Since he arrived at the Three Broomsticks a little later than the agreed time, Draco had to complain for a while.But the formation of the afternoon was quite pleasant, Rong Jiu spent all the money in his pocket on Honeydukes, the boss was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and even gave her a big bag of candy.

"Aren't you good at making food by yourself? What did you make last time... what is it? It's so delicious. Why do you buy so much?"

Draco was talking about the puff pastry she made at Malfoy Manor during the holidays.Knowing that she was not used to eating here, besides signing the form for applying to go to Hogsmeade, Mr. Rong also sent her a stack of recipes, all of which were handed down from generation to generation by the Rong family. Together with those spell books, people have to sigh that the cells of foodies are indeed genetic.Rong Jiu chose a few that looked easier to make, and tossed several meals with Dobby before he tossed out a bowl of more perfect crispy cheese.Narcissa loved it.

The speaker didn't care, but the listener meant it. Pansy Dobres's expression lit up, and he wished he could tie Rong Jiu back to the Hogwarts kitchen immediately, so that they could have a taste of something new this evening.

Seeing everyone's greedy looks, Draco proudly took out a small bag from his clothes and waved it in front of everyone: "See? These are all my favorite food."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of pea yellow from the inside, threw it up, and it fell perfectly into his mouth.

Before the other people could react, the boss suddenly jumped forward: "Miss, can I talk to you?"

"What are you talking about?" Rong Jiu asked curiously.

The boss looked around at the small bag in Draco's hand: "I want to talk about these novel delicacies."

"Oh?"

"These things are all made by the young lady herself? I don't know how they are made?"

Rong Jiu smiled slightly: "It's just a common thing in my hometown."

"Excuse me for being abrupt, isn't your hometown far away?"

"Yes." Rong Jiu nodded.

The boss rubbed his hands together: "It's like this... You see, although the business of our small shop is barely passable, but for so many years, it has always been these few things... If you are willing to share the recipe of the dim sum in your hand, the condition is We are all negotiable."

When Draco heard that, his expression turned sour: "Discussion? What are you negotiating with?"

"Honorable Master Malfoy, please don't be angry." The boss quickly explained, "First of all, we only have this store, and secondly, the Malfoy family is not involved in food-related businesses, so this will not affect the Malfoy family. What's the impact."

Rong Jiu smiled slightly: "Then you may have to discuss it with Mr. Malfoy. He is my guardian. I think there is nothing wrong with negotiating with the guardian, right?"

The boss was taken aback: "Oh, you're Miss Malfoy? That's so abrupt."

But although there is some heartache, after all, Lucius is a famous old fox and a big profiteer. He is a little bit raped, but he is also big.Being able to get in touch with him, such a small amount of money is not too bad.

And... what is the name of the little girl in front of her?Cassiopeia?Since he could be favored by Lucius and received into his own family, it shows that he is also superior. At this time, Duo Duo has made friends, and I think his benefits will be indispensable in the future.

Thinking of this, the boss smiled even more obsequiously: "If I reach an agreement with Mr. Malfoy, the shop will send Miss Malfoy and the young master some newly made snacks every month. It's not a rare thing, it's just a little thought from me. "

Draco's complexion got better now, but it was still not very good-looking: "Oh? Not everyone is qualified to do business with the Malfoy family."

The boss gritted his teeth, looked around, and leaned forward: "If... If you don't mind, I think I can share a secret with you."

"What secret?" Rong Jiu's curiosity was aroused again.

The boss looked like a thief and motioned for the two to come over.Draco followed straight away, Rong Jiu and his friends smiled apologetically: "Wait for us to come out, can you?"

"Well, let's talk when we come out." Blaise said he didn't mind, but Pansy and Theodore's faces were not very good.But no matter what position they came from, they couldn't object, they could only stand where they were.

The two followed the boss and walked in together.Passing through the crowded students, I came to the back hall, walked down a small wooden ladder, and came to a cellar with boxes of candies piled up inside, exuding a sweet smell.Rong Jiu couldn't help but took a deep breath, while Draco was impatient: "What are you bringing us here for?"

The boss twisted through several boxes, came to the innermost, and moved a small box, revealing the board underneath.He turned his head and lifted the small board: "That's it, Master and Miss Malfoy."

"This is……?"

"Secret road, master and miss." The boss replied, "Leading to Hogwarts."

Rong Jiu and Draco looked at each other and took a breath.

"Where does it go?" Draco asked again.

"Hogwarts, Master Malfoy," the boss repeated.

Rong Jiu asked: "Then where is its entrance?"

The boss showed a wry smile: "To be honest, I don't know about this--I didn't even find out about it. Some students got out of here before and negotiated business with me. I don't know what's going on at the other end." clear."

Draco snorted, "Oh, since you don't own it, and it's not even something that only you know about, you just take this - talk to the heir to the Malfoy family?"

"Of course not, master!" The boss hurriedly stated, "Look, the entrance of this is in my small shop, and I have certain control rights, master! I am willing to hand over the control of this secret passage to you!"

"Control?" Draco sarcastically said, "What control do you have?"

"Without your permission, no one can enter through this secret passage!" The boss said sincerely, "If you don't like it, I will seal the exit. As long as you don't agree, no one can come out."

Only then did Draco show a gentle smile: "Come on, you don't need to control anything, but I want you to record all the people who come and go from here, and I will see it next time."

The three talked about some details, but most of them had to be counted by Lucius nodding.Just like that, the boss was already very happy, not only wanted to refund all the money that had been taken in before, but also gave her a big bag of candies.

"No need." Draco ordered the food for Rong Jiu, but did not accept the money back.For him, accepting something is to accept filial piety, and asking for the money back after buying something is an insult—would the Malfoy family lack the money to buy things?

Although they already had this secret passage, Draco and Rong Jiu did not decide to explore one or two today. In exchange, no one else became suspicious—after all, no matter how big your brain is, you can’t figure out that the owner of the candy store provided you with a secret way.Everyone was just clamoring for Rong Jiu to go back and go to the kitchen a few more times.

By the time they got back to Hogwarts, it was already late, and the dinner party would start soon.A few people returned to the dormitory, put down the results of today's battle, tidied themselves up, and walked to the auditorium together.The auditorium was already adorned with hundreds of candled pumpkins and orange banners of flaming water that floated like water snakes from the stormy ceiling.

For Rong Jiu, this was a real feast: the sweet smell of pumpkins wafted in the air, and there were all kinds of food made of pumpkins or food carved into pumpkins in front of her, "This is simply heaven!"——she was ambiguous Unclearly speaking, there was a piece of pumpkin pie in his mouth, a pot of pumpkin juice in front of him, and a smile that could almost be called dementia.

Draco shook his head: "Don't say you are from the Malfoy family, you can't afford to lose this man."

Rong Jiu's heaven, Draco's hell.One of these two people loves pumpkins and hates carrots like ghosts, and the other loves carrots and hates pumpkins like Weasley.It happened that there was only this Halloween and there was no such thing as Carrot Festival, and Draco hated it so much.

Rong Jiu obviously understood this too, took a pumpkin cake with a smile, and deliberately waved it in front of Draco: "This is really a feast!"

Draco curled his lips, took a chicken leg over, and took a bite in demonstration: "Yes! What a feast!"

Except for this point, the whole banquet was still very pleasant, and everyone ate very full.And the saying that you want to sleep after eating and drinking is an eternal truth. Everyone is lazily wanting to throw themselves on their own bed immediately.

But life is always full of surprises.In less than 10 minutes, everyone was called up—it was Professor Snape who came to announce the news. With a gloomy face, he told everyone to bring their necessities, and they had to spend the night in the auditorium tonight.

"If your pets are with you, bring them to the auditorium together."

If the previous news could be a holiday carnival, then this sentence is full of various meanings.Rong Jiu didn't have a pet, she and Draco shared the owl of Malfoy's house, and it was honestly staying on the shelf in Draco's room, so it had nothing to do with her at all.She changed into her pajamas and waited for Draco in the lounge with her cloak outside.

Seeing Professor Snape standing there with a sullen face, no one dared to touch this bad luck.But who is Rong Jiu?She walked over in three steps and two steps, first showing a flattering smile, and after confirming that Professor Snape was watching her from the corner of his eye, she asked in a very cute tone: "Professor, what happened?"

Snape's brows were knit together, almost knotted.If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have definitely pulled out his magic wand and given Rong Jiu an answer he will never forget.But now in the Slytherin common room, no matter how shameless he is (he is eccentric to this college and he is evil to Gryffindor), the most basic dignity of the professor must still be maintained, grimly squeezed out from between his teeth With the answer, coupled with his distorted facial features, he will definitely be able to scare the timid people into tears: "Blake broke into the castle, and we will search it thoroughly."

Blake?

Rong Jiu bit her finger and became dazed.She knew that this person was innocent and was framed at all, and the real murderer was Peter Pettigrew.Of course, it may not be the murderer.She later wrote to ask Mr. Lucius why Peter Pettigrew hid?It stands to reason that he is a member of the Dark Lord, but no one knows about it except Sirius and a small number of Death Eaters, and those few Death Eaters will not betray him, after all, everyone is considered a colleague.He's appearing as a hero now, so it should be easy, right?

Who knew that Mr. Lucius asked her back, how could he be sure that Peter Pettigrew was the Dark Lord's man?

The Dark Lord went GG after hearing his news. How do you know this isn't a play he put on with members of the Order of the Phoenix?There are only two people from the Potter family, and it's not too cost-effective to replace the Dark Lord?

But she didn't have much time to be in a daze, because some people couldn't understand her stupid look.

"Put away your stupid expression!" Professor Snape snapped angrily.

A very clever student, why does he like to show such an idiot-like expression so much?

A few minutes later, all the students gathered in the auditorium.Their pets were handed over to the teachers who were guarding the entrance of the auditorium.

"The teachers and I need to conduct a full search of the castle." Professor Dumbledore told everyone, at this time McGonagall and Flitwick closed all the doors of the auditorium, "For your own safety, I think you may want to spend the night here Yes. Prefects, stand guard at the entrance to the auditorium. The boys and girls student union presidents remain in the hall to take charge of the administration. Report to me immediately if anything happens," he paused, then turned to the boys student union president, who was Weasley Rong Jiu remembered that he was a prefect last year, "Find a ghost to bring me a message."

Professor Dumbledore paused, and was about to leave the auditorium, and said: "Oh, yes, you will need..." He waved his wand casually, and the long tables flew to the edge of the auditorium, and stood against the wall ; With another wave, the ground is covered with hundreds of purple sleeping bags.

"Sleep well," said Professor Dumbledore, closing the door behind him as he went out.Immediately, there was an excited buzzing sound in the auditorium: the students of Gryffindor House were busy telling other students what happened just now

"Everyone in sleeping bags!" cried Chairman Weasley. "Quick, no one talking! Lights out in ten minutes!"

Rong Jiu, Draco, Pansy, Blaise and Theodore dragged their sleeping bags and found a corner to huddle in, because the two girls didn't like to sleep next to other people.Five people sleep in two rows, head to head, and the girls sleep inside.Next to them were senior Slytherin seniors, who were a little away from them, which made it easier for them to talk.

Rong Jiu told them the news he got from Professor Snape, which saved him the embarrassment of asking Gryffindor. As for the specifics, he will definitely know at the dinner table tomorrow. It would be nice to know a general direction now .

The other four chatted hotly, nothing more than the topic that Harry would definitely be unlucky, but Rong Jiu knew that it might not be Harry who was unlucky.

But...why did Blake come to the castle?

The author has something to say:

Well... the early bird catches the worm【.

I'm so angry. I woke up in the morning and wanted to cook dumplings, but I found out that there were only ten of them, which was not enough to eat. T_T Miserable
