Chapter 871 Unemployed Rita Skeeter

Lupin came only at lunch time, and he had been working at the newspaper office all morning. ?

Because he had to go to the underground world to communicate with those werewolves during this time, he naturally did not have much energy to deal with the newspaper office. He recommended several excellent editors and managers to Ai Wen, many of whom were dug from the Daily Prophet. over here.

They had considerable experience in keeping the paper running even when Lupin was away.

But many important things still have to be decided by him, or mailed to Ivan for decision.

When he was at Hogwarts, Ivan received this kind of letter for a few minutes a week. After consulting Lupin and the management of the newspaper, he consulted with Hermione to make a decision, and then fed it back.

When he went out to contact the giant some time ago, all these things were left to Hermione and Lupin.

In the month that Ivan and Hermione arrived in Egypt, everything was on Lupin alone.

He had to leave the Underworld every now and then and come back to deal with these things, which made him even more haggard.

Simply, he hasn't really integrated into the werewolf group, and if he does, I'm afraid he will disappear for a long time.

Ai Wen and the others have been eliminating the foxes in the curtains, which is more troublesome than expected.

Kreacher also came to help halfway through, but they still spent the morning.

Finally, the curtains stopped humming, they hung limply, wet from the spray of too much potion, and beneath them lay the unconscious foxes in the bucket, next to a In the bowl are their black eggs.

Crookshanks sniffed around, and Fred and George looked at them warmly.

This thing can be used to make powerful love potions, but it is slightly poisonous.

It's poisonous if taken in a certain amount, and Fred and George thought they could handle the toxicity.

"Okay, let's deal with those after lunch."

Mrs Weasley pointed to the dusty glass-doored cabinets on either side of the mantelpiece, stuffed with all sorts of oddities: a collection of rusted daggers, animal claws, a coiled snakeskin , and a lot of silver boxes of dull black with incomprehensible ancient characters engraved on them, and the most disliked is a decorative crystal bottle with a large opal embedded in the stopper, and the bottle is full of It must be blood.

Simply put, these are black magic items or have evil black magic cast on them.

It's not beautiful and dangerous to keep these things like this, and Mrs. Weasley can't let them be left here.

She was going to pack them all up and wait until Sirius came back to deal with it.

With Ai Wen's knowledge of Sirius, he would probably pack up and throw away all these things.

He was disgusted with everything in the house, even the surname "Black."

If so, it would be a pity!

Ai Wen beckoned to Kreacher and told the elf to pick out a few of them and bring them to himself.

He was intrigued by the black magic on it, especially the silver boxes engraved with ancient writing.

When they had just reached the kitchen, there was a screeching doorbell.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Black's shrill scream echoed throughout the house again.

Mrs. Weasley hurried over to open the door, and down the narrow, dim corridor, Mundungus was seen coming in, carrying a large pile of cauldrons that were about to fall.

"It's Mundungus!" Ivan said, taking out a long parchment sheet from his arms, "He probably asked me to get the broom material purchase list, we'd better check to see if there is anything left. thing."

"Why did he bring so many cauldrons?" Hermione asked.

"Probably want to find a safe place to hide." Ivan said, and Hermione suddenly fell silent.

It made him feel very uncomfortable, it wasn't Hermione's style.

If it were normal, she would definitely start analyzing this matter directly.

"It must be!" Harry continued. "Isn't that what he was doing that night when he was supposed to be stalking me? Buying an unknown cauldron?"

"Yes, you are right!"

They saw Mundungus laboriously carry the cauldrons through the door, but Mrs Weasley stopped him.

The next second, even if they were far away, they could still hear an explosion, even louder than Mrs. Black's, and everyone could clearly hear Mrs. Weasley's screams.

"We're not a place to hide loot here!" cried Mrs Weasley, looking at Mundungus angrily, "totally irresponsible, as if we didn't have enough troubles, and you've got to put this Lots of stolen cauldrons dragged into the house!"

"I like my mother yelling at people like that," Fred said.

"That fool, how could he let her get angry." George shook his head and said, "She must be diverted as soon as possible, or she will get more and more angry, and keep yelling for hours on end. Ha. Leigh, Mommy's been looking forward to giving Mundungus a hard lesson since he sneaked away when he was supposed to be following you."

Sure enough, Mrs Weasley's reprimand went on for a long time.

In the end, Mundungus had to take away those cauldrons, and before leaving, also took Ivan's purchase list and Jin Galleon.

He obviously doesn't plan to buy these things in Diagon Alley, he has his own sourcing channels.

Ai Wen guessed that it must be in Knockturn Alley or the underground world. If conditions did not allow it, he really wanted to go see it with Mundungus.

After lunch, Irving, Hermione and Lupin went out to Diagon Alley.

Harry wanted to go, but he was now an important protection object, and he could only stay in the house and couldn't go anywhere.

As for Ron, Ginny, Fred and George, Mrs Weasley wouldn't let them out either.

After some whirlwind, Irving, Hermione and Lupin appear at the Leaky Cauldron.

It was as peaceful as it had been a few months ago, without the tension of Voldemort's return.

Because the school's list for the new semester has not come out, naturally there are not many students who come to Diagon Alley to purchase.

The Leaky Cauldron is full of cute little witches who come from the country to buy things in Diagon Alley, witches who have nothing to do, and a few old wizards who are leisurely drinking and playing cards. The bar owner Tom is carefully wiping his glasses behind the bar. .

After Lupin left, Ivan and Hermione found a corner table and ordered two glasses of juice.

Hermione has been looking at the material that Harry was attacked by Dementors, ignoring Ai Wen.

Ai Wen knew what he had to say and broke the silence.

But he looked for a few topics, and Hermione didn't answer.

"Woman!" Ai Wen bit the straw, kept her eyes level with Hermione, and touched Hermione with her toes pitifully.

Hermione's feet stepped back, and Ai Wen stepped forward a little further.

After just a few seconds, Hermione was unable to retreat.

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists and prepared to talk to Ai Wen about what happened last night.

Hermione just looked up and saw a familiar woman walk in from outside, it was Rita Skeeter.

She looked around and saw Ivan and Hermione, the expression was like being forced to drink stinky juice. 8 For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
