Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 668 Harry Is Fishing



The Pig's Head Bar was completely destroyed in the battle ten years ago, except for the portrait of Aberforth Dumbledore's sister Ariana Dumbledore who was desperately taken away during the retreat, and the signboard that was recovered from the ruins and repaired later. Also, everything in the Hog's Head is new now.

The original two-story building has now become four floors, but the first and second floors have been rebuilt according to the original appearance except for adding a few fireplaces, and the newly added third and fourth floors are built as modern hotel rooms.And every room was connected to electricity, using lights with two mode switches of magic and touch, and connected to Muggle telephone lines and later added fiber optic broadband.

It’s just that after the new Pig’s Head Bar was built on New Year’s Day in 1999, the bar was still rented by the Ministry of Magic as an office location. The rooms that were supposed to be comfortable guest rooms became the offices of various departments of the Ministry of Magic.

When purchasing items for the new Ministry of Magic offices that year, more and more young employees called for computers, printers, copiers, etc. to be added to the purchase list.

For this reason, the Ministry of Magic organized a document processing competition in Hogsmeade. Ten people were evenly divided into two groups to process the same official documents. One group used "Muggle gadgets" and the other group used traditional wizard methods. official documents.

In the beginning, when preparing the hundred Auror health registration forms, the printer made the automatic quill several times faster.In the next series of table-making, the automatic quill was quickly defeated.Then there was the job of counting the salary of the Ministry of Magic last month, and the automatic quill was defeated by excel again.

Finally Scrimgeour finally approved the purchase of a series of modern Muggle office equipment.

Then Hood and Nelson held a computer training class in Hogsmeade, leaving Ryan alone in the coffee shop to get busy.

Harry, who had started his day's work, was opening the office system to check the security reports for July that were reported by the Auror Commands in various places.

One of the contents of the report is that the Aurors caught 7 fake Voldemorts in July. They used the excuse that they needed to purchase materials for the resurrection ceremony when they were about to be resurrected. In return, they occupied the Ministry of Magic and assigned various official positions in return, and then asked people to give him money. .

Harry's head hurts every time he saw such a question.

When Harry first started out as an Auror, he used to catch such crooks himself.

At first he was worried about what if it was true, but later on, he was looking forward to encountering an event where the real Voldemort was about to be resurrected.

After that battle ended ten years ago, almost everyone present knew that Voldemort's body was gone.Although Zhang Xu repeatedly assured that he took Voldemort's body and burned it secretly, there are still many people who don't believe it.For so many years, the gossip that Voldemort is hiding in various places on the earth waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback has never stopped.

"Brian, do I have anything important to attend to today?" Harry asked his secretary beside him.

Brian Braddock has now climbed to the position of Secretary to the Chief Auror Office after years of Auror work.Brian and the other Aurors were also convinced that Harry, who was younger than him, became his boss.Whether it was a student or a formal job, Harry's performance was outstanding.

Brian flipped through the notebook at hand and found that Harry's schedule for today was completely empty.After all, today is Friday. Except for emergencies, no one is willing to arrange too much work the day before the weekend. If they can't finish it, they will have to work overtime.

After learning that he could catch fish today, Harry decided to {REDACTED} go out for a stroll{REDACTED} to carry out surprise inspections in various places.

The first is to inspect the security work in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

This is inspection, not shopping.

"Harry, you're being lazy again."

As soon as Harry came out of the Leaky Cauldron, Hannah Longbottom, the proprietress behind the bar, figured out why he was here.

"Don't talk nonsense." Harry deliberately said to Hannah with a straight face, "Aurors walking on the street are not considered shopping, they are called patrolling."

Then Harry walked to the bar, grabbed Matthew Longbottom's fat face sitting on the bar and rubbed it.

"Has anyone suspicious appeared in the bar recently?" Harry asked Hannah while rubbing Matthew's fat face into a grimace.

"A few crooks came here yesterday to deceive people under the pretext of unfreezing the goblin's assets, and then I called the Aurors." Hannah snatched her son back from Harry's clutches.

"Oh, there are more and more liars recently." Harry sighed.

"Yes." Hannah nodded.

Since the wizards stood in the sun, many problems began to gradually appear.

In the early years, both sides were cautiously approaching each other, and nothing happened at that time.After the two parties had a certain understanding, various cases began to appear.

"I, Voldemort, send money" and "Unfreeze goblin assets" are two of the most popular scams.

After chatting with Hannah for a few words, Harry came to Diagon Alley.

Ten years ago, Diagon Alley, which was depressed for a period of time, regained its throne as the commercial center of the wizarding world in the year when Hogsmeade was destroyed. Now it has become the place where countless ordinary people come to London

Tourist must-see attractions.

With more people, crimes such as petty theft also increased, so the Auror Office has always listed this place as the focus of public security.

Harry had been rarely recognized on the street since he grew his beard, and he had pinned some of his hair back to hide that scar.

Diagon Alley is full of people, and tourists from all over the world purchase all kinds of goods here.

For example, the cosmetics, clothes and snacks endorsed by a mysterious witch who was short-lived ten years ago.After her photo was made public in a TV interview by someone Zhang, many merchants who sensed business opportunities immediately offered olive branches.It's a pity that the witch disappeared after only cooperating with them once, but because of this, the topic of the mysterious her has been circulating among ordinary people for ten years and the popularity has not diminished.However, there was a lot of gossip in those topics, such as gossip that she was actually the secret lover of Zhang who was the first to show her photo.

A patrol of Aurors and policemen passed Harry, and Harry left them alone, following behind to see how they were doing.

Today is a peaceful day, Diagon Alley is full of laughter and laughter, there is nothing that needs to be resolved by the Aurors and the police.

After seeing that the patrols were working smoothly, Harry came to Knockturn Alley.

There are many curious people in this world who are not afraid of death. Many ordinary people flock to the products in Knockturn Alley, and watch the excitement without buying.

The Ministry of Magic had to issue a new rule that dangerous things should be labeled with warning labels.

Harry was very reluctant to come to Knockturn Alley, because there was a shop here that he didn't feel very comfortable every time he saw it.

Whenever he passed the "Lily Flower Potion Store", he would quicken his pace a little.

After the end of the war ten years ago, Snape, the Malfoys, Faranell and other undercover identities were all revealed.It's just that Snape was forgotten intentionally or unintentionally when the merits and deeds were rewarded afterwards.

Moreover, Slughorn, the Potions professor who was rehired by Dumbledore at that time, had made it clear that he would retire completely after the end of the 1998 semester. Not as good as before.Since Slughorn was concurrently the Head of Slytherin House, many people would have thought that the succeeding Potions professor would also be the Head of Slytherin House.

And everyone thought that Snape, who had once held this position, would take up this position again.

But when the opening banquet was held in September, it was Faraniel who sat on the professor's chair.

At that time, this decision shocked Harry and the others who had just graduated, and in the end they stayed in school as an assistant professor of herbal medicine. Neville told the ins and outs of the matter while drinking.

On the one hand, this matter was caused by Snape himself. In the professor's performance appraisal that Percy created back then, Snape passed the make-up exam, so many people opposed him returning to teach at Hogwarts.

On the other hand, Faranell has a background.When Faranell was an undercover agent, he was always a member of Lucius Malfoy's line, so he was supported by the "Wizard Power Party" formed by Lao Ma when he became the Potions professor and the head of Slytherin House. .

Snape, who was unemployed, simply rented a shop in Knockturn Alley to sell potions in the front shop and back factory.

Because of his excellent skills, bright enough signs, and his usual dark pavement and greasy and unkempt image are in line with the first impression of ordinary people on wizards, so his business has been good for so many years.

In order to eat, he had to put away his previous attitude of contempt for ordinary people.However, his cold attitude towards people is unexpectedly popular among certain groups.

Perhaps because there are few wizards with a strong figure like Harry, he was quickly regarded by some as a tourist Muggle.

"Dude, do you want a potion?" A wizard wearing a black hood approached Harry, "I have the potion that the savior Harry Potter liked to drink when he was a student. After you use it, you will be full of energy and dragon essence." Hu Meng. The original price of this potion is [-] pounds a bottle, I think you have this person, I also want to make friends with you, I will sell you a bottle of [-] pounds, and I can give you euros and dollars if you don’t have pounds.”

Harry pretended to be curious and asked, "What kind of potion is it, can I have a look first?"

"No problem." The wizard wearing a black hood took out a beautiful crystal bottle and handed it to Harry.

If Harry guessed correctly, the bottle was wholesaled from Yiwu.Then he opened the bottle cap and took a look, and then took a sniff, and found that what was inside was just water mixed with a little energy potion and petrochemical potion.And such a large bottle of pure energy potion and petrochemical potion normally sells for less than twenty pounds.

"Isn't the accent a local?" Harry returned the potion to the wizard.

"Yeah, I'm German." said the wizard, "you, or I'll be cheaper"

"No wonder you don't know me." After Harry finished speaking, he arrested the Polish wizard who came to sell fake and shoddy goods.

After handing the guy over to the patrolling Aurors, Harry decided to meet Ron for lunch at Weasley's Wizard's Wheezes.
