Hogsmeade

Wizet and Luna emerged from the cellar and stood in a corner of the Honeydukes's shop.

Luna looked around at the students and whispered in Wizet's ear, "There are so many people here!"

The store was packed with students, many of whom were incredibly focused as they picked out their favorite candies.

Wizet's earlobe tickled a little, and he suppressed a laugh as he said, "So... there's no need to worry so much. They're all busy shopping and won't pay much attention to their surroundings."

Luna looked at a student not far away, whose gaze kept shifting between two boxes of candy, his brows furrowed tightly;

The student was having an internal struggle, deciding whether to take the pink coconut ice cream or the light blue coconut ice cream next to it;

He seemed to want to carry them all, but unfortunately, he already had a lot of things in his pockets, hands, and shoulders, so there wasn't enough room for two cans of popsicles.

"Their expressions..." Luna smiled, her voice much louder than before, "Are just like yours when you're writing a thesis... extremely serious!"

Wizet touched her nose, coughed lightly, and said, "So this is what I looked like when I wrote my thesis?"

"There's something different..." Luna thought carefully, "Your brows aren't furrowed as tightly..."

"His lips only part slightly when he is carefully choosing his words, but he will quickly purse them again."

Wizet tried to imagine what it would look like, then shook her head slightly and said, "Doesn't that look very serious?"

"He's just very serious..." Luna shook her head repeatedly, "And he's enjoying it. His eyes are like Niffler who's found a jewel. How can he be serious?"

"There are many jewels here, Niffler 'm having a bit of a problem..." Wizet laughed. "Why don't you help me choose some? I'll send some to Mr. Lovegood too."

Luna laughed and nodded gently, saying, "I'll make sure to find the right candy for Mr. Niffler!"

The shop dares to use a name like "Honeydukes," so the candies and snacks it sells must be incredibly diverse, which is why so many students come in to buy them.

The regular candies include marzipan, Cockroach Clusters, Licorice Wand, ice cream, toffee, and chocolate. They are all neatly arranged on the shelves near the wall, which looks quite impressive.

Most of the space in Honeydukes is arranged as aisles and a magic candy area;

All sorts of enchanted candies are displayed on more elaborate shelves, arranged in a circle to showcase the magic contained within them.

The shelf area where the Drooble's Best Blowing Gum was located was filled with bluebell-colored bubbles;

According to the description on the shelf, the bubbles blown by Drooble's Best Blowing Gum can float in the air for several days.

Fizzing Whizbees is actually a type of fruit juice milk jelly ball, a candy that makes people float in the air;

A salesperson was floating inside the shelf, holding a rope in his hand, presumably to prevent himself from floating to the ceiling and hitting his head in case of an accident.

There's also a very interesting mint ice cream that's shaped like a toad, similar to Chocolate Frog.

If you swallow it whole, it will occasionally twitch while it's melting in your stomach, which is quite stimulating.

At the Honeydukes shop, Wizet and Luna lingered for quite a while, selecting several interesting candies;

I plan to share some of it with my roommates when I get back, and send the rest to Xenophilius Lovegood.

The portion of candy intended for Xenophilius Lovegood consisted of strongly flavored candies, such as Licorice Wand, Pepper Imps, and Exploding Bonbons.

According to Luna, before the accident, Xenophilius Lovegood was very fond of Pepper Imps and would often perform for her and her mother how to breathe fire with his mouth.

These magical candies are incredibly creative. Just like the fire-breathing feature of Pepper Imps, they are actually a combination of several Potion Ingredients that create a fire-breathing effect without producing the high temperature of a real flame.

It's the weekend, Wizet was just subconsciously analyzing the ingredients of Pepper Imps because of its flavor;

He didn't intend to really delve into which Potion Ingredients were used in Pepper Imps.

The streets of Hogsmeade are equally bustling, with residents and tourists alike, but the majority of visitors are Hogwarts students.

Most of the students were carrying large bags and small packages. At the location of the Scribbulus Writing Implements, Wizet also saw Hermione and Ron, who seemed to be planning to buy some stationery to take back to school.

Of the third-year students, only Harry was unable to go to Hogsmeade due to the accident that happened during the summer vacation.

Neville mentioned this in the Mystic Corridor; Harry recently used his time after school to submit a paper to The 《Hogwarts Voice》.

According to what he knew, Harry's paper seemed to be related to the Repelling Charm that Lupin had just taught.

As planned, Wizet also published a paper titled "The Resonance of Magic and Hobbies: Doing What You're Good At" in The 《Hogwarts Voice》.

Inspired by this paper, Neville is also preparing his own.

He is particularly skilled in Herbology, so he plans to submit a paper to The 《Hogwarts Voice》 that will be related to Herbology.

Wizet and Luna turned into an alley and took a side path to the Hogsmeade Post Office to mail the packaged candy to Ottery St Catchpole.

On their way back to the main road, they encountered a group of professors;

Several professors from the required courses gathered together, just in time to head into the Three Broomsticks.

Lupin walked at the front. He must have seen Luna. After a slight surprise, he gave a kind smile.

Filius Flitwick was saying something and was about to turn towards where Wizet and Luna were when Lupin deftly turned to the side, subtly blocking Filius Flitwick's view.

He then casually opened the door to the Three Broomsticks and invited the professors to come in.

Lupin's actions brought smiles to both Wizet and Luna's faces.

Not wanting to disappoint Lupin, they changed course and headed to another pub in Hogsmeade — the Hog's Head.

Wizet and Luna entered the Hog's Head through the main entrance. Aberforth Dumbledore was wiping glasses, looked up and asked somewhat perfunctorily, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Hmm?" After Aberforth recognized the two of them, his tone remained rough but carried a hint of amusement. "Instead of going to the Three Broomsticks or Madam Puddifoot, you've come to the Hog's Head?"

During the daytime, the Pig's Hog's Head is rarely occupied; when Wizet and his group arrived, there wasn't a single customer.

With a broad smile, Aberforth picked up his wand and tapped the glasses, cleaning the two glass cups, which looked as if they were coated with a white film, until they were sparkling clean.

He placed the cups in front of the two of them, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get you some pomegranate juice!"
