Chapter 540

The first Hogsmeade day after Voldemort disappeared has finally arrived, which will mean that little wizards can put aside their worries and enjoy a leisurely life.

As Maka and scrimgeor expected, the lightning chase did not bring bad mood to everyone, but felt more and more relieved.

At breakfast this morning, Professor McGonagall made a rare invitation to Maka, saying that maybe we could have afternoon tea together later in the afternoon. Of course, Maka is happy about this. After all, he also has some important things to discuss with Professor McGonagall this time.

So, before the afternoon tea, it was his free time.

"Luna, where shall we go first?"

Walking along the path extending to Hogsmeade village, bathed in the warm sunshine, you can vaguely hear the chirping of birds in the distance. This makes people feel like spring is coming.

But because the altitude of the area where Hogwarts is located is relatively high, the temperature obviously has to rise more slowly than other places. It is estimated that it will be later to wait for the snow to melt.

"Duke of honey?" Luna said casually, but her vision was always attracted by the bushes covered with snow on the roadside, looking a little absent-minded. "Maka, do you think there will be any rare animals there?"

"Maybe there are some sleeping goblins?" Marca shrugged. "Of course, where there are goblins, there are usually earth raking minks."

"That's not uncommon," Luna tilted her head. "There are a lot of Weasley's yard!"

"Yes! The Weasleys don't clean them very much - it's no use just grabbing them and throwing them out, you know." Marca narrowed her eyes as if she felt that this life was really comfortable.

Although he can reach Hogsmeade village at once with the help of the door key, it is also a special natural enjoyment to walk around without any important things.

As long as you keep walking along this path, you can see the lake from time to time. It's winter, and the lake is still blocked by ice. When the ice melts in spring, the lake will be the most beautiful natural scenery. Even though Marca has seen it countless times, she still can't get tired of it.

They walked side by side on the path, occasionally chatting a few meaningless gossip, and soon they could see the village in the distance.

Today's Hogsmeade will be filled with crowded little wizards, and almost every store will usher in another wave of busyness. No, just at the beginning, the streets were already overcrowded.

Maka even stood on the street and could hear Fred and George's duet of laughter. It was obvious that they had come up with some interesting ideas.

Honey Duke candy store is located in the middle of the village. It needs to pass several stores all the way. This morning, because Maka was going to follow Luna, who always liked to be absent-minded, she had already missed the first batch of people who arrived here. The flow of people in the streets also greatly limits their forward speed, and they seem to drift with the tide when wandering among the people.

"What happened in front?"

It is the nature of gregarious creatures to enjoy the fun, no matter Muggles or wizards. Maybe something happened there, which aroused everyone's curious onlookers - even later people don't know what happened in it.

"I remember... There should be a Fengya brand wizard clothing store?" Maka is not a person who likes to crowd with a lot of people, but Luna is not sure. Whether she takes part in the fun or not depends on her mood. "Do you want to have a look?"

"What?"

Luna's attention was obviously not there. When she heard Maka's words, she turned back blankly and looked at him suspiciously.

"No, nothing... Let's go!" Marca shrugged indifferently and took her on.

However, even if you don't touch some things, it always likes to come to the door by itself. Maka and Luna just walked a few steps. Suddenly, the crowd next to them was in a commotion. Then a guy in a black hood ran past them and ran through the crowd to the other end of the street.

"Phantom shift? He's phantom shift! Oh, he's over there - catch him! He stole..."

The noise sounded from the crowd behind. Maka had heard it. It was the owner of Fengya brand wizard clothing store. But, a thief? Stole the clothing store?

Maka glanced in the direction of the thief's escape. It was obvious that the guy had already gone away and disappeared in the crowd.

"... what did he steal?" Maka heard another familiar voice.

"Harry?" Luna blinked.

"Find him and you'll know!"

"Oh! And Ron - they're always together!" Luna clapped her hands happily.

But Maka didn't care. He was remembering the figure that flashed by just now - to be honest, it looked rather short. Who was the thief?

Moreover, at the moment when Maka was closest to the thief, he felt a strange magic wave. He was sure that he had met it, but he couldn't think of it for a moment.

Just as Maka recalled, Luna stretched out her small hand and pulled his sleeve.

"Marca, let's go there and have a look?"

Maka nodded indifferently, then pushed away the crowd and squeezed in. After passing through the thick human wall, he finally saw Harry and Ron, and Hermione was also here.

"Hey, Harry, Ron -" Marca said hello to them. "What's the matter? Was that a thief just now? Ran to steal clothes while there were many people?"

"Oh, Marca, you're here?" Ron spread his hand. "Who knows? Hermione is asking the boss! You see, her problem of defending people against injustice has broken out again!"

"It's a good thing. We should learn from her!" said Marca, but his casual attitude is almost the same as Ron's performance. "We'll go to the Duke of honey later? It's my treat!"

"Oh! Being a professor is different!" Ron said excitedly. "I must pick a lot!"

As they were talking, Hermione finally finished with the boss and was coming back. If she knows that these boys take her anger seriously, she doesn't know when she will nag! Marca and Ron immediately shut their mouths tacitly.

"... find out, there are a lot of socks lost in the shop! There are all kinds of socks, and even many are only one of them - the boss is going crazy!" Hermione came over excitedly and complained loudly. "The thief is so hateful that he doesn't know what he's thinking!"

"Maybe he thinks his feet are too cold?" Ron whispered.

"Do you think it's possible?" Hermione glared at him. "The coldest days have passed. Even if he's cold again, he won't be able to wear thick socks soon!"

"Why don't we look for it?" Harry pulled Ron, who was still trying to speak, and followed Hermione. "Just now he used a phantom shift when he was surrounded, but he only moved to the outer stream of people - I really want to see him running that way."

"No, No." although Hermione was indignant, she was sensible enough. "People didn't know where to go... He escaped at first. Now there are so many people here, it's difficult to find him again."

"So let's go to the Duke of honey!" Ron urged. "Hermione, didn't you just want to add some * * fudge to your candy can? Marca said it's his treat today!"

"How about that!" Hermione immediately replied without thinking about it. Then she hesitated and looked at Maka, "Oh, I'm not saying it's bad, but..."

"Don't worry! It's all right!" Marca smiled. "Just buy some candy. You can choose it in a moment! You can have some of everything! I suggest you find some new products to try - Dumbledore used to like this!"

Although Dumbledore's funeral has not been long, it always makes people feel a little worried to mention it, but everyone can't help relaxing when they see that Marca said it so easily. Dumbledore never refused to die. Perhaps the best way to mourn him is to put him in his memory like Marca.

"Then let's go!" Hermione took the lead in cheering up, and then waved generously. "It's not easy to wait for such a relaxed Hogsmeade day. We can't spoil our good mood because of a thief!"

A line of five people moved slowly forward in the slightly crowded crowd, and then squeezed into the overcrowded honey Duke candy store together. It's really one of the most popular shops in Hogsmeade village. There are so many people that it's like waiting in line.

After a while, everyone came out happily with several paper bags containing candy.

"Find a place to rest! I'm dying..." Ron felt like he had experienced a war and was almost overwhelmed. "I shouldn't have come here at the beginning."

"At the moment, most of the three brooms are also crowded with people," Harry suggested. "If you want me to see, let's go to the pig head bar! There are always few people there..."

"The butter beer there is delicious," Luna said absentmindedly, pulling the necklace made of oak stoppers of butter beer on her neck. "Look! I save it every time I drink it!"

"Well... It's really, really good."

Hermione probably thought Luna was looking at what she said. After hesitating, she held it subtly. Perhaps she was afraid that Luna would ask her where she was good. After she said that, she quickly went to the front.

"Pig's head bar?" Marca thought. "I don't know if Charlotte is here. I heard that she liked the temporary job after pretending to work there for a few days... Did aberforth give her a lot of salary?"

Seeing that everyone began to go that way, he thought so and raised his legs to follow.
