The day before school started, the last festive atmosphere of Christmas had not yet dissipated, and the Diagon Alley was covered with silver everywhere.

This year's Diagon Alley is very different from the past. Most shops are hung with Christmas gift lights given by the Future World Company at the doors. During this period, in the evening, before the last ray of light in the sky disappeared, these magic lights had already lit up, illuminating a small piece of open space in front of them.

Arik and Cremy emerged from the vertical castle, each wearing only one single dress, but were not affected by the cold wind.

Cremy adjusted the knob of the constant temperature locket, stuffed it into her pocket, and looked at the male and female witches on the street with satisfaction. She said with emotion: "In less than half a year, Diagon Alley has changed a lot."

Arik said empathically: "Really... do you remember the signing meeting held at Lihen Bookstore on New Year's Day? Ritaskit purchased two magic phonographs, allowing the shadow of the weird sister group to float at the door of the bookstore until the end. It was like watching a live performance..."

Cremy blinked and remembered the scene at that time. The reporter was very brave and actually wrote the ancient Black family members into the book, but what was even more exaggerated was that she also mentioned the Black Devil.

Some of the descriptions in the book made her blush when she remembered it now:

...The character like the devil has an extraordinary personality charm, which is not limited to men and women. Even the descendants of the ancient and pure blood family are unstoppable. They are willing to bow to his feet and kiss his feet devoutly. Even if it is just a little bit possible to have dinner with this cold demon king or get the gift of kissing the back of his hands, the young man in our story is willing to go through fire and water...

The young pure-blooded descendants will never forget that the night the Demon King summoned his loyal servant himself. The Demon King's slender fingertips brushed across his cheeks like charcoal fire, and murmured and whispered undeniable whispers: "My believer, I need you... need you to do something for me..."

Although he did not call him the name directly, anyone with some knowledge would guess who the two protagonists in the story were.

"What's wrong with you?" Arik asked at Cremy who suddenly blushed, looking at her curiously.

"No, nothing," Cremy said with a blushing face.

...

On a bustling street in central London, two strange men stood in front of a well-decorated shop.

Next to this store is a stationery store. The owner of the store looked at the two strangers and had no doubt about their actions. She also thought it was strange that the store next door was open.

She lived in London for decades, but she heard the name of the Future World company for the first time a few months ago.

It's so strange, why does a jewelry store call this name? The boss thought angrily, isn't the retro style now popular? Is it a new fashion coming from Paris?

There is another unreasonable place. The sign of this store, in the lower right corner, wrote No. 7 Store in gold letters, which was really outrageous. Even though the clerk there said that other branches should be located abroad, she was not convinced.

While thinking, she blatantly looked at the two people at the intersection through the glass window. One was very young but calm, and seemed to be a rich man with a very experienced family. The middle-aged man next to him had a story on his face. If possible, she would be happy to invite him to drink a small glass of brandy together and listen to a sad past...

At this time, Felix and Lupin did not realize that they had become the object of others' comments, and a temporary conversation between them came to an end.

"She is afraid of death now. She just finished signing the sale. As a result, the next day, the Ministry of Magic announced the wanted order of Bati Crouch. Although Foggy suppressed her and refused to admit the existence of Voldemort, she was just a hardcore believer in the mysterious man. These vicious words were enough to make her sleepless. Sirius had always wanted to come to block her, and her behavior of playing the edge ball could not convince him."

Felix curled his lips. He had already turned over the new book of Ritaskit and felt that he was contaminated and deserved to make her feel scared for a few more days.

He said to Lupin: "Don't pay attention to her for now."

Lupin showed a confusion expression just right, "You want her to wait for nearly two months? She will definitely go crazy." That was the time to start the second event of the Championship. At that time, the gates of Hogwarts will be opened, and some spectators and reporters will be invited.

Felix smiled playfully: "Don't forget that our journalist friends have a special ability."

Luping's heart suddenly trembled and he asked quickly: "Animagus?"

Felix nodded slightly.

Ritaskit was once an illegal Animagus. The reason why she used the word "Old" was because she had already made up for loopholes and registered with the Ministry of Magic, but she was exposed and became a very unpopular person.

According to reliable sources, the potion for removing beetles was sold out during that time.

"Do you want her to help you with?" Lupin asked in a deep voice, his heart twisted. Although he didn't like to deal with people like Ritaskit who made up for being as simple as drinking water and breathing, he could not convince himself to watch her step into the trap of death.

Felix glanced at Lupin and saw his thoughts as if he were aware of his thoughts. After all, Sirius said that the reason why he and James were attracted to Lupin was because he was kind from the bottom of his heart, no one would refuse to have such a friend.

"You seem to be in some kind of moral dilemma, but the truth is, we did nothing."

"Yes," Lupin sighed and said softly, "It's because we did nothing..."

They walked into this most alternative No. 7 store, which was a long aisle inside, and there were exquisite glass counters on both sides of the left and right. The counters were decorated with red, black and purple velvet cloth, and were decorated with dazzling array of gold and silver ornaments, jewelry and jewelry.

From customers to clerks, they are all ordinary people.

A young female teller saw Felix and Lupin, whose big eyes turned twice on the former, then recognized Lupin. Lupin nodded to her, and they walked straight through the long aisle and walked inside, where there was an inconspicuous small door.

A guest was asking the clerk: "Is this a cigarette box from George IV?"

"Ms., this is just a copy. You can look at the logo on it." The clerk said with a decent smile, maybe he wanted to show it in front of the boss, and her tone was particularly patient and gentle.

"Every piece of silver product we have strictly followed the sterling silver marking system. In addition, we have also prepared a reference book for customers to check the silver content, origin, date, etc., as well as the certification of the official appraisal agency..."

Felix and Lupin pushed open the tiny door, which was a narrow compartment inside, and a workbench occupied one-third of the space, with some common making tools on it.

"Will we use these things?" Felix asked, holding up a tweezer. He actually didn't know how these things were made. He could use magic to shape his body, especially if he could use the magic of the Thinking House to cheat.

"Occasionally, some customers will ask for some minor adjustments." Lupin said: "For convenience and concealment, we will also purchase silver products from normal channels, and there are special personnel responsible for this matter." He smiled and said: "In fact, except for the occasional works created by a few fairys, this store operates no differently from other gold and silver jewelry stores."

"Felix, I must remind you that the company has more than one hundred and twenty employees."

Felix looked at Lupin's eyes and thought for a second: "This is exactly what I expected. You should have experienced it recently. Only when you reach a certain scale can you be sure to divide the obvious division of labor, brainstorm, and form an economist. Moreover, with more people, we can concentrate more efforts to do the same thing and make achievements quickly. Just like this research on projection screens."

Felix smiled: "I like this feeling, watching them go from strangers to familiarity with each other, through some simple tasks, only in this way can we not be in a hurry when we really have big tasks."

Lupin showed a helpless expression, "Don't let the people in the company hear these words, they don't think they are completing a simple task."

"Oh, I was wrong," Felix said perfunctorily, "It's a very difficult task."

After coming out of the seventh branch, it was just dark and Felix and Lupin separated. He was satisfied with everything at the moment, especially since his book of Magical Texts was almost finished, which made him feel very good.

He was walking on the streets of London with people walking in a hurry. Before he knew it, he turned to a remote street, and a figure swayed under the dim light.

It was a dark-haired man with a numb figure, sunken cheeks and eye sockets, and messy hair.

Homeless? Addict?

Felix moved a little away, but he didn't expect the man to come towards him. A strong sense of absurdity surged in Felix's heart. It wouldn't be that he had encountered a robbery. This idea made him not choose to leave, but stayed in place and looked at the other party curiously.

The man was so thin that he seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. He reached into his pocket with one hand, Felix tilted his head and put a human-shaped iron armor spell on himself, "Do you need to call a doctor?" he said slowly.

"I do need some medicine." The man said, licking his yellowed teeth.

He took out a folded leaflet and handed it to Felix with a weird smile on his face. Then he left to look for his next target.

Felix looked at the contents on the flyer and felt incredible for a moment
