A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 427: Shop 7

The day before the start of school, the last holiday atmosphere of Christmas has not dissipated, and Diagon Alley is covered with snow everywhere.

This year's Diagon Alley is very different from the past. Most of the shops are hung with Christmas lights gifted by Future World Company. By then, these magic lamps had already been turned on, illuminating a small open space in front of them.

Aric and Keremi came out of the vertical castle, each wearing only a single piece of clothing, 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 witches and wizards on the street with satisfaction. She said with emotion: "In less than half a year, Diagon Alley has changed a lot. Less."

Aric said with empathy: "Indeed... Do you still remember the book signing held at Lihen Bookstore on New Year's Day? Rita Skeeter bought two magic gramophones, and the shadow of the weird sister group has been floating in the bookstore The door until the end. It's like watching a live show..."

Cremy blinked and remembered the scene at that time again. The reporter had the audacity to include the old Black family members in the book, but what was even more dramatic was that she also mentioned the Dark Lord.

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

…that devil-like character has an extraordinary personality charm, this charm is not limited to men and women, even the descendants of ancient and pure pure-blood families are hard to resist, they are willing to bow down at his feet, and kiss devoutly the tops of his feet. The young man in our story is willing to go through fire and water for the slightest chance of having dinner with the ruthless lord, or the gift of kissing the back of his hand...

The young Pureblood will never forget the night the Demon King himself summoned his loyal servant. The demon king's slender fingertips brushed against his cheeks like coal fire, and whispered a whisper that could not be refused: "My believer, I need you... I need you to do something for me..."

Although they didn't call them by their first names, anyone with a little knowledge would guess who the two protagonists in the story were.

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

"No, nothing," said Cramie, blushing.

…

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

This store is next door to a stationery store. The proprietress in the store looked at the two strangers without any doubts about their actions. She also felt that the store next door was very strange

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

Strange, why would a jewelry store be called that? The proprietress thought indignantly, isn't retro style popular now? Could it be a new fashion from Paris?

There is another unreasonable place. On the signboard of this shop, in the lower right corner, there is No. 7 shop written in gold letters, which is too outrageous. Even if the clerk there said that other branches should be located abroad, she was not convinced.

As 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 kid 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 share a small glass of brandy and hear a sad story...

At this time, Felix and Lupine did not realize that they had become the object of others' criticism, and an impromptu conversation between them came to an end

"She is afraid of death now, and just finished the signing, and the Ministry of Magic announced the arrest warrant for Barty Crouch Jr. the next day. Although Fudge refused to admit the existence of Voldemort, it was just a mystery. She is a hard-core believer, and those words of viciousness are enough to make her sleepless, and Sirius has been trying to block her, and her behavior of playing side effects can't convince him."

Felix curled his lips. He had already flipped through Rita Skeeter's new book and felt that he was polluted. He deserved to scare her for a few more days.

He said to Lupine: "Don't talk to her yet."

Lupine showed a puzzled expression just right, "You have to make her wait for nearly two months? She will definitely go crazy." At that time, the second project of the Tournament started, when the gate of Hogwarts It will open, invite some viewers and journalists.

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

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

Felix nodded slightly.

Rita Skeeter was once an illegal Animagus, the word was used because she closed the loophole and registered with the Ministry of Magic, but she was exposed, became a rather unpopular figure.

According to reliable sources, the beetle repellent potion was sold out at that time.

"You want her to do things for you?" Lupine asked in a deep voice, he was very uncomfortable, although he didn't like Rita Skeeter's making up 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 Lupine, knowing what he was thinking. After all, Sirius had said that the reason why he and James were attracted to Lupine was because of his kindness from the bottom of his heart. 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, we didn't do anything."

"Yeah," Lupine whispered with a sigh, "it's because we didn't do anything..."

They walked into this most unusual No. 7 store. There was a long aisle inside, and the left and right rows were exquisite glass counters. , exquisitely shaped gold and silver ornaments, jewelry and jewellery.

From customers to shop assistants are ordinary people.

A young female teller saw Felix and Lupine, her big eyes rolled twice on the former, and then recognized Lupine. Lupine nodded at her, and they went straight down the long hallway, toward the inside, where there was a small, inconspicuous door.

A customer is asking the clerk: "Is this a George IV cigarette case?"

"Ma'am, this is just an imitation, you can take a look at the logo on it." The clerk said with a decent smile, maybe she wanted to show it in front of the boss, her tone was extraordinarily patient and gentle.

"Every piece of our silver products strictly follows the sterling silver marking system. In addition, we have also prepared a reference book for customers to inquire about silver content, origin, date, etc., as well as official identification agencies certified by..."

Felix and Lupine pushed open the small door, and there was a narrow compartment inside. A workbench occupied one-third of the space, and some common crafting tools were placed on the workbench.

"Will we use these things?" Felix asked holding up a pair of tweezers. He actually didn't know how these things were made. Anyway, he could use magic to shape them, especially he could use his thoughts Cabin magic cheat.

"Occasionally, some customers will ask for some minor adjustments." Lupine said: "For the convenience of concealment, we will also purchase silver products from normal channels, and there are special personnel in charge of this matter." He smiled and said: "Actually, this store operates in the same way as other gold and silver jewelry stores, except for the occasional few pieces made by fairies."

"Felix, I must remind you that the company has more than one hundred and twenty employees."

Felix looked into Lupine's eyes, thought for a second and said, "This is exactly what I expected. You should have experienced it recently. Only when a certain scale is reached, it is necessary to divide the labor and brainstorm. , to form a scale effect. And with more people, we can concentrate more efforts to do the same thing and achieve results quickly. Just like this research on projection screens.”

Felix smiled: "I like this feeling, watching them go from strangers to familiarity with each other, through some simple tasks to pass the running-in period, only in this way, when there are really big tasks, they will not be in trouble. In a hurry."

Lu Ping showed a helpless expression, "Don't let the people in the company hear these words, they don't think they have completed a simple task."

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

After coming out of the seventh branch, it was just dark, and Felix and Lupine parted ways. He is satisfied with everything so far, especially his rune book is almost finished, which puts him in a very good mood.

He took a rare stroll on the streets of London, and the people on the street were in a hurry. Before he knew it, he turned to a remote street, and a figure swayed under the dim light.

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

Homeless? Junkie?

Felix moved a little distance away, but unexpectedly this man walked towards him head-on, Felix felt a strong sense of absurdity in his heart ~IndoMTL.com~ Could it be that he was robbed. This kind of thinking made him not choose to leave, but stayed where he was, looking at each other curiously.

The man was so thin that he would be blown down by a gust of wind. He put one hand in his pocket. Felix tilted his head and put a human-shaped iron armor spell on himself, "Do you need to call a doctor for you?" he spoke slowly.

"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 strange smile on his face. Then he left to find his next target.

Looking at the contents of the leaflet, Felix felt unbelievable for a while
