Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 668 Harry is fishing

The Hog's Head pub was completely destroyed in the battle ten years ago and turned into ruins, except for the portrait of his sister Ariana Dumbledore that Aberforth Dumbledore desperately took away during the retreat and the portrait that was later picked up from the ruins and repaired. Except for the sign, everything in the current Pig Head Bar is new.

The original two-story building has now become a four-story building. However, in addition to adding a few fireplaces, the first and second floors were rebuilt according to the original appearance. The newly added third and fourth floors were built as modern hotel rooms. Moreover, every room was connected to electricity, using lights with two modes of magic and touch switches, and Muggle telephone lines and fiber optic broadband were added later.

However, after the new Pig's Head Bar was built on New Year's Day in 1999, the bar was still rented by the Ministry of Magic as an office space, and the rooms that were supposed to be comfortable guest rooms became offices for various departments of the Ministry of Magic.

When the new Ministry of Magic offices were purchasing items, more and more young employees called for computers, printers, copiers, etc. to be added to the purchase list.

To this end, the Ministry of Magic organized a document processing competition in Hogsmeade. Ten people were evenly divided into two groups to process the same documents. One group used "Muggle gadgets" and the other group used traditional wizard methods. Official documents.

At the beginning, when preparing a hundred Auror health registration forms, the printer made the automatic quill several times faster. In the next series of table making, the automatic quill quickly failed. Then there was the task of calculating the salary of the Ministry of Magic last month, and the automatic quill was defeated by Excel again.

Finally, Scrimgeour finally approved the purchase of a series of modern Muggle office equipment.

Then Hood and Nelson opened a computer training class in Hogsmeade, leaving Ryan alone in the coffee shop and busy.

Harry was opening his office system as he started his day's work, checking the security reports for July compiled by Auror headquarters in various places.

One of the contents of the report is that in July, Aurors arrested 26 liars who pretended to be Lord Voldemort. On the pretext that they were about to resurrect and needed to buy materials for the resurrection ceremony, they offered various official positions after occupying the Ministry of Magic in return, and then asked people to send him money. .

Harry's head hurt every time he saw such a question.

When Harry first became an Auror, he often caught such liars personally.

At first, he was worried that this might be true, but later, he expected to encounter a real event where Voldemort was preparing to be resurrected.

After the battle ten years ago, almost everyone present knew that Voldemort's body was missing. Although Zhang Xu repeatedly assured that he took Voldemort's body and burned it secretly,

But there are still many people who don’t believe it. Over the years, there have been rumors that Voldemort is hiding in various places on the earth waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

"Brian, do I have anything important to deal with today?" Harry asked his secretary.

After working as an Auror for many years, Brian Braddock now climbed into the position of Secretary to the Head of the Auror Office. Brian and the other Aurors were also convinced that Harry, who was younger than him, had become his superior. Whether he was a student or officially working, Harry's performance was outstanding.

Brian flipped through the notebook at hand and found that Harry's schedule for today was all empty. After all, today is Friday. Unless there is an emergency, no one is willing to arrange too much work on the day before the weekend. If it cannot be completed, it will mean working overtime.

After learning that he could fish today, Harry decided to {delete}go for a walk{/delete} and conduct surprise inspections in various places.

The first is to inspect the security work in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

This is an inspection, not a shopping trip.

"Harry, you're lazy again."

As soon as Harry came out of the Leaky Cauldron, the owner of the bar behind the bar, Hannah Longbottom, discovered the reason for his presence here.

"Don't talk nonsense." Harry deliberately said to Hannah with a straight face, "Auror walking on the street is not shopping, that is patrolling."

Then Harry walked to the bar, caught Matthew Longbottom sitting on the bar and rubbed his fat face.

"Have there been any suspicious people in the bar recently?" Harry asked Hannah while making a grimace on Matthew's fat face.

"Yesterday, a few scammers came here claiming to 'unfreeze goblin assets' to deceive people. Then I called the Auror." Hannah took back her son from Harry's clutches.

"Alas, there are more and more scammers lately." Harry sighed.

"Yeah." Hannah nodded.

Ever since wizards stepped into the sunshine, many problems have gradually emerged.

In the early years, both sides were cautiously approaching each other, and nothing happened at that time. After both parties had a certain understanding, various cases began to appear.

"I, Voldemort, make money" and "unfreezing goblin assets" are two of the most popular scams.

Harry and Hannah chatted for a while and then came to Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley, which had been depressed for a period of time ten years ago, regained its position as the commercial center of the Wizarding World in the year when Hogsmeade was destroyed. Now it has become a must-see attraction for countless ordinary people visiting London. .

With more people, various petty thefts and other crimes have also increased, so the Auror Office has always listed this place as a security focus.

Since growing a beard, Harry was rarely recognized when walking on the street, and he also had some hair fixed to cover the scar.

Diagon Alley is crowded with tourists from all over the world shopping for a variety of goods.

For example, cosmetics, clothes and snacks endorsed by a mysterious witch that was short-lived ten years ago. After her photo was released by Zhang in a TV interview, many businesses who sensed business opportunities immediately extended an olive branch. It's a pity that the witch only cooperated with them once and then disappeared. However, because of this, the topic about her mysterious person has been circulating among ordinary people for ten years without diminishing its popularity. However, those topics were mixed with a lot of gossip, such as the gossip that she was actually Zhang's secret lover who was the first to show her photos.

A patrol consisting of Aurors and policemen passed by Harry. Harry did not disturb them, but followed them to see how they were doing.

Today was a peaceful day, Diagon Alley was full of laughter and laughter, and there was nothing that required the Aurors and police to come forward to solve.

After seeing that the patrols were working smoothly, Harry came to Knockturn Alley.

There is no shortage of curious people in this world who are not afraid of committing suicide. Many ordinary people are eager for the products in Knockturn Alley, not wanting to buy them just to watch the excitement.

The Ministry of Magic had to issue a new rule requiring warning labels on dangerous items.

Harry was very reluctant to come to Knockturn Alley because there was a shop here that made him uncomfortable every time he saw it.

Whenever he passed by the "Lily Potion Shop", he would speed up his pace a little.

After the war ended ten years ago, the identities of Snape, Malfoy and his son, Faranir and other undercover agents were all cleared. But when it came time to reward him for his merits, Snape was forgotten intentionally or unintentionally.

Moreover, Slughorn, the potions professor who was rehired by Dumbledore at the time, had made it clear that he would retire completely after the end of the 1998 semester. After this highly stressful period, he is now physically energetic. Not as good as before. Since Slughorn was also the Head of Slytherin House, many people at the time thought that the Potions Professor who took over would also be the Head of Slytherin House.

Everyone thought that Snape, who had once held this position, would take up this position again.

But when the opening banquet was held in September, the person sitting in the professor's seat was Faranir.

At that time, this decision shocked Harry and others who had just graduated. In the end, he stayed at the school as an assistant professor of Herbology. Neville told the story of the incident while drinking.

On the one hand, Snape committed suicide on his own. In the performance appraisal of professors conducted by Percy, Snape passed the make-up exam, so many people opposed him returning to Hogwarts to teach.

On the other hand, Faranir has a backstage. Faranir had always been on Lucius Malfoy's line when he was an undercover agent, so his appointment as Potions Professor and Dean of Slytherin College was approved by the "Wizard Power Party" formed by Malfoy. support.

The unemployed Snape simply rented a shop in Knockturn Alley and sold potions in a front shop and a back factory.

Because his skills are excellent, his signboard is bright enough, and his consistently dark shop floor and greasy and slovenly image are in line with ordinary people's first impression of wizards, so his business has been pretty good over the years.

In order to eat, he had to put away his previous contempt for ordinary people. However, his cold attitude towards others is unexpectedly popular among certain groups.

Perhaps because there are very few wizards with a strong figure like Harry, he was quickly regarded by some people as a traveling Muggle.

"Brother, do you want a potion?" A wizard wearing a black hood came to Harry, "I have here the potion that the 'Savior' Harry Potter loved to drink when he was a student. You can keep your spirit after using it. A hundred times more powerful. The original price of this potion is fifty pounds a bottle. I think you have this person, and I also want to make friends with you. I will sell you thirty pounds a bottle. Even if you don’t have pounds, you can give euros and dollars. "

Harry pretended to be curious and asked: "What kind of potion is it? Can I see it first?"

"No problem." The wizard wearing a black hood took out a beautiful crystal bottle and handed it to Harry.

If Harry guessed correctly, this bottle was wholesaled from Yiwu. Then he opened the bottle cap and looked at it, then smelled it and found that it was just water mixed with a little energy potion and petrochemical potion. The normal price of such a large bottle of pure energy potion and petrochemical potion is less than twenty pounds.

"The accent doesn't sound like a local, does it?" Harry returned the potion to the wizard.

"Yes, I am German." The wizard said, "Why don't you, how about I make it cheaper?"

"No wonder you don't know me." After Harry said this, he arrested the Polish wizard who came to his door to sell fake and shoddy goods.

After handing the guy over to the patrolling Auror, Harry decided to have lunch with Ron at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Remember the website address of this website, www. Biquxu. Com for easy reading next time, or enter " " in Baidu to enter this site
