Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 192 The Extended Street
"Grandpa, what are they holding in their hands?"

"Mobile phone, for making calls."

"Then why do you have to look down when you walk?"

"I don't know, the last time I heard that mobile phones are a kind of Muggle drug."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it's addictive, once infected it's hard to quit, and they can't live without their phones."

Alton and Maureen came out of the alley and walked along the street.Although Alton is not the kind of wizard who can perfectly disguise as a Muggle like Professor Charles, he still knows a lot more Muggle knowledge than Maureen. He explained Muggle knowledge to Maureen along the way.

Mo Lin just listened to it casually, but couldn't understand it anyway.

Alton walked to the corner, took out a gold pocket watch, opened the cover of the pocket watch, turned the knob next to the pocket watch twice, and then the dial of the pocket watch became a mirror.

"Edmund, where are you?" Alton whispered into the mirror.

Edmund's face soon appeared in the mirror, behind him was a huge red billboard, and Muggles walked by from time to time.

"Alton, Brent and I are here, come here!" Edmund said.

"Maureen, take my hand."

Alton took Maureen to a corner where there were no Muggles, Moline grabbed Alton's arm, Alton turned the pointer of the pocket watch twice, a flash of light flashed, and when Maureen reacted, he and Alton Already appeared next to Edmund.

"It's really convenient!" Maureen looked at Alton's pocket watch enviously.

"The magic pocket watches of the field staff of the Ministry of Magic are connected with each other through this. When you see each other in the pocket watch, you can turn the knob and use the apparition to be brought to each other by the pocket watch." Alton put away the pocket watch.

This kind of thing is more accurate than Apparation, because when you don't know where the other party is, it is difficult to Apparate directly beside the other party, but you can do it directly with a pocket watch.

"It's just that the distance is limited, and the user must be able to apparate." Edmund smiled at Molin: "Molin, are you on vacation?"

"Holiday, hello, Mr. Edmund, Mr. Brent." Maureen knew both of them.

"Hello, Maureen." Brent was a tall and thin wizard with protruding browbones and an unattractive appearance, but those who could work in the Ministry of Magic were all very good people.

"What's the situation? Edmund." Alton asked.

Edmund pointed to a street in front of which was being repaired. The two sides were surrounded by wooden boards, and a construction sign was hung on it. There was also an earth truck parked beside it. Smoke and dust billowed up.

"On this street, from time to time there are Muggles walking on this road and things go wrong. It takes an hour to walk a short 500 meters. Now I have surrounded this road and pretended to be repairing it." Ed Meng wiped the sweat from his brow and said.

"Is it the Extending Curse? Magically extend a road, but it can't be seen from the outside?" Alton asked.

"I've tried it, it's not a prolonging curse, come and see, is Maureen coming too?" Edmund said.

"Of course, what if I was abducted by Muggles?" Maureen said with great interest, he rarely followed Alton out.

"You're so weird, who would abduct you." Alton shook his head helplessly.

They stepped over the construction sign, opened a gap in the iron sheet, and walked in.The sound of the earth moving vehicle and the hole being drilled in the ground just now disappeared, and there was no smoke and dust. Everything was just an obstacle created by Edmund's magic.

This is an ordinary road, the ground is paved with cement, and there are cracks in some places, and the sidewalk lines are almost smoothed out.There is also a bus stop on the side of the road. There are some gaudy car advertisements posted on the platform. The car is red and shiny.

"Looking for traces!"

Alton took out his wand and tapped the ground, and a regular white ripple started from his wand and spread along the road. The ripple disappeared far away until it disappeared.

"There is no trace of magic." Alton frowned.

"Yes, there are no traces of magic being cast, but it takes an hour to walk 500 meters. I don't know what went wrong." Edmund was at a loss, and this road had troubled them for a long time.

Alton walked along the road. There was a bend in the middle of the road. There was a traffic light at the bend. The traffic light had been flashing and looked broken.The traffic light was only about 100 meters away from them, but the four of them hadn't reached it after walking for more than ten minutes.

"It's queer."

Molin followed at the end, observing the surroundings along the way. There were various shops and supermarkets on both sides of the road, which were normal Muggle decorations.When I walked over, I didn't feel anything unusual, but it took a long time to walk a short distance.

They walked 100 meters for 10 minutes. When they reached the traffic light, they looked towards the turning street. Poplar trees were planted on both sides of this street.

"Did you find anything wrong? Alton." Brent asked against the broken traffic light.

Alton said: "The biggest thing is that nothing is wrong. It takes so long to walk such a short distance. Have you checked underground?"

"No," said Edmund.

"Then let me take a look."

Alton's wand pointed at the ground, and with a slight shake, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and then it was as if an invisible giant hand rolled along the crack, pulling the concrete road from the middle, to both sides Roll it up, as if the cement road is a cake, soft.

After the road was opened, the huge water supply pipes and sewers below were exposed, as well as a series of high-voltage cables.Alton stepped on the water supply pipe, poked his wand on the cable, and the cable sent a series of blue arcs and conducted them out.

"Oh, the Muggle cable was gnawed by a mouse." Alton pulled out a wire from the black wire, looked at the traffic lights behind him, and shrugged his shoulders: "Fortunately for them, the Muggle department I guess it saved a lot of money.”

Alton tapped the broken cable with his magic wand and connected it. The yellow traffic light behind him suddenly turned green, and a countdown appeared, and he started working.Alton's wand emitted another white light, covering the water supply pipes and sewers, and rippling out.

"There's no trace of magic down there either."

Alton shook his head, and with a light wave of his wand, the cement road that he rolled up just now fell back from both sides. The entire road has been restored without any signs of damage.

"Grandpa, what is that place for?" Mo Lin asked, pointing to the end of the street.

"Is that a Muggle opera house? It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time."

Alton stood up and looked at the direction Molin was pointing at. This street led to an old building with three floors and many reliefs on the walls. The tiles had a thick layer of dust and looked like they hadn't been used in ages.

"That opera house seems a little strange, don't you feel it?" Mo Lin asked.

"What's so strange?"

Alton didn't see anything, not only him, but also Edmund and Brent looked at Maureen in confusion.
