Snakes at Hogwarts

Hyena Bill never thought that a thief would dare to hit him in the head.

As the only gang leader in this neighborhood, he has been ruling his own territory in a bloody and violent way.

In a place like London, where land is at a premium, it is not easy to occupy a piece of land.

Yes, even if it's a slum that the dignitaries don't even care about, it's still a piece of territory, isn't it?

厽厼.Especially the garbage dump not far from this neighborhood, which was the basis of his fortune.

Don’t think that these garbage are worthless. Whether they are precious metals, scrapped appliances, or electronic components, these gadgets that are often subconsciously ignored by people in life are actually expensive.

Most scrapped household appliances actually only need simple repairs and can continue to be used, because most of the electrical parts inside are not damaged.

Taking a step back, even if those electronic components can no longer be used, the precious metals themselves still have a huge market.

As for this geomantic treasure land that continues to create wealth for himself, even though it has become developed, Hyena Bill still values ​​it more than anything else.

Any scavengers who dare to break into this place will have only one fate as long as they are caught by him and his men.

He was torn apart alive by the local dogs that Bill kept in captivity.

Since he established this territory, countless scavengers have lost their lives in this way.

Of course, Bill is not a fool.

He was once a grassroots who humbled himself into the soil.

This made him deeply understand one thing. For those homeless people who could barely survive, they would die anyway. What would such people be afraid of?

Especially during a cold winter like this, those guys will do anything to stay alive.

They can no longer be called human beings. They are just as beasts as the ferocious native dogs they keep in captivity.

Therefore, he has never really killed all the scavengers who ventured into the garbage dump.

In fact, unless he was so unlucky that he was caught on the spot by Bill's men, Bill would not bother to care about those scavengers who could never be rid of like cockroaches.

The most valuable garbage had long been picked out by his men and guarded closely.

For other junk, it’s no big deal to throw it away.

It’s just garbage anyway, so there’s no shame in throwing some away.

But this time, Hyena Bill couldn't stand it anymore.

damn it!

That damn thief went too far!

Why didn't he just vacate this place?

Thinking of this, Hyena Bill felt endless anger rushing through his blood to his chest.

"Trash! A loser! There are so many people who can't even guard a bigger place!" His roar resounded over the garbage dump.

Qishu.com suyingwang.net Xixi. "Boss Bill, you really can't blame the brothers." One of his subordinates said tremblingly.

"Brothers really dare not relax for a moment about the things ordered by the boss, but those things seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Yes, our patrol team has not slackened off at all, and there is only a maximum of 15 minutes between the two waves of manpower." Another subordinate followed closely and explained.

"But none of the people patrolling that night noticed anything unusual. If we hadn't counted the inventory during the day, we wouldn't have even discovered that there were so many things missing from the warehouse."

"Then what happened later? Didn't you search it carefully? I don't believe he can do it so cleanly!"

"How could we not search, boss? The brothers searched every corner of the garbage dump. Can you believe it? Even the barbed wire fences are still intact. We still don't know how the thief got in. .”

"Yes, boss, we almost turned the garbage dump upside down. We even caught a few scavengers for this, but they were just guys who wanted to try their luck here, not the thief's accomplices."

No trace left at all?

Who could have done this?

Those scavengers?

It doesn't feel like it. They have never been so courageous. Even if they want to steal things, they have only dared to go to the outermost garbage dumps.

Could it be one of our own?

Thinking of this, Hyena Bill looked at his men with a stern expression.

It's not like they knew about this in advance from the expressions on their faces.

"Send all your men out to all the waste recycling stations in London. Didn't he take away a large amount of valuable waste? I want to find out whether the stolen things have appeared there. Understand?"

Bill secretly swore in his heart that he would find out the thief who dared to touch the tiger's butt and make him pay with blood.

What a joke!

Did he think that after stealing his own things, he could walk around as if nothing happened?

"Also, take all the homeless people you caught and feed them to the dogs, and then hang the bodies outside the garbage dump."

"I want the untouchables living here to understand that I, the hyena Bill, am still the boss of this neighborhood."

....

................................................................. .....................

Just when Hyena Bill was losing his temper at his men, on a vast white plain, a scarlet train was traveling straight forward along the railway track.

The roar of steam and the click of rails and wheels became the only sounds in this rarely visited land.

"Aqiu~" Looking out at the endless plains through the window, Andros rubbed his nose gently.

He just sneezed without warning.

"What's wrong, Ender, do you have a cold?" Pansy asked with concern from the side.

Perhaps the gift he gave her suited her well. Andros could clearly feel the change in Pansy after boarding the train back to school.

Especially when she saw Andros wearing the silver brooch he gave her on his chest, the smile lines on the girl's face became even more obvious.

"No, I guess someone was cursing me."

Calculating the time, Hyena Bill should have discovered that a large amount of valuable items were missing from the garbage dump.

Hey hey, what would he do even if he found out?

Could he still lead his men across half of the UK to cause trouble for him?

Going to Hogwarts to find trouble with a wizard?

This is simply impossible,

This feeling of taking advantage and running away made Andros feel quite happy.厽厼

What a pity. If he had more time, he asked himself, he could have taken away more things.

Even the refrigerator, which was much taller than me, was only the size of a mineral water bottle under the effect of the shrinking spell.

For those Muggles, they probably couldn't imagine how they took away so many things in such a short period of time.

Magic changes lives, this sentence is not just said out of thin air.

"What are you thinking about, Ender."

Looking at Andros, who couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, Draco came over curiously.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things. I got a good harvest this Christmas."

Not only was the harvest good, it was simply making a lot of money.

The pounds Andros plundered from Bill's gang lair alone were enough to cover his expenses for several semesters.

Don't always think that the pound is not the currency.

No matter how despised this currency is in the wizarding world, Gringotts has also opened the business of exchanging pounds for gold galleons.

Before the start of the next semester, he can also go to Gringotts to exchange for the gold galleons he can exchange every year.

You know, flies are still meat when they are young!

Even if he could only exchange for forty gold Galleons each year, coupled with Hogwarts' poverty allowance, that would be enough for his basic expenses in the wizarding world.

Hyena Bill will probably never understand that he has clearly stored his money in a safe, and only he knows the password to open it.

But why does the money inside still disappear without anyone noticing?

Is the thief's lockpicking skills really that good?

He must not have imagined that, to a wizard, any box without anti-lock spells, magic alarms and magic traps would be the same as paper.

In the face of the opening of Alajo, is there still such a thing as a safe?

Are you kidding me, do you know what the lockpicking spell was called centuries ago, friend of thieves!

This spell originated in Africa. In the seventeenth century, a wizard thief named Eldon Esrickel brought this spell to England.

Since there was no spell in the British wizarding world at that time that could counter the Lockpicking Curse, Esrikel went on a rampage of mischief.

Whether it was a Muggle house or a wizard's house, he robbed them all and accumulated a considerable fortune in a very short period of time.

Suffice it to say, he might be able to open your door faster than you can.

What's even more deadly is that this spell is so simple that even a child who has just entered school can easily master it after practicing it several times.

Its appearance once made wizard theft very rampant.

If it hadn't been for the fact that a British wizard finally invented the Anti-Alajo Opening Curse not long after, and the culprit of all this, Esrikel, was also detained by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.

So, it is no exaggeration to say that perhaps the Opening of Alajo is expected to become the fourth Unforgivable Curse that is strictly prohibited from being used by wizards by the Ministry of Magic.

"Sometimes I really envy you Ender. You can live freely outside. Do you know how miserable Christmas is for us?" Zabini's words brought Andros back from his inner world. Reality.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the three little snakes around him all had droopy faces, as if they were about to spit out acid at him.

"How miserable are you guys?" Andros asked.

"You know, from after Christmas until yesterday, we basically had to go to at least one aristocratic party every day! We had to go every day!" Zabini put on an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

"Brian is right. Can you imagine how boring these banquets are and seeing those familiar faces day after day?" Tianlaixsw.com Xixi Novel

Sorry, I can't imagine.

Hearing Draco's complaints, Andros rolled his eyes inwardly.

He was just an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. How could he imagine what it felt like?

Alas, maybe this is the trouble of children from rich families.

"Why are you so busy all of a sudden? I remember you said before that you might go to Diagon Alley."

"Forget it, it all happened because of one thing. You know, on Christmas night, there was a country called the Soviet Union in the far east. It completely ceased to exist overnight on Christmas night. "

"Even the Ministry of Magic of the Soviet Union suffered an unprecedented political purge overnight. They seem to have changed their name to a new name, it seems to be Russia~Russia..."

"Russia?"

"Yes, it's Russia!" Draco patted his thigh hard.

"How did you know that, Ender?"

Nonsense, of course I know this period of history. The disintegration of the Soviet Union will occur on Christmas Day in 1991. This is historical common sense that elementary school students should know.

"The news was also reported in the Muggle newspapers." Andros shrugged lightly.

But, does all this have anything to do with the British wizarding world?

"But I don't understand, what does the collapse of the Soviet Union have to do with us? I mean, does it have anything to do with the British magical world?" Thinking of this, Andros continued to ask.

"Merlin knows! To be honest, my thoughts are the same as yours. That country is so far away from us, and its existence has nothing to do with us. I really don't know why my father and those adults discuss this every day!"

Well, it seems that nothing can be asked from Draco's mouth.

Thinking of this, Andros turned his attention to Zabini and Pansy. He felt that these two people who were more mature than Draco would have different opinions.

"Actually, it doesn't have much impact. The main reason is that the impact of this incident is too great." Pansy explained in a low voice.

"And you may not know that just a few months ago, Barty Crouch, the director of the International Department of Magic, just negotiated a trade deal with the International Department of Magic for the import of rare magic materials."

"It has only been a short time since that place ceased to exist. Now, before everything settles, the prices of magic materials that are not produced in the UK and potions made from these materials will probably soon It will skyrocket, just like the price of dragon liver went up three times a day not long ago.”

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us." Zabini began to change the topic.

"Let's talk about something else. I just heard a few days ago that there is also a magic school with a very long history in Russia. It seems to be called Kodos Doriz."

"Yes, I've also heard that the principal of that school has been removed because he was dissatisfied with the new regime. I really hope that Dumbledore can be fired by the school's board of directors one day."

"Okay, Draco, don't say these words again after we go to school, or Dumbledore will overhear and try to put on your shoes."

"Tch, I'm not afraid of him!"

A certain little dragon raised his head and looked out the window with a proud look on his face.
