As far as daily life is concerned, southern Italy is a pretty good place. Maca had mentioned this to Willie when she passed by here. But now, even here, whether among wizards or some Muggles, one can already feel the looming hesitation.
After all, even Germany has been invaded by living zombies. As a country that is not far away... or even close at hand, the increasingly tense atmosphere has made the originally peaceful days mixed with traces of danger. haze.
"...According to relevant experts, wizards are actually not much different from us ordinary people. They also like to eat fruits after meals, go to bed at night, and even grow some vegetables in the backyard for extra meals. Therefore, everyone in front of the TV please don’t panic too much, implement the new regulations conscientiously, and cooperate with the military to prepare for the transfer. Everything... will be fine. Not only us, the wizarding management department is also working hard for everyone’s safety. Strive hard…”
These days, most TV sets in Muggle living rooms have begun to play news similar to this, and this is the case in every household. The content can be considered moderate so far, without too many stiff and cold spoon-feeding announcements, but rather a relatively life-oriented broadcast.
Yes, the day before yesterday, the TV station even produced a lively interview with a wizard family, which was used to let ordinary people understand the daily life of a real magical society.
Obviously, at least Italy still hopes to use this method to gradually allow its citizens to accept the integration of the magical world. After all, at the same time, there is a different kind of war that is about to break into people's lives, which is even more unacceptable than this.
But even such selective and reserved reports have already caused an uproar in Muggle society along with various wild gossips.
"Crack-"
With a soft sound, the image on the TV screen in front of him suddenly turned into a white line, and then disappeared completely. Lavender was stunned for a moment, subconsciously reached out and patted it, and then turned around and looked dissatisfied.
"Romy! The interview from last week is going to be replayed next, why did you turn it off! I'm still watching-"
"It's all acting, what's so interesting about it!"
Not far away, Romilda threw the remote control in her hand on the table, tugged her somewhat tangled hair irritably, and then threw herself heavily into the old sofa.
"If you have this time, why don't you think carefully about what Professor McGonagall said yesterday... Do we really want to stay here forever? Tell me... How are Harry and the others, are they doing well -"
"how could I know!"
Lavender pursed her lips, and instead of turning on the TV again, she just lay down on the table.
"Don't talk about them, even for us... it's pretty good to have a place to live and food to eat like we do now... isn't it?"
Nearly two weeks have passed since the day I was placed here. There were too many specific things that Lavender and the others didn't know. They only knew that Madam Maxime negotiated with the Medici family who had hosted everyone before, and then the Italian Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government specially arranged for this residential complex. Available for accommodation.
Don't expect the conditions here to be very good, but at least there are still old TVs and the like. However, Professor McGonagall has warned that you must avoid casting spells in the house as much as possible to avoid causing malfunctions and damage to many Muggle daily items.
It's a pity that once the novelty wears off, the days when I rarely go out gradually become boring... It feels like I'm back to the long time of wandering on the sea again!
"Boom-boom-boom!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Romy, open the door... I'm too lazy to move." Lavender waved his hand feebly.
"Go! I'm too lazy to move!"
Having said that, after knocking on the door several times, Romilda, who was still closer to the door, stood up from the sofa and walked slowly over to open the door.
"Jimmy? And Colin? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Looking at the two boys, one large and one small, standing outside the door still panting, Romilda asked with some confusion.
"People from the Italian Ministry of Magic are here again! What Colin saw just now, looking at the Muggle tools they are holding, they seem to be filming some interviews again... Aren't you very excited after filming Lavender last time? ? Do you want to go and see it again?"
The Gryffindor boy named Jimmy was talking excitedly, and Colin on the side was holding up the photo he had just taken, waving it in front of Romilda.
Hearing what the other party said, Romilda immediately turned around, only to see Lavender, who had looked listless just now, running to the mirror and combing her hair.
As soon as she saw Romilda, Jimmy, and Colin at the door in the mirror, Lavender immediately put down her comb and ran to the door with a bang.
"Wait here!"
"boom!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed the door heavily.
"Go! Romi, go and change your clothes too. This dress is so tacky—"
A moment later, Jimmy and Colin, who were looking confused, saw the door reopened and two ladies with heavy makeup made them freeze.
"Ahem... It's in the apartment where the professors live. You can see it when you go there." Jimmy took a small step back and said with a subtle expression.
"Huh? Aren't you going?" Romilda looked at him hesitantly.
"Of course we want to go!" Jimmy said hurriedly, "But... well, we have to inform others. I'm sure everyone wants to have a look! Colin, you think so!"
"Ah! Well, yes—"
Colin, who was holding a camera at the side, nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll see you two soon..."
He watched Lavender wave his hand at him, then closed the door and pulled Romilda to run towards the stairs in a hurry. After the two girls ran away, Jimmy shuddered and whispered:
"Merlin's beard... what do I see?"
"It's a fish-man," Colin said with the same subtle expression while holding the camera. "Professor Snape showed the picture in class. The fish-man who landed on the shore looks like this, doesn't it?"
"Did you take the photo?"
"No."
"That's good...that's good." Jimmy said, "We'd better go over there later! Don't go on Muggle TV with them, that would be too embarrassing..."
"Professor McGonagall won't let them appear on TV. That will definitely cause big misunderstandings among Muggles who don't understand wizards!" Colin, who was born as a Muggle, said with certainty.
And at this moment, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something from the corridor window not far away, and subconsciously raised the magic camera in his hand.
"Click—"
