Ch282- Hogsade

Last few weeks were intense, and Harry felt the need for a proper break. With Halloween and the first Hogsade weekend coming up, the timing couldn’t have been better. He wasn’t a stranger to the village or sneaking out of the school. His cloak and map had given him plenty of practice in evading detection, a fact Dumbledore had probably already suspected. But this ti was different—this was an official visit. No need to worry about being seen or recognized, just a chance to enjoy the trip with his friends without any hassle.

The upcoming Hogsade visit also carried a bit of novelty. Sure, he’d been there before under the disguise, but walking openly, with company, would be sothing else.

Harry arrived at the castle gates, spotting Daphne, Tracey, Susan, Hannah, Hermione, and Neville waiting for him. Standing nearby, Luna, Ginny, and Astoria were looking a bit disappointed, clearly annoyed that, being younger, they couldn’t join the trip to Hogsade.

The mont they saw Harry approaching, their expressions brightened. Tracey was the first to speak, grinning widely. "Finally! Took you long enough. Let’s get going!"

Harry raised an eyebrow at Tracey’s impatience, but he couldn’t help the slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "What’s the rush? Hogsade isn’t going anywhere."

Daphne crossed her arms, feigning annoyance but unable to hide the amusent in her voice. "We’ve been standing here for ages. You owe us butterbeer for the wait."

Harry chuckled. "Fine, fine. Butterbeer’s on ."

Ginny called out from the sidelines, her tone playful but tinged with frustration. "You’d better bring us sothing back, Harry! It’s not fair that we’re stuck here."

Astoria nodded along, frowning a little. "Yeah, we’re missing out!"

Hermione smiled sympathetically at them, but before she could respond, Susan chid in, her voice teasing. "Don’t worry, we’ll make sure to get you sothing... if you behave."

Ginny rolled her eyes but grinned back. "Deal."

As the group started making their way down the path, Hannah fell into step beside Harry. "So, where are we heading first? Honeydukes?"

Neville perked up at the ntion of the sweet shop, nodding enthusiastically. "Definitely Honeydukes."

"I was thinking Zonko’s," Tracey suggested, throwing a mischievous glance at Daphne, who only shrugged.

"Both, maybe?" Hermione interjected, always the practical one. "We’ve got ti."

Looking around, Harry asked, "Where are the troublemakers?"

Daphne replied, "The twins took Draco, Nott, and Zabini to Zonko’s over so bet. I didn’t catch all of their chatter."

Hermione, who was walking just ahead, filled in the gaps. "Fred and George challenged Draco and Nott to a price guessing contest. They’re spending an hour in the shop, morizing prices. Zabini will be the one testing them later by creating a list to check if they rember everything."

Harry chuckled, "That sounds like a losing ga. Fred and George practically live in that shop."

Tracey grinned, falling in step beside them. "Yeah, but Draco’s not one to back down from a challenge. Though I’m pretty sure the twins have this one in the bag."

Neville, keeping pace, laughed. "I’m just glad I’m not in on that bet. No way I’d rember all those prices. Twins are master at that."

"True," Harry agreed. "It’ll be fun watching them squirm later, though."

As they walked further down the path towards Hogsade, the crisp autumn air filled with the chatter of students excited for the day ahead. Hermione changed the topic. "So, are we sticking to our plan or catch up with bet? Honeydukes first, then maybe a stop at the bookstore?"

"Definitely Honeydukes," Susan chid in from behind. "I’m already craving so chocolate."

Harry smirked. "You always have a sweet tooth, Susan."

"Is that why I am drawn to you?" Susan shot back with a teasing grin before realizing what she just said. As soon as the words left her mouth, a blush crept over her cheeks, and without a second thought, she dashed off, clearly embarrassed. Hannah followed quickly, laughing softly at her friend’s sudden escape.

Chuckling, Harry shook his head, watching them go. "Where did the other girls run off to?" he asked, turning back to Tracey.

"Shopping," Tracey sighed, sounding mildly exasperated. "Lavender and Parvati took them. They’ll join us later, once they’re done."

Harry raised an eyebrow but didn’t ask any more questions. He had a good guess as to why the girls might need so privacy. “Fair enough,” he replied with a smirk, deciding not to pry further.

Reaching Hogsade, Harry took the lead, guiding the group down the familiar cobblestone streets. The air was cool, and the village humd with the weekend excitent of students mingling and shopkeepers attending to their business.

The group headed down the main path, passing by a few familiar shops. Harry kept his steps steady, not rushing. There was no need to hurry today—it was one of those rare tis where there wasn’t a pressing problem or so hidden agenda to worry about.

As they approached the door of Honeydukes, Tracey darted ahead, pushing it open with a grin. “Co on, slowpokes,” she teased, holding the door wide for the rest of them.

Harry was the last to enter, giving a small nod of thanks to Tracey. The sll of sugar and chocolate filled the air, and it wasn’t long before everyone scattered, eager to explore the shop.

Harry glanced around the shop as he stepped in, noticing Susan and Hannah already darting from one display to another, examining every sweet in sight. Susan, seemingly recovered from her earlier embarrassnt, was now deeply focused on inspecting the various candies with a determined look. He moved closer to Hermione, who was standing nearby, her expression less enthusiastic.

“Not tempted by all this?” Harry asked, a slight smirk on his lips.

Hermione shook her head. “My parents always warned about eating too much sugar. Dentists, rember?”

Harry chuckled. “Right. Well, I suppose we can avoid any dentist lectures while we’re here. What’s the harm in a little bit?”

Hermione sighed, half amused. “Maybe. But I’m not going overboard like the others.”

Susan popped back over, holding a large jar filled with Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. “Co on, Hermione, live a little!” she teased before hurrying back to Hannah, who was now eyeing a stack of Chocolate Frogs.

Harry glanced at Hermione, eyebrow raised. “See? Even Susan agrees. One sweet won’t kill you.”

Hermione rolled her eyes, but a small smile crept across her face. “Fine, but just one.”

Satisfied, Harry watched as Susan and Hannah moved further into the shop, their excitent almost contagious. He shifted his attention back to Hermione, who was now half-heartedly inspecting a small tin of mints, still clearly resisting the sugary temptation.

The warm, sugary scent of the shop filled the air, mingling with the quiet chatter of other students exploring the aisles. He saw Neville at the far end of the shop, grabbing so Cauldron Cakes and exchanging words with the shopkeeper. anwhile, Tracey was loudly debating with Daphne about whether they should get a box of Fizzing Whizzbees or sothing more “dangerous,” like Acid Pops. The rest of their group moved around the shop in similar fashion, each of them wrapped up in the simple enjoynt of a Hogsade trip.

Pansy, Lavender, Parvati, Padma, and Cho joined them soon, carrying a few bags in their arms. Harry gave a small nod, smirking. “Too impatient to wait?”

Lavender chuckled as she adjusted one of her bags. “We’re just efficient, Potter.”

Parvati nudged her playfully. “Yeah, we were actually considering leaving without you.”

Harry raised an eyebrow. “Considering? I’m shocked you didn’t.”

Cho smiled, her tone teasing. “We thought we’d give you the benefit of the doubt this ti.”

“Well, I appreciate your generosity,” Harry replied, his voice laced with sarcasm. He glanced at the bags. “What’s in the haul?”

“Just a few essentials,” Padma chid in, holding up a bag from Gladrags. “Nothing you’d be interested in.”

“Ah, well, if it’s nothing but essentials, then I’ll pass,” Harry said with a grin, turning his attention back to the rest of the group.

As they continued to browse through Honeydukes, Tracey said Daphne. “Alright, enough shopping. Let’s grab what we ca for and get out of here before we’re trapped under an avalanche of sugar.”

Daphne nodded in agreent, grabbing a few more sweets. “Right. We’ll move to the Three Broomsticks after?”

“Sounds like a plan,” Hermione said, already eyeing the exit.

As the group entered the Three Broomsticks, Harry found himself face-to-face with Madam Rosrta.

"Well, well, if it isn't a few third years from Hogwarts," Rosrta said with a playful grin, wiping her hands on her apron. "First ti here, love?"

Harry couldn't help but chuckle at her cheerful tone. "Sothing like that. Na’s Harry."

Rosrta nodded, flashing him a warm smile. "Rosrta, at your service. Take a seat, love. I’ll be with you in a sec."

Though the encounter seed new for Rosrta, Harry couldn't help but notice how familiar the situation felt. A few weeks earlier, under the guise of Albus Riddle, he had been in the very sa spot. Her words now, almost identical to before, made him smirk to himself. He shook his head as he led his friends to a table.
