Hogwarts Scholar System

After saying goodbye to Hermione and the others, Maple found a deserted place and raised her wand in exchange for the Knight Bus.

The Muggles couldn't see the car. Sitting in the car, Maple watched the Knight Bus rush directly into the two cars in front, and then saw the cars jumping to avoid the magical car.

It seemed like this to the eyes, but in reality it seemed like the magic car was squeezing and deforming itself, rushing through the gap between the two cars.Although the appearance has been deformed, the space inside the car has not changed at all.

Although the Muggles couldn't see the Knight Bus, it was impossible for the Muggles not to notice it if it was a magical car driving rampantly and pushing away all obstacles on the road.

Many things in the magical world that seem to be taken for granted actually hide profound magic.Muggles couldn't see or hear the Knight Bus, but wizards could.

This couldn't be the Disillusionment Curse, but a Muggle Repelling Curse.Muggle expulsion spells may be extremely advanced illusions or even spiritual magic. Like Hogwarts, not only can Muggles not see the shadow of the castle, but when approaching the magic field of Hogwarts, they will suddenly think of something important. , and then leave immediately.

But it may also be a simple confusion spell. Muggles do not have any magic power in their bodies. The confusion spell can easily interfere with their vision and hearing. As long as children with magical talents have some magic power in their bodies, even before entering school of.The Confusion Curse of Magu's Expelling Curse has a very low threshold. As long as there is magic induction, it can eliminate its interference with vision and hearing. This is why wizards can notice many things that Muggles don't care about or can't see.

Of course, this is just a conjecture. The real details of Knight Bus are still known to their boss.But what Maple is most interested in is the Space Transformation Spell. Although he has mastered the Traceless Stretching Curse to a certain level, he still doesn't know if the box with the Traceless Stretching Curse inside is used to shrink the box outside. , will the space inside also shrink?

Taking the Knight Bus, you can reach your destination quickly even when the traffic in the secular world is extremely congested.

Not even half an hour had passed, maybe not even a quarter of an hour, before Maple arrived at the orphanage where she was going.If we were to take Muggle transportation, we would never be able to get there in such a short time.

Arriving at the orphanage, Maple not only saw the director, but also Emily.Seeing that there seemed to be tears in the dean's eyes and that the other people's faces were not looking good, Maple immediately felt that something was wrong, and the good mood she was in was instantly gone.

"Dean, what happened?" Maple ran to the dean's side and asked immediately.

The dean immediately asked all the other children to leave. Only the dean and Emily knew Maple's identity as a magician.The dean was notified by Dumbledore, and Emily, considering that she could not let the Light of Hope Company completely out of her control before completely letting go, the dean was only a legal person in name, but she was not good at managing the company. , so the actual helm and person in charge is Emily.

However, Maple was still very reassured about her. Before she founded the company, she taught poor orphanage children for free, which shows that her character is trustworthy. After learning about Maple's identity, she was very surprised. In addition, he did not show any rejection of magic.Otherwise, if she showed the same aversion to magic that the Vernon family showed, Maple would probably have to find a way to cast an oblivion spell on her.

"Ike and Mary are missing. I haven't seen them for many days. The police have been called. Emily has also helped to track down clues everywhere, but they still haven't been found." The director of the orphanage cried.

"Don't worry, Dean, leave this matter to me. As long as nothing happens to them, I will bring them back safely." Maple immediately assured the Dean.

Before Maple left, she chatted with Emily about the company for a while and asked her to go back to the company to do her work first and leave everything to him.

Maple has a suggestion for quickly building a company's presence.Didn't the company recruit many veterans as security guards? Let's take this as an opportunity to establish a charity fund for disabled soldiers.

There is no need to bribe all soldiers, just providing necessary relief to disabled soldiers can gain the favor of the entire military circle.This can not only increase the loyalty of the security backbone under his command, but also warn the slippery elements among them.After establishing a good relationship with the entire military community, their company can always find alternative resources to replenish the security team's blood.But after realizing that they are no longer indispensable, they will have a sense of crisis, and they will not dare to act recklessly even if their original little thoughts still exist.

After a brief meeting with the dean and then a brief separation, Maple felt quite uncomfortable.Although the original Maple's soul has completely dissipated in the world, his last remnant soul has integrated his nostalgia for the orphanage into Lin Feng's soul, unknowingly making Lin Feng have a close feeling for the orphanage.

Although Lin Feng was attached to the orphanage, he had not stayed in the orphanage for a particularly long time since he came to this world, so he did not have a deep impression of Maple, the other orphan in the orphanage.

Even the magic world doesn't have a good way to find a missing person in a vast sea of ​​people who has been missing for several days.Then we can only rely on luck——

Maple carefully put a small drop in her mouth. It was less than an hour's supply, but if luck could help, these elixirs should be enough.

After drinking the Elixir of Fortune, Maple closed her eyes and silently said, "Help me find the children in the orphanage, just like calling the Room of Requirement," and then followed the feeling that suddenly arose in her heart.

"Go to Diagon Alley!" Maple waved her wand again, summoned the Knight Bus, and said where she was going, which was also the place where Felixir felt there was a clue.

There were other passengers in the car this time, but in order to rush for time and not waste the efficacy of the Felixir, Maple directly bribed the other passengers with rich money and asked the driver to go directly to Diagon Alley.

When we arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, it was the time when students were on vacation, and because the population of wizards was not large, young wizards accounted for a considerable proportion of the population of the wizarding world.Although it is not as good as before the start of Hogwarts, it is still much more lively than when students were in school.

Through the wall passage behind the Leaky Cauldron, Maple came to Diagon Alley.Although it lived up to the crowds before the students went to school, there were at least several wizards stopping in front of each store. From time to time, fierce quarrels between customers and shopkeepers could be heard from the shops where business was booming.

The rent in Diagon Alley is very expensive. If there is not enough profit return, the shops here cannot be supported.

But after entering, Maple did not stay too much in this bustling street where land was at a premium. Instead, he followed the instructions of Fuling Elixir and walked towards a remote corner.

Maple, who knew the future, immediately knew where he was going——

Knockturn Alley!

Compared with the glorious Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley is a dilapidated and dark place, just like those rich areas and poor areas in the secular world that are separated by a wall. There are two worlds separated by a wall, one is heaven and the other is hell.

A happy world, a chaotic dance of demons.It's like Wutian, in the sequel to Journey to the West, shouted: "Turn off the lights!" after occupying Lingshan Mountain.

Then the brilliant golden light of Lingshan Hall immediately turned lifeless, and all the Buddhas in the sky turned into demons and monsters. Although Wutian's occupation of Lingshan was a catastrophe, it seemed to save Lingshan a lot of electricity. (Just a little joke, just for fun.)

Completely different from the bustle of Diagon Alley, it is dark and deserted here. It is common for the shops here not to see a single customer for a month. If they are not open for three months, they will only be open for three months. This is the current situation of most shops here.

The impression of Knockturn Alley was that it was a dark and sinful den, but after actually walking around, Maple discovered that this was not entirely the case.

Maybe Bojinbok and many of the big black magic shops settled here are indeed evil people, but the more werewolf wandering wizards and even some dark wizards here are also pitiful people.

Needless to say, the situation of werewolves, and many of the sources of dark wizards here are Muggle wizards.Because of the strict regulations of the Secrecy Law, once entering the magical world, Muggle-born wizards must be isolated from the secular world and cannot find jobs in the secular world. (Witches are better off. They can marry a Muggle and be a housewife with peace of mind, so they don’t violate the rules.)

The number of jobs in the magic world is limited, and many of the money-making things are controlled by pure-blood families.Then these wizards who can't find jobs in the magical world, possess seemingly high-level magic, but because they can't find a bite to eat, they are forced to live in the dirty and smelly place of Knockturn Alley and become the dregs of society. .

The reason why this is a gathering place for black magic is because black magic is easier to learn and more powerful than formal magic. Some wizards with insufficient qualifications can only hide in the darkness in order to survive.It's just that their knowledge of dark magic is relatively rudimentary. The backbone of Voldemort's Death Eaters are all wizards from pure-blood families. They look down upon these similar dark wizards and can only work as peripheral jobs for Voldemort. of.

Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley are only an alley apart. It is impossible for the Ministry of Magic not to know about the existence of this place, but there is nothing they can do about it.Because of the complete destruction of Diagon Alley, as the government of magicians, the Ministry of Magic has to be responsible for the livelihood of these people.It would be better to let them rot and stink like now, without having to worry about it, how nice and easy it would be.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Magic often searches for dark magic items in Knockturn Alley, it never intends to completely destroy it, because the benefits of destroying it are far outweighed by the troubles it will cause.

Moreover, every time the raids were carried out, the small shops and the dark wizards who set up stalls were unlucky. Those big shops were always stable, otherwise the dark magic items that Lucius Malfoy found troublesome would not be sold here. Give it to Bo Jin Bo Ke.
