[Comprehensive] Digging a secret tunnel at Hogwarts

12.chapter 12



Katniss looks to be eleven or twelve years old at most. She looks malnourished, thin and small. She leans against the tree and looks in front of Al with squinted eyes. This scene was too familiar. Al followed her gaze and, as expected, saw a medium-sized blond boy with a square face, very fair, and very beautiful.

Peeta Mellark.

These are the two protagonists of The Hunger Games

Al's heart suddenly surged with turmoil, and he pinched his thigh hard, almost crying from the pain.

Not dreaming.

If it wasn't a dream, why did I just go through a secret passage and get from Hogwarts to the Hunger Games?

Al watched blankly as Peeta threw the half-baked bread in his hand to Katniss. The bread rolled on the ground and was immediately covered with sewage. After throwing away the bread, Peeta returned to the bakery as if nothing had happened, and Al immediately came to his senses.

Why can't you just walk over and hand the bread to someone, you naughty kid?

Seeing that Katniss was about to rush over to retrieve the bread, Al subconsciously turned out of the pig pen. George was stunned by his sudden movement. After recovering, he hesitated for a moment and followed.

I don’t know where this place is, and I don’t know who the boy and girl are, but since Al has gone out, there should be no danger.

"No, no, no, no, Katniss, don't eat it yet," Al shouted to Katniss in a low voice. Katniss paused as she put the bread into her mouth, and looked blankly at Al, a little boy with blond hair and wearing a strange robe. .

"George, come here." Al stopped a few steps in front of Katniss. He knew that this girl was very defensive, and District Twelve was so small. She should have seen everyone in the district, and she and George were strangers. Man, she might not be that friendly.

George came over in confusion, and Al pointed to Katniss's bread: "The bread is too dirty, please clean it up, okay?"

"I can't, Al." George resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Underage wizards can't use magic outside of Hogwarts, remember?"

Al suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it again.

Al smacked his mouth in regret, apologizing for not being able to let Katniss eat clean bread, so he had to rummage through his pockets, trying to find some snacks or something.

Katniss looked at the two strange people warily and hid her bread: "Who do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, we don't mean any harm, we just want to give you something." Al rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a few candies and chocolate frogs. He was afraid that the moving chocolate frogs would scare Katniss, so Al only handed the candies to Katniss. asked her, "These are for you."

Katniss is so hungry that she can't resist any food at all. Her dignity has been thrown to the back burner. She can even put dirty bread into her mouth, let alone well-packaged candy. . She quickly unwrapped the candy and stuffed it into her mouth.

After regaining her strength, Katniss looked wary again. Al almost suspected that she was going to stab him with an arrow right away: "Who are you doing in District 12? Why are you dressed like this?"

George was offended by the "look" coming from this obviously Muggle man.

Al paused and said casually: "Oh, we are from District 1. You know the people there have very strange aesthetics."

George stared at Al in disbelief: "Wizards are not weird, Muggles are."

"Wizards and Muggles, what are you talking about?" Katniss quickly caught the key points of the two wizards' words and asked.

"It's nothing." Al said absentmindedly, Kiki moved again in his arms, and he could tell that she was very uncomfortable; this made the excitement of entering the world of The Hunger Games dissipate, and Al now just wanted to go to Hogsmeade as soon as possible , "Nice to meet you, Katniss. Go home and give food to your family, okay? We have to go back as soon as possible. My cat is sick."

Katniss woke up from a dream. Her sister and mother were still hungry at home. She jumped up and thought that Prim would be very happy when she saw these candies, and she couldn't care less about these two strange people. However, in a blink of an eye, she saw the British man who looked like he was only ten years old but acted like a little adult, dragging another tall red-haired man and the two of them ran towards the pig pen.

Then the red-haired one climbed over the railing quickly and reached out to hug the younger one in.

It's so weird.

The wizard's pig becomes a spirit

But the two people had disappeared around the corner, and Katniss didn't dare to call them loudly for fear of being discovered by the baker. She hurried towards her home with the bread and candy in her arms.

"Al, do you know where this person is?" George felt that this Malfoy was really elusive to him.

It was unclear. He seemed to know everything and everyone. How could Al be able to talk to a Muggle who was about to die of starvation when he came out of a secret passage?

Al stopped where they fell, anxious, and simply replied: "I'll explain it to you after I finish treating Kiki, okay now we have to go to Hogsmeade."

"Okay." George was a little reluctant. The kitten showed its head under Al's robe. Although it was a little listless, it didn't seem to be in danger. He didn't keep pets, but he understood the feelings of pet owners, so he stretched out his hands towards Al.

Al: ""

George explained: "If you hold the cat, can you climb up by yourself?"

Al looked up at the mouth of the pipe, which was half his body taller than himself, and realized the reality that he was now just a short winter melon.

Al really didn't like being carried around by George like a three-year-old child. He was already in his thirties at heart. He was an old guy, but he was shorter than a human and had to give up. He had to stand in front of George.

George still smells bad.

But George was very strong, unlike a thirteen-year-old child, and he easily lifted Al to the exit of the passage.

Al didn't know which part of the house the passage they fell into was and what its function was. It was sloping upwards. The only comfort was that it didn't smell bad, only the smell of damp earth.

The slope of the pipe is very steep. Al is too young now and does not have much strength. He can only cling to the bottom of the pipe to prevent himself from falling; it is difficult to maintain the position of neither going up nor down, which is very frustrating. It was very uncomfortable until George climbed up too, and he backed away from Al: "Hey, do you need help?"

"Don't push my ass," Al said angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but if I push your feet, it'll be harder for you to climb up," George said, once again convinced that his "sorry" to this Malfoy extended to the next ten years.

Al had to reluctantly let him push his butt forward. This is really embarrassing.

The two people returned to the fork and headed towards another secret passage. This time, the two agreed to confirm whether it was Hogsmeade outside before going out.

At the end of this secret passage is a trap door. George carefully pushed it open. It was dark outside. He smelled the familiar sweetness of candy, and waved to Al: "It's Hogsmeade, come up."

The two people got out from under the trap door in the warehouse of Honeydukes candy store. This was Al's first time to Hogsmeade. The wizarding town was shrouded in mystery in the night, but now he had no intention of admiring the scenery at all. Urging: "Take me to the magic pet shop quickly."

As if being urged, George trotted with Al on his waist. The sky was already completely dark. George took off his robe as he ran and said to Al behind him: "Quick, take off your robe. They will know that we are Hogwarts." It’s going to be troublesome.”

"But even if we take off our robes, we will still be recognized as being from Hogwarts." Al pointed out calmly.

"No," George fumbled in his robe pocket, took out a pair of glasses and put them on. Al was surprised to find that George's face had become more mature, a bit like Arthur Weasley.

"Hide your robe and tie, we can pretend to be a father and son." George patted Al's head.

A father and son.

Call a Weasley daddy

Al didn't like the idea very much.

But he still obediently took off his robe and tie, rolled them up, and put them together with George's clothes in an inconspicuous corner behind the pet shop. George straightened his hair, which was messed up due to running, and stretched out a hand towards Al.

Al had to hold his hand. George's hands were much bigger than Al's, and Al really had the illusion that George was an elder now.

"What are you wearing?" Al asked quietly.

There was a bit of pride in George's voice: "Oh, it's just a prank gadget from a joke shop. I modified it and made it have its current function, but it's a very unskilled magic. Just make any distinction. The spell will make it ineffective."

But George is only in third grade now. Al sighed in his heart that these twins were really geniuses. He awkwardly held George in one hand and the cat in the other and entered the pet shop in Hogsmeade. This pet shop is a bit smaller than the one in Diagon Alley, but although it is small and well-equipped, the shop also has a dazzling array of pets of all kinds, as well as many cats of different types.

"Well, madam, I would like to ask you to take a look at this poor little guy. She is sick and makes my son very anxious. So I am very sorry to bother you so late." George cleared his throat with a dry cough and pretended to look at her. The shopkeeper bowed.

Hearing the phrase "my son", the vein in Al's forehead jumped involuntarily.
