[Comprehensive English and American] The years I opened a grocery store in Queens

Steve said to gather at the barbecue restaurant at 07:30, which was Captain America's order, but Isabella was not only late, but also absent.

A mighty snow-white owl brought her a letter, and the letter fell in front of Isabella, turning into a big mouth, and read aloud in a rigid and serious tone:

Miss Isabella Xavier

After testing, you abused magic in the Muggle world, violated the rules and regulations of the wizarding world, and brought the entire wizarding world into a huge threat. You are now ordered to return to the Ministry of Magic immediately and accept the sanction.

Department of Magic Law Enforcement

This is a notification letter, which was automatically torn into shreds after the belief was finished.

In 1692, the International Union of Wizards passed the magical secrecy clause and decided to completely isolate the wizarding world from the Muggle world.

Every wizard is responsible for keeping the existence of the wizarding world from non-magic groups.

But the terms are dead. Every year in the Muggle world, children with magical talents are admitted to the magic school. They are the children selected by Merlin, so their Muggle family and friends will also know the existence of the entire wizarding world.

It doesn't matter, as long as people haven't seen magic with their own eyes, they only think of the wizarding world as something in a fairy tale book. If the wizard's Muggle family spreads it around, it will be regarded as nonsense, but Isabella fought in New York. In it, people saw the power of magic with their own eyes.

When the frightened crowd came back to their senses, they would use various methods to find out who the red-haired witch who showed supernatural powers in the battle was and where she came from. At that time, the entire magical world would be exposed to the world.

Isabella looked at the pile of debris on the ground, and knew that she had made a big mistake, and she had to go to the trial immediately. If she disobeyed the order or delayed a little, it would not be an owl but a dementor who came.

The Ministry of Magic all over the world is the same. They are all built in the heart of the city. From the surface, it looks like a very ordinary telephone booth, but you can enter as long as you dial 62442 and explain the reason.

Isabella told her name and reason, and the door of the Ministry of Magic was opened for her. The real Ministry of Magic was built underground. The whole building has the architectural style of the Victorian era in the 19th century. The decorations on the body of the building and the doorposts There are many objects, and the walls are covered with simple and solemn black tiles.

People came and went in and out of the Ministry of Magic, and no one paid attention to Isabella, but as soon as she stepped through the gate, two ghosts appeared, strangled her hands, put handcuffs and shackles on her, and arrest signs were posted on the wall. Isabella's notice, she was designated as a first-degree criminal, and the moving pictures next to her showed her specific crimes.

The next day, the headline on the front page of the "Daily Prophet" read: Isabella, the first-degree criminal, voluntarily surrendered. How many ulterior motives are hidden behind this?

Arrest notices were posted all over the wall, and Isabella watched her demeanor in the New York War from the perspective of a bystander, and was escorted all the way to the cell.

The cell is divided into four floors, which are accessed by a huge wooden spiral staircase. The first two floors are full of howling and crying, accompanied by two laughter from time to time, like all kinds of ghosts in hell are gathered in one place, it sounds very impressive It was creepy, and when I walked past it, I could see the lightning flashing inside.

Isabella was locked on the third floor. The first two floors were already appalling. She couldn't help but wonder what the third floor would be like, but the third floor was obviously much cleaner, and the echoes of the first two floors could still be heard at the door. , the further you go in, the quieter it becomes.

The third floor is actually for detaining prisoners with minor crimes and waiting for trial. Prisoners with minor crimes will be detained for a few days as a warning and will be released to undergo compulsory labor reform to reduce their crimes. Prisoners awaiting trial are only temporarily held here. After going to the magic court for a formal trial, they will be sent to prisons on different floors according to their guilt.

Isabella is a first-degree criminal. When she accepts the verdict of the magic court and her guilt is officially established, she will be sent to the fourth floor, which is where the most serious criminals are held.

On the left and right sides of the cell are prisoners awaiting trial and prisoners with lesser crimes. They are divided into different compartments, each with a numbered identification. Isabella is locked in No. 223.

There was a narrow bed and an ancient table and chairs in the cell. After Isabella walked in, the ghost floated away.

From the first step of entering the Ministry of Magic to now entering the cell, Isabella was in a trance the whole time. Fights, confessions, and arrests followed one after another. What should I do, I fell on the bed when I saw it.

A good night's sleep.

Isabella opened her eyes and saw the ceiling. There was a momentary short-circuit in her brain. She turned over and almost fell off the bed. Only then did she realize that this was not her big bed with a soft goose down mattress. When she got up and looked around, she realized I have the real feeling that I am about to go to jail.

In cell 221 opposite Isabella lived a black-haired girl, wearing a light-colored prison uniform, half leaning on the bed to doze off.

Isabella's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people. Even at a distance, she can still see the face of the black-haired girl clearly. She has an oval face, and there is a lingering aftertaste of baby fat on her cheeks. Her nose is erect and slightly turned up. The two eyebrows are black and thick, but her skin is very white. Her whiteness is different from Isabella's paleness. Although her skin is as white as snow, she is very radiant, reminiscent of the Snow White in fairy tales.

It is also a kind of comfort to see such a lily-like girl in this cold prison.

Now is not the time to appreciate beauties, she has to worry about herself, the evidence of her crime is overwhelming, and even the smartest lawyer can't refute her, so it seems that her imprisonment is a certainty.

But Isabella's whole heart was held by a pair of big hands, and she didn't panic at all. She had an unreasonable certainty that she would not go to jail.

The girl on the opposite side woke up, she didn't get out of bed, she was still half lying on the bed, rubbing her eyes, her eyeballs were the same color as her hair, like a bunch of black grapes in midsummer.

The third prison was very quiet, no one spoke, Isabella's sleepiness surged up again, and she was in a daze until the elf pushed today's lunch.

Lunch is two toasted waffles and a glass of honey water.

The food was placed on a white porcelain plate. The outermost ring of the waffle was burnt. The honey water looked very light in color. I don’t know how many pots of water a spoonful of honey boiled. It seemed that I had no appetite at all.

The little elves, all with huge eyes and ears, put down their food, glanced at Isabella with their big eyes, and left.

The elves have different personalities, and the two who deliver food to the prisoners are like to gossip.

"Xiangxiang doesn't like Hogwarts, Hogwarts sends a lot of criminals every year!"

"Tiantian doesn't like Hogwarts either, Hogwarts are all villains!"

"Hello!" Two voices said in unison.

Knowing that he was exposed, the elf snapped his fingers and hurriedly disappeared into the prison.

Isabella looked at the girl opposite, and the girl opposite looked at her.

"Are you from Hogwarts too?"

It's the same sentence again.

The two were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. Isabella noticed that the black-haired girl opposite had a pair of beautiful dimples, and she smiled like a pear soaked in water.

"My name is Isabella Xavier."

"Lila," she had already picked up a waffle, squeezed a small piece into her mouth, heard Isabella's self-introduction, chewed and swallowed, and waited until there was nothing in her mouth before introducing herself, " Lila Hoffman, my name is."

"I'm from Ravenclaw, which house are you from?"

"Hufflepuff."

During Isabella's study at Hogwarts, besides her classmates, Hufflepuff classmates got along the most harmoniously. The students in Badger House were not as reckless as Lion House, nor as proud as Snake House. They were the best. Get along with a wave of people.

Isabella and Laila are not familiar with each other, but meeting here can be regarded as an acquaintance in a foreign land, and they talk a lot.

"How did you get locked in?"

The little girl Laila spoke slowly, and she didn't look like a person who would do bad things.

"There was an old lady who greedily ate the magic cake I made, and some abnormalities appeared in her body."

"There is something wrong with her body, is she sick?"

"That's not true," Lyra shook her head, "it's just that she's gotten a little too young."

How can one not be puzzled that an elderly lady turned back into a young girl after eating five cakes in a row.

"how about you?"

"Speaking of me, my crime is serious. The notice letter to me stated that I have brought a huge threat to the entire magic world."

Laila was startled when she heard this: "Ah?! Then will you be imprisoned for a long time?"

Isabella wanted to tell Laila that she didn't think she would go to jail, but couldn't explain why, so she shrugged. "Maybe, who knows!"

"If I really want to be locked up, I will escape from prison."

Isabella uttered the word "prison break", and a bolt of lightning was issued in the prison.

Laila put her finger to her mouth to signal her to be silent, her curled eyelashes fluttering.

Isabella's hearing was held three days later, and during these three days she was watched closely, and the number of ghosts patrolling at night was twice as high as in the past, probably because she said the word "prison break".

Thanks to Laila, Isabella's three days are not boring. Laila looks younger than her, but she is actually her senior. She has graduated for almost four years now. During these four years She traveled to many countries to learn the secret recipe of making desserts.

Isabella held a burnt waffle and listened to Laila describe how to make cotton sorbet. Under Laila's vivid description, the burnt waffle became delicious.

"You must open a shop!"

"I've already saved enough money to open a store, but I was locked in. I'm going to open a store after I get out."

"Then have you thought of a store name?"

"No, I will be locked up for a few more days, I can think about it slowly."

The author has something to say:

This is a transitional chapter. I would like to introduce the heroine of my pre-received article, Laila Hoffman. detective.
