Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

? There is no doubt that Turnover Alley is a mixed place.There are many very suspicious magic items for sale here, and there are also many very suspicious witches and wizards coming and going.

If you are interested, you can even find some things that violate both the law and morals here.

In short, this place is not only "unsuitable for children", even adults should not come here lightly.

But, of course—since Knock Down Alley was originally a place directly connected to Diagon Alley, even if there was some darkness hidden here, it was definitely not a place outside the law.

Especially in this period of time, the more the "gray wizards" who loved to tempt the edge of the law in the past, the more they lack the courage to do something extraordinary.

Therefore, in recent years, Knockdown Alley is really nothing special except for some scams that are difficult to eradicate.

At this moment, Pansy and Eluli were following Martin all the way. After evading the three Aurors in the alley, the two of them quickly followed Martin to a narrow shop.

As soon as he walked in, Pansy asked with a disgusting rancid smell.Obviously, the reason why she hadn't smelled anything outside the door before was only because some barrier was imposed on the door to prevent the smell from dissipating.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of the invisible barrier that the stench cannot escape at all, which makes the taste of the store so amazing.

After Pansy hurriedly pinched his nose, he was finally able to relax a little.

"Here... there are magic wands for sale?"

Resisting the urge to turn around and withdraw immediately, she looked at the layout of the store left and right, but the shelves placed around the wall were actually some creepy magical materials.

And when she took a closer look again, she immediately found the source of the stench-it was a water tank that was placed in the corner, and there was a big sack full of things in it.

As for what was in the dark red sack, Pansy didn't want to know at all.

When Pansy asked, Martin Dang even waved his hand.

"No, it's not here," he said. "This is the magic material store I told you before, a magic material store run by a friend. When I call my friend out, I will let her take you to buy magic wands. ——You know, it’s more convenient than letting me take you there. After all, there are those damn Aurors everywhere now!"

Martin's explanation is indeed very reasonable, and to be honest, Pansy does not want to be with him at all.

"Oh, I see," she nodded immediately, "this is indeed the best choice."

As he was speaking, Martin whispered to the innermost part of the shop:

"Muriel? Are you there? It's me—Martin, I need you to do me a little favor!"

Before they could finish their words, Pansy and Eluli heard a sudden thumping sound inside, and after that, the two saw a thin figure staggering out of it.

Judging by Martin's name to the other party, it was obvious that he was a witch, and the other party's messy long hair just confirmed this.

"Is it a few years since I had a shower?" Iluli, who has never said anything, can't help but think in her heart secretly, "It's terrible!"

As a servant in charge of taking care of her master's daily life, Eluli is also somewhat of a little cleanliness.Seriously, including this shop and the owner of that shop, she really couldn't stand it.

"Muriel, did you fall again?"

Martin seemed to be used to this for a long time.

"Well, you seem to be okay anyway? So... take the two of them to the old Tim's thrift store for me! There is an Auror looking for me outside, and our junior girl still needs a can An old wand that will be used."

Elementary school girl?

After Pansy heard this, he immediately looked at the dirty witch again carefully-could it be said that this is also a previous Hogwarts graduate?

She was thinking about it when she saw the sloppy witch who Martin called "Muriel" rubbed her knees, and then she picked up her split long hair and glanced at Pansy and Eluli.

"Um...I want to go to Old Tim? Yes, yes, but every time I go to Old Tim, I always feel that he is a little unhappy..."

In response, Martin could only shake his head with a grin.

"Can't you use the cleansing curse to clean yourself up? Of course he won't give you a good look if you pass this way!"

But who knows, Muriel immediately made his head look like a rattle, and finally said plausibly:

"It's not necessary... I've been dealing with corpses all day, and it will still get dirty anyway."

After all, she stopped paying attention to Martin, and beckoned to Pansy and the others.

"Come on! Oh, are you still studying at Hogwarts? Let me guess, you must be Slytherin, I guess right? Martin likes to mix with Slytherin-even though he He is a Hufflepuff."

Seeing Muriel talking as he walked to the door, he really left Martin behind.And Martin, who was left by her casually, was not only not annoyed, but also a little helpless.

When Pansy saw this, he was immediately surprised.

According to her impression of Martin, this is undoubtedly a man who has a strong desire to control others. This can be seen from his performance in the two rallies.

But when facing this witch named "Muriel", his tolerance was obviously much higher than usual.

"Are two people in the'that' relationship?"

The moment Pansy followed the sloppy witch to the door, he couldn't help but quietly turned his head, but saw Martin looking at Muriel's back, with a complicated look in his eyes.

...

After a while, Muriel took Pansy to another shop a little further away.

Unlike Muriel’s cramped store, although this is only a thrift store, the facade is at least twice as big as the former.

Standing at the door and looking inside, the decoration in the store does not resemble the gloomy feel of Knockdown Alley.The bright candlelight dispelled the dimness caused by the narrowness of the alley itself, and you could feel a touch of warmth just outside the door.

To be honest, if Pansy knew it was indeed Knockdown Alley, she might have thought it was an ordinary store in Diagon Alley!

"Good morning, old Tim!"

Muriel walked into the store first and greeted the old wizard sitting behind the counter by the way.

But the old man seemed to have seen a ghost, so he immediately turned his head away. Needless to say, he could easily see the disgust.

"Hey, there are guests, old Tim!"

After yelling at the other side, Muriel curled her lips and pointed to a basket inside:

"Look, there is a magic wand! If you are not satisfied, you can also go to the small display cabinet at the back-although the cabinet is a bit more expensive, the workmanship is very good, most of them come from self-images. The hand of a master like Mr. Ollivander."

However, this place is only a thrift store after all, and there is also an "acquaintance" led by Muriel, who is no more expensive than the original price of seven gallons.

Pansy took Eluli and selected them together. Because of the tight time, they didn't ask too much. After finding a wand that they could use, they took it to the counter to check out.

But at this moment, Muriel, who was standing at the door, suddenly ran over and lowered her voice:

"Before Martin said that the Auror was looking for him, it has nothing to do with you two?"

Pansy and Eluli were suddenly nervous when they heard this.

"what happened?"

"There is an Auror outside, coming here... well, maybe I will come in and see something."

To ask whether the Auror's raid was related to the two of them, the answer was obviously yes.However, since their identities have not been exposed so far, they will not be exposed as soon as Martin did.

Of course, if you can't meet it, then it's better not to meet it.

"It's too late to go out," Pansy looked around, then hurriedly asked the old wizard, "Excuse me, is there a back door here?"

"No."

Mostly because of his dislike of Muriel, the old man didn't even want to talk to Pansy.But fortunately, the wizard in Knockdown Alley basically didn't deal with Auror very much. If there is no sufficient profit to drive him, he would definitely not go to inform them.

Needless to say, even in the dark side of the magic world, there is a set of corresponding rules to follow.

After thinking about it for a moment, Pansy quickly took out a few more Jin Jialong from his pocket, and put his hand on the counter.At the same time, she whispered in her mouth:

"Forget the question I just asked, remember that we are just ordinary customers...when the Auror is gone, there will be another half."

Hearing the sound, the old wizard did not even lift his eyelids, but he took away the small pile of Jin Jialong without a trace.

"Pansy, do you better avoid it? Just use your invisibility cloak!" Eluli suddenly whispered, "I don't have anything yet, but you shouldn't be in Knockoff Alley, right?"

It has to be said that this usually quite introverted goblin hybrid witch can always show excellent judgment at critical moments.

Hearing what she said, Pansy couldn't help but feel very reasonable-although she didn't know if it was the Auror who came before, but she did reveal her identity after all, and she specifically mentioned the purchase of the wand.

However, a Hogwarts student went to Knockoff Alley to buy a second-hand old magic wand, which made no sense.

Just in case, Pansy decisively followed Eluli's words to hide her figure with a cloak, and carefully hid in the corner to the side.

"They are here!"
