Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Hagrid looked fine, at least not bruised.

"Very well, he has learned to be polite, and his temper is not as grumpy as before, thanks to you..." Hagrid said, and hugged Ivan tightly again, "But I haven't found a new female giant to fight with His company."

"Look slowly, you can always find it." Ivan said.

Men with stories tend to be popular, even giants.

"Hagrid, we didn't expect the security guard to be you." Harry rubbed his ribs and smiled.

"I know, it's just like the old days, isn't it? You see, the Ministry of Magic wanted to send a group of Aurors, but Dumbledore said I would do it." Hagrid said triumphantly, puffing out his chest and putting Putting two thumbs into the pocket, "Okay, let's go in. You go first, Molly, Arthur..."

They walked into the Leaky Cauldron, and for the first time it looked so deserted and empty.

The lively crowds of the past are gone, leaving only the wrinkled, toothless owner Tom.

As soon as they entered, Tom looked up hopefully, but before he could speak, Hagrid said solemnly, "Just passing by today, Tom, you must understand, it's Hogwarts business, you know."

Tom nodded sullenly and went on polishing his glass.

Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Hagrid and the Weasley family walked through the bar and came to the small, cold yard behind where the trash cans were placed.Hagrid raised the pink umbrella in his hand and tapped on a brick in the wall, and there was an instant a doorway leading to a winding cobbled path.

They stepped through the doorway, stopped and looked around.

Diagon Alley had changed, as they had been hearing all along.

Spellbooks, potion ingredients, and cauldrons used to be displayed in the window, all colorful and colorful, but now they can't be seen, but are tightly covered by large notices posted by the Ministry of Magic.Most of these forbidding purple notices were amplified versions of the safety advice in the pamphlets that the Ministry of Magic circulated over the summer.

Among them, there are also black-and-white photos of wanted Death Eaters printed on some notices.

Aiwen is very clear that in the past few months, the number of such wanted people has increased.

This shows that the number of Death Eaters is increasing, and many dark wizards have joined Voldemort's army, even including a certain number of foreign wizards. They worship Voldemort, regard Britain as the main battlefield of the war, and regard the upcoming war as a A jihad is coming from all over the world.

At the current speed, it won't be long before the entire Diagon Alley will be covered with wanted posters.

As they moved forward, they could clearly see the boarded-up windows of several shops, including Florin Fusco's Ice Cream Parlor.

On the other hand, many dilapidated stalls suddenly appeared on both sides of the street.

The nearest stall to them, tucked under a stained striped awning outside Lihen Bookstore, had a cardboard sign nailed to it: Talisman, effective protection against werewolves, dementors, and inferi.

A scruffy little wizard was selling a bunch of silver charms on chains to passers-by, rattling them.

"Ma'am, buy one for your little girl?" he called to Mrs. Weasley as they passed, casting a lewd look at Ginny. "Protect her pretty neck?"

"If I was on duty..." said Mr. Weasley, glaring at the amulet seller.

"Yeah, but you don't want to be catching people now, dear, we're short on time," said Mrs. Weasley, looking anxiously at a list. "I think we'd better go to Mrs. Malkin first." Robe store, everyone needs to buy new clothes, they are growing too fast, well, let's go."

Chapter 1253 An Interesting New Semester

"Molly, it's not appropriate for us to go to Mrs. Malkin's robe store." Mr. Weasley said, "It's better to let the children go with Hagrid, and the two of us can go to Lihen Bookstore to buy everyone's textbooks." , okay?"

"I don't know what to do." Mrs. Weasley said troubledly. It was obvious that she wanted to finish the shopping quickly, but also hoped that everyone would not be separated. It was really a dilemma. "Hagrid, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, they'll have no problem following me, Molly." Hagrid reassured, waving his palm as big as a trash can lid smartly, "It won't be a problem at all."

"Okay, then we'll find you at Madam Malkin's robe store after we've bought the books." Mrs. Weasley said, "Harry, Irwin, Hermione, give me the list of books you will buy next semester..."

She didn't seem completely relieved, but she let everyone separate, and hurried to Lihen Bookstore with her husband, while Ivan, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Hagrid went to Madam Malkin's Robe Store .

Along the way, they felt more and more the current tense atmosphere in Diagon Alley. Many passers-by had the same troubled and anxious look on their faces as Mrs. Weasley. Crowds stick together and go straight to what they want to buy, no one seems to be shopping alone.

There were no other customers at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop as they passed.

Ivan, Harry, and Ron chose ordinary black school uniform robes for boys. Mrs. Malkin quickly cut them according to their body shapes. Hermione and Ginny spent a lot of time choosing the style of women's robes. There are quite a few of them, and the two of them still have special requirements on color and tailoring.

Harry and Ron were a little impatient, so they went out and waited, while Ivan was asked to stay and give advice.

To be honest, he couldn't see the difference between lifting the cuffs up a little bit and not lifting them, and...

In his view, these changes are actually more or less the same.

But Hermione and Ginny were unexpectedly stubborn on this issue, trying and trying in front of the mirror.

"Evan, what do you think?" Hermione asked, "Do you need to pull up the sleeves a little bit? Also, should I choose this black or dark green robe? Well, this dark blue robe seems to be the same." good……"

"Then buy them all, and you can change them." Ivan gave his opinion.

Just then there was a loud commotion outside, and he heard Hagrid shouting.

Ivan hurried out and saw Harry and Ron confronting Draco Malfoy.

The three pointed their wands at each other, and Hagrid was trying to stop them.

Also, there was Narcissa Malfoy standing behind Draco.

She looked haughty, much like her older sister Bellatrix, albeit with fairer skin.

"Get out of the way, big fool, and you two, put away your wands," she said coldly to Harry and Ron, "if you try to do anything to my son again, I'll lock you up again. "

"Really?" Harry didn't flinch, he took a step forward, "What are you going to do, you want to find some Death Eaters to kill us, don't you?"

"Don't say such things, Harry," said Hagrid, waving his hands vigorously. "You two bastards, get out of here."

Malfoy and his mother had to take a step back to avoid Hagrid's thugs.

"Just be proud, Harry Potter, I can see that you mistakenly think that you are safe as Dumbledore's favorite student, but Dumbledore will not always be by your side to protect you, you..."

"He's not here at the moment!" said Harry, turning his wand to Narcissa. "Then why don't you try? Maybe they'll find you a double cell in Azkaban with your failed husband." Together!"

"How dare you talk to my mother like that, Potter!" Malfoy growled viciously.

He pressed towards Harry angrily, but was stopped by Hagrid, ignoring the wand in his hand, and was picked up easily.

Hagrid shook Malfoy casually, as if he weighed nothing.

"I've said enough, Malfoy, stop here, if you want to make trouble..."

"Put down my son." Narcissa snapped, pulling out her wand with pale and slender fingers.

Harry also raised his wand higher, and all the pedestrians in the surrounding streets quickly dodged.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Mojin, who had just walked out of the shop, screamed and grabbed her chest.

If it weren't for Ivan, Hermione and Ginny to intervene, they would definitely have really fought.

"what happened?"

"Don't be impulsive, Harry, Ron, put down your wand and think about it, don't use magic, you two will cause big trouble." Hermione said, and Ginny went to stop Harry.

Ivan walked up to Hagrid and asked him to put Malfoy down.

Malfoy was put on the ground, and he looked at Ivan and the others, his face becoming even paler.

"Hmph, as if you dare to cast magic here." Narcissa said, holding her son's shoulders hard, her body was trembling, and glanced at everyone contemptuously, "Let's go, Draco, I am now I finally know which social dregs buy clothes here, and we can buy better ones at the Tuofan clothing store."

Malfoy gave Harry a hard look, and left quickly with her mother.

"The Malfoys are still so annoying, but don't worry about them." Hagrid said not too mindfully, as if he didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about, "In Diagon Alley, they don't dare to act rashly, don't worry about it." Worry."

"You shouldn't have provoked them," Hermione warned.

"Come on, we didn't take the initiative. I can't believe that Malfoy and his mother dare to show up in Diagon Alley at this time." Ron said, "How many Death Eaters are there?" ..."

"They're not Death Eaters." Hermione paused, then added, "At least, there's no evidence that they are."

"I daresay Malfoy must know something, their family is an important figure in that group."

"Well, he's a Death Eater like his father now," Harry agreed.

Are the Malfoys important?

As the oldest and wealthiest pure-blood wizarding family, the answer is obvious.

But if Voldemort did make Draco a Death Eater, it would not be a reward, but a punishment.

I don't know if he will ask Malfoy to assassinate Dumbledore like in the original book...

Ivan never doubted the ability of those elite Death Eaters, this kind of task was too difficult for Malfoy.

While many things have changed, this mission will most likely remain the same.Voldemort was a master at manipulating people's hearts, if not to punish Lucius Malfoy for his repeated failures, but to test Dumbledore by sending his students to kill him.

What would Lucius of Azkaban think after knowing this?

One thing is certain, Malfoy's assassination will never succeed this time, there is no chance at all.But Ivan thinks the next semester will be more interesting, the secret of the Half-Blood Prince, the return of Slughorn, Malfoy's lame assassination, and the treasure of the four founders who are about to be cracked...

Chapter 1254 Fred and George's Shop

Harry had a peculiar paranoia about Malfoy, thinking that Malfoy must know something.

Even, he felt that Malfoy also joined Voldemort's army and became a Death Eater.

There's no reason or basis for this suspicion, but that's what Harry thinks, and he suggests investigating Malfoy, using Polyjuice Potion to turn into Goyle and Crabbe like before, mixing in Slytherin Go to the common room to collect information, or use the invisibility cloak...

"We need to find out what Voldemort is up to. He must know," said Harry. "That's important."

"You're too sensitive, Harry. Malfoy is just a student, so Voldemort won't tell him important information." Hermione said disapprovingly, not quite agreeing with Harry's thoughts.

Harry shook his head. In his opinion, Hermione was too naive.

The Malfoy family are all Death Eaters, and the people they deal with are also Death Eaters, so he doesn't know anything?

Harry hadn't had time to convince Hermione when the Weasleys appeared, and the two of them hurried over, each carrying a large schoolbag full of textbooks that everyone would use in the new term.

"Is everyone all right?" said Mrs. Weasley. "The robes? Well, we're on our way to Fred and George's shop, stopping by the pharmacy and the Eiley Owl, let's go... ..."

Fred and George's shop is deep in Diagon Alley, near Knockturn Alley.

Because it was close to Knockturn Alley, wizards were reluctant to come here, and the rent of shops nearby was always very cheap.

Especially at this time, the price is even lower than expected.

Fred and George originally planned to rent a shop, but after inquiring about the price, they decided to use the money they saved in the past few years and Ivan's sponsorship to buy this shop, [-] Diagon Alley.

The two brothers remodeled this unremarkable shop according to their own ideas. The fronts of the surrounding shops were dim and buried by notices, while the windows of their shop attracted people's attention like a fireworks display.

Attracted by the cheerful music, ordinary passers-by couldn't help turning their heads to look at the shop.

There were also a few people who seemed particularly shocked, and even stopped in their tracks, looking obsessed.

After all, it's like a playground.

A huge hot air balloon floated above the store with a banner, on which was the name of Weasley's Joke Store, which could be clearly seen even from a distance. No store on Diagon Alley had advertised in this way .

Under the hot air balloon, a huge doll with the image of twins is located in the middle of the store, constantly taking off and taking off their hats.

It uses an exaggerated tone and loudly speaks welcome words to attract people passing by.

Conspicuous, too conspicuous, no one can ignore this shop.

The former landmark of Diagon Alley was Gringotts, but now it is replaced by Fred and George's shop.

When you get closer, you can see that the window on the left side of the shop is colorful, with all kinds of rotating, twitching, flashing, jumping and screaming products, so the colors are too exciting, just looking at it, tears welled up .

The window on the right was covered with a huge poster, also purple like those of the Ministry of Magic, but printed in big bright yellow letters:

Why are you worried about You-Know-Who?

You should care about constipation ren!

The feeling of constipation afflicts the Chinese people!

"My God!" Mrs. Weasley moaned feebly.

She stared at the poster dumbfounded, her lips moved silently, and silently recited the words: Constipation Ren.

"They'll be murdered in their beds!" she whispered.

"No way!" Ron laughed, "This is simply wonderful!"

"I think it's great, too," said Harry.

"Fred and George's humor." Ivan asked, "What is Constipation Kernel? Their new product?"

"That's right, they have a lot of merchandise or commercials that make fun of Voldemort, aside from constipation." Hermione said seriously. She has been helping Fred and George manage commercials and knows that they have produced something. Told them to be careful, but they both thought it was funny..."

"But it's funny, you're so nervous, Hermione."

"They shouldn't be making fun of You-Know-Who, these two boys!" said Mr. Weasley resignedly.

Ivan and the others followed Harry and Ron into the shop, which was full of customers.

The students who had come to Diagon Alley to buy back-to-school supplies were all gathered here, crowded in front of the shelves, pulling out their pocket money to buy Fred and George's joke merchandise.
