Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

? Hogsmeade is still the same.

The not-so-wide road was covered with snow on both sides, and almost joined the white snow on the slightly low roof.The pavement itself, because the snow has been cleared with a spell, in addition to being slightly damp, it may even make people feel cleaner than indoors.

Of course, this village has been built for many years after all, and no matter how clean it is, it will inevitably give people a feeling of old age.

I remember that some miscellaneous notes about Hogwarts in the library seem to mention that Hogsmeade Village and the school were established at about the same time, and there have been no major changes during these years.

Thinking about it this way, this place is probably the same as Hogwarts Castle, and it still continues the style of a medieval village a thousand years ago!

Right now, Maca was walking slowly along the road with Hermione.

"Stop! Give me the chocolate frog!"

"Jimmy, didn't you say that you only need cards! Since you don't plan to eat the chocolate frog, you might as well give it to me! Don't be so stingy..."

"Who said I won't eat it! Don't run if you have the courage! See if I can't kill you!"

On each Hogsmeade Day, the roads in the village are quite crowded, and there is usually even a little chaos.Maca grabbed Hermione by the wrist and pulled her to the side of the road to avoid being hit by the two lower graders who were chasing and fleeing.

After the two chased and ran to the other side of the street, Maca looked at their backs and said:

"How do I feel that the students in the past two years have become more and more naughty. I remember that we weren't so noisy on the street!"

As he was talking, he suddenly turned around and smiled.

"Hermione, say yes!"

Although Makara pulled her wrists, and she was still trying to make way for others, Hermione's face turned red.

However, she seemed to disagree with Maca's words.

"I don't know which troublemakers are thinking about visiting the castle at night. Not only did they implicate me, but somebody also specially prepared something to deal with Mrs. Lorice!"

Seeing Hermione pouring her mouth and teasing herself with a smile, Maca shrugged and said:

"Oh! At least that's not'specially' for Mrs. Loris... Well, don't look at me like that, what I said is true!"

"Who knows?"

Hermione pursed her mouth, then turned around and walked forward, but after carrying her back, she couldn't help but secretly laughed.

Behind her, Maca seemed unaware that she was laughing secretly, and suddenly recalled:

"Speaking of which, time flies so fast! Thinking about what you just mentioned, it seems that it just happened yesterday... But if you think about it, it's already five years ago."

Listening to Maca sighing behind her that time seemed to flow, Hermione nodded.

is not that right!

Not to mention anything else, just look at their little friends, and now they all grow up unknowingly.Short and chubby Neville became a handsome boy, Ginny gradually grew into a well-known beauty in the school, and Maca has even become a professor.

Over the past six years, many things have happened tangibly, but when I think about it, it still feels like a snap.

The two of them were pacing in tandem, reminiscing little by little over the years, but suddenly they found that they had reached the end of the village.

Standing on the corner of the street, Hermione took a look to the right-hand corner, and she should be near the Pig's Head Bar not far away.

"Maca, shall we go see Miss Witt? She should have come to work this afternoon."

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Maca first glanced in the direction of the pig's head bar, but then shook his head.

"Don't all say it's a date!" He chuckled lightly, "Although I am a little sorry to Aberforth, I really don't think that dirty bar would be a good place for a date!"

Seeing him say this, Hermione was taken aback for a while, but couldn't help muttering in a small voice:

"I don't care, anyway, I am not dating the environment..."

Maca naturally heard Hermione's words.But he didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the left hand side again before continuing:

"Let’s go here today—I think the time after lunch can be used for afternoon tea or something, what do you think?"

"Okay?"

Hermione responded casually, turning her head and following his gaze to the other side.But when she realized what was on the street turning right in front of her, her little heart thumped.

The store on the corner over there is the "literati quill shop" she often goes to, but after turning that corner, there is only one store in the small street that is related to "afternoon tea".

"Maca, you mean..."

"Yes," Maca said, raising his eyebrows, "Mrs. Pattef's Teahouse—Actually, I didn't even go to that shop in Hogsmeade Village. You know, there. The first person is really not easy to enter!"

Of course it would be inconvenient to be alone if it was Padif.

From the lace tablecloths to the misty atmosphere of the store, including the exquisite decoration of the entire store, everything seems to exude the atmosphere of "single dogs not close" at all times.

Whether it's a man and a man, a woman and a man, or a woman and a woman, if you don't hold a small hand, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed to pass by her store.

There is no doubt that Mrs. Paddef’s Teahouse is a holy place for lovers recognized throughout Hogwarts.

Even though this store is not only expensive for students, but the space inside is still a bit cramped.But if a boy wants to make a serious confession with a girl, he will inevitably choose here as much as possible, even if he borrows money, he must invite his beloved girl there.

As for the reason... It is said that the chances of success in confession there are much higher than elsewhere?

"Let's go! Let's go over and take a look!"

"and many more!"

Seeing that Maca was about to go there with her leg pulled out, Hermione first subconsciously followed him for two steps, and then suddenly grabbed him.

"What's the matter?" Maca turned her head and smiled. "Relax, just have a cup of tea...I understand."

"No, you listen to me first."

Hermione stubbornly refused to go, and after making Maca stop, she said seriously:

"Maca, I think you can understand the situation between me and Luna. Seriously, I am grateful for Luna to allow me...you know what I'm talking about."

She pursed her mouth, skipped some words that she was not as embarrassed to say, and then continued:

"Moreover, I am even more grateful that she gave me this opportunity today. So, after you took me to Pattif this time, I hope you can remember... Next time you will take her to the last time!"

At the end, Hermione thought silently in her heart:

"If Luna hadn't allowed me to intervene in the first place, I would never have the opportunity to compete-so even if she said something'there is no absolute fairness in this world', I must at least keep a copy of'relative It’s fair. Otherwise, it’s too unreasonable!"

Although Hermione didn't say the latter words, Maca could vaguely feel that she thought about it in her heart.Judging from these "underground transactions" between her and Luna, the inner tenderness and kindness of these two girls is really touching.

By now, which one of his Maca McLean likes is no longer the most important thing in the three of them.

Looking at Hermione's shyness, almost full of seriousness, Maca nodded solemnly.

"I know."

"……Thank you."

After Hermione thanked Maca for his respect for her decision, she grabbed the opponent's hand and walked towards the diagonally opposite road.

As you can see from the back, her face is obviously red again.

Feeling the tenderness in her hands, Maca allowed her to pull herself forward, while silently sighing over these two affections.

Leaving aside Luna's thoughts today, Hermione's perseverance between friendship and love alone is enough to make him deeply impressed.

And just as Maca's thoughts were flowing, Hermione had dragged him to the gate of Madame Petitfu's teahouse.

The storefronts, which are completely different from the left and right sides, are delicate and lively with a little ambiguity.Just the three colors of pink, red, and white constitute a picture that is not grand but full of atmosphere.

Of course, if you have to talk about the shortcomings of this teahouse, it is probably a "vulgar" word.

Compared to the Umbridge’s office that was sent to Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic, Padif’s decoration is indeed a bit more “fresh”, but a few more glances still make people feel “greasy Feeling like panicking.

As Maca took a step forward and opened the grilled door for Hermione, a string of crisp bells rang from the door.

"Please! Miss Granger—"

He stood by the door, smiled at Hermione, and reached out invitingly.

After Hermione pursed his lips and walked in cautiously, he also turned around and stepped into this teahouse that he had only heard of in five or six years.

It was just the first step, a warm sensation with a little dampness, suddenly rushing toward his face.Compared to the ice and snow outside, here seems to be a late spring.

And right after, he and Hermione immediately smelled the sweet smell permeating the air here-is this the smell of dessert and coffee?Or the smell of some kind of perfume?It's really hard to tell.

"Oh! It's actually a diluted pearl flower essence..." Maca moved his nose, and said immediately, "This Mrs. Padif is really willing to pay for it."

After Hermione heard it, she couldn't help but hesitate:

"The concoction of the ecstasy?"

"Correct!"

Maca nodded slightly.
