Chapter 172 Hogsmeade Weekend
Snape's strength gradually recovered, and his eyes became sharper and sharper. He continued to say to Dumbledore——
"Beyond that—he also knows... that Harry is alive," he grabbed Dumbledore's sleeve, "so his rage couldn't be quenched... Roaring, throwing all the food, including me, All the Dead Apostles were punished, not even Bellatrix Lestrange was spared..."
"Beyond the anger...I could see that he had an overwhelming fear...he was going to kill Harley right away, I was sure."
Dumbledore patted Snape's hand, then handed him another potion.
"...of course he took special care of Malfoy," Snape put down his glass, "because he lost one of the treasures that the Dark Lord once gave him for safekeeping... I think it must be the diary - of course now I know It's a Horcrux."
"If it wasn't for the fact that the Dark Lord wanted to take advantage of the wealth and status of the Malfoy family... I fully believe he would have killed Malfoy in the next second."
"Family wealth saved Malfoy's life again..."
Snape smiled sarcastically, "Of course the Dark Lord wouldn't just let him go... but gave him a task - I don't know the specifics, because their conversation was conducted in secret - I...have not gained the complete trust of the Dark Lord. After the Dark Lord...was resurrected, he became even more suspicious."
His face was full of concern, "I guess... the Dark Lord has gathered all the remaining Horcruxes - except maybe the one related to the house-elves."
"So...even if you know where they are," Snape shook his head, "we're going to have to start from scratch."
"No, Severus," Dumbledore said as he refilled Snape's glass, the glint of his blue eyes reflected on the sides of the clear glass, "he has at most one in his hand. I'm pretty sure, There's another one at Hogwarts...it's only a matter of time before we find it..."
*************
Harry saw that no matter how dark the magical world outside the castle was, the peace inside the castle remained the same - partly due to Dumbledore's reputation as "the greatest wizard" and "the man most feared by the Dark Lord", It makes Hogwarts the safest place in the eyes of British wizards; another part of the reason lies in the natural ostrich spirit of human beings. This tendency of self-deception does not distinguish between wizards and Muggles.
So the lessons and the rough-and-tumble was the same—the rough-and-tumble with Peeves, who had never known ghosts could be so annoying.Otherwise, Malfoy's constant sarcasm and sarcasm were ignored by Harry.
God, doesn't he have his own things to do?You can always meet him inexplicably at any corner of any corridor.
He would insult Harley and Queenie in a subtle way, and was mercilessly pierced by Queenie without accident, but it could not stop him from continuing to do the same thing next time...Harry simply suspected that Malfoy had been abused tendency.
At the same time, Queenie and the Weasley twins and Ginny got closer and closer, often leaving Harley and going somewhere to play.
"They made their own super--so many very interesting little things," Queenie introduced to Harry, dancing, "They also know the secret way to the kitchen! I've already asked some house-elves to come to the next dinner Scrambled a plate of egg whites just for you - of course they didn't understand, almost hit the wall, I stopped." Queenie winced, "don't tell Hermione... she's crazy about 'liberating' house-elves... ..."
Harry shrugged boredly, not interested in it, she really missed Damian...
Queenie observed her friend for a while, "You just spend too much time in long-distance relationships, Harley," her words carried a hint of persuasion, "It makes you live in your own world, build a An invisible wall, ignoring the fun of the environment you are really in. You should enjoy Hogwarts life more, focus on the present, these things you can actually touch... Jean Damien Ann to die!"
My good friend and boyfriend can't get along, almost tit for tat, irreconcilable.If Queenie has a certain level of force value, Harley is 100% sure that she and Damian will fight...
To Harley's slight relief, at least Queenie didn't really object to her being with Damian.
But Harley admits... Queenie's views on "high walls" and "now" do have some truth...
Because Queenie often hides with the twins to do "prank" experiments, no one can be found at all.So Harley could only join Hermione's homework writing group in the library - of course she and Hermione wrote it, Ron copied it, and Neville would copy a few paragraphs embarrassingly after he couldn't write.
"It's not fair," Ron snorted, "it's all plagiarism, why are you two so gentle with Neville, but yelling at me?"
"Because Neville at least tried to write it himself, Ron!" said Hermione sternly.
Snape learned from nowhere that Umbridge didn't teach any practice, so he restarted making up lessons for Harry.Ron and Neville frowned when they heard it, but Hermione was envious.
The professors are also used to Harley's presence. For example, Professor Flitwick in the Charms class will no longer turn over from the chair covered with books after calling her name...
Except for Hagrid, the tall professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures class, who still takes out his handkerchief and cries for a while every time he sees her...
"You were such a little bunch... woo... I got you out of your house... oh... Lily and James..."
Harry could only follow the back of Hagrid's hanging hand—she could only touch here—"Okay, okay, it's over."
The Slytherins - led by Malfoy - watched and laughed quietly.The Gryffindor boys fought back for Hagrid and Harry. After a few words, the two sides almost fought again.
Professor McGonagall deducted two points from each house for this.
Harley decided to follow Queenie's advice and enjoy life for the moment, so she happily attended her first Hogsmeade weekend—her application form had Grandpa Alfred's signature on the Guardian section.
Perhaps because the customers are mainly Hogwarts students, the shops on Hogsmeade Street are more entertaining than those in Diagon Alley——
Such as Honeydukes' candy, Zoko's Magic Joke Shop, The Three Broomsticks, Lady Puddiffe's Tea House, etc...
Harley bought so many candies at Honeydukes that she couldn't hold them all because she was sending Gotham and Metropolis...
Most of the older brothers, including Damian, would not eat them—these are all pure sugar, which does not help in gaining muscle and reducing fat.
Of course, Harry didn't forget to send a copy to Joe, because he was the transit point for these express deliveries.
Led by Hermione, Ron, Neville and Ginny, Harley and Queenie visited with great interest and bought some gadgets from time to time.
As for why she was able to get so close to Ron and the others in a short period of time——
Harry couldn't figure it out either, these light, comfortable friendships just happened naturally.
Perhaps it was because they had met in New York before, sharing the same secret about Tom's diary?Maybe it's because Ron keeps saying how much his mum likes Harley...
Ginny, on the other hand, has a similar experience to Harley, growing up with a group of brothers.
And, who else but them?
Both Lavender and Parvati were fans of Professor Trelawney, while Seamus and Dean always looked at her with terrified eyes... as if she was indeed on Dumbledore's side, using Voldemort's Fake news that has been revived to deceive the public.
At the end of Hogsmeade's itinerary, Harry and the others came to the Three Broomsticks together.
"Is this real alcohol? Can we drink it?" She eyed the butterbeer suspiciously. "I thought I couldn't taste alcohol until I was 21."
Tsk, drink more, so I have the guts to continue teasing Damian tonight.
*************
After this weekend, Halle is ready for whatever comes her way.only……
"Why hasn't Umbridge bothered me yet?"
In a new Defense Against the Dark Arts class, she looks suspiciously at the suddenly less coquettish Umbridge the Toad/Toad.
"Maybe Dumbledore put you down?" Queenie whispered back.
