Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 4: 23 years after January 1st

The summer of this year seemed to come to the end all at once, with autumn leaves falling all over the corners of Diagon Alley. Compared with more than 20 years ago, the changes in Diagon Alley are not obvious. The time of more than 20 years may have been innovations and changes in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of wizards, more than 20 years of The time is not very long.

No. 93, Diagon Alley.

It stands to reason that the storefronts in the Wizarding World usually require years of accumulation of word-of-mouth to survive in wizarding shopping malls like Diagon Alley, but this shop at No. 93 only took 20 years. Time has completed the passenger flow that many shops could not complete in their lifetime.

In the left window of the shop, there are a variety of rotating, twitching, flashing, jumping and screaming products. They are so colorful and gorgeous; on the right of the start-up, there is a huge poster on it. Attached is the autographed portrait of Gildro Lockhart, the most popular international star in recent years.

A series of dazzling yellow characters shined above the shop entrance: Weasley’s Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The shop is full of customers, and most people can't even squeeze into the front of the shelves to observe the new magic products up close. They can only take a few glances from the distance through their black heads. All kinds of cardboard boxes full of goods are stacked from the floor to the ceiling, and inside are all kinds of novel and interesting magic products.

Among them are quick-acting skipping candy that has been very popular among Hogwarts students in recent years: coma candy, fever candy, nosebleed nougat, vomit tablet, fat tongue toffee...

These are all products that are strictly prohibited from being brought into the school by a group of professors, but the professors' ban has not prevented these things from being introduced into the school, on the contrary, they have even slowly opened up through the reputation of Hogwarts Foreign markets are popular in many other European countries. For example, Busbarton will have students come here to buy it. Some savvy people even became second-tier dealers, and after buying things at Weasley’s Witchcraft and Wizardry, they went abroad to sell them at high prices.

On the shelves, there are other products, such as flying skateboards that have the same effect as flying broomsticks, animal biscuits that can transform people, dream glasses that can watch other people’s dreams, and various transformations. Hats, fluorescent lights that replace electric lights, sound candies that imitate other people's sounds...

"Every time I see such a scene, I feel like I am dreaming."

"Fred, please don't repeat this sentence every year when school is about to start, okay? In my impression, this is the 53rd time you have said this sentence."

"Did you say so much? Are you lying to me, George?" Fred touched his head, but to be honest, the magenta robe didn't match his hair, it was too dazzling.

"Of course not." George, wearing a dark blue robe, brushed his wide cuffs a few times. Although he was a twin, his character was more calm than Fred.

"Oh, I must be old." Fred made a miserable expression and sighed bitterly.

"If you get older, then you will definitely grow a long white beard, just like what we looked like after drinking the age-enhancing potion on the goblet of fire in fifth grade." George recalled.

"The same goes for you." Fred smiled and put on George's shoulder.

"At this time of the year, a large number of children will rush into Diagon Alley, because school is about to start at this time." George pointed to the little customers who were still walking in, "Neither Knowing when James and Albus will come, I have prepared the presents to give to them. Lily, the girl, wouldn’t want it. I’m going to give her some velvet wool. Little girls like that, long It’s a little stuff."

"I thought you would mention Ron and Lavender's two children first!" Fred smiled. "If Rose and Hugo knew that their uncle was so partial, they would be sad. I cried out."

"Anyway, they don't recognize who I am, do they?" George grinned, "I'll just say I'm Uncle Fred then."

Fred was silent for a moment, and sighed, "Hey, it would be nice if Wright and Changchu's children were here."

"How long has the guy Wright been back." George hit Fred's arm with his elbow. "That guy refused to let the children grow up in England, saying that we shouldn't contaminate our food. The taste buds of his children, it turned out to be more than ten years away."

"Wright, legend!" Fred praised, "His choice is actually good. Take a look at our'arms' products, you can't even think of those people from the Ministry of Magic who even have iron armor curses. I don’t know how to use it, but it’s wise to stay away from monsters like Wright."

"After all, who can dare to encircle Voldemort in fifth grade like him?" George said, "and take on the main force."

By now, the mysterious man Voldemort has completely disappeared, and most wizards no longer stick to the name of the mysterious man, and begin to call him by his original name.

George said again: "As soon as the Triwizard Tournament was over, everyone thought he had disappeared suddenly, but they didn't expect that he went to trouble with Voldemort, and brought back Pettigrew and--"

"And the news of Voldemort's complete death." Fred added, "Everyone didn't believe it, but then the announcement from the Ministry of Magic let us know that on the night when the Triwizard Tournament ended, Voldemort He was resurrected by Harry’s blood, and then as soon as he was resurrected, Wright and Dumbledore took the Order of the Phoenix to clean up, and there was a large group of Ministry of Magic people there to clean up ~ IndoMTL.com~ also because of that. , Sirius completely got rid of the charges. It was Voldemort——"

"The bones are gone, it's miserable!" George touched his tears pretendingly.

"Come on, Voldemort would never have saved his bones. Dumbledore has explained the reasons many times." Fred said, "He also said that Wright and another mystery gave him a lot of money. With help, I sent several vital props to Hogwarts."

"What will those props be?" George said, "Like an old magic wand?"

"I explained to you fifty-fourth time, I really don't know." Fred said, "Although I spied on Wright many times, he never said, or he just asked me to ask Dumbledore, how dare I!"

"Professor McGonagall--ah, it's Principal McGonagall. She will invite Wright again this year, asking him to come back as a professor of transfiguration." George had to talk about another thing.

"I'm not optimistic," Fred shook his head and said, "Velita Huppel, that girl has served as the school’s Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor, and would not be assured that Wright will return to Huo by herself. Gwarts."

"Well, of our generation, we should be the only ones who are not married yet?" George thought of another thing inexplicably, "Yes, and Hermione, the respected Minister of Magic, is also single."

"I'm not married, it's not that I don't want to get married, but I'm waiting for someone."

"Me too."

At this moment, two adults suddenly walked into the door.

"Look, there are still adults who like our products now! Is that—Angelina?"

"...Who is the little white face next to her?"

"Oops!"

"It's terrible!"
