"We can go there!" Hermione pointed at Madam Perdiff's Teahouse and narrowed her eyes. "That shop looks very special!"
"Are you sure?!" Elwyn looked at the teahouse in surprise.
If Qiu Zhang had not mentioned it, he would not have noticed the place. It was filled with pink, girly ornaments with tacky lace. Elwyn was suspicious of the shop owner's taste.
"Of course I'm sure. Let's go in, Elwyn. I can't let others think that I'm standing alone in the snow." Hermione said. "It looks like there are small compartments inside. You don't have to worry about being discovered. You can take off the Invisibility Cloak."
Elwyn and Hermione crossed the road and entered the teahouse a few minutes later.
The air was filled with a sweet aroma. The teahouse was very small and misty, as if everything was decorated with frills or bows. Above each small round table was a flying golden angel, sprinkling pink confetti to the people.
The two sat down at the only remaining round table, next to the foggy window.
Next to them was a large Christmas tree. Through the gaps of the leaves, they could vaguely see a Hufflepuff fifth-year boy. He was holding hands with a beautiful blonde girl.
Elwyn felt a little uncomfortable, and so did Hermione.
They seemed to have just realized that the room was full of couples holding hands.
"What would you like?" A plump middle-aged woman with a shiny black bun squeezed between two tables with great difficulty.
"Two cups of coffee, please!" Elwyn said.
As soon as he raised his head, pink confetti was scattered on his face by the little angel in midair.
While waiting for the coffee, Elwyn noticed that the couple next to him had begun to kiss through the sugar jar. Their lips seemed to be glued together. He really hoped that they wouldn't do this.
Hermione also noticed this. She turned her head and looked at Elwyn. Both of them hurriedly looked away in panic.
The atmosphere was very awkward, and Elwyn tried not to think about the messy things.
However, his conscious thoughts were not under his control. He seemed to feel that the boy in front of him was setting an example that Hermione would soon want him to follow.
He wasn't sure if he should do that. He and Hermione hadn't progressed to that stage yet.
According to the procedure, shouldn't two people confess before doing this?!
Elwyn asked himself if he really liked Hermione. Besides, since she invited him to this teahouse, was she hinting at something?
If that was the case, shouldn't he take the initiative?!
Hermione's cheeks were bright red. She was very cute, like a ripe apple. One couldn't help but want to take a bite.
"Whatever, I'll give it my all!" A mixture of fear and excitement welled up in his heart. Elwyn made up his mind and gulped.
He leaned forward slightly and reached out to hold Hermione's cold hand. His breathing almost stopped for an instant.
Hermione trembled slightly. She seemed to want to pull her hand back, but she stopped immediately. Her face was redder than before.
Hermione looked at Elwyn with misty eyes. The sweet scent in the air almost made her brain stop working.
She saw Elwyn's body lean over as if he was going to do something. She wanted to dodge, but her right hand was held tightly by him. Hermione's body trembled slightly. Although this was not the first time she shook hands with Elwyn, she felt a strange electric shock.
Hermione could not remember when the boy had entered her heart. Perhaps it was last year in the common room, when the snake monster attacked her; or this year, when she was helpless in the face of more than a hundred Dementors; or perhaps it was this year.
Before this, she had heard about this teahouse from other girls.
Qiu Zhang's appearance made her feel an inexplicable threat. Hermione originally thought this was just a normal meeting place, but she didn't expect everyone to meet here.
Hermione knew what Elwyn was going to do next. She didn't feel any disgust, but wasn't this too fast?
Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was beating fast. She should stop Elwyn. They couldn't do this, but she didn't have any strength in her body.
Hermione saw Elwyn getting closer and closer to her. She could feel his breath.
The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer.
Just as Elwyn's lips were about to touch Hermione's, Madam Pattiff walked over with two cups of coffee.
The two of them hurriedly separated like kittens that had done something bad. Their movements were so big that they almost flipped the table over.
Madam Pattiff didn't say anything, but the unspoken smile on her face made the two of them feel extremely awkward.
Elwyn's face heated up, and he turned to look out the window.
The next second, through the thick layer of steam, he saw the Ministry of Magic's Minister Cornelius Fudge, Professor Meg, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid, and two Auros he didn't know crossing the street. The six of them were trudging through the heavy snow, as if they were going to the Three Broomsticks Bar.
Elwyn glanced at them, and his attention was completely attracted by the two short figures next to them. A big black dog and a ginger cat slipped past the street. It was Sirius Black and Mount Crook.
He didn't expect Blake to be so bold as to appear in Hogsmeade so brazenly and pass by Fudge, Professor Meg, Professor Flitwick, and Hagrid.
Blake stopped in his tracks and looked at the backs of Fudge and the two Auros with disdain.
"Hey, that's Mount Crook. What's it doing in Hogsmeade?!"
Following Elwyn's gaze, Hermione saw Mount Crook outside the window. Due to the angle, she didn't see Sirius Black.
"Wait, Hermione, I'll go bring it back!"
Elwyn hurriedly stood up, and under the shocked gazes of Hermione and Madam Perdiff, he opened the door and rushed out into the snow.
For some reason, whenever he thought of Ron's recent abnormal actions, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease. Although he already had a plan, it would be best if he could get in touch with Sirius Black before this.
On the street, Blake and Mount Crook's figures disappeared around the corner, leaving two lines of footprints in the thick snow, one shallow and one deep.
Following the footprints, Elwyn arrived at the Owl Post Office. It was dark inside, and the shelves were filled with owls. There were at least three hundred of them, ranging from the common large grey eagles to the palm-sized minstrel owls. They were all calling out in low voices.
Apart from the owls, there was no one else in the shop.
Blake and Mount Crook seemed to have gone to the second floor, where the owl postmen had been trained to collect postage according to distance.
Elwyn pulled out his wand. There was only one door in the post office, and once inside, Sirius Black had nowhere else to go.
