Chapter 242 St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital
Ivan, Harry and Hermione excitedly discussed the future design and planning of the store, the products that can be sold here and the pricing.
Lupin checked around the house by himself to see if there were any dangers and hidden dangers that needed to be solved. In less than ten minutes, he found two Boggarts, a dozen broods of mice and spiders, a large group of foxes, and patches of patchwork.
It is a parasitic magical creature that is extremely easy to survive and reproduce.
They look like greenish-eyed fungi that crawl under floors and behind skirting boards, appearing in swarms in houses.
Usually when something rots and emits a foul odor, there will be spots.
Once a house has spotted awns, they will slowly secrete a corrosive substance that slowly corrodes the foundation of the house.
"Very bad, we have to deal with these patchy awns as soon as possible!" Lupin turned over a floor and motioned for Ivan, Harry, and Hermione to look inside.
Ai Wen saw a large patch of splotches attached to the rotting floor, and because they were frightened, they hurried away with countless slender legs.
"Generally speaking, the Sweeping Charm will be very effective against Bendia." Lupin clapped his hands and stood up, "But there are too many Bendians here, and taking action easily may have very serious consequences. , even knocking down the house. We need to get in touch with the Ministry of Magic's Pest Advisory Committee and they'll send someone to take care of this."
As Lupin said, the house has been abandoned for too long, and it is not protected by all kinds of magic like 12 Grimmauld Place, and the house is in very bad condition.
Just as they were figuring out what to do with the troublesome creatures living in the shop, Sirius walked in.
He has changed to a new wand, a beautiful black wand made of hawthorn wood with a dragon's heart tendon cord. In addition to the new wand, he was carrying a cage in his hand. There was a beautiful little owl in it, and when he saw Ai Wen and the others, he kept screaming in excitement.
"I just went to the owl store next door and bought this owl for that Weasley boy named Ron," Sirius said. "He might be willing to keep this owl, it's my fault after all. , he lost the rat..."
"He'll be happy, Ron has always wanted a pet of his own."
"As long as he likes it!" Sirius said with a smile, put the cage on the ground, walked into the store and looked around, "Ai Wen, how do you feel here?"
"The layout is very good, similar to what I imagined, but it needs to be cleaned up. Before you came, we also found a large patch of splotches."
"This shop hasn't been used for a long time, so it's not surprising that there are these things." Sirius opened the floor and looked at it, frowning and said, "These things are not easy to deal with, we'd better go to eat first, and then visit Your friends. In the meantime, I'll tell Kreacher to clean this place briefly first."
"Bendia can be put in charge of me," Lupin continued. "I have an acquaintance on the Pest Advisory Committee who is an expert in dealing with this creature."
Everyone talked for a while, then returned to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch.
Then, they set off to see Ron at the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. This time, they didn't take the Knights Bus. Sirius and Lupin took Ivan, Harry, and Hermione with them.
After a bang, they appeared on a wide Muggle street.
"Where is St Mungo's Hospital?" Harry looked around curiously. "Why don't we just Apparate in?"
"When the hospital was first established, the people did this, but as the number of patients gradually increased, the Ministry of Magic banned Apparition in the hospital, which was prone to accidents." Lupin explained, "As for the location, we now Right in front of the hospital."
In front of them was an old-fashioned red-brick department store called Tao Tao Co., Ltd.
It looked decayed and deserted. There were only a few cracked dummies in the window, wearing wigs crookedly, in different poses, wearing clothes from at least ten years ago, and hanging on the dusty doors. brand.
Near a particularly ugly female dummy, Ai Wen felt a strange magical breath.
"Go this way!" Sirius muttered, pushing Aiwen, Harry, and Hermione three people in front of him, "There are too many Muggles here, and there is not enough land in Diagon Alley, and the Ministry of Magic finally found it. A hospital is being built at this address because patients can mix in and out of the crowd.”
Next to them is a Muggle commercial street, with a constant stream of people and cars, in stark contrast to Diagon Alley.
"Aren't these Muggles at home for Christmas?" Sirius asked curiously, "What are they all running out for?!"
"This neighborhood is a commercial area. During the holidays, people can come here for dinner, shopping, singing, watching movies, etc." Ivan noticed the confusion on Sirius's face, and he continued to explain, "Movie is a machine that converts The specific actions of people are recorded and replayed on the big screen..."
"I know, it's a special Muggle magic, and the effect is similar to that of a Pensieve!" Sirius looked up and looked around, and unconsciously placed his right hand on the wand around his waist, "We'll discuss this issue later, the three of you better stay away. I'm close, so if something goes wrong, I can take action."
Looking at the appearance of Sirius, Ivan doubted whether he really understood what he said.
In fact, except in special cases like Mr. Weasley, wizards know very little about the Muggle world, and most people know it hundreds of years ago.
Regarding the rapid development of technology in the Muggle world, the wizarding world basically adopts an attitude of disregarding it.
An idea suddenly popped into Ai Wen's mind. Maybe he could try to cooperate with Mr. Weasley to introduce some of the more advanced mechanical equipment in the Muggle world into the magic world, which might have unexpected effects.
Unfortunately, the defensive magic of Hogwarts prohibits the operation of all electronic equipment, and can only be promoted in Diagon Alley first.
Ivan considered the feasibility of this matter in his mind, and followed behind Harry to the female dummy in a green nylon skirt that he had just felt abnormal.
"We're going in, are you three ready?" Sirius asked.
Everyone nodded and moved closer to the center.
Ai Wen saw Lupin standing at the front approaching the window, looking up at the ugly dummy, his breath blurred the glass.
"Hello, we're here to see Ron Weasley."
At that moment, Ivan thought that Lupin looked funny, talking in such a small voice through the glass, and the street behind was full of the sound of passing cars.
The same was true for Harry and Hermione. They looked up at Lupin and Sirius suspiciously, then opened their mouths in surprise, only the dummy in front of them nodded slightly and moved their linked fingers.
The next second, they seemed to pass through a layer of cold water and immediately entered a warm and dry room.
The ugly dummy and where she stood were gone, and they entered St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. (To be continued.)
