Chapter 375: Long-Awaited Visiting Day

By lunchtime, the new beater had been chosen, Mikel.

His previous Quidditch books were not read in vain, as he had basically mastered the rules, and he was also good at flying, which allowed him to make it to the end of the selection.

Cedric immediately made the decision and decided that he would replace Wright and become the new beater of Hufflepuff.

After hearing the news, Ryan's eyes were red with envy.

He had previously competed for the goalkeeper, but in the end he lost to a fifth-year student in terms of reaction speed.

Mikel was very happy, and waved his hand to say... he would treat everyone to lunch in the hall.

After the first team training, Kyle quickly returned to the Hufflepuff common room and found an armchair near the fireplace to sit down.

It started raining after noon.

In the rain in October, even with a warm-up badge, you can still feel cold, and it is more comfortable near the warm fireplace.

There were many people in the common room, and it was very lively.

"What's going on?" he asked Connor, who was sitting in an armchair nearby, finishing two star charts for her astronomy class.

"First weekend in Hogsmeade," Connor pointed to a notice on the notice board. "End of October, just before Halloween."

"Great," Cedric said, squeezing in from behind. "I'm going to Davis-Bans to buy a set of broomstick trimmers, I feel like they're not turning as well as they used to. "

Kyle was also very happy. Going to Hogsmeade to shop was one of the few recreational activities for students.

Although he knew the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade and had been there many times before, he and Fred and George were caught by Professor McGonagall with the Three Broomsticks last time. They restrained themselves a lot and no longer sneaked there.

And this year there are Dementors, so it is even more impossible to go.

Because of Dumbledore, the Dementors were still polite in school and just guarded the entrance, but it was different in Hogsmeade.

Especially after someone found traces of Sirius Black nearby...

Those shop owners have said more than once in "The Prophet" The Daily News complained and called on the Ministry of Magic to strengthen the management of Dementors, at least not to let them break into shops casually.

But the effect was minimal.

The Ministry of Magic didn't care, and Dementors... they didn't read newspapers.

If you happened to encounter Dementors when you sneaked to Hogsmeade, it would be much more troublesome than encountering a professor.

The next day, everyone was very excited because of the news of Hogsmeade's visit day. In the Herbology class, many people were still discussing where to go on that day.

Professor Sprout had to deduct the marks of two people to make them put away their enthusiasm.

"I know you are looking forward to going to Honeydukes Candy Store, but the content of our class is also very important."

Professor Sprout said loudly: "I must remind you that Belladonna is a poisonous and dangerous plant. You must concentrate when collecting pollen... unless you want to spend Halloween in the school hospital.

"Now, put on protective gloves..."

Professor Sprout's words were still very useful. When they heard that it was poisonous, everyone immediately became nervous and rushed to pick up the gloves placed on the table in advance.

After seeing everyone getting nervous, Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction.

She didn't say the second half of her sentence.

As long as the plants that students come into contact with in the greenhouse, there will be no great danger.

Just like last year's mandrakes, they are all in their infancy, and when their cries are deadly enough, they will be moved to another greenhouse by Professor Sprout.

And that place is not open to students.

The same is true for the belladonna this time.

Their flowers are still yellow, even if you accidentally get pollen, it will only irritate you for a few days at most, and you don't need to go to the school hospital at all.

And when they turn purple, they will be really dangerous. If you get pollen again at that time, it will not be a problem to spend Halloween in the school hospital... It's lucky to be discharged from the hospital on Christmas.

However, this part of the content is not needed for the time being, and it won't be too late to teach them after they return from Hogsmeade.

After the Herbology class, there will be no classes in the morning.

Kyle returned to the castle and met Harry, who looked depressed, near the entrance hall. He walked forward with his head down and said nothing, and almost knocked over a suit of armor in the corridor.

"Hey, kid, watch your step!"

A portrait on it shouted, "This is my favorite suit of armor!"

Harry didn't say anything, turned around and continued to walk towards the hall.

"What's wrong with him?" Kyle asked.

"No one signed his application form."

Hermione, who came with him, explained, "Professor McGonagall doesn't agree with him going to Hogsmeade?"

"That's because she is too conventional!" Ron couldn't help but say, "Professor McGonagall knew that Harry's uncle and aunt were both Muggles, and they hated everything related to magic, so they would never sign Harry's application form.

But she only needed one word to solve the problem..."

"Professor McGonagall is right!" Hermione was a little annoyed, "Don't forget Black, someone has seen him nearby once."

"Black is not a fool, he can't go to Hogsmeade and act rashly." Ron said.

"You are the only one who thinks so!" Hermione said angrily: If you don't believe me, ask Kyle and see what he says.

The two looked at each other at the same time... No, it should be three people, including Harry, who also looked up at Kyle.

Uh... Aren't you talking about Harry? Why did the topic suddenly turn to himself.

Kyle thought for a while and said, "I think what Hermione said makes sense. On the day of the visit, the Dementors in Hogsmeade will be transferred away. If Black wants to do something, that is the best opportunity."

"You see." Hermione looked up.

Ron muttered a few words, still thinking that the two were making a fuss.

Harry's expression did not change much.

After all, Professor McGonagall had clearly rejected his request. Unless Uncle Vernon rushed to Hogwarts to help him sign the application form, it would be useless to say anything.

This was obviously impossible.

Kyle's words barely gave him an excuse not to go.

Sirius Black is looking for him, so it would be safer to stay in Hogwarts...

Now Harry can only convince himself this way.

"Cheer up, there's still a party." Ron wanted to cheer Harry up and said, "The party on Halloween Eve will be held in the evening."

"Yeah, that's really good." Harry said, but he was still not very excited.
