Chapter 319 Sirius on the Run
Holding the "Firebolt", under the envious eyes of all the little wizards passing by, Alice and Charlie, who turned into a phantom cat again, continued towards the direction of the Lihen Bookstore inside.
"Charlie, I'll treat you to ice cream in return!"
When one person and one cat passed Florin Fusco's ice cream shop, Alice suddenly thought of something, ran over "deng deng deng" and bought two ice creams.
"Thank you, it's pretty sweet!"
Charlie rolled up the ice cream with his long tail, licked it and replied via voice transmission.
Thus, a very harmonious scene appeared on the cobbled streets of Diagon Alley. A little witch held an expensive "Firebolt" in her left hand and an ice cream in her right hand.
And beside her, a long-tailed phantom cat took an elegant catwalk, while licking ice cream with its tail curled up in front of it.
"They don't seem to be here yet!"
After one person and one cat arrived at the entrance of Lihen Bookstore, they didn't find Harry and the others.
"Maybe we came earlier this time, they haven't arrived yet, let's go buy books first!"
Charlie ate the last bite of ice cream, and licked his lips with unsatisfied desire.
In the past, because Alice lived the farthest, she was basically the last one to reach Diagon Alley.
But now, because Charlie took Alice directly to Apparate, he became the first one to reach Diagon Alley instead.
Although Ron's family also has Floo fans, the Weasley family always has a lot of problems every time they go out. They often forget things and can't go out on time. On the contrary, most of the time, they are the last ones to arrive.
Alice nodded, and walked into Lihen Bookstore together with Charlie.
"Hogwarts? Come to buy new textbooks for what grade?"
The bookstore owner who was reading the newspaper put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Alice and asked.
"Yes, for the third grade, I need "Magic Potions and Potions", "Standard Spells, Level [-]", "The Monster Book of Monsters", "Seeing the Future Through the Fog", "Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles..."
Alice leaned the "Firebolt" against the wall of the bookstore and replied sweetly.
And when the owner of the bookstore heard Alice say "The Monster Book of Monsters", his expression changed immediately, and he quickly picked up a pair of thick gloves on the table and put them on,
Then he picked up a big knotted walking stick, and walked towards a large and eye-catching iron cage in the house cursing.
There are about one hundred "Monster Books of Monsters" in the big iron cage.
The books were all tangled together, fighting each other furiously, as if in a violent wrestling match, with shredded paper flying everywhere.
At this time, there was a loud chirping sound suddenly, and it turned out that there were two "Monster Books of Monsters" in the big iron cage, grabbing the third book and tearing it in half.
"Oh, stop! Stop!"
The owner of the bookstore yelled angrily and ran to the big iron cage, tried hard to thrust the big crutch into the cage, and beat the books to separate them.
"I'm not buying any of these anymore, ever! What a mess!
That time we bought two hundred copies of "The Invisibility Book of Invisibility" and spent a lot of money. Later, we didn't even find a shadow.
I thought it couldn't get any worse than that..."
After seeing that all the books were separated, he immediately reached out and quickly took out a "Monster Book of Monsters" from the big iron cage with lightning speed.
Then he put it together fiercely, put it in a small bag, and tied a knot before handing it to Alice, and warned:
"If you don't want to be bitten by it, then don't open it easily!"
"Oh ok thanks, I won't open it!"
Alice took the bag in a daze. She had never seen a book with such power.
"Okay, and, yes, "Putting Through the Fog to See the Future", the divination class has started, right? Follow me here to get it!"
After taking off the thick gloves, the manager of the bookstore finally calmed down a bit, and began to take Alice to look for the textbooks she needed in the bookstore.
At this time, Charlie was attracted by the newspaper on the table:
blake is still at large
Sirius Black, arguably the most vicious prisoner ever held at Azkaban, is still at large, the Ministry of Magic confirmed today.
"We are doing everything we can to bring Black back to justice," Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge said this morning. "I implore the wizarding community to remain calm."
Some members of the International Confederation of Wizards accused Fudge of informing the Muggle Prime Minister of the crisis.
"Sirius Black? I seem to have seen it somewhere, so it's him!"
Charlie looked at the man with a haggard face and long and messy hair in the newspaper, recalled it, and immediately remembered that he had encountered this wizard when he was studying wizard experience in London late at night two days ago.
At that time, the wizard was quite vigilant, almost found him, and the experience after being knocked out was much more than that of ordinary wizards, but Charlie didn't know that he was Sirius at the time, and he left after being knocked out.
No wonder, no wonder, after he knocked out Sirius that night, he immediately found a dozen Aurors from the Ministry of Magic nearby, allowing him to scan a wave in advance without going to the Ministry of Magic.
Come to think of it, those Aurors were probably chasing Sirius back then.
To be honest, this Sirius Black is also quite miserable. He was cheated by his good brother Peter Pettigrew, and stayed in Azkaban for 12 years because of self-blame.
Now that he ran out, he probably just saw a photo of the Weasley family traveling through the newspaper, and recognized Ron's mouse, Scabbers, in the photo as Peter Pettigrew.
After the Weasley family came back from Huaguo, they had sufficient funds in their hands because of the compensation from the Dongtian Paradise Travel Agency, so they went to Egypt to see their eldest son Bill.
The "Daily Prophet" some time ago had a special interview with the winners of the prize, and the Weasleys had published their family portrait co-produced in Egypt on the newspaper, among which was the mouse.
In Charlie's opinion, the dementors who guard Azkaban should not be able to extract the emotions of animals, so Sirius can use Animagus to escape from prison.
And since Sirius has always had the ability to escape from prison, but has not escaped, it is most likely because of the death of his best friend and strong self-blame,
And he might have thought Peter was dead all along.
However, although Charlie was very clear about these, he didn't intend to take the initiative to do anything.
For him, Sirius has nothing to do with him, as long as it is not related to Alice, he is not willing to waste his precious time.
His time is spent learning magic and Taoism, and delving into the world's deepest mysteries.
Of course, if it's done by hand, that's another story.
