The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

"Emma, ​​it's me." Aini was wandering the streets of London with his mobile phone in his hands. Hogwarts entered the exam week, which made him relax instead.

Also at leisure was Bill Weasley, whose Transfiguration and Charms exams for all grades were taken by Professor Flitwick and McGonagall, who kind of ended the school year early.

Without waiting for the younger brothers at school, Bill rushed back to the Burrow early this morning. When he said goodbye, Aini seemed to see the smile of his sister slave.

After watching Bill leave, Aini came to London from Hogsmeade. Speaking of which, technology is indeed much more convenient than magic in some places, such as communication.

In 85, mobile phones began to emerge in the UK. In just 7 years, this thing is no longer a rarity.

Compared with the owls flying around in the sky, just a few buttons can make Aini instantly connect to Africa.

"Thank you for calling me, I almost forgot that there is a boss."

After the call was connected, strong resentment rushed straight along with the roar of the motor. It is difficult for anyone to be thrown into the barren land of Africa in mid-June.

"Mostly the exec is so good, she makes the boss a bit redundant."

"Come on, don't try to trick me with this trick again." Ms. Capet said that your tricks of coaxing people are too old, and she doesn't use this trick now.

"How is the situation in the UK?" Fortunately, Cape just complained habitually. She likes the feeling of being fully trusted. If she changes to a boss who wants to intervene in everything, she will not get along well. .

"Don't worry, there will be no big troubles with Dumbledore. How about your side? In Ouagadou Valley?"

"I was there yesterday, it was a mess, it was only last week that the Muggle Prime Minister reorganized the government, the Ministry of Magic here is even worse than the Muggles, and they can't do things like the snakes Lord, all the resources are controlled by the seven wizard families."

Obviously, in Capet's impression, Burkina Faso is really terrible, especially with the weather in June, even with the magic cooling, it feels hot from the bottom of my heart.

"Thank you for your hard work. There may be some problems here next year. Rune snakes are of great use. Thank you, Emma."

"Boss, I still suggest that you leave the UK temporarily."

Aini chuckled and rejected the female subordinate's kindness.

If the time is really urgent, maybe he will really choose to play it safe, but the intensity of the conflict is not high before Voldemort's real resurrection.

Unless Voldemort himself ends in a few years, Peter, Crouch Jr. and his ilk won't cause much trouble.

The only one that has an overwhelming advantage in ability will not pose a threat after the rune snake is in place.

It is so tempting to think of the two huge vertical pupils in front of Aini's eyes, the basilisk that came across the millennium.

"Suck it!"

Sipping his overflowing saliva, Aini encouraged Capet a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

It seems that I have to go to Africa during the summer vacation. Why is it not enough before the vacation?

Taking the clover for the unicorns, Ernie entered Diagon Alley through the Broken Ax Bar, and he had to find Mrs. Witt.

No way, this is the happiness trouble that every growing child has.

The worry is that the clothes I liked before have become too small and I can't wear them. The happiness is that I have a legitimate reason to buy new clothes!

Aini didn't have any extra requirements for what to wear, and he couldn't dress himself like a peacock with its tail open like Lockhart.

"Mrs. Witt, can I borrow the fireplace?" After the proprietress finished measuring the size, Aini was about to leave.

"Of course, baby." Witt really likes this child who can be said to have grown up under his watch. Almost all of Aini's clothes since childhood were tailor-made by Mrs. Witt.

"It seems that you have had a good time at Hogwarts this year. The size of your clothes is one and a half sizes larger than my budget. This is really a happy thing. Ernie, I knew from a young age that you would definitely grow into Great lad."

"Thank you. Goodbye, Mrs. Witt." There was a blue bag hanging on the fireplace. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Witt, Aini grabbed a small handful of Floo powder from it...

"Wait a minute, Aini!" Seeing that he hadn't spilled the Floo powder yet, the proprietress quickly stopped him.

"Are you going back to Hogwarts?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from Aini, Mrs. Witt took out a pocket.

"Can you deliver this to the Hog's Head for me? By the way, tell Aberforth that I won't be taking this order next year."

Every year, Aberforth orders a set of ladies' dresses from the out-of-the-ordinary clothing store, and now there are almost a hundred pieces.

It seems that the deceased girl is still growing in the hands of the two store managers, like a flower in full bloom, every time you swing the scissors, every time you pull the silk thread, that proud flower will bloom even more.

Under the skillful hands of two master tailors, the flowers have shaken off the dew, washed away the lead, and just walked forward step by step every year.

From youthful to mature, wantonly showing the best years, those times that she should have had but suddenly broke.

Compared with Mrs. Witt, the previous store manager was undoubtedly lucky. Arianna's body was growing in her hands, and she became more charming every year.

But this year is already the 92nd dress made for Ariana by the Outer Clothes Shop. Even wizards can only delay their own aging, but they cannot stop it from coming.

Since 35 years ago, Mrs. Witt has made adjustments unconsciously when sewing this special gown.

Just like the natural growth of girls, they once made them more and more mature and perfect, but since then, Ariana, who grew up in the hands of the manager of the clothing store, began to grow old.

Ariana seemed to walk past Mrs. Witt as she handed out the gown.

Her body was a little stooped, and her back looked even thinner when she left alone.

Mrs. Witt had long been afraid to let her wear a backless dress, for fear of seeing Ariana's tarnished skin in her mind.

She was afraid to continue acting.

When she first took over the business from the old store manager, she just found it novel and interesting.

But to this day, she has invested too much energy in this girl, and she has already had an emotional resonance. The girl has successfully walked into her heart from a fantasy she thought was a little ridiculous, and turned into a kind of obsession. read.

She was afraid that one day Ariana would suddenly die from her "hands"...

She wanted to end the business and stop Ariana's time.

But if it ends here, then it is not a kind of demise without an end.

Seeing Ernie stepping into the fireplace, Mrs. Witt finally couldn't help shouting: "Forget those words, Ernie. Just bring the dress to Aberforth, and you don't need to say anything to him."

After the words fell, Aini had disappeared into the fireplace.

Mrs. Witt didn't know if Aini had heard her last instructions, she slumped down on the sofa feeling lost, as if she had lost all her strength for a moment, she just wanted to wander softly in the clouds.
