"How about I put on my cloak and go with you?" Harry asked tentatively.
Because he cast a swelling charm on his aunt during the summer vacation, Vernon didn't sign the permission form, so he couldn't go.
"Actually, it's okay." Hermione didn't object.
"Then let's go together." Ron would not object even more.
"Next time," Ivey thought for a moment, "let's go explore the road first and get familiar with the terrain. After all, there are wizards there, so be careful."
"Okay." Harry looked a little sad.
"It's okay to be careful. If you get caught, you don't know how many points you will be deducted." Hermione was still very concerned about Gryffindor's points. During this time, she couldn't even remember the points Snape deducted from Neville.
How much.
Fortunately, they recovered some from Professor Lupin.
"It's a pity that no Voldemort can give you points this semester~" Betty made a rare joke
"Yeah, I really miss Voldemort's huge experience pack," Ivy echoed.
"I don't miss him," Ron muttered, and then said to Harry, "Don't be sad, mate. We'll bring you lots of good food."
"Yes, a lot of delicious food," said Hermione
"I'm fine. It's not like I can't go. Let's wait until next time." Harry quickly adjusted.
"Okay, let's go then"

Soon, the third-year students followed Professor McGonagall and left Hogwarts and came to the train platform.
"Hogsmeade is on the other side of the platform. Everyone, follow up and don't fall behind." Professor McGonagall shouted.
"But Professor - above -" The little wizards didn't listen to her words. They looked up at the top of the platform, where seven or eight dementors were wandering in the air.
"Don't worry about them," Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, "Ivy, please stay behind and don't let them affect other students."
"Okay" Ivey responded and walked to the back of the line.
"Let's go, we need to pass quickly"
The little wizards did not dare to delay and walked across the platform in an orderly manner. The dementors in the sky had no intention of coming down to attack.
Everyone walked straight ahead along the path, occasionally meeting a few adult wizards. Not long after walking, a lively village appeared in sight.
"We're here, this is Hogsmeade. Your activities are limited to the village. We will gather at the village entrance at five o'clock in the afternoon. Dismiss now."
As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the little wizards rushed towards the village in a swarm. Only the four of them, Ivy, walked slowly behind.
"The scenery isn't great~ Didn't you say that the scenery in Hogsmeade is very good?" Ron commented on the surrounding scenery.
"It's winter now. The plants are all withered and bare. How can they look good?" Hermione said.
"You said he was a wizard, but the magic is there! Can't you maintain it for a while?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you can do it!" Hermione said angrily. This guy can't stand and talk without pain. Even if you call Dumbledore, he won't be able to do that.
"It will be much better when it snows in a while." Betty rounded off the sentence.
Entering the village, you can see many Hogwarts students running around on the streets. They are all in small groups, discovering new things around them, and exclaiming from time to time.
"There are a lot of houses, and it seems that there are many wizards living here." These are private areas and not for viewing.
"What should we say? Go shopping first or go shopping directly?" Hermione asked
"Let's take a look around as we go. The village isn't too big, so we have enough time."
The four of them were walking aimlessly on the main road, and all the other students had disappeared.
"Are the people here really wizards?" Hermione looked at an old man walking towards her with trembling steps. "They look similar to my neighbors."
"There is still a difference. He is definitely not as rich as your neighbor," Ivey joked.
"Fengya Wizard Clothing Store"
Arriving at a store, Betty read the signboard.
"Ron, do you know this place?" Ivy asked
"I don't know." Ron shook his head. "I never heard Fred and George mention it."
"They're probably only interested in pranks," Hermione said matter-of-factly, "I bet they know all about the products in Zuko's Joke Shop."
"Then go in and take a look."
"Welcome, little wizards of Hogwarts," a middle-aged witch greeted him.
"Hello, madam, no need to greet us, we are just taking a look."
"No problem, I hope you can find the product you like"
After the witch finished speaking, she went to greet other guests.
"Why so many socks?" Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe this is the specialty of this store." Hermione looked at it with interest.
On the shelves around the store
There are many socks on display. They all have one thing in common, they are bright and exaggerated. Not to mention colorful, they are also equipped with various sequins and colored threads. The hanging tags have an introduction. These are not ordinary socks.
All are enchanted.
For example, this pair of socks is intertwined with purple and pink and has the sun embroidered with gold thread. It looks very gay. Once it becomes smelly, it will automatically crawl into the owner's mouth.
"I guess no one is buying it." Ron also noticed this.
"Maybe someone will like it," Ivy said. "Unfortunately, there are no stockings here. I want the best ones that can be long or short and can change color." If there are, he would like to buy a few pairs for Rebel.
"Do you want to buy? If not, then leave." Ron didn't want to stay here.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Although Hermione's tone was unkind, she didn't object.
After leaving the clothing store, within two steps there was the Wenrenju Quill Shop. However, except Hermione who was relatively happy, everyone else was in a lack of interest.
From here on, the shops become denser. Next to the quill shop is the post office. Hundreds of owls of various species gather here. The scene is very spectacular. But other than that, there is nothing special. There is not even a mailbox.
"This seems to be a place for couples to go on a date." They arrived in front of Mrs. Puddifu's teahouse. Ivy looked at the customers in the window and found that they were all in pairs.
"There are exactly four of us, do you want to go in and sit down?" Betty looked at Ron and Hermione
"Are you kidding!" Ron exclaimed, "The top student and I are naturally at odds with each other!"
"Do you think I'm willing to come with you?" Hermione also looked disgusted.
"Okay, I'll come back when I get the chance." Ivey didn't force it.
Next is one of the most important places on this trip, Honeydukes, Ron’s second home.
"Don't squeeze! It's full inside!"
"Don't squeeze? How can I get out if you don't squeeze!"
"Who squeezed the candy out of my mouth!"
"...."
"Why don't you buy it when you get back?" Looking at the crowded shop, it was hard to even close the door.
"See! Honeydukes are so popular!" Ron was not affected, but was very excited, with the expression on his face that he has a good eye.
"Let's go to Zuko's Joke Shop." Honeydukes is diagonally opposite this shop.
"That's it, Harry will definitely like it!" In the store, Ron was staring excitedly at a large box of dung eggs.
This store is very large, and the room is full of shelves filled with all kinds of weird props.
It's like "Smooth Gummy Candy". The name sounds normal, but once you eat this kind of candy, your whole body will become limp and weak. Ivey thinks that the person who invented this candy must be a woman. It's so vicious. This effect
It is a devastating blow to men.
Even more lethal items include "Crazy Explosive Bomb", "Itchy Soap", "Alopecia areata Conditioner", "Fluorescent Chocolate" and so on - to a certain extent, this can also be regarded as a special place.
arsenal
In short, none of the dazzling array of products is normal. Of course, normal people will not go to this place to buy what they need.
"Why do all the products have seals on them?" Hermione asked.
"Because many little wizards like to tamper with the products. Previously, a guy triggered an artificial eyeball with a copying spell. Then the entire store was flooded with such eyeballs, leaving a shadow on many little wizards. So the product later
They are all sealed, and the effect can only be triggered by tearing off the seal." Ron said like a treasure trove.
The group of people went shopping again, and in addition to Ron buying some dung eggs, Ivy also found a more interesting thing.
"Special Effects Electric Shock Rod"
When used, a bolt of lightning will be struck, and the person hit will only feel a slight numbness, but will get the special effect of an explosive head and a blackened body. The effect can be adjusted on a single target or in a group. The effect lasts for five minutes and will not be affected.
Wash it off.
Leave Zuko's Joke Shop and continue walking. After passing those shops, the next section is basically a residential area, which is not interesting.
"What's going on in front?" The four people walking found that the way forward was blocked.
I saw a large circle of people gathered in the middle of the street, not only Hogwarts students, but also many adult wizards. From time to time, cheers could be heard from the crowd.
"It doesn't sound like a bad thing." Although he couldn't see their facial expressions, Ivey felt that these people should be happy, so he didn't deliberately use his mental power to explore.
He took the lead and squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers, and Ron and the others followed him to the front row.
At this moment, a battle was taking place in the center of the crowd. Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor were fighting against Slytherin. But unfortunately, when Ivy and the others came in, the battle was basically over.
Towards the end, more than a dozen little wizards with rosy cheeks fell to the ground and fell into a huddle.
Malfoy was restrained by the wide and fat Neville alone. His two bodyguards, the tall and strong Goyle and Crabbe, were also overwhelmed. Mike, Justin, Hannah, Seamus, Dean, and others
There was Terry Butt, a boy from Ravenclaw, and a total of six people pinned them to the ground.
"Let me go! You stupid idiot with a head full of shit!"
Malfoy was face down and pressed to the ground in a captured position. Neville locked his bandaged arm behind his waist and pressed his entire upper body against Malfoy's back.
"Ah——! Ah——!" Neville punched the middle of his butt twice. "Isn't your arm broken? You bastard are pretending again!"
Malfoy tightened his sphincter and looked extremely painful.
"Asshole! I will definitely tell my father and ask him to fire you!" He put his other arm around, grabbed Neville's hair, and pulled hard.
"It's your dad again! I don't know how many times I've heard this! Just let him come! I'm not even afraid of Snape!" Neville punched him twice again.
