It was noon, and the air was like a heat wave.

On a wide street in London, there are quite a few customers lined with shops.

On this lively street, there is a shop that catches the eye.

It's an old-fashioned red-brick department store from the 19th century, and it's out of place compared to the modern shops around it.

The shop, oddly named Taotao Co., Ltd., looks shabby and deserted, with a few cracked dummies in the windows, wearing wigs and postures in a garment from at least a decade ago, which even a British hillbilly wouldn't wear.

On the dusty gate hangs a large sign that reads "Closed for Renovation".

A tall woman with a large bag walked by, and she looked at the abandoned house inside, and said to her companion, "This place has been like this for decades, and I remember seeing it when I was a child." ”

"Then no one has taken over this shop, isn't there quite a lot of people on this street?" said her companion with some pity.

The tall woman said, "Who knows, I've heard of people wanting to rent this shop, but then they gave up, probably because the owner of this shop has too much money to spend." ”

I saw a big boy with a unique temperament walking from the opposite side and turning straight towards this department store.

The tall woman reminded: "Hey, this store is closed, if you go to the supermarket and go ahead, there is a Carrefour there." ”

The older boy smiled and nodded.

After walking a few steps, the tall woman turned and looked back, only to find that the attractive boy had disappeared from the crowd.

......

Harry walked to the window and was in front of a particularly ugly female dummy, with false eyelashes falling off, wearing a green nylon dress.

Behind Harry, the streets were bustling with people and cars.

In the dirty shop window, the dummy seemed to feel something, as if his head was about to be broken, he clicked it and waved his hand, which was a little weird.

Harry walked straight into the transparent glass, and his body vanished through the glass.

Inside the window is still a shabby dummy.

In the bustling crowd, no one had the time to glance at such an ugly window as Taotao, and no one noticed that a big living person had just evaporated in front of them like air.

Harry felt like he was walking through a layer of cool water through the glass, but it was still warm and dry.

The ugly dummies, the scattered shelves, the dimly lit shops were gone, and Harry was in a slightly crowded waiting room.

This is the famous St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry in the wizarding world, Harry has heard of it for a long time, but this is the first time he has been there in person.

Rows of witches and wizards sat on rickety wooden chairs, some looking normal, reading an outdated issue of Witch Weekly, while others were horribly deformed, with elephant trunks or extra hands on their chests.

In this hospital, the noise was louder than the Muggle streets. Because there are many patients who make very strange noises.

In the middle of the front row, a sweaty witch fanned a copy of the Daily Prophet, constantly screeching and spitting steam.

A scruffy wizard in the corner would ring like a bell when he leaned his body, and his head swayed from side to side with each ring, and he had to put his hand on his ear and hold his head in place.

A young wizard screamed and jumped up and down, as if stepping on hot coals and dancing at a brisk: "Ahhh......h Oh...... Feet, he must have put some kind of spell on his shoes, I can't take them off!"

With tears in his eyes, he said, "Merlin~~ I have to put a chili pepper spell on his underwear to give him a salute." ”

Every patient in the hospital was very peculiar, full of conditions that Muggles could not have imagined.

A few wizards and wizards in green magic robes walked around the ranks of the sick, asking questions about the situation and taking notes on a clipboard.

Harry noticed the badge embroidered on their chests: a wand and a cross of bones.

In the wizarding world and in magical hospitals, Muggles refer to "doctor" as a dejorative term.

Wizards refer to sorcerers who can heal diseases as "healers."

Because wizards believed that "doctors" needed to cut people open with knives to see a doctor, they were simply a bunch of crazy people, but they were still very respected by Muggles.

It is no wonder that they look down on Muggles even more, because Muggle diseases seem to them to be cured by a single spell and a potion.

What to cut legs, cut arms, and even drill holes in the door of the brain, are unnecessary, these crazy "doctors" are more terrifying than some evil wizards.

A chubby blonde witch sits at a table marked "Inquiry", and the wall behind her is plastered with notices and labels such as, Clean Crucible to prevent potions from turning into poison, antidotes not to be used indiscriminately, and approved by a qualified healer.

There is also a large portrait of a witch with long silver hair hanging down on the wall.

Textual Notes:

Dalyse Derwente

St. Mungo's healer (1722~1741)

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (1741~1768)

Harry thought for a moment and remembered that he had seen the portrait of the witch in Dumbledore's office.

Dalyse is helping the blonde fat witch with help, asking about the situation of the wizard who sees the doctor, and giving the accurate results.

The patients then followed the signs for the location of the departments of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic on the side.

The sign reads:

Artifacts Division....................................... Ground floor

(Wax Collapse Explosion, Wand Misfire, Broom Collision, etc.)

Biological Traumatology ....................................... Second floor

(bites, burns, punctures, etc.)

Infection of Miracle Bacteria.............................. Third floor

(Infectious diseases such as dragon pox, disappearance, lymphatic mycitis, etc.)

Pharmacy and Plant Poisoning Section..................... Fourth floor

(rash, nausea, laughing, etc.)

Spell Damage Section ................................. Fifth floor

(Spells that can't be removed, spells that are used incorrectly, etc.)

Tea room and shop ................................. Sixth floor

If you don't know which department to go to, can't speak normally, or can't remember why you're here, ask the receptionist.

An old wizard with a flared hearing aid slowly rubbed in front of him, "I'm coming to see Broderick Bode!" he said with an asthmatic voice.

"Forty-nine, but I'm afraid you're wasting your time," replied the fat witch casually.

"He's completely confused, and thinks he's a teapot. ”

Dalis noticed Harry in the crowd, and it was obvious to her surprised gaze that she recognized Harry.

She winked at Harry, then she turned and walked out of the frame.

Don't think about it, you must have gone to the minister's office.

Harry stepped inside, stepping over the line.

"Whew. A gray shadow mixed with a strong wind came from behind Harry.

Harry turned, reached out and held the ...... The ankle of a little girl.

White calves, looking up, were a little girl looking down at Harry.

The little girl was looking at Harry curiously.

Harry was worried about being mistaken for a strange uncle, so he quickly let go of his hand.

"Ahh

The body suddenly floated upward.

Harry grabbed the little girl's feet again.

On the back of the little girl's jumpsuit, a pair of huge white feathered wings grew, and the gray shadow that had just almost slapped Harry was the pair of wings.

The wings seemed to be out of the little girl's control, and kept flapping, making the little girl float up.

A tired-looking wizard squeezed over and grabbed the little girl by the neck.

"Thank you, thank you. The wizard thanked Harry and looked worriedly at the fan above the girl's head.

As soon as the crowd came, he held his daughter, fearing that he would hurt her foot, so he let go of his hand.

Luckily, Harry held her back.

He walked up to the fat witch and said, "My family has some things of unknown origin, and today my daughter didn't know what to open, and suddenly she grew a pair of wings. ”

The witch took one look and said, "Ancient Spell, Fifth Floor." ”

The man hurriedly walked out of the double door next to his daughter with his daughter, as if holding a peculiar balloon.

Harry was going to ask her what room the Longbottoms were in.

Because though he has some pictures of Lily, James, and Longbottom and his wife are in the pictures.

But it was a picture of them when they were younger, and Harry believed that they were no longer recognizable by this time.

However, when Harry subconsciously enveloped the entire hospital, he saw a very familiar and unexpected person - Neville.

Naturally, he knew where the person he was looking for was.
