Chapter 419 Dahei's Trace (Third)
The setting sun shines lazily on the earth.
There were people coming and going on the street, and two figures suddenly appeared in the corner.
Hermione looked up, still thinking about where it was, but William had already noticed it first, took her hand, shortened her figure, and hid in a small yard.
The two squatted on the ground and looked out through the fence.
"It's us!" Hermione exclaimed.
William walked out of the Honeydukes shop, side by side with Hermione.The boy said something, the girl gave him a light thump, grinning happily.
"It's almost five o'clock. At this time, we should send Annie and the others away through the secret passage." William glanced at the time.
Hermione stared at the two, gently covering her hot cheek.
"What's wrong?" William asked, turning his head.
"Ah, I didn't notice it before, but now I realize that many people are secretly watching us, isn't it too high-profile." Hermione said embarrassingly.
It is indeed a strange experience to observe yourself from the side like this.
And Hermione also suddenly noticed a detail, since Paris, she always held William's hand habitually.
She didn't usually pay attention to it, it was just a subconscious action.
Like now...
She quickly withdrew her hand back.
"Being peeped by others is because of fame, not because of holding hands." William said, "So don't take it too seriously."
He smiled and said, "I mean, there are no other people here, let alone single dogs."
William turned his head away...suddenly shut up.
densely packed behind,
There were no less than a dozen dogs standing, looking at the two of them.
Really a dog!
The leader is a heroic wolf.
It has slender limbs, pointed head and palate, long face, pointed and erect ears, and beautiful gray-black fur.
It... sticks out its tongue, the corners of its mouth are raised, and its eyes are looking right, full of joy.
Well, the eyes give it away, this is a husky, purebred.
The attention of the group of dogs was quickly attracted by an owl, which passed by at a low altitude, with a large bag of food hooked under its paws.
The husky was excited, he let out a groan, and led his younger brothers to chase after it.
The owl landed at the door, and before he could react, he was hit in the chest by a dog.
Stinking rogue!
The Scottish round-faced fat chicken can't bear it. It flaps its wings and uses the legendary "Dian Cangpai Eagle Claw Kung Fu".
Fat chicken is good at lightness kungfu, quick claws, very good at defensive counterattack, and uses lightning five consecutive whips in an instant.
It scratched a dozen times, and occasionally pecked the dog's butt twice, the angle was very tricky and vicious.
Erha growled a few times, building up his momentum, and did not move much, and the repetition was like a vicious dog pounced on the food.
It is fierce and fierce, but the hit rate is not high.
After a fierce fight, there was no winner, Erha and the owl both had special parts of each other's body hair in their mouths.
The door was pushed open, and an old witch came out.
The dogs drove away, the old witch signed for the food, and fed the owl for a while.
"She's 'Moopsey the Dog,' a famous witch," whispered William.
As a dog lover, Mopsy will feed all stray dogs in Hogsmeade for free.
"Tell me, has she ever seen Dahei?" Hermione asked thoughtfully. "Dahei left the Forbidden Forest, maybe he will wander to Hogsmeade."
Annie first encountered Dahei when she wandered there by boat.
"Very likely." William nodded, "Let's go ask."
The two stepped forward, and William asked:
"Excuse me, have you seen a black dog recently, it is huge.
It looks very ugly, but it is very ugly, it is very ugly. "
Mopsy pondered, "Wait a minute, every dog I take care of will take a photo."
After a while, Mopsy took out several photos, all of which were stray dogs she took care of recently.
"William, look!" Hermione pulled one out of the photos.
In the photo is a... vegetable dog.
To be precise:
There is a pink backpack wrapped around Dahei's back, which is full of vegetables, which is very joyful to watch.
"..."
Dahei would rather be a vegetable dog for others, work as a coolie for food, and don't want to eat Hagrid's food?
Heartbroken.
"What about Dahei, where is it now?" William asked.
"It only comes to me to eat some food at night, and I don't know where it went during the day." The witch shook her head.
"Okay, thank you then." William thanked.
Now that they know that Dahei is here, William and Hermione are not in a hurry, and they can come to find him next time.
Their first priority is the dementors.
The two left Mopsy's yard and walked towards Honeydukes opposite.They need to go through the secret passage and get back to Hogwarts.
William casts the Disillusionment Charm, avoids Mrs. Swann, and crosses the counter into the cellar.
The cellar was filled with wooden chairs and boxes, and the floor was equally dusty.
Lifting the floor, a deep tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.
William stepped on the broken stone steps and walked down.Hermione followed closely behind, subconsciously holding William's hand again.
"Did something happen to Gryffindor?" Walking on the road, William raised his wand, illuminating the narrow passage.
"Why did the principal tell everyone to go back to the auditorium?"
"Black, he sneaked into the Gryffindor common room," Hermione explained.
"When we got back to the lounge, it was a mess and there seemed to be a fight."
"It should be Professor McGonagall's armor guard, which was triggered by Black." William pondered.
"He was attacked whenever he entered the common room."
"But how did you get in?" Hermione worried. "There's no way Black has the password to the lounge."
"I don't know about that." William shook his head and asked softly, "What did the fat lady say?"
"The Fat Lady disappeared from the portrait, which was vandalized and left with debris everywhere.
Peeves said she hid in fear. "
"That's very strange." William squinted and said softly, "If Black has a password, there is no reason to destroy the fat lady. It is just a painting."
"Maybe there is a password, and the fat lady won't open the door for him. But after he vandalized it, the fat lady was afraid, so she opened it?" Hermione said.
William nodded slightly.
It is possible, but there is another possibility.
However, this can only be confirmed after asking the fat lady.
"How do you think Black, how did he get into the castle?" Hermione's wand was raised, and the tip was also lit with white light.
"The Forbidden Forest, which may be taken, is coming from the direction of Hagrid's hut.
It is also possible that the school entered through the secret passage is either the Whomping Willow, or the secret passage we are taking now. said William.
"It shouldn't be possible here, right?" Hermione rubbed William's palm subconsciously, and said softly:
"Blake infiltrated during the dinner party. At that time, Hogsmeade was closed, and the streets were full of patrolling dementors. There was no way he could avoid them."
"Then it can only be the Whomping Willow or the Forbidden Forest."
William felt a little itchy in his palms, but after getting along with Hermione for a long time, he was also used to the girl's various tricks.
"Since he sneaked into the school, how did he alert the dementors?" Hermione frowned.
"That's why Dumbledore asked us to come back." William laughed.
A large number of dementors entered Hogwarts. If William hadn't reminded them, the students would definitely be attacked when they returned.
William and Hermione must give everyone a reminder.
The two babbled, walked for a long time along the low tunnel, and finally reached the end.
"Separate left and right!" William tapped the rock wall lightly with his wand in his hand.
A gap was exposed, and William and Hermione got out.With another tap of the wand, the statue's hump closed instantly.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go to Professor Lupine's office!" William said with a smile.
"It's a good show there, don't miss it!"
