Chapter 1066? Hatchards Bookstore

After the sunny and beautiful day of Albert and Fleur's wedding, Britain has been raining continuously for a long time. Although the rain has stopped temporarily in London today, the sky is still overcast.

Allen accompanied the Crivatt family to Piccadilly Circus, the center of Soho, and his eyes rested on a statue of Eros standing on one foot standing in the center of the square.

"London's Piccadilly Circus was designed by Nash in 1819 to realize the Prince Regent's dream of linking Carlton Palace and Regent's Park... This statue was sculpted by Prince Albert and it was the first statue cast in aluminum …However, at that time, when the statue of the whole fruit was placed in this square in 1893, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the Victorian defenders, but the statue soon became a symbol of London..." Mr. Clearwater introduced to Allen Muggle knowledge of attractions, but his eyes are always on the big bruise on Allen's forehead.

"Now it's often used as a dating place...The statue is always full of London couples..." Mrs. Clearwater said, looking at her daughter and Alan and laughing, but she couldn't help but look at Alan in the end. On the big bag on Lun's head, "Alan, your head is... why don't you heal it with your magic? I mean, I accidentally broke my hand once before, and Penello didn't let me go to the hospital. Healed me..."

"Mom! Don't worry about it..." Although Penello was scolding her mother for being troublesome, she looked a little complacent.

The corners of Alan's mouth froze for a moment, and he tried his best to maintain his calm expression, "There was a little accident when I was playing Quidditch... I lost a bet with my sister, and her request was that I couldn't use magic to heal my forehead. Scars... at least not until I'm going to be in a formal event..."

"If you don't go home today, you can be cured directly. The Ministry of Magic will give you an award tomorrow... Daisy is not so fussy, her wish has already been fulfilled." Penello looked at the big bag and felt a little annoying, and then She said to Allen with a smile on her face, "By the way, Allen, my parents decided to sell the law firm and move to the magic world."

"You young people are really full of energy..." Mrs. Clearwater said with some admiration, "Morgan Le Fay is very good at taking care of both family and career... Unlike me... Owen is really capable. Lippe offered a job and was involved in the Ministry of Magic rewriting the law..."

"Letizia and I have to study the laws and cases of the wizarding world for a while before we can officially do this job... It feels a bit... messy to understand now..." Mr. Crivatt laughed dryly, "But Alan, Penello and I Her mother discovered after in-depth understanding that the magic world is not as backward as we imagined... Uh, sorry, I mean it is not as uncomfortable as imagined, these novel things are quite exciting to us ordinary people..."

"Great, it's an honor for Harris... It's also a blessing for the wizarding world to have the help of professionals like you..." Allen complimented, and he fully sensed that Mr. Clearwater felt that the laws of the wizarding world were like lump of squashed shit...

"Here we are, this is Hatchards Bookstore, it is undoubtedly the most noble bookstore..." At this time, Mrs. Crivatt pointed to the long line of parents and children in front of him and said, "It has three royal guarantees. , which meant providing books to the Queen, but it also had celebrity regulars such as Oscar Wilde and Lord Byron.”

On the notice board outside the window, a colorful new book poster is hanging. On the poster with purple and orange as the background color, a little wizard wearing glasses rides a broomstick through the arched doorway, and it is impressively written " Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,

J.K. Rowling".

The comments of the readers waiting for the signing in the queue reached Alan and his ears.

"My son heard about it from his classmates, so he insisted on buying a copy..."

"I've already finished reading it, this time I came here for autographs, it's really amazing...it can actually construct such a magical world! But that Voldemort is really scary..."

"My sister is 13 this year and has been talking about getting an owl. She thinks Hogwarts missed her acceptance letter and wants to write them herself... for Voldemort's sake, she's 13 Years old…"

...

"Hatchards Bookstore still inherits the spirit of the past." Mr. Clearwater's expression also became a little proud, "But the line is too long. It seems that we will have to wait for a long time if we want to go in..."

"It's time for you to get used to magic..." Penelope waved his hand after finishing speaking, and the Muggles and shop assistants in line ignored their line-jumping behavior and let them walk in swaggeringly.

Mrs. Clearwater, who was not used to magic and wizards treating ordinary people, seemed a little uncomfortable: "Strictly speaking, Penelope, it is illegal for wizards to cast spells on ordinary people..."

Penello laughed softly: "As an Auror, I suspect that there is something wrong with this store, and it's urgent..."

Mr. Clearwater also muttered: "Your laws have left too many back doors..."

Entering the bookstore, it looks like an old house with no boundaries, and the small rooms on the six floors are all connected together around the central staircase. Allen looked at it and said: "This reminds me of Hogwarts to a certain extent. "

"Speaking of which, you wizards are really powerful..." Mrs. Clearwater introduced with great interest, "This novel depicting your wizarding world received rave reviews as soon as it came out. J.K. Rowling, a new author, has gained fame in a short period of time. …I've heard it's a dark horse favorite to win the National Book Award for Children's Fiction and the Smarty Book Gold Medal next year."

"But ordinary people don't know... In fact, JK Rowling's famous time is even shorter-the wizard's ability is really powerful...It is so easy to manipulate the memory of ordinary people, making people mistake the book that has just been released for a long time. It was published on June 26." Mr. Clearwater sighed, "Letizia, so it is the safest way for us to live in the magic world. Accident…."

"The wizarding world is not very stable recently... but the UK is not bad." Allen nodded, "Penello is already well-known in the wizarding world... Sorry, Mr. Clearwater, Mrs. Clearwater, this is for you Normal life has had an impact, but rest assured you will have adequate security in the wizarding world."

Following the crowd in line, they finally saw J.K. Rowling, a female Muggle disguised as a witch, sitting behind the signing table with a huge publicity board behind her.

Different from Rita Skeeter's usual flamboyant appearance, this blond, blue-eyed, thin woman wearing a black dress looks much more low-key and tasteful. Many Muggle media held their cameras and took pictures back and forth.

"Everything seems to be going well, within a short period of time..." Penello raised his arm, blocking a reader who squeezed in for Allen, "Compared to her in the wizarding world, she is more popular in the Muggle world But far more than when she was in the wizarding world..."

"She enjoys being the center of attention now." Allen's Legilimency sensed Rita's thoughts, "She is considering switching to writing novels full-time, and has the desire to become a real novelist...News reports must be objective and fair, so she Not very liked by wizards, but novels, especially this kind of novels, can be fictional, and you can let your own whimsy fly. To be honest, for Rita, a novelist is indeed more suitable for her as a Ravenclaw. .”

"Alan, her progress in Muggle society is going well... But we don't count. The International Federation of Wizards issued a solemn statement because of this incident, thinking that we have seriously violated the "Secrecy Act"... and are considering sanctioning us... "Penello approached Alan, pulled Alan away from the parents who had already walked to the bookshelf to choose books, and whispered, "The red umbrella department has been well established now, do you want me to take someone to pick some disobedient ones? of…"

Penello's voice was cold, and the palm of his hand quickly and forcefully gestured on his neck, making a throat-cutting gesture of cutting his throat horizontally.

"Penello, Harris is not a mafia..." Allen shook his head exaggeratedly and looked back, "I will also attend the meeting of the International Federation of Wizards, just explain it to them face to face...so use Without these methods, at least not now..."

"So... speaking of wishes..." Penello licked his lips, "You haven't told me what Hermione and Luna's wishes are?"

"If you wish, Emily is as good as Daisy...I gave her the Firebolt I used in the World Cup, and Emily is very happy..." Allen answered the question, he looked at Penello's The expression knew that they couldn't escape, so they changed their tone, "It's useless for them to keep their wishes...Penello, it's not a wish to go shopping with you today, your wish will be used when you think about it."
