HP Star Shining

The statue's hunchback suddenly opened, revealing a hole large enough for a small person to pass through.

The two men got in, slid a long distance along a passage, and fell on the wet and sticky ground.

Su Xingchen felt the stickiness on her hands and her eyebrows twitched involuntarily. She really didn't like the way wizards traveled.

Taking advantage of the darkness all around, he quickly performed the Qingchen Jue, and immediately his whole body felt refreshed.

"Lumos." A beam of light appeared with Harry at its center.

Su Xingchen patted her chest quietly. Fortunately, she acted quickly.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"It's okay." She waved her hands quickly.

Harry studied the short, narrow dirt passage, which went in only one direction.

He tapped the map with his wand and said, "Prank over." The map immediately became blank. He folded it carefully and put it in his robe pocket. "Let's go."

It's a winding passage, like a rabbit hole.

Harry walked in front with his wand in hand, and from time to time he tripped on the uneven ground. Fortunately, Su Xingchen, who was walking behind him, always grabbed him in time to avoid the possibility of falling.

It was a really long passage. The two of them didn't know how long they had walked. They were panting, with hot cheeks and cold feet.

Harry was supported by the belief in Honeydukes, and Su Xingchen felt that she should not come next time.

The passage began to rise, and after walking for about ten minutes, they came to the bottom of a dilapidated stone staircase.

Finally, is it almost here?

The two of them climbed up the stone stairs carefully to avoid making any noise, one hundred steps, two hundred steps.

Su Xingchen took a deep breath and looked at the seemingly endless stairs. She was so naive.

Next time, no, there won't be a next time, it's not worth it for a glass of butterbeer!

Harry lost count and looked down at his feet.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound in the silent passage, as if something hard was hit.

"What's wrong, Harry?"

"It's okay." Harry stood still and rubbed his head. "It looks like a trapdoor."

He listened carefully, making sure there was no movement above, then slowly pushed open the trap door and peeked out through the crack.

This is a cellar filled with various wooden crates.

Harry climbed up, reached out to pull Su Xingchen up, and covered the trapdoor again. It blended seamlessly with the gray floor and there was no sign of anything unusual.

"Wait." Su Xingchen stopped Harry who was about to climb up the wooden stairs, took out the wand from his pocket and cast "Cleanse" on him.

Very good, now he is a clean and tidy little boy again. She clapped her hands in satisfaction and said, "Let's go."

Harry smiled helplessly. Perhaps it was because he had been wearing his cousin Dudley's old clothes since he was a child, so he was used to the dirty and old clothes and didn't care too much. But Su Xingchen was obviously different.

Just then they heard the door open. "Get another box of jelly slugs, dear, they're almost selling out here..." a woman's voice came, as if she was coming downstairs.

The two of them quickly hid behind a huge wooden box next to the stairs. Harry couldn't help but be glad that Su Xingchen had just come to stop him, otherwise he might have met this person face to face.

A pair of feet walked down the stairs and stopped in front of a wooden box far away from the stairs. A huge figure with a shiny bald head dived into the box and searched.

The two of them looked at each other, then quickly and quietly climbed up the stairs.

Harry opened the door and slipped out quietly, and found that he was behind the counter of Honeydukes. Su Xingchen followed behind and closed the door. Then the two of them crouched down and walked out of the counter.

Honeydukes was packed with Hogwarts students, and no one noticed the two extra people, and no one even looked at them.

They both breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at each other and quickly bumped fists.

After spending a long time with Harry, Su Xingchen became more and more adept at doing such illegal things.

He who keeps company with vermilion becomes redder!

The two walked sideways in the crowded crowd, where rows of shelves were filled with colorful, delicious and juicy candies.

Large pieces of milky yellow butter almond candy, shiny pink coconut ice cream, honey-colored toffee, hundreds of neatly arranged chocolates, a large bucket of Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans and Zizi Honey Candy.

On a wall hung a sign that said "Special Effect Candy," Harry saw the "Sheet Jelly" that Ron had mentioned, which made people float in the air after eating it, the "Blowing Super Bubble Gum" that filled the room with bluebell-colored bubbles, and the "Pepper Pudgy" that was small and black and could spit fire after eating it.

Su Xingchen also liked to visit candy stores because they were beautiful, but she rarely bought anything. It wasn't that she disliked candy, but the candy sold outside was cloying and unsuitable for Chinese tastes. That was why she treasured the fruit candies she had A Kui make so much.

Harry stared intently. Su Xingchen patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the farthest corner of the store, where Ron and Hermione were standing under a sign that said "Special Flavors," discussing something.

The two of them squeezed over there.

"Uh, no. I don't think Harry would want those, they're for vampires," said Hermione.

"How about these?" Ron picked up a jar of cockroach candies.

"Absolutely not," said Harry.

Ron was so frightened that he almost dropped the jar.

"Harry! Star!" Hermione screamed. "Why are you here?"

"Shh!" Harry and Su Xingchen made a gesture of silence at the same time.

"Wow!" Ron's eyes sparkled, his face filled with admiration. "You've learned how to Apparate?"

"Of course not." In order to prevent the surrounding students from hearing, Harry brought everyone out and whispered to them about the Marauder's Map at the door of Honeydukes.

"How come George and Fred never thought of giving it to me?" Ron couldn't believe it. "I'm their biological brother!"

"But Harry won't keep it!" Hermione said seriously. "You'll give it to Professor McGonagall, right, Harry?"

"No, I won't."

"Are you crazy?" Ron glared at Hermione. "Why would you hand in such a good thing?"

"If I hand it over, I'll have to tell you where I got it, and Filch will know Fred and George stole it from him," said Harry.

"But what about Sirius Black?" Hermione gritted her teeth. "What if he uses the passage on the map to get into Hogwarts?"

"No, Filch already knows about four of them. One is collapsed and no one can get through. Another has an entrance through the Whomping Willow. Only the one with Honeydukes..."

Harry hesitated. What if he accidentally lost the map and Black knew the route?

Su Xingchen was about to say something when Ron cleared his throat seriously and pointed at a notice at the door of the candy store.

The notice stated that Dementors would be patrolling the streets to protect the residents of Hogsmeade.
