Chapter 4: Diagon Alley (Part I)

It's mid-August, and Harry Potter has been away from his aunt's house for almost half a month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 For him, this half month may be the happiest time away from school since he entered Hogwarts, but for others, it may not be so happy, especially Holly.

Hurried back to London, Holly had to enter the Ministry of Magic through the public passage without adjusting her condition, which was undoubtedly quite annoying for Holly, but for the sake of the clan rules, she had to control her magic and adjust her mood in order to make herself look more in line with her next identity. Without entering his deputy minister's office, Holly went straight to the conference room, where the people were basically there. As soon as Holly was seated, Cornelius Fudge and Rufus Scrimgeour hurried in, and after taking two breaths, Holly heard Scrimgeour cursing from the side, "Sure enough, let him run away again, every time the tracking magic placed on him always fails, what the hell is going on." ”

"Alright, Rufus, it's not your fault. Blake can escape from Azkaban, there must be something special about him, but for now, as long as we protect Harry Potter, we are not afraid of him taking the bait. Cornelius Fudge comforted after taking a sip of coffee.

"I know, but Blake's failure to get back to Azkaban is always a huge danger, and who of us can guarantee that he won't contact the Death Eaters before him to continue the Dark Lord's business, you know, he even 'betrayed' his family in order to sneak up on the Potters. Scrimgeour said as he slammed on the table.

"That's true, but Cialis Black doesn't look like such a city man by any means. Erinka chimed in, "If he's the Dark Lord's pawn in ambush with Potter, it's more likely that he's been thrown out at the last minute." I believe that the Aurors have already begun to monitor the situation in and around the homes of the various Death Eaters, and I guess there is nothing to gain. After saying that, Erinka didn't forget to look at Lucius Malfoy, and saw that the expression on Malfoy's face did not change, but Fudge's face was slightly embarrassed.

"If that's the case, Minister Fudge and Mr. Scrimgew, the Aurors in charge of this mission should be removed, I don't think Blake escaped to contact the original Death Eaters, and if that was the purpose, I don't think he would have chosen to escape at this time. Holly said lightly, seemingly unhappy with Fudge and Scrimgeur's decision. "And instead of monitoring a large number of former Death Eaters and their families, it would be better to deploy the limited forces around Harry Potter. ”

Hearing Holly's words, the members of the Ministry of Magic Council who were under surveillance agreed one after another.

"Even though Potter has a defensive spell that Dumbledore doesn't know when, we can't pin all our hopes on that old madman. Lucius Malfoy stepped forward and said, but it was difficult to grasp his starting point at this time, whether it was to protect Harry Potter or simply to make some trouble for Fudge and Dumbledore.

When the time came to the end of August, Harry Potter clearly felt that his life was disturbed by external forces, and the relaxed and free life of some time ago seemed to have left him, even if it did not seem to have changed much on the surface. But every time he went to Diagon Alley, the clerks or other people who would greet him warmly were no longer as enthusiastic as before, and some people even pretended not to see when he greeted him to avoid responding. Harry didn't know why, but he was sure that another force had reached into his life and disrupted the rhythm of his life.

But all of this was left behind Harry after he saw the latest broomstick, the Firebolt.

"It's just ...... The trial version is only ......," a serious wizard was telling his friend.

"It's the fastest broom in the world, isn't it? A little boy squeaked and shook his father's arm.

"There are only seven of them even on the Irish League side!" the shopkeeper told the crowd of people in the shop. "And they're the favorites in the World Cup!"

After a tall witch in Harry's way moved, he was finally able to read the note next to the broomstick:

Fire bolts

The broomstick is a work of art, it moves like a flowing stream, it has a very thin handle, but its hardness is comparable to that of a diamond, and it is equally sparkling, and it has the owner's number on it. Anyone who chooses a broomtail will choose the lovely and pneumatically perfect fine birch branches, which give the firebolt an unimaginable sense of balance and high-precision handling. The Firebolt accelerates to 150 mph in 10 seconds and has an anti-splinter magic brake. Prices are negotiable.

After seeing the price negotiation in the back, Harry knew that he couldn't buy a fire-burning crossbow arrow, in fact, after he paid Fred and George's fines for the Weasleys last year, he only had more than 300,000 gold galleons left in his coffers, and he still needed to rely on more than 300,000 galleons to continue living in the wizarding world until he could make his own money to support himself, for this "only" inheritance, Harry still cared a lot about this "only" inheritance.

While he couldn't afford the latest broomsticks, there were many other things that were necessary for Harry. After replenishing all the necessary things, Harry went to Diagon Alley every day to take a look at the firebolts, hoping to bump into some of his school classmates, and it wasn't until the last day that he ran into his buddies, Ron and Hermione.

Holly didn't want to come to Diagon Alley, and as early as the end of July, she arranged for Filly to buy good books and all kinds of medicine and stationery for her, but in all her ends, she still left one behind—Luna, a little crazy little girl who started school and went to second grade, but there was no one to accompany her to Diagon Alley to buy things. So this task was once again thrown to her by Snape...

"It's really good luck to be able to run into them at this time. "I saw the red hair not far away and Harry Potter and Hermione Granger on the side. "Let's go, Luna, we don't have much time today. ”
