Lihen Bookstore was sealed like this, and everything inside was moved away by staff from the Legal Enforcement Department for a detailed investigation; there were also Aurors at the door to guard it.

Therefore, Matthew Wakefield was able to leave the dark, damp and mosquito-filled cabin in the basement.

Matthew himself naturally had no objection to this; although his pet toad might have a different view on this.

In fact, Matthew no longer needs to find a store and work as a "temporary worker" during the summer.

Because there were already a lot of Garons in his pocket—

Including some money given to him by Draco Malfoy last semester (so Matthew felt a little guilty when he spoke the name Lucius Malfoy in front of Minister Millison Barnold).

And the salary prepaid to him by Mr. Shafik, the manager of Lihen Bookstore, and the "stolen money" involved in smuggling (the Ministry of Magic did not recover the money).

Of course, Minister Millison Barnold gave him a reward of almost fifty Gallons on behalf of the Ministry of Magic.

The money added up was more than enough, enough for Matthew to live a fulfilling life in Diagon Alley for two months until he returned to Hogwarts in September.

...

Soon, Matthew got used to such a free and easy life.

Get up whenever you want, go wherever you want, eat whatever you want... As long as you don't violate the restrictions on underage Muggle wizards like him, don't go out of the crumbling bar, and come into contact with the Muggle world, you can do anything!

Matthew has been living in the Broken Cauldron Bar during this period. It happened that he was still in Room 13, which he lived a year ago.

Every morning he would have breakfast in the broken cauldron bar, and by the way he looked at other customers: the strange-looking witch from the countryside; the noisy dwarf; the fierce debate about an article in "Today's Curse" and the seemingly irreconcilable male witch...

After breakfast, sometimes he would choose to go back to Room 13 to read a book; or he would walk into the backyard, take out his magic wand, knock on a magic stone brick that stretches from the bottom left and dozens of times, then take a step back and watch the door of Diagon Alley opens in the wall.

Some interesting shops in Diagon Alley quickly attracted Matthew's attention—

For example, a wizard tour agency on "Horror Journey" has its office located at 59 Diagon Alley.

The travel routes they launched include: renting the Vampire Castle in Transylvania, pursuing the "Zombie Traces", facing the living dead, taking a cruise across the Bermuda Triangle, etc. The price of the journey is not expensive, and it can even be called "good and cheap". However, unlike Muggles, the "Terror Travel" travel agency is not responsible for any accidental death or personal injury.

And the "Bouncing Magic Joke Shop", this store sells a variety of funny and funny products.

However, most of them are not practical gadgets. Matthew once met the George/Fred Weasley brothers who were about to enter the fourth grade of the Gryffindor Academy. They were buying a magic firecracker called "Trick Drawing Fireworks" at the time. According to reports, this kind of firecracker only needs to be exposed to a little water and can be ignited.

Of course, there is also the most popular "Qidditch Boutique".

This store is exhibiting the latest version of the fastest "Bright Wheel 2001" type broom in the window during this period, which has attracted countless spectators.

Although in Hogwarts, flying classes are no longer formal courses and there is no Quidditch competition held by the school, this does not prevent Quidditch from still being a very popular sport; of course, brooms are often a very practical means of transportation.

Matthew once planned to buy a flying broom for himself... he didn't have to ask for the latest model of "Bright Wheel 2001", just a very ordinary one, just treat it as a means of transportation.

But when he looked at the price, he immediately gave up the idea.

Even the cheapest "Comet 260" model is priced at 150 Gallons, which is far from affordable for Matthew.

...

During these long, sunny days, Matthew visited the entire Diagon Alley, of course, except for the forbidden alley.

He likes to taste ice cream while reading books outside the "Florin Cold Drink Shop". The ice cream made by Mr. Florin Fosco tastes great, and he claims that it does not contain any sugar and will not gain weight after eating it.

At the same time, he also secretly listened to the wizards around him, eagerly discussing the two recent major cases, "Lihen Bookstore Smuggling Case", and "Azkaban Prison Break Case"-

"I can tell that Shafik's black-hearted guy is definitely not a good thing!"

"Lihen Bookstore has been seized, so what should the students of Hogwarts do? You must know that their textbooks were bought there."

"I'm also worried about this problem. Shafik also seems to have a daughter, whose name seems to be 'Elaine', and she seems to be at the age of going to Hogwarts!"

...

"It is said that three prisoners escaped at once, which is terrible. This has never happened to Azkaban before."

"Personally, this is too dangerous. If the three prisoners had not returned to Azkaban, I would never allow my children to go out alone until then."

"The gossip said that the three escaped prisoners were actually black wizards... and they did not escape themselves, but someone answered..."

...

Days pass day by day.

As school starts approaching, Jin Jialong in Matthew's wallet is also slowly bottoming out.

More and more students from Hogwarts can be seen in Diagon Alley.

In the Quidditch boutique, Matthew once saw Vincent Crabb and Gregory Goll, who stared at the "Bright Wheel 2001" in the window, his eyes shining; and outside the sealed Lihen Bookstore, Matthew saw the real Harry Evans alone, looking at the closed door, looking at the closed door, looking at the look of helplessness; and at the door of Mrs. Mojin's robe store, Matthew saw Penelo Crivat, who was trying out a new robe...

Soon, it was only a few days before the end of the summer vacation.

He was already in Room 13 of the Broken Cauldron Bar and packed his suitcase.

When Matthew Wakefield put down his Standard Spell Level 2 (he read the textbook almost several times in a summer vacation), when he walked out of the room and down the stairs, thinking about what to eat for lunch—

"Matthew! Matthew!"

Someone shouted his name loudly.
