From the post office on Central Avenue, turn into a small road next to it. A small bar is built at the intersection. A broken wooden sign is hung on the rusty bracket on the door. It is painted with a cut pig's head, and blood seeps through the white cloth wrapped around it. The boss is a eccentric old man, tall and thin, with gray-white hair and beard.

Pei Chen looked at the old man deeply. He always felt as if he had seen him vaguely.

But the mental fluctuations were so unfamiliar that Pei Chen was a little confused.

The first floor runs a bar, and the second floor is a hotel. There is only a small, dark, very dirty room in the bar, which emits a strong smell of sheep. A few bay windows were filled with thick dirt, and the light outside was almost impossible to see through. There were some candle heads on the rough wooden table. At first glance, I thought the ground was compacted mud, but when I stepped on it, I found that the ground, which was originally covered with stone, had accumulated centuries of dirt.

Everyone in the bar blocked their faces tightly, either wearing hoods or black cloaks. The cold eyes hidden in it made Pei Chen subconsciously feel uncomfortable.

When he found someone pushed the door open here, all the customers in the bar on the first floor looked over coldly, their eyes were faint and vicious, and more than a dozen malicious intentions fell on Pei Chen. Pei Chen sneered and looked back one by one, with his cold eyes as cold as a blade, forcing everyone down to lower their heads and dared not speak again. Only then did he feel much more satisfied.

Then, he began to look around like a proud emperor, looking at his palace, looking for the person he was waiting for. However, it seemed that the person he was looking for had not arrived yet. Finally, after a round of inspections, Pei Chen's eyes fixed on the oil painting of the blonde girl on the living room wall, and his expression seemed even more confused.

...

...

"That, I'll be back...uh? You two?!How come you guys here?"

Pei Chen looked at the Weasley twin brothers who appeared in front of him in amazement, and felt a little confused. Did he say that he had remembered the date wrong? Today is actually a specific Saturday in the third grade and above students who can come to Hogsmeade Village?

Hey? No! Even if the date is right, how can I explain the Quidditch game?

"Hehe, professor, aren't you very surprised?" The two twins came up directly, "I didn't expect that we would appear here, right?! But we didn't expect that Professor, you and Hermione would come out together! Did you come out from the train station or through the secret passage?"

Seeing these two troublesome synonyms coming over, Pei Chen had a little thought and directly generated an invisible force to push the two boys who came up, saying, "Only 'shock', no 'joy', and don't get so close, especially you, George, I don't like men."

The two brothers looked at each other in surprise.

"Professor, can you really tell who we are Fred? Who is George?"

"That's right, we haven't even said who we are yet."

Pei Chen smiled without saying a word and looked at the table. Hermione was biting her lips and looking at him angrily, obviously blaming himself for not keeping her promises. It took so long to come back. He yawned and asked the two again: "Did you run out at this time because the game is over? Who won... Oh, sorry, I'm confused, you obviously came out to buy the celebration stuff!"

Sizzling bee candies, jelly slugs, sour lollipops and cockroach balls are all kinds of novel candy products that have been opened up by some wizards. In the hands of the two brothers, they are bagged, and in addition to them, there are drinks such as butter beer, canyon water and sherry juice soda. Undoubtedly, if they rely solely on their appetite, they should not buy so many things at once.

"That's right." George raised the bag in his hand and found that Pei Chen had no intention of prosecuting them for violating the school rules. He immediately became proud. "Our team won, and Harry caught the Golden Snitch... because it was his first time participating in the battle and he also won. We think it's necessary to celebrate for him..."

"That's right, that's it!" Fred nodded seriously, trying to enhance the persuasiveness of this nonsense reason.

"By the way, professor, what did you buy?" The two of them noticed a woven bag in Pei Chen's hand, which was round and curious.

"This..." Pei Chen also became a little weird. After all, some of the more illegal materials he bought were not available on the market that were normally not available in the storage space. The remaining one now is - "This is a... dragon egg!"

After thinking a little, Pei Chen felt that it seemed that this was nothing big, so he simply exposed the big egg that was judged as a [living thing] and could not be put into the storage space, and showed it to the three of them. However, he was also very cautious and did not release the dragon egg directly in this bar.

"WTF?!" The first time Hermione and the twin brothers were so sympathetic. They looked at the big black egg, stayed for a while, and said something at the same time.

Pei Chen explained: "A guy I met in the Pig Head Bar with a black cloak, maybe it wasn't a good business... He told me that he had some interesting but illegal things on his hands and asked me if I was interested in taking over, so I bought such a dragon egg from him. Well, the dragon egg from Norwegian spine dragon!"

"Professor Lair, I have to remind you with regret that this is illegal... At the Wizards' Conference in 1709, the bill to prohibit the raising of dragons was officially passed, which everyone knows. Dragon eggs are even prohibited from being carried and sold..." Fred said, but he looked full of interest, "So, professor, let's find a way to hatch it and see how it is? We have never raised dragons yet!"

"..." Pei Chen immediately widened his eyes and looked at Fred in surprise. He was really not good at being a good person. If the context and meaning were completely opposite, he could say it naturally as if nothing had happened...

"I haven't raised it either!" Hermione said with some annoyance, biting her lower lip, obviously worried, "In fact, more than 90% of wizards have never raised dragons! Fred! Do you think this is a good note? Do you want Lyle to be discovered and then accused him of illegally raising dragons in the school castle?!"

"Hermione, what's the matter? As long as it's not discovered..."

"George, don't forget how fast the dragon species grows. Lyer, how fast does the Norwegian spine dragon grow?"

"This..." Pei Chen stared at the bag, feeling the vigorous fluctuations of vitality emitted from it, and answered Hermione's question absent-mindedly, "From the day of the shell, it can grow as big as Hagrid's hut in just three weeks..."

“…”

“…”

Damn it’s such a thrilling growth rate!

Even the Weasley twin brothers didn't say anything. Even they knew that a monster that grew so fast was almost impossible to hide in the castle. The difficulty was as high as Hagrid was about to sneak into the castle without being discovered. That body size was already destined to be born to not be an assassin. Do you still think that his stealth skills were god-level?

"Okay, don't think so much. I didn't say I planned to hatch it!" Pei Chen said in a relaxed tone. He just thought that the dragon egg was very stylish, and many of the coins in his hand were useless, so he took over the big egg from the hand of the strange traveling merchant.

"As long as you don't say it, I'll use it to study potions, or sell it directly, why not?" As he said, he stood up and clapped his palms, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back first, but before that, as compensation for your mouth cover fee, I think your celebration party can be held more luxuriously!"

"Long live!"

"Oh! This is so good, I've always wanted to go to the Joko Joke Store to sweep the goods!"

The twin brothers jumped up happily all of a sudden, obviously preparing to kill Pei Chen happily. As for the dragon egg? Sorry, what is it from? Why don’t we remember it?

Pei Chen reached out to pull Hermione up, and the four of them walked out of the bar door. He asked casually: "By the way, how do you go back after you have brought so many things? Will you still go to the secret passage?"

“…”

“…”

Just one sentence, they successfully sank the two brothers. Yes, if they brought too many things, how could they go to the secret passage? It was a corridor built on the underground, not a road towards the sky. Usually they didn't bring anything and wanted to run out, so they had to walk for at least ten minutes. If they brought big bags with them... Merlin blessed, I hope that they could successfully return to school by noon tomorrow.

But if you want to go back openly, please, that's not too sour. Isn't this telling others that they have sneaked out of school? They are not Hermione, and there is no professor to protect them. I think Felch would be happy to put them in lockdown or take out their intestines.

"Okay, it seems you haven't thought about this problem." Pei Chen nodded unexpectedly, and then looked at them one by one, "and it seems that you don't have any space equipment on you, such as the product of the traceless stretching curse, right?"

"Professor..." The two of them looked at Pei Chen with tears in their eyes, and Hermione couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Well, there are only two types of people in this world..." Pei Chen said with a smile. Before he finished speaking, Hermione's eyes lit up and she quickly made an excuse: "People in pain and happy pigs?"

"No, it's people who understand binary and people who don't." Pei Chen denied it, not admitting Hermione's statement at all.

Hermione frowned deeply, thought hard for a while before asking, "Who said this? What does it mean?"

Pei Chen ignored her and said to the twin brothers: "Go and buy things now! I'll help you get them back later! You can just wait for me in the common room in Gryffindor before nine o'clock tonight, I will send them to you!"

"Thank you so much, professor, then you can take back the things we bought before, can you do it?"

Pei Chen was a little funny and nodded, and then the two of them immediately cheered and started shopping in Hogsmeade Village. Although they were saying that they wanted to knock Pei Chen's bamboo pole at first, they were very sensible at this time and would never really have the intention of slaughtering people.
