Three Girls Together II (Huge Thanks to Crazy Oregano! Another Bobo Milk Tea)
Callis caught a glimpse of the stunned group standing at the door, then recognized Malfoy and Blaise as they entered. A panicked scream exploded in her mind— Merlin's beard! Why did they have to come at this hour?! Being caught in this embarrassing situation made her want to disappear into the ground. She frantically chanted in her mind, "Can't see me? Can't see me? Can't see me!" Her fingers gripped her skirt tightly, wishing she could shrink into Danzo.
Just as Callis was at a loss and desperately trying to hide herself, Madam Puddifoot quickly came out from behind the counter and greeted the door warmly, "Oh dear, we have a guest! Please come in, please come in!"
Blaise exclaimed in surprise, "Callis?"
Callis is pretending to be dead...
Blaise walked over and grabbed Callis by the back of the neck.
"Oh dear, what are you doing!" A helpless Callis turned around to face the group, her eyes darting around nervously. "Haha, how embarrassing..."
Malfoy looked at Callis in surprise. "What happened? You... your family went bankrupt?"
"Even if your family goes bankrupt, my family won't!" Callis roared angrily at Malfoy.
"Then why are you working here? And dressed like that..." Su Yu chimed in from the side.
At this moment, Blaise touched Callis's cat ears and said, "Are you here to experience life on Earth?"
"Hey! You... you... don't touch me like that!" Callis was too embarrassed to speak anymore. "I'm just filling in for you, Chief, do you believe me?"
Su Yu and the others shook their heads. Blaise joked, "Do you think I believe you or not?"
Callis rolled her eyes. "Guess whether I guess or not?"
Su Yu and his companions walked into the teahouse with smiles and sat down casually, with Blaise even crossing his legs.
By this point, Callis had completely given up on explaining. "What do you want to drink? Just say it!"
Madam Puddifoot reminded Callis that she should treat the guests well and not act this way.
Callis reluctantly forced a smile. "Haha, welcome! What would you esteemed customers like to drink?"
The three women couldn't help but chuckle at Callis's expression, and like Su Yu and Malfoy, they ordered Earl.
Blaise said like an old man, "An iced Americano, but not bitter."
"Why don't I make it so sweet it'll kill you?" Callis gritted her teeth. "Hehehe, please wait a moment, it'll be here shortly..."
Once Callis left, the group couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The group stopped laughing only after Callis brought out their drinks.
Blaise looked at Callis earnestly and said, "If you're ever short of money, I can sponsor you."
Callis looked completely bewildered. "You're giving me money to spend?"
"Cough, yes..."
"You fucking want to be my dad?!"
"Pfft..." Su Yu and Malfoy spat out their tea, while the girls were laughing so hard they were doubled over on the sofa.
Blaise looked completely bewildered. "Seriously? Are you crazy?!"
"Then tell me yourself, besides my dad, who would tell me that my money is for you to spend?"
Su Yu said helplessly, "What's wrong with your head...?"
"Chief, why are you resorting to personal attacks..." Callis said, feeling wronged.
Blaise had resigned himself to his fate. He got up, tapped Callis on the forehead, and left with Malfoy. What bad luck.
Callis even let out a yelp, muttering that it hurt terribly and she was so annoyed...
Later, the girls chatted with Callis and learned that Callis really was there to fill in for someone else; a fifth-grade student had won her over with an ice cream feast...
The four of them walked out of Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop and stepped back into the street where light snow was still falling. Just as they reached the Honeydukes, Su Yu suddenly stopped.
He caught a glimpse of a series of clear footprints appearing out of thin air on the pristine white snow beneath his feet, slowly moving forward, but there wasn't a single person in sight.
The next second, a faint glimmer appeared in Su Yu's eyes, and his Tenseigan quietly activated. His gaze pierced through layers of snow and light, and he instantly saw the owner of the footprints— Harry. He was wearing the Invisibility Cloak, crouching down and moving cautiously, his whole body hidden in the shadows, except for his footsteps that broke through the snow and left a gap.
He quietly circled around to the set of footprints, and taking advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, suddenly raised his hand and slammed it down heavily under the cloak.
Harry was so startled that he jumped high into the air, his Invisibility Cloak nearly slipping off his body and exposing him to the street.
Harry crouched in the snow, panting heavily for a long time, his cloak askew. When he finally came to his senses, he could only stare at Su Yu speechlessly, utterly at a loss for words.
Seeing his expression, Su Yu smiled and asked him how he had managed to sneak out of school.
Harry pursed his lips, reluctantly pulled the rolled-up Marauder's Marauder's Map from his robes, and tapped it with his wand. "I solemnly swear I will not do anything good."
The parchment immediately unfolded, revealing all the passageways and figures of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
"The Weasley Twins gave it to me," he whispered. "There are seven secret passages marked on the map. I took the one on the third floor with the One-Eyed Witch Statue —knock on her hunchback and say ' Dissendium,' and the statue will open a hole, allowing you to slide directly into the Bee Duke's cellar."
He pointed towards the candy store at his feet. "I crawled out of the cellar, put on a cloak, and wandered around the village, never expecting to be caught by you..."
Harry glared at Su Yu again, about to press the map back to "Mischief Managed," when Su Yu suddenly Teuchi him. "Wait a minute."
His gaze fell directly on the unfolded parchment, his eyes narrowing slightly. On the map, the two dots representing Theodore and Olivia were pressed together, hidden in a deserted corner, one facing forward and the other backward, their positions overlapping, making it look as if the two were embracing each other.
Seeing the two figures standing close together on the Marauder's Map, Su Yu didn't say anything more. A playful smile appeared on his lips as he casually pulled out Slytherin's Group Chat Notebook, gripped his wand, and began writing furiously on it, repeatedly calling out to Theodore.
Far away, Theodore felt the Group Chat Notebook in his arms vibrate incessantly, almost making him drop it. After enduring it for a while, he finally reluctantly opened the notebook and replied:
"Chief, what is it?"
Su Yu typed another line on the Group Chat Notebook: "What are you doing?"
Not long after, Theodore's reply appeared leisurely, "Writing a paper."
Looking at the two glowing dots still stuck together on the Marauder's Map, Su Yu couldn't help but teasely reply:
"You were writing your thesis and ended up in Olivia's arms? Were you two kissing?"
The moment that sentence appeared in the group chat, Theodore's side exploded, with a barrage of question marks flooding the screen.
Almost simultaneously, everyone in the Slytherin chat group started spamming question marks, the dense array of question marks instantly covering the entire notebook page.
Seeing the chat explode with question marks, Su Yu contentedly put away the Group Chat Notebook, waved to the bewildered Harry, and told him to be careful to avoid the Dementor and the professor, return to school through the secret passage as soon as possible, and not linger in Hogsmeade.
Harry nodded, quickly pulled his Invisibility Cloak tighter around himself, which was about to slip off, and hurried away in another direction.
After resolving the matter here, Su Yu turned to the three women beside him, smiled, and gestured for them to continue. The group then strolled leisurely along the snow-covered streets of Hogsmeade, browsing the shops along the way.
However, as they strolled along, they gradually noticed something unusual—there were noticeably more Goblin in Hogsmeade Village today than usual.
They mostly wore dark-colored short jackets, gathered in twos and threes at street corners and shop entrances, talking quietly. Their eyes seemed to casually sweep over pedestrians, but in reality, they carried a subtle vigilance and probing.
In the afternoon, another commotion broke out in Hogsmeade Village —a few local wizards and Slytherin students got into a heated argument for some unknown reason, which quickly escalated into pushing and shoving, and looked like it was about to get out of hand.
Pedestrians quickly made way for them, and whispers and murmurs arose.
This time, the Slytherin students didn't waste any words. With a wave of their hands, they activated Ancient Magic, instantly immobilizing the wizards opposite them.
Professor McGonagall rushed to the scene, surveyed the crowd with her stern gaze, and sternly stopped both sides from escalating the conflict.
However, due to two separate incidents in which Slytherin students instigated conflicts in Hogsmeade Village, resulting in multiple injuries and permanent disabilities, Professor McGonagall immediately and solemnly announced:
"Slytherin, deduct fifty points."
The Slytherin students present remained calm, as if they didn't care about the points deducted at all. They continued doing what they were doing, turned around and casually merged back into the crowd, continuing to stroll along Hogsmeade Street, showing no signs of being affected whatsoever.
Not far away, the Goblin who had been lingering in Hogsmeade Village for a long time had witnessed the conflict and the Ancient Magic used by Slytherin. As the crowd gradually dispersed, they exchanged cryptic glances, lowered their hat brims, and silently turned and disappeared into the streets and alleys, sneaking away from the village one by one.
The only one who's unhappy is probably Harry.
He had sneaked into Hogsmeade with great joy; but in the Three Broomsticks, hiding under the Invisibility Cloak, he overheard McGonagall, Flitwick, Hagrid and Fudge's conversation—he learned for the first time that Sirius Black his godfather, and was even overheard that Black had betrayed his parents, leading to their tragic deaths, and that he had personally killed a wizard and several Muggle.
Those words struck him like a hammer blow. He staggered back through the secret passage, his mind filled with the truth that his best friend had betrayed his parents. He was completely distraught and restless, having lost all the enthusiasm he had shown on the way there. He returned to the castle with a heavy heart and unease.
