Necromancers Guide to Magic
Chapter Three Encounters in Knock Down Alley
Mr. Borkin suddenly didn't want to speak.
Because he discovered that the child in front of him seemed to be bigger than he thought, um, a lot stranger.
What kind of family is it like to be able to cultivate such a spoiled personality?
After seeing Benjamin put down the jar, Mr. Bokin said, "My child, your family didn't come with you? I think you should be a student at Hogwarts. Today, I came here to buy teaching materials and school supplies."
Benjamin raised his head and glanced at Mr. Bogin, really wondering why this boss is so annoying.
Can't he let him look at things for a while?
"My parents are too busy. As for where I am a student, I think it has nothing to do with you." Benjamin said coldly. He suddenly remembered something, pointing to his bulging wallet and said, "If you are worried that I have no Money, then you can rest assured."
Mr. Bokin is still a businessman after all, although not very serious.He saw that Benjamin was not here to make trouble, but was looking at things very seriously, so he closed his mouth and returned to behind the counter.
I can only complain, the children of these years have become more and more weird.
Benjamin had already taken a fancy to a very strange box of plants.
Although the name of the plant was written on it: Carrivore, Benjamin didn't know what it was for.But starting from the perception of a necromancer, he thought that this thing might have an unexpected effect when refining the lich.
Just as Benjamin was about to check out, two more men walked into the store.
Most importantly, behind Benjamin, in the fireplace where he came, there was another noise.
Could it be another hapless person like him who pronounced the wrong words?
It's just that Benjamin didn't have any spare time to pay attention to what the hapless guy looked like.
Because the two people who walked into the store now turned out to be acquaintances of Benjamin.
Draco and his father, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, appeared in front of Benjamin.
At this time, Benjamin didn't need to evade either, he walked up to Draco generously, and then gave him a hug under Mr. Borkin's slightly surprised gaze.
As for the reason, of course Benjamin discovered that this kind of normal intimacy between classmates would make this platinum noble very uncomfortable.
"Draco, it's been a long time. I'm going to meet you at Lihen Bookstore." Benjamin said calmly. That's right, he has clearly set the meeting place in the letter, Lihen Bookstore.
Draco's ears were still red, and he nodded awkwardly, "I'm going to go in a while, too. Of course, I'm with my father now."
And of course Benjamin knew Lucius, he immediately saluted Lucius very politely, and then said, "Mr. Malfoy, it's an honor to see you."
Lucius' smile makes you unable to see the truth, but it will make you very comfortable.
"Hello Benjamin, you look taller than the last time you saw it. Of course, this summer, Draco has been chanting your name. (Draco pulled his father's sleeve, and Mr. Borkin’s mouth is ready for a table tennis ball at this time) Of course, he is just not convinced that you took first grade."
Benjamin shrugged, "This can only show that I'm lucky."
Lucius shook his head slightly, "He really didn't work very hard. I don't care if I lose to you, but losing to a girl from a Muggle family disappointed me too much." Lucius smiled again at this time. Laughed, "By the way, are you here alone today?"
"Yes, sir." Benjamin still didn't say anything about Floo fans after all, because it was too shameful.
"No wonder, I just said Duke, how could he let you come to such a place.
Benjamin immediately agreed.
And Mr. Borkin, who has been hanging aside, did not seem to complain. Instead, he smiled and said to Lucius, “Mr. Malfoy, it’s really exciting to see your real person again. And Master Malfoy. , Welcome." Mr. Borkin suddenly glanced at Benjamin who was talking to Draco on the sidelines, "Is this the young master of the Ludwig family? I didn't recognize you just now, it's disrespectful."
Benjamin saw the rickety store manager bend over and waved his hand immediately. He didn't expect his family to be so famous in Britain.
While Lucius was chatting with Mr. Borkin, Benjamin was listening to Draco's complaints.
"How on earth did you find this place, you know it's Knock Down Alley! When my father brought me over, I thought he would buy a gift here. Who knew he told me to give me a broomstick, Merlin's beard, I was not selected for the school team at all, so I need a broom. Besides, the one you gave me is pretty good."
Benjamin didn't pay attention to Draco's babbling, but grabbed the key word, Knock Down Alley.
"This is Knockdown Alley? That legendary place is full of dark wizards?"
"You must have heard, the ministry has stepped up the investigation." Mr. Malfoy said, taking out a roll of parchment from the inside pocket of his clothes and unfolding it to Mr. Borkin."I have something in my house--ah--that may cause me inconvenience, if the ministry comes.''
Mr. Bokin put on a pair of pincers and looked down at the list."I think the ministry won't disturb you, sir?"
Mr. Malfoy curled his lips."I haven't been here yet. Malfoy's name still has a bit of prestige, but the ministry is getting more and more nosy. It is said that a new "Muggle Protection Act" will be introduced-it must be the sloppy fool Arthur Weasley is playing tricks behind his back. He likes Muggles the most—"
Draco and Benjamin listened to his father's conversation for a while before answering Benjamin's question."Yes, it's the Knockdown Alley where children are not allowed. It seems that you walked here indiscriminately. It's really amazing. If Mrs. Ludwig finds out, she will definitely scold you."
Benjamin narrowed his mouth, so he wouldn't go back to talk about this kind of thing.
And after the bargaining between Lucius and Mr. Borkin was over, Benjamin and Draco were about to leave.
In fact, Benjamin heard a strange noise coming from a cabinet.Is it possible that the hapless man who walked the wrong fireplace hides here, is he eavesdropping?
But when Benjamin was about to open the cabinet, Lucius and Draco had already left.
Benjamin thought for a while, but after all he withdrew his hand and followed.
He didn't know, who was the one hiding inside?
And Mr. Bokin waited for everyone to leave, and put away his flattering tone."Goodbye, Mr. Malfoy, if those legends are true, you sold me less than half of what you kept in your house..."
