Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Mr. Trade Union Chief, someone used the portal in the upper hall just now... It looks like it came in from outside, you see?"

"Don't worry about getting in and out. Most of the people who come in now are people who come to investigate. For example, those Aurors and hitters from the British Ministry of Magic... In short, no matter who comes, it has nothing to do with us! Besides, they also have to spend money to come in anyway-but whose money it is specifically, this is obviously not that important!"

In the underground vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion, there are many fairies coming and going.They were either sitting in a minecart, wandering around along the tracks, or getting together in twos and threes and complaining about the difficulties of the world.

And even the fairy guild leader of the Dark Spirit Pavilion Wizarding Guild seemed a bit bored at the moment.

No way, due to the repeated turmoil of the black market, the business field of Dark Ling Pavilion, which was originally in full swing, has become increasingly deserted.And the ghosts of the Dark Spirit Pavilion who lost a lot of income all of a sudden have stretched their faces every day, and their motivation to continue working has become less and less.

Therefore, when the fog began to gradually cover the entire black market, the Fairy Guild Leader of the Dark Spirit Pavilion simply took all the fairies into the underground vault.

Because he felt that instead of staying on it was dangerous and did not earn Jin Jialong, it would be better to disguise the buildings on both sides of the entrance passage as having been attacked, and for the time being to avoid the limelight as the priority.

"Yeah, yeah! We just need to wait for them to put in the ticket money of three silvers per person by themselves!"

The other goblin standing beside the union leader screamed, holding a thick cigar in his hand, trimming his mouth for the union leader.

Having said this, he suddenly raised his head again to please the trade union leader:

"To be honest, I actually support that Helbo--all wizards anyway. Since he can help us reduce the wizard population, maybe when the next International Wizarding Federation conference begins, we goblins can also I have won a seat for the Senate! I will definitely support you, Mr. Trade Union Chief, when you are elected!"

"Council to participate?"

I saw the fairy union leader shook his head.

"This kind of thing, let Gringa go to mix it up! Don't forget, our Dark Ling Pavilion has been responsible for handling underground affairs since ancient times... Of course, I'm happy to see it happen if some wizards die! Maybe the heirs of one of the big vaults below are all dead. Once the claim period expires, we will have an extra income."

Even at his current age, he can't wait for the end of the claim period, but he still feels excited when he thinks of the future increase in the book value of the Dark Ling Pavilion.

"But since this is the case, why don't we directly cooperate with that Helbo?" The fairy who was cutting the cigar suddenly wondered.

"No, it's not necessary," the leader of the union waved his hand. "It's just that the two don't help each other! After all, don't look at the scourge caused by Helbo, but McLean at Hogwarts also Not annoying guys... Let's not act rashly without knowing the result!"

...

Hermione didn't know, she had actually guessed it before—the collapse and destruction of this dark spirit pavilion and the gallery outside that passage were indeed a disguise created by the fairies.

Of course, whether it was a disguise or not at the moment seemed to be less important to her.

"Ron, don't be too far away! And Ginny, so are you... Although I can't tell if this is the source of the fog, it doesn't look like a safe place at all. Everyone is wary. "

Right now, the four of them had left the dark spirit pavilion turned into ruins and came to the street outside.The old street lights on the street are still emitting light, but under the influence of the gray fog, the magic hanging lights that are not so bright have become obviously more drowsy.

So, walking on this not-so-wide street, Hermione only felt as if she could see the dark wizard rushing out of those dark alleys nearby at any time, giving them a surprise attack.

However, after the four of them walked cautiously on this street for a while, they realized that let alone the dark wizard, they had never seen a single figure!

It must be said that there are really a lot of shops along the street in this black market, and in the alleys behind the shops, there are countless old and new buildings that look like residential houses.

But what about people?

"I suddenly felt that it's really not a smart choice to find someone here..." Hermione said a little annoyed. "I thought the black market was just a shopping street about the size of Diagon Alley. But in the end, it was comparable. Corner Alley and Knock Down Alley combined are many times bigger..."

As he was talking, he couldn't help shook his head.

"Even if Fred and George are really here, the chances of us finding them both are really slim! Rather than wandering around, I think we might as well go back to the entrance and wait!"

"Oh, this is a good idea," Ron immediately nodded in agreement. "Ginny and Luna, do you want to go there to guard? The four of us are running around the streets and alleys together. After all, the efficiency is low. It’s especially easy to miss them."

However, Ginny was obviously unwilling to go to the Dark Ling Pavilion to stay behind the passage.

"Why don't you go?" She pursed her lips, "Don't let me wait in the same place, I can't wait!"

"Hush—"

The two were talking, but Luna, who was listening to the side, raised her index finger on her mouth, and beckoned them to stop talking first.Then, I saw her turning her ears sideways, as if hearing something.

Seeing this, Hermione also focused on listening to the surrounding movement, but found that she hadn't heard anything.

After a while, she saw Luna tilting her head in confusion, and she couldn't help asking in a low voice:

"Luna, what's the matter?"

"Um..." Luna blinked her big gray eyes, a little puzzled, "I seemed to hear someone talking, it was a female voice...but that voice was too vague, I couldn't hear her clearly. What are you talking about."

"Female?" Hermione frowned for a while, and then said with a puzzled face, "Why didn't I hear... Then did you hear where the sound came from? Also, what does that sound sound like? age?"

Luna shook her head hesitantly when she heard the words.

"No, I don't know." She said, "It seems to be nearby, but it seems to be very far away... The voice is very fuzzy, it seems quite young... It's strange."

Although it is not clear who actually made the "female voice" that Luna heard, she didn't even know if she had heard it wrong.But when she thought that the only person they were looking for was Mrs. Weasley, Hermione felt that it might be better to ignore that voice.

After all, who knows if that is the effect of the black magic that tempts others to be hooked?

"Anyway, as long as it doesn't resemble Mrs. Weasley's voice, then leave it alone!" She pondered for a moment, then waved her hand, "Let’s keep going! Ron, Ginny, etc. Going around here, we can leave a code sign for the Order of the Phoenix at the entrance. This should prevent us from passing by with your parents and brothers..."

It is undoubtedly a very unwise thing to act separately in this seemingly dangerous place.Therefore, she always asked everyone to stay together, and did not choose to search separately, which was significantly more efficient.

However, because the people in the black market had either escaped here, or had already hid in a place they thought was safe and secret enough, the Hermione four had been walking in the streets for a long time without seeing anyone.

The entire black market seems to have become a ghost town full of mist and empty.

Just when the four little friends thought that they would keep searching in this repressive atmosphere of death and silence, and finally found nothing, abruptly, they suddenly heard a strange sound from far and near.

"Click, click, click—"

When the four heard the sound, they turned their heads, and subconsciously looked in the direction that the sound came from-it was obvious that this time this time, only Luna could hear it.

"It seems... from the main road just now?"

This was the first time Ron spoke, and he saw him looking at the other end of the laneway behind him. The fog and darkness made him unable to see no matter how hard he tried.

"Hermione, are we going to have a look?" Ginny looked hesitant.

On the other side, Hermione nodded when seeing Ron and Ginny looking towards her.

"I have to go and take a look," she shrugged. "Isn't it?"

It can be seen that she is actually a little worried about what it is and whether it will put the four of them in danger.But who can guarantee that it is not the sound made by the person they are looking for?

Thinking about this, Hermione took the other three and walked back quickly.They walked fast, but they were also very alert. They tried their best to lighten their steps so as not to attract the attention of others.

But when the main road got closer and closer, they finally heard what the noise was.

"...It should be a carriage!" Hermione lowered her voice, speeding up her pace as she spoke, "And... we might not be able to keep up."

Sure enough, when the four hurried back to the side of the street and looked out, they found that nothing was visible outside, only the sound of kicking and pedaling horseshoes and the friction of wheels rolling on the brick road. .

"Are we... going to catch up?"

"No, no," Hermione shook her head immediately. "No matter how you think about it, Fred and George will not pass by here in a carriage."
