Vol 2 Chapter 1131: ? The most prosperous commercial street in the British magical world

On the cobblestone streets of Diagon Alley, Josephine, who is wearing a black cloak and the uniform of the Ministry of Magic, also wears a sun hat, and many members of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures under her jurisdiction have certain positions. It seemed that everyone was dispatched today. Following her, a group of people attracted the attention of shoppers and portraits in Diagon Alley. It looked like an important event was going to be carried out.
In this area, there are many more Aurors patrolling than usual, and there are even a lot of armed forces from the red umbrella department guarding in front of shops that assist and protect umbrellas business-recently Hogwarts and the United Kingdom In addition to dissatisfaction with foreigners, the hard-line plans of the Ministry of Magic also made some domestic pure blood panic. Although nothing has happened in the UK for the time being, for fear of the embargo issue, Harris still made some extra arrangements in advance. To deal with unexpected situations that may arise.
But in fact, most of the ordinary wizards in the British magical world have actually begun to produce some nationalism similar to that of the American magical world. Of course, this kind of thinking is different from the exaggerated sense of crisis of life and death used by the American rigidity Fox. It is more from the British performance and the superiority of having a floating city core, having the three most powerful wizards in the world (even if one is a mysterious person) and having a true god.
Along the way, most of the shops have not high passenger traffic, and even some of them can be said to be deserted. Only Fred and George’s Weasley’s Witchcraft Workshop are in full swing. Many wizards have directly apparated here, and many wizards have gone out. From here, the apparition moved away, which became a rare lively scene among the businesses in Diagon Alley.
It’s just that it’s not the old young wizards who enter and leave the joke shop, but many middle-aged and elderly wizards. They take out a lot of Jin Jialong, and some of them are frantically snapping up magic items such as decoy bombs, portable swamps, etc. ,
Even the shelves of powerful ecstasy such as Wonder Witch have been emptied. As for the stealth smoke bombs, because they had to be imported from Peru before, they were already out of stock due to the embargo movement of the magic world on the United Kingdom.
On the purple background poster pasted on the window, dazzling yellow characters are printed, attracting people's attention:
You protect the world,
We protect you,
Fight against Death Eaters,
50% off strange things...
"I know a few..." Sirius was a little puzzled. "They weren't like pranksters when they were in school. Why do they become playful when they are old?"
"You don’t watch the news? Umbrella’s rapid-response security forces must send armed forces to Europe to combat the recent crazy robberies of the Death Eaters. They are the parents of those wizards..." Josephine frowned, "For these troops, please Nello has already rationed a lot of extra props. These parents are too worried, and they are not sent to beat Voldemort himself..."
"I know a few parents whose children are working on umbrellas. They are actually quite proud of it. They brag to me every day... But their children will inevitably worry about going out to perform dangerous tasks. I can understand their seemingly ambivalent emotions... Fortunately, Cedric and Qiu are both excellent Quidditch players. They have never worried me... Uh, I didn’t say that I don’t support them in fighting, but they are more suitable for playing Quidditch..." He said the wrong thing, but then his tone changed back to complacency, "Cedric has already become the star player of the Montrose Magpies, and Qiu rejected the Black Hubby who thinks women have an advantage over men. Female captain Gwenger Jones invited her to the Tatehill Tornado team she liked when she was a child, and she became the team's substitute..." He triumphantly looked at the single boss and the single middle-aged male colleague next to him. "You know, as Quidditch stars, they have a good salary, and they each have a large number of fans... So they plan to get married soon, and plan to get a house on the floating city. Then the wedding can invite you. Don't come."
"Then congratulate you in advance, Amos." Josephine nodded and squeezed a smile on his face. "In addition, I have to remind you that as a member of the Ministry of Magic, you also have some on the floating city. Welfare, including housing, if in your name, is much larger than their benefits, which are neither the umbrella nor the Ministry of Magic."
"That's great. I'll write to Cedric when I go back... Uh... Director, we have to stay away from that magic zoo... The female boss with thick black-rimmed glasses is not so easy to provoke... She has been I’m asking for trouble trying to get compensation..." Amos Diggory pointed to a very gloomy store with closed doors to Josephine, "It’s okay for the Owl Store... but your nephew, I’m Let’s talk about the recent feat of Principal Harris... The embargo imposed on us by these countries has made the zoo’s supply channel a problem. It’s cats, toads and the like that make her business terrible..."
It was very crowded in the past, and the noisy pet shop, full of animal sounds, looked very clean at this time.
"This is great!" Sirius whistled, "Amos, this is good news for us, and our job is easier because of this!"
"Shut up! Why are you so silly after working for so long!" Josephine couldn't help but scolded Sirius, then turned to Amos and said, "We will tell Wonder Zoo later, we know about her. I will contact the umbrella and give them some preferential compensation and support measures..."
"That's the best... Director, their shop has always been law-abiding..." Diggory took a peek at Josephine. "In fact, many of these industries are troubled..."
Josephine squinted his reddish eyes and stared at the subordinate, then calmed down his black cloak to keep it from moving: "Hogwarts is prepared for this, and the umbrella will make statistics. And give some compensation and support."
"Amos, are you accepting those store benefits?" Sirius with his hands in the pockets of his clothes casually made Diggory's face flushed, but his sight was on the dazzling sunlight. On the magical umbrellas in the Lorraine Cold Drink Shop, "Josephine, today is like coming back in the summer... Let the colleagues from the other divisions go first? I invite everyone to drink something cold..."
"We are ahead of them!" Josephine, who is usually known for being calm and cold, had some brain pain. She seemed to feel her body, as if she had some heat out of thin air without drinking other people's fresh blood-this is after she became a vampire Lost ability.
Fortunately, as the most prosperous commercial street in the British magical world, Diagon Alley is actually not that big. At least it is especially so after comparing the commercial district of Floating City. Soon, the members of the management and control department of this group of magical creatures They came to their destination, and it is also the only Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Diagon Alley where the passenger flow is comparable to the twin brothers' joke shop.
Gulin Pavilion is also the largest and oldest building in the entire Diagon Alley Commercial Street. It is located in the middle of the top of the T-shaped intersection of Diagon Alley, facing a downward street, and the geographical position is very advantageous. The pillars of this majestic building are slanted and slanted, and are very distinctive. The top is a sculpture of a fire-breathing dragon with spread wings. It seems to deter those wizards with ulterior motives and also provide depositors with confidence in security.
At this time, in front of this imposing white building, the other shops looked sad, because it was the only one that had sufficient passenger flow, and hurried customers came out in groups in small groups. There were no wizards who acted alone, and all of them looked sad. Serious and cautious.
Josephine and his party stood in front of the tall, snow-white building above the surrounding shops. Next to the shiny bronze gate, stood three fairies in scarlet and gold uniforms. The one led by the fairies was responsible for guiding them. The other two guards in charge each held an honest detector with a slender golden rod. Seeing Josephine and their uniform Ministry of Magic uniforms, the goblin headed winked at a guard next to him. Upon seeing this, the goblin guard immediately ran into the bank~EbookFREE.me~ It didn’t take long. , A guard composed of a mixture of elves and wizards, more than when Lun and the others came over last time, poured out from the gate of Gringotts.
Unlike the ordinary fairy staff who wear white shirts, black suit vests, and black sleeves, the two leading fairy Nagnock and Griphook are wearing straight black striped suits today. A royal blue silk shirt and large black leather shoes were polished shiny.
When the two leading fairies saw Josephine and his party, they paused for a while. They thought it was the Ministry of Magic that was going to make another accident about the mysterious human Horcrux. When the fairies heard the wind report, they doubted whether the other party wanted to rely on it. The Goblin Liaison Office under the Heterogeneous Office allows the department responsible for the economic aspects of magic and the coordination of the relationship between fairies and wizards to handle this matter, but now it seems that the other party is collectively dispatched by the Management and Control Department of Magical Creatures.
"Could the Ministry of Magic want to use them to inspect Gringotts..." No matter what he thought, Nagnock remained silent on his face, and after coming over to Josephine and the others, he showed a big smile. The pointed beard trembled, and he asked tentatively: "Director Josephine Harris, why did you bring so many people to Gringotts today? The fire dragons and other animals we guarded were all registered with the Ministry of Magic. Recently, there is no opportunity or need to introduce new species..."
As always, Josephine did not take off his hat, but he paid it back politely, and said with a polite smile: "Nagnock, don’t be nervous, this time we are not here for official business. They are all doing private business...but it just so happens that there are more people in the Ministry of Magic today who have this kind of need, so I gave me and my colleagues in the department a short half-day vacation."
