The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

Chapter 77 The Dark Mark of Diagon Alley

"The recent London is very lively." On the phone, Mycroft said in a flat tone.

"Indeed." Daniel replied in the same tone.

"Can you hold on?"

"It's not a big problem."

"That's good." Mycroft said calmly, "I will try my best to deal with it here. By the way, how is your little boyfriend doing recently?"

"He's fine." Daniel replied simply.

Although the two people had such an understated conversation, in fact, the situation is still deteriorating.

Conflicts between wizards and Muggles began to appear frequently, and the two worlds seemed to tear each other's fig leaf, revealing the ugliest side.

Some pure-blood aristocrats under the banner of 'killing Muggles', and some out-of-the-ordinary Muggles who say 'destroy evil wizards'... have messed things up.

This directly leads to the question of 'whether the wizarding world is integrated into Muggles', and there is still no way to draw a conclusion.

But in fact, for most wizards, these things are a bit too far away.

When wizards attack Muggles, they can sympathize and stand up to justice to denounce the perpetrators; Muggles attack wizards, they are dubious at first, but when they find out that it is true, they panic for a while.

But when they discovered that the wizards who were attacked were all wizards who appeared in Muggle society, they felt indifferent again.

When things don't happen to themselves or around them, no one can really understand the feelings of the parties involved.

Most wizards will think: Anyway, we don't intend to go to any Muggle society. As for the wizarding world, there is a 'Muggle Ignore Curse', and Muggles can't get in.

So, life went on as usual, and they actually paid more attention to 'what?Is there another sale at Little Black's?marvelous!Go and buy, buy, buy! 'This kind of people's livelihood issues.

Fudge probably didn't expect this either.

When he was filled with righteous indignation and chanted 'Muggle Threat Theory' at the top of his voice, everyone was already tired of watching the daily quarrels and began to shift their attention to other places.

In this regard, Mr. Black did a very good job.

Diagon Alley now has a series of lively activities such as promotions, performances, movie screenings, games, etc. every day.

Against such a bustling background, the wizarding world is not all harmonious.

The director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Savage, a wizard who has not been in the position of director for a year, even though he tried many times, he still failed to keep his position as director.

Yes, everyone is indeed busy eating, drinking and having fun.

But this does not prevent them from continuously and uninterruptedly expressing all kinds of strong opposition words and fierce protests against a completely incompetent director.

In the end, Savage became the first casualty in the feud between Fudge and Daniel.

In the unanimous voice of the people, he stepped down.

So, the next day, when he met Daniel on a narrow road in Diagon Alley, and passed by each other.

He cursed with a flat, almost vicious look on his face: "Dirty liar! Muggle lackey! Despicable male whore!"

In this regard, Daniel only raised his eyelids slightly, and said lightly with his expression unchanged: "Thank you for the compliment, lost dog."

Then, completely leave this loser behind.

He originally planned to continue walking forward, but just after taking a step, he found that his current boyfriend, Moriarty, who proposed to "go out shopping with him, go out on a date, and ease the tension", was actually not far behind. I was chatting with a familiar wizard.

"Jim?" He turned around and took a few steps back, grabbed his boyfriend's hand, looked over with some doubts, and after seeing the familiar wizard opposite, he couldn't help sighing secretly: "Merlin, what day is it today?" Ah, how did I meet an acquaintance'.

However, before thinking about this, he had already shouted out in surprise: "Mr. Crouch?"

Old Barty Crouch had a stern face, like a stone statue, as serious as ever to the point of inhumanity.

He nodded slightly towards Daniel, like some kind of template of medieval nobleman.

But from a purely polite point of view, as the previous director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement who also stepped down because of Daniel, this gentleman's demeanor is much better than Savage's.

In fact, after the Sirius incident, even though old Barty Crouch lost his position as head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, it was different from Savage's dismissal due to dereliction of duty and constant protests from the public.

Although this resume is flawed, it is admirable most of the time. He has always stood for justice during the war, has a tough style, and has certain contacts and supporters in the Ministry of Magic. Even Fudge cannot completely defeat him. To kick him out of the Ministry of Magic, he could only be transferred to an idle yamen—the Department of International Magic Exchange, where he still held the post of director.

"Is this your Muggle boyfriend?" Old Barty Crouch asked dryly.

"Uh... yes." Daniel was surprised that Barty would care about his personal affairs, but he answered the question quite calmly.

"Don't let him wander around Diagon Alley casually." Barty Crouch said in an unacceptable, almost condemning tone.

Perhaps, he also knew that his way of speaking was easy to be misunderstood. After a pause, he reminded awkwardly: "Don't you know how chaotic the world is recently?"

Daniel was extremely surprised to receive such a kind warning from old Batty.

He couldn't help but suppress that formulaic politeness, and sincerely showed a shallow smile, "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Crouch, I will protect him well."

Old Batty didn't speak any more.

The stubborn old man didn't care much about whether Daniel really thanked him. He maintained that cold expression, slowly moved away, and walked towards the potion shop not far away.

From the beginning to the end, Moriarty acted like a normal Muggle, standing by and giggling happily.

He also blinked at Daniel and asked, "Protect me?"

"Yes, yes, as long as you don't cause trouble everywhere." Daniel replied angrily.

He still has doubts about the few cases that caused conflicts between Muggles and wizards, but without evidence, he doesn't want to maliciously speculate on the lovers around him just by guessing.

"What were you talking about just now?" He asked curiously.

"Talking about you." Moriarty turned his head and gave him a bright smile.

"What are you talking about me?"

"He is praising you to me." Moriarty said with a smile, "Praise you for your dedication to the wizarding world."

Daniel was slightly taken aback, unable to control himself, and scratched his head foolishly.

The image of the free-spirited, shrewd and capable patriarch of the ancient wizard family just now was immediately lost by himself.

He was a little smug and said awkwardly, "Uh...I really didn't expect him to praise me...I always thought he hated me...Actually, he didn't...I just...work harder, That's right, work... whatever you want..."

"You're great, baby." Moriarty suddenly praised him so generously.

The pair of beautiful eyes like black grapes stared at Daniel, and he suddenly said seriously: "Honey, what should I do? I want to kiss you."

"Here?" Daniel blinked his blue eyes in surprise, and looked left and right, because Diagon Alley was crowded with people because of another recent discount event at the Black Building.

"Yes."

"Uh...if you insist..." Under Moriarty's almost persistent gaze, Daniel quickly compromised.

He smiled slightly in embarrassment, but in the depths of his blue eyes, there was an almost warm color, "Then you can kiss."

They kissed on the streets of Diagon Alley, and bustling wizards walked past them gently.

Occasionally, the lively ones blew a whistle, and some elderly people smiled kindly, but no one bothered them.

Daniel vaguely remembered the day of the Battle of London, the air was filled with gunpowder smoke and blood, and when he fell from a high altitude, he was actually very scared.

Then, this man jumped up and grabbed him, gripping him tightly, his palms were hot, he leaned out dangerously regardless of most of his body, beads of sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, hitting his face, that The pair of black eyes laughed at him fearlessly and unscrupulously... Obviously... Obviously only a little bit short, and they fell together.

But he said happily: I caught you!

At this point, Moriarty ended the kiss.

He grinned and laughed again, laughing at Daniel who was a little dazed: "Why haven't you made any progress yet?"

"Probably because you didn't teach well." Daniel came back to his senses, and counterattacked not quite admitting defeat.

"Then do you want me to teach you again?" Moriarty smiled, his eyes curved, and the deep black eyes were like the water of a lake under the night, shimmering.

"No, no, no need." Daniel hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Let's go back and talk about it."

He never seemed to be as thick-skinned as the other party in this kind of matter, and he blushed again without saying a word when he was stiff.

Moriarty has never seen a man who is so easily shy, so often when he sees this kind of expression on the other side, he has a kind of evil thought that is ready to move, which belongs to men...

"Then go back now."

"But didn't you say you want to go shopping and go on a date?"

"Changed my mind."

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, there was a sound like fireworks bursting in the air.

The two looked up reflexively.

I saw a huge skeleton composed of countless small green stars suddenly appearing in the midair of Diagon Alley, and a big python emerged from the skull's mouth, as if it had grown a tongue... The skeleton rose higher and higher. The higher it is, the more layers of green smoke lingering around it, making it look extraordinarily gloomy...

Under the bright sunlight, most of the wizards couldn't restrain their fear, and felt chills all over their bodies.

A witch who had just walked out of the commercial building raised her head and saw the mark. She panicked and dropped the set of glass cups she just bought on the ground.

The crackling sound of "哗啦啦——" was like a switch, breaking the silence of Diagon Alley at this moment.

In an instant, screams pierced the sky.
