The day before school started, the last holiday atmosphere of Christmas had not yet dissipated, and Diagon Alley was covered in silver everywhere.

This year’s Diagon Alley is very different from the past. Most of the store’s doors are hung with Christmas lights presented by Future World’s company. During this period, in the evening, when the last rays of sunlight on the horizon have not disappeared, these The magic lamp was already on, illuminating a small open space in front of him.

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

Kremy adjusted the **** of the thermostatic locket, stuffed it into her pocket, and looked at the wizards and wizards on the street with satisfaction. She said with emotion: "In less than half a year, Diagon Alley has changed a lot."

Arik said empathetically: "Really...remember the signing event held at Lihen Bookstore on New Year's Day? Rita Skeeter bought two magic phonographs, and the shadow of the strange sister group floated at the door of the bookstore until the end. . It's like watching a live performance..."

Kramy blinked, then remembered the scene again. The reporter was so courageous that he even wrote the ancient Black family members in the book, but what is even more exaggerated is that she also mentioned the Dark Lord.

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

...The demon-like character possesses an extraordinary personality charm. This charm is not limited to men and women. Even the descendants of an ancient and pure pure-blood family can hardly resist. He willingly bows to his feet and kisses his feet religiously. . Even if it’s just a hint of the possibility of having dinner with this cruel demon, or getting the gift of kissing the back of his hand, the young man in our story is willing to go through fire and water...

The young pure-blood descendants will never forget that the demon king personally summoned his loyal servant that night. The Demon King’s slender fingertips brushed his cheeks like charcoal fire, and he whispered an irresistible whisper: "My believer, I need you...I need you to do something for me..."

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

"What's the matter with you?" Arik looked 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.

There is a stationery shop next door to this shop. The lady boss in the shop looked at the two strangers and didn't have the slightest doubt about their behavior. She herself felt that the shop next door was weird.

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

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

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

While thinking about it, 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-aged man 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 did not realize that they had become the object of criticism by others, and a casual dialogue between them came to an end.

"She is now afraid of death. She just finished the signing and the next day the Ministry of Magic announced the wanted order for Batty Crouch Jr. Although Fudge suppressed and refused to admit the existence of Voldemort, she was only a mysterious believer. , The vicious words are enough to make her sleepless and Sirius has always wanted to stop her at the door, her behavior of wiping the ball can't convince him."

Felix curled his lips. He had already read Rita Skeeter's new book, feeling that he was contaminated, and he deserved to make her more worried and frightened for a few days.

He said to Lupin, "Just leave her alone."

Lupin just right showed a puzzled expression, "You are going to make her wait for nearly two months? She will definitely go crazy." That was the time when the second event of the Tournament began, and then the Hogwarts gate would open. , Invite some viewers and reporters.

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

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

Felix nodded slightly.

Rita Skeet used to be an illegal Animagus. The reason she used the word once was because she had already closed the loophole and registered with the Ministry of Magic, but she also exposed it and became quite Unpopular characters.

According to reliable sources, the beetle-killing potion sold out during that time.

"Do you want her to do things for you?" Lupin asked in a deep voice, his heart twisted, although he didn't like to deal with people like Rita Skeet who think of making things as simple as drinking water and breathing. , But he also couldn't convince himself to watch her step into the trap of death.

Felix glanced at Lupin, knowing what he was thinking. After all, Sirius had said that the reason why he and James were attracted to Lupin was because of his inner kindness and 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 said softly with a sigh, "because we didn't do anything..."

They walked into this most unusual No. 7 shop. The interior was a long aisle, and the left and right rows were exquisite glass counters. The counters were decorated with red, black and purple velvet cloth, and they were decorated with a dazzling array of exquisite shapes. Gold and silver ornaments, jewelry and jewellery.

From customers to clerk are ordinary people.

A young female teller saw Felix and Lupin, her big eyes turned twice on the former, and then she recognized Lupin. Lupin nodded at her, and they walked straight through the long aisle, towards the 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 logo on it." 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 comply with the sterling silver marking system. In addition, we have also prepared a reference book for customers to inquire about the silver content, origin, date, etc., as well as 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 of the space, and some common crafting tools were placed on the workbench.

"Will we use these things?" Felix asked with a tweezers. He actually didn't know how these things were made. Anyway, he can use magic to shape, especially he can cheat with Mind House magic. .

"Occasionally, some customers will ask for some minor adjustments." Lu Ping said: "For convenience and concealment, we will also purchase silver products from normal channels. A special person is responsible for this." He smiled and said : "In fact, apart from occasionally a few pieces made by fairies, this shop operates in the same way as other gold and silver jewelry shops."

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

Felix looked at Lupin’s eyes and considered for a second: “This is exactly what I expected. You should have experienced it recently. Only when you reach a certain scale, it is necessary to divide the labor into a clear division, brainstorm and form a scale. The effect. And with more people, we can concentrate more on doing the same thing and make quick results. Just like this time on the projection screen."

Felix smiled: "I like this feeling. Watching them go from strange to familiar with each other, through some simple tasks through the running-in period, only in this way, when there is a real big task, you will not be in a hurry."

Lu Ping showed a helpless expression, "Don't let the people in the company hear these words, they don't feel that what they have accomplished is a simple task."

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

After coming out of the seventh branch, 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 were in a hurry. Unknowingly, he turned to a remote street with a figure swaying under the dim light.

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

tramp? Junkie?

Felix moved a little away, but he didn't expect the man to walk towards him head-on, and Felix felt a strong sense of absurdity~www.readwn.com~ It might have been 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 cast a humanoid iron curse on himself, "Need a doctor for you?" He slowly Say.

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

He took out a folded leaflet 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 it was weird for a while
