HP solves the mystery

After staying at home for almost a month, the results of the newts exam were finally sent by an owl. The TV series about Basilisk Chase was also finished, so I encouraged someone to go out to play.

It can't go to the Muggle zoo, but it can go to Diagon Alley, where wizards gather, and previous newspapers have written about the many new shops opening in Diagon Alley.

[Hiss... Severus... Let's go to Diagon Alley and have a look. Isn't there a flying carpet for sale? We can buy one and give it to the Chinese. Seeing Severus's hesitation, the basilisk continued, "I'm almost finished with my snacks. You have to go out and help me replenish them, right?" 】

Severus couldn't stand the basilisk's coquettish tone, so he changed his clothes and went out at its urging.

London is both big and small, and you can still meet acquaintances when you go out occasionally.

"Hey, Severus, where did you move to? I didn't see you in Spider End, and Petunia didn't tell me the address of your new home." Lily saw Severus' eyes light up, as if complaining said something.

"Hello Lily, Petunia, long time no see." Severus waved his hand and replied politely.

Petunia smiled awkwardly at Severus. She shouldn't have agreed to Lily's shopping trip to the city center on the weekend. Besides, you guys have been at school for so long and you still don't know her new address.

Lily didn't seem to see her sister's expression, so she held her hand and asked affectionately, "Severus, how are your grades? Where are you going to find a job in the future? I think your grades are so good, but if you go back to the wizarding world...well... Um..." She gave her a knowing look.

Severus glanced at Lily in confusion. She actually started asking about work? You know, it was less than a month after I graduated from school.

"My grades are okay. I will stay at home for a while." He replied, rolling up his sleeves. "You can continue shopping. I'm going to Diagon Alley to buy some things."

Lily blinked her green eyes, and when she heard that he was going to Diagon Alley, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"That's just on my way, Severus. I made an appointment with James and the others. We can chat together then..." Lily said and looked at Petunia aside, "Sister, come together and meet my boyfriend - James Mu."

Petunia nodded noncommittally. She was interested in the things in Diagon Alley. Her sister's boyfriend was just incidental. The only trouble was Severus, who also liked Lily before.

Severus received Petunia's strange look and felt uncomfortable all over, and he frowned.

"Lily, I went there to buy materials, not to hang out." He refused with a serious face. He didn't want to see Potter, the devil incarnation. "I'm leaving first." After he said that, he turned and left.

Lily stamped her feet angrily behind him, pulling Petunia to follow him. The road was so wide, so he couldn't stop him from walking, right?

Petunia looked helpless, remembering her mother's nagging at home, and could only step up to follow.

Many new shops have opened on Charing Cross Street. There are several small family emblems engraved on the corners of the colorful signboards. There is an endless stream of customers in the shops, and business seems to be very good.

Severus hadn't been shopping for more than half a year, so he wasn't so keen on the changes here, but Petunia always found part-time jobs in the city center, so she was quite familiar with it.

"Is the one wearing the pointed hat over there a wizard?" Petunia touched Lily's arm and asked her to look to the left.

Lily looked over there, and saw a middle-aged wizard wearing a purple pointed hat, dancing and talking about the product in his hand. The product was filled with sparks and occasionally jumped a few times, which amazed the onlookers.

"Not sure, I'll have another look." Lily pulled Petunia closer. They hadn't entered Diagon Alley yet, and wizards couldn't use magic in front of Muggles.

Severus was so focused on running to the medicine shop and new store in Diagon Alley that he didn't notice the sudden disappearance of the person behind him.

Diagon Alley is very lively, everyone is carrying big and small bags of things, and the children are playing with a suspended board under their feet, with happy faces.

Severus took a closer look, my dear, isn't this just a skateboard without wheels? And it can also move forward quickly while floating.

The Broomstick store, which was always surrounded by children, was much cleaner, and the store clerk had a sad face.

"Let it go, let it go! Lower your head!"

Severus was looking at it in a trance when he heard a noise in his ears.

Several people carried some large boxes and entered a strangely decorated house, which was a newly opened shop.

"Quick, quick, quick, Molosi is in a new movie, go and buy tickets!"

"Brother, I want to watch "The Snowman", remember to buy me popcorn and Coke!"

"Oh my god, stop pushing me, my hair is falling out!"

Some people were shouting excitedly, and some were angry and complaining, but this group of young people still rushed over there.

Severus was shocked when he heard about movies, popcorn and coke. He knew that there was entertainment in the wizarding world, but it was all about singers, bands and Quidditch.

When did you become so up to date with the times? I haven't heard of it either.

Lucius sneezed while working in the study, and the dark circles under his eyes showed his hard work.

He picked up a handkerchief and wiped his nose, thinking that the Muggles this time were quite reliable, but they were just a few galleons, so why not deduct some?

Mazikin, who was captured to film a movie, shuddered. When he saw the wizard flying around on a broomstick, he quickly went out to correct his movements and left the discomfort behind him.

Severus, who was in Diagon Alley, approached the shop and took a look. The name of the shop was Molosi Cinema. The sign next to the door listed the movies and ticket prices. The ticket seller at the window was selling things conscientiously.

This is completely copying the movie theater model from the Muggle world, and the effect is pretty good.

[Severus, stop looking and go eat something first. I'm starving. 】The basilisk stuck out its tongue and looked around curiously for a while. Seeing that no one was interested, it retracted into its pocket in disappointment.

"Oh, okay," Severus replied softly.

He wondered whether this shop would be closed down by the Ministry of Magic, but when he saw that the people around him looked familiar, he curbed his curiosity. After being told this by the Basilisk, he went to the street food stall.

The changes in Diagon Alley were huge. After filling his stomach, he walked around in it. When he came out, he had a rolled up blanket in his hand and the hoverboard that the children used to play under his arm.

He went to the medicine shop and bookstore to check again, and found that the prices were a little more expensive than a few months ago, but he had to buy them in order to brew the potion. As for the medicinal materials and books he bought, he left an address for the owl to send them.

Lily and Petunia also carried a lot of things in their hands, and they couldn't hide the satisfied smiles on their faces.

The three eventually met at an ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley and chatted while eating.

"I found the movies in Molosi's store to be very novel, completely different from what I saw outside." Penny took a bite of the fried sausage and continued, "There are also flying carpets and flashlights that don't require electricity... It’s really surprising..." Compared to things that required magic to be driven before, what she can use is amazing.

Lily nodded cooperatively. If she hadn't seen the recommendation in the Daily Prophet and James' invitation, she would have stayed at home or gone to Potter Manor to play during the entire holiday, thinking about whether to join the Order of the Phoenix.

But speaking of James, Lily's brain started to work because of her shopping spree, and she agreed to go on a date in Diagon Alley. Where did he go?

The remembered James was currently sitting on Sirius's motorcycle. On his way to London, he was chased by two Muggle policemen.

"Stop the motorcycle in front of you. You are speeding. Please pull over to the left and let me check your ID!" The white policeman stuck his head out of the window and kept calling the two people in front of him with a loudspeaker.

James looked back curiously, who were these Muggles talking about?

"Sirius, what are they talking about?" James asked, picking his ears.

Sirius sped up the speed of his motorcycle, swaying left and right to play with the police cars behind him. Seeing that they couldn't catch up, he curled his lips in boredom, "Whatever, Muggles can't see us anyway, and their rules don't apply to wizards. Woolen cloth."

James nodded in agreement after hearing this, turned around and made a face at the policeman behind him, but seeing how his face was red with anger and his neck was thick, he had a bad idea in his mind.

"Sirius, did we use the wand to cast a spell? Muggle shielding spell." James swallowed, his expression suspicious.

"Didn't you cast a spell?" Sirius glanced at him, and when he saw him looking back in confusion, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you cast a spell?"

The smiles on James and Sirius' faces gradually faded, and they secretly thought that something was going to happen.

James took out his wand and was about to cast a spell to remedy the situation.

Three small black dots quickly approached in mid-air, and three wizards riding broomsticks pointed their wands at the two people on the motorcycle.

"Quick confinement."

"Everything is petrified."

"Heart-piercing and bone-cutting."

The three people riding broomsticks cooperated tacitly, casting spells one after another.

"No, Sirius, speed up! Protect yourself with armor!" James yelled, and the spell in his mouth turned around, adding protection to himself and Sirius, "There are many obstacles!"

Sirius reacted quickly, and the magic spells thrown by the three people were deflected by him. The green light fell on the road, and a hole as big as a basketball appeared on the ground.

The policemen in the police car were all shocked, okay? There were no wires or cameras around, which meant it wasn't filming, but why could those three people fly on broomsticks? He also used the small stick in his hand to make a hole in the ground.

"Stop! Get off the broom! Otherwise I'm going to shoot!" the middle-aged policeman yelled, and fired a shot into the sky with the gun in his hand.

The young policeman in the co-pilot tugged on his clothes to tell him not to get involved in any strange incident.

Sirius heard the 'bang bang' sound and saw the three wizards who were persevering and looked at the police car with strange eyes.

"James, I'll speed up. You find the right moment to lift up the police car and let those three people hit it." Sirius licked his lips and cast a spell on a person in the air. The person's face instantly swelled up. .

James hummed, and with the agility he had learned in school, he quickly cast a spell at the three of them.

"We have to find Aurors for help as soon as possible. These Death Eaters are too arrogant!" James said in disgust, remembering that he was attacked last year, and it was hard not to suspect that they were here for revenge.

Sirius didn't answer when he heard this, he just increased his speed to the fastest, his eyes narrowed by the wind.

The wizard with a swollen face was supported by the other two people and was riding a broom in mid-air.

The combination of old and new hatreds made the three of them red-eyed and accelerated their progress.

James raised his wand and pointed it at the police car. He quickly raised the police car and floated it into the air. The three people were caught off guard and bumped into it.

The policeman in the police car locked the door tightly in fear and stared at these strange people through the window, his eyes full of defense.

Seeing that the three people fell off the brooms and fell to the ground, James thought that he would not be able to catch up for a while, so he put the police car back on the ground.

Sirius drove his motorcycle and quickly found the nearby Auror and took them back to the scene of the incident.

But at this time, except for the unconscious policeman in the police car, there was no trace of anyone else on the ground.

The bald Auror who was called over looked at the surrounding environment and saw the wooden block belonging to the broomstick, and then he believed that Sirius and the two were attacked.

The bald Aurors looked at their motorcycles and said nothing. They had also heard about the new policies of the Ministry of Magic in the past six months, and they were used to seeing magically modified motorcycles.

"You leave first, I will take care of this matter." The bald Auror twirled the beard on his lips and said thoughtfully for a while, "It's not like Hogwarts outside, so be careful."

Sirius and James nodded, but they firmly decided to join the Order of the Phoenix.

After getting on the motorcycle, they left quickly.

Of course, I didn't forget to cast the Muggle shielding charm this time.

The bald Auror watched them leave, took out his wand and chanted a spell at the unconscious policemen, tampering with the memories of the two policemen, and had to find time to report it.

By the time Sirius and James arrived in Diagon Alley, the agreed time had passed.

Fortunately, Lily guessed that they might have been delayed due to other things and waited in the ice cream shop for a long time.

As for Severus and Petunia, one went home first to play with the flying carpet, while the other went to work during part-time time.

James and Sirius told Lily about their encounter with Death Eaters, focusing on their wit and bravery.

Lily kept nodding her head in approval, but it was a pity that she was not there, otherwise she could have been of some help.

The trio of flying broomsticks, who only wanted to rob, sneezed together, rubbed their aching limbs, and went to the Pig's Head Bar with the money collected from the police.

Little Barty, who was hiding in the dark, was both happy and speechless. Fortunately, Sirius was fine. What was speechless was that three adults could defeat two teenagers who had just graduated. He was indeed the cheapest in the Pig Head Bar. thug'.

Little Barty thought of the mixed-blood wizards who made a lot of money, and thought of his mother's growing smile. He once again lamented that it would be better to join the Death Eaters. If he had to rely entirely on his father, he would probably starve to death without knowing what was going on.

Hearing that Regulus was dragged into the potion project to improve wolfsbane potion by Lucius, little Barty really wanted to ask his father if he really didn't have any missing brothers and sisters outside?
