From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"The prices of things in the magic world have increased again! The prices of everything are increasing..."

When Arthur returned to the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley told him about today's trivia.

It's true that all the children have been sent to Hogwarts, but the family still has to eat, and they still have to send all kinds of food or clothing to the children far away - especially now that their children are all over the world. In all cases.

There are many children in their family, which has resulted in the Weasley family not having much money - although Hogwarts provides room and board, annual textbooks, robes, and various learning materials are not provided free of charge. .

This makes Mrs. Weasley very sensitive to the prices of items in the market - although her family's conditions have improved in recent years, she is still extremely concerned about prices.

"There's no need to worry so much, the situation is actually not that bad," Mr. Weasley said softly, spreading his hands, "Actually, all supplies are guaranteed, and they are already working overtime to get it. "

To be precise, when Professor William visited the Ministry of Magic to assist in the investigation, he did not find many serious clues, but he made a lot of corresponding suggestions to ease the public mood, and almost all of those opinions were slightly judged by Minister Fudge. It was adopted.

"I think so - there can never be greater difficulties than those two children."

Mrs. Weasley shook her head and even joked.

——

"It's really... it really moves the whole body..."

William looked at the data collected in his hand and shook his head.

He was mentally prepared for the consequences of the break-in into the Ministry of Magic. He even used Dumbledore's name to remind the Ministry of Magic to make some remedial measures afterwards. However, he still did not expect that this attack would It would involve such a wide range of things.

To put it simply, the biggest problem he encountered now was that the black market in the British wizarding world collapsed.

Yes, the black market collapsed and the market was in chaos.

With no other choice, the angry Aurors and thugs began an attack like sweeping away fallen leaves in the autumn wind, especially cracking down on illegal cross-border operations - this resulted in smuggling, the largest supply channel, being almost half cut off.

In addition, due to the confiscated dark magic-related props, some shops selling similar items were also uprooted by the Aurors, leaving only a few with the strongest connections - but although they were exempted from being arrested, they were still Close the door to avoid the wind and dare not open the door at all.

This has resulted in the remaining black marketeers only daring to do business in a few places, and the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade is one of them...

"I have a headache... I have to go and get someone checked in person... I can't be too bad-tempered..."

William leaned on the chair with a look of helplessness on his face.

If you switch to another shop and find an excuse to recommend it to Professor Moody, the effect will be better and the time will be shorter, but this shop can't do it - it really can't do it.

The Pig Head Bar is a bar with a gray area, but the people inside play by the rules, and the school occasionally uses some gray experimental materials, so it acquiesces to its existence.

But now, because the rest of the area has been demolished, there are too many merchants crowding in here - this is obviously a safety hazard, and it's time to check and warn.

He found out that he had reported it, but Professor McGonagall kicked the ball back again - the Self-Defense Office didn't care about this, so how could he expect other professors to handle it?

"It is still necessary to exist - if everything is stopped, a lot of experiments will probably have to be stopped... a warning and screening will be done..."

William frowned and was about to ask Lupine to go over and tell the businessmen to calm down - forget about the bar owner. Although William was not afraid, he didn't want to cause that kind of trouble...

How should I put it? Mr. Aberforth is a very capable businessman. He can get a lot of good things that are not available on the market. He is also very famous among merchants all over the world. However, William was investigating the possibility of the Dark Lord sneaking in the year before last. When I was trying to find out my identity, I discovered the most incredible thing.

As for Aberforth, he has an older brother whom he doesn't get to know very much, whose name is William, who is somewhat familiar - his brother's name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, or for short, It's Albus Dumbledore.

That's right - Dumbledore's biological brother, the two are still in conflict.

How to put it this way...it's a bit subtle.

William definitely couldn't bring Moody there - that would be almost like destroying someone else's store.

Although he felt a little sorry for Lupine, William still decided to take him with him - in such a dangerous place, it was really dangerous for him to go alone.

To be honest, if it hadn't been about school regulations, he would have blamed the divination professor for this matter. According to William's investigation, that professor had made a lot of money from the Pig's Head Bar. Spices from the East are coming...

——

“The Hog’s Head…what a nostalgic place.”

When William and Lupine went from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade together, Lupine couldn't help but sigh, which suddenly reminded William of the good things Lupine had done...

This is indeed a bit worrying - even though Lupine's reliability has been guaranteed until now.

"Speaking of which, is the hood ready, Professor William?"

Lupine's sudden question stopped William, and he looked at Lupine in confusion - Dear Professor Luping, have you confused our identities?

We were the ones who warned those merchants not to act recklessly and strictly prohibited them from appearing in the village when the students visited Hogsmeade. We were not the ones who attended the mysterious party in the Pig's Head Bar!

Under William's doubtful gaze, Lupine finally understood the meaning of this matter.

"For safety reasons, shouldn't the Pig's Head Bar be closed down?"

"Professor Luping..." William looked at Luping, his tone full of helplessness, "Please, where do the teaching aids you use in class come from? Can you still capture any Boggarts from the castle? ?”

Of course not - Lupine has been teaching for so long, and there are no mice in the castle that show a little bit of magical tendencies... Those dangerous magical creatures are consumables, and many of them are not suitable for growing in the Forbidden Forest.

Hogwarts is not a dungeon, and neither is the Forbidden Forest. There is no refresh state. Magical creatures with blind eyes must move here before they can be taken to class... After being around Lupin for so long, almost all teaching supplies now are Bought from the Pig's Head Bar...

This is one of the important reasons why William didn't turn it off under pressure - Potions, Herbalism, Self-Defense, and even Charms and Transfiguration classes all had to buy supplies from here... Just stop it. It's like cutting off the supply.

Think about it, for example, in this class, Professor McGonagall is going to ask the students to turn beetles into buttons - then the question is, should Professor McGonagall catch the beetles, or Hagrid? That picture is beautiful just thinking about it...

Lu Pingshan laughed. He spent more magical creatures on this than the entire self-defense office, because his courses are most focused on practical combat...

While the two were talking, the Pig's Head Bar had already appeared in front of them.

William looked at the sign with a pig's head on it, thought about what to say next, adjusted the position of his wand for the last time, and walked directly towards the bar door.

"Crunch..."

The door of the bar made a faint noise, which made everyone present couldn't help but glance towards the door - this was because there was not enough fuel on purpose, so that everyone could run away at any time if something unusual appeared.

Now this effect is very good - when everyone is looking at the door as always, they find that the two newcomers have not covered their faces.

William got used to the dim light here for a while, and then resolutely retracted the steps he had taken - damn, seeing this situation, he wanted to go over and find out what the market was like today.

After trying hard to adjust this awkward mood and suppress the energy, William snapped the fingers of his left hand and raised a light ball to illuminate, while focusing everyone's attention on his side.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies."

He smiled and looked around, ignoring the extremely unfriendly looks.

"Starting this week, the ban in Hogsmeade Village has been further increased. Adult wizards outside the school are strictly prohibited from entering Hogsmeade, including the Pig's Head Bar, during weekends."

"Who are you!"

"Are you worthy?"

“…”

A mess of curses suddenly came out - there was no way not to attract curses. People were drinking and doing business well, but suddenly such an unpleasant thing happened.

But more people in the crowd chose to remain silent, and those who cursed were all newcomers. The businessmen who had been around this area for many years were still somewhat familiar with William's face. They began to think of ways to remind their partners that this person in front of them really could not be offended. of…

After almost half a glass of wine, the noise in the bar was much lowered. Seeing others stop, the remaining people hurriedly stopped talking, as if the person who just sent greetings in characteristic slang was not him.

"Very good. It seems that everyone has no objections. That's it. I hope everyone has a happy life."

William nodded, turned and left - if Lupine hadn't been stunned for a moment, perhaps the effect would have been better.

——

"The boss is following you out!"

"It's already like this, and it's just forbidden to come in and out on weekends. The boss is so proud..."

"No... By the way, who was the young man who came to announce just now? Why was everyone silent?"

"The professor at Hogwarts, his name is William."

"You look so young, why has everyone shut up?"

"Ha," the businessman in question smiled contemptuously, with a look on his face that said you didn't even know this. He took a sip of wine slowly, "That one came out from over there!"

"hiss…"

Genuine gasps - Azkaban is scary to every wizard, but to those of them in the gray area, it's no ordinary terror.

And coming out of it is really an incredible qualification.

You haven't even seen Azkaban, why are you pretending to be a senior industry insider?

"What the hell..."

The intimidating businessman looked at the frightened person, and the smile on his face became a little more real, "Moody knows, that Auror."

"Hey... who doesn't know about Moody? But what does it have to do with us?"

Everyone curled their lips. Moody was strong, and it was true that he had captured all the dark wizards in Azkaban, but what did this have to do with them?

Based on the crimes they committed, could they have anything to do with Moody?

You don't even need Aurors to catch them. A team of strikers can wipe out the team, let alone that kind of legendary Auror.

"Tsk, I don't even know this. What are you focusing on every day? Sooner or later, someone will send you to Azkaban!"

"Let me tell you, that Moody, the legendary Auror, is now working under that Professor William!"

There were really a lot of gasps now, especially those few particularly unruly guys, who began to consider whether to change places to do some serious business - is the Pig's Head Bar so dangerous?

——

"hiss…"

Bertha took a breath. She never thought that after truly seeing the Dark Lord's ability, she would still be so afraid of the Dark Lord.

Attacked the Ministry of Magic and escaped unscathed!

Although this was published by the gloating French Ministry of Magic in its own newspaper, judging from the other evidence they have collected so far, it is so outrageous that it is actually true!

A group of Death Eaters stormed the Ministry of Magic and escaped without any arrests!

As a former employee of the Ministry of Magic, she still had some trust in Aurors and strikers, but now it seemed that the Death Eaters were simply...

After being surprised for a while, Bertha picked up the collected information and prepared to send it to the Dark Lord - this was the work she had been continuing during this time.

"Come in, Bertha."

When she knocked on the door cautiously, the Dark Lord's voice came from inside.

After she opened the door, she discovered that those Death Eaters who were still training were also there - but at this moment, Bertha was in awe of these people who had not yet seen their strength. These were said to be the most elite Death Eaters, those who If anyone in the UK can do that, then the people in front of me...

"What's the matter, Bertha?"

The Dark Lord raised his head, with a cruel smile in his scarlet eyes - Little Barty was doing better and better, so Bella and the others couldn't sit still anymore and were applying for a mission.

"The news came from the UK and this is the relevant report."

She handed over the information, and Voldemort took it with a smile, then froze for a moment.

He thought for a moment, then froze again.

? ? ?

Are the Death Eaters causing trouble in the Ministry of Magic, or are they Umbridge's men?

After the trouble was over, you escaped unscathed? A slap in the face to those losers at the Ministry of Magic?

This this…

Tom's eyes were full of doubt - Bella Lucius is the most capable and favored one!

Why are these Death Eaters so good?

He had no doubt that it was a Death Eater, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do such a crazy thing. He didn't doubt that they were elites - people who could do great things under the eyes of Aurors. What were they if they weren't elites?

Is this one of Umbridge's men? What were they looking for at the Ministry of Magic? How to contact them? How to use them?

Damn, what did I forget? ? ?
