Chapter 228 The trip to Hogsmeade

The next day was Saturday, and when he got out of bed and opened the curtains, Ryan was bathed in golden sunlight.

He was going to Hogsmeade today, his first trip to Hogsmeade this school year. The last few times, because he was an exchange student in Brazil, he didn't make it. This made Ryan a little excited, because he had not visited this wizarding business center comparable to Diagon Alley before, and wanted to see what was the difference between it and the previous life movie.

When he finished packing and came to the common room, he saw the excited Weasley twins and Ron. Ron, in particular, seemed to come out of the bad mood of losing his mouse too.

Because Professor Dumbledore didn't let Ryan and the others spread the matter, Ryan and Percy could only tell Ron that the mouse was temporarily borrowed by Professor Dumbledore.

After greeting each other, everyone went to the restaurant for breakfast. While Ryan was drinking milk, a large flock of owls flew over from the ceiling. It didn't take long for him to hear the surrounding discussion getting louder and louder, and at the end it was as loud as if he were in the middle of a Quidditch pitch.

what happened? Ryan looked at the classmates around curiously, when Li Jordan held up the Daily Prophet and shouted: Oh my God, Sirius was wronged. And it was the students of our college who discovered this.

What, really? Who is it? What the hell is going on? Now all the students knew about it, and they started chatting with each other.

Hey, I didn't expect it to be the rigid eldest brother in our family and you who did such a big thing. Ryan felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see that it was the Weasley brothers standing by him. behind.

It was only when Ryan took over the newspaper from the Weasley brothers that he knew what had happened. It was written in the newspaper that under the wise leadership of Minister Fudge, the Ministry of Magic had decided to clean up suspicious old cases in accordance with the law.

Amelia Burns, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, listened to the doubts reported by two Hogwarts students during a visit to Hogwarts, and finally succeeded in capturing Lord Voldemort's lackey Peter Peddie lurking in the school. Lu. And cleared Sirius Black of the crime.

In an interview this morning, Minister Fudge claimed that this was a response to the Ministry of Magic's efforts to change the shortcomings and mistakes of the past, so that the Ministry of Magic can better lead the development of the British wizarding community. At the same time, he also called on everyone to find Sirius as soon as possible, and told him that the wrong judgment of the Ministry of Magic had been corrected, and he has now regained his freedom and can obtain an apology from the Ministry of Magic.

Bad things turn into good things, and so will the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic. Ryan scoffed at the article in the Daily Prophet. However, there is some useful information in the report that follows.

Such as announcing a reward for Hogwarts students Percy and Ryan for helping, and recalling all Dementors and ending the curfew in Hogsmeade.

At least those pesky dementors are gone, which is good news, the twins said with a smile.

And Ryan also received a prompt from the system: because he changed the fate of Sirius, he got 20 offset points. It seems that the things that he did to get rid of Sirius before have really paid off.

This morning's news quickly spread throughout the school, and as he walked towards the front door after dinner, Ryan could sense that many people were looking at him.

The Book of Wizarding Monuments says that the Murakami Inn was the headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion in 1612, and that screaming shack was probably the most haunted house in England— Hermione said while waiting in line to check. I was thinking about it beside Ryan.

Okay, relax. You've been busy with the book club for a lot of time recently. You must know that the best way to do things is to combine work and rest. It's not a good idea to be busy. Lane persuaded.

Hogsmeade is a beautiful little village, and the historical sites are not as professional as Lane had imagined. Think about it too, after all, there are not that many people in the magic world.

It is estimated that few people will come to a museum that is very professional.

For example, the historically important Goblin Rebel Command in the small hotel has only a small room to restore the appearance of the past, and a small bronze plaque next to it is engraved with the beginning and end of the incident.

So these historical sights were quickly finished, and the rest of the time Ryan and two people spent visiting the entire Hogsmeade village. Dewes and Bans store, Fengya brand wizard clothing store, Wenrenju quill store, post office with hundreds of owls. Each of these places left a deep impression on them.

After a light meal at Three Broomsticks at noon and a taste of the very famous Butterbeer (everyone around was cheering for the Dementors to get out.), they followed the road in front of Three Broomsticks up a slope and came to Screaming Shack. I have to say that Butterbeer is indeed a good thing. Even if the clothes rustled on the slopes due to the high wind, they could still feel that the Butterbeer they had just drank made their bodies very warm.

The Screaming Shack was located on this small elevation slightly higher than the other houses in the village. The windows were all nailed up with planks, and the garden was damp and overgrown with weeds. Even in broad daylight, it would make one's heart tingle.

While Hermione was leaning against the fence and looking up at the haunted house, Ryan picked up a sharp stone and carved the word dog on the pillar by the garden gate of the haunted house. According to the plan discussed with Blake last time in the common room, once Ryan succeeded in clearing Blake's injustice. Then he'd carve the word on the post at the door of the Shrieking Shack, telling Black that he could reappear in the public eye.

After the engraving, Ryan and the others quickly returned to the village along the path. After all, Screaming Shack isn't much to look at from the outside. When passing by the Joko Joke Store, I can see Ron and his two twin brothers shopping for various joke products in it.

Wizards' magic may limit their imaginations, and I've never figured out what fun throwing stinky shit at each other is fun. Hermione complained as Ron and his twin brother bought a lot of shit. .

This may be the same custom as traditional Scottish men wearing plaid skirts without underwear. Lane guessed as he walked along the road, and finally, they came to the door of another store. We're here, this is the Honey Duke Candy Store. I read the student handbook that it allows us to buy candy that has no obvious magical effect after eating it for our immediate family members, and I want to buy some for my parents.

Can I bring it to my parents? Then I'll buy some, too, Hermione said.

When they entered the store, they saw shelf after shelf filled with the most fascinating candy imaginable. Huge chunks of creamy peanut candy, chunks of shimmering pink coconut sorbet, hundreds of varieties of chocolate lined up neatly, a vat of multi-flavored beans, a vat of zizi bees.

And leaning against the wall is a variety of candies with special effects: Bubble Super Bubble Gum, bizarre shards of Furry Tooth Mints, Tiny Black Pepper Pucks, Ice Mice, Cream Mints shaped like toads, Crunchy sugar quills and exploding candies.

The two spent an hour in the store, and finally returned to school with Ryan and Hermione each carrying a large bag of candy. It can be said that today's trip to Hogsmeade is full of harvest.
