Harry Potter’s Natural Villain
Chapter 12 Candy Store and Misunderstanding
"How are we going?" Once determined, Hermione seemed to be more positive than Malfoy.
"Just follow me."
Hermione followed Malfoy around, coming in and out of the classroom for a while.Soon, they came to the middle waist of the corridor on the fourth floor.
"That's you." Malfoy walked straight to a statue of a witch with a hunched back and only one eye.
"Separate left and right!" Malfoy tapped the stone witch with his magic wand.
The statue's hunchback opened immediately, big enough for a thinner person to enter.
"How did you know that there is a mechanism here?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Secret." Malfoy sold off.
"Don't tell, don't tell." Hermione was a little annoyed, but at the same time she seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness before.
"Follow me, don't get lost, although it seems you won't get lost if you enter from here"
After that, the two entered the hole opened by the witch.
The two slid a long distance, like a rock slide. After some time, they felt that they were standing on the ground again.
"It's really cold here." Malfoy couldn't help but shiver.
"Fluorescence flashes!" This spell is naturally used in dark places.
"It's really like a rabbit tunnel here." Hermione looked at it for a while before coming to this conclusion.
"Don't be distracted, look at your feet," Malfoy reminded.
The ground here was bumpy and would fall if you didn't pay attention, and in a while Hermione had almost fallen a few times.It was Malfoy who supported her in time.
The itinerary was a bit boring, but because two people weren’t lonely, they chatted with each other.
An hour passed quickly.
"I wonder if you are trying to murder a wizard of Muggle blood." As the chat goes on, the two become more and more familiar.Hermione even made this joke."Look at how secret this is, I can't beat you again."
"This joke is not funny, but I also have a headache with my parents' ideas." Malfoy shrugged.
"Oh, we are coming." Malfoy felt the passage start to steepen.
Ten minutes later, the two came to a dilapidated stone ladder, which stretched out to a place they could not see.
The two began to climb the stairs again.
"Boom." They seemed to be at the top, and Malfoy knocked on the trap door twice, then pushed it open.
"Attention, we are already in the cellar." Malfoy whispered to Hermione.
"Come up." Malfoy climbed up first and then reached out to Hermione, pulling her up too.
The cellar is full of chairs and tables, and the floor is covered with a thick layer of ash, so that the trapdoor almost blends with the floor.If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine a door here.
"So how do we get out now?" Hermione asked."I think we will be treated as thieves now."
"Then you don't have to worry about it." Malfoy went straight to the stairs, preparing to go out in a fair manner.
"I think you are crazy." Hermione helped her forehead.She had anticipated that Slytherin and Gryffindor would be deducted twenty or even fifty points at the same time."I'm just an accomplice, this guy should have buckled more." Just as Hermione was thinking about it.Suddenly there was an exclamation.
"Oh, little Draco, why are you here?" A woman's voice came.
"No wonder he is so familiar with here." Hermione thought.
"Come out and relax on Halloween, Aunt Ambrose."
"It turned out to be little Malfoy. Thanks to your idea last time, we made a lot of money.
"But you just stay in this shop, I remember you are only in the first grade now, you will be deducted if you are caught, right?" Ambrosio said, this man is the master of the Honey Duke."The people in other stores are not as easy to talk as we are."
"Of course, I ran out secretly this time, and there was an oil bottle beside me," Malfoy said.
"Let me see, oh, I brought my little girlfriend to play on Halloween. It's very romantic. We won't let you down here. I happened to have another batch of fresh goods today. Would you like to try it?" Ambrosio sent out Hearty laughter.Obviously saw Hermione behind Malfoy.
"I'm not his girlfriend!" Hermione emphasized word by word, with a light tone but also firm.
"I understand and I understand, what is the popular name you young people call now, this name is too dirty, we can't keep up with the trend." Obviously the boss did not listen to her explanation directly.On Halloween, the two came to Hogsmeade in violation of school rules. It doesn't matter who is lying?
"Okay, don't talk, let's take us around." Malfoy looked at Hermione's colder and colder face, and cut off the conversation with a decisive exit.
"Then you have to look at my new goods. These things are really unlucky. If you didn't make a big profit last time, you really couldn't buy them."Ambrose said.
Said to be taken to visit, in fact, Duke of Honey does not occupy much space.A glance is enough to make a panoramic view.However, the dense shelves of the store are full of all kinds of candies enough to make people feel dizzy.
Large chunks of buttery peanut candy, chunks of shimmering pink coconut sorbet, neatly arranged hundreds of various chocolates, a large bucket of multi-flavored beans, a bucket of sizzling bee candy, and floating floating Sherbet in the air, etc.
Along the other wall is a variety of "special effects" candies.Blowbo Super Bubble Gum (it can fill the room with blue bellflower-colored bubbles, which will not burst for a few days), bizarre fragments of hairy mint, small black pepper urchin ("For your friend Spit fire from the nose!"), ice mice ("hear your teeth fighting and squeaking!"), buttermints shaped like toads ("really beat in the stomach!"), The crunchy sugar quill and the explosive candy.
Hermione was almost dazzled by these candies, the candies in the world of Muggles didn't look so strange.
"Just looking at your stomach won't be satisfied." As he said, Ambrosius handed Zizi Bee Candy to the two."Try it, it tastes good."
"Yes, but we haven't paid yet." Hermione said.
"Little Draco paid already, didn't he?"
Hermione cast a questioning look at Malfoy.
"Go on, I'll talk to you later," Malfoy said.
"All right." Hermione slowly reached out and took the candy.
Facts prove once again: Never underestimate the allure of candy for women.Even for humans, the sugar-loving nature has already been carved into genes.
"How about it, do you feel better?" Malfoy asked after eliminating a stick of bee candy.
"Um..." Hermione nodded softly.
"How about it, do you want to take some back to school?" Malfoy asked.
"I can't eat so much." Hermione curled her lips.
"Don't you bring some for your two friends?"
"The two of them are not my friends!" Hermione suddenly became excited again when she mentioned this.
"Isn't angry yet? Let's make a bet, today you will attend the Halloween party as usual, and they will definitely apologize to you."
"Really?" Hermione asked subconsciously.
"Look, you still can't bear these two friends."
Hermione's face froze.Muttered: "I'm talking about it again."
In the end the bet couldn't be over, because Hermione seemed to have believed what Malfoy said: "Gryffindor's courage should include the brave admission of mistakes, such as your apology to me at the time."
"If you take the candy again, they might have their jaws dropped." Malfoy continued.
Hermione chuckled and laughed, seeming to think of what Harry and Ron should look like.
"Then I will believe you for the time being." She seemed to perceive something wrong, and she quickly returned to her normal expression.But the renewed glorious eyes still betrayed her now happy mood.
"Oh, it's late, I think we can prepare to go back." Malfoy looked out the window and said suddenly.The sun seems to be going down.
"What?" Hermione also looked out the window, suddenly panicking.
"Don't worry, I think we still have enough time. Everyone is celebrating the holidays. I won't notice that there are fewer people." Malfoy said while at the counter, and took a few from the wooden barrels on the floor. The candy was placed in his hand and passed to the boss.
"Would you like more of this flavor?" Malfoy said, pointing to the fluffy mints.
"Well, I think my parents would like it too." Hermione nodded subconsciously."No, we should really go, we will all be deducted points if we are found out!" Hermione now seems to be back to the schoolgirl who keeps school rules and disciplines in mind.
"Does this mean that you don't give up on yourself after you solve the happy knot?" Malfoy smiled.
"Okay, let's go." He took the packaged candy from the boss and handed it to Hermione.
"I wish you a prosperous business, and see you next time, boss." Malfoy said goodbye to the boss.
"Thank you for the hospitality today." Hermione did not forget to bow to the Ambrose and his wife.
"Be careful on the road! That road is not easy!"
"Of course." Malfoy replied.Then he headed into the cellar and Hermione followed him closely.
After that, he returned on the same route.
"I didn't have time to ask you just now, why are you so familiar with that shopkeeper?" Hermione asked La Malfoy by pulling La Malfoy's sleeve in the dark environment where she couldn't see her fingers.
"When I first came here to play, I gave him some tips on doing business in the Muggle world. What is it called? By the way! Hunger marketing, it seems that I made a lot of money, so I didn’t ask for it ."
"How old were you then?"
"Sometimes it is obvious that one's wisdom cannot be measured by age." Malfoy pointed to his head, although Hermione in the dark may not be able to see it.
"Why didn't you guy go to Ravenclaw?" Hermione was obviously puzzled.
"Are you thinking that I'm Ravenclaw, maybe we can get closer together?" Malfoy said suddenly frivolously.
"What are you talking about suddenly!" Hermione flushed, but she couldn't see it in the dark.
"Just kidding."
However, a gentle joke touched Hermione's heart: "If only he was really Ravenclaw." Hermione patted her face lightly.
I have to say that the last encounter with this time made Hermione a big change in Malfoy.It even made her reflect on the mistakes she made when the two met for the first time.Incidentally, he strengthened his determination to make Harry and Ron apologize to him.
"What am I thinking about!" Hermione tried to free herself from her imagination.
"Well, I think we are going back to school soon." Feeling the terrain gradually calmed down.Malfoy said to Hermione.
After walking for a while, the two felt a glimmer of light in their eyes, and the one-eyed hunchback witch's exit was approaching.
Malfoy went out first and looked around a few times, making sure that no one was there before letting Hermione get through the door.
"The party is about to begin. I guess Ron and Harry are looking for you to apologize, go."
"Today, thank you so much today," Hermione said softly.
"It's a small matter," Malfoy said.
"This is the resolution of the troll incident." Malfoy let out a long sigh of relief as she watched Hermione's back turning away.
The next development should be for the three to reconcile, and then Hermione's affection for herself has risen.
"It's been too long, and it's time to go back soon." Malfoy was thinking about going to the Slytherin lounge first, and then going to the dinner party.
When he turned and was about to lift his leg to move, he suddenly met a pair of cold eyes.
"It's very difficult now." Malfoy suddenly felt the slow malice that the world brought him.
In front of Malfoy's eyes, a girl was crossing her hands on her chest while looking at him with a sneer.
