Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 500 Quiet Diagon Alley

"The wardrobe dances at midnight."

In Diagon Alley, a wizard who covered himself in a black robe and hood suddenly spoke from behind in a low and hoarse voice to a wizard walking in front of him.

In recent times, wizards dressed like this are not uncommon in Diagon Alley.

"Ah, what nonsense is that?"

The wizard who was accosted turned around and looked at the other person with caring eyes, then quickened his pace to avoid it. The current situation is strange, and maybe those wizards who seem abnormal will kill themselves in the next second.

The wizard who hid his whole body did not show any abnormality, but turned his attention to the few other wizards in Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley is now in an unprecedented depression. Most of the shops have been closed, and many of them have been empty. Looking through the windows, there are only empty shelves and counters left. .

The shops are closed, and customers naturally stop coming.

Since Voldemort's high-profile appearance last year, business in Diagon Alley has been getting worse day by day. In addition to purchasing daily necessities, wizards have reduced their consumption needs in order to save their lives. As a result, Diagon Alley, the commercial center of the UK, fell into disrepair.

Not all shops sell items that are as suitable for Owl Delivery as those at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, such as Florin's Soda Shop, Easy Owl Shop and the Magical Menagerie. It's still possible to send ice cream with an owl, but it's difficult to send owls and other pets with an owl.

After the Ministry of Magic moved into Hogsmeade not long ago, the businesses in Diagon Alley realized that something was wrong, so they closed their businesses for two or three days to see which direction the situation would turn.

At this time, the staff of the Ministry of Magic found the bosses of each company and suggested that they go north together to work together for a great cause.

When the bosses first learned that they were going to move to Hogsmeade, they actually refused because they felt that you can't just ask me to move right away. First, we have to think about it. We don’t want to talk about it. Who knows how long you can last in Hogsmeade? If you are finished before Halloween, the mysterious person will definitely scold us by then. You are seeking death. Yes, it proves that your conscience is greatly damaged. We said they would give it some thought first, and later we found out that they were reliable and did not give the mysterious man too many advantages. They stayed there for half a month. After this half month, at least we couldn’t see that they were going to finish. .

After the news spread that Hogsmeade repelled two Death Eater attacks and killed Karkaroff, the merchants in Diagon Alley were already excited.

After the news about the appearance of zombies among the Death Eaters spread, rumors spread throughout the British wizarding world about the mysterious man ordering his men to arrest men in Diagon Alley on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, women on Tuesdays and Sundays, and children on Sundays to make zombies. Come on.

In just two days, this rumor has become a hot topic, and at the same time it has become more and more logical and consistent in the process of evolution.

In the end, even Voldemort believed these rumors and specifically asked about it during the daily work meeting, leaving Snape, who was somewhat absent-minded, confused.

The originator of this rumor was currently dreaming about slime in bed.

But as a result, the businesses in Diagon Alley were deserted.

It was the dark wizards from Knockturn Alley who made the bosses in Diagon Alley decide to move north.

Since the beginning of this year, more and more dark wizards have defected to Voldemort. Naturally, these dark wizards did not come to the UK to be stayers. They would naturally run to Knockturn Alley. For a time, the number of dark wizards in Diagon Alley was so large that even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic did not dare to deal with it. Now that the boss they defected to has gained power, they are even more unscrupulous.

"I can eat at the Leaky Cauldron for free, let alone eat a few of your ice creams."

Then Florin Fusco, the owner of Florin's Cold Drink Shop, who had just had a dispute with the dark wizard, was captured by the Death Eaters.

This incident became the spark that lit the fuse,

The other merchants were so sad that they packed up the goods in their stores overnight and headed north to Hogsmeade.

When the pseudo-Minister of Magic Malfoy arrived the next morning after being notified, the only ones open in Diagon Alley except Gringotts were a few shops with Death Eaters covering their backs.

It is said that Lao Ma looked extremely ugly at that time.

Before 1752, the general lease of British merchants who rented shops stipulated that the traditional rent payment dates were four times a year, namely March 25, June 24, September 29 and December 25. The "International Statute of Secrecy" was signed into effect in 1689, so these days have been preserved in the British wizarding world and have become days for paying rent and taxes.

Nowadays, the funds of the pseudo-Ministry of Magic are stretched thin. A large number of large taxpayers ran away when there was still one month left to collect taxes. It was because Lao Ma was not so angry that he died on the spot that he had a strong heart.

At this time, the wizard who was walking in Diagon Alley and hiding himself under his robe and hood thought of this incident. He remembered what others had said about Lao Ma's face that was darker than the bottom of a pot, and couldn't help laughing. The sound comes.

Ollivander's wand shop has now closed and moved north. The place where the sign that once hung "Ollivander: Crafting fine wands since 382 BC" is now empty, and a piece of wood has fallen on the door frame. Thin layer of dust.

The Ollivander family wand shop, which has now been temporarily moved to Hogsmeade, is run by little Ollivander, Ollivander's son.

Old Ollivander disappeared last year, and everyone can guess who captured him with their toes. Old Ollivander is an extremely important talent. The Ministry of Magic has been trying every means to rescue him, but they have never been able to find the place where he was imprisoned, and there is no news. It can be said that there is no trace of his body alive or dead.

The person currently looking for someone to connect with in Diagon Alley had no idea about this. After Majiazhuang was burned, he didn't know where Voldemort and the others had gone to settle down.

"But did he dance for the dresser or the candlestick?"

Not far from the old site of Ollivander's Wand Shop, another wizard who also hid himself under his robe and hood answered the other party's code in a high-pitched voice.

"I'm selling these Kugit tapestries. Would you like to buy one?"

"Yes, I want to buy one. Do you have a blue one?"

"Yes, it is as blue as the blue and pure world."

"Then let me take a look tomorrow night."

The two wizards chatted for a few words like friends they hadn't seen for a long time, then separated, and then disappeared into the fireplace of Gringotts Hall.
