It was a dark, cloudy day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Phoenix and Hermione arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, it was deserted, and the crowd was gone, except for Tom, the owner with a wrinkled face and a toothless tooth. As soon as they entered, Tom looked up hopefully.

"Two glasses of butterbeer. Tom happily threw down the rag and got busy.

Philip and Rogge were whispering something in a corner.

"What?" asked Hermione.

"We're fine, but Friedhelm has lymphatic mycitis. Philip said with a frown.

"Is he alright?" said Hermione worriedly, "I've heard that it's very contagious. ”

"He's not contagious now, but he'll have to stay at St. Mungo for a while. Rogge turned to Phoenix, "I've picked some suitable people, do you want to take a look." ”

Rogge pulled out a roll of parchment.

"Now you're the boss, it's up to you. Phoenix took the butterbeer flying, "Last time you wrote that you were going to get an invisible beast, how was it?"

"Because someone has already done this, and now the young invisible beast has become a sought-after commodity. "But my mother and grandfather were very supportive, and if I was lucky, I could get one at Christmas." ”

"I'm not going to be a mermaid, I think-"

"It's nice to be a Billy Wig bug. Phoenix spoke, and Hermione and Rogge laughed.

It was an inch-sized flying insect that would make anyone who had been stung by a Billy Wig bug feel dizzy and then float up and down. Some young wizards are trying to catch the Billy Wigg worm and stimulate it to sting itself in order to get this collateral effect. But once someone is stung by it too much, he will wander uncontrollably in the air for several days, and once he has a severe allergic reaction, he will be permanently wandering. Dried Billy Wigger stings can be used in a variety of agents.

"Of course not, I think the poisonhorn might be better. Marine life is too limited, I can't stay by the sea or lake all the time. Philip analyzed.

"The female mermaid can move on the shore, and she sings nicely—" Hermione said without looking up, checking what they needed to buy.

There was a noise at the door, and everyone turned their heads to look. Two bearded Aurors in black Muggle suits with stern expressions walked in and glanced around vigilantly.

Immediately after that, Harry and the Weasleys walked in, followed by several Aurors.

"Look at the formation. "Philip thought it was fun.

Harry struggled past the Aurors as they walked towards them, and the two Aurors followed him inseparably, staring at them with scrutinizing eyes.

"Hermione, Peverell, how are you?" said Harry, looking upset.

"Okay, let's go. A few people stood up to join them, walking through the cold little courtyard behind which the bins were kept.

Diagon Alley has completely changed. The windows used to display spell books, potion ingredients, and cauldrons, all of which were now invisible, but were obscured by large notices posted by the Ministry of Magic. Most of these intimidating purple notices were enlarged versions of the safety advisories in the pamphlets distributed by the Ministry of Magic during the summer, and some of them featured black-and-white photos of wanted Death Eaters activating in black. Several windows were nailed shut, including Florin Fosco's little ice cream shop. On the other hand, many dilapidated stalls suddenly popped up on both sides of the street. The nearest stall was set up under a stained striped canopy outside the Blotts, with a cardboard sign nailed to it:

Amulet: Effective against werewolves, dementors, and necromancers

A scruffy little wizard peddled a string of silver mascots chained to passers-by and shook them to the ground.

"Run—" shouted from somebody, and the vendors saw their group, packed up their things and disappeared around the corner of the alley.

"I don't think the Aurors would be interested in punishing such illegal operations. Rogge laughed when he saw a vendor tripped and fell to the ground.

They soon separated, with Phoenix intending to go to the Ollivanders Wand Shop alone, while the others split up to the Blotted Bookstore and the Lady Morkin Robe Store.

But Hermione decided it was too dangerous for him to shop alone, so the two broke away from the group and headed towards Ollivanders. On the way, Phoenix noticed that many passers-by had annoyed and anxious looks on their faces, and no one stopped to speak. Buyers are all sticking together in groups and heading straight for what they want to buy, and no one seems to be shopping alone.

"Why go to Ollivanders?" Hermione was puzzled.

"I've had a little trouble with my wand, and I'm going to ask him. Phoenix said briefly.

The shop is almost the same as it was a few years ago, except for the gold-lettered signboard and windows that have been covered by notices. Hermione sat on the only bench, and with a loud clatter, Ollivander stepped out of the back shelf, looking extremely wary, perhaps an illusion that Phoenix felt that Ollivander was judging something.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Peverell Jr. Ollivanders politely said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes, there's a little bit of a problem with my wand. After handing the wand to Ollivanders, he briefly recounted what had happened.

Ollivanders took the wand and examined it over and over again, pressing his fingers firmly on the wand to check for minor bumps and scratches.

"Purple wood, thirteen and a third inches, the tail feathers of the phoenix - very good condition. ”

"I don't deny it," it was true that apart from that accident, it was as good as ever, before and after, "but how do you explain what happened to me?"

"I can only guess that this is extremely rare for you, and I suspect it may be unprecedented. Ollivander said slowly, "The tail feathers of the phoenix are extremely loyal and powerful. However, unlike other wand cores, they are loyal to one master for life, but one thing is only circulated among wand makers, and the phoenix itself has a strong sense of autonomy or independence, even if some powerful wizards can tame them, it is based on an equal footing. ”

Now that I think about it, maybe it was the magical energy that Eden sensed when he did a rough analysis of it before he landed on this planet. He was in the void, and the power of magic was unimaginable in this world. Even so, Eden still has a strong sense of autonomy.

"So, this property is also transferred to feathers?" Phoenix asked tentatively.

Ollivander nodded, speaking in a tone of fascination. (To be continued.) )
