Ashes of Hogwarts

"So, is this why you are so anxious to ask me for help?"

On Regent Street, Ash was carrying a pile of shopping bags in each hand and three cardboard boxes hanging around his neck.

He looked at Snape resentfully.

Unfortunately, the latter was completely invisible, and Snape was completely submerged in a pile of items.

It looks like a movable luggage rack.

"I can't help it. After all, it's your wife who goes shopping with Lily."

Snape's dull voice came from the shopping bag.

He paced forward with difficulty, but his eyes were almost always looking at the red-haired woman who was shopping hand in hand with the fireproof girl.

Ah, Lily's happy smile, I haven't seen it for a long time.

I really hope to protect this smile forever.

"Cut, lick the dog."

Ash was very disdainful of Snape.

The ending of being a dog licker is doomed, but the fireproof girl would never treat herself like this.

"Lord Ashes, hurry up and follow."

The fireproof girl who was walking in front suddenly turned her head, with a satisfied blush on her fair little face.

This time when I look back, I smile beautifully and charmingly.

It seems that shopping can indeed make women feel happy, no matter what world they are from.

"Hey, here we come."

The disdain on Ash's face turned into a smile instantly, and he jumped up and down with the shopping bag to keep up with the fireproof woman.

Behind them, three mobile luggage racks were moving with difficulty, attracting passersby's side glances.

Oh, look.

Whose servant is this? It’s so miserable.

Such a wealthy owner of the stall.

Lily hadn't returned to the human world for a long time, and with sufficient funds, she had only one idea.

buy! buy! buy!

Her enthusiasm even rubbed off on the fire girl.

So under the ravage of the two wealthy women, Ash was quickly reduced to the fourth luggage rack.

Looking at Ash who was silent, Snape couldn't help laughing.

"what are you laughing at?"

Ash's sight was completely blocked by shopping bags, but this did not prevent him from looking at Snape's position.

"I remembered something happy." Snape walked forward slowly.

There were sniffing sounds from time to time in the luggage pile.

That was the drink Lily hung around his neck.

Black, full of bubbles like a potion.

Take a sip and your whole body will feel as comfortable as an electric shock.

Snape would have called it Severus' Happy Water.

"What are you happy about?"

"I remembered an old Chinese saying, brothers, we should share blessings and share hardships."

"I thank you!"

"You're welcome, you should, brother!"

"roll!"

……

It's dusk, and the sun is setting in the west.

Fireproof Girl and Lily finally finished their day of shopping.

Ash and Snape thought about finding a hidden corner to stuff things into their backpacks, but the strong men transformed by the two house elves and the two house elves using transfiguration would turn into luggage in a short time. shelf.

Ash even felt that the two sisters were playing with Lego, stuffing shopping bags wherever there was space among the four of them.

On the Knight Bus, Ash breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he finally had the chance to put shopping bags into his backpack openly.

Looking at Snape, both of them showed expressions of relief.

"Hello, Professor Snape, Professor Losric, the four of you have a total of 44 Silver Sickles. I wonder where your destination is?"

A conductor wearing a purple uniform walked up. He had a pair of big fan ears and a few small pimples on his face.

Snape threw two Galleons, but before he could speak, Lily spoke first.

"The Leaky Cauldron, thank you."

After saying that, she smiled sweetly at Snape.

"My wand disappeared, and now I have to buy a new one. And I haven't bought Harry a gift for so long."

Snape shrugged.

You look good, you have the final say.

In the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron, Lily looked at the eternal brick wall with emotion on her face.

No, it still has some changes.

Not far from the brick that serves as a mechanism, there is another brick.

Originally, everyone was the same, but now there is a small hole in the brick.

Snape compared it with his wand and found that it matched perfectly.

Who has time to play with a wand and a brick?

Snape and Lily went to Diagon Alley to start another shopping spree.

Thankfully, now he doesn't need to turn into a luggage rack anymore.

Looking at the two people walking towards the depths of Diagon Alley, Ash hugged the fireproof girl.

"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Ash asked very concerned.

The fire girl nodded.

After shopping all day, she was indeed a little hungry.

The two returned to the Leaky Cauldron.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ash felt that the Leaky Cauldron seemed much cleaner.

All the miscellaneous people are gone too.

"Old Tom, warm up two bowls of butterbeer and have a large portion of the limited set menu."

Ash finished ordering the food skillfully, and then placed two large coins on the table.

After counting on his fingers, Ash took back one gold galleung and replaced it with two silver Sickles.

"Okay, you'll be waiting later, Mr. Losric."

Old Tom saw the pregnant Ilia with his own eyes, so he didn't ask Ash why he didn't drink.

Just as Old Tom went down to prepare, a homeless man wearing a ragged leather coat suddenly broke in from the door.

The visitor seemed to have not eaten for a long time, so he started to drink heavily while carrying the bottle on the bar.

Not long after, a large bottle of water of life entered his stomach.

The homeless man smacked his mouth.

"Oh, man, if you see the boss later, can you please tell me not to sell purified alcohol as wine to customers. What if that customer happens to eat too many tacos?"

I suspect the guest you are talking about is yourself.

Ash frowned and watched the homeless man lift a barrel of German dark beer.

"Drinking this stuff is like eating bread. It can fill my empty and lonely belly."

pat~

A smell of alcohol accompanied by a strong aroma of malt filled the entire first floor of the Leaky Cauldron.

The homeless man picked up the barrel and was about to pour it into his mouth.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Dante, I told you that this place is not like the small place you lived in before. You have to pay first to eat!"

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

Then a round belly knocked open the door of the Leaky Cauldron, and the Duke staggered in wearing a blue robe.

The floor of the Leaky Cauldron shook with every step he took.

Oh, isn't this the Duke?Changed clothes?

Under the Duke's huge body, the knife on his waist was like a small toothpick.

Then he saw Ash accompanying his wife.

He stepped forward quickly, wanting to give her a warm hug.

"Mr. Losric, we finally meet again."
