Chapter 130 Name
This shop is quite popular among Hogwarts students.
"This is where I came in. In the cellar of this store there is a trap door and a secret passage leading directly to Hogwarts."
In the ears of Hermione and Ron, Harry explained why he was able to be here.
Mrs. Puddifu's Teahouse, this is a small and cramped teahouse. Everything inside is decorated with tacky lace, even the small round table.The shop is on a corner of the main road.The shop owner uses a very strange hanging ornament as a Valentine's Day decoration (from time to time there is a fat golden angel throwing candies to people).
However, it was not yet time for afternoon tea, so the three of them just looked at it and moved on to the next goal.
The post office is the largest external contact location besides the Owl Room at Hogwarts. There are at least 200 owls to choose from, ranging from great gray falcons to miniature bards (local delivery only).They all sit on color-coded shelves for you to choose from, and which one you choose depends on how quickly you want your mail to reach its destination.
"Oh! It's Wenrenju Quill Shop. I've always wanted to come here to buy a suitable quill pen. Let's come in and have a look."
Hermione led the two boys into the shop. The cabinet was full of quills of various colors neatly arranged. Although Qin Ziyun had never been stingy with Hermione, such a quill was not worth mentioning to him. , but Harry is treating him today, so in addition to the candies given by Harry, it is a good choice to buy him a real treat.
Soon, Hermione fell in love with a black and gold pheasant quill pen, which she would originally have bought two years later.
Harry was very happy that his friends were able to make a choice. After all, they had agreed to give each of them a gift. Those candies were just incidental. It was quite appropriate to give Hermione a quill as a gift.
Compared to people like Hermione who like to learn and buy quills, both Ron and Harry prefer those funny items.
Zuko's Magic Joke Shop is a favorite place for Hogwarts students.
Here they sell props that even George and Fred could only dream of making, such as dung bombs, burping candy, frog egg soap, and nose-biting teacups. However, the anti-piracy spells on these props are too strict. Although they have not been able to learn these Regarding the production of props, the two brothers already have a deep understanding of the anti-piracy curse. In the future, their hundred props will also be equipped with the anti-piracy curse.
In addition, Zuko's Magic Joke Shop also sells various materials. In fact, this store is a toy store on the surface, but it is actually an alchemy shop. Selling already made props and materials is their way to make money.
In addition to these shops, there are also some smaller stores and the only bar in Hogsmeade.
The Three Broomsticks Pub and the Hog's Head Pub, the former is a small bar often visited by Hogwarts students.
It's a warm, cozy, wonderful place to drink butterbeer, although they also serve lemonade, mulled mead, red wine, and even cherry juice and soda with ice and a soda.
The owner of this shop is Ms. Rosmerta, a woman who drinks love potion like water.
In fact, she was not beautiful, but even Ron was obsessed with her and would look at this woman every time he went there.
Qin Ziyun only took one look and was able to confirm that Ms. Rosmerta relied on love potions to attract customers.
It is really difficult for a woman of this age, but her business is good, and in addition to her own efforts, she also relies on the support of her peers.
The Hog's Head Bar is famous for being narrow and dirty. The centuries-old windows are covered with thick dirt and light can barely come in. Some candles are lit on the rough wooden tables.Almost everything here is dirty, from the floor to the roof, even the butterbeer bottles are covered in a thick layer of dust.There was only one small, dirty room in the entire tavern, and the air was filled with a strong smell that might have been mutton.
However, compared to the Three Broomsticks, not only is it dirtier and cheaper, it also attracts more interesting and eccentric guests.At the Hog's Head, it seems to be fashionable to hide your face, wear a hood or a veil.
Just the year before last, Hagrid had played cards with a hooded stranger, Quirrell, and won a dragon egg.
"It is not against the school rules of Hogwarts to enter the Pig's Head Bar, but we'd better bring our own cups with us. Before departure, Professor Flitwick repeatedly reminded all Ravenclaws to bring their own cups to the Pig's Head Bar. , you don’t want to use the cups provided by the bar.”
Hermione looked at the Boar's Head Bar with a look of disgust. The boar's head hanging on the door had long been dried. The dirty appearance showed the style of the bar. Maybe except for the flowing wine, there was nothing clean inside.
Harry confesses to two friends that he was able to sneak out of Hogwarts, the secret of the Marauder's Map.
"Harry! You should be careful. If you are discovered, you will have to hand in your copy of the Marauder's Map, and maybe even the invisibility cloak."
Hermione immediately reminded Harry to be careful not to be exposed from under the invisibility cloak, and immediately stuffed the Marauder's Map he had just shown back under the invisibility cloak.
"Hello! Ms. Rosmerta, it seems your business is good."
Minister of Magic Fudge wore a warm coat and arrived at the Three Broomsticks on a sleigh.
"If the Minister had not sent Dementors, then my business here would be better. They would come to patrol the bar every night, causing me to have fewer customers."
Ms. Rosmerta will not give face to the Minister of Magic, why is the dementor affecting her business!
"That's because we had a murderer on the run, Sirius Black, hiding in Hogsmeade."
Minister Fudge explained helplessly. After all, the landlady in front of him was so charming, and it didn't matter if she showed off her tone a little.
"What can a criminal do in Hogsmeade?"
Ms. Rosmerta continued to ask, because the dementors had affected her business, and the dementors came for Sirius Black, so the source of the impact on the business became Sirius Black.
"We think he's here for Harry Potter."
Professor McGonagall showed up with Hagrid. Apparently they had made an appointment with the Minister of Magic Fudge to meet at the Three Broomsticks pub.
Harry was standing not far away wearing an invisibility cloak. The words of the Minister of Magic and the others made it impossible for him to remain unmoved.
While Hermione and Ron were stunned, Harry was already striding towards the Three Broomsticks pub.
"Hey! The bar is closed to minors today. Close the door quickly. The cold wind is blowing in."
A row of shrunken skulls hanging at the door shouted to Hermione and Ron who were following them, not noticing that Harry had slipped in.
"No one is going to come to this bar that scares them too much!"
Ms. Rosmerta took the Minister of Magic Fudge and Professor McGonagall all the way up to the second floor. She kept complaining that her business had been affected, but Cornelius Fudge looked at the bar and it could be said that it was full of seats. , there is no sign of bad business at all.
Harry pushed open the door to the room upstairs and stood quietly in a corner away from the people in the room.
The 'disappear' effect caused everyone present to ignore the automatic opening and closing of the door just now.
"Now, please tell me what happened?"
Ms. Rosmerta looked a little reluctant and believed that she would soon ask for compensation from the Ministry of Magic.
"Let me explain it first!" Professor McGonagall took off her scarf and put it on the back of the chair. "Many years ago, when Harry Potter's parents realized that they would be hunted by Voldemort, they remembered that there were only a few children at that time. Someone knows where they are hiding, and one of them is Sirius Black."
"You mean that Sirius Black told the Dark Lord the Potters' hiding place?"
Ms. Rosmerta couldn't believe it. After all, the Gang of Four was still very famous at that time.
"That night, Black not only took the Dark Lord to find the Potter family, but also killed their friend Peter Pettigrew."
Cornelius Fudge added, though it was hard to tell from his expression what he meant.
"Who is Peter Pettigrew?"
All right!Ms. Rosmerta acted as a cool voice, but this was also the question Harry wanted to know.
"It's the shortest boy among their four friends, the one who always follows Blake."
Professor McGonagall gestured to the height of Peter Pettigrew, a boy who was still an inferior figure after graduation.
"Oh! I remembered that there was a little man who was always inseparable from James and Black. So how did he get killed?"
Ms. Rosmerta continued to follow the words and asked, didn't you just say that the Potters were killed?Why was Pettigrew killed again?
"Peter Pettigrew may have wanted to call the police on the Potters. He would have succeeded if he had not met his old friend, Sirius Black."
Cornelius Fudge explained, with a sad expression on his face, and went to the wine cabinet to pour two glasses of wine for himself and Professor McGonagall.
"Black is very vicious. He not only killed Peter Pettigrew, but also mutilated his body, leaving nothing but one finger."
Cornelius Fudge gestured with his little finger, which meant that the Ministry of Magic had found only a few remains.
"Sirius Black may not have killed the Potters with his own hands, but it was he who caused their deaths."
Professor McGonagall drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp and then defined Sirius Black's behavior.
"Actually, this is not the worst thing. There are worse things than this!"
Cornelius Fudge raised his hand to signal Professor McGonagall to continue speaking, believing that the other party also understood what he meant.
"Sirius Black was... and still is today, Harry Potter's godfather."
Professor McGonagall said these words with a very heavy heart. She didn't know how much harm it would cause to Harry Potter, but she still had to say it.
"So, he wants to settle something... I can't believe it!"
Ms. Rosmerta seemed to understand something. Sirius Black escaped from prison this time just to kill Harry Potter. As a friend, he betrayed him. As a godfather, he also had reasons to do the final work.
Hearing this, Harry couldn't bear it anymore and immediately pushed the door open and even knocked over several passers-by.
This also made Hermione and Ron, who had been waiting at the door of the Three Broomsticks pub, chase Harry with pride.
"Harry Potter has left. Thank you for your cooperation."
Qin Ziyun walked into the room just now. This was obviously a play, specially performed for Harry.
"Mr. Qin! It's great that you're here! I don't know exactly how far we should go! Obviously you are satisfied with the current results."
Cornelius Fudge hugged Qin Ziyun as if he had seen a savior.
As the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge knows a lot of inside information, so the guilt or innocence of Sirius Black can already be proven through the existing evidence. This is why he agreed to Qin Ziyun's proposal to use Sirius Black's prison escape. as a way to overturn the verdict.
Sirius Black is definitely not guilty, but since the Wizengamot verdict was guilty, it cannot be easily overturned. This is a political issue, not a legal issue.
"Professor McGonagall, I've given you a hard time. Once his charges are cleared, he will definitely thank you for your help. The Black family owes you a favor."
Qin Ziyun came to Professor McGonagall and expressed this assurance very gratefully.
"Tell me, Qin! Is Sirius Black really unjust?"
Professor McGonagall was asked by Dumbledore today to cooperate with Qin Ziyun no matter what. Although she didn't know why, she still accepted the task in the name of the Order of the Phoenix.
However, he did not expect that Qin Ziyun's request for Professor McGonagall was just to talk about Sirius and the events of that year after the Minister of Magic came. Since Professor McGonagall did not know as many inside stories as the Minister of Magic, she was able to tell , and it must be detrimental to Sirius Black. Some of them are just conjectures. Even so, Professor McGonagall felt that she was speaking without conscience, so when Cornelius Fudge handed her the wine, she Swallowed uncontrollably.
"Whether he is innocent depends on whether he can present the certificate in front of Harry. Of course he is innocent, but this man is too stubborn and stupid! If he follows my script, everything will be different after the truth is revealed It’s the most ideal state.”
"I hope so! I really don't like your Slytherin way of doing things. What is the truth? What is the truth?"
Professor McGonagall was vaguely angry and unwilling. The dean of the Lion House did not lack courage, but he did not have the habit of playing conspiracy. If he was commanded by Qin Ziyun, a Slytherin, although everything he said and did was true, it was inexplicable. I feel bad!
