Chapter 566 The Vanishing Cabinet and the Pig Head Bar

Vanishing cabinets were very popular when Voldemort was in power.

The reason is very simple. If a Death Eater comes to your door, just hide in the cabinet and it will help you escape from the opponent's attack in the blink of an eye.

The disappearing cabinet can send you to many places, but this life-saving item is very troublesome and difficult to control. Your landing point may be above the sea or on a cliff.

The twins once stuffed a Slytherin student into the vanishing cabinet, only to have the person appear in a locked toilet cubicle. It’s just that Fred and George didn’t know it was the disappearing cabinet at the time.

Although the disappearing cabinet has many inconveniences, for people who are not proficient in apparation, the disappearing cabinet is indeed an escape artifact, although it is somewhat uncontrollable.

Borgin led Mr. Weasley to look at the vanishing cabinet. As Borkin said, the tall, black disappearing cabinet was broken. The magic circle engraved in it has also worn out a lot and cannot support it to complete the transmission.

As Voldemort was defeated by one-year-old Harry and the Death Eaters were captured in Azkaban, the market for disappearing cabinets gradually disappeared. Mr. Weasley hadn't seen this thing in a long time.

"Can it be fixed?" asked Mr. Weasley.

Mr. Weasley didn't know why Malfoy was interested in the Vanishing Cabinet, nor why he ended up buying the opal necklace. If he was still interested in the Vanishing Cabinet, he would definitely return to Borgin Burke.

Bo Jin shook his head in embarrassment and said: "No one has used the disappearing cabinet for a long time. It is very difficult to repair it. I am not even 10% sure."

The slick Bo Jin still didn't tell the truth. He had the ability to repair the disappearing cabinet. Otherwise, why would he recycle an old cabinet because he was kind-hearted?

Don't be ridiculous, this shop is a black shop that charges ten galleons for Slytherin's locket!

Mr. Weasley asked no more questions, knowing that he would get nothing out of him without being tortured. But the Ministry of Magic cannot do this to Borgin. At this time, the Ministry of Magic cannot force this group of people too much to prevent them from jumping over the wall.

Later in the day, Hogsmeade welcomed several Hogwarts graduates.

The weather in Scotland is even worse than in London. The wind blows on your face like a knife. Fred and George hunched forward against the wind, their cheeks numb with cold as they entered the dirty Hog's Head pub.

There was not a single customer in the shabby Hog's Head pub today. Aberforth was still standing behind the counter, wiping the glasses, but the cloth he used to wipe the glasses finally became clean.

There was a fire burning in the fireplace, and the twins went straight there and ordered two bottles of Butterbeer, which were still dirty. Taking out their own clean cups, the two brothers drank the sweet drink leisurely.

After a while, Lee Jordan, who had braids all over his head, came in. He also ordered a bottle of butterbeer and also brought his own cup.

"Hey! How's work going?" Fred asked.

Lee Jordan shook his head and said: "There are no good opportunities. Each team has their own commentator, and some of them are retired stars of the team. I can only wait for the vacancy, provided that I can wait."

"Brother, don't be discouraged!" George comforted, "Aren't we still there? The door of No. 93 Diagon Alley will always be open to you!"

After chatting for a while about work, the three began to reminisce about their youth and their lives at Hogwarts.

For example, how the three of them played tricks on their classmates, and how Lee Jordan threw two Nifflers into Umbridge's office after the twins left school, etc.

Just as the three of them were chatting heatedly, the door of the Pig Head Bar was pushed open again, and Angelina and Aaliyah walked in together.

As soon as she walked in, the enthusiastic Angelina said: "I didn't see you at the Three Broomsticks, so I thought you would be here."

The three people beside the fireplace responded equally enthusiastically to the two female classmates, and even gave them the warmest seat as a gentleman.

The group of people sat down again, and the conversation started again. This time the conversation shifted from Lee Jordan to Angelina and Aaliyah, asking them about their trial training with the professional team and whether they might be able to play in the upcoming Quidditch season.

Of course, the premise is that this year's Quidditch match will be held as scheduled and will not be affected by Voldemort's return.

Although we haven't seen each other for only two or three months, we all have a lot to say and chatter non-stop. The happy time is always short-lived, and the sky darkens before you know it, but everyone is still chatting enthusiastically.

As soon as it got dark, Cedric Diggory walked into the Hog's Head. While brushing off the rain, he walked towards his companions who were as noisy as sparrows.

"Hey! Our busy man is here!" Fred joked with a smile, "It's hard to see you."

Cedric smiled and said: "I'm not a busy person, but you two. The joke shop is so popular, it's really not easy to meet you."

"We won't tell you this," George said, "You are an official now, and we don't dare to disobey what you say."

Compared to bickering, Cedric was no match for the twins. But after studying in the ministry for a period of time, Cedric felt that he had made great progress, so he wanted to test whether he would still suffer when facing the twins.

"When it comes to being an official, I can't compare to you two." Cedric said reluctantly, "The minister met you personally for those cloaks. As for me, he may not even know my name."

Cedric said as he cleaned off the rain stains on his body, then sat down next to George, took George's butterbeer and took a long sip.

After chatting for a few more words, the six people became silent. Naturally, they came here today for Katie Bell.

A good friend was cursed and was seriously injured and hospitalized. If they didn't show any expression, what would they say!

A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. After graduating from Hogwarts, the six of them had a deeper understanding of this sentence, whether it was Cedric who was struggling in the Ministry of Magic, Lee Jordan who was running into obstacles, or Angie who was relatively smooth. Lina and Alia.

Aberforth was still wiping the cup. He had maintained that position for a long time, and he was also silently paying attention to the six people gathered together.

As Dumbledore of Hogsmeade, Aberforth was still impressed by these people and was not surprised by their arrival. Only Cedric. When Cedric walked into the bar, Aberforth was stunned for a moment.

In the Dawn study group, Cedric is the only one who is not a Gryffindor, and the time they spend together is relatively short. Now an employee of the Ministry of Magic, he returned to Hogwarts for Katie, which still surprised Aberforth.

Aberforth glanced sideways at the six people who were no longer noisy. There was an empty seat between the Weasley twins, and Aberforth knew who that seat was for.

Once the biggest thorn in Hogwarts, the female student union president, now the devil from France, that position was reserved for Ada.

As night fell, Aberforth walked out of the counter and lit the candlesticks in the store one by one, and the somewhat dirty bar suddenly became brighter. While Aberforth was busy, the dull six people started talking again.

"Do you know what happened specifically?" George asked. He and Fred only got the news that Katie was cursed by the opal necklace, but they didn't know the specific situation.

Angelina and Alia shook their heads, knowing the same thing as the twins. The same was true for Lee Jordan. He said angrily: "Don't let me know who it is. Leave him a good bone and I will lose!"

Cedric thought for a moment and said, "According to the information I learned, Mr. Weasley took people to Borgin-Bock this morning. I don't know if anything was found."

How much expectation there is in the first half of the sentence, how much disappointment there is in the second half. The friends all looked at him with disdain, which made Cedric feel guilty and kept touching the bridge of his nose.

At this moment, the door of the Pig Head Bar was pushed open again, bringing in a cold October wind.

Looking at the figure walking in, Aberforth sighed in his heart: She should come, she can't escape, how could she not come?
