Chapter 725 Inside and Outside the Window

With the help of the crowd and the cabinets, the three of Ginny followed quietly. Everyone was attracted by the goods of Fred and George. These three wizards who are not too young are still playing stealth games like a house. His childish behavior is not too conspicuous in this trick shop.

On the other hand, Hermione, when looking up for Ginny, found that the three of them gathered together and acted somewhat unnaturally. She put down the goods in her hand and walked towards them.

"What are you doing?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Look, Hermione, Lucius and Pansy, they're going out." Ginny pulled Hermione over and said in a low voice, and then quickly squeezed through the cheerful crowd with Hermione, who was still a little dazed. Customers also crouched halfway, using the cover of the counter and began to walk towards the door of the store.

And Lucius, who had already arrived near the store door, looked at the situation outside the store vigilantly through the door glass, then he opened the store door for Pan Xi, and when Pan Xi passed by him, Lucius looked back Passing through the crowd in the store, and meeting the gazes of Alan on the other side of Mr. Handy in the distance, Lucius's jaw raised and lowered indiscernibly, and then sneaked around with Pansy Leaving the joke shop without hesitation.

After Lucius and the others left the gate, Harry and his party quickly came to the gate. Through the window, they saw the figures of the two hurriedly walking on the street.

"I said, what the hell are you doing? Why are we following Lucius?" Hermione, who was pulled over, had a chance to ask the question she had been wanting to ask just now.

Ron looked at Hermione with a look that you don't understand: "It's really abnormal that Lucius didn't bring Draco but walked with Pansy alone in a sneaky way. Not curious?"

When Ginny heard her brother's question, she suddenly thought of those taboo love stories about ancient pure-blood families that she had just seen in front of the witch magazine counter, which made Ginny's face swell all of a sudden. The flush was like when I saw the Boy Who Lived when I was a child.

"Follow me." Harry hurried out of the door, followed by Ginny and Ron, but when Hermione followed them out of the door in a daze, she was caught by Penello and stayed behind. Luo Yang raised his delicate chin, and pointed in the direction where Ginny and the others left, "I said, what are you doing? Why are you following Lucius?"

"I don't know." Hermione was a little annoyed when she heard this familiar question, and she said to Penello angrily, "Trust me... I asked the same question just now."

Seeing the figures of Lucius and Pansy gradually disappearing at the corner of the street, Ginny turned her head and saw that Hermione was still being pulled by Penelope, Harry urged: "Quick, don't lose your target. "The three of them didn't care about Hermione, and hurriedly chased after her.

Lucius Malfoy looked around for a while, and then led Pansy Parkinson into the entrance of Knockturn Alley. Looking from the entrance of Knockturn Alley, this place is different from Diagon Alley, it looks a little deserted, even if there are one or two suspicious wizards, they are all in a hurry.

Harry waited for the wizard inside to leave, and they also entered the entrance, then Harry looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, so he took out his invisibility cloak from his bag, and shouted to the others: " Come on, get in."

"Oh...we can't go to Knockturn Alley yet, and it doesn't seem very good to pry into other people's privacy like this...Harry?" Ginny looked into Knockturn Alley hesitantly and asked.

"Ginny, hurry up!" Ron, who had already got in, urged his sister, "And you're the one who started this stalking first?!"

Three little wizards wearing the cloak of invisibility walked through the narrow alley and entered Knockturn Alley.

But now this small street, which is closely related to black magic, is different from the prosperity of Diagon Alley and the bustle and danger in Harry's memory when he stumbled into it before. The traffic in Knockdown Alley is very sparse except for those shops and patrolling Aurors. , They looked in the window as they walked, and it seemed that there were customers in every shop.

Harry guessed that buying... or being seen buying black magic products during this special period, even if these things are legal on the surface, will still be suspected by the Aurors as Death Eaters, And obviously even if they weren't Death Eaters, the wizards who liked to buy these things obviously couldn't stand the scrutiny of the Aurors themselves.

Harry and the others dodged and followed Lucius and Pansy, and saw them enter the Borginburg store, the door slammed shut, and the lights from the Borginburg store lit up the dark area.

"My dad used to say that this is the largest store in Knockturn Alley. It specializes in selling black magic items, some of which are very dangerous. The owner, Mr. Borgin, sells and collects all kinds of strange and evil things. The items in his store Things are very popular with dark wizards, and almost every item has hidden unknown and dangerous power." Ginny saw that Lucius and Pansy entered a shop that sold black magic, and then looked at it. He went up and breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to a talkative state.

Unlike the Weasley brothers and sisters, Harry is actually not the first to see the Bocking Bock store, he said: "I was sent to this store when I made a mistake with Floo powder in the summer before the start of my second year. hearth, let's go."

Ginny immediately stopped Harry who wanted to follow up. She pointed to her ankle, "If we go in, people will see our feet! Someone might have noticed just now, but they just didn't care about us."

Following his girlfriend's gestures, Harry noticed the hem of the Invisibility Cloak flapping around their ankles. Now that they have grown up a lot, if they still want to hide under the invisibility cloak together, it is indeed much more difficult than when they were in the lower grades.

"Even if it can cover us, we can't go in!" Ron rarely had the same opinion as Ginny. He waited until his friends and sisters looked at him before adding, "When Percy and Dad were chatting, I heard They said that the Bojinbok store seemed to be robbed of some treasures by some wizards in our first grade, and Mr. Bokin had business problems and did not report to the Ministry of Magic, but it was gradually strengthened in the next few years. Percy said that when some Aurors used their cloaks that can cast the disillusionment spell to infiltrate the store to investigate the store, the invisibility effect was lifted as soon as they entered the store and they were discovered. Harry, your invisibility Although the clothing effect will not be removed, we will basically be discovered if we go in like this. Although Mr. Bojin dare not do anything to Auror, we..."

Harry nodded annoyed. After looking around anxiously, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he pointed to the roof of the house next to the Borginburg store. Ginny and Ron turned sideways and looked up. Facing the window on the top of Borgin-Bock Black Magic Store, one can see the situation inside the store through the pane of glass windows.

So the three climbed up as quietly as possible, holding the sharp ridge of the house with their hands, and peeking at the situation inside the store through the glass windows.

Looking in through the window, among the boxes full of skeletons and old bottles, Lucius and Pansy stood with their backs to them, just behind the big black cabinet. When Harry was misrepresented to this store in the second grade, in order to avoid Malfoy and his son, he once hid in that big cabinet.

Judging from Lucius' gestures, he was talking enthusiastically, and the owner, Mr. Bo Jin, was a man with oily hair and a tall figure, standing in front of Lucius at the moment. The expression on his face was strange, mixed with resentment and fear. At this moment, they saw that Pan Xi's expression became lighter, instead of being pale before.

"If only we could hear what they're saying!" Ginny looked a little disappointed at the quiet window. "We can indeed!" Harry took out from his bag the pair of retractable ears that he asked the price just now, although he didn't intend to really take the twins' things for free, and he didn't rush to return the things when he was in a hurry just now. .

Ron turned his attention back at this time, and he complained with some taste: "Hmph, George and Fred didn't intend to give me anything..."

"Great..." Ginny started with a cheer before Ron smothered her mouth, and Harry untied the long, flesh-colored strings and began to control them as they moved between the roof and the walls. Two ears stuck out of the window, "Oh, I hope this window hasn't been disturbed..."

"No!" Pulling away her brother's hand, Ginny said happily, "Listen!"

They put their heads together and listened intently on the end of the string, Lucius's habitually airy voice coming through loud and clear, as if turning on a wizard radio.

"...do you know how to fix the other one?"

"Possibly," said Borgin, in a tone that seemed reluctant to make a statement, "but I need to see it first. Why don't you bring it to the shop?"

"I can't," Lucius said, "it has to stay where it is. You just have to tell me how to fix it."

Harry saw Borgin lick his lips nervously.

"Well, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I'm afraid it's hard to tell, and maybe there's nothing to be done about it. I can't promise anything."

"Can't?" said Lucius, and Harry could tell he was sneering in his tone. "Maybe it will give you more confidence."

Lucius approached Borgin, his body blocked by a large cabinet. Harry, Ron, and Ginny quickly sprawled on the roof and carefully tried to move to the other side, keeping Lucius out of sight, but all they could see was Borgin, who looked terrified.

"Don't tell anyone," said Lucius, "that you'll be overwhelmed. You know Bellatrix Black Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback? I came here to ask you for advice, to see if you are concentrating on solving this problem."

Bojin's pupils dilated a lot at once, and he looked a little scared, but he still tried his best to maintain a flattering smile and replied to Lucius: "There is no need..."

"It's up to me," Lucius said, and then he took out a cloth sack from his robe and threw it to his son's girlfriend, "Pansy, help me put this one in, we have to hurry up time."

Harry and the others couldn't help leaning forward, trying their best to see what they were planning to take away, but the shop owner, Mr. Bo Jin, seemed to sense someone peeping, so he took a few steps forward and looked up. The three of Harry quickly shrank away. Turning around and hiding behind the eaves, Mr. Borgin turned his head suspiciously. After looking out of the window for a long time, Mr. Borgin didn't notice anything strange. He pulled down the black curtain, blocked the window, and covered Harry and the others. The line of sight, and as the protective curtain falls, the retractable ears can no longer transmit any sound inside.

After a while, the bell on the door of Bojinbok's shop rang, Lucius strode out of the small shop, and Pansy followed behind him, looking very complacent.

Inside the store, Bojin closed the curtains again, and Harry and the others found that the store owner froze in place, the false smile on his face disappeared, and his expression looked worried.

And in Weasley's Magic Wheezes, Allen also noticed Hermione and Penello who were talking outside the door through the window at this time, so he walked out and asked, "What are you talking about?"
