Chapter 154 Processing and Purchasing
Tom took care of Harry's luggage and brought him to Fudge.
"Oh, Mr. Potter, it's nice to meet you."
Fudge was kind and amiable, treating Harry like a generous uncle.
"Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, when are you going to fire me, and can you take my property away?" Harry asked nervously.
"No, we wouldn't fire you, wouldn't we, Tom?"
Fudge joked, glancing threateningly at the hunchbacked Tom.
"That's right, that's right," Tom echoed.
"Don't worry about your aunt's matter, Dumbledore has already sent someone to deal with it.
Your property is now under the care of wizards in Gringotts, which is very safe. It is better to keep it there, isn't it?"
Fudge's kindness and amiability made Harry feel very close to him.
"Then Mr. Minister, could you please sign my Hogsmeade Visiting Permit for me?" Harry naively thought Fudge was a good parent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, this thing will only work if the guardian signs it." Fudge easily changed the subject.
"Then you should rest here and try not to hang around anywhere other than the Leaky Cauldron during this time."
After saying this, Fudge picked up his hat and walked out.
......
On the other side, a chimney on the south side of Sheffield.
An old man and a delicate-looking teenager stood on the roof, looking at Maggie who was blown into a ball.
Aiden used his magic wand to summon a breeze, and Maggie was blown by the wind and bumped into the chimney next to her from time to time, making a "duangduang" sound.
"Hahaha." Finally, Aiden couldn't help laughing out loud, and the clear boy's voice echoed in the air.
Although he was still feeling annoyed by Dumbledore's visit the last second, the scene before him still made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
"Okay, stop playing around, Aiden," Dumbledore said.
At the same time, the magic power dispelled the breeze under his will and rescued Maggie.
The phoenix flew over, grabbed the three of them, and returned to the Dursleys in flames.
"Erase their memory, Aiden. Your method is the most sophisticated I have ever seen. It shouldn't have any sequelae on them." Dumbledore said.
"Snap." With a snap of fingers, Maggie fell into coma.
"You also know the sequelae." Aiden raised his eyebrows.
Dumbledore said nothing, but used a spell to send Maggie back to bed.
"You, you are Dumbledore." Hearing the noise, the Dursleys ran out of the house.
The sharp-eyed Penny easily recognized the old man who had visited her home before.
"Well, it's been twenty years, Petunia." Dumbledore said slowly.
"It's you. Are you going to take my family away again?" Petunia protected Dudley behind her.
"Petunia, your son is too old, and I'm sorry about what happened back then, but there's nothing I can do." Dumbledore said with hidden meaning.
"It has nothing to do with you. It's just wishful thinking on my part. But now please leave here and don't interfere in our lives anymore." Penny ordered her to leave.
Dumbledore sighed and disappeared with Aiden.
Penny seemed to have all her strength drained away and fell to the ground.
......
"Professor Dumbledore, you seem to have something else to say." Aiden asked.
"Aiden, let me ask you. If there is a Muggle family with two sisters, one is a Muggle and the other is a wizard, and they have a disagreement over this matter, what should we do?"
Dumbledore's eyes seemed to be looking into the past, and his voice was a little vague.
"Find a way to make the other one a wizard as well." Aiden shrugged.
"But no one can do this. The conflict between Muggles and wizards seems irreconcilable." Dumbledore was a little depressed.
"But professor, why do we always think about fighting against ordinary people?" Aiden asked back.
"Because of magic, the ability to use magic is almost turning us into two races." Dumbledore revealed the essence of the matter.
"But what if there is a way to get ordinary people to join wizards? Just imagine, which ordinary person can resist the charm of magic?
We always resort to force for everything, and I admit that force is convenient, but what if one day the target of force is ourselves? " Aiden frowned.
"Aiden, don't step into dangerous paths," Dumbledore warned.
"No, we need to coexist with ordinary people. Professor, you may not believe it, but in just a few decades, perhaps they will be able to make all wizards invisible."
Aiden's tone was serious, but judging from Dumbledore's expression, he obviously didn't believe it.
"Then I will look forward to your way of coexistence."
As Dumbledore finished his words, the Phoenix took him away from the Dursleys' house, and Aiden returned to the Burrow.
For a while, life was going great for Harry.
At the Leaky Cauldron, you can not only sleep until you wake up naturally every day, but you can also wander around Diagon Alley.
Harry would come to Florin Fusco's Ice Cream Shop every day to do his homework.
The owner, Florin Fusco, not only helps Harry with his homework, but also treats him to ice cream.
Ever since Gringotts was enclosed by wizards through legislation, its management has become very standardized.
Many wizards who visited from the ordinary world brought advanced financial concepts with them.
At the same time, lending businesses began to emerge, and a large amount of funds poured into the market, making the business in Diagon Alley more prosperous.
As his third year approached, Harry also went to Diagon Alley to purchase his study supplies.
Arriving at the crystal ball shop, Harry found that there was a divination class in the third year, which required him to buy a crystal ball.
Harry immediately fell in love with the pure gold Gobstones and crystal galaxy models on the shelf, but he resisted the urge to buy them.
Just picked up the necessary robes and textbooks and left.
Passing by Madam Malkin's robe shop, Harry came to Flourish and Blotts.
Because of the grand launch event for Lockhart last year, Flourish and Blotts' brand image has been affected.
This also led to the rise of many second-hand bookstores, which quickly took over the market share vacated by Blooms and Blotts.
"Welcome." Shop clerk Vincent said this is his third part-time job.
At this moment, Vincent, who was already exhausted, did not give Harry a good look.
Judging from Harry's height, we can guess that he is another little wizard who needs "The Monster Book of Monsters".
"Who on earth designated these books as textbooks? I really..." Vincent's complaint was interrupted by Harry.
"I'm sorry sir, I don't need the book."
Vincent's expression changed immediately when he heard Harry's words.
He quickly packed Harry's other textbooks and thoughtfully tied them up with ribbon.
Under Vincent's 'loving' gaze, Harry walked out of the bookstore.
Back at the Leaky Cauldron, a cat is chasing a mouse.
Seeing two familiar figures, Harry smiled knowingly.
