The statue opened in response, revealing a dark secret passage that was deep and far and led to nowhere.

Even though he had read this description in a book, Al still said "wow" in amazement when he was actually there. George looked back at him, as if he was a little proud.

Al immediately grimaced and urged George to go in quickly.

George opened the way in front of the secret passage, while Al held Kiki in one hand and could only crawl forward with one hand. George climbed very fast, but Al had to keep his body balanced so as not to upset Kiki too much.

After crawling in silence for a while, George suddenly asked: "Al, has anyone ever said that you have an accent? I don't know where it is, but it sounds like"

"Shut up." Al interrupted him mercilessly.

What's wrong with having a Chinese accent? Try being tortured by the English teacher who has been obsessed with the accent for nine years.

Our chinglish is also very good, okay?

George, who was about to say "Your accent is cute", closed his mouth.

After climbing for a while, Al began to pant: he was too young, too lazy to exercise, and had poor physical fitness. Soon, the entire secret passage was filled with Al's exhausted breathing.

"Hey, Al." George stopped suddenly again, and Al almost hit the sole of his shoe.

"Why did you stop so suddenly?" Al was a little angry, but thinking that George still needed to take him to Hogsmeade, he still took a deep breath and said, "Please tell me first when you stop next time."

"Sorry, sorry, sorry," George said a lot of apologies in succession. He felt that he might have said all the apologies that he had not been able to say in the past thirteen years to this Malfoy. "I just want to ask you, do you want me to Hold it your cat I have pockets in my robe so you can crawl with two hands and it will be easier.”

"No, thank you, you can just crawl slower." Al flatly refused. He didn't remember how long this secret passage was. In the original book, Harry seemed to have climbed for a long time, and still used only one He would no doubt suffer a lot from his hand, but who knew what the twins might have in their pockets and hurt his cat?

George asked for trouble, shrugged and continued to crawl forward.

Fortunately, after continuing to crawl for a while, George lit up his wand, and through the light Al was able to see this wet and cold secret passage: the section of road they crawled through was very narrow, almost like a sewer, but now they The standing area is spacious enough for two people to walk side by side.

"Strange." Al heard George's strange murmur, "When did there be a fork in the road here and how come we never found it before?"

"Forked Road" Al looked in the direction pointed by George's wand and saw two identical forked roads in front of him, but one went left and the other went right.

Even though he was a die-hard fan of the original work, Al couldn't remember what a secret passage that appeared in less than a hundred words in the third part looked like, or whether it had a branch road. He kicked the wall irritably: "Which path leads to it?" To Hogsmeade"

"I don't know, maybe we can only give it a try. Let's go to the left first." George was actually a little uneasy. Suddenly there was a fork in the secret passage. No one knew where it led, but if he wanted to turn around and go back now, Al would definitely Wouldn't agree.

"Walk behind me. Can you please take out your wand? Will the fluorescent light flash? If I let you run, don't hesitate. Run back to the original fork immediately. Don't go back to Hogwarts. Climb back too slowly. You may hide. Don’t drive dangerously and run directly to Hogsmeade via another branch, got it?”

Al nodded, a little puzzled that George was facing such an enemy.

Voldemort is still lying on the back of Quirrell's head. The Death Eaters have been silent for some years. The most dangerous thing in Hogwarts now may be the three-headed hell dog Luwei on the third floor. He doesn't understand what George is nervous about. .

But it's always right to be cautious, and because of this, Al feels that George is at least better than Ron, a reckless little guy. He didn't know many spells, but "luminescent flash" was very simple, and Al still knew this spell. After lighting his own wand, George's wand is freed and can cast spells when in danger.

The two people moved forward carefully on the fork in the road. Al was enveloped by George's tall back and felt very safe.

As I walked, a little light appeared in front of me. At the same time, Al smelled a stink in his nose, it was like excrement, evil.

"Our destination won't be the public toilets in Hogsmeade, right?" Al's hands were occupied and he couldn't pinch his nose, so he had to hold his breath as best he could.

I don’t know what kind of spell George cast in front of him, and the surrounding air quickly became miraculously fresher. Al took a deep breath as if he was granted a pardon, and heard George’s helpless voice: “I don’t know, there was no such smell before. Maybe we should go out and have a look.”

It would be too bad if Hogwarts really changed the focus of the secret passages to the toilets in Hogsmeade.

However, after actually getting out, George realized that he would rather they got out from the toilet.

Because now, they're in a pigsty

Merlin, pigsty

George would never dream of having anything to do with these lazy, smelly creatures.

But now he's lying next to a pig

The sky was gloomy, and the cold rain slapped randomly on George's face. For a moment, he couldn't stand the fact that he had turned into a smelly pile of pig dung, until Al looked like he wanted to throw him out of the Hogwarts tower. The expression poked him with the tip of the wand, and he found himself again.

"Don't be in a daze, please clean it up with one, Weasley."

George climbed up slowly, his robes still dripping with a mixture of mud and water. Merlin blessed them with mud. Al was doing better, with only some dirt under his robe. Thanks to George, after hearing his screams when he fell, Al climbed out with extra caution.

So he didn't fall completely into the pig pen, luckily.

"I can't, Al," George said apologetically, "I'm underage, this is not Hogwarts, and I will be warned if I use spells."

Al then remembered that this guy who was already a head taller than him was only thirteen years old. Having no choice but to endure the stench, Al put the extinguished wand back into his pocket to avoid accidentally casting any spells.

"This is not Hogsmeade, right?" Al looked around. The architectural style here was completely different from that of the wizarding world, and it looked inexplicably familiar.

George was about to say something when suddenly a voice came from the other side of the pigsty. The two of them instinctively hid in the corner together, and then heard a cursing female voice outside, with an American accent. After Al heard it, it seemed that he was talking about burnt bread.

Soon, one of them got confused

Half of the bread was roughly thrown into the pig pen, causing the pigs to eat. The bread was so battered that half of it was pitch black, almost like carbon.

Al quietly poked half of his head out, squinted his eyes, and wiped the rain off his face. At a glance, he saw a little girl leaning under a tree, with a sallow face and a skinny face.

This girl looked very familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, Al suddenly realized.

Merlin, this is Katniss

How could it be her

"This is a small bow made by my father. You are a little smaller than me, so I think you can use this better." Katniss found a bow that was smaller than her bow and arrow from somewhere and gave it to Al. She suddenly showed a suspicious expression and asked, "You were like this when I saw you last time. Why, it's been more than a year and you haven't changed at all."

"You could say you're still so short." Al replied calmly. Boys develop later than girls, and Al is two years younger than Katniss, so even though Katniss is no longer tall, Al is still half a head shorter than her. "I grow very slowly, I can't help it."

George burst out laughing.

Katniss also had a smile on her face. She stood with her legs spread apart and her feet one behind the other. She held the bow and arrow in both hands and raised them flat, demonstrating how to fully draw the bow and arrow: "Like this, put your hands here, Pull hard”

Al followed suit in a standard posture and pulled hard

Couldn't pull. The bow was only pulled halfway, and Al's cheeks were already flushed from the exertion.

Katniss has completely focused on her arrow. On a tree more than fifty meters away, there is a bird that cannot be described as a species, but it is quite large. It is jumping leisurely. Katniss points the tip of the arrow towards Aim it: "Aim at your target, draw the bow full, and let go."

With a whoosh, Katniss's arrow hit the bird's body. She had not yet practiced to the point where every arrow could hit the prey's eyes. The little girl happily ran to pick up the prey she shot, and Al's arrow also shot out. With the same hiss, the arrow flew feebly a few meters away and hit the ground in a parabola. If it got closer, it would Hit Al's toe.

George laughed and fell against the tree trunk

The tips of Al's ears turned red, and he pretended to be calm and walked over to pick up the arrow: "Don't laugh at me, George."

"Okay." George smiled obediently, "Al, I think you need to exercise more."

Al: ""

"I'm a mage, I'm ranged, I don't need physical strength." Al muttered unhappily.

"What are you?" Katniss picked up the prey and walked back when she heard Al's muttering.

"Nothing." Al said quickly.

"Come on, stand as I taught you just now, and I'll teach you again." Katniss put the birds and squirrels together with a smile on her face. Today was a bumper harvest, the prey could be exchanged for a lot of money, and there was candy for Prim in his pocket.

Al, who just wanted to give up archery, immediately stood up. Katniss is a perfect marksman and a long-range fighter.

When the bow was opened again, it could only be stretched so far. Katniss stood behind Al, the two of them very close. She held Al's left hand holding the bow with one hand, and held Al's left hand holding the bowstring with the other hand. He Jian's right hand almost held Al in his arms.

George's face suddenly elongated.

You're still so young, you can't be so ambiguous with girls

The short-term crash course did not improve the bow learning. After teaching for a while, Al could only prevent the arrow from hitting his toes. The sun is setting, and Katniss must go back.

She said goodbye to Al George with some reluctance, and before leaving, she asked: "When will you come again?"

Al pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "I will definitely come again. Take good care of yourself and your family."

The corners of George's mouth began to twitch slightly again. Why is it so much like lovers parting?

After Katniss's back disappeared behind the tree and was no longer visible, Al finally looked away and blinked, his eyes slightly moist.

George saw Al's expression and said in disbelief: "No, do you like her so much?"

"No." Al said with a vicissitudes of life, "You don't understand."

George: ""

They crawled back to the tree hole they came from. This time we needed to climb up first. The inner wall of the tree hole was quite smooth. Al climbed up with great difficulty with the help of George. It was very magical. There was no abnormality in the tree hole from the outside. After climbing up a few meters, Al climbed up. After that, it turned into a narrow horizontal passage.

Maybe they should find a chance to go to Peeta's pigsty to see if the vent can still lead back to Hogwarts, but Al intuitively felt that the entrance was no longer working.

Aldu felt depressed on the way back. He knows Katniss's fate: when she turns sixteen, her sister will be selected as a tribute, and in order to save her twelve-year-old sister, Katniss has to become a tribute in her place to participate in the Hunger Games. Although she and fellow District 12 Peeta pretended to be lovers and won the Hunger Games, her actions were seen as rebellion against the government.

Then came the second Hunger Games. He was injured and on the verge of death and was rescued to District 13, where he became the Mockingjay. Peeta became a weapon used by the capital to torture her, and the rebel president wanted to kill her after squeezing her value.

Katniss wanted to go to the capital to assassinate the president, but saw her sister being bombed to death in front of her eyes.

That is her most cherished sister.

What's more, the thing that killed her sister was co-invented by her best friend Gale.

Katniss must be only eighteen years old. Her life is very similar to Harry's. They were both involuntarily involved in the struggle between two rights, and were forced to face challenges to their lives at a very young age.

In the past, when Al was reading, he only looked at their lives from the perspective of a bystander, but he was suddenly thrown into the world of these people and became friends with them.

Harry Potter and Katniss Everdeen are real people, not just names in a book.

If Al knew every step of their future life direction, why didn't he make an effort and find a way to change some things?

At least Al might be able to protect someone they hold dear.

"Al, are you okay?"

Carrying Al out of the secret passage, George asked worriedly while leading him to avoid Filch who might be patrolling.

He said nothing in the secret passage, and now his expression is even more solemn. George couldn't help but worry that he had lost his mind by learning archery.
