After Grant Irwin’s explanation, Xifa understood.
Elise's shop has not been open due to lack of manpower.
Therefore, Luna and Elise only wanted to open one store at first, which was the magic shop next door.
But one day when they picked up something in Knockturn Alley and returned to Diagon Alley.
I met a family who was being made trouble by a pure-blood family in an inconspicuous corner of an alley.
They naturally intervened in this conflict because they were unhappy with the pure-blood families.
After experiencing the ups and downs of the world, this family also understands.
This is not Atlantis.
Their relatives and friends have already joined the pureblood side.
They want to stand firm in the British wizarding world and do business openly.
However, their family does not want to be a pure-blood family dog.
They would rather give up their business in the wizarding world and make a living in the Muggle world.
However, when they were leaving from Knockturn Alley with their magic devices.
Under the instructions of the pure-blood family, a team of Ministry of Magic officials came here and told them that items from the magical world, especially items that are lethal or have unknown effects.
The Ministry of Magic has the power to confiscate it, and it also has the responsibility to prevent it from flowing into the Muggle world!
Faced with the almost gangster-like law enforcement logic, they naturally rose up to resist.
At this moment, Elise stepped forward and just said, they are now my business partners!
They saved their family.
I don’t want to live in this ‘dark’ magical world, but this is one of the most peaceful countries.
They sold their rudimentary skills and these magical weapons to Elise, and hid in the Muggle world to enjoy life.

"Do you know what these two wooden signs are for?"
Xifa played with the wooden cards that Elise and Luna threw at him.
The two wooden signs are completely black, and you can’t tell what they are made of.
There are no words, no symbolic signs or patterns on it.
Inject your own magic into it, and the wooden sign will remain unchanged.
Not understanding why, Xifa casually asked Grant Irvine beside him.
Unexpectedly, Grant Irwin really knew.
"This is the door key to these two shops."
"Door key?" Xifa was startled. What does this mean? Thousands of miles away, you can return to the store with just one click?
"Uh... the key to the store. In the Muggle world, this thing is also called a key card." "We only work here during the day, and at night we go back to the house in the Muggle world in London from the Leaky Cauldron." p>
Grant Irwin realized that the statement was wrong, and he quickly explained.
He and his girlfriend only work here during the day on weekdays. The rest of the time they are in the Muggle world, and they even forget that door keys are also a type of magical item.
"When we are away, when there is no one here to look after us, we close the store."
Hearing this, Xifa was thoughtful.
"What does closing the store have to do with this wooden sign? Does the wooden sign have the authority to switch on and off protective magic?"
"Assistant teacher, have you ever heard of the Loyalty Curse?" Grant Irvine organized his words and said.
"I've understood it, but I haven't learned it." Xifa looked through his memory and replied.
The Red Loyalty Spell hides a secret in the heart of a secret keeper. As long as the secret keeper does not tell anyone, no one can find the secret. This secret is very broad and is generally used in rooms.
In this way, even if you stick to the door of the secret room, there is still nothing in front of you. For your world, this room does not exist!
"The shops in Diagon Alley have protective magic similar to the Red Loyalty Charm. This allows the shop to decide whether to open or close based on the owner's wishes."
"Like a token in our hands."
Grant Irvine took out a willow token and showed it to Xifa. When Xifa nodded, he put it away.
"We can only open and close the door during the specified time. We do not have the authority to open the store outside of working days."
"After closure, the shop and the street in front of the shop will disappear."
"Looking from the outside, the neighboring shops on the left and right will be close to each other."
"The black token in the assistant's hand has power close to that of the shop owner."
"With it, you can see and enter these two stores at night."
Grant Irvine blinked at Xifa and gave Xifa a knowing look.
Modular?
It sounds like the main street is the main body, and the storefronts are a puzzle.
You can freely decide whether the store appears in Diagon Alley according to the shop owner's wishes. In other words, the size of Diagon Alley is constantly changing!
The more stores that open, the bigger Diagon Alley gets!
Thinking of this, Xifa decided to visit Diagon Alley again, maybe a new store will open!
......
But in the end, Xifa didn't have the chance to use these two keys, nor could he visit Diagon Alley.
Because just when he was about to say goodbye to Grant Irwin and push open the store door to go out.
Dong dong dong——
A series of footsteps made of small leather shoes and wooden floors came from the corridor.
In Xifa’s surprised expression.
Elise and Luna pulled Cassandra and ran downstairs in a hurry.
Before Xifa could ask anything.
Elise hurriedly told Grant Irvine that they could get off work early today.
Then he pulled Xifa and walked out.
On the streets of Diagon Alley.
The three women dragged Xifa and chattered something to Xifa as they walked...
Your words to me made Xifa feel a little dizzy.
This is the first time that Elise, Luna, and Cassandra are rushing to speak!
After a lot of effort, Xifa finally understood.
They asked Xifa to take them back to the orphanage quickly, and they also wanted to be Lady Mary's adopted daughters!
In this way, they can not only call Lady Mary mother with peace of mind, but also become good sisters with Cassandra!
......
Exited the Leaky Cauldron.
Standing on the streets of London.
Xifa stopped Elise who wanted to hail a taxi.
He smiled and said to everyone, wait here for a while.
Then he disappeared in front of Elise and Luna who looked confused.
"Cassandra! Do you know something?"
Elise was the first to notice Cassandra, who was calmer than them, and asked suspiciously.
"You will know when Xifa comes back."
Seeing that she was discovered, Cassandra panicked a little and pretended as if nothing had happened.
She wanted to see the shocked expressions of the two of them. You know, when she saw that Xifa could operate a car that could run quickly without magic, Xifa often looked at her with strange eyes.
As a result, Xifa's car stopped beside them.
Elise and Luna were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
However, when the three of them crowded into the car, Elise and Luna put away their surprised expressions.
Xifa, in the palace of thinking, I showed them these things.
But in reality, Xifa's ability to build a car really surprised them for a while...
Walked a while...
Only then did the three of them remember that they had not purchased any gifts.
Then he urged Xifa to turn around and go to the Muggle shopping mall.
