't worry about me, see you at the banquet later, have fun."
"Stay here, Potter?"
Malfoy deliberately turned a corner, ran up to him and shouted, "Don't you dare pass those dementors?"
Harry ignored him and turned towards the marble stairs.
"Can't go to Hogsmeade, he'll miss a lot of good things..."
Fred, who was at the end of the line, looked back at his back and whispered, "He can't stay in the castle all the time these seven years, it's too boring."
"That's right." George nodded in deep agreement, "We have to help him..."
"How can I help..." Kyle next to him asked, "Give him the Marauder's Map?"
"That's a good idea, too," said Fred, "we've got all the secret passages down anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it to Harry.
"But in this way, it will not be very convenient when traveling at night..." George thought for a while, "Actually, the map made last year is also good, just add the location of the secret passage."
"However, we should keep it a little more concealed, so as not to be discovered by Filch or the professor."
"It's like the Marauder's Map... You must have a password to reveal the location."
"That's what I mean..."
Several people discussed together, and soon came to Hogsmeade Village.
When they saw the pointed roofs, Fred and George immediately forgot about Harry and headed straight for Zoko's Joke Shop.
In front of rotten eggs, burp powder and buzzer bugs... Harry?I'm so unfamiliar.
Cedric is going to Davis-Bance to buy tools for pruning broom branches, and Kyle decides to go with him.
The shopkeepers there are a pair of well-traveled brothers who can always get some new gadgets.
As for Connor and Qiu, they were more interested in Madam Puddieff's teahouse.
Several people agreed that an hour later, after the three brooms met, they separated.
Devis-Bans is at the innermost part of Hogsmeade, next to the Hog's Head pub. Compared with other shops, it looks much smaller here.
Kyle and Cedric pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside the shop, all kinds of magic items were piled high together, precarious, and looked like they might collapse at any moment.
Kyle has only seen this kind of shape in the room where things are hidden in the Room of Requirement.
"welcome……"
A blond wizard poked his head out from behind the counter, "I want to buy something..."
"Any tools for trimming broomsticks?" Cedric asked.
"Of course." The shopkeeper leaned forward and pulled out a boxy box from among the stacked magic items.
Because of his movement, the entire wall suddenly shook, and Cedric was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back.
But the shopkeeper took it easy and put the box on the counter and opened it.
"Pruning pliers nine Sickles.
"A full set of broom care tools for two Galleons, plus a bottle of wood wax oil and a portable suitcase as a gift.
"which one you want?"
"A full set of tools, it's more cost-effective..." Cedric counted out two Galleons and placed them on the counter.
"Thank you for your patronage." The shopkeeper looked at Kyle again, "So, what do you need?"
"Before that, I want to ask." Kyle pointed in the direction of the store door and asked, "Is that dog outside the door yours?"
"what?"
The shopkeeper looked up and found that there was indeed a big black dog lying outside. It was right by the door and could be seen through the glass at a glance.
"Of course not, to be honest, not many wizards would choose a big pure black dog as a pet."
The owner shook his head and said, "I think it might have come out of the Pig's Head Bar next door. The guests there are always strange, and I don't think it's strange what they bring."
When talking about this, the owner suddenly laughed.
"I remember the last time a rune snake came out. I could hear Ms. Rosmerta's screams clearly from here."
"Well... It seems that Ms. Rosmerta doesn't like snakes with three heads."
Kyle withdrew his gaze and asked as usual, "Do you have any novelties here?"
"What a coincidence you came."
The shopkeeper took out a gray bead, "The good thing I just got yesterday, the mist gem... After crushing, it will form a dense fog that cannot be blown away, and it will last for about two hours."
"Can't the Whirlwind Curse be blown away?" Kyle asked.
"Unless Mr. Dumbledore cast the Whirlwind Curse himself." The shopkeeper said half-jokingly, "otherwise you will find that the dense fog will only swirl in a specific area instead of being blown to other places .”
Kyle's eyes lit up, "How much?"
"Twenty Galleons," said the shopkeeper. "It may be a bit expensive, but this is something that only Waggadu has. We managed to get three of them."
……
After some bargaining, Kyle bought all the fog gems for 55 Galleons.
The shopkeeper only agreed to give him a discount of five Galleons, but instead gave him a pair of anti-demon glasses and a few pieces of irregular opal.
Although Kyle suspected that he just wanted to take the opportunity to clean up the unsold inventory, but don't take the free things for nothing.
Half an hour later, the two left the Davis-Bance store with a full harvest.
The black dog I saw before was still lying at the door, and a pair of gray eyes kept scanning the little wizards coming and going on the main road, as if looking for something.
When Kyle walked past it, he stopped suddenly, and then pressed his tongue against his upper teeth...
"Swish, slurp, slurp!"
Without any hesitation, the black dog subconsciously turned his head.
Sure enough, this trick is applicable to all dogs.
Kyle squatted down and raised a finger, "Sit!"
There was a humanized sarcasm on the black dog's face, he ignored him, flicked his tail and continued to lie there.
"Pfft..." Cedric covered his mouth with his hands.
He was quite against this dog just now. After all, in the magic world, the image of a big black dog is the ominous thing that all wizards avoid.
But now seeing Kyle being taunted by a dog, he still can't help laughing out... Well, it's a good dog.
Kyle didn't care, he took out a bag of dried meat, shook it in his hand, and said again: "Sit!"
This time, the black dog straightened up in an instant, with its front paws on the ground, sticking out its tongue, and staring at Kyle's hand with burning eyes.
"Roll..."
Black Dog hesitated...until Kyle opened the bag.
After smelling the strong smell of meat, it rolled on the ground without hesitation.
Kyle then tried several other passwords.
Run... Spin in circles... Stand jump... Dive through fire rings...Thomas spin...
The black dog finished them all one by one.
"Not bad, this is a reward." Kyle put the jerky in front of it, "Eat it."
"It's really smart." Cedric squatted beside him and said in surprise, "It seems to understand your words completely."
The black dog paused for a moment, but then, like a dog that had nothing to do, it began to nibble on the jerky.
