Chapter 259: Hogsmeade Travels

"A lot of quill and parchment!"

Walking into the Literati Habitat Quill Store, Hermione's eyes lit up instantly.

A variety of quill pens and parchment and other stationery are all over the shelves, rainbow ink, king-size quill pens, parchment with all kinds of beautiful patterns…

Li Xuan felt that this literary residence quill specialty store was just like those very popular stationery boutiques when Li Xuan was in elementary school, junior high school and high school. There are also a variety of stationery bought inside, but those stationery are either cute or cool, even a simple notebook can give you the whole job.

It's just that after Li Xuan graduated from high school, the rise of e-commerce left these boutiques without the soil for survival, and they all went bankrupt, which can be said to be Li Xuan's youth.

Once upon a time, graduation memoirs, envelopes with anime patterns, notebooks with sad words, and strangely shaped fountain pens filled the entire campus.

Hermione and Penelo were completely immersed in it, what girl didn't want her stationery to be beautiful and not ordinary when she was studying?!

Most of the quill shops in the literati are girls, and boys are more willing to spend money on Jokowi joke shops and buy some quill pens with unique functions there!

Li Xuan is also interested in looking at the latest new products, this kind of novel stationery, relying on the continuous introduction of new products.

It is always the same old model, most people will not buy it after they have it, and those who do not see the style of the rotten street will not think of spending money again.

This is the same as the game skin, the more novel the skin, the less people have the skin, for vanity and show-off, the more everyone wants, all of which is a truth.

Anyway, today all day, there is no hurry, just a few shops, one for an hour.

Pick and choose, this time it is not like in the honey duke candy store is a big bag, candy this kind of food is different, after eating.

Like stationery can be used for a short period of time, just buy it when you run out, anyway, now that restrictions on going to Hogvensmeade Village have been opened, maybe there will be new products by then?!

After coming out of the Literati Habitat Quill Store, Hermione, who came for the first time, also went to other places, such as the condiment joke store, the Hogsmeade Post Office with hundreds of owls, the Hog's Head Bar, and so on.

In fact, there is another place, that is, Hogsmeade Station, but this station Li Xuan they come several times a year, there is nothing to see.

The last pig's head bar, Li Xuan, did not enter it, even knowing that it was run by Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth.

But from its tattered wooden sign with a severed pig's head, the white cloth that wrapped the pig's head was also penetrated by blood, and it became pitch black over time.

Even if you don't go in, if you look at it from the doorway, you can see that it is dark and small, and you can ask a strong smell of sheep from far away.

As for why not look through the window?

Sorry, the windows were thick with dirt, and there was not even the slightest bit of light to penetrate in.

Penelo didn't go in, and neither did Li Xuan, but according to the warriors who entered, the ground inside at first thought it would be compacted mud, but it was actually compacted dirt that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time!

Quirrell, who was disguised the year before last, pretended to accept defeat here, handed over the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon egg to Hagrid, and obtained information from him to deal with the three-headed dog Luffy.

By the way, now both the three-headed dog Luffy and the Norwegian backbone dragon Norberta are in Li Xuan's small world, and the original Quirrell has been turned into ashes for more than a year.

Even Li Xuan glanced at the screaming shack on the outskirts of Hogsmeade from a distance, and finally returned to the Three Broomsticks Bar to enjoy a cup of the famous butterbeer here.

Compared to the dim, dirty pig's head bar, this Three Broomsticks bar run by Ms. Rosmerta is much better! It makes people feel spacious and bright, clean and warm bar and table, the whole store is very clean, people are not at all excluded.

Coupled with Ms. Rosmerta's superb winemaking skills, almost every wizard who comes to Hogsmeade will come here to sit down and taste Ms. Rosmerta's craftsmanship.

There are quite a few signs of three brooms, butterbeer, lemonade, hot mead, red wine, cherry juice, soda with ice and a small umbrella, etc.

...

...

But best known are butterbeer and hot mead, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey diluted with water.

The same is true of butterbeer, which is a frothy alcoholic beverage with very little alcohol, which is lower in alcohol than mead.

But even such a low butterbeer will still make house-elves drunk.

"It has a buttery taste, but the rich foam does not make people feel greasy, and the slight sweetness continues to burst with bubbles in the mouth."

Li Xuan tasted the butterbeer of these two silver Xike bottles, and the price was not low.

Penelope over there could order mead with a higher alcohol content, after all, in the wizarding world, seventeen is actually considered an adult.

And this butterbeer is still ordered when Li Xuan and Hermione are fifteen or sixteen years old, after all, they don't sell alcohol to minors, even in the wizarding world.

If it's a pig's head bar, it probably doesn't matter that much, but the owner of the three broomsticks, Ms. Rosmerta, is a very responsible wizard.

Or maybe you don't want to get a warning from the Ministry of Magic because of this?!

However, there are no restrictions on cherry juice and soda, like many young wizards who come to Hogsmeade Village for the first time.

Although the drink is not alcohol, but at least feel the atmosphere here, and go back to brag with the friends, after all, I have also been to the bar!

Li Xuan looked around, although the bar was almost full, most of them were Hogwarts students, and there were few real customers.

It seems that the business of the three brooms is still a lot cold because of the arrival of the Dementors, according to Penelo on the road, when there were no Dementors stationed before, the bar was late but there was no place.

Now that Hogwarts students have filled a lot so that they don't seem so deserted, it's no wonder that the first thing Mrs. Rosmerta said when she saw Fudge in the future was to complain.

No matter which merchant's business is badly affected, it is such a feeling!
