London is brightly lit at eleven o'clock at night, neon lights are like blood vessels, running through this ancient yet brand new city, three shiny SUVs are stuck in traffic, Song Xin is sitting in the back seat of the car, wearing a light blue sports hoodie Clothes and shorts, with a strong and unyielding posture, shrank behind Logan.

Logan: "..."

Draco said angrily: "As for being so scared? What heinous thing did I do?"

Song Xin shouted, "As for—!"

Then she hid behind Logan and started playing the game. Draco was silent for a moment, and said to the teachers in frustration: "...it's like this, because Hogwarts is far away from London, and I need to go to the train station tomorrow to take the train to get there. We will take care of your accommodation in London tonight."

Song Xin raised her head from the mobile game and asked, "Where do you live? I won't live in a bridge hole!"

Malfoy said violently: "I'm going to cast a spell on you!!"

Song Xin immediately returned to the state of being as quiet as a chicken, holding the mobile phone and lying behind Logan to play games.

Song Xin's nature is very clingy, but this kind of clinginess is different from other girls' Jiao Didi's behavior when they fall in love. She is so clingy that people can't resist it, and she doesn't even realize it, but it's hard not to like her.

The streets of London at night are full of traffic. In the rainy night, the lights dye the rainwater into golden red and emerald green. Song Xin felt motion sick after playing games behind Logan for a while, so she sat upright and lay down on the car window to observe. This city and this country that has stood for thousands of years.

The wheels of the times are running fast, technology is developing day by day, and skyscrapers are rising in the center of every city.The appearance of these buildings is similar, and it is not strange to move this building from this city to the other side of the world. However, in this trend of convergence and modernization, each city still retains their codes.

New York has a century-old Wall Street and Baroque landmarks; Shanghai has the style of old Shanghai, and the alleys of Shikumen;

Song Xin stared out the car window for a long time, then the SUV stopped abruptly and stopped in front of a resplendent international hotel.

Song Xin and the students got out of the car, beside a huge stone sculpture, the hotel was extremely high, brightly lit, and the rain dripped through the long night.

Song Xin said with deep emotion, "You guys are really rich...Hilton."

Malfoy snorted coldly: "We don't bother to live in such a hotel."

Song Xin said poorly, "Then you guys will be richer. Even Hilton uses 'like' to describe it."

Malfoy ignored her, stood next to the Hilton Hotel, took out a wand, counted the numbers on the wall and knocked a few times, and then the bricks on the wall split automatically, revealing a dark courtyard inside.

Song Xin was startled a little: "..."

Draco Malfoy asked, "Aren't you surprised?"

Song Xin thought for a while, and said with a bit of confusion: "There are surprises, but they are more subtle. After all, we are mutants, and we are very unscientific. We are used to seeing unscientific things."

Draco snorted knowingly.

Neville explained to the two teachers heartbroken: "Malfoy... he just has this temper, and it's been like this since we were classmates."

Song Xin said sympathetically, "Then you must have had a hard time."

Neville Longbottom: "Fortunately...he dropped the memory ball my grandma gave me. But after all, we are not from the same academy, so we don't usually meet...but he's actually not bad at heart..."

Song Xin didn't express any objection to that courtyard, but after they walked in, Song Xin was startled.

The entrance of the small yard is dark, and you can't see anything, but when you walk in, there is a strange hole in the sky. In the depths of the yard, there is a tall baroque building among the rose flowers. From the outside, you don't realize that there is such a building here. Large yard - or manor.

Draco said proudly: "This hotel belongs to my family."

Neville patched in a low voice: "—this guy's family is rich."

Song Xin was totally taken aback now, and stammered and asked, "Wow, you... are actually a local tyrant?"

Draco raised his jaw: "Are you surprised?"

Song Xin's mouth ran faster than her brain again, she said: "Of course I was surprised, I thought you were some kind of pheasant..."

Song Xin turned around suddenly and shouted: "——No, no, no, I didn't say anything!"

Draco: "..."

Song Xin was so frightened that she tucked her tail and hid directly behind Logan. Logan waved his hands at Draco, meaning not to bully her.

Draco held his breath and led them into the hotel.

The hotel was brightly lit, Song Xin walked in, and was almost hit in the face by a cup of tea.

But it didn't hit.

Song Xin's eyes widened in surprise, because the cup of tea gracefully drew an arc in the air, and flew precisely into the hand of a woman sitting beside her. She retracted her wand, but the tea did not spill out at all.

The woman smiled and said, "Master Draco, are you here?"

The pen at the front desk was writing by itself, and the woman waved her magic wand, and a stack of forms at the front desk rose into the air, and then flew into everyone's hands accurately and gracefully.

This is magic, Song Xin thought, these things cannot be explained by science - but Song Xin also realized that Qin can also call the watch over with a clatter... Although Qin is not scientific, that's right.

Draco said: "Well - Andresia, arrange the accommodation of these people, they will go to Hogwarts at noon tomorrow, just make sure that these people live comfortably during their stay here."

The woman looked serious, and asked complicatedly: "...Master, are you serious about participating in this farce of the Ministry of Magic?"

Draco frowned, and said indifferently: "Pay attention to your wording, Andresia. It will take time to prove whether it is a farce."

The woman named Andresia didn't speak any more, just went back to get an iPad, and like every waiter, she led the group of people up the stairs professionally and gently.

……

That night.

Song Xin felt that more things had happened to her in the past month than in the past 22 years. She observed the whole room with great interest. This room was almost the same as the hotel Song Xin had stayed in before, but it was different in every way.

The bedroom is full of novelty things. The painting on the wall depicts a gentle mother holding a baby. The painting can move, and the baby is rolling around in the painting.Song Xin tried to talk to them, and the little mother was busy coaxing the baby, so Song Xin lay there quietly and observed them.

A warning sign was posted in front of the bed: 'Please do not cast the Flying Charm on large objects in the room! ’, the strange-looking house elf knocked on the door and asked Song Xin if she wanted room service——Song Xin politely declined.

This is a world very similar to the one Song Xin lived in for 22 years before, but completely different.

Song Xin unpacked five or six packs of 'know how to make tea' teabags in the guest room. Those teabags were crowded into the water cup as if they were fighting, and the teacup was bumped by those teabags. Take out the phone and record a picture.

Then Song Xin's stomach let out a deafening 'grunt'.

Song Xin: "..."

Song Xin heartbrokenly realized that she was really hungry. After all, airplane meals are airplane meals, which satisfy the most basic survival needs of people. They are the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, not to mention the legendary United Airlines. Soul Dining offered.

There is a knife on the head of the hungry word, a knife.Song Xin rubbed her stomach, immediately abandoned a room full of mysterious magic products, and went downstairs to look for food.

The night was dark, the rain gradually stopped, and the water droplets on the leaves rolled down.

Song Xin came down from upstairs, and the sounds of arguing came from the well-decorated lobby of the hotel.

In the hall, Draco sat on the sofa and said sullenly: "—then you plan to hide like a mouse for the rest of your life with those old antiques from the Ministry of Magic? Take the child to the street, and a child needs a magical accident even if he sneezes in the supermarket Come with the disaster department to deal with the aftermath?"

Andresia said neither humble nor overbearing: "But this is the rule of the Ministry of Magic and our society for six to seven hundred years, young master."

"No matter what the Ministry of Magic is arguing about this matter, they have been arguing for decades or even centuries. I don't think you should get involved. Besides, this is communicating with a group of...mutated Muggles?"

Draco said indifferently: "It has lasted for thousands of years, but it doesn't mean it is right."

Andresia opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But Draco raised his eyes and saw Song Xin standing on the stairs.

Song Xin: "..."

Her first reaction when she met Draco, a young wizard, was to run for her life.However, Song Xin deserved to be the leader in the unlucky world. She stepped forward, tripped with her left foot and fell down with a chirping sound.

Song Xin: "...Woo..."

Song Xin climbed up firmly again, the pain was so painful that she was about to cry, she didn't know what she was running, maybe she was running a race against Hong Kong Ji - then Song Xin's stomach sounded bowel sounds, and she was still eating. to eat.

Draco raised his hand, signaling Andresia to be quiet, and then walked towards Song Xin.

Song Xin shouted in panic, "Don't come here!"

Draco: "..."

Draco said angrily: "I've never seen such a coward like you!"

Song Xin limped down the stairs, ignoring Draco's provocation, and crawled out to eat supper.

The corner of Draco's eyes twitched, he followed her a few steps, and asked her, "What are you doing?"

Song Xin said, "Go eat, I'm hungry."

Draco: "Are you rich?"

Song Xin said disgustedly: "Don't underestimate Alipay! Real-time exchange rate, you can pay by scanning the QR code. How can you have no money to eat?"

Draco laughed: "Forget it, I'll eat something too, and go with you, don't you mind?"

"Yes." Song Xin was so hungry that she couldn't think, but she turned the gears twice in her mind, and nervously started to patch again: "Can you put down the wand? I'm afraid you'll stuff my socks."

Draco said coldly: "I can't tell, your brain is still turning very fast."

Song Xin was so hungry that her eyes turned green, she couldn't care less about trying to please Draco, and said angrily, "Isn't that for sure! I'm good at studying!"

Draco Malfoy threw the wand to Andresia, and the wand drew a beautiful arc in the air, and Andresia grabbed it firmly.

In an instant, the huge crystal chandelier hanging in the hall rotated, and the ground was illuminated by a prism with colorful colors.

"——It has lasted for thousands of years, but it doesn't mean it is right." Andrecia repeated, with a complicated expression: "...Master Draco, it's strange. In my lifetime, I can actually be in a Malfoy's Hearing such words."

Draco Malfoy did not take Song Xin to the entrance where he came and went, but led him in another direction. Subconsciously, Song Xin probably regarded Draco as a flirt, and wished to call 110 for his behavior. , Just like Gandhi who discriminated against Indians against whites on the train in the 19th century, Song Xin resisted Draco wordlessly.

Draco could only explain:

"That's a Muggle street."

Song Xin didn't understand what a Muggle was, and asked warily, "Is this the street of Huagua?"

Draco snorted coldly, and said coolly: "What kind of flower melon? People without culture—this side is the street for wizards. Muggle is our word for people who don't know magic and have no magical aptitude."

Song Xin sharply said: "Malfoy, put away your attitude of looking down on Muggles! Although we mutants are also Muggles, we are super capable and fierce!"

Draco: "..."

Draco looked at Song Xin with complicated emotions.Song Xin ignored that look, and said sadly, "Oh, it's already summer, I really want to eat the little melons from my hometown."

Draco said: "...I'll buy it for you if I see it later."

Song Xin said decisively and arrogantly: "No, I'm rich! Don't think you can use Huagua to make me submit! I'm not a woman who can be bought by Huagua!"

Song Xin's stomach grunted, and her arrogance and arrogance lost half immediately. She rubbed her stomach and said aggrievedly, "...I'm much more expensive."

Song Xin said in a low voice, "...At least I have to have a Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice."

……

The information revolution occurred in the 70s, and the sensation it caused was not so great. The third industrial revolution changed the world subtly but irreversibly.At that time, no one expected that precisely because of it—the reason for the information revolution—the money that was once linked to real money and had to be supported by a gold standard to ensure currency stability would be replaced by electronic money.

Song Xin has always been convinced of this fact. It wasn't until she bought a cheese-stuffed herb chicken steak in London's Diagon Alley that she realized that the above paragraph had to be added with an attributive term: Muggle society.

At least the currency revolution brought about by the information revolution has nothing to do with the wizarding society.

PayPal and Alipay, which have always boasted that they have a complete business and are about to save the world, have not expanded their business to Diagon Alley.

……

Song Xin: "..."

The proprietress of the booth was wearing a gray witch hat, she raised five fingers to Song Xin and said, "Jiuxike."

Song Xin was confused: "... Huh? No, it's not British pounds...? It's not euros either?"

Draco: "That's Muggle currency, not ours."

Song Xin's stomach grumbled, and she almost cried when looking at the chicken chops. When she was hungry, she realized that she couldn't afford the big chicken chops in front of her. Song Xin wanted to fight with Draco by pulling her hair.

The proprietress witch called her: "Little girl?...Little girl? What's the matter?"

Song Xin humiliated and asked in a low voice: "...Can, can I pay the bill in pounds?"

Landlady: "Cash, £2.5—"

"...But, can I scan the QR code?" Song Xin didn't bring any money, and asked hopefully.

The proprietress wondered: "I'm sorry dear, we can't."

Song Xin wanted to kneel down on the spot and beg the proprietress to take the money, but it was of no use. The result of her not accepting electronic money would not change.Just when Song Xin was so desperate that she wanted to burst into tears, Draco took out a shiny gold Galleon and handed it over.Then the proprietress quickly found the change, and handed Song Xin the chicken chop that exuded the aroma of herbs.

When Song Xin was holding the delicious chicken chop, Draco in his eyes grew taller for the first time!

Draco is shining golden now!Even covered in Buddha's light...

Draco said unnaturally: "Originally, you don't take your money here, you have to go to Gringotts to exchange it. Five pounds equals one Galleon... Galleons are the gold coins just now, and one Galleon is seventeen Sickles. "

Song Xin completely ignored Draco's explanation, gnawed on the chicken chop and said seriously: "You are so kind, I will treat you to dinner."

Draco's face turned red to the point of bleeding...

Song Xin gnawed several pieces of chicken, and finally filled his stomach, but his face suddenly changed: "Wait, how many Sickles are you saying a Galleon is?"

Draco was unconsciously sent a good person card by Song Xin. At this time, his face was still flushed, and he looked away unnaturally: "Ten...seventeen."

Song Xin was so scared that the chicken chops dropped: "...Seventeen?!"

Draco was at a loss: "What's wrong with seventeen? The value is linked to the exchange rate of gold and silver outside, so there's no problem—"

Song Xin couldn't accept it and said: "...Oh my god... that one cent is equal to seventeen low-level currency? One Galleon will be equal to 280 nine..."

Draco still didn't understand what she was struggling with: "No, one Sickle is equal to 29 nats, copper coins."

Song Xin: "..."

Song Xin said heartbrokenly, "In your society, science must be developing like shit."

Draco frowned: "Why?"

Song Xin asked: "Do you still need to think about it?"

Song Xin couldn't believe it, and even condemned: "——you don't use the decimal system!"

Draco: "??!"

Go shopping with people with a GPA4.0, and you may find that their brain circuits are different from ordinary people.

……

Song Xin and Ren's unilateral feud was fast, and unilateral reconciliation was also fast. When she was full, Draco, the original flirtatious villain in her eyes, was no different from an angel.

After eating and drinking, Song Xin relaxed and said, "...Malfoy, I think you have a halo on your head."

Draco: "No, thank you."

Song Xin gnawed on the popcorn ice cream, smiling like a little flower.Diagon Alley in the middle of the night is still noisy, full of voices, people coming and going.

Draco hit her: "You can eat."

Song Xin patted her stomach and said seriously: "Girls can eat, how can it be called edible! That's called weak and needs more nutrition."

Draco snorted through his nose, Song Xin rubbed his eyes and yawned softly.

Draco Malfoy's face turned red again: "If you're sleepy, I'll take you back to sleep."

Song Xin shook her head in a daze to indicate that she wasn't sleepy. She ate half of her popcorn ice cream, and Song Xin propped her chin to watch the people coming and going on the street.

A cry came from outside the ice cream parlor: "Five Sickles an ounce of premium octopus sucker..."

"Muggles should be forbidden to come to this street, right?" Song Xin asked softly, "We mutants should not be allowed either."

Draco snorted and said, "You still have some brains. This is an exchange program jointly organized by the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. If it wasn't, someone will knock you down now and erase your understanding of magic." all memories."

Song Xin said blankly: "...So this is true?"

Draco: "Yeah."

Song Xin smiled and said, "It's amazing."

Draco said coolly, "I don't know much about you Muggles."

Song Xin said: "Although your society can't even understand the beauty of decimal, and binary is useless, even so, I still think this place is great, very good."

Draco: "..."

Song Xin smiled and said, "I hope that one day you will be able to understand the rhythmic beauty of mathematics."

Draco was not poor, he just sat on a chair and said to Song Xin: "But this street, and us, have to hide, hide, and not be discovered by outsiders."

"—Hundreds of years." Draco said: "Magic has been far away from the life of every Muggle. From the time when the Holy See exterminated wizards in the Middle Ages, to the establishment of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, we have cultivated a large number of talents who remember magic. So far... for six or seven hundred years, we have been hiding in Tibet."

Song Xin looked at him suspiciously.

Draco said: "If our existence is announced, what will we wizards face? The answer is unknown, but we know that society will progress, but humanity will not."

Human nature can't, Song Xin thought, really can't?

"Now the Ministry of Magic is divided into two factions, and one faction wants to negotiate with the outside world and announce its existence." Draco said.

Song Xin nodded in confusion.

Draco said: "The other faction thinks that we should stick to the status quo. We have lived in peace for six to seven hundred years, and we shouldn't pierce the window paper at this time."

Song Xin asked suspiciously: "Then you are...?"

Draco asked, "Me?"

Draco said, "I've been proud of being a wizard since I was little."

Draco Malfoy didn't continue talking, he paused, and asked Song Xin, "Would you like some of the waffles here?"

Song Xin's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Eat! Eat! You are so kind! I will treat you to dinner, Malfoy—"

At that moment, the wind and rain passed through the street in the long night, and it was obviously midsummer, but Song Xin shivered suddenly, as if she was going to be in bad luck.

"Aren't you afraid of him now?" A man's voice came from behind him, "Song Xin?"

Song Xin's whole body seemed to be electrified, and she paused suddenly.

——That was the first time Wolverine called Song Xin by her full name, not a child.
