HP's profit-seeking

By the time the last Saturday in October arrived, it was already very cold.Stacy and Roger left early in the morning.After they left, Danica, who was wearing thick clothes, wore a long scarf wrapped around her neck three times, covering half of her face, and finally put on a half-new black cloak and went out. .She and the Weasley twins made an appointment to meet in front of the statue of the one-eyed witch in the corridor on the third floor, so be careful not to be caught by others.

There are a lot fewer students in Hogwarts. Students in the third grade and above have passed Filch's review and left the school. The few who do not go are mostly staying in the warm dormitory like the first and second grade students. inside.Danica walked all the way from Ravenclaw Tower without meeting anyone.

When she reached the third floor, two brothers who looked exactly the same were already waiting in front of the statue, and one of them was holding a large, square, and very old parchment in his hand. When Ka appeared, he looked up and waved to her.

Danica trotted up to them, "Why are you here so early?" It was about 10 minutes before their agreed time.

Fred raised the parchment in his hand, on it was a very detailed map, and there were many small ink dots, "We saw from the Marauder's map that you were going out, and then we came out of the dormitory. A lady waiting is not what a gentleman should do."

"The Marauder's Map? Can I have a look?" Danica reached out her hand from her pocket. She had never heard of it, and she was really curious.

Fred slipped it to her, and George had slipped behind the one-eyed witch statue, and Danica followed with the Marauder's Map.George took the wand and said the spell: "Separate left and right!", and tapped the stone witch.

The one-eyed witch's hump opened, a hole big enough for a thinner man to enter.They climbed in one by one, and after advancing in the hole for a while, the stone path became more and more inclined, and finally turned into a stone slide.The three of them got down and started to slide. After sliding for quite a long way, they landed on a piece of cold and wet land like an arhat.It was dark all around, Danica was at the top, I don't know who she was pressing down on, she seemed to accidentally support his chest when she got up, pressed hard, and heard the man's muffled sound , she quickly said: "Sorry."

Then she raised her wand: "Luminescence!" Suddenly the narrow and dark space lit up, the Weasley twins were busy getting up, Danica looked around, they were in a very narrow and low passage, She raised the Marauder's Map tightly in her hand and looked at it carefully.

It was fantastic, with Hogwarts castle and grounds drawn in detail, with little ink dots moving across the map, each ink dot marking a name in tiny letters.In a secret passage on the map, Danica found her own name, George and Fred, written on two ink spots huddled with her.

"It's amazing! Whoever made it is a genius!" She handed the map back to one of the Weasleys who got up.

George took the map and patted the title on the parchment, "Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs, Makers of the Marauder's Map, what noble people, they explored every part of Hogwarts. A corner, leaving convenience for the next generation.”

Fred continued, "Wipe it off when you're done, or someone else will see it."

"Just one tap," George continued, holding his wand against the Marauder's Map, "The prank is over!" Instantly all the ink marks on the Marauder's Map disappeared, and it became a blank piece of parchment again .George tucked it into his robes.

Danica followed them down the passage, which was winding and uneven, and she walked cautiously.Fred and George hunched awkwardly, the aisle a bit short for them.

Fred went on, "We had a little trouble with Filch in first year." George added, and the two of them began to sing together again, "We put a big dung bomb in the hallway, because For some reason, this dung bomb was frustrating him—” “So he pulled us into his office and started doing the usual—” “—lock-up—” “—putting our bowels out Take it out—”

Danica retorted softly behind them, "Impossible! The most he can tell you is to clean the corridors, no magic."

George pretended not to hear, and continued: "—we noticed his filing cabinet drawers, and one of them read: Confiscated Supplies, Highly Dangerous. Oh my God, so fascinating." Fred continued , "I exchanged glances with George, and George immediately threw another dung bomb to distract him. I quickly opened the drawer and grabbed the Marauder's Map."

While talking, they had been walking for a long time, and finally the aisle began to stretch upwards, Danica began to pant a little, Weasley in front of her thoughtfully said: "Take my clothes, I will pull you away." She Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed his cloak.

Ten minutes later, they came to the foot of a broken stone step that stretched upwards with Danica unable to see the end.George and Fred stopped talking. They climbed hundreds of steps, unable to speak at all, only panting heavily.

The front stopped suddenly, and she bumped headfirst into Fred's back in front, and looked up to see that they were now standing under a floor door.George, who was standing at the front, slowly opened a gap and looked out secretly for a while, but there was no one outside, so he pushed open the floor door and climbed out first.Fred climbed out after him, reaching out to give Danica a hand after climbing out.

She looked outside. It looked like a cellar, surrounded by wooden chairs and boxes. Fred closed the floor door. The door was integrated with the dusty floor. not come out.George climbed up the wooden ladder that led upstairs again, and leaned against another floor door to listen.

Fred said to her in a low voice, "It's Honeydukes outside."

Danica nodded, she heard the voices of many people outside and the sound of doors opening and closing.George waved his hand for them to come, and they were ready to go out.The two of them climbed up the ladder quickly, and George opened the floor door and slipped out quickly, crawling on his back.Danica climbed out and found that the place where she came up happened to be behind the counter.They crawled to the side, then straightened up, blending into the crowd of Hogwarts students in the store with natural expressions.

Danica followed Fred and George around the honey tool, and she saw that the store had shelf after shelf full of weird candies.Chunks of buttery peanut bonbons, chunks of shimmering pink coconut sorbet, neat arrays of assorted chocolates, a vat of multi-flavored beans, a tub of sizzling bees...and a whole wall of "has "Special Effects" various candies, she saw the Super Bubble Gum that James Wood gave her as a birthday gift before, and the other Danica had never seen it before, so she couldn't help but stop and look.

After walking for a while, Fred and George found that Danica was gone, and turned back to look for her.Honeydukes was bustling, and as the two of them pushed past, Danica was watching with a tiny little black pepper urchin, and the instructions read "Breathe fire out of your nose for your friend!" , she kind of wanted to buy it and try it.

Fred had to lean into her ear and talk, it was so noisy in the store, "You want to buy this? I bought it and tried it before, and it only produced a small flame. George and I invented an improved version , go back and get it for you to play with."

The hot and humid breath sprayed into her ears, Danica resisted the urge to rub her ears, and put down the little black pepper urchin, "Okay, then I won't buy this."

When she finally walked out of Honeydukes, Danica only bought the most common zizi honey candies.

Then George and Fred said they wanted to go to the spice and joke shop and buy some funny stuff, which was also full of students, full of jokes and juggling stuff.As soon as the two of them entered the store, they were busy picking up dung bombs, burp sugar, and frog egg soap. Next to them, Danica also picked up a nose-biting teacup and looked at it. She was going to buy this.Danica noticed that there was not much left in the wallet after they checked out.When walking out of the seasoning, George whispered to her: "Our dream is to buy the seasoning, it is really great."

Afterwards, Danica bought a new quill and a large roll of parchment at the Wenrenju quill shop, and the twins took her to Devis and Bance's, a shop that sells magical equipment. Various magical props and equipment are provided inside.Danica walked around, looking at the Quidditch props, demon-proof glasses, and memory balls, and found a Weasley standing in front of a counter.She walked over curiously, tiptoed to look behind him, and found that he was holding a large looking glass in his hand, and she was reluctant to put it down.

"You want a looking glass?" she asked suddenly, which startled Fred. "Well, yeah, but it's too expensive for me."

Danica took the speculum from his hand and looked at it, and said: "I made a toy similar to it before, smaller than this one, if you don't mind, I can give you my speculum .”

Fred was very pleasantly surprised, "Of course not, thank you so much. You are amazing." The smaller and more delicate the looking glass, the more complicated the workmanship.

She shrugged and said it was nothing.

They probably looked around all the shops in Hogsmeade Village, and they were a little tired, so they decided to go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink.The small shop was crowded and noisy, warm and smoky, and a woman with a graceful figure and a unique face was dealing with customers at the bar. "That's Ms. Rosmerta," George said. "I'm going to get a drink. Fred and I want butter beer. What would you like, Danica?"

"Like you, I'd love to try butterbeer, too," Danica replied, and she and Fred sat down first at an empty table, a wonderful spot near the window.A moment later George came by with three big mugs of hot, frothy butterbeer.

Danica took a sip, the taste was really good, and the wine instantly warmed her up, so she couldn't help but take another big sip.

George and Fred raised their glasses and clinked glasses, "For our first visit to Hogsmeade aboveboard," "First visit to Hogsmeade with girls," "Cheers!", and then The two drank half of the butter beer in one gulp by exchanging glasses of wine.

George put down his glass, pointed out the window and said, "Danica, do you see that house over there? That's the Shrieking Shack, we're going to go there later." She looked in the direction of his finger, and he continued Said, "It's a place where even Hogwarts ghosts don't come, the scariest place in all of England."

"It is said that no one has ever been in it," Fred went on. "I asked Nearly Headless Nick, and he said that it was a huge bird-snake that lived in it. I really want to see it."

Danica was also attracted, "Birds and snakes? Magical creatures from the Far East. According to the book, they will automatically grow bigger and smaller according to the size of the enclosed space around them, just to fill the space, and their eggshells are made of pure silver." Yes, very valuable."

The twins' eyes lit up when they heard the last sentence. They both drank the butterbeer in one gulp and said to Danica, "Hurry up, we'll go to the Shrieking Shack right away."

She couldn't wait to drink most of the wine.Then the three of them got out of the three broomsticks and up a slope to the Shrieking Shack.It is located slightly higher than other houses in the village, and the windows are nailed with wooden boards. The garden is damp and overgrown with weeds, which makes people feel creepy just looking at it.

George and Fred climbed over the fence and excitedly walked around the house looking for the entrance, while Danica leaned on the fence and looked up at the haunted house. (She can't climb over the fence and can only watch from the outside)

The two of them went around and found that all the windows were tightly boarded, and the door was the same. Fred tried to open the door with a spell, but it didn't work.But George peered in through the gap between the door panels for a while, and then the two of them came down.

"How is it?" Danica asked.

"All the entrances are blocked, you can't get in at all," Fred said.

"However, I saw nothing inside. It seemed to be a dilapidated house." George continued.

Danica was a little surprised, "No way, there's nothing in it, why is it sealed so tightly?"

"I don't know." Fred stretched his hands, climbed over the fence neatly, and stood beside Danica and said, "It's getting dark, let's go back."

After George also found out, the three followed the secret path and returned to Hogwarts the same way.

It was already night when we returned to the dormitory.Danica pushed open the door and saw Stacy squirming in front of the mirror in her new clothes. When she saw Danica, she blinked and put on a coquettish pose. "Look at the new clothes I bought at the Fengya wizard clothing store today, do they look good?"

"Pretty good! This purple makes you super white, and it matches your golden hair very well." For the sake of friendship, Danica tried her best to praise. She was almost exhausted now, and she just wanted to fall on the bed quickly.

"Hee hee, I think so too. I have tried almost all the clothes in the store, and this is the only one I like the most." Stacy couldn't help turning around again, looking behind, "Roger He also said that this one is the best looking."

Danica silently sympathized with Roger for a second in her heart.

A few days later, it was the eve of Halloween. When Danica woke up in the morning, she smelled a sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin.Having managed to get through a day of classes, she and Stacy walked to the dining room in the evening to attend the Halloween banquet.When they walked into the restaurant, they were immediately attracted by the colorful Halloween decorations.A thousand bats fluttered on the walls and ceiling, and a thousand low clouds circled and danced over the dining table.

Danica asked Stacy to sit down at the long table in Ravenclaw first, and she went to the next table to find the twins who were joking with Lee Jordan.

"Hey, George, I got you a looking glass." Danica patted one of them on the shoulder, holding a small looking glass, about the size of a glass bead.

He took it, "Thank you, Danica," he took out a bag of colorful candies from his pocket and handed them to her, "Happy Halloween, friendly reminder, these candies are not ordinary candies, it's best to eat one at a time. Also, I'm Fred."

After Danica thanked her, she went back to the Ravenclaw table and sat down next to Stacy, who had just come and sat down.After a while, countless delicacies suddenly appeared on the golden dinner plate.

While she and Roger were discussing something about Muggles, and Stacy was eating a piece of pumpkin pudding, Professor Quirrell suddenly rushed into the restaurant, his big scarf on his head, his face full of horror expression.Everyone looked at him, and he walked to Professor Dumbledore's chair, sat on the ground crookedly, and gasped, "The troll—in the dungeon—I thought you should know." After speaking, he fell over and passed out.

There was a sudden chaos in the restaurant. "Trolls?! He's talking about trolls?!" Stacy asked, tugging on Danica's sleeve, her face turned pale with fright, "Why did trolls appear in Hogwarts?"

"My father also said that Hogwarts is the safest." Roger also seemed a little unbelievable.

In the chaos, Professor Dumbledore had to make a few piercing explosions of pyrotechnics from the tip of his wand before everyone fell silent.

"Prefect," he said in a low voice, "lead your college students to the dormitory immediately!"

Several Ravenclaw prefects got up immediately, two fifth-year prefects led the first-year freshmen, others followed the sixth and seventh-year prefects, and everyone hurried towards the gate outside the castle. Ravenclaw Tower walks away.

"How did the troll get in?" Danica couldn't help asking Stacy and Roger.

Stacy's face was already numb at this moment, and she squeezed through the bouncing and excited Gryffindor students, "I don't know, maybe someone put it in. Anyway, the professor and they already Rush to deal with it. All I know is that a good Halloween party gets screwed up by trolls."

When they got back to the Ravenclaw common room, everyone sat outside waiting for news.After a long time, their headmaster came over, and the little Professor Flitwick found a stack of books and stood on it, "Well, students, the troll has been driven away. About how it got into Hogwarts We are still investigating, now, you go to bed first, it is getting late."

Everyone returned to the dormitory sparsely, and Danica was also a little disappointed. It was really a bad Halloween party.She took out a candy from Fred, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into her mouth.After chewing a few times, Stacy asked her to help get the bathrobe in the bathroom. She wanted to respond, but just opened her mouth, a string of fire spewed out of her mouth, almost burning the curtain on the bed.

It's kind of interesting today, Danica thought.

The author has something to say:

1. Filch is a Squib.

2. Play guess who you are between George and Fred today too.

3. Nearly Headless Nick doesn't know what's in the screaming booth, and he says something different every time.

4. There is a trick-or-treating tradition on Halloween, and Fred gave Danica a bag of candy, apparently treating her like a child.
