Chapter 4 The Fat Lady Is Attacked (2)

Harry obviously did not give up on the opportunity to go to Hogsmeade.

During the last transformation class, Harry decided to ask Professor McGonagall if he could go to Hogsmeade as well after class. He tried hard to figure out how to defend, but the people in front distracted Harry.

Ravend Brown seemed to be crying. Parvati Pettier put his arms around her and explained something to Simo Feinigan and Dean Thomas, both of whom looked serious.

"What happened?" At first, Yaxi thought that something was wrong with Pettier, so he quickly stepped forward with Hermione and asked anxiously.

"She received a letter from her home today," Parvati Pettier said in a whisper. "Her rabbit, Bick, was killed by a fox."

"Oh," said Hermione, "Lavend, I'm sad, too."

"I should have known it!" said Ravend Brown sadly, "Do you know what number it is?"

"Um--"

"'October 16! What you hate will happen on Friday, October 16,' do you remember? She said it right, she said it right."

Now the whole class is surrounding her, Seamo Feinigan shook her head seriously, Hermione hesitated for a moment, and then she said, "Are you sad that Bick was killed by the fox?"

"Well, it's not necessary to be killed for the fox," Ravend Brown raised his head and looked at Hermione with tears in his eyes, "but I'm really sad that it killed it!"

"Oh!" said Hermione, and she paused and asked again.

"Is Bick an old rabbit?"

"No!" Ravend Brown sobbed, "It's just a rabbit baby."

Parvati Pettier hugged Ravend Brown's shoulders tighter.

"But, then why are you sad that it died?" Hermione asked.

Parvati Pettier glared at her.

"Oh, treat it sensibly," Hermione turned to the others and said, "I mean, Bick didn't die today, right? And Ravend Brown just heard the news-" Ravend Brown cried even louder, "Didn't she hate it all the time? Now it's just shock-"

"Don't worry about Hermione, Ravend Brown," Ron yelled, "she never thought other people's pets were important."

Ron seemed to have been unpleasant to look at Hermione, but Yaxi glared at him, and the latter quickly shut up.

Yashi was not very familiar with Ravend Brown, but sisters Pettier were good friends with her, so they also stepped forward to comfort her.

At this time, Professor McGonagall came to open the door and the situation improved a little.

After class, Harry had not decided whether to ask Professor McGonagall, but she mentioned the question of going to Hogsmeade first.

"Please wait a moment." She said as the classmates were about to leave, "While you are all here, I will say that you should hand me the signature of the parents who go to Hogsmeade before Halloween. Don't forget that those who don't have forms are not allowed to visit the village."

Neville raised his hand, "Professor, ask you, I-I think I lost it-"

"Your grandmother has sent it directly to me," said Professor McGonagall. "She thinks it will be safer, okay, nothing more, you can leave."

"Go and ask her," Ron said in Harry's ear.

"Try it!" Yaxi shrugged, "You will give up!"

"Harry, ask," Ron said stubbornly.

Unsurprisingly, the final result was of course that Harry was rejected by Professor McGonagall. In order to comfort Harry, Ron said something happy.

“There is always a big meal,” Ron said, trying to make Harry happy, “you know, Halloween dinner, at night.”

"Yes!" Harry said in frustration, "It's great."

Halloween meals are usually good, but it would be even better if you could go to Hogsmeade with them the next day. Harry was obviously not satisfied with only one Halloween meal.

Dean Thomas was able to write well, and he offered to help Harry fake Uncle Vernon's signature, but because Harry had told Professor McGonagall that he had no signature, it was useless.

Ron carefully suggested that Ha use the invisible cloak, but Hermione stamped her feet and reminded Albus Dumbledore that the Spirits could see.

Percy said the most useless comforting words, "They've all been damn about Hogsmeade, but I'll tell you, Harry, it's not that magical there," he said seriously, "Okay, the candy shop is always good, but the screaming shed is simply dangerous to be honest, Harry, you're not missing anything except that."

Yaxi was not involved in comforting Harry. He was busy discussing with the Pettier sisters and Zhang Qiu that Professor Terry Lawney was a big liar.

On Halloween morning, Yaxi got up early in the morning and then took Dahei to Lupin. After they had a happy chat, Yaxi went to have breakfast alone.

Next, it's time to go to Hogsmeade.

At the exit of the lobby, Felch stood in the front door, checking the long list, looking at everyone's face suspiciously, confirming that those who were not allowed to go out did not sneak out.

"Stay here, Porter?" Draco shouted, he and Crab and Goll were lined up, "afraid of passing the Spirit?"

Harry ignored them and walked alone on the marble stairs back to the Gryffindor Tower.

It is of course a pleasant thing to go to Hogsmeade together. Although it is not Harry together, Ron and the others are not depressed for a long time, because after arriving at Hogsmeade, they see all kinds of novel shops and it is easy to forget Harry.

Yaxi accompanied Hermione Pettier sisters and Zhang Qiu, and took a good walk around Hogsmeade, such as Magic Store, Honey Duke Candy Store, Seasoning Joke Store, etc.

It was always tiring to accompany girls to go shopping. It was not until Yaxi took them to the Three Broom Bar to drink butter beer that Yaxi had free time and ran out alone. It was only two hours before he came back. He was scolded by Hermione and the others.

...

"Harry," Ron said, "we can't handle it."

A pile of brightly colored sugar fell on Harry's thighs. At dusk, Ashi and the others finally returned to the public room in Gryffindor. Their faces were all reddened by the cold wind, and it seemed that they had experienced difficult times.

"Thank you." Harry picked up a black chili candy, "How about Hogsmeade? Are you still going there?"

Various answers - went to all places. Derisonbans, a magic tool shop, Dorketke shop, and went to the Three Broom Bar to drink butter beer, in short, many places.

"The post office, Harry, has about two hundred owls sitting on the shelf, and you can choose different colors of owls based on what you want to send."

"There is a new milk candy in that Hogsmeade, and they also distribute new samples, here, look-"

"We think we saw a monster, honestly, there were all kinds of them in the three broom bar handles."

"What did you do?" Hermione said, looking a little anxious. "Have you done some homework?"

"No," said Harry, "Lupin and I were having tea in his office, and then Professor Snape came in..."

He told them all about the wine glass, Ron was wide open, and he seemed to be suspicious of Snape's attempt to murder, "Did Lupin drink?" he gasped, "Is he crazy?"

Hermione looked at the watch, "We'd better go, you know, the meal begins in five minutes." They quickly drew from the portrait of Conriga crowd, still talking about Professor Snape.

"But he—you know—" Hermione said as she looked around and said, "If he wanted to, and wanted to poison Lupin, he wouldn't do it in front of Harry."
