Chapter 359 Honeydukes Cellar
Everyone talked all the way and finally arrived at Hogsmeade. This time the boys did not go to the Three Broomsticks pub, but swarmed to Honeydukes.
"Grandpa Ambrosio! Grandma Froome! Hello, meow!"
(?ΦwΦ?)?
As soon as Fish entered the door, he greeted the Vrooms loudly.
"Hey, it's Xiao Feixu, come and let grandma take a look at you."
Mrs. Vroom, who had a chubby and kind face, left her busy work and hurried over to meet Fish. She hugged Fish and kissed him hard on the cheek twice.
"Last time you came here, grandma was not there. What a pity! When you were in school, did you have enough candy to eat? If not, grandma would send you some every once in a while..."
Mrs. Froome touched Fish's head, then took his hand, talked nonstop, and led him towards the back of the store.
Hermione and others looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders and went about picking candies.
"What do you want to eat, Fei Xu? Grandma will get it for you."
Arriving at the back of the shop, Mrs. Vroom let go of Fish's hand, and then asked with a smile.
(`w′≡`w′)
The little cat shook his head, took out a handful of coins from his pocket, handed it to Mrs. Froome, and said seriously: "Fish came here today to buy candies. Fish wants to give them to his friends."
Prepare Christmas gifts, more than 400 of them, meow!”
(?ΦwΦ?)?
"Grandma, please help Fei Xu to see how he can buy four hundred and thirty-seven portions of candy with this money?"
"Four hundred and thirty-seven copies..."
Mrs. Froom twitched her lips. With such an exaggerated amount, no matter how much she doted on Fish, she couldn't really give it all to him.
So she took the pile of coins from Fish's hand and counted them carefully.
"How many candies are you going to give everyone?"
Honeydukes has specially prepared gift boxes for Christmas, which are divided into three types: large, medium and small.
Of course, no matter which one it is, the money in Fish's hand is definitely not enough. If it is just a small gift box, Mrs. Frum gritted her teeth and can still sell it to Fish, but if Fish wants to give a medium-sized gift box
Or a large gift box, then there is nothing she can do about it.
However, Mrs. Froome did not intend to refuse Fish's order, but was thinking of settling the final payment with Professor McGonagall later...
In the past, when Fisch got into trouble in the village, everyone did the same thing.
Anyway, they were reluctant to blame Fish, so it was better to leave the headache to Professor McGonagall for educating the cats.
Although Fish has no idea about money, he is still very good at arithmetic. He knows that he can't afford any kind of gift box with the money, so he said: "Just buy as much as you can. Hermione said that gifts are the most thoughtful."
Importantly, all this money was earned by Fei Xu himself. Grandma, please don’t give Fei Xu candies as well, it’s really not easy to make money.”
(??v?v??)
The little cat said with emotion.
"Fish, you are so sensible!" Mrs. Frum hugged Fish in surprise and kissed her hard. "Grandma will definitely give you the best price. Don't worry, we won't lose money."
Of course, she didn't intend to make any money, so she directly gave Fei Xu a cost price.
Mrs. Froom let go of Fish, and then shouted to Mr. Froom in front of her at the top of her lungs: "Honey, come here quickly! Fish has a lot to buy! Put other things aside first!"
"Here we come! Children, please help yourself and just put the money on the counter. I have to go to the back first."
Mr. Froome, who had a broad body, immediately dropped what he was doing and ran to the back.
This kind of thing was already familiar to everyone when they returned to Hogsmeade, so the other students who were shopping did not complain. Instead, they calculated the prices of the goods they wanted to buy as Mr. Frum said.
Put the money directly on the counter.
The Frooms took Fish to the cellar, took out various candies from the crates here, then unpacked the boxes and reassembled them with small colorful paper boxes.
and package it.
After Fish watched how to put it together for a while, he also packed it up with them.
While the three of them were busy, Fish's cat ears suddenly turned to his side and back, followed by Fish's head.
"Meow?!"
(?ΦwΦ?)?
Fish stared intently at the shadow at the side and behind, his ears raised high and pointed in that direction.
"What's the matter, Fish?" asked Mrs. Froome.
"Down there in that direction, there was the sound of someone moving, meow...and it's getting closer and closer..."
Fish pointed to the dark corner deep in the cellar and replied.
Naturally, the two of them would not have any doubts about Fei Xu's statement, and...
Mr. Frum, who often moved goods in the cellar, had actually discovered this secret passage hidden in the cellar many years ago, but all this time, he thought that it was only him and Mrs. Froom who she told him about.
Only people know this secret passage.
It's just that they don't use this secret passage at all, so they forgot it over time. Now after Fei Xu reminded them, the couple quickly recalled it.
"That place..." Mr. Flume was stunned for a moment, touched his bald head, and said, "There is indeed a secret passage that leads directly to the hunchback of the one-eyed witch statue on the third floor of Hogwarts..."
And Fish didn't know about this secret passage, because to enter the secret passage from Hogwarts, you need to tap the statue of the hunchbacked one-eyed witch with your wand and say the "separate left and right" spell.
After explaining the situation of this secret passage to Fish, Mr. Frum's expression suddenly became serious, because he just suddenly thought of a possibility...
"My dear, please take Fish and leave first. The person coming is most likely Sirius Black!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He quickly took out his wand from his arms and shouted loudly to Mrs. Froome.
Mr. Frum had also heard the students in the store mention the fact that Black sneaked into Hogwarts and destroyed the portrait in the Gryffindor dormitory. In addition, Dementors are always there recently.
People were wandering around the village, trying to hunt down Blake, so he naturally thought of him...
Normal students and professors who want to come to Hogsmeade don't need to take the secret passage at all. Although they may be first- and second-year students, the chance that they will know this secret passage is really low.
So after much deliberation, only Sirius Black is the most likely.
Mr. Froome has also been to the passage under the cellar. The passage inside is very long. Even if there are hundreds of people hiding in it, let alone one person, it is not a problem. Moreover, one end of the passage leads directly to his cellar, and even food is a problem.
can be easily solved.
That is to say, he was worried that some lucky student would come, so Mr. Frum did not immediately notify those pesky dementors.
"Fish wants to stay and help meow! Fish also wants to get the bounty!"
?(?ΦДΦ?)?
How could the little cat let go of this opportunity? He rejected Mr. Froome's proposal without hesitation.
Mrs. Flume also took out her wand and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Fish, this little guy is a troublemaker who can give both Minerva and Professor Dumbledore headaches, and... in
When you were in school, your dueling skills were not as good as mine."
Mr. Froome smiled awkwardly, and no longer pressed, but silently tightened his wand.
Anyway, there was a large group of students above the cellar. As soon as something went wrong, he would immediately cast a loudspeaker spell and shout, asking them to notify other professors and dementors.
"It's coming out soon, meow," Fish said softly to Mr. and Mrs. Frum, "Let's find a place to ambush first."
He gestured to the couple, then quickly transformed into the form of a clouded leopard, jumped up lightly onto a shelf, lowered himself, and stared condescendingly at the one pointed out by Mr. Vroom, which was almost the same as an ordinary floor tile.
Trap door.
The Frums also hid behind different shelves, holding their wands nervously, ready to take action at any time.
Harry wore the invisibility cloak his father left for him and walked for a long time in the winding and easily tumbled passage. It was so long that he began to pant, and then he came to the bottom of a dilapidated stone staircase that went all the way.
Extending beyond sight above.
After calming down for a while, Harry mustered up his energy and began to climb up, being careful not to make any noise.
After climbing hundreds of steps, Harry, who was already a little dizzy, bumped into a trap door with a thud.
He rubbed his head, put his ear to the trap door and listened carefully.
After confirming that he couldn't hear any sounds from above, he slowly pushed open the trap door and peeked inside from the door.
This is a cellar, filled with crates and other wooden boxes. There are also a lot of snacks and colorful paper boxes scattered on the floor not far away. The sweet smell pours into the passage from the gap that Harry pushed open.
, making him swallow involuntarily.
Harry no longer hesitated and quickly climbed up from the passage, then turned around and closed the trap door...
However, at this moment, a black figure suddenly jumped down from the shelf next to him and rushed toward Harry Potter.
"Ouch——!"
