time at hogwarts

Diagon Alley, which had been dormant for a summer vacation, became lively again. Familiar faces and unfamiliar faces abounded. Magos and Hermione were chatting about the second grade book list while walking towards Magos's newly opened shop. go.

As in the novel, Hermione is not only not opposed to buying Gilderoy Lockhart's books, but is also very happy. She and Mrs. Weasley think he is a great wizard.

"Who do you think will take over Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class? He must be an admirer of Mr. Lockhart."

"Professor Quirrell is in the store. He should know. Just ask."

"It's a pity that Professor Quirrell can no longer be a professor at Hogwarts. Everyone knows that the things he did were involuntary." Speaking of Quirrell, Hermione shook her head and felt sorry for him.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We know he was involuntarily, and Principal Dumbledore can prove it, but the Ministry of Magic and the students' parents won't believe it. It's not like you don't know that the Ministry of Magic still thinks it's true. Quirrell's unauthorized study of black magic caused him to become insane. If it weren't for the headmaster, he might have been imprisoned in Azkaban."

"I really don't understand how they could come up with such an excuse." Hermione looked indignant.

"It's not that the top brass of the Ministry of Magic didn't believe that the mysterious man was back, so they buried their heads in the sand like an ostrich." Fudge's character is described very clearly in the novel. If the entire magical world hadn't known about Voldemort's return, he would have Probably still wishful thinking that Voldemort is dead.

Soon they arrived at the shop that used to be Jessamine Weplington's.At this time, the door of the shop was open. The dark, old and strange smell at the beginning was no longer inside. Brand-new walls and floors replaced the previous rotten wood. Several large windows filled the large shop with light. , several neatly organized empty shelves await the goods that are about to be sold.Magos saw that occasionally wizards were curious about the reopening of this store that had been closed for nearly ten years. However, when they saw the empty shelves inside, they knew that the store had not officially opened yet. The kids go to the next store.

"Have you not decided what to sell yet?" Hermione asked curiously, looking at the empty shelves inside.

"I think I've thought about it, but I don't want to start selling it now. Let's go and listen to Professor Quirrell's opinion first."

After entering the store, Magos found that the store was much larger than it looked from the outside. Not surprisingly, Quirrell had used the infinite expansion spell.This is much more advanced than using mirrors to expand space in the real world.

Magos was a little embarrassed to see the brand-new store. This was the second time that he, the real owner, walked in.He didn't expect that Quirrell would really regard opening a store as a career, which made him feel like he was shooting mosquitoes with an antiaircraft gun. He was really overqualified.

They saw Quirrell sitting at the table by the fireplace, concentrating on writing something, but they didn't notice two people coming in.

"Professor Quirrell, what are you writing?"

"Ah." Magos's voice woke Quirrell up, and he looked up to see the two of them laughing.

"I'm no longer a professor, just call me Quirrell or Quirinas from now on. I'm thinking about what to sell in this shop."

"What do you think?" Hermione also became interested.

"Magic materials and props are the most valuable. I have a friend who makes magic props, but the magic materials are no longer available. This needs to be negotiated. Secondly, the books are also good. There is currently a Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley."

"Then let's sell some magic props and books first." Magos was not interested in what he was selling now. Seeing Quirrell's serious look, it was empty anyway, so he took out a 5000 Galleons pocket and put it on the table. .

"There are 5000 galleons in it, let's use it as the starting capital of our store."

"Okay." Qiluo didn't feel much about the money Magos took out. It was normal for the boss to give money to purchase goods, although the money was a bit too much. "What do you mean first?"

Magos did not answer his question immediately but asked, "Professor, where do the potions made in the potions class in school usually go?"

Quirrell knew what he meant as soon as he heard what he said, and said with a smile, "It's all at Professor Snape's. Professor Snape will keep the therapeutic ones in the hospital. I haven't paid attention to the others. You can ask Snape." Professor Pu.”

Hermione reacted quickly, and as soon as she thought about it, she knew what he was thinking.

"But will Professor Snape agree?"

"It should be fine. Most potions are useless in school. You have to know that many potions will gradually lose their effectiveness even if they are placed in sealed bottles. Instead of wasting them like this, why not sell them to me cheaper, but it's just I don’t know if anyone will buy low-level potions.”

Quirrell smiled confidently at this time, "Don't worry about this. There is still a huge demand for low-level potions. Not to mention those wizards who are not talented in potions. Even many wizards who are proficient in potions will often buy low-level potions. For them, Making low-level potions is a waste of time.

"

Magos understood when he said this. This was equivalent to the online games he had played. The low-level materials needed to make high-level equipment were generally rarely collected by anyone in person. They were all purchased in stores, which saved time and Save effort.

Just as Magos and Quirrell were discussing some details, the Weasley family also walked in.

"Such a big shop." The twins fell in love with this place as soon as they entered. They still remembered that McGoss said they could sell the prank toys they made here.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were also surprised. During the summer vacation, they knew that Magos was a rich man in the Muggle world, but they didn't expect that he had an industry in the wizarding world.But it can be seen from their anxious expressions that they are not very interested in this store at the moment.

"Where's Harry?" Hermione asked, looking around.

"We came together via Floo powder, but when we arrived we found that Harry was not with us." Mrs. Weasley said eagerly.

"Yes, I hope he just missed a furnace door. To be honest, this kind of thing almost never happens. I don't know where he is now."

Magos had really forgotten about this incident. After they told him, he seemed to remember that it was Dobby who caused him to be sent to Knockturn Alley.

"Mrs. Weasley, don't worry. Even if you missed a furnace door, he should be around Diagon Alley now. Have you looked around?"

"No, we came here to talk to you first, and then we continue looking."

"We're going to help too." Quirrell was also quite worried about Harry who was missing inexplicably.

"Excuse me, Professor Quirrell." Mr. Weasley said and hurriedly left with Ron and the others.

Quirrell took Magos and Hermione through the other way.

"I heard that you took Harry to the United States this summer. This is really dangerous. I really don't understand why Principal Dumbledore agreed to your opinion." Quirrell paid close attention to the people around him and spoke in an incredible way. The tone said to Magos.

"I didn't expect that the principal would agree." Magos shrugged, "And we didn't encounter any danger. Besides, we have invisible beasts as bodyguards."

Magos looked at the entrance of Knockturn Alley not far away, but it looked like Quirrell was not going to go in to check. He looked at Via Dandi in the pet bag, and his heart moved.

"Professor Quirrell, Hermione, wait a minute, Via Dandy seems to be able to sense where Harry is."

Unlike Hermione's suspicion, Quirrell knew the origin of Via Dandy, and it was not surprising that this unknown magical animal had a special ability.

Magos pretended to ask Via Dandi, "Little guy, can you sense Harry's position and point it out to us." Just when Magos was about to show off, he closed his eyes and pretended to use spiritual dialogue. When he came, Viadandy gave him a strange look at first, then jumped out of the pet bag on his own initiative, meowed, and swung his big tail before running to the intersection of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

Magos had a confused look on his face. He didn't expect Via Dandy to actually be able to sense Harry's position.He doesn't know this skill yet, and there's no need to pretend.Quirrell walked to the door of Knockturn Alley to stop Magos and Hermione from moving forward, and he followed Via Dandy in.

"How did Harry get to Knockturn Alley?" Hermione seemed to have heard the story of Knockturn Alley, and she looked a little nervous.

Magos looked at the dim alley. He knew that it was not as exaggerated as the legend said. Although there were many props and materials about black magic for sale, they were just transactions. Just like the magic props he bought when he went in, they disappeared. The same memory.However, the place is very unfriendly to wizards whose parents are Muggles. It will be easy to kill you, just for fear that they will turn into robbers and rob money and people.

Quirrell and Harry appeared in the eyes of Magos and Hermione at almost the same time as Hagrid.

"Professor Quirrell. Harry? Did you go to Knockturn Alley?" Hagrid was just about to say hello to Magos and Hermione when he saw Harry being brought out by Quirrell, and his face turned serious. "That's not a good place, Harry. Don't let anyone see you there."

Harry nodded sympathetically, "Sorry, Hagrid, I don't know why I'm there."

Harry didn't know how to explain his sudden appearance in Knockturn Alley, and he thought it was a mistake.

"Well, I also need to find a medicine to repel the carnivorous slugs. They are destroying all the cabbage in the school. See you at Hogwarts." He nodded at them, and then warned Harry again that it would be best before he reaches adulthood. Don't go into Knockturn Alley again, and then walk into the dark Knockturn Alley.

Quirrell notified Arthur somehow, and not long after, they ran over panting.

"Harry, my dear, my God, where have you been? We are worried to death." Mrs. Weasley quickly ran to Harry and looked around twice before she felt relieved.
