HP's Foreign Land

one,

The car is parked outside Diagon Alley, and after getting off the car, walk for about ten minutes and turn into the Leaky Cauldron, and then enter Diagon Alley.Parking the car near the alley is too big of a goal, although there are no wizard patrolmen in charge of security now, squatting around for a little trivial matter and watching.

Victor looked at the quiet and wide street where debris was flying everywhere, and murmured, "Business is not very good."

Along the way, Quidditch boutiques, Mrs. Malkin's robe specialty store, Lihen Bookstore, Yila Owl Store, etc. closed their doors to thank customers, and some shops didn't even close their doors.

The glass windows on both sides of the road were broken from time to time, the furnishings inside were crumbling, and the goods that hadn't been collected in time were in a mess in the dark shop, and the shopkeepers seemed to be leaving in a hurry.Heimdall had seen the hectic Diagon Alley and the wizarding shopping street that was still orderly after dark, but the scene in front of him was beyond imagination.

"It's more than 'not so good'." Heimdall, who had worked hard for many years in the era of Diagon Alley, felt very uncomfortable in the face of this situation. In his memory, Diagon Alley can never be separated from a "noisy "Fortunately, I didn't bring the child. Heimdall smiled helplessly.

The Diagon Alley he once described to Mionnell was not the dilapidated appearance it is now. For safety reasons, the two left the child in Grimmer Square, under the care of Snape and Sirius.Under the influence of the little papa, Mionier yearned for the legendary Wizarding Street that carried his father's childhood life. After being told clearly that the milk baby who was left behind in Grimmer Square watched the two fathers sullenly with his mouth pouted, thinking of this Mundar was extremely grateful.

Victor embraced Heimdall's shoulders and responded silently.

The Weasley Joke Store is located at No. 93 Diagon Alley. The playful facade decoration and colorful colors have become a unique landscape in Diagon Alley, which has been surrounded by haze for many days.The couple looked at the joke shop with people coming and going from a distance, and the surrounding houses and storefronts were blurred by contrast.

The layout of the joke store is as eye-catching as the facade decoration, with colorful lighting, brightly colored merchandise, unique racks, and sample baskets flying around.The moment he entered the door, Victor nimbly dodged an oncoming orange basket; Heimdall was not so lucky, the pink bag trailing behind the orange basket covered his face with a muffled shock. The call sounded from behind the cloth bag.

Immediately, unscrupulous laughter came from his ears.

Heimdall became furious and tore off the cloth bag on his face: "Fred! George!"

"Oh man, it's not our fault, you just happened to be standing on the flight track of the merchandise." The twins' voices came from overhead.

"Damn flight track! Don't quibble!"

Above Heimdall was the dark wooden plank. He walked a few steps into the house under Victor's signal and then turned around. He saw the long and narrow walkway built above the gate and the handrails erected on the edge of the walkway—on the handrails squatted and inserted With the Q-shaped brains made in the shape of twins, the ears and mouth will breathe fire when pulled, and it is said that it is also a commodity. A staircase connecting the first and second floors is built at the left and right ends of the aisle.

At this time, several people, including the twins, looked down at them from a height and smiled.

The twins' eyes were full of jokes, and they winked coquettishly from time to time.

Fred shrugged innocently, "I'm serious." The orange basket was in his hand.

Heimdall straightened his face, "Hi, Bill, Miss Delacour."

Victor followed closely behind, handing over his greetings.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother and future sister-in-law of the Weasley family were also in the store, and the two things that flew over before were prepared for them?Heimdall hurriedly passed the cloth bag up.

"Hello, Rig, Krum," Bill responded to their friendship on behalf of his girlfriend, and the two walked down the stairs hand in hand, a pair of beautiful couples. "It's a pleasure to see you all here."

"I thought I'd see you at Grimmer Square." Heimdall and Bill clapped their hands together.

"I want to spend more time with Fleur." Bill shook hands with Victor again.

Delacour is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix. The current base camp of the Order of the Phoenix cannot allow anyone to come and go at will. The Weasleys seem to have lived in Grimmer Square for a long time, so the Burrow must no longer be safe.Bill's company is a kind of thoughtfulness. Fleur traveled thousands of miles away from home to pursue her husband in England. Bill couldn't ignore a girl whose family was not familiar with her.

"We are very much looking forward to the wedding next spring." The master is not to mention how upright and gentleman he is.

Bill and Furong looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and their affection was expressed in silence.

Bill volunteered to be their guide, and the twins feared nothing but respected their eldest brother, and were happy to leave acquaintances to entertain other guests.A group of people went up to the second floor and stood in front of a brown-red cabinet. There were open lattice shelves on the cabinet, each of which was half-filled. When they picked up the products on the shelves, they turned out to be various letter papers.

Fleur didn't speak much, quietly followed behind her boyfriend, and had nothing but Bill in her eyes.

"I haven't seen Ginny since I came, isn't she in England?" Heimdall asked.

"Ginny's at Charlie's, and that girl has a sudden interest in dragons," Bill said.

The undertones help Charlie recruit members of the Order of the Phoenix from abroad.

"Where do you live now?" Victor tried to chat with Bill to enhance friendship.

Although the master has not removed Bill Weasley from the list of "potential rivals in love", the news that Bill is about to get married still makes the master's mood fly to the sky as if he has grown wings.When I was at home, I didn't feel much, but at this time, facing the living people, the feeling of flying was very sour.

Bill rubbed his nose, "We live in the store."

"Joke shop?"

Bill nodded.

Victor and Heimdall were a little surprised.

"Fleur and I have applied to Gringotts for housing, but have not received an answer," Bill explained.

In order to get close to her sweetheart in all aspects, Fu Rong applied for a job at Gringotts without hesitation after arriving in England—working for a goblin.Working for non-wizards in the wizarding world has always been despised by blood supremacists, who think it is self-degradation and self-destruction, and they are extremely resistant to it.

However, the relationship between the two has gradually warmed up and leaped during the work at Gringotts. Being with her sweetheart day and night has made Fu Rong's English level a qualitative leap, and now reading and writing are not a problem.

Although Gringotts is run by goblins, there are many wizards working under it, so some benefits for wizard employees have been introduced, including applying for housing.Bill and Fleur are both employees of Gringotts. Logically speaking, the procedures should be approved soon, and they should have moved into the new apartment long ago. Unfortunately, Britain is now in an extraordinary period...

"Gringotts in Diagon Alley looks like it hasn't been open for a long time," says Heimdall.

On the way to the joke store, I passed the white building. The bronze door, which was usually polished to a bright spot, was closed tightly. For the goblin guard in gold uniform, a pillar in front of the door was broken and collapsed aside, gravel and white ash were scattered everywhere.

Bill snickered, "It does look like that."

"What do you mean?"

"Gringotts is still in business, and the goblins have changed their opening hours, moving it from after 2 o'clock at night to before 6 o'clock in the morning. Besides, Gringotts has not been attacked frontally."

"What we saw was an illusion? The goblins broke the pillars themselves?" Heimdall couldn't help but laugh.

Bill smiled and said, "That's right."

That being the case...

"The elves don't want to lend you a house?" Heimdall asked again.

"Actually, I've seen a few sets, but I'm not very satisfied." Bill was a little embarrassed.

Brother Weasley grew up in the Burrow, traveled to many places, and experienced a lot of hardships. How far have the goblins pretended to be, and Bill couldn't bear it?

"Honey, you don't have to feel ashamed, it's the goblins who are bad." Fu Rong said firmly.

On this point, Heimdall believes that Bill is not a picky person who does not know what is good and what is bad.

"And now? Continue to apply?" Heimdall asked.

Bill shook Fleur's little hand, "The Joke Store is not a home after all. You can't live in George and Fred's store all the time. It's really not possible. Fleur and I plan to choose a location to build a new house."

The reason why Bill considered the employee housing provided by goblins is because they can get the protection of goblins. Goblins can't be kind to wizards, but most of them have a clear distinction between public and private. Anyone who signs a contract to become an employee of Gringotts, goblins will do their best. It can protect its employees from harassment, so as not to affect work emotions, and then affect work performance.Gringotts also has evaluations, and there is also competition among the presidents of various industries.

Gringotts is called the second safest place in the world after Hogwarts by British wizards. The wizards believe in this statement. For centuries, Gringotts has indeed been impregnable, and the property of wizards has not been damaged. Through damage such as theft, robbery, etc., it is conceivable that the goblins have powerful protective spells.

Therefore, the staff housing provided by goblins is sought after by wizards working in Gringotts. The housing addresses are scattered, large and small, and the conditions are uneven. Fortunately, they are safe enough.

"Is it because there are too many applicants and it's not your turn?" Victor also thought of this.

"Maybe." Bill smiled wryly, "It's better than being ignored."

"If you don't mind, let me inquire for you." Heimdall said enthusiastically.

"Of course I don't mind." Bill actually found a goblin aristocrat, who had been in touch with him because of work, and he had a little friendship, but...no result.Bill was moved by Heimdall's enthusiasm. He didn't say anything depressing, and he was grateful no matter what the result was.

It is better to hit the sun than choose the day, Heimdall immediately shouted: "George! Fred!"

"Come here!" A small winged mirror flew in front of them, and George's face flashed in the mirror, "We are very busy now, and Ron is late again, so we decided to teach him a lesson. Obligations and responsibilities!" A look of sharpening a knife.

"I'm not interested in how you discipline your employees. Is there a fireplace here that can be hooked up to the outside?" Heimdall asked.

"In England," said George. "The Ministry of Magic's investigation is particularly tight this year. International routes must be notified in advance and used within the allowed time period."

"Can Scotland connect?"

"no problem."

"Where is the fireplace?"

"In our office." The twins brought up a wind-up bird from downstairs. "Follow Luxi, she knows the way."

And they named the wind-up bird?

Looking at the silly bird flapping its short wings, Heimdall said, "Your Lu Xi looks familiar."

"Don't worry about those details." The twins said in unison.

Most of the alchemy products sold in the joke shop were made by a wizard named Heimdall Strulusson. The twins occasionally improved the original basis to make them closer to life.The so-called closeness to life of the twins is to give their merchandise a unique temperament of "Weasley tricks".

"I'll come as I go." Heimdall smiled at everyone.

Brother Weasley was embarrassed, but he was really anxious to solve the housing problem, so he nodded his thanks without being pretentious.

"Nurem is in Scotland." The master's thoughts turned quickly.

"Correct."

"He still takes business from England?"

"He went to watch Quidditch. You know, the Irish team performed well in this World Cup." The performance of the Irish team in the last World Cup also made fans feel safe. Compared with the England team in recent years The results in international competitions are really shabby, and the team's ranking has slipped to the end of the league's first phalanx.

"In that case, shouldn't he go to Ireland?" The master was confused.

Heimdall said in a low voice: "Nurem thinks there are good goalkeepers in Scotland."

Isn't the goalkeeper's hometown Wales?The master smiled calmly, and Heimdall replied with "I know you will understand" in his eyes. In fact, the master didn't understand at all. The master felt that his IQ was poor, and there seemed to be no causal relationship between these few words. The master continued to calmly maintain his demeanor, patted Heimdall on the shoulder, and said nothing.

After Heimdall left, Victor continued to visit other products under the leadership of Bill and Fleur. Bill would say some digressions about wedding preparations during the introduction.Wizards all over Britain knew that the Weasleys were poor, and Bill didn't intend to let his parents pay for it. He and Fleur discussed using only their existing savings.

"In some places, if you don't blindly pursue fashion, you can save a lot of money." Victor has his experience. "You can go to the local grocery street and have a look, there will be unexpected gains." The part of his and Lige's wedding is not extravagant, after all, it has to be considered for the elders who are ready to smash Garen at any time. In addition, Lige Ge used his spare time to travel to large-scale grocery stores in Central Europe and Northern Europe. According to Lige, it is cheap, high-quality and plentiful, and the boss’s condom comes with a lot of gifts. If you get more familiar with it, you can customize it according to your preferences. ,why not?

Bill and Fleur listened so carefully that they almost took a quill to write it down.

George walked past them, yelling oh-oh-oh, as the store gathered a lot of customers, mostly young adults and some preschoolers.The twins shuttled swiftly through the store, and the alchemy items that had been made into assistants were about to collapse.

If there is a house elf, the shop will be much more relaxed.But Victor didn't say that. He asked Bill, "Isn't Ron coming today?"

"It's not Ron's work time yet," Bill said, looking at the clown clock with his tongue sticking out in the store. "Half an hour."

Brother Ronald rarely comes to the store in advance to guard.

"Business is good, and you're not timid." After Victor finished speaking, he picked up a bottle of pink liquid medicine suspended in mid-air. The love potion that got what you want The master knew very well what it was, and put the bottle back. Unlike the guests around who were fascinated by this imitation fragrance, he remained awake from the beginning to the end.Bill and Fleur are also unaffected.

At this time Heimdall came back, and he handed a note to Bill, pretending to be complacent, and announced with his chin raised: "You have fulfilled your mission."

Bill took it and exchanged delighted glances with Fleur.

Heimdall went on to say: "Tomorrow we will meet with Nurem at the location written on the paper. Do you still have any memory of Nurem? The president of Gringotts in Turkey, my financial advisor... Just remember, he will meet you at the appointed time." The location is waiting for you. In addition, Nulun asked me to ask you, do you only consider the territory of the UK?"

Bill and Fleur were deep in thought. To be honest, Fleur didn't mind living outside the UK. For her, it was pretty much the same outside of France. As long as she was with Bill, anywhere was a pure land of bliss.

"President Newland is going to take us to another country?" Bill hesitated.

"Nurem is the person in charge of Gringotts in Turkey, and he has limited resources in the UK. Tomorrow, you can take a look at housing in the UK first, and then go abroad."

Bill glanced at Fleur and nodded in agreement.

"I don't know how to thank you," Bill said.

"Don't forget to treat us to a meal after you move to a new house." Heimdall said with a smile.

two,

Heimdall and Victor declined the repeated attempts of the twins and Brother Weasley, and left the joke shop. They left just in time for Ron's work time, and Brother Ronald asked them what they were going to do next. Where to go, got the answer from the two-person world, Brother Ronald recalled the coughing of his elder brother, his face turned red and he said a lot about Mionier.

Heimdall glanced at Victor, who walked away first pretending to be ignorant, leaving a relatively private space for the two to talk.When Bill saw it, he turned his head and went back to the store.

"What's the matter?" Ron wasn't a complete madman. He felt something strange. He had experienced a lot after leaving school, he was a lot smarter, and he grew up a lot.

"Ron, to be honest, you don't plan on working in the joke shop until you retire, do you?" Heimdall cut to the chase.

Ron was taken aback, then scratched the side of his neck, and said with some embarrassment: "I want to be an Auror like Harry."

"Then why didn't you sign up for training with Harry in the first place?" Although their time in Grimmer Place was short, Heimdall was willing to bet his small coffers that members of the Order of the Phoenix gave Harry Potter Work alone, consolidating his magic and refining his technique.Whenever "Harry is missing", the complex emotions on Ron's face and the subsequent restlessness are obvious. Maybe the adults have noticed, but this is Ron's own life, and even Mrs. Weasley can't Take the idea of ​​his life for him.

"I still have a chance. The Auror training camp has not yet officially accepted registration, and the start time has not yet been determined." Ron muttered.

In extraordinary times, there are always unsatisfactory things of one kind or another, so why does the Order of the Phoenix give Harry a separate treatment?

"Are you going to sign up?"

"I have no idea……"

"Why don't you know?"

Ron scratched his face, "Do you think I can do it?"

"I think you are very good, no worse than Harry. It is indeed irritating that you are easy to be ignored for granted when you are around Harry, but this cannot be an excuse to deny your ability. I don't say this because of me and your relationship. The relationship is stronger than the relationship with Harry, I don't want to see my friend miss the opportunity to show his talents, you are not useless, Ron Weasley, don't belittle yourself."

Ron looked dazed.

When Heimdall walked away from the door, he turned around inadvertently, and saw the twins waving at him from inside the wide open door, George raised his retractable ears in his hands, Fred gestured to him as his thumb, and Bill smiled beside him.

It was Weasley's trick again, and the process of becoming a bosom brother was overheard.

Heimdall responded by shaking his hand without changing his face, and then walked towards Victor not far away.

three,

Ollivander, a wand shop founded in 382 BC.

The painted gold signboard is still there, but it has been deformed at this time, and it is no longer on the door, leaning against the mottled outer wall.

The wand shop is the highlight of today's trip.

The wand shop seems to have been attacked once. The window glass where the display items were originally displayed was blown to pieces. One of the cleanest items...

Heimdall frowned and watched intently. Victor thought he was in love with the scene. As a result, Heimdall took a step and used magic to remove the broken glass scattered in the window, as well as the erected glass shards. He bent down and ducked in. .

People's safety is much more important than things, why worry about an object.

Victor raised the corner of his mouth, and followed him into it.

The storefront was still narrow, but it was much brighter than usual because of the blasted outer walls and windows. Heimdall waved his wand and lit the chandelier above his head.The room was in a mess, except for broken stone and glass, there were obvious traces of being rummaged. The intruder did not use magic. The cabinet where the old man Ollivander used to store his wand was safe and sound, but the wand box was scattered all over the floor.

For a moment Heimdall thanked the outlaw for his caution.

He quickly cleared a path, and Victor rushed to do rough and heavy work. Heimdall didn't show courtesy to him, and asked him to clear the grids marked B and C, and then knocked through the partition connecting grids B and C.Victor found that the partition was empty, and he took out a wand case from it.

Heimdall took the box and opened it. At first glance, this box was similar to other wand boxes in the store, with a dirtier and older surface.The date is engraved on the back of the box - September 9th.It was Ollivander's date of birth. Heimdall opened the lid of the box, and there was a hornbeam wand lying in the simple box.

"Why did Mr. Ollivander leave his wand here?" Victor asked.

"Mister is in danger," Heimdall took a deep breath and closed the lid. "Let's go out and talk."

When the two came outside the store, Heimdall glanced around nonchalantly. It seemed that there were no watchers around, but he couldn't relax his vigilance.Assuming that no one is really watching, does it mean the old man... Heimdall refuses to think about it.

Heimdall said: "The status of the Ollivander family in the wand world is extraordinary and has almost become a weather vane. Mr. Ollivander himself is also an internationally renowned expert on wands. According to these regulations, he applied to the International Police Force for secret protection a year ago. Later, due to the particularity of the British Ministry of Magic in the international arena, the International Police Force was unable to send people in to respond. They have been trying to negotiate with the British Ministry of Magic. The Ministry dismissed it on the grounds of 'interfering in the affairs of other countries'.

"The old man wrote a letter later. In the letter, he told that if the international police force lost contact with him, he would leave a clue in the store. He didn't specify what the clue was. It may be for safety reasons, or it may be because..."

"It may also be because the old man has already told someone the answer." Victor said.

Heimdall smiled wryly, "I don't have any clue about the clues after I get the wand." He tightened the box in his hand, "I may be busy for a while."

This time I came to the UK with my partner not just to visit relatives and friends.

Victor looked like a good husband in the new century, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the kids."

Heimdall put away his wand and held Victor's hand with a smile.

"Aren't you going to Knockturn Alley?" Victor said.

"No, Knockturn Alley is less safe than Diagon Alley. I know where to find old friends."

four,

Dodoma's observation diary, the content is as follows——

dearest master,

Dodoma knew that Master Lige was a person who wanted to do great things. In order to keep the young master full of energy and perfect appearance anytime and anywhere, Dodoma never pretended to take care of the young master after arriving in England. Kreacher No matter how angry Dodoma is, he will never give in.It is true that Kreacher is an old guy, but Dodoma is no longer young, and the rhetoric of respecting the old and loving the young does not work on Dodoma.

The enthusiastic Dobby does not compete with Dodoma for jobs. Dobby prefers to take care of the great Master Potter. Greatness is Dobby's catchphrase. Please forgive the master. Dodoma seems to be influenced by Dobby.

The young master walked down the stairs wearing the uniform of the International Police Force and the matching black cloak in the morning. The young master's friend, the young master of the Weasley family, was stunned and drank pumpkin juice into his nose.The young master of the Weasley family wiped his face in a panic. He thought no one noticed, so the master must keep it a secret for Dodoma.

The young master of the Weasley family looked preoccupied until he went out.

My most beloved master, Dodoma solemnly asks for your forgiveness. The report that Doduo will return immediately is not to complain to you that you have too much work to do, so please be sure to explain the situation to Master Lange, and be sure to decline Master Lange’s recommendation of your elf The proposal to come to the UK to share work for Dodoma, and Dodoma is grateful to Master Lange for being considerate of Dodoma. Dodoma is full of energy and does not feel tired at all, and does not need the help of other elves.

Master, can I get your understanding for saying this?If you can’t refuse, Master Long really intends to send another elf, please choose Master Snow’s cheese, saying this may make Master Snow difficult, Dodoma has always felt that Master Snow cannot do without elf, Zeng Zeng Great-grandmother can witness Dodoma's loyalty, don't, don't let that who... come!

Master, about Hina... really can't discuss it anymore?
