Hogwarts Card System

Hogsmeade is really interesting.

Although it is not big here, the sparrow is small and complete.

From owl post offices, to clothing chain stores, to candy and snack stores, to tea restaurants, to large magic equipment stores, to magic material stores... There are even barber shops and shops selling magical animal seeds, basically there are shops in demand up.

It was in this village that the goblins had their headquarters in the first rebellion in the seventeenth century.

Through the perspective of Ansu in the sky, Ted saw that the entire village occupies a large area.

At least two to three times that of Decarmond!

The distance between these buildings is not small, and it looks relatively sparse.

After all, the land here does not require money, just enclose it casually.

Most of the buildings are in the local style, with Scotland's iconic pointed roofs, slender chimneys, and stepped gables.

But there are some buildings that are extraordinarily weird, twisted and crooked, and the styles are very different, which is not serious at first glance!

There are also some dilapidated and abandoned buildings, quite a few, which should be abandoned by some wizards.

The birth rate of wizards is low. Sometimes there are no heirs, so they are abandoned.

They don't need money for the land here, so no one bothered to demolish it.

Thad guessed that among the ruins were the Shrieking Shacks.

There are two taverns in the village, one is the Three Brooms tavern, which is said to be a century-old tavern.

And now the proprietress of the tavern is a mature older sister who still has a charm——Ms. Rosmerta.

The proprietress stood behind the counter, looking horizontally into mountains and sideways into peaks, with different distances and heights, which is the best thing about the spring in the world, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the emperor's capital - that is a beautiful landscape!

That business, old good!

And the business of another pub is not bad, the Pig's Head Bar.

In the original book, the owner of this tavern is Dumbledore's younger brother, Aberforth.

It's just that the old man accidentally killed his sister in the early battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so he has never had any contact with him since then.

Oh, by the way, according to the content of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", he should have a son who is silent, who was used by Grindelwald, and then died of illness. After all, silently generally don't live long.

However, the condition of the Pig's Head Bar is poor and the service attitude is very bad, but it still has a business that is not inferior to the three brooms. Of course, it is not because the old man Aberforth puts on a woman's clothes to pick up customers himself, but because the Pig's Head Bar is the "" Black market place"!

Remember the first year Hagrid drinking and playing cards with someone, and "won" a dragon egg?

Here it is!

If it was an ordinary tavern, how could someone show up with a dragon egg?

This is actually a place where many wizards in the gray area exchange information and facilitate transactions.

This is why other attempts to open a tavern in the past century have been defeated by generations of beautiful proprietresses, and only Aberforth has made it, and it has been open for decades.

Aberforth's strength should not be weak, and he can hold the place, so a lot of people are gradually attracted here.

Even some of Ted's experimental materials were purchased through other people's orders here.

Unlike Knockturn Alley, this place is mainly a gray area, and the dark wizard thing is not acceptable.

As soon as they entered the village, the friends dispersed.

The twins headed straight to Zoko's Joke Shop, mostly to copy...ah no! It is to learn from each other's ideas.

Then I made it myself and sold it to my classmates at a lower price.

No middlemen make the difference! Let the students save more money and benefit the masses~

Noble!

Jerry and Ron went straight to the Honeydukes candy store. When they mentioned the candies in the Honeydukes store just now, their saliva couldn't hold back, and it almost didn't drip onto the skirt of their clothes.

Neville went to Madame Puddife's teahouse. The hostess of the teahouse was a good friend of the grandmother, and he had to go say hello.

Harley also said goodbye to Ted and Ted directly, and then ran away. Did not say where to go.

Ted and Hermione looked at each other, and said in unison: "Would you like to go to Wenrenju?"

Ted: I knew you'd want to go there!

Literati House·Scholar's Supplies Store is the one that sells magic stationery in the village.

From various types of quills to various types of parchment, from magic ink, colorful ink to crystal balls, divination cups, ink correction fluid, photo developer...the things are quite complicated.

Ted recently conducted an experiment, and there was a huge pile of experimental records. The consumption of parchment paper has almost doubled, and it is indeed necessary to prepare more.

The two of them took a leisurely stroll to Wenrenju. The shop was simply decorated, but full of literati atmosphere. Various products can be seen in the latticed glass windows.

Pushing the door open, there are already two or three Hogwarts students picking out products.

They would nod or say hello when they saw Ted.

Hermione chose for a long time, and chose two quills made from the tail feathers of the same pheasant. They were very beautiful, and the black background and gold border looked cool.

"One for you!" Hermione handed Ted a slightly longer one after paying the money.

Ted took it with a smile: "Thank you~"

In return, Ted offered to buy Hermione a drink.

Although there are now seven or eight types of drinks in the Hogwarts kitchen, there is no butter beer after all.

So the two set out to revisit the delicious drink.

At the beginning, Ted planned to go to the Pig's Head Tavern. After coming out of the post office on Central Avenue, he turned into a small road next to it, which was at the intersection.

A tattered wooden sign sticking out, hanging from a rusted iron bracket over the door, showed a picture of a severed pig's head, blood seeping through the white cloth that wrapped it.

Pushing the door open, the scene suddenly went dark. Visibility is a bit low~

Originally, there were not many windows in the tavern on this floor, and they were still small. It seemed that the glass hadn't been wiped for a long time, with thick dust and extremely poor light transmission.

So many candles are lit in broad daylight.

But the candle also increases the area of ​​the shadow, and the contrast between light and dark makes it the same as at night.

On the wall directly opposite the door, a huge wild boar head specimen was hideous, with messy hair and a dirty look.

The floor under the feet is a little sticky and greasy. I'm afraid I don't know how long I haven't wiped the ground!

Isn't it just a matter of cleaning up, as for making it like this?

In addition, there is a smell of goat in the air, not to mention it is unappetizing!

As a waiter working at the Leaky Cauldron, Ted almost couldn't resist pulling out his wand to clean it up!

An old man with a long beard behind the bar was slowly arranging the oak wine glasses, glanced at Ted and Ted at the door, and then ignored them.

And the other seven or eight drinking guests were all secretive, either wearing hoods, hiding in the shadows, or even wearing masks, they didn't look serious!

forget it!

Ted: "It seems that we are not here, let's go first."

Fortunately, I came here to recognize the door, so I am not disappointed.

After a while, the two had arrived at Three Brooms, and there were more people here.

Maybe it's because the school is open on weekends, so there are still many students in the school.

As soon as the two of Ted entered the door, there were four or five voices saying hello.

Ted even saw Jerry and Ron.

Jerry: "This way~"

The two walked over and sat down.

Ted responded to the greetings of the students one by one, and then said to the proprietress who walked gracefully, charmingly, with fashionable hair and facial features: "Two glasses of butterbeer, thank you!"

"Hehe, okay, handsome boy. You are really welcome~"

Hermione pursed her lips suddenly, and looked at the proprietress with a look of looking at the fire element of the fire.

Of course the proprietress didn't care about the little girl's attitude, she just smiled and went to pick up the beer.

"It's really beautiful!" Jerry said.

Ron nodded, his face was obsessed, and his eyes were straight.

Tad was smarter, and instead of looking at the proprietress again, he talked to Hermione about the pretty quill.

This put Hermione in a very good mood.

Jerry stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ron, with a smirk on his face: "Hey! Lavender is here!"

"Ah? What? No, no, I didn't see anything..." He immediately picked up his glass and looked at the beams, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

Ron quietly scanned for a week and found that there was no sign of Lavender at all. He suddenly realized that he had been tricked and was about to strangle Jerry to death.

Jerry was also clever, and hurriedly called out in a low voice: "The lady boss is here, the lady boss is here!"

When Ron heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand, and shrank obediently like a quail, but when he glanced at it, he was deceived again!

Just about to start again, the proprietress, Ms. Rosmerta, has already walked over with two glasses of butter beer.

She twisted her slender waist and put down the butter beer, "I wish you a happy drink." Then she twisted away.

Well, it’s not easy for twigs to bear fruit!

The proprietress is also very good at showing her strengths.

Moreover, Ted could smell the various magical cosmetics he developed. It seems that the proprietress still pays attention to his own maintenance.

But Ron was a little distracted, his soul had been twisted away by that flexible waist.

Ted: I didn't expect your kid to like big ones!

Young man, you have avoided twenty years of detours!

However, if he knew that this Ms. Rosmerta had already been the proprietress here when Sirius and the others were in school, how would he feel?

Then it's not twenty years of detours, it's forty years of overtaking in a straight line!
