Chapter 95: Hermione Loses Every Time She Gambles

Halloween Eve is here.

In the early morning, in the Hufflepuff common room, you can smell the tempting smell of roasted pumpkin.

Although the aroma is very strong, the little wizards still hold back and resolutely refuse to go to the kitchen to get breakfast.

Now that they are full, what will they eat in Hogsmeade later?

Students like Justin, who have never been to Hogsmeade, have been listening to McMillan bragging all day long, and their expectations have been full.

He didn't even have dinner yesterday, deliberately saving his stomach, just waiting to start working today.

The laziest little badgers on weekdays also arrived at the hall early for the first time, which surprised the students of other colleges and made them think they got up late.

Filch came soon. He stood at the door, holding a long piece of parchment and checking the student list.

Those little wizards who didn't sign the application form or signed it on their own, but wanted to pass it off as real, would be caught by his ruthless iron hand.

Therefore, Shirley is in danger now... At least that's what Hermione thinks, especially when she holds Shirley's application form and stares at the crooked handwriting, she feels even more dangerous.

Hermione tilted her head and looked at Rolf and said, "What the hell are you signing? Elementary school handwriting? Filch will definitely find out about you!"

"If he finds out, he'll find out." Rolf shrugged and said indifferently, "At most, he will report to Professor Flitwick, deduct points from Ravenclaw, and then put Shirley in detention."

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "You make it sound so easy, anyway, it's not Hufflepuff's points that are deducted, nor is it your detention."

She turned her head to look at the ponytail girl and said anxiously, "Shirley, he must be deliberately tricking you."

Hermione has been tricked by Rolf many times, and she is full of justice, and she is very worried that Shirley will repeat the same mistake.

"Hey, who is cheating... Don't slander honest people." Rolf said with a smile: "How about this, Hermione, let's make a bet. I bet Filch will definitely not find any problems." "If I lose, I will ask Professor Flitwick to bear all the punishment, and I will pay for your consumption in Hogsmeade today. If you lose, you will pay for my consumption... How about it?" Hermione narrowed her eyes and thought carefully. Rolf struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade: "Betting, Hermione! If I win, Shirley can go to Hogsmeade, and you will be very happy. If I lose, you can also make a lot of money from me, and I will bear the punishment, and you will still be happy... From this point of view, you will not lose whether you win or lose." Hermione exclaimed softly, and Rolf's words seemed to make sense. Shirley saw that she was a little tempted and advised her against it: "Hermione, don't bet with him..."

Before she finished her words, Rolf gently held her ponytail. He gave her a silent look and said with a smile: "Shirley, don't say anything... You have to be fair and just."

The ponytail girl said "oh", quietly stuck out her tongue, or quietly winked at Hermione, asking her not to agree.

Hermione silently weighed the pros and cons, and while thinking seriously, she saw Filch caught a few students. Probably thinking that Rolf was sure to lose, she nodded and said:

"It's agreed in advance that you are not allowed to use magic such as the Confusion Charm."

"Whoever uses it is a puppy." Rolf agreed.

Soon, Filch came over, and Rolf handed over his application form, and he didn't even look at it, and handed it back to the boy.

Rolf handed over Shirley's application form, and Filch also just glanced at it and returned it.

Hermione was confused. Just now, when Filch looked at other people's application forms, he wanted to use a magnifying glass to compare them. Why was he so lax here?

Rolf's next move shocked Hermione even more. He took the application form and pointed at the signature and said:

"Mr. Filch, are you sure you don't want to look at it again? Some people say that this signature looks like a child's handwriting and I signed it for someone else... Can you take another look?"

"Nonsense!" Filch waved his hand and said, "I looked very carefully and it was not signed for someone else! Okay, I'm going to check the next person."

"..." Hermione was stunned. Can it be like this? This must be a fake Filch.

"How did you do it?" Hermione frowned.

"Not long ago, someone robbed Filch's office." Rolf explained in a low voice: "I saved him at that time."

Rolf has been treating Mrs. Norris for free, and his relationship with Filch was already good.

After saving Filch last time, his attitude became very enthusiastic. Of course, he turned a blind eye to such a small matter as signing for someone else.

Hermione was upset. She swore that this was the last time she would bet with Rolf.

She swore!

Shirley comforted Hermione, while Rolf looked at Neville, who also looked very nervous.

"What's wrong with you, Neville?"

"Hannah asked me to meet her in Hogsmeade." Neville said distressedly, "I don't know where to go with her."

"Sure, it has come to this." Rolf patted Neville on the shoulder and smiled, "I'll teach you."

He began to impart his dating experience, and Neville took a quill and wrote down the content.

"Don't go to the Shrieking Shack. There is only a shabby house there, and it is not haunted at all.

You can take Hannah to the Haunted House No. 8. There are many real ghosts working part-time there, and the environment is also very scary and depressing.

At that time, Hannah will definitely be scared to hug you."

Neville stopped writing and frowned and said, "Is the Haunted House No. 8 really scary?"

Rolf couldn't help but hold his forehead. If the two of them really went to the haunted house, Neville might have been scared and hugged Hannah.

"After leaving the haunted house, you can go to Madam Puddifoot's teahouse. There are couples there, and the atmosphere is quite ambiguous..." Rolf lowered his voice and said:

"Under the stimulation of perfume and hormones, everyone is more impulsive and can do things that they dare not do normally."

Neville was more interested in this. He asked curiously: "Rolf, have you been to Madam Puddifoot's teahouse?"

"No." Rolf shook his head.

"Why not?"

"I have severe autism and don't like to go to crowded places like this." Rolf said softly.

"..."

Rolf really doesn't like to go to crowded places. He prefers less crowded places, such as... hotels.

With only two people, his autism will not occur.

As Filch checked the application form, the students all got on the Thestrals and drove towards Hogsmeade.

The Thestrals were very fast and soon arrived at Hogsmeade.

At this time, the village has been completely renovated, with huge pumpkins and upside-down bats hanging in every shop.

Many ghosts also appeared in Hogsmeade, and the streets were full of pearly transparent figures.

"Where should we go first?" Hermione asked listlessly.

"Let's go to Honeydukes first." Rolf smiled and said, "Let's finish breakfast first."

Rolf, Shirley and Hermione walked along the road towards Honeydukes.

But unexpectedly, Honeydukes, which has always been very popular, was now deserted, with almost no students.
