The process of finding a house was not smooth.

Because Lin An's estimation was wrong-

Rent in the London metropolitan area is simply too expensive.

Even an ordinary apartment with a large number of people at a distance from the central city can rent close to £300 a month.

How much is £300?

Let's put it this way, one pound can buy about 60 pounds of potatoes, or 30 pounds of flour.

It is precisely because of this terrifying purchasing power that Lin An feels that writing for magazines and tabloids is really a high salary!

It can be seen that knowledge is money!

It can also be seen that no matter which era, country, time and space...... City BD are expensive.

Not to mention Westminster, where the security is relatively better, costs 1,000 pounds for a bedroom and a living room, and Lin An's heart is broken.

She naturally could afford this money - after all, there were still six or seven months left before the summer vacation, and she should be able to earn it.

But, after living in Slytherin's dormitory, it was really difficult to make a living from luxury-

She couldn't afford a £300 London City Apartment.

The shabby and dirty walls, the rusty and yellowed faucets, the colorful paint splashes in the room...... There are also all kinds of strange smudges.

Staying at this hotel on Christmas to save money, she has realized that her magic is not enough to comfortably transform her room into a comfortable and comfortable appearance every day.

Including soundproofing, cleaning, air conditioning, heating, etc.

The kind of corridor with thirty or fifty rooms on both sides, addicts on the left, and rock 'n' roll late at night on the right...... It's all commonplace.

Her vicissitudes of middle-aged and elderly work and rest can't stand it!

And Westminster, which has high-quality bachelor apartments with a rent of 1,000 pounds, most of them are bachelor apartments with better privacy and more security - but Lin An can't guarantee that he won't make a big noise when he practices magic.

Therefore, they prefer to live in a detached house – at least without worrying about affecting other people.

After a day's delay, she brought in Hank, a foreign helper.

Lin An sighed, and had to set his sights on a suburban house like Hank's.

But Hank has a different opinion: "If you can make more money, I mean, if." Try not to live in the country - you know, Linan, you're not good enough to be a superstar these days."

It is not very safe for a single, young, beautiful girl with even the harmless qualities of the Oriental to live in the middle of nowhere.

"In addition, the delivery time here is 2~3 days slower than that in the city, and there is no pizza burger that can be delivered at any time with a phone call."

"Finally, since you're only renting for a short time during the summer vacation, I guess this kind of whole building is generally not rented for that short time."

Compared to Lin'an, Hank is a down-to-earth local investigator.

All right.

The last reason convinced Lin An.

She sighed wistfully.

Hank couldn't help but suggest, "Are you really not considering moving into my house? For £100 I can share a room with you. And I'll convince my mom to prepare three meals for you!"

If Lin An was an ordinary girl, she would be moved by this proposal.

But...... Or for that reason, who knows what kind of magic movement she will make?

….

Therefore, I can only refuse it painfully.

But there's really nothing more cost-effective.

Hank couldn't figure out why she had to live alone, so he racked his brains: "If you don't mind the environment and don't want to compromise on the layout, there are some places in the lower areas...... It's not that I can't think about it."

The distribution of homes in England today is interesting.

There are some medium-sized residential communities with obvious good security and good environmental maintenance, such as the small Huijin district where Harry lives.

There are also inferior areas surrounded by stinky ditches, rotten garbage, and industrial pollution.

The houses in the lower districts are not necessarily worse, but the security and external environment are ......

I can't bear to look at it.

Can be safeguarded......

For Lin An, it needs to be considered, but it is not the first consideration.

She thought for a moment, "If I were to live in a medium-sized neighborhood like this, how much would the rent cost?"

It wasn't within Hank's reach, so he called a friend and found out: "It's only an hour's drive from the city of London, and it's larger, the smallest house costs £800 a month, but the minimum rent is three months."

Lin An can't afford this money.

She believes that she will be able to save such a sum of money by waiting for the summer vacation, but accommodation is one thing, and she can't spend her entire budget on it, right?

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "What about the inferior area?"

"Inferior District......" Hank scrambling to check the map, "There are many options, but it's close to the record store you mentioned (in fact, Lin An is talking about the leaky cauldron bar next door)...... That's another town next to Little Whitkin, called Cockworth."

"Rent here is cheap, as low as £15, but I don't recommend it—"

He hula-la-la-rummaged through the notes he had collected in advance, and at this moment he drew a circle on the map with precision:

[In view of the general environment,

"Why don't you go see here? Halfway between Little Whinging and Cokworth, there are a lot of short-term rentals because of the high turnover of people. Law and order are ...... Yes, a single home costs about £300."

The only fly in the ointment is that there is a big chimney and a stinky ditch.

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief.

How so? London as a whole isn't much better! The sky is dull all day long, and seeing the sun is like seeing your own mother.

What's more, now that it's a good time, if you want to get up, you naturally want to go to the magic world!

She breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up the map again, and looked at the places where Hank had circled—

"It's better to be closer to Little Huijin, where I have a friend."

Because of the "magic of love", Harry couldn't leave his aunt's house for long, but ...... It should be no problem to come and play all day during the day.

Not to mention......

It's closer to a medium-sized neighborhood like Little Whine, if ...... Did Lin An say that if Draco was willing to come over, maybe he wouldn't be too worried about her situation?

Hank nodded, and began to lie on the map again—

"If it's close to the small Huijin area...... Over here! Spider Lane in Cokworth, sorry I haven't been, but I asked—the alley is connected to Little Whinging—ah, I remember! I've communicated their complaint letters! It is said that it is associated with the lower districts, and everyone is very reluctant."

Lin An also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's stay here for the time being!" Got time? Now go and see?"

It's still the Christmas holidays, and Hank, a single dog, is naturally duty-bound for a trusting and touching pound (crossed out) - friendship.

It's just that......

Lin An thought for a while - Spider Alley...... Sounds familiar!
