HP solves the mystery
Chapter 42 England under heat wave
Severus, in the past few days, had been wandering around central London looking for business opportunities. However, no matter what he looked at, it was not as profitable and convenient as making potions.
He walked aimlessly on the street, feeling the wind and sand blurring his eyes.
There are more dusty travelers on the streets. This is because some areas in the southwest have not rained for a long time, forcing some factories to close to save water resources, resulting in workers taking indefinite leave. They all come to London to have a good time.
Prime Minister James Callaghan urgently appointed MP Denis Howell as the new drought minister, leading them to encourage the public to save water and tide over the crisis together.
People in the interior couldn't stand the heat, so they flocked to Brighton's beaches and jumped into the cool spots of Hyde Park's Crooked Lake or Hampstead Heath's ponds to beat the heat.
Spectators lined up to buy tickets in the shade to avoid the sun. In order to watch the men's tennis singles final held at Wimbledon Stadium, they were obviously ready to be exposed to the scorching sun; while the business people wearing bowler hats were much more restrained. , put the briefcase aside next to the fountain in Trafalgar Square, carefully took off his leather shoes, rolled up his trousers, and let his feet cool down.
Some people have already installed air conditioners, but the labor is expensive and few people have installed them. Most people just rely on them to get through the hot summer.
This is the hottest period in England, with hospitals showing a 20% increase in the number of "abnormal deaths" year-on-year, a surge in hospitalizations for heat stroke and heat-related heart attacks, and pediatrics being overcrowded.
When Severus passed by the reservoir, he found that it was dry, as were the rivers along the way.
Children with nothing to do can ride bicycles along the dry riverbed and pick up some fish that have escaped the net and take them home to eat.
Newspapers reported that a forest fire broke out in a certain place, causing crop damage worth 5 million pounds (about 6 million U.S. dollars). The asphalt road on the M1 motorway melted, which can be described as very tragic.
These have seriously affected prices in various places. The price of rice and noodles in London has soared, and the poor are almost having no place to stand.
Severus bought a newspaper from the newsboy. Looking at the news, he couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of the wizarding world. At least he now felt very comfortable thanks to the cooling spell.
Pedestrians passing by used their hands or newspapers as fans to fan themselves. The sun was so intense that they were sweating profusely and had no desire to communicate.
He touched the wand in his sleeve pocket, thinking about the possibility of casting a weather spell here, but rejected the idea in the next second.
The Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world must have some contact with the upper echelons of the Muggle world. None of them took any measures to deal with this unusual weather. As a student, he had too much to worry about.
Severus hid his wand inside, adjusted his cuffs, and turned around to enter a coffee shop. There were only a lot of coffee shops here.
The decoration of the coffee shop is simple and fresh, and the food prices are relatively cheap.
He ordered a croissant with a latte and sat by the window, which was right next to the commercial street and he could see the passing pedestrians and moving vehicles.
He was drinking coffee while looking at the scenery outside the window. In fact, it was not a scenery, but it was just because he had spare money to enjoy the comfort here.
The next moment, a pair of extremely dark eyes came into his sight, and then an unparalleledly handsome face appeared not far from him, but the injury on the side of the face made it look a bit harsh.
Severus recognized this man at a glance as the man he had bought second-hand books from before at the Leaky Cauldron, but now his face was even paler, and he didn't know what he had gone through.
Perhaps because he had been staring for a long time, the man looked in his direction as if he was aware of it, squinted his eyes, and then disappeared around the corner with a red light in his eyes.
Severus wondered what happened to the man's wound, and wondered if it was caused by travel.
But he soon couldn't remember this. He took out the small bottle in his pocket and took a sip. His age-increasing drug was about to take effect. In order not to reveal his true age, he signed a store as soon as possible...
It turned out that it was unrealistic to open a store and the asking price was too high.
Moreover, he is really good for his age of 24 or 5. He is still 1.8 meters tall, with a thin waist and long legs. He is still handsome. The most important thing is that after he did not cast the Muggle Expelling Curse, no one took him seriously anymore. Child.
He ate the croissant in two bites, and after drinking the coffee, he stood up and walked out of the store, intending to go to Fulu Street to see if he could eat authentic Chinese cuisine.
Severus hummed a tune happily and walked slowly. Although the current Fulu Street is not as prosperous as in later generations, the situation is different now, and seeing familiar faces will make people feel much more comfortable.
On the other side of the street, there was a person who was walking in the same direction as him, strolling leisurely on the street full of Muggles, watching everything with a calm expression.
"Well ... Tom, where do we go ... Still go to the last shop to eat? Do you eat roast goose?" The green snake appeared from the man's chest pocket, and asked curiously, sweeping the tail gently past the man's chin.
"Yes," the handsome man replied in a low voice. The wound on his face made him very happy. This was a sign that he had succeeded in making another Horcrux.
The old man in Fulu Street was really accurate, but he missed one thing, that is, he had not lost his mind.
The little green snake - Nagini rolled happily in her pocket, blinking her beady eyes, "Burning Goose, here I come!"
