"I didn't send signed photos,"
He protested vehemently,
"If Lockhart is still spreading such rumors--"
But he smiled when he saw Hagrid.
"I was joking,"
He patted Harry's back affectionately, causing Harry's face to hit the table.
"I know you haven't. I told Lockhart that you don't need to do that. You are already more famous than him without even trying."
After Hagrid and Harry finished talking, they pretended to talk casually to Sean next to Harry:
"Sean, I, I..."
At times like this, Hagrid can no longer control his feelings.
The little wizard helped him so much that sometimes he thought that the title of little Dumbledore really suited him.
Outside the house, the clouds parted, revealing the golden sun.
The snow that had accumulated in this house for decades melted into a trickling stream not long after he arrived.
This day.
Hogwarts is noisy, and students in third grade and above can freely come in and out Hogsmeade Village.
I envy the first and second grade wizards.
"If you go to Hogsmeade, I'll ask you to find a way, Sean."
In the castle, Justin was holding several Green's Notes collections. This is a new version they are about to launch, which basically covers all the contents of the second grade.
Now, Sean has to sign it and sell it as a collector's edition.
"Hmm."
Sean nodded, and the twins had already poked their heads out from behind a wheat field Oil Painting.
"Great Green!"
Fred seemed to have come back in a hurry, and there were cookie crumbs on his clothes.
"Please take it out quickly."
George said impatiently.
In Justin's confused eyes, Sean took out Marauder's Map.
He pulled out his wand, tapped Parchment lightly, and said:
"I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things."
This scene was really funny, and neither Gemini nor Justin believed it.
"Go to Hogsmeade,"
Fred covered his mouth while tracing the route of a passage with his fingers.
"There are seven in total. Filch knows these four--"
He pointed them out one by one,
"--We believe that only the two of us know these three, don't consider the one behind the Fifth Floor mirror. We used it last winter, but now it has caved in--completely blocked.
I guess no one has ever used this one, because Whomping Willow is planted right at its entrance.
The remaining one leads directly to Dungeon from Honeydukes, and we have used it many times. You may have noticed that the entrance is right outside this classroom, through the hunchback of One-Eyed Witch."
After the twins finished speaking, they ran away quickly. It seemed that they were too busy.
Marauder's Map has an interesting function, that is, when the wizard uses it, it can guide the wizard on what to do.
Such as now.
Justin was surprised to see a new black spot appear on the picture, marked Sean·Green.
This black spot is standing where Sean is actually standing, half way to Third Floor Corridor. If Justin looks closely, the little black spot Sean seems to be hitting the witch with a small magic wand.
Justin glanced at the small black dot of Sean, and then at the expressionless Sean.
Holding back his laughter, he quickly pulled out the real wand and knocked on the statue, but to no avail. He looked at the map again, and a tiny, tiny bubble appeared next to the black spot Sean, which read - left and right separation.
"It's so interesting, Dissendium! (Separation of left and right!)"
Justin whispered and knocked on the stone statue again.
Suddenly, the statue's hunchback opened, allowing a thinner person to get in.
"This is so magical--"
Justin sighed again,
"Are we ready to go?"
Sean nodded, and Justin quickly got into the hole and walked forward.
"Lumos.(Lumos.)"
Sean's wand was as bright as a lightbulb, illuminating the front.
They slid down the stone slide for a long way and then fell to the cold, wet dirt.
Then we walked forward for a while in a narrow and low dirt passage - the passage was winding and winding, more like a giant rabbit hole.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the bottom of a dilapidated stone staircase that extended to an invisible place above.
When Justin wanted to climb, Sean waved the magic wand.
On the other side, a staircase grew by itself.
Send them up.
"Be careful."
Before Sean finished speaking, Justin shrank his head, narrowly avoiding the trap door he was about to hit.
Open the trap door, and the lively shouts and noises emerge:
"Take another box of Jelly Slugs, honey, they almost sold out our place--"
A woman's voice said. The two of them looked at each other secretly, and the woman actually looked over.
"Not so good--"
Justin whispered and put on a Disillusionment Charm for himself. When he pointed his wand at Sean, the little wizard was no longer on the stairs.
There was only one Black Cat looking at him quietly.
"Cats are said to be seven times more responsive than humans."
He said inexplicably.
Honeydukes is crowded with students from Hogwarts.
Sean and Justin walked sideways in the crowd and glanced around.
Rows of shelves are filled with delicious and juicy candies, large pieces of milky yellow marzipan, sparkling pink Coconut Ice, honey-colored toffee, hundreds of neatly arranged chocolates, a large vat of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, and a large vat of Buzzing Bee Candy...
Against the other wall are "special effect" candies:
Chewable Super Bubble Gum (can fill a room with bubbles the color of bluebells that won't burst for days), and the strange and crunchy Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, the small and black Pepper Imps ("breath fire for your friends!"), Ice Mice ("Hear your teeth squeaking!"), Toad-shaped mint ice cream ("It will really jump in your stomach!"), Sugar Quills, and Exploding Bonbons.
"Let's go to Green's Bookshop, it's about to open,"
Justin took out something like a map, with the house of Hogsmeade marked on it.
"I have to say, Sean, I'm afraid we still don't have enough manpower.
In the past, when the store was not open, we could still postpone the payment. Now that we have a store, we should also determine a suitable time..."
The two walked through Hogsmeade.
Justin was smiling. He saw Hogsmeade snow falling on every eaves. As he spoke, Sean beside him responded in a low voice.
At this time, Hogsmeade looked like a Christmas card. The thatched roof hut and shop were covered with a layer of newly fallen snow, holly garlands were hung on the doors, and the trees were decorated with strings of enchanted candles.
It's always snowing here and it's always noisy.
They were quiet for a while, without speaking, and they could only hear the soft rustling of the snow.
But when passing by the Three Broomsticks, Sean saw an unexpected figure.
A figure hiding his face in a hood.
Sean easily identified him - Remus·John·Lupin.
