NOVEL WEB Drinking 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 to a wizard walking in front of him in a low and hoarse voice from behind.
These days, wizards dressed like this are not uncommon in Diagon Alley.
"Ah, what the hell is that?"
The sorcerer who was accosted turned his head and looked at the other person with caring eyes for the mentally retarded, and then accelerated his pace to avoid it.The situation is weird now, maybe those wizards who look abnormal will kill themselves in the next second.
And the wizard who hid his whole body didn't show any abnormality, but turned his attention to the few other wizards in Diagon Alley.
Now Diagon Alley has fallen into an unprecedented depression. Most of the shops have been closed, and many of them have been empty inside. Looking in from the window, there are only empty shelves and counters inside. .
The shops are closed, and the customers naturally don't come.
Since Voldemort's high-profile appearance last year, Diagon Alley's business has been declining day by day.In addition to purchasing the necessities of life, the wizards reduced their consumption needs in order to save their lives.As a result, Diagon Alley, which is the commercial center of the whole of the UK, is on the street.
Not every store sells goods that are as suitable for Owl Delivery as those in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, such as Florin's Soda, as well as Ella's Owl Shop and Wonder Zoo.Sending ice cream with an owl is barely feasible, but sending owls and other pets with an owl is more difficult.
Not long ago, after the Ministry of Magic transferred to Hogsmeade, the merchants in Diagon Alley saw that something was wrong, so they closed their business for two or three days to see the direction of the wind.
At this time, the staff of the Ministry of Magic approached the bosses of each family and suggested that they go north together to contribute to the great cause.
When the bosses first knew they were going to move to Hogsmeade, they actually refused, because they thought, you can't tell me to move right away.First, let's think about it, and we don't want to say, who knows how long you can last in Hogsmeade, if you are finished before Halloween, the mysterious people will definitely scold us by then, and you will do your best It proves that your conscience is greatly damaged.We said let us think about it first, and later we found that they were reliable, and they didn't take too much advantage of the mysterious person. After half a month, at least we couldn't see that they were going to end .
After the news spread that Hogsmeade repelled two Death Eaters' attacks and killed Karkaroff, merchants in Diagon Alley were already excited.
After the news of the zombies among the Death Eaters spread, rumors about the mysterious man ordering his subordinates to arrest men in Diagon Alley every one, three, five, women every two, four, and six, and children to become zombies on Sundays spread throughout the British wizarding world. open.
In just two days, this rumor has become abuzz, and at the same time, it has become more and more logical and self-consistent in the process of evolution.
In the end, even Voldemort believed these rumors, and even asked about it during the daily work meeting, which made the somewhat absent-minded Snape look confused.
And the instigator of this rumor was dreaming of slime in bed at this time.
Only in this way, the merchants in Diagon Alley will be empty.
And let the diagonal
The bosses in the alley made up their minds to move north because of the dark wizards from Knockturn Alley.
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 work as housekeepers, and they would naturally run to Knockturn Alley.For a while, there were so many dark wizards in Diagon Alley that even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic didn't dare to take care of them.Now that the boss they defected to gained power, they became even more unscrupulous.
"I don't need money to eat out at the Leaky Cauldron, let alone some ice cream from you."
Then Florin Fusco, the owner of the Florin Cold Drink Shop, who had just argued with the dark wizard, was captured by the Death Eaters.
This incident became the spark that ignited the fuse, and other merchants who died of rabbits and foxes packed up the goods in the store overnight and went north to Hogsmeade.
When Malfoy, the pseudo-Minister of Magic who was notified, arrived the next morning, there were only a few shops in Diagon Alley that were open except Gringotts with Death Eaters behind them.
It is said that the old horse's face was extremely ugly at that time.
Before 1752, the general lease agreement of businessmen who leased shops in the UK stipulated that the traditional rent payment dates were four times a year, namely March 3, June 25, September 6 and December 24.The International Statute of Secrecy was signed into effect in 9, so these days have been preserved in the British wizarding world, and they have become days for paying rent and taxes.
Now the funds of the Pseudo-Magic Ministry can be said to be stretched. A large number of taxpayers ran away when there was still a month before the tax collection. The old horse was not so angry that he died on the spot, which is considered to be a strong heart.
At this time, the wizard walking in Diagon Alley who hid himself under his robe and hood thought of this incident, and remembered the old horse's face blacker than the bottom of the pot at that time, and couldn't help laughing. sound.
Ollivander's wand shop has now closed and moved north. The place where the signboard "Ollivander: Making excellent wands since 380 BC" is now empty, and a thin layer has fallen on the door frame. of dust.
The wand shop of the Ollivander family, which has now temporarily moved to Hogsmeade, is run by Ollivander Jr., the son of Ollivander.
Old Ollivander disappeared last year, and everyone can figure out who took him with their toes.Old Ollivander is an extremely important talent. The Ministry of Magic has been trying every means to rescue him, but he has not been able to find the place where he was held, and there is no news. It can be said that no one is alive or dead.
The one who was looking for someone to connect with in Diagon Alley had nothing to do with this. After the Majiazhuang was burned, he didn't know where Voldemort and the others went to settle down now.
"But did he dance for the dresser or the candlestick?"
Not far from the former site of Ollivander's wand shop, another wizard who also hid himself under his robe and hood answered the other's signal in a high-pitched voice.
"I'm selling some of these Coogit tapestry. Would you like to buy one?"
"Yes, I want to buy one, do you have blue ones?"
"Yes, it is as blue as the blue and clean world."
"Then let me see tomorrow night."
The two wizards separated after chatting like friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and then disappeared into the fireplace in the Gringotts hall one after another.
