Chapter 186 Changes In Knockturn Alley, Changes In Resurrection Stone

Diagon Alley, Arya Manor.

Today is the second day of Christmas. At this time, Alvin is sitting by the window bored, enjoying the snow outside the window.

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Alvin's thoughts drifted to nowhere.

He suddenly found that life after leaving Hogwarts was so boring.

Without a few little girls around, and without the funny Weasley brothers, life suddenly became dull.

In particular, Arya has been on the right track, and there is absolutely nothing that needs his efforts.

This made him feel even more empty.

At this moment, Alia pushed open the door and walked in.

"You've watched the snow scene all morning, aren't you bored?"

Getting herself a cup of tea, Arya teases Alvin.

Stretching, Alvin stood up, "No way, who made you so capable, I found it unnecessary for me to appear here."

Hearing Alvin's compliments, Arya was also very useful.

Everyone wants their achievements to be recognized by those who value them, and Alvin's words are the biggest compliment to her.

Although she thought so in her heart, Arya was still very humble, "You have won the prize, I'm still far behind, at least there is still some darkness in England that we can't touch."

Alvin was a little speechless, he didn't expect the witch in front of him to be so ambitious.

In today's Knockturn Alley, the Arya family can be said to be covering the sky with one hand, and even many pure-blooded nobles now have to look at her face and act.

The most obvious example is Borgin Bock.

As a pure-blooded twenty-eighth family, Boginbok, as long as he wants to continue doing business in Knockturn Alley, must obtain Arya's consent and give her a portion of the profits.

But he didn't want to worry about it, anyway, no matter how Arya developed, it was the power he had in the end.

Seeing Alvin's bored appearance, the witch invited: "Anyway, you have nothing important right now, why don't you accompany me to patrol Knockturn Alley."

Every month, Aaliyah will visit all the businesses in Knockturn Alley to check the operation of each shop, or whether there are any violations of their rules.

Of course, this invitation to Alvin also meant to show him his credit.

Alvin has never interfered in her affairs since he helped her conquer the other two families.

Although this kind of boss was her dream, Alvin's indifferent attitude also made the witch a little depressed.

Just take this opportunity to let Alvin know how well-organized Knockturn Alley is.

Hearing Arya's invitation, Alvin nodded and agreed.

It's a big New Year's Eve, and I'm also idle when I'm idle, so it's better to go out for a walk.

After changing into a black robe, Alvin and Arya left the manor.

Walking down the street that turns into the alley, the situation here is very different from when Alvin first came

The rubbish that used to be everywhere, the wandering wizards sleeping on the streets, have disappeared.

Instead, clean floors and clean walls.

If it weren't for the pedestrians on the street, it was still hidden, and there were not as many people as Diagon Alley. Alvin almost thought it was Diagon Alley.

"These people respect you very much."

Along the way, all the shopkeepers or principals who saw Alvin and Alia would come forward and say hello respectfully.

"There's no respect, it's just fear."

Arya laughed to herself.

Being able to manage this group of wizards with complex composition and orderly management is not something that can be achieved by the respect of others.

Blood and fire along the way are also essential.

Alvin naturally understood what she meant, but he didn't say anything. Arya is not a weak woman and doesn't need other people's comfort.

"Has the Ministry of Magic noticed any changes here?"

It is said that the changes in Knockturn Alley should be seen by all interested people, but the Ministry of Magic has indeed been slow to act.

This also makes Alvin somewhat incomprehensible.

Hearing Alvin asking about this, Arya's face really became weird.

"Actually… the Ministry of Magic has already sent someone.

Um?

Hearing this, Alvin was a little surprised, why didn't he hear her say it before?

Afraid of Alvin's misunderstanding, Arya hurriedly told what happened

"Actually, I wanted to report to you back then, but it was Lockhart who was sent by the Ministry of Magic to investigate. 35

what?

Could there be such a coincidence?

Is this the person the legend sent me to investigate me?

Seeing Alvin's unexpected expression, Arya nodded in confirmation.

".々 I was also surprised at the beginning, but this is also a good thing. Lockhart greeted us in advance, and let us make a gesture of cooperation between the three major families to fool the Ministry of Magic.

"It was simple after that, we gave Fudge some Galleons, and we promised nothing would go wrong, and it was over.99

Nodding, Alvin also understood everything, he said with certainty.

"Is it something to do with Lockhart's promotion so quickly after that?"

"You're right, that's it, it's a blessing in disguise."

Sure enough, it would be a waste for Lockhart to be a liar teaching or something. He was born to be a politician.

Just as the two were walking and chatting, Alvin suddenly felt that the resurrection stone that he used as a pendant became a little hot.

I took out the resurrection stone and found that the color of the soul-killing stone (Dewang Hao) had not changed, but it was flashing a strange red light.

"What is this?" Alia asked curiously.

Alvin didn't answer, it was the first time he saw the resurrection stone in this state.

Looking around, Alvin didn't notice anything special.

Walking around tentatively, Alvin found that the temperature of the resurrection stone was also changing.

Finally, after he stopped and walked for a while, he came to an abandoned house.

The temperature of the resurrection stone no longer changed after approaching the house, and Alvin was probably able to determine that the reason for the change in the resurrection stone was inside.

But when Arya saw this house, her face changed.

Pushing open the door, Alvin walked straight in, an illusory figure was absorbed by the resurrection stone, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even react.
