[hp] That Slytherin I've seen

Penelope, who returned to the dormitory, looked at the pendant in her hand. She could only go back to London at Christmas to find a chain.

But Penelope is very excited to be able to go to Hogsmeade village in the third year, after all, Honeydukes is there.

It was finally Saturday, and although Penelope really wanted to get up early, her bed was too tempting, so they didn't get ready until the afternoon.

The two walked along a small path, and she saw many familiar classmates. It seemed that Hogsmeade Village was going to be overcrowded today.

"I must go to the quill shop." Locke pushed her glasses, which she wore specially to pick out the most desirable quill.

Penelope had seen a map of Hogsmeade village before, but instead of the quill shop, she wanted to go to Honeydukes, or the Three Broomsticks, or the wizard clothing store is also good!

"I'd rather go to a clothing store, will there be bows there?"

"There must be! But I think the robes there are too gorgeous, and they are more suitable for those pure-blood families who are a bit pedantic."

The second half of the sentence was said by Locke quietly in Penelope's ear. After all, there are many Slytherins on the road, and one of them may be the descendants of the twenty or so pure-blood families.

Penelope tugged at the robe on her body, and made up the capes worn by the king and queen when they were crowned.

...Well, it's better to be simple!

When they arrived in Hogsmeade, the two split up, Locke went to the quill shop, and Penelope rushed to Honeydukes, Locke didn't seem to be keen on eating sweets, because she had tooth decay before, which made her go to Hogsmeade. A trip to St. Mungo's.

As soon as the door was opened, a sweet aroma came over her face, and the excitement in Penelope's eyes could not be hidden. She shook her pocket, which contained a lot of silver sique and gold Galleon.

To be honest, Penelope doesn't have much idea about wizard's coins, because those exchange rates have already given her a headache, and she always piles up pounds on the counter of Gringotts every time, waiting for the man who looks a bit fierce. Baba's Mr. Goblin trades her for a bunch of Galleons and Silver Thicks.

She was carrying a little basket, and the candy store was dreamy, like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, only without the chocolate waterfall.

The store was a bit crowded, and Penelope followed the flow of people, picking out candies while walking slowly.

Along with the obligatory bibimbaps and chocolate frogs, she also picked up plenty of pink, glowing coconut sorbets.

Something that looks good must be delicious!

She also took some sour lollipops, planning to use them to fool her friends, but most of them should not be fooled, after all, most of her friends are the second generation of native-born wizards.

When she saw the sugar quill, Penelope made a decisive move. This can be given to Locke, a pen that can be eaten in class, but it must not be eaten in the transformation class...

Penelope also picked up some Pepper Pucks and Black Pepper Pokes, the kind of candy that makes people smoke and fire in their mouths, and it looks like fun!

She seemed to have seen how she had successfully tricked her friend. When she handed the basket to Mrs. Froome at the cashier, the corner of her mouth never stopped smiling.

After paying the money, Penelope went to the clothing store again. Sure enough, what Locke said was right, the robes there were too gorgeous, and those dark patterns and piping were not very suitable for students.

She also bought a bunch of stuff from the Magic Joke Shop, a nose-biting teacup she was going to give to Sev, who always liked to put on a straight face.

She stuffed a Bibi multi-flavored bean into her mouth. As soon as the yellow candy touched the tip of her tongue, the sour taste of lemon exploded immediately.

"Well……"

Penelope endured the sour water in her mouth, she thought she must be out of luck.

Because she didn't get the sweet one for the first one.

She put away the other Bibi multi-flavored beans, and was about to find Locke, but just as she passed the corner, she bumped into a figure.

The man was holding a pile of newspapers in his arms, and Penelope took several steps back after being hit to ensure that he would not fall to the ground. The newspapers were scattered in the air, then fell quickly, and successfully hit the heads of two people.

And that person was apologizing all the time, he stood up from the ground, tore off the newspaper that fell on his head, and hurried to Penelope.

Penelope tilted her head, and the young man in front of her looked familiar. He was wearing a Ravenclaw robe, no wonder he was holding the pile of newspapers.

"It's okay." When Penelope knelt down and was about to help him pick up the newspaper, she saw a bright title on it: "The Crucible and the Maiden (Chapter 20)"

Okay, she probably knows who the boy is.

The most damning thing is that there are twenty chapters in a row!

Penelope puffed her mouth, she suddenly didn't want to forgive him very much.

As soon as Luther raised his head from the pile of newspapers, he met Penelope's angry face. He was suddenly a little shy. It turned out that his muse was not only cute when she was blowing up the crucible, but also cute when she was angry. ah……

"Here you are!" Penelope put the newspaper she picked up in Luther's arms. She had read the article just now. Professor Ghorn's robe made a hole, isn't that what she did!

How could anyone watch this kind of thing!

Penelope was a little angry and a little embarrassed, she turned and walked away, trying to forget the words.

But Luther didn't really want her to get what she wanted. He hurriedly called Penelope, still holding the pile of newspapers tightly in his hands, "Wait! Penelope!"

"I still have something to do!" Penelope yelled, and she ran forward without looking back until she felt that Luther could not catch up with her.

Luther did not catch up with her, because she... got lost...

Looking at the tree in front of her and the hut standing in the forest, Penelope felt a little scared. This place was different from the noise on the streets of Hogsmeade, and there was a trace of eerieness in the quietness, even the birds were unwilling to land on it. Here are the trees.

The hut in front of me was a bit dilapidated, to be honest, saying it was dilapidated would be an exaggeration, the fence outside the house was erected crookedly, the door of the hut was ajar, the ground was covered with thick dust, and cobwebs could be seen from the door.

No one has been here for a long time.

Penelope thought she knew where it was, the Shrieking Shack, said to be the scariest place in Britain.

She was no Gryffindor.

Penelope turned around resolutely, and was about to return to the streets of Hogsmeade. There was no one here, and she was too afraid to tell others.

Just as she took the first step, there was the sound of a bottle being broken suddenly from the hut, and a man called out Merlin in surprise.

It might not be a bottle, or some other glass product, but the sound was so abrupt in this silent place.

And the sound of Merlin.

Penelope felt like she could swear on the candy in her next life, definitely James.

She went back to the hut and tentatively called James' name.

Her voice even echoed here, the surroundings returned to silence, and there was no movement in the hut.

It was getting late, and only the west where the sun had sunk was still a little pale.

Penelope frowned, she was thinking about whether she should go in, it didn't look very safe here.

She stepped into the fence and up the dusty steps.

There was a distinct creaking sound from the wooden steps, and Penelope could even see some dust getting on her shoes.

"James?"

"Sirius?"

She stood at the door and yelled twice, but still no one answered, which made her wonder if she heard it wrong.

There was no movement in the hut, which made Penelope heave a sigh of relief. She patted her chest, and it turned out to be a false alarm.

Just as she was about to leave, Sirius' voice suddenly came from the cabin.

He sounded a little flustered, and was yelling to go quickly, when Penelope stopped, and tentatively called Sirius' name again.

The hut was silent again.

This time Penelope is very sure that they are definitely inside, and they should be going on an adventure, after all, they like this kind of action very much.

She took out her wand, and pressed the tip of it against the door of the Shrieking Shack.

It's true that no one has been here for a long time, because the dust fell on her head, and the flying dust made her cover her mouth and cough several times.

"Lumos."

A little fluorescent light appeared on the tip of the wand, making the dark environment a little brighter.

Penelope carefully discerned where to place her footing, making sure she wouldn't trip over something or step into a hole.

While looking for Sirius and James in the room, she called their names.

Until she came to the stairs to the second floor.

A head popped out of there, and it was Sirius, and Penelope recognized his gray eyes, and the red Gryffindor badge that stood out in the dark.

"Oh, Merlin's socks." He patted his forehead, looking a little annoyed, "Pepe, you shouldn't have come here."

Penelope was visibly relieved when she saw Sirius, and she walked up the stairs cautiously, "I got lost, and then heard you and James, and you didn't sound very good."

Sirius also used fluorescent flashes. The last step of the stairs was empty. He reached out his hand to give Penelope a hand and explained, "We just encountered some minor problems, which can be easily resolved."

"Well, blame me for being nosy." Penelope curled her lips, she was a little unhappy, although it was a bit reckless for her to come here alone, "Since you have nothing to do, I'll go first."

She turned around, ready to leave this damned gloomy house.

Sirius realized that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly stopped in front of Penelope, and explained: "I didn't mean that, but the current situation is more complicated..."

This made Penelope confused, she tilted her head, "Didn't you say it was easy to solve?"

"It's easy to solve, but..."

Sirius hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind. He said seriously, "Pepe, I can tell you about this, but you must keep it a secret."

"Ah?" Penelope frowned. What made Sirius so serious?

She nodded, and watched Sirius beckon to her, signaling her to follow.

The two walked through the winding corridor again, and stopped in front of the door at the top. Sirius put his hand on the doorknob, and said to Penelope, "No matter what you see later, don't be surprised. And James will explain it to you."

Penelope nodded, and the door opened.

When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, her first reaction was to close the door.

Because of the well-mannered-looking teenager: Remus Lupine being strapped to a chair, and the other Marauders, Sirius next to him, James and Peter in front of Lupine, James holding a piece of cloth ready stuffed it into Lupine's mouth.

"Are you...are you preparing to kill someone?"

In the last few chapters, I can feel that my writing is terrible, maybe the pressure is not strong enough (?) Wait for a while to fix it
