Harry Potter and the Old Ones

The magic speeder flew very fast, and in less than half an hour, Harry and his party stopped steadily at the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

They also met Hagrid there—

Hagrid looked happy, flushed and carrying an oversized suitcase.

Hagrid seemed to treasure his suitcase very much, even when hugging Harry, he was reluctant to let go, so he held the suitcase tightly and hugged Harry.

"Long time no see, Harry." Hagrid said cheerfully, "How's your summer vacation going?"

"Oh...well, it's okay." Seemingly infected by Hagrid's warm atmosphere, Harry also felt that his mood was much better, and asked curiously:

"Hagrid, what's in this box of yours?"

"Oh, this..." Hagrid's eyes dodged at first, as if he had lied before, but soon, as if he had remembered something, he said generously, "This is a traceless extension handpiece. The box, which Mr. Newt Scamander knocked out, gave it to me when he came to Hogwarts last term."

"Then you're here..." Harry asked with a premonition.

"It's a dragon!" Hagrid said excitedly, "It's a juvenile Swiss short-nosed dragon!"

"Dragon?" Ron almost screamed. "But doesn't the Ministry of Magic allow you to raise dragons without permission?"

"But now is the era of the Magic Federation!" Hagrid said excitedly, "Thanks to Tiera and his "Fantastic Animals Welfare Law", as long as you provide proof of your ability to breed to the Fantastic Animal Breeding and Breeding Committee , and as long as you pass the Fantastic Beasts Breeding Committee's Fantastic Beasts Breeding Guidelines exam questions, you can legally raise these magical animals!"

"Oh oh oh... that's it..." Harry nodded and said, indicating that he was clear, "Then Hagrid... we won't bother you... I still have something to buy... After I'm done. Let's talk more!"

"Okay, okay, let's go." Hagrid turned sideways happily, then patted Harry's shoulder with his wide palm.

"Okay, okay, see you later." After that, Harry, Ron and Ginny squeezed past Hagrid and walked towards the wall at the back of the Leaky Cauldron.

Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley followed closely behind them.

After ordering a few bricks next to the trash can, Harry and his party entered Diagon Alley smoothly, but to their surprise, there was almost no difference between Diagon Alley and what Harry remembered—

Of course, it's not accurate to say that, there are still many differences. For example, Gringotts at the end of the street seems to be under renovation. A huge black curtain and countless slender scaffolding cover the huge dome of Gringotts. A man who clearly looked like a werewolf wizard was decorating that huge roof.

Apart from the most obvious point, there are many strange shops on Diagon Alley——

It is not accurate to say shops, because many people do not rent any shops, but push small carts that are obviously homemade, and sell all kinds of goods along the street.

These include not limited to potions, finished potions, magic items, magic books, and even many graduates who appear to have just graduated to sell their study notes from their student days on the street, and put those who are new to the magic world. The melon parents and the Muggle-born little wizards were stunned for a moment.

In addition, the biggest change is that there are significantly fewer "people" on Diagon Alley——

Yes, Diagon Alley has become prosperous, but there are far fewer people.

As far as Harry can see, on the crooked street of Diagon Alley, in addition to human wizards, there are also people and horses walking on horseshoes, half-blooded giants similar to Hagrid, and low house elves. And those vampires with pointy ears who walk in the sun.

"Hello, Harry Potter." At this time, a shrill voice suddenly came out of Harry's side, startling Harry.

"Too, Dobby?" Harry followed the source of the voice and saw it was a house-elf with big eyes and big ears.

Unlike the other house-elves on the street who only had a clean pillowcase hanging on them, Dobby was wearing a neat wizard's robe, and on top of his bald head was a wizard that was too small for a house-elf. cap.

"Yes, sir, it's Dobby, Harry Potter still remembers Dobby, Dobby is very happy!" Dobby said excitedly.

"Dobby, this... what's going on?" Harry pointed to Diagon Alley in confusion. Harry felt that everything seemed normal, but there was a sense of unreality and dissonance beneath this normality.

For example, it is obviously daytime now, but those people with sharp teeth and sharp ears are obviously vampires, but they have no scruples and walk under the sun without any protective measures.

And all the little wizards who seem to be freshmen at Hogwarts are holding a white, bone-like wand in their hands. Except for their lengths, they look almost the same.

"Isn't it during the war now?" Harry asked inexplicably. Since his birthday party, Harry has been getting news about the war almost every day——

Today the French Ministry of Magic arrives at the gathering place of the Strait of Dover.

Tomorrow the Aurors sent by the Magic Society of America arrived at the gathering place.

The day after tomorrow, the mediator of the International Magic Federation went to the UK to mediate but was rejected by Tiera.

The acquired magic coalition is ready for war.

the day after tomorrow...

It was precisely because of the looming news about the war that Mrs Weasley was so nervous that Harry and the others would not go to Diagon Alley alone, and even she herself hadn't been out since Harry's birthday party. .

"Harry Potter doesn't need to worry about war~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Dobby said carelessly," Mr. Tiera said, those foreign forces that caused war are just paper tigers, we don't need them at all, they are not worth us at all Spend the effort to pay attention. "

Harry opened his mouth wide in disbelief, and didn't react for a while, as if he didn't understand why something so serious came to Dobby's mouth so lightly.

"Mr. Harry Potter hasn't been to New Diagon Alley yet?" Dobby asked.

"New, New Diagon Alley?" Harry seemed a little confused by the title.

"Of course, it's still called Diagon Alley for the convenience of Reshaping." Dobby explained, "but because it has been rejuvenated with new vitality after Mr. Tiera's rectification, we usually call it New Diagon Alley."

"Please let Dobby show you around," Dobby said. "Normally only Muggle wizards and their parents who come to the wizarding world for the first time can get the Diagon Alley guide service, but look at Dobby. Li Potter seems to be confused, and Dobby wants to help Harry Potter adapt to the new Diagon Alley as soon as possible, so Dobby wants to explain to Harry Potter."
