"Tick~Tick~Tick..."
The ward of the infirmary was silent, except for the sound of the hands moving in the huge clock in the corner. The only thing left in the ward was the gasping of Umbridge, who was wrapped in a fresh mummy on the bed.
Umbridge’s breathing is very gentle, listen carefully to the slight snoring you can hear.
"Tick~Tick~"
The hands of the clock were still moving. Eventually, with a clear sound of the machine, the large hands representing the hours suddenly moved, pointing to a big I.
A small door at the top of the clock suddenly opened, and then a golden bird made of pure machinery flew out of it, screaming, while hovering over the ward.
Umbridge seemed to be awakened on the hospital bed, and she took a deep breath as if she hadn't breathed in a long time.
Her body was trembling slightly, and her head shook slightly, as if she wanted to turn her head to look around her.
However, due to her neck fixer, her wish to turn her head was not fulfilled after all, so she could only do her best to deflect her eyes.
Suddenly, a bunch of pure black roses appeared in her peripheral light.
The spikes on the flower branches of this bunch of roses have all been removed, and the tool to strip them all from where they should have been is a dagger on the lace of the rose.
Umbridge's body trembled more and more, and even intermittent teeth colliding faintly came from his mouth.
The sunlight outside the window shone on her bed through the window, as if someone had sprinkled a large piece of gold powder on it, but even so, Umbridge did not feel any warmth at all.
At this moment, she even felt that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and because of the thick plaster cast on her body, she couldn't wipe the sweat at all, which was extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, Umbridge's breathing gradually calmed down, and his body tremors became much smaller.
She clearly remembered that after McGonagall left in her ward yesterday, a strong man wearing a black robe and a strange white mask appeared!
The masked man said that he would give himself a gift, and then he took out a dagger and put it on his neck.
The memory has been blurred by this point. At first, Umbridge thought it was just a nightmare, but now she really found the dagger!
All this is true!
Umbridge was still breathing deeply, trying to calm himself down.
At this moment, her brain is operating at high speed, and she feels like she has faintly broken a big secret!
Dumbledore and his employees have formed a huge interest group, constantly squeezing benefits from all aspects, and training Hogwarts students to become their armed forces.
And when the power has accumulated to a certain level, then they will rush out of Hogwarts with unmatched momentum and unify the entire world of wizards in the country! Even the whole of Europe! The whole world!
That's right! It must be so!
Dumbledore, the world-famous white wizard, is the most evil black wizard! A careerist full of conspiracies!
It must be that their arrival has made them uneasy, so they will line up to attack them!
What an ordinary attack is this!
The attack that night was clearly a deliberate death threat!
I didn't even think about it at the beginning, so McGonagall sent someone to threaten him more directly!
Thinking of this, Umbridge felt his body began to instinctively tremble again, and the fear in his heart couldn't bear it.
She admitted that she was really scared.
Who is not afraid of death?
She even had the urge to return directly to the Ministry of Magic, even if Fudge was blamed for failing the mission, it would be better than death!
Unfortunately, it is too late to say all this.
Umbridge felt the plaster that bound him, and a wry smile flashed across his face.
I have lost my freedom and been put under complete house arrest. Where can I escape?
Now, I can only cooperate with the actions of those people as much as possible, and expect the other party to worry about his identity as the Deputy Minister of Magic and let himself go!
"Crunch!"
The door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a student medical volunteer wearing a white robe walked in.
Umbridge was taken aback by the sound, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost didn't stop screaming.
And the female volunteer who came in didn’t seem to notice Umbridge’s attitude change, but she saw a warm smile on her face, carefully helping Umbridge re-press the messy quilt, and then gently. Asked:
"Professor Umbridge, you finally woke up! You haven't had lunch yet, what would you like to eat?"
While talking, she suddenly found the rose beside Umbridge’s bed, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Wow! Roses! Did Professor Umbridge's friend send it? He is really considerate, even the thorns on it were removed!"
Umbridge’s lips squirmed slightly on the hospital bed, and the gentle smile on the girl’s face seemed so evil to her, and in the face of the girl’s inquiry, she knew she was in Um, who had to bow her head under the eaves. Qi can only reluctantly replied:
"Ok!"
...
At the same time, on the bustling main road of Hogwarts Village, Mike and the members of the mutual aid association were walking mightily.
Today is the weekend, and it is also the day when he and Harry have made an appointment to meet the new members of the cram school.
"Mike, look at that!"
While walking, George suddenly grabbed Mike. The latter looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a shop full of people. The wooden sign on the front of the shop was written in golden paint. A line of big characters-Zuo Ke Joke Shop.
"We will open a joke shop much bigger than that one day!"
George gritted his teeth and said, while Fred beside him retorted:
"It's not just big! By that time, there will be more things in our shop, and the quality will be even better!"
"Yes, you are too right, Fred!"
Looking at the two people who had been beaten up with blood, Mike shook his head helplessly, and did not answer, but silently continued to walk forward.
During this period of time, he often heard similar words. Mike’s guess was that George and Fred hadn’t had a good time in Umbridge during this period. He could only rely on such a little thought to make himself able Support it.
Not long after continuing, the Hogsmeade Post Office appeared in front of everyone.
This post office is the message center of the entire Hogsmeade Village. It contains a large number of owls and countless letters, and the owls in it are divided into different grades with various colors. The higher the grade, the owl The faster the speed, the higher the charge.
It's a pity that the person who manages this post office doesn't seem to have any sense of cleanliness, which leads to bird droppings everywhere in the post office, which is very disgusting.
The crowd turned a bay in front of the Hogsmeade Post Office and entered a trail. After walking for a while, a tattered two-story tavern appeared in front of everyone.
This tavern is located at the intersection of this trail. Mike thinks that the owner of this tavern must have been kicked by a donkey, because unlike the main road in Hogsmeade not far away, there is no one on this trail, presumably it The business should be very bleak.
A tattered wooden signboard was inserted in the entrance of this small building, on which was painted a pig's head that had been chopped off. Blood stains penetrated the white cloth that covered it, and it looked a little frightening.
"Pig Head Bar, let's go in."
Following Mike's lead, everyone followed him and swarmed into this bar.
As soon as he entered the bar, Mike asked about a strong smell of sheep, which made him instinctively cover his nose.
Then he turned his head and looked at it again, and found that this bar was like a garbage dump compared to the broken cauldron bar in Diagon Alley!
The space inside it is very small, and there are many tables and chairs arranged in a mess, which makes the originally small space even smaller.
And there is thick dirt on the windows inside it, and the light from outside is almost impenetrable, which makes the light in the tavern very dim, even if it is daytime, some candlesticks are lit on the rough wooden table for lighting. .
The floor of the tavern was dusty. Mike originally thought it should be compacted mud, but after stepping on it and feeling it for a while, he was surprised to find that it turned out to be a pile of stones on the ground. Dirt for centuries!
Everything here disgusts Mike, knowing that he is a very clean person.
It is said that Hagrid is a frequent visitor here. When Mike and others were in the first grade, he was drinking here when Quirrell used a dragon egg to set out the secret of the three-headed dog.
For this reason, Mike originally thought that even if the pig's head bar was a little dirty and messy, there would be at least a limit, but now it seems that he really overestimated the lower limit of Hagrid's tolerance to the environment!
"What do you want!"
Just as Mike frowned and looked around, a rough voice suddenly came.
Mike turned his head and looked at the bar, and saw a fat uncle with a big beard and something similar to Dumbledore staring at his round eyeballs, staring at himself angrily. Seeing the posture, it seemed to be Very dissatisfied with the environment where Mike and others disliked this place.
Mike remembered the identity of the other party instantly!
Aberforth, Dumbledore's own brother, is also the owner of this tavern.
However, according to the intelligence in the original book, his relationship with Dumbledore was very bad, and the two would quarrel and even fist each other once they met.
The underlying reason for this is not clear to Mike. The original book only says that it is because of their little sister, but the specific things are not written in detail.
It is said that the detailed content should be checked in other materials, but it is a pity that Mike has only read the original.
"Mike, you are finally here!" Harry shouted excitedly, but after seeing the senior students behind him, the surprise smile on Harry's face suddenly froze, "They are..."
It wasn't until this time that Mike found Harry and others hiding in the corner. He took a deep look at Aberfors, and then smiled and said to Harry:
"They are all my friends, and I came with them when I heard that I was going to make up lessons for them."
"Really? This is awesome!"
"Now we finally don't have to worry about the embarrassing scene that no one will be here...oooo!~"
Only halfway through Ron's words, Hermione and Harry covered their mouths together, only making a whine.
At this time, George and Fred had already sat down in front of the bar. They were obviously not here for the first time. They raised their hands very skillfully and shouted to Aberforth:
"Boss, give each of us a bottle of butterbeer! My treat!"
The arrogance that George said was so arrogant that the secret of their wealthy pockets had been revealed, so they were spending money lavishly.
Aberfors in the bar shook his eyebrows and beard violently. He stood there and stared at George angrily, seeming to be angry that George had increased his workload.
It wasn't until George was seen that his scalp became numb, and Aberfors took possession of the cabinet under the bar and carried two large boxes of butterbeer in front of George:
"All the stock is given to you, 50 bottles, a total of 6 gold gallons!"
"What? Do you think we are fools?" Fred shouted, "The butter beer here is clearly 2 cicors. 50 bottles are 5 golden gallons and 15 cicors. But where did it come from?"
"Huh!? You don't buy it?"
Aberforth was even more exaggerated than Fred, with an angry voice in his voice.
Hearing that George came out hurriedly to make a round.
They are regular customers of this tavern, and the reason they often come to this tavern to consume is because the owner of this tavern doesn’t care about the
prohibition for minors
at all, as long as you have money here, even if you are just a student He will also sell you wine.
It is also for this reason that the Pig’s Head Bar has become an important source of goods on Hogwarts’ ‘Beverage Smuggling Net’, and almost all the drinks in Hogwarts come from here.
So they didn't seem to be too stiff with the boss, and at the same time they didn't care about Aberforth's aggressive buying and selling.
Because the extra wine here can be transported back to Hogwarts and bought slowly. What is the high price? They can also increase the price after they go back!
In the end, under George’s deliberate flattery, Aberfors finally handed over two boxes of Butterbeer to Fred~EbookFREE.me~ Then Fred skillfully opened the box and removed the contents. The wine was distributed to everyone present.
Mike was also assigned a bottle of Butterbeer, but he didn't mean to drink it.
There is no other reason, it is too dirty!
Since Aberforth took out all the butterbeer, his brows had been wringed together.
The two large wooden boxes were covered with dust and dirt, and their original colors were completely invisible.
The butter beer taken out from the inside is similar. The place where the logo should have been covered on the bottle is blurred. A lot of grease and dust adhere to the surface of the glass bottle. This makes the entire bottle look terrible and also It is very doubtful whether these butter beers have expired!
For such unclean things, Mike will never eat unless he has to do it!
