Chapter 297 Black-bellied Hermione (Debt Repayment 15)
Saturday morning,
William and Hermione appear in Hogsmeade.
Hogsmeade is a pure wizarding village near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
According to the school rules, students under the third grade cannot come here... Hermione is definitely not eligible, but... who cares.
Anyway, William secretly brought Hermione here many times.
There is no need to take the secret path, just use the illusion spell.
William's attainment in the Disillusionment Charm is already high enough to fool most professors.
As for sister Anne...
Why!The little wizard can't go to Hogsmeade, she'd better stay in the castle and play rubber band with Luna and Ginny.
This is the activity that children should play at home.
William only needs to bring some candy to the three when they go back, and they will be happy for a long time.
The three little ones are easy to satisfy.
"Huh, what about people?"
Entering the Three Broomsticks, Hermione looked for Rita.
William took her hand and pointed to a corner.
In the corner of the bar sat a woman in a large bowler hat with her head tucked under the Daily Prophet.
"Four pints of mead, a sherry juice and conch," said William softly. "Thanks."
After ordering two drinks, William led Hermione towards the corner and sat down on a chair.
"Why do you dress up like this?" William looked at Rita and asked doubtfully.
Inexplicably, there is a feeling of secretly connecting!
Rita pulled her head out of the newspaper, dressed like an Arab in a green veil.
She pushed the huge toad sunglasses down the bridge of her nose, and said softly:
"I'm a celebrity, and there are a lot of my fans here. If I'm recognized, it's not good to cause crowds to watch."
William and Hermione looked at each other suspiciously.
"Here, drinks for you two." Rosmerta came over and put two glasses of drinks on the round wooden table.
Mrs. Rosmerta is the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks. She wears a pair of gorgeous turquoise high-heeled shoes. She has a curvaceous figure and is very beautiful.
Although she is almost 40 years old, many young wizards in Hogwarts actually like her.
"Hi, William, Hermione. Why are you two, Cedric and Cho, today?" Madam Rosmerta asked familiarly.
The Akali Mystery Store maintains a strategic partnership with many stores in Hogsmeade, and the Three Broomsticks are no exception.
William would occasionally help brew potions and put them in various drinks.
"Cedric took Qiu to explore the grass." William grinned.
"Screaming Shack?" Rosmerta blinked, "Boys always like to lead girls there... Or last time, I taught him a little trick."
William smiled. He thought that Cedric's little idea would definitely come to nothing.
Qiu is so courageous, who dares to practice the balance beam on a broomstick, what a haunted house!
Cedric might still be thinking that Cho would be scared, and then she would plunge into his arms...he wanted to eat a fart!
"By the way, what drink does this guest need?"
Rosmerta turned his gaze back to Rita.
Rita had already stuffed her head back into the newspaper, she said hoarsely: "No, I have a bad cold recently and I don't want to drink anything."
Rosmerta took two steps, then turned around again, squinted his eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Could you be that woman Rita Skeeter?"
Rita twisted her big butt unnaturally, and coughed: "How is it possible? Such a famous person, how could it be me!"
Rosmerta groaned and walked towards the counter.
"Tell me." William said softly, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing." Rita poked her head out of the newspaper again.
William gave Hermione a look.
Hermione immediately understood, and shouted sweetly. "Lady Rosmerta..."
"Don't!" Rita's expression was as if she was forced to drink stinky juice, she said speechlessly: "Meeting you two really exhausted all my luck in my life!"
"Speak quickly." William took a sip of the mead.
"Just half a year ago, I seem to have written an article in a newspaper..." Rita coughed.
"What article?"
"It seems to be about Fudge...'Beside the Minister of Magic, the burning and expectant eyes can be seen everywhere, even Rosmerta, a pretty widow who still has a charm'..."
"..." William now believed that everyone in Hogsmeade was indeed Rita's fan.
——Black fans!
The kind of black life.
"Okay, did you bring the goods?" Rita asked.
"Bring it." William took out a document from the ring and threw it to Rita.
Rita turned a few pages, her eyes changed, she looked at the document as if she were looking at the most beautiful thing.
She raised her head suddenly and said with sharp eyes: "William, I know that stupid Hagrid is your friend, and Lockhart reported him.
What I mean is... the above content, you can't make it up just to get revenge on Lockhart, right? "
"Do you think that's who I am?" William shrugged.
The contents of the document were investigated by Dumbledore.
Over the years, Lockhart has plagiarized the memories of many wizards, many of which are traceable.
After all, Lockhart was able to hear the story, and even if it was unknown, it would have spread a little bit, otherwise he would not have come to the door.
With the headmaster's ability, he can still investigate many details.
I don't know if I don't look at it, it's shocking... Otherwise, the principal wouldn't let Lockhart come to the school as a professor, and wanted to expose him on purpose.
"I believe you...but readers..." Rita hesitated.
"Does your reader need evidence?" William sneered. "Do you believe the articles you wrote?"
"Rita, don't try to test me, you want to find out the source of this document... Apart from you, I have many little birds moving around!" William bluffed.
Of course he didn't have many little birds, just two baby sparrows, a caged bird that wanted to bite... and an old phoenix named Dumbledore.
But it doesn't prevent him from bragging about it, anyway, bragging doesn't require Jin Jialong.
"I see." Rita stroked the file as if she were stroking a lover.
"I will use my pen to reveal Lockhart's true face to everyone!"
"Don't write my name and Hermione's name," William said.
"Then, goodbye." Rita stood up, "Mr. Perfect and Miss Perfect."
Rita went out, and when she opened the door, her footsteps were a little flustered. She saw Rosmerta calling a car of bread men, ready to block her!
She started running in a hurry.
"Mr. Perfect, Miss Perfect...Is this a title?" William asked doubtfully while holding a glass of wine.
"I don't know either. I wrote several letters to her according to your instructions, and she called us that in the letters."
Rita's letters... William occasionally handed them over to Hermione.
It's good exercise to go up against someone like Rita.
"She might be behind her back, why scold us both." William took a sip of mead.
"Just don't let me hear!" Hermione also took a sip of sherry juice.
"Will this send Lockhart to Azkaban?"
William gently blew away the foam from the mead, shook his head and said, "I don't know...but it will ruin his reputation."
Hermione nodded, looking quietly at the boy sitting beside her.
She suddenly said: "By the way, when you go shopping later, don't forget to remind me to buy Zizi honey candy for Annie."
William hummed, and couldn't help asking: "Every time you buy candy for her, why do you ask me to bring it to her?"
The corners of Hermione's mouth curled up, and she said with a smile: "You don't know, every time she gets a gift, she will run to me right away..."
"I'm just waiting for the day when she's in a tizzy, and then tell her that I actually bought it in Hogsmeade."
"..."
There was a picture...William seemed to see Annie's stunned and angry expression...He suddenly realized that Hermione was also quite dark-bellied.
"William, you won't tell her, will you?" Hermione rested her chin on one hand, staring at William with an intoxicating smile.
"No!" William didn't hesitate at all.
Poor sister, don't blame your brother for not helping you, you really can't help yourself!
Hermione was all smiles as she sat in a chair, dangling her legs.
The girl was singing a Scottish ballad softly, her voice crisp.
The breeze was blowing, and Hermione's long hair at the temples fluttered gently.
