Chapter 280 Hogsmeade
Perhaps influenced by Harris, Kyle decided to go to Hogsmeade with others on the first weekend of the new school year.
Although Kyle was not unfamiliar with the place, he had always sneaked through the secret passage before.
After the third grade, he could go there openly... In the last Herbology class before the weekend, he had already handed the permission form to Professor Sprout.
Administrator Filch stood in the hallway, checking a long list, not letting anyone who shouldn't go out slip out of the door.
But Kyle and his friends obviously didn't need to care about this, and walked out swaggeringly.
...
Unlike St. Catchpole Village, Hogsmeade is a real wizard village, and the villagers living here are all wizards without exception.
But the land price here is not cheap... Kyle has inquired that even if you want to build a house in the most remote corner, it will cost 20,000 Galleons... and this is the current price.
Because of the existence of the Hog's Head, there are always some wizards of unknown origin in Hogsmeade, and these unstable factors have seriously lowered the grade of this place.
At the same time, it also caused a serious decline in housing prices.
If it were decades ago, when there was no Hog's Head, let alone 20,000, even 50,000 Galleons might not be enough to live here.
It is definitely a high-end villa area in the magic world.
Although the Hog's Head is a hidden danger... but Kyle and others don't need to care at all.
After all, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick came to Hogsmeade with them, and no one dared to make trouble at this time...
It is no exaggeration to say that every time this time comes, it is also the most harmonious day in Hogsmeade... Those wizards of unknown origin even have to think carefully before throwing away garbage whether this behavior will have any bad effects on the little wizards.
If they don't consider it... the accompanying professors will help them consider it.
At least it is like this outside the Hog's Head.
As the most popular wizard village, this place is naturally very interesting... From the moment you enter the village, you can see shops with various signs on both sides of the road.
The first is Zonko's Joke Shop.
This is also Fred and George's favorite shop. They spend almost all their pocket money here.
Behind Zonko's Joke Shop is the Owl Post Office and Honeydukes Candy House...
"Although we can come here every day... but the visiting day is always the most special." Fred said with a smile.
"Yeah." George sighed, "It would be great if we could come every week."
After learning that today was "visiting day", they decisively ate the quick-acting skipping candy to make themselves vomit and successfully escaped Quidditch training.
"Professors don't have that much time."
Cedric was counting the galleons in his purse. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "It's not bad now. Don't forget that the first visiting day last year was in late October.
"Yeah, those days were really hard." Fred smiled and said, "Kyle, you guys are in good time. "
"We decided to go to Zonko... What about you?"
"Then let's go together." Kyle thought for a while and said.
No one else had any objections.
It's a visit day anyway... No need to rush back to school, they have plenty of time, just take your time and go shopping, it doesn't matter where you go.
Several people walked into Zonko.
Fred and George greeted a clerk wearing circle glasses at the counter as if they were at home.
"Hey, Zora, do you have any rare goods?"
"Of course..." The clerk pushed the circle glasses on his nose,
"It's this... maze glasses, people who wear it will always get lost inadvertently, even in the most familiar place. "
"It sounds good..." Fred touched his chin, "We can prepare a pair for Marcus, the big fool, so that he will probably throw the Quaffle into his own goal. "
"It's a good idea. "George said with a smile: "But the shape of these glasses is too eye-catching. Although Marcus's brain is closely related to the troll, he probably won't wear such a thing."
"Don't worry, how could we not have thought of this..."
The clerk tapped the legs of the glasses lightly, and the original circle glasses turned into a pair of ordinary square-framed glasses.
After another tap, there were several more snake patterns on the frame, and then there were lions, badgers, eagles... round frames, frameless, single lenses...
"We have designed a total of 39 styles."
The clerk pushed the glasses and said, "There must be a suitable one."
"We want it!" Fred and George said in unison.
"How much!"
"Five Galleons and ten Sickles."
"It's really expensive."
"It's a new product, and it's the same price." The clerk said, "But I can give you a discount."
"Ten Sickles?"
"No, it's five Galleons and nine Sickles! ”
“…”
Fred and George still bought the maze glasses, and they also replenished their fireworks in the store.
Unlike them, the others were mostly "watching".
Kanna and Qiu were whispering while pointing at a bunch of biting hairpins, while Cedric stopped in front of a flying broom.
Of course, the broom was also fake. Once someone rode on it, it would spray glue out, stick to the person's legs, and then make a series of loud "poof" sounds.
It can be seen that Cedric really wants to buy this thing, but the price of twenty Galleons makes him hesitate.
It's too expensive, not worth it.
When leaving Zuko, besides Fred and George, only Kyle bought a box of Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans.
Zuko's Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans are definitely different from those in the candy store... None of them are sweet, all taste bad, and there is almost no difference in the packaging.
Kyle plans to give it to a lucky person at random as a Christmas gift.
After that, several people went to Honeydukes Candy House, where they could not keep the Galleons in their hands.
Rows of shelves are filled with all kinds of delicious and tempting candies, large pieces of milky yellow butter almond candy, shiny pink coconut milk jelly balls, honey-colored toffee, countless chocolates, a large bucket of normal Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans...
Against the other wall are candies with "special effects".
Super Bubble Gum (can fill the room with bubbles that won't burst for days)
Small and black Pepper Urchin (can spit fire after eating)
There are also those toad mint ice creams that jump in the stomach, exploding soft candies that really explode, and sour popping candies that can burn a hole in the tongue.
Kyle also saw a pile of cockroaches that Dumbledore liked here, which were placed in a jar in the corner.
There are many students in Honeydukes, and everywhere is crowded with people, only that place is ignored.
But think about it, who would buy that thing!
