Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 62 Peaceful Time

No one except Wood seemed to care much about Gryffindor's defeat at Slytherin.Winters originally thought that Aurora would be dejected, but she just drank a glass of cider as if she was angry, and then took a long breath and said:

"I tried my best"

"Of course you try your best. I saw your wrists were red from the cold when you came down. Here is a hot towel. Apply it to your hands quickly." Winters looked at Aurora's hands worriedly.In order to control the broom more sensitively, his sister did not wear dragon skin gloves.

As the first Quidditch match came to an end, Hogwarts returned to calm again.But this semester is a little different from before. Since Hogsmeade Village is open to third-year students again, many students choose to go to Hogsmeade Village to spend their weekends every weekend.One weekend Elsa finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"You really don't want to go to Hogsmeade? Sly, please stop moving and I'll apply medicine to you."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Slaer kept gasping because of the strain on his right arm.

"What about the team leader's opinion?" Winters looked at the dummy as the target absentmindedly.

"Oh, let me do everything that offends people, right?" Elena looked at Winters dissatisfied.

"You are the team leader," Winters said confidently.

"Then we'll stop for one day tomorrow... I'll tell you why you don't want to be the team leader," Elena said dissatisfied.

"I'm already busy with teaching duties." Winters glanced away unnaturally.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. How about you add more things for me to get scolded for in the future?" Elena raised her eyebrows.

"That's what you said, don't go back on your word." Winters said and ran away.

"You can hide from today, but you can't hide from tomorrow!" Elena yelled unwillingly, knowing that she couldn't catch up with Winters.

After entering February, the howling north wind has stopped and the temperature has begun to spiral upward.The hiding bird returned to people's sight again.

On Sunday, Winters was awakened by a violent noise, as if an animal was scratching at his window.He wakes up and finds out it's the Wind Rider.It stared longingly at the snacks on Winters' bedside table. It was very dirty.

"It's been a crazy day, and I didn't even bother to eat - clean it up." Winters looked at his pet dumbfounded.He placed the bag of dehydrated beef jerky in front of the golden eagle.The Windrider almost threw his whole body into the bag.

"It wouldn't have done this if it wasn't hungry." Ron had been woken up and was looking for his coat in a daze.

"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade?" Winters had already put on his coat and picked up his wand.

"I just went there yesterday with Harry and Hermione. I recommend a very good store to you: the Beehawk's Nest. If you don't go there, you will regret it," Ron said mysteriously.

"Since you said that, I must be going somewhere to take a look. Do you need me to bring you something?" Winters saw a large bag of snacks on Ron's bedside table.Judging from the color, it should be some kind of dessert.

"Hmm... You can also buy some pineapple cake, or honey cake - by the way, that store sells blueberry pie. I personally taste it very good," Ron said seriously.Winters waved to his friend and walked out.

When he arrived at the auditorium, he already saw Aurora waiting for him, and they took a short bus ride to Hogsmeade.

There are a lot of people in Hogsmeade. Since Hogsmeade is the earliest settlement of wizards, the appearance of the buildings here has hardly changed.Time seems to have frozen here. Diagon Alley is the wizard's market, and this is the wizard's living area.In addition to various dessert shops, there are also pharmacies and hospitals.

Winters confirmed that he heard several people saying:

"High blood pressure, Muggle medicine is useless"

"When have Muggle medicines been used? It took me a week to get better after taking those Muggle medicines."

Signs of various dessert shops were hung on the crooked stone houses, and wisps of smoke came out from those crooked stone houses.If you approach those dessert shops, you will smell a faint smell of milk and fruit, which makes people salivate.

After asking several people, Winters finally arrived at their destination: the Beehawk's Nest.This dessert shop looks like a three-story building from the outside, but its internal space has become very large under the influence of the stretching spell, and there are a lot of people sitting inside.A brown bear waves to every customer who enters the store.

"Winters, Aurora, you two are a little late." Elena sat by the window and waved to him.Elsa and Slyer were holding dishes while discussing what to eat.

"Blueberry pie, and pineapple crisp and honey cake." Winters had seen what was on the menu.

"You're welcome," Slyer said with a smile.

"Then add a large chocolate - your favorite." Aurora's words made Slyer's eyes shine.

"Where are you two? This is not the time to lose weight." Winters looked at Elena and Elsa.

"I want a big steak. What about you? Elsa, what do you want? You've been looking at it for half an hour."

"I...um...a medium portion of grilled cod" Elsa finally made up her mind.

"I haven't been this leisurely in a long time," Winters praised.Several round sparrows were looking at them outside the window.

"This kind of leisurely time will never be less in the future, but if life continues to be so leisurely, there will be problems." Elena always likes to throw cold water on others.

"You always like to say some thought-provoking words... Is this a reward for being sick?" Winters said pretending to be serious.

"When you go around the edge of life and death, you will be like me," Elena said simply.

"No, I don't want to... I don't like that feeling," Winters said immediately, and the sight of Elena's extreme weakness cast an indelible shadow in his mind.

"Okay, you two, come over. Let's discuss what we are doing. I'll get some drinks." Elsa left her seat.

"This is the second cafeteria of Hogwarts, or the weekend cafeteria of Hogwarts." Slyer found many acquaintances. Anne Heather was chatting with her roommate, and they laughed heartily from time to time.

"If you don't say the second half of the sentence, you can improve your accuracy. Hogwarts senior students' late-night snacks are all provided by Hogsmeade Village, and it's not just this one store." Elena obviously knows it very well.

"As you said, I want to open a store here after graduation. This is a long-term business," Slaer said happily.

"This is not easy. These stores are family businesses. It is very difficult for outsiders to squeeze in." Elena couldn't help laughing.While they were talking, Elsa had returned, followed by a walking dining cart and a tall and thin male waiter.

"You have all the delicacies. A large steak, a medium grilled cod, 2 blueberry pies, and a large chocolate cake. Take a look, that should be it," the male waiter said respectfully. .

"That's right." Slaer couldn't bear it.

"I'll leave the bill here. I wish you a pleasant meal." After saying that, the waiter left.

"It tastes really good," Winters took a bite and kept praising.

"The taste at home, I can only say this, is the same as what my mother makes." Obviously Aurora agreed very much.

Then their topic gradually shifted to this semester's comprehensive ability practice.Aurora looked a little worried.

"You don't have to worry too much about this. Although Shadow Island is notorious, the place we went to is a practice base with complete protection measures.

Going to the Shadow Island is nothing more than giving us a clearer understanding of what the most primitive dark magic creatures are like. Those primitive black magic creatures are not comparable to the teaching tools of Hogwarts." Slyer is not worried about comprehensive practice at all. The difficulty of the test.

"If you are really afraid of getting a bad grade, then I will definitely help you. But you are always exhausted from Quidditch practice" Winters comforted Aurora.

"People's energy is always limited. I also like Quidditch, but compared to the excitement that Quidditch brings to me, I prefer to explore the secrets of magic." Elena shrugged.

Aurora was silent as they walked back, making a difficult decision.Although she always wanted to be a professional Quidditch player, when it came time to make a choice, it was so difficult.
