BBC News: "A few days ago, the Greenwich Observatory observed velocity fluctuations in the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which aroused widespread concern among astronomy enthusiasts around the world...< br>

"This comet was discovered by American astronomers Eugene Shoemaker and Caroline Shoemaker and astronomy enthusiast David Levy...

"Initially, the comet broke away from the asteroid belt located outside the solar system and entered the solar system to become a periodic comet. According to the calculation of its orbit, the comet was split into 21 pieces due to the strong tidal force when it was 40,000 kilometers away from the surface of Jupiter. Broken pieces..."

The square-head TV hanging in the air in the supermarket broadcast the news of the previous day, but no one paid attention to the news content. The customers were busy picking out discounted products and daily necessities that the coupons could be exchanged for. Fortunately, The security system of this store is quite complete. No one drank the milk on the shelves, and no one took the goods with them in an attempt to buy them for zero yuan.

Adults such as Mr. and Mrs. Granger and Grandpa Bates were busy shopping for necessary supplies for a long trip. Loren and Hermione strolled around slowly, occasionally picking up a box of snacks and throwing them into the adults' shopping carts.

"Bee stinger spinning wheel...full metal fishing wheel..." Wendell held a box of plastic-wrapped metal products and carefully read the product description above.

"A must-have for sea fishing!"

Wendel's eyes condensed, this is it, with him, he will definitely be able to catch big fish!

He turned his head and glanced at Monica quietly, then put the fishing reel into the shopping cart calmly.

Unfortunately, the plastic packaging still made a soft noise when it collided with other items in the cart - a click.

Monica retracted her gaze from the shelf, looked down and saw the fishing boat, and then glared at him bitterly: "Is this something you should bring on a long trip, Wendell?"

"I think...right..." Wendell whispered, "Anyway, there is a magic pocket, so it's not troublesome to bring more things. What do you think?"

"Then Loren can also use magic to give You conjured up fishing gear, why did you buy it?"

"It's different..."

"What's the difference?"

"It's just different..."

After Wendell finished speaking, he quietly glanced at her expression, trying to guess what she was thinking.

Monica's expression was indifferent and she was too lazy to pay attention to him. This man was hopeless.

Bates walked beside them silently, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two of them, and took a box of sunscreen and put it into the cart.

He got sunburned last time he went to Egypt. This time the sun on the sea might be stronger, so he had to be prepared.

Loren and Hermione were walking down the aisle with a cup of trial ice cream. From time to time, Loren stretched out her hand to pinch the bagged potato chips in the supermarket, hearing the sound of the chips breaking, and scooped another scoop of ice cream. A happy expression appeared on his face.

Hermione looked around vigilantly, a little worried that supermarket security personnel would rush out at any time and forcibly expel this person and implicate her.

Seeing the girl's expression, Loren asked seriously: "Do you think I am satisfying my own evil taste?"

"No?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Of course not!" Loren explained seriously, "Trivia, the products placed in the most appropriate positions on the shelves are all products that are about to expire. I am not doing this to satisfy my own bad taste, but to warn consumers."< br>

Hermione glanced at him dubiously, reached for a bag of potato chips from the shelf, and checked the production date.

Huh?

It's true!

Loren shook his head and sighed: "Alas, there are not many people as kind as me anymore."

"..." Hermione silently put the potato chips back, "I still think you are doing it to satisfy your bad taste."

"Tsk, it seems you still don't understand me well enough."

" I just said that because I know you well enough."

"Hey, slander me."

After finishing the ice cream in his hand, he threw the garbage into the trash can and took it with him. Hermione went to get two samples of jelly, and settled that one for her on the grounds that she didn't like strawberry-flavored jelly.

Loren, who had eaten two servings of jelly, threw away the packaging and looked around for tasting spots. He said, "When we come back from the United States after seeing the International Federation of Wizards, we will almost catch up with the excitement of the Quidditch World Cup finals. It will be really fulfilling." "Aren't you not interested in Quidditch?"

"But I am interested in the excitement. When the time comes, I can watch the fans fight and the players curse. I saw many other races."

"How did you know there would be these?"

"Isn't this what the World Cup is like..." Loren's eyes rolled around, satisfied. Nodding, "What a fulfilling vacation."

Hermione glanced at him lightly and said calmly: "By the way, when I travel to the United States, I will bring all your homework with me, so that we will not be bored on the ship."

"You are such a strange person!"

Loren frowned and stared at her: "You can just bring your own homework, why do you have to bring my homework too? ?"

Hermione said calmly: "Because if I don't drag you to do homework with me, you will use the excuse of lack of time to copy my homework when you come back. I'm afraid that I I'll be cheated by you then."

"!"

Loren was shocked and reached out to cover her eyes: "You actually used Legilimency to peek into my thoughts. When did you learn how to do it?"

Hermione pulled his hand down: "It's not Legilimency. That's what I know about you."

"Oh! Then you are slandering me!" Loren pointed at her.

"You just admitted it."

Hermione pulled his hand down again, this time squeezing it without giving him a chance to do anything else, and preventing him from squeezing it again. potato chips.

"I didn't, you just slandered me!"

"You admitted it."

"You slandered me!"

"..."

"Don't speak? Don't think that I will forgive you if you don't speak and hold my hand. Where is the lawyer? I will sue you for defamation!"

"There are no lawyers in the wizarding world."

"I'm going to sue you for libel anyway."

"..."

The group is ready for a long journey that may be needed. I bought some fishing gear and exchanged some US dollars for foreign currency. In the next few days, Hermione forced Loren to finish the homework on Transfiguration and Charms. The homework on History of Magic was left behind. The reason Hermione gave was that after seeing the International Federation of Wizards, she might have a better understanding of magic. Generating new insights into historical topics.

Grandpa Bates asked someone to buy tickets for the ferry, which is also a luxury cruise ship. They entered the country through normal channels and did not need to apply for a visa.

All preparations for the trip are now complete.

Just waiting to go.

...

New York, Brooklyn.

As the most populous area among the five boroughs of New York City, New York State, some people call it the melting pot of immigrants. As the name suggests, it accommodates many outsiders, some of whom belong here and some who have just come here.

In the residential area of ​​dilapidated low-rise houses, every household has its door locked. It is even quieter than late at night, and it is so quiet that people feel guilty. This used to be the cheapest area in the neighborhood and the first choice for foreigners who had just arrived in New York, but now agents rarely recommend it to clients - since two years ago, some weird guys have been moving in here. .

They never come into contact with their neighbors, and they never show up at night, especially when the moon is full. There will always be all kinds of weird noises in the room, like someone is smashing things. Something, scratching the wall with a sharp dagger.

Wolves have even been heard howling, and yes, those weird guys have wolves in their homes.

Some people suspect that they are drug dealers, and some people suspect that they are cultists. If someone asks, the agent will always keep it secret.

In the southwest corner of the community, in a backlit house.

"Remus, are you sure this is wolfsbane potion?"

A skinny but energetic young man lay on the table with one eye wide open. , got closer to the fist-sized clay ball in front of him and looked at it again and again, with distrust written all over his face.

"I told you, Jimmy, you will call me John here, John Moon..."

Lupine muttered, looking at the mud ball in front of him, he also Not really sure. But this was given to him by Snape before he left, so it shouldn't be a deliberate trick.

Jimmy was a werewolf companion he met when he was wandering in England. He once had a stable job, collecting animal waste in a wizard pet store. The owner of the store was his uncle, so it was relatively stable.

When he transformed on a full moon night, he asked his uncle to lock him in a cage with wild beasts. He could use animals to fool him even if there were inexplicable injuries.

Perhaps due to the support of his family, Jimmy did not develop a paranoid and violent personality like other werewolves. Instead, he was a little childish and carefree.

Affected by the "Anti-Werewolf Act" last year, Jimmy's uncle insisted that Jimmy register as a werewolf with the Ministry of Magic, but Jimmy was always unwilling. The two quarreled for several days, which eventually ended with Jimmy moving away.

After Lupine came to the United States, he contacted Jimmy immediately, and with Jimmy's help, he blended into the werewolf community in Brooklyn.

Lupine pretended to be calm and said: "It's an improved version of Wolfsbane potion. If you take one pill, it will be effective for six months. The restriction is that you can't chew it."

"You call this a potion?" His name is Jimmy. The werewolf raised his head angrily, "This can be used to play baseball!"

"It's an improved version."

"Who made such an improvement?" Jimmy shouted, "This potion master should Imprisoned in Azkaban!"

Lupine nodded in agreement: "I support you, but now, what you should be thinking about is how to eat it."

"What about you?"

"I've learned Animagus, I don't need to eat."

Jimmy suddenly felt uncomfortable and couldn't help squinting his eyes and asking: "What did you do last year?" Where did you go? Learned the Animagus, got the improved version of Wolfsbane potion, and most importantly, you got so many roasted chicken legs!"

"I understand..." Lu Ping nodded, "Next week is the full moon night, you eat it now, and you can eat roasted chicken legs as you like in the next week."

"Am I talking about the roasted chicken legs?"

"Are you going to eat it or not?"

"..."

Jimmy silently picked up the baseball-shaped "Wolfsbane Potion" and stuffed it into his mouth with difficulty.

"Hoo…ho…"

With a goosebump-inducing swallowing sound, Jimmy ate a baseball with a ferocious expression on his face without chewing it.

"I think... I'm full -"

Jimmy suddenly paused. He felt the mud ball change in his stomach, as if a layer of it had melted, and then there was a thick Liquid seeped out of the baseball slush.

It feels cold and strange.

"Hiccup!"

Jimmy couldn't help but burp, and then a strong smell surged up along the esophagus, transferred from the mouth to the trachea, and passed into the nose. Under the influence of the werewolf's nose, Jimmy's face suddenly turned green.

His eyes and eyebrows were knitted together, his nose was wrinkled, his mouth was tilted downward and he breathed in, his expression was distorted as if he was about to transform on the spot.

Lu Ping watched him lying on the table and twitching non-stop, his face turning from green to red, and then gradually losing color and turning pale.

He vaguely recalled some very unpleasant memories and asked with concern:

"Are you okay?"

"..."

Jimmy lay weakly on the table, slowly raised his right hand, making an international greeting gesture, with four fingers bent in the palm of his hand, leaving only the middle finger straight.

This is something he learned newly after coming to this community.

Half an hour later, Jimmy slowly recovered and sat down at the dining table with Lupine. Plates of hot roasted chicken legs were taken out of the backpack. Jimmy looked at the backpack and then looked at it. He glanced at the chicken drumsticks on the table and wisely didn't ask any questions.

"Give me a detailed introduction to the werewolf situation here."

Jimmy swallowed the meat in his mouth and breathed out a sigh of relief: "As you can see, roughly Divided into two groups, one is a werewolf who originally lived in this country. The leader is a werewolf named Taylor Lautner, who is very united.

"I heard from one of them that they didn't live here originally. They were doing carpentry, painting, etc. on the border of this country. They just moved here recently...probably they still have savings, bread and milk. They can also take care of themselves, and they even gave us clothes last winter.

"The other one is someone who escaped like us and is more relaxed. Fenrir Greyback gathered a group of restless guys outside to rob some Muggles, no, they were called No-Majs here, and rob them of their money and food. Those who don't want to work with him can only do illegal work. "

After Jimmy finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to concentrate on the roasted chicken legs.

Lupine looked at Jimmy thoughtfully, sketching the general outline of the community in his mind.

The person behind Fenrir must be Voldemort.

The next thing to do is to win over the werewolf who longs for stability.

In addition to people like Jimmy, it seems that local werewolves can also get in touch.

Lupine suddenly raised his head and asked: "They rob Muggles and No-Majs, won't they be noticed by the Magical Congress here?"

"The Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States have recently It's very busy, you know, the International Wizarding Federation is about to start, and it's a mess here, and it's common for No-Majs to be robbed..."

Jimmy raised his hand to scratch his head, remembering that he had already. He hadn't washed his hair in a few months and put his hands down again, "And they didn't use magic to rob, so they wouldn't be noticed so easily."

"That's it..."

Lupine glanced at his head, and the idea of ​​scratching it for him disappeared instantly. He whispered in disgust: "It's simply dirtier than Snape's head."< br>

"Who is Snape?"

"Don't worry about this." Lupine waved his hand casually, "Can you contact the leader Taylor Lautner? I want to meet him He..."

"I've only chatted with one of them, but...let's give it a try."

"..."
