stray in HP

Ten years passed in a flash, and the wizarding world remained the same as before. Although Voldemort was tentatively carrying out some reforms, reforms, while some people benefited, others would naturally lose their benefits.

Most of the benefited are pure-blooded nobles. Over the years, the gap between pure-blooded nobles and ordinary wizards has gradually been seen.Seeing vested interests, some originally neutral Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff families also joined the ranks of Death Eaters. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Order of the Phoenix was re-established.

However, in addition to self-development, Death Eaters also pay great attention to public welfare. Ordinary wizards only know that they have benefited, so how can they think that Death Eaters are evil people, and instead praise them.Just two years ago, Abraxas Malfoy successfully became the Minister of Magic. He is handsome in appearance, has a good demeanor, and he can talk and show off. Therefore, his approval rate in the magic circle is Quite high, almost hailed as the greatest Minister of Magic in recent centuries.

As for Voldemort, he did not hold any position, but he already had great influence among the nobles, and he publicly declared that he had inherited Slytherin Castle. It was extremely shocking.The surname Slytherin has such appeal.

And the two of their sons, Lucius, are about to enter school now. He is an extremely precocious child. Although he has not yet entered school, he seems to be the leader of the next generation of noble children.

In the past ten years, Li Zixu and Salazar have become like an old married couple. Every time they raise their hands, they show a tacit understanding. The other party can know what the other party wants with just one movement and one look. .

"Hey, something is wrong with the situation in the Muggle world!" Most of the time, the sky in London is foggy, but at this moment, there is a sense of panic. Salazar put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, Li Zixu who was standing on the side said.

"It's just another economic crisis, there will be one every few years!" Li Zixu looked indifferent, he stood a little sluggishly, feeling the gloomy atmosphere that seemed to be everywhere in the air, and shook his head slightly.

"Forget it, just walk around!" Originally, I wanted to find a place to eat in London, but looking at those restaurants, most of them are full of unlucky people crowded in for a cup of coffee that can be refilled. Don't go to recruit hatred value.

Salazar didn't know much about the economy. He only knew that the past two years had not been smooth everywhere on Earth, but at least there had been no major natural disasters on the European continent. However, prices had skyrocketed, and some people couldn't even buy a single potato. get up.His consciousness flew over the European continent, and it seemed to be the same everywhere, but those merchants would rather dump unsalable food into the sea than sell it at a low price.

It seems that unemployment and bankruptcy have become the most frequently occurring words in this era. I don’t know how many people who engage in financial investment business have lost a lot. By the Thames River, you can always see some people who are so desperate that they jump into the river.

Salazar sighed softly. Such an atmosphere seemed to stagnate his divine power. He exhaled lightly and said, "Fortunately, the abyss has long been separated from this plane. Otherwise, such an atmosphere would How many demons will the abyss breed!"

Li Zixu also shrugged helplessly: "Probably only the gods and demons of the evil and chaotic camp will feel comfortable in this atmosphere! Of course, if any god sends a miracle right now, it is estimated that he will also gain a lot of faith. Go ahead, operate it well, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the Holy See!"

Salazar was a little moved, but he still shook his head and said, "That God has long been the main god. Even in the God's Domain, he is also the King of God. How many people dare to preach in his territory!"

The two of them walked along the street while talking. Even if the shops were not full of customers in the past, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are empty now. The sign fluttered in the wind, showing a sense of bleakness.

It’s late autumn now, the temperature in London is already very low, coupled with the continuous rain, many people are shivering from the cold, and some thin children with extremely thin clothes and blue lips from the cold can be seen on the street collecting donations. Most of them come from some orphanages. In this era, the children in the orphanage obviously cannot get enough food and clothing, and the well-meaning people can’t eat enough themselves. How can they donate money to the orphanage? As for the government’s appropriation, How useful is it when this kind of inflation and prices change three times a day?

When Salazar and the others came to a seemingly quiet neighborhood, it didn't seem to be affected by the economic crisis. The middle-class people living here still lived as usual, and some older boys took care of it. On the lawn, children gather and play in twos and threes. Some housewives come back with shopping baskets. When they meet people they know, they will stop to say hello and chat about the weather. Of course, they will occasionally complain about the outrageous prices. .

"Mrs. White, your daughter is so lovely!"

"Mrs. Smith, your son is also a handsome young man. I heard he is learning boxing?"

"Yes, he's going to be a strong man, don't you think?"

"Of course!"

"Today's tomatoes are very good, and the price is not bad! Mrs. White, what do you think?"

"It's really good. It's very fresh. Where did I buy it? I'll check it out tomorrow. I can make tomato and beef soup tonight!"

"Let's go together tomorrow!"

"Thank you so much! By the way, Mrs. Smith, guess who I saw today?"

"Do I know you too?"

"Of course, do you remember the Snape family who used to live across from my house?"

"Snape!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed in a low voice. "Oh, as I remember, Mrs. Snape doesn't seem to be very good at getting along with her neighbors! Well, didn't they move last year? Where did they move?"

Mrs. White showed a look of disgust: "I heard that it is Spider's End, oh, God, that kind of place, I heard that the people there are all thieves, robbers, and villains! How could the Snape family move to that kind of place?" Place! Mrs. Smith, you don't know, I was shocked when I saw Mrs. Snape today!"

Seeing Mrs. Smith's curious expression, Mrs. White continued with some satisfaction: "Although Mrs. Snape is not a great beauty, she was originally tidy and decent, but today When I saw her, I couldn't recognize her at first! She looks like she is ten years older now, her hair is dry, and she is pitifully thin!"

She looked around and lowered her voice: "Mrs. Smith, you didn't see that her face was bruised. It looks like she was beaten!"

"God, how could it be like this!" Mrs. Smith opened her mouth in surprise, "Mr. Snape doesn't care?"

"Maybe it was Mr. Snape who called!" Mrs. White whispered, "I inquired around the area, and I heard that Mr. Snape didn't know how to find another suitable job, and instead drank heavily all day long. Poor My dear Mrs. Snape, now she has to do some rough work for others, and she managed to earn some money, but she was taken away by Mr. Snape in a blink of an eye, and went to the pub to drink!"

"And what about little Snape? That kid is not even five years old, as far as I remember!"

"Who knows?" Mrs. White showed a look of pity on her face, "Poor Mrs. Snape, poor little Snape, their lives are going to be ruined like this!"

The voices of these two people were not loud, and they were still some distance away from Salazar and the others. However, they were still heard by Salazar and the others. Salazar frowned slightly: "Snape, does this surname seem familiar?"

Li Zixu quickly remembered: "Oh, isn't the surname of Irene Prince married to Snape? Sal, I think they should be talking about Irene and the others!"

A trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Salazar's mouth: "Is it that innocent little girl? What a tragedy!" He turned his head to look at Li Zixu's face, and asked, "Al, do you want to go and see?"

Li Zixu sighed softly: "After all, I agreed to Old Prince! It seems that it is not good for Old Prince to entrust the family's children. If something happens to him before entering school, Prince will The family will also be removed from the magic world! If it's really Irene, I don't know if she won't regret it now!"

"Slytherin will never regret it!" Salazar snorted softly, "Since it is her own choice, it is her own choice! It is really a pity for her child!" Salazar also With some emotion, the history of the Prince family can be traced back to the era of Merlin, and they were also well-known in Salazar's era. Unfortunately, at this level now, if you don't pay attention, the Prince family will become history.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look!" Li Zixu knew that Salazar still had feelings for the magic world, and with the old Prince's entrustment, he made a sudden decision to go and have a look!If not, then bring that child back to the magic world!
