Admiral of Hogwarts

263 Enterprise Discovery

"Maybe next year Harry will be able to go to Hogsmeade." After saying hello to Harry, Hugo and Hermione walked towards the town of Hogsmeade through the snow. On the way, Harry Min expressed her sympathy for Harry.

According to the handbook I checked earlier, the principal and vice-principal of the school actually have the authority to sign permission certificates for students who lack immediate family members. It’s just that neither Professor Dumbledore nor Professor McGonagall are willing to take risks outside this year——”

In fact, Hogwarts' policy in this regard is far less stringent than everyone thinks. Otherwise, the signature of Sirius, a recognized wanted criminal in the original text, on the form would definitely not be valid.

Chatting all the way, Hugo and the others soon arrived at Hogsmeade. The first stop here was naturally Honeydukes. In addition to bringing gifts to his parents, Hugo also needed to send Christmas gifts to his shipgirls. holiday gift.

"Rum-filled chocolate, blood-flavored lollipops—Hugo, did you really buy the wrong thing?" Hermione looked confused when she saw the big bag Hugo was carrying.

"No problem, this is mainly sent to friends." After paying the bill, Hugo explained to his sister on the way to the Owl Post Office. "You know, during the last game I met friends from abroad——"

After seeing Hugo writing addresses in Northern Europe, Germany, the United States and even Japan on each mailing list, Hermione, who was a little skeptical at first, gave up her doubts. After paying all the postage, the two of them walked outdoors into the snow and wind again.

The village of Hogsmeade looks like a Christmas card: huts and shops covered in crisp snow, holly wreaths on doors, enchanted candles Hang in a string on a tree.

"Hugo, Hermione, you came very early today." Just as the Granger siblings were thinking about where to go to warm themselves up, a female voice suddenly came from behind.

After turning his head, Hugo found Enterprise trotting over through the heavy snow wearing a black cloak embroidered with gold, holding a small handbag in his hand.

"Hal - Good morning, Sister Enterprise!" After finding out that the person who came was Enterprise, Hermione said hello, and then looked at the handbag in Enterprise's hand.

"I just bought the Firewhiskey from the Hog's Head Bar." After noticing that both Hermione and Hugo were focusing on their pockets, Enterprise opened the pockets in his hands to them and said.

There were two dusty bottles in the cloth pocket. The dust on them gave the impression that they had not been cleaned for at least ten years. You can even see a stream of ash coming out after the company opened the bag.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Seeing this, the company quickly closed the cloth bag and said, "That store does have a lot of good old wine, but it is still lacking in hygiene."

Because of Aberforth's way of running the business, the Hog's Head Bar was obviously dirty and messy. So it gradually became a remote place, which further attracted some illegal transactions.

Apparently, illegal businessmen like Mundungus couldn't afford good wine. Therefore, the Pig Head Bar naturally accumulated a batch of good old wines, and after discovering this, the company naturally did not miss this good opportunity to buy wine.

Because the company had joined, the three of them simply went directly to the Three Broomsticks Bar to prepare something to drink. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid and Minister of Magic Fudge sitting at the bar.

"Let's go over there." Enterprise lowered his head slightly and pointed to an empty table at the back of the room. “I would feel a little uncomfortable being around these senior faculty.”

Fortunately, there were many people in the Three Broomsticks bar now, and the light was not very bright, so Enterprise quickly took Hugo and the others around the bar and came to the table.

However, when they came to the table, they found that Ron had also walked over from the bar with two cups of hot butterbeer, and seemed to be sitting at the empty table.

"It seems that butterbeer is indeed somewhat popular - no." After seeing Ron, the company first joked, and then suddenly showed a vigilant expression as if it had thought of something.

"What's wrong, Sister Enterprise?" Hermione became nervous when she saw Enterprise suddenly put her hand on her wand. As she spoke, she also reached for her wand.

"It's okay." At this time, Enterprise removed his hand from the wand as if he remembered something, and then said to the two Granger siblings standing aside. "Let's just sit here."

So Hugo and the others sat at Ron's table. After sitting down, Hermione and Hugo were about to go to the bar to buy some drinks when they saw Enterprise suddenly grab the empty space next to them.

"Harry, why did you run out at this time?" Enterprise bent down and asked quietly. "It's not very safe for you out there right now."

"Professor Halsey -" Before Hermione could realize what was happening, half of Harry's face was revealed in the air. From the height of his face, it could be seen that he should be hiding in a half-crouched position. Under the table. "How did you find me?"

"Wet footprints on the ground, marks on the seats, two glasses of butterbeer in Ron's hand and an odd empty table here." Enterprise said, shaking his head. "The invisibility cloak is very powerful, but in my opinion there are flaws everywhere."

"Sorry, Professor, this has nothing to do with Ron. I ran out on my own this time." After realizing that he had been discovered, Harry simply crawled out from under the table and said. "

Don't worry, I'm not here to pursue this matter with you. Enterprise said with a smile, "After all, it is too inhumane to let you stay alone in the castle for the entire third grade." "

"But I think you should also know about the current security issues, so I will sit here with you for a while, and then we will go back to the castle together."

At this time, the professors near the bar started chatting with Fudge. From their chat, Harry learned that his parents had been betrayed by Sirius, and then returned to Hogwarts Castle with the Enterprise in a state of confusion.

"By the way, have you found your Scabbers?" After Harry and Enterprise left, Hugo looked at Ron and asked, "I heard Harry say that your pet mouse was lost."

"No, since we rested in the auditorium that night. Scabbers has never appeared again." Ron said with a depressed look on his face and took out his wand. "If I hadn't bought this new wand during the summer vacation, I might have had the money to buy a new pet."

"Aren't you looking for your pet?" Hermione asked with a frown. Since raising Ginger, she felt that this kind of humane pet brought him too much fun, so she didn't understand Ron. Why gave up looking for his pet.

"This mouse has been in my family for more than ten years. My father found it in the vegetable patch in the yard. It seemed quite well-behaved at the time, so he kept it as a pet for my brother, and then passed it on to me," Ron explained. The reason came up.

"During the summer vacation, I also asked the pet expert at the pet shop to help check it. The expert told me that my mouse was just a very ordinary vole. It generally only lives about three years, and those who live longer than seven years are very long-lived."

"Considering that Banban has lived for more than ten years and has not been in good condition since returning from Egypt. I think he probably felt that his end was coming and was afraid that I would be sad, so he left me."

Obviously, in the absence of Crookshanks this year, Ron was obviously thinking more rationally than the original text at the same time. So naturally he has another view on the disappearance of his pet rat.

"Well, I hope Scabbers can live happily in the mice's paradise." Hugo patted Ron on the shoulder and said, "As you said before, leaving quietly like this is not good for him who is suffering from illness. Saying that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
