Chapter 141 Infiltrating Honeydukes
In this tense time, Easter came.On the day of the festival, Lu Ren and Harry received an Easter egg from Mrs. Weasley. When the egg was opened, a chocolate rabbit would pop out. After running and jumping for a while, the rabbit would disintegrate and turn into dozens of chocolates Egg.
On that day, the Hogwarts cafeteria also provided Easter-style foods such as ham, cross buns, and Manmi-although the reasons for wizards and Muggles to celebrate Easter are different, the customs of the two worlds have completely changed. Combines.
However, thanks to the joint efforts of teachers of all subjects, the Easter holiday was far less fun than Christmas - professors assigned a lot of homework.But even with so much homework, it couldn't stop Lu Ren. He had a big plan for Easter: he planned to sneak to Hogsmeade.
The reason why he needs to go to Hogsmeade is simple, he needs to prepare the materials needed to summon the spell.Generally speaking, these materials can also be stolen in Snape's office - but why always steal from Snape?Can't you buy it yourself?If I really can't buy it, I will go to Snape to find a way...
Moreover, Lu Ren can't guarantee that the potion in Snape's office will be honestly marked with Snape's name. If you put yourself in his shoes, you would write two words on the sesame jar in your own kitchen: sesame, in Is the jar of cumin labeled "cumin"?Moreover, although Snape's office is like a bus, anyone can get on it and order something from it, but he has some anti-theft measures if he can't keep it all.In the fourth grade, it was Crouch who stole things. It is very normal for him to be able to get rid of Snape's tracking. In the second grade, Hermione had a high probability of being discovered, but Snape didn't care .
Under these conditions, Lu Ren felt that stealing Snape's collection was the next best option.Lu Ren borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak and prepared to leave the common room.
Seeing that Lu Ren looked like he was about to go out, Hermione couldn't help being very curious: "Where are you going, Lu Ren? We still have a lot of homework to do! Can you memorize the twelve uses of dragon's blood?"
Lu Ren smiled, but didn't tell Hermione where he was going.
As for the twelve uses of dragon's blood, many of them are made up. For example, there are three uses in it: oven cleaner, spot remover and wart treatment.But judging from these uses alone, it does have a strong Dumbledore style...
Lu Ren came to the statue of a hunchbacked one-eyed witch in the middle of the corridor on the fourth floor.He has an impression of the secret passage behind the statue, but it would be nonsense to say that he can remember where the entrance to the secret passage is. This is what Fred told him when he was chatting with him before.Even so, it took him a while to find the statue.
Lu Ren walked behind the statue of the one-eyed witch, scanned both sides of the corridor, saw that there was no one there, drew out his wand, tapped the statue with the tip of the wand, and said: "Left and right are separated!"
A thin line appeared on the back of the statue, and then the back of the statue split into two without a sound, and a narrow hole appeared, which could only allow a thinner person to get in. If it was a bit fatter, it would be stuck .He quickly got into the hole and walked forward.
The next passage is like a slide. Fortunately, there are recessed pits on the left and right sides of the passage, which can be borrowed, so you don't have to worry about whether you can go down or not up.
Lu Ren slid on the stone slide for a while, and then fell to a piece of mud. The surroundings were pitch black, and there was no light shining through the passageway above his head. "Sigel!" As a small sun appeared above Lu Ren's head, he finally saw his situation clearly: he was in a narrow and low dirt passage, and if he was taller, he would have to bend over. Waist away.He put on the cloak of invisibility, and walked forward quickly.The passage was tortuous, like an ant's nest, the ground was uneven, and there were a few pits from time to time. Lu Ren staggered all the way, and it was extremely difficult to walk.
Fortunately, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, the ground finally began to rise. After walking for more than ten minutes, Lu Ren came to the bottom of an old stone staircase.Lu Ren began to climb up, and climbed hundreds of steps before he climbed under a trapdoor.
Lu Ren put his ears on the trapdoor, and when he found no sound, he gently pushed the trapdoor open—fortunately, the trapdoor didn't make the kind of creaking sound unique to wooden doors. The invisibility cloak jumped out of the trap door quickly, and then gently closed the door. The trap door and the floor were integrated into one, and it was impossible to see it at all.
He is now in a cellar, which is full of various wooden boxes, and various candies can be seen through some open boxes.He saw a wooden staircase at the exit of the cellar, and he hurried over. At this time, he could already hear the faint voices outside.
"Honey, please bring up a box of Zizi honey candy, the store is almost sold out." Lu Ren heard a female voice, and he confirmed that he was in the biggest candy store in Hogsmeade: Honeydukes.Then a door opened, and a huge bald man walked into the cellar, dug into the pile of boxes to search for things, Lu Ren took the opportunity to slip out of the open door, and entered the Honeydukes shop.
Although it is the Easter holiday, due to the heavy schoolwork, the traffic in the store is almost the same as that of ordinary weekends.In fact, the little wizards don't care about the business situation of a candy store. They feel that it is a super loss: Easter in 1992 is April 4, and this day is Sunday!The little wizards lost a day of vacation in vain...
Professor McGonagall suggested that Friday should also be used as holiday compensation, but Professor Snape, who was going to give two potions lessons to Gryffindor first-year wizards on Friday, firmly refused: he would rather adopt Harry as his godson He was also unwilling to give the little wizards an early holiday.What's more interesting is that Snape also had several Potions classes on Monday. If Monday was used as holiday compensation, his teaching progress would be greatly disrupted...
So under Snape's strong intervention, the matter of making up for the vacation was settled.
Of course, as the most popular shop in Hogsmeade, their usual customer flow is also extremely astonishing. There are at least twenty little wizards in the shop picking out candies. There are so many people in the "low season", if it catches up with the "peak season" like Christmas, the degree of crowding in Honey Duke may be comparable to that of the Kaifeng cuisine experience store linked with Yuanshen.
Lu Ren carefully bypassed the noisy little wizards, then found an inconspicuous corner outside the shop, took off his invisibility cloak, and walked into the shop.
