Chapter 260 Summer vacation is over
Perhaps the news of Voldemort's return was suppressed by Fudge's resignation, which made Voldemort unhappy.
He sent Death Eaters to attack Ollivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley and captured him.
This has also resulted in the young wizards enrolling this year having to buy wands elsewhere.
As the magical world undergoes earth-shaking changes, Hogwarts also undergoes its own changes.
The first is that Snape successfully applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the next few years.
The position of Potions Professor... is held by an old professor who once served as Head of Slytherin.
His name was Horace Slughorn, a bald old man who looked like a big seal.
Lumi learned about this immediately.
After checking his information, Lumi understood what kind of person this new professor was.
Professor Horace loves vanity and has a high pursuit of material things.
He only pays attention to talented students and ignores those who are mediocre.
But because of this, his connections are very wide in the magic world.
He has an eye for talent.
Because of his special care for talented students, he has won the favor of many students. He will not forget this professor after graduation in the future.
And he also enjoyed interacting with the upper echelons of the wizarding world.
After briefly looking at his messages, Lumi stopped paying attention.
In terms of talent, all the three hundred contracted dragons under him are top talents, and any one of them will make him cry.
What's more, Lumi also has a contract, and his own magic talent is also extremely high.
No worries at all about being ignored.
In addition, he had studied potions with Snape for so long, but he had already graduated in potions.
Although there is still a long way to go to learn potions, I have already mastered everything I should learn in school.
So it's not a big problem.
In the month before the start of school, there have been some changes in the magical world.
A new store has opened in Diagon Alley, and it shines with colorful lights, bringing some solace to this dark place.
In the current magical world, Voldemort's Death Eaters are doing evil everywhere and attract people to join the Death Eaters to expand his power.
Such behavior is so overwhelming that even the sky is dark.
The name of the store is Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, and like other stores, it has a moving sign.
However, unlike the large scissors in Madam Malkin's Robe Shop and the knives and forks in Guriel's Magic Cake Shop, the sign here is a model of a laughing man. Although he is huge, he can only take off and put on his hat. But it's easier to attract attention this way.
A magic trick shop with a big head, super attractive to customers.
Especially now that many shops are afraid to open their doors.
The shop owners are the Weasley twins, who borrowed money from Harry to open the shop.
Although they have one year left to graduate, they have no plans to go back.
The purpose of going to school is to graduate and find a job, and the purpose of finding a job is to make money and survive.
Now, they are skipping graduation and finding a job and just opening a store to make money.
Just save several years of detours.
As mentioned before, many stores are afraid to open under Voldemort's influence.
Weasley's shop sells happiness and is the most profitable in times like this.
There was no way they were going to miss this opportunity.
If they wait until they graduate and open a store again, they will lose an extremely large amount of galleons.
In addition, Death Eaters were causing trouble almost every day.
Scrimgeour was not strong enough, so he could only ask the Aurors to bring some fire elves to fight against the Death Eaters.
But they also discovered something.
Death Eaters are stronger than they were fifteen years ago.
They knew a kind of magic to summon demons into battle, and the demons they summoned caused varying degrees of harm to the Aurors.
But fortunately, he brought fire elves, magical animals that can burn everything, to directly burn the Death Eaters and the demons they summoned.
Since the first battle between Aurors and Death Eaters, wizards have discovered that this magic can be countered by the Patronus.
After all, the previous scene of the dragon crushing the demon still lingers in my mind until now.
After all, there are still a small number of Aurors who can use the Patronus Charm. After this period of fighting, the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic have deeply realized the importance of excellent Aurors.
In order to give the public a sense of security, the Death Eaters' affairs were reported every day, which brought a new wave of subscriptions to those newspapers and magazines.
Signing up for a newspaper keeps them from being too out of touch.
After the Daily Prophet was convinced that it had become a newspaper affiliated with the Ministry of Magic, not many people believed in it anymore.
This allows others to get a piece of the cake. How to eat more of the cake depends on their marketing methods.
Lo and behold, Luna was on the Hogwarts Express promoting The Quibbler.
The magazine already belonged to Lumi, but Lumi did not manage it and only handed some of the latest information to Mr. Lovegood.
Lumi would never ask about how to operate it or how to finalize it.
Luna was selling "The Quibbler" from carriage to carriage, and Lumi was not far behind her.
Draco and Hermione were the only ones left in their original carriage.
This stupid couple was doing their own thing in the box, looking very ordinary.
After getting through the initial sweetness and years of quarrels, they are now very familiar with each other, so familiar that they know what he/she wants to do without the other party having to say anything.
An ordinary couple will go through a love period, a dull period, a peak period of quarreling, a peak breakup period, a running-in period and finally a marriage-talking period.
Draco and the others are now in their final stages.
Since they confirmed their relationship in the second grade, they have gone through those periods again and again except for not mentioning their breakup.
Although the peak of the quarrel lasted for several years, it seems that everything was worth it so far.
As for Lumi and Luna, they don't seem to have those messy periods.
They have always been in love.
Even though Lumi has successfully proposed and has already started preparing for next year's engagement party.
But they still love each other every day.
Sometimes they are like an old married couple, and sometimes they are as shy as a young couple they just met.
However, every couple has their own unique way of getting along. As long as they are happy, that is the best.
When the students stepped into the castle again, the new changes also made them feel nervous.
Aurors were checking the little wizard's belongings at the school gate and making sure that no random people got in there.
This is more stringent than the inspection in third grade.
As time passed slowly, after everyone had confirmed, the Aurors also entered the school.
Professor Flitwick cast a guardian spell on the castle's elders, which could effectively protect the safety of the students.
