In the past two months, there has been basically no progress in the dungeon mission.
At the beginning, Rosie would go out every weekend to look for clues about the mission, but trying her luck without a clue could only lead to her finding nothing.
So after learning that Barty Crouch would not return to London until after Christmas, Rossi, who had no reason to search Barty Crouch Jr.'s home, completely gave up on such an approach.
In this way, her weekly rest days become her time to relax after teaching.
At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, Rosie, who had slept until she woke up naturally, took Grace and Claire out of the castle.
Maybe it's because the cold air has hit recently and the weather is a little chilly.
Claire was wearing a silver-white long-sleeved dress with a light green knitted sweater on top. She was walking next to Grace, who only wore a gray-green coat all year round. They looked like a pair of sisters.
Um! Um! Regardless of their clothing or age, the two of them look like sisters.
Nodding imperceptibly, Rossi smiled and made a conclusion in his mind.
The three of them walked leisurely southward along the bank of the Black Lake. During the first period of school, there were still flowers blooming on this road, but as winter came, there were only some withered and yellow weeds left here. Waiting for new life in the coming year.
"Speaking of which, Claire, you've been with us these past few weekends, haven't you left any time for your friends?"
After what happened to Hermione and Ron yesterday, Rossi, who had not cared much about it, suddenly remembered this issue.
"It doesn't matter. Aren't I always with them in class? Besides, I don't really want to play with them. I always feel like they..."
She pondered for a few seconds with a complicated expression, seeming to be struggling with how to use the words, "Well, it always feels a bit childish."
childish?
Giving her a funny look, Rosie recalled in her mind the scene when she pointed at Cedric and asked "Isn't he handsome" when they were watching the Quidditch game together?
Yes, yes, you are mature, you are not naive.
"This is not good. You need to make friends." For the first time, Grace took the initiative to talk to someone other than Rossi.
Like Rossi, Claire was also surprised by Grace's initiative to talk to her, and nodded with a flattered expression:
"Well, I understand. I will maintain the relationship with other people."
She paused: "Besides, you can also be my friends, right?"
"Of course!" Rossi smiled and patted Claire on the shoulder, "We have always been friends."
As she finished speaking, Grace next to her nodded in agreement.
After chatting and walking for more than half an hour, the three finally bypassed Hogsmeade Station and entered the village along the southeastern stone road.
Since students in third grade and above with permission from their guardians can come to Hogsmeade, this small village looks very lively.
"There was no one along the way. I thought the students would not come this Saturday because the weather got colder."
Rossi muttered casually.
Honeydukes Candy Shop is the shop closest to the entrance of the village. It sells chocolates and various magical candies. Most of the food sold on the Hogwarts Express comes from here.
At this moment, the shop was crowded with Hogwarts students.
"Grace, Claire, do you have any snacks you want to eat?"
Standing outside the window, Rossi, who was not interested in this store, looked at the two people next to him.
Grace shook her head no as she expected, but Claire's reaction was different from the previous times, and she also chose to refuse.
"Eh? Do you really not want it? I'm treating you!" Rossi added with a smile.
"There are too many people inside, and didn't you say that eating too many sweets is not only bad for your teeth, but also prone to aging?" Claire explained.
"ha?"
Pretending to be surprised, Rosie uttered an exclamation, and patted her shoulder gently: "Yes, it's great to have such an ideological awareness! You need to pay attention to taking care of yourself when you are young, otherwise you will have to do it when you get old. You’re deceiving yourself with beauty potions!”
While joking, they walked past the Three Broomsticks Bar, spent half an hour at the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, and restocked some quills and rainbow ink at the Wenrenju Quill Store. The three of them finally arrived at their destination today. ——Slow-ton cake shop.
The store was not large, but the business seemed to be better than Honeydukes Candy Store. Before she even got closer, Rossi saw a long queue at the door of the store, and suddenly there was a bitter look on his face:
"Well...there are so many people here."
"This time, I'm going to line up."
Grace Jane Er said clearly.
Although she was talking about this time, in fact, she was the one who queued up the last time and the last time.
"You're so considerate, Grace!"
After hugging her small body, Rosie was beaming with joy. Rather than following the long queue and waiting for her to be queued, she preferred to enter the store and look for the gap when the people who had finished the dessert left to give herself and her friends a chance. Taking a seat, "Target is the new product they launched today!"
Seeing Grace nodding in understanding, Rosie led Claire into the store first.
Still the same as the previous few times, there were too many customers in the dining area to sit down. She had suggested to the shop owner last week to use a traceless stretching spell to expand the space, but apparently, the other person's "good idea" with a smile was just a perfunctory way to deal with customers.
Seeing Rosie coming in, the students at Hogwarts smiled and greeted her.
She did not accept the student's offer of her seat, and after waiting for a few minutes at the door, she finally took the seat where a couple who were out on a date left after they had sat.
Eh? Where's Claire?
Rosie, who had just sat down, stood up in surprise. Just by occupying the seat, Claire disappeared.
Glancing at the door a few times, I saw Grace lining up and gradually approaching, but Claire was not beside her.
Could it be that he went to the bathroom?
Muttering to himself, Rossi sat back on the stool and waited patiently.
However, until Grace came over with the new cake, Claire still did not appear.
Even if you go to the bathroom, it takes too long, right?
Sensing something was wrong, she stood up and asked Grace:
"Did you notice where Claire went?"
"No."
After thinking for two seconds, Grace shook her head, and then added, "There is no smell of her in this store."
It means Claire isn't here.
Rossi immediately walked towards the door. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the wooden door of the shop closed with a creak, revealing the notice posted above:
"Ministry of Magic Order:
Recently, there is news that the wanted criminal Quirinus Quirrell has appeared near the village of Hogsmeade. Villagers and customers are asked to pay attention. This prisoner is extremely dangerous. If found, do not act rashly and report to the Ministry of Magic immediately.
October 28, 1991. "
October twenty-eight? Was it posted on Monday?
As this thought flashed through her mind, a bad thought immediately came to her mind.
Claire! ! !
