Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Professor, I'm not a child anymore!" Harry said loudly suddenly, "You once told me that you were my father's friend and knew Black very well. You must know something! Why did Black kill Me? Why do you want me not to go to him?"

Hearing Harry's words, Professor Lupine was silent for a while.

"Harry, I shouldn't be the one to tell you some things, I don't have the qualifications."

"So you just keep it from me and say nothing like I'm a fool!" Harry took a deep breath and said in a lost, sad tone, "Professor, when the dementors go Get close to me, and I'll see and hear, you know?"

Professor Lupine shook his head with a worried expression.

"I could hear my mother screaming, I could hear her pleading with Voldemort. If you heard my mother screaming like that, before she was about to be killed, you wouldn't forget it." Harry's eyes were red "I can feel, Professor, that my parents' death must have something to do with Black! Malfoy once said to me: If it were me, I would choose revenge, and I would find him myself!"

"Harry, Malfoy is talking nonsense..." Hermione said worriedly.

"No, he must know," cried Harry, looking back at Professor Lupine. "Please, Professor, tell me the truth, for my parents' sake!"

Professor Lupine's expression was also very sad, and Harry's words had greatly touched him. He looked at Harry, as if vaguely seeing his old friend James.

"I need to speak to you alone, Harry!" Lupine said with a sigh. "You're right, we shouldn't keep it from you. If James' son doesn't know about Sirius Black, James must Will be very disappointed.”

Lupine led Harry to his office. Ivan, Hermione, and Ron stood in the dark hallway, looking at their backs with worried expressions.

"Ivan, what do you think Professor Lupine will tell Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Regarding his parents' past, anything is possible." Ivan thought for a while, not knowing how much Lupine was going to tell Harry, for fear that Harry would not be able to stand the excitement.

"Well, you can wait for Harry in the common room, I always feel that something is wrong." Hermione said in an uncertain tone, "Ron and I are going to Hogsmeade to buy everyone's Christmas Gift."

"I'm going to find Banban!" Ron, who was silent just now, said suddenly, his voice was very dull and monotonous.

"Ron?!" Hermione wanted to tell Ron not to worry about his rats, Scabbers would go back by himself.

But seeing Ron's appearance, she hesitated and said nothing.

Because of Crookshanks, she's in an awkward position when it comes to dealing with Scabbers.

"I'm going to find Scabbers!" Ron repeated again, regardless of the reactions of Ivan and Hermione, he walked up the tower without looking back.

Under the light of the torch, his long back looks extremely gloomy and weird.

Ivan frowned and looked at Ron. The other party's performance today was too abnormal. Whether he was facing Snape or Professor Lupine, he was too calm, which was not at all the same as the Ron he usually knew.

Also, how did Ron know that the parchment was the Marauder's Map? !

"What's the matter with Ron?!" Hermione said in surprise, "I can't go to Hogsmeade alone, there are too many things to buy, and I can't carry them!"

"If you don't object, I can accompany you, Hermione." Ivan suggested.

"No, Ivan, you will be discovered by the professors."

"I don't think so. I've been there many times, and I'm very familiar with the store in Hogsmeade. Just be careful not to be noticed by Filch." Ivan lifted the schoolbag in the handle , "Besides, Harry's Invisibility Cloak is still with me."

"But……"

Hermione hesitated, she knew that Ivan had indeed been to Hogsmeade many times before, and compared with Harry, Ivan didn't have to worry about Sirius Black and Dementors.

Since there is no danger and the professors will not discover it, it seems that I really have no reason to object.

Although this might violate the school rules, Hermione didn't care as much as she did when she first entered school. In the past two years, she has violated countless school rules.

Deep in Hermione's heart, there was also an indescribable strange feeling.

She hoped that Alvin could accompany her to Hogsmeade, especially at this time on Christmas Eve.

"I'll go through the secret passage behind the one-eyed witch statue on the fourth floor, Hermione." Ivan said in a relaxed tone, "That secret passage leads to Honeydukes Candy Store, you can wait for me there, see you later!"

Ai Wen left the foyer, walked quickly behind the one-eyed witch statue on the fourth floor, raised his head and glanced back and forth in the corridor, and there was no one but him.

"Left and right separation!" Ivan tapped the stone witch lightly.

The hump of the statue opens immediately, wide enough for a slightly thinner person to enter.

Alvin crawled forward into the hole with his head forward, and then advanced in the hole.

He preferred the wider passage behind the large mirror on the fifth floor to the narrow secret passage, which he had been using to get to Hogsmeade the previous term.

But just a few days into the school year, Fred and George told him that the tunnel had collapsed and was completely blocked.Now there is only one secret passage leading to Hogsmeade in the castle that Filch has not mastered.

Alvin slid forward for quite a long way, which was like a stone slide, and then he hit cold and wet land.

He stood up and looked around, and it was pitch black.

"Fluorescent flashes!" Ivan raised his wand.

The passage in front of me was winding, no different from the rabbit's tunnel.

Ivan walked hurriedly, stumbling and stumbling from time to time due to the uneven ground, holding his wand in front of him all the way.

About an hour later, Ivan came to the foot of a broken stone step, which stretched to a place he could not see above.

He rested for a while, panting heavily, and began to climb up.At level 3000 and level [-], Aiwen counted while climbing, focusing entirely on his feet. After about [-] levels, he suddenly bumped into something hard.

It was a floor door, and Ivan pushed open the trap door and climbed out.

As soon as he climbed out of the floor door, he smelled a strong smell of blood, as if there was a corpse hidden in the cellar.

Chapter 106

Ivan hastily pulled out his wand and looked around vigilantly.

There were chairs and boxes around him, and not far away was a wooden staircase leading upstairs, and he could hear the voices of various people above, ringing bells and opening and closing doors.

In the cellar, the sweet smell of candy and the pungent smell of blood mixed together, making Ivan feel sick. He cautiously approached a wooden box next to him.

The closer you get, the stronger the smell!

Aiwen was about to open the wooden box when he heard a sound of going downstairs and a woman's shouting.

"Honey, get another bucket of jelly slugs, they're almost buying us out of stock!"

"Got it." A figure came downstairs.

Ai Wen turned around in a hurry, and he saw a middle-aged man with a bald head coming down.

It was Mr. Ambrosio Froome, the owner of the Honeydukes Candy Shop. He walked into the cellar, and suddenly froze in place, looking at Ivan standing in front of him in surprise.

"Hello, Mr. Froome." Ivan said softly.

"It turned out to be you, Ivan. I was shocked. I thought someone ran into our warehouse." Froome breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "What are you doing with your wand?"

"I smell a bloody smell..." Ivan did not put down the wand in his hand.

"Oh, you've already smelled it!" Froome said hastily, "I just wanted to tell you about this. I wanted to ask you to advertise our newly developed candy in the newspaper."

"Uh, advertising?!" Ivan looked at the other party in surprise.

Froome came over and opened the bloody wooden box next to Ivan, which was filled with lollipops.

Aiwen was a little embarrassed. The bloody smell he smelled turned out to be the smell of this kind of candy. He hurriedly put away his wand. Fortunately, no acquaintances were here.

"The bloody lollipop, a new product in our store, doesn't seem to be highly recognized by everyone." Froome said with a frown, "Sometimes I really don't understand the taste of you little wizards, this is obviously a questionnaire The most anticipated candy on the Internet."

"Are you sure this isn't for vampires?"

"Of course not, I thought this kind of candy would be cool!" Froome continued, "But in fact, almost no one bought it. The inventory of these bloody lollipops has almost backlogged the entire warehouse. You need to help me, Aiwen, the publicity about the cockroach pile last time was very effective."

Ai Wen remembered the first advertisement he wrote for Honeydukes last semester, which advertised the cockroach pile of candy. He didn't take a bite of that thing, but until now, there are still rumors in the school that he likes to eat that thing.

"I'll help you spread the word, Mr. Froome!"

Ai Wen didn't understand that Honeydukes' traditional candy was very popular, but they have been persistently researching these inexplicable new products.

In short, Froome looked very happy when he heard Ivan's words. He packed a lot of bloody lollipops and gave them to Ivan.

When Ivan climbed out of the cellar with these almost impossible candies, he saw that the Honeydukes store was crowded with Hogwarts students.

There were so many people around, he didn't see where Hermione was.

Ivan walked among them, trying to find Hermione in one shelf after another.The next second, at the corner of a shelf full of chocolates, he accidentally bumped into a girl and knocked the candy she was holding to the ground.

"Sorry!" Aiwen lowered his head and picked up the scattered candies. He raised his head casually and saw a beautiful girl standing opposite him.

The girl has long black hair and is wearing the wizard robes of Ravenclaw College, with a smile on her face, giving people a kind and comfortable feeling.

"I was too focused when I picked out the chocolates just now, are you okay?" The girl looked at Ivan with a smile, "Hello, I'm Qiu Zhang, from Ravenclaw College."

Aiwen suddenly realized that this girl was Qiu Zhang, she was indeed very beautiful, no wonder Harry's unresponsive guy would be tempted.

"Oh, hello, I'm Evan Mason from..."

"I know you!" Qiu blushed suddenly, and she hurriedly explained, "I heard from Luna that we have subscriptions for every issue of the newspaper you run, and I think the articles on it are useful for everyone. Very helpful, and... anyway, the girls in Ravenclaw are pretty much talking about you right now."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Ai Wen didn't know that he was so popular with girls.

"I've heard of you too, you're Ravenclaw's Seeker!" Aiwen had nothing to say, other than this information, he only remembered that Qiu Zhang was Cedric Diggory's girlfriend, After the guy died, she had another fruitless affair with Harry.

Although the other party has rich emotional experience, but one has to admit that Qiu Zhang is indeed very beautiful.

"You also like Quidditch?!" Qiu seemed very happy to have found a common topic with Ivan, "I watched the game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and your academy is very strong, especially the Seekers. Lippert, he's very fast."

"But we still lost to Hufflepuff." Ivan continued, "I heard that you beat them in the game a few days ago!"

"It's just a fluke, their Seeker Cedric is also very good." Qiu paused, "But the other Hufflepuff players are not as good as Gryffindor, if you didn't encounter Dementor Strange……"

"Yeah!" Ivan nodded, not knowing what he was talking about.

It's a rare opportunity to get in touch with such a beautiful girl, but he talks about Quidditch endlessly here, and the most important thing is that he has no interest in this thing at all.

"Facing so many dementors at that time, I was almost hopeless! Thanks to your patron saint, you brought hope to everyone!"

The image of this thin boy fighting more than 100 dementors alone appeared in Qiu Zhang's mind. She will never forget that feeling in her life.

"Aiwen, are you alone?!" Qiu hesitated for a while, and then said with a flushed face, "We can sit in that teahouse outside for a while, I want to ask you how to use the Patronus Charm. Is there some trick, no matter how hard I try, it just makes the wand glow a little bit."

There is indeed a trick to casting the Patronus Charm, and Ivan is also willing to have an in-depth exchange with the other party.

Especially when Qiu Zhang took the initiative to send out the invitation, no matter how stupid he was, he understood what was going on.

However, he saw that Hermione had just walked into Honeydukes and was looking at him with a smile. After she saw Qiu Zhang opposite him, her expression quickly became vigilant.

It's really hard to choose between two beautiful girls.

From the bottom of his heart, Aiwen still likes Hermione more. As for Qiu, he just surprises her with her looks.

No other ideas at all, that's all!

Alvin took another look at the girl in front of him, is this really the case?

Chapter 107 Madam Puddife's Tea House

"Sorry, my friend is waiting for me over there!"

Following Ai Wen's eyes, Qiu Zhang saw Hermione standing at the door.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you." Qiu looked a little disappointed, and she said in a gentle tone, "Goodbye, Ivan!"

"Goodbye!" Ivan waved his hand.

"Who is this girl?" Hermione walked over and looked at Qiu's back suspiciously.

"Her name is Qiu Zhang, and she is a fourth-year Ravenclaw student. I accidentally knocked her down just now. I helped her pick up her things, and then she invited me to the Madame Puddiffe Teahouse opposite..."

"Madame Puddife's Tea House?!" Hermione repeated in a low voice, squinting. "She looks beautiful!"

"Yeah, it's really pretty..."

Ai Wen suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. He obviously hadn't finished his sentence, but Hermione, who was standing opposite him, felt alienated all of a sudden.

"Autumn is indeed good, but it's not my type." Ivan said cautiously, "In my mind, you will always be the most beautiful, Hermione!"

Hearing his words, Hermione's face turned red, and the tense atmosphere softened instantly.

"This is not your style, Ivan!" Hermione said in a serious tone, but her face was smiling. "You must have learned from Vicky."

Vicky Frobisher is Ivan's roommate, a handsome boy, but also very philandering, has chased many girls, and has a bad reputation in the academy.

"I really do think so."

Ivan looked at Hermione seriously, trying to recall in his head the tricks of chasing girls that Vicky told everyone before going to bed every night.

"Well, I'll trust you temporarily this time." Hermione dodged Ivan's gaze a little embarrassedly.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Ivan still remembered that Vicky said that this time is very critical, and we must take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we must not give the girls a chance to avoid it.

But what to do next, what to say? !
