Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

The day before school starts, the last holiday atmosphere of Christmas has not yet dissipated. Diagon Alley is full of wrapped in silver and white.

This year’s Diagon Alley is very different from the past-overwhelming majority store entrances are hung with Christmas lights presented by the "Future World" company. Before the ray of sunlight disappeared, these magic lights were already on, illuminating a small area in front of them.

Arik and Kremy came out of the vertical castle, each of them only wore a single coat, but they were not affected by the cold wind.

Kremy adjusted the knob of the thermostat locket, tucked it into her pocket, and looked at the male witch teacher on the street with satisfaction. She said with emotion: "In less than half a year, Diagon Alley has changed. A lot."

Aric said sympathetically: "Really...Do you remember the signing event held at Flourish & Blotts on New Year's Day? Rita Skeeter bought two magic phonographs, Let the shadow of The Weird Sisters group float at the door of the bookstore until the end. It's like watching a live performance..."

Kremy blinked and remembered the scene again. The reporter was so courageous that she even wrote the old House of Black members in the book, but what is even more exaggerated is that she also mentioned the Dark Lord.

Some of the descriptions in the book make her blush when she thinks of it now:

'…… That Demon King-like character has an extraordinary and refined personality charm, this kind of charm Not limited to men and women, even the descendants of the ancient and pure pure-blood family can hardly resist, willingly bow to his feet and kiss his feet religiously. Even if it is only a slight possibility-to have dinner with this cold demon, or to get the gift of kissing the back of the hand, this youngster in our story is willing to go through water and tread on fire......

The young pure-blood descendants will never forget, that night Demon King personally summoned his loyal servant. Demon King’s slender fingertips brushed his cheeks like a fire like charcoal, murmured lightly and said: "My believer, I need you...I need you to do something for me..."

Although he didn't call his name directly, anyone with a bit of knowledge will guess who the two protagonists in the story are.

"What's the matter with you?" Arik asked, looking at Kramy who blushed suddenly, and looked at her curiously.

"No, nothing," Kremy said blushingly.

...

On a bustling street in central London, two strange men stood in front of a well-decorated shop.

The shop next door is a stationery shop. The Lady Boss in the shop looked at the two strangers and had no doubts about their actions. She herself felt that the shop next door was weird. ——

She lived in London for several decades, but she heard the name of the company "Future World" for the first time a few months ago.

'It's strange, why does a jewelry store call this name? 'Lady Boss thought indignantly,'Isn't the retro style in fashion now? Is it a new fashion from Paris? '

There is another unreasonable place. On the shop’s signboard, in the lower right corner, it was written in gilded letters—'Seventh Store'. It was really outrageous. Even if the clerk there said that other branches should be located abroad, she was not convinced.

While she was thinking, she blatantly looked at the two people at the intersection through the glass window. One was very young, but with a calm expression, and seemed to be a rich boy with a lot of experience? The face of the middle age person next to him is full of stories. If possible, she would be happy to invite him to drink a small glass of brandy together. Hearing a sad past...

At this time, Felix and Lupin didn’t realize that he had become the object of others’ criticism. A temporary dialogue between them came to an end--

"She is now afraid of death. She has just finished signing the sale, but second day The Ministry of Magic announced the arrest warrant of Barty Jr. Crouch. Although Fudge forced her to refuse to admit the existence of Voldemort, the words "you know who hardcore believer, extremely evil" were enough to make her sleepless—— And Sirius has always wanted to stop her at the door, and her act of wiping the ball can't convince him."

Felix twitched his lips, he has turned over the new book by Rita Skeeter, and he feels contaminated. Now, she deserves to let her feel alarmed for a few more days.

He said to Lupin: "Don't pay attention to her yet."

Lupin just showed a puzzled expression, "You want her to wait for nearly two months? She will go crazy. "At that time, it was the time when the second task of the competition began. At that time, the Hogwarts door would open to invite some spectators and reporters.

Felix smiled playfully: "Don't forget that our reporter friend has a special ability."

Lupin's heart trembled suddenly, and quickly asked: "Animagus?"

Felix is ​​slightly nodded.

Rita Skeeter used to be an illegal Animagus. The reason for using the word'once' was because she had already filled in the loopholes and registered with the Ministry of Magic, but she did so. It was exposed and became a rather unpopular character.

According to reliable sources, the potion for removing beetle was sold out during that period.

"Do you want her to do things for you?" Lupin asked in a deep voice, his heart twisted, although he didn't like Rita Skeeter's use of making up things like drinking water Dealing with people as simple as breathing, but he also couldn't convince himself to watch her step into the trap of death.

Felix glanced at Lupin, clear as a flame of his thoughts. After all, Sirius said that the reason why he and James were attracted to Lupin was because of his inner kindness-no one would refuse to have such a friend.

Felix reminded: "You seem to be in some kind of moral dilemma, but the truth is that we did nothing."

"Yes," Lupin sighed softly. Said: "It's because we didn't do anything..."

They walked into this most unusual No. 7 store. Inside is a long aisle, and the left and right rows are refined glass counters. It is decorated with red, black and purple velvet cloth, on which there are a dazzling array of refined gold and silver ornaments, jewelry and jewels.

From the customer to the clerk are ordinary person.

A young female teller saw Felix and Lupin, her big eyes turned twice on the former, and then she recognized Lupin. Lupin was nodded towards her, and they walked straight through the long aisle and walked inside, where there was an inconspicuous little door.

A customer is asking the clerk: "Is this a cigarette pack from the George IV period?"

"Madam, this is just an imitation, you can look at the above Sign." The clerk said with a decent smile, probably because she wanted to show it in front of the Boss. Her tone was extraordinarily patient and gentle.

"Each of our silverware products strictly follow the sterling silver marking system, apart from this, we have also prepared a reference book for customers to inquire about the silver content, origin, date, etc., and The certification of the official appraisal agency..."

Felix and Lupin pushed open the small door. Inside was a narrow compartment. A workbench occupies one third place, and some common productions were placed on the workbench. tool.

"Will we use these things?" Felix asked with a tweezers. He didn't really understand how these things were made. Anyway, he could use magic to shape them, especially if he could Cheat with the magic hut.

“Occasionally, some customers will ask for some minor adjustments.” Lupin said: “In order to facilitate concealment, we will also purchase silver products from normal channels, and a dedicated person is responsible for this. "He smiled and said: "In fact, apart from occasionally a few Goblin works, this store operates in the same way as other gold and silver jewelry stores."

"Felix, I must Remind you, the number of employees in the company has exceeded 120."

Felix looked into Lupin’s eyes and considered for a second: "This is exactly what I expected. You should have I have realized that only when a certain scale is reached, it is necessary to divide the labor and brainstorm to form a scale effect. Moreover, with more people, we can concentrate more efforts to do the same thing and quickly achieve results. Just like this time Research on projection screens."

Felix laughed: "I like this feeling. Watching them go from strange to familiar with each other and pass through some simple tasks through the running-in period. Only in this way, wait until they really have You won’t be in a hurry for big tasks."

Lupin showed a helpless expression, "Don’t let people in the company hear these words. They don’t think they are completing a'simple' task."

p>

"Oh, I was wrong," Felix said perfunctorily: "It's a very difficult task."

I came out of the seventh branch, and just wiped it out, Felix and Lupin separated . He is satisfied with everything so far, especially his Mowen Book is almost finished, which makes him feel very good.

He rarely wandered the streets of London. People on the street hurried, unconsciously, he turned to a remote street, a silhouette swaying under the dim light.

It was a dark-haired man with a pock-like figure, sunken cheeks and eye sockets, and messy hair.

'Hobo? Junkie? '

Felix moved a little away, didn't expect the man walked towards him head-on, a strong sense of absurdity surged in Felix's heart, "It won't be a robbery." 'This kind of thinking made him not choose to leave, but stayed where he was and looked at each other curiously.

The man was so thin that he would be blown down by a gust of wind. He reached into his pocket with one hand, Felix tilted his head and put on a humanoid Shield Charm for himself, "Do I need to call a doctor for you? ?" He said slowly.

"I do need some'medicine'." The man said, licking his yellowed teeth.

He took out a folded flyer and handed it to Felix, with a weird smile on his face. Then he left to find the next target.

Felix looked at the content on the flyer, and felt unimaginable for a while--

'Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in mysterious? There is an unknown field in this world, a world completely different from science.
