Chapter 4109 4111 [Mysterious Wizard]

Xiang Nan took Lily out of Borgin & Burke's and quickly walked out of Knockturn Alley.

Although they ran into a few dark wizards on the way, they were all shocked to see them and hid faster than them, just like mice seeing a cat.

Therefore, Xiang Nan and Lily were able to successfully walk out of Knockturn Alley and come to Diagon Alley.

"Where were we just now?" Lily asked in confusion.

"That alley is Knockturn Alley." Xiang Nan explained, "It is the filthiest and darkest place in the magic world. The shops there sell all kinds of dark magic items, and only dark wizards gather there.

I heard from my mother that those dark wizards like to kidnap underage wizards the most. Because they have magic power in their bodies, they are very good materials for casting spells, especially for casting dark magic."

"Will they kill them?" Lily said in horror, and immediately thought of the materials used in potions class. Caterpillars, toad eggs, frog livers, mouse tails, unicorn tail hairs...

When she used these materials to make potions, she never thought that she might become a material one day.

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "The blood, internal organs, bones, brains, skin, and even souls of wizards are all materials that dark wizards crave. So don't be curious and go to Knockturn Alley alone. Once something happens, it will be too late to regret."

Lily's face turned pale and she nodded quickly.

...

Then, the two went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley and bought the textbooks needed for the second grade. The money was paid by Xiang Nan.

"Sev, thank you, I will pay you back for this money." Lily said to Xiang Nan.

"Don't say that, you helped me make potions, and you didn't ask for a copper knut, so what's the big deal about two textbooks." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

"I can only help you with your work, but I can't learn as much from you as I do." Lily also waved her hand and said.

She could only make some simple potions. She couldn't make the Joy Potion, Intelligence Potion, Living Hell Potion, and Powerful Healing Potion, so she didn't help much. But she made potions with Xiang Nan and learned a lot from him.

"Okay, we are all friends, so don't be so clear." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

Lily nodded.

At this moment, two voices said, "You are here to buy books too, what a coincidence~", "Yes, how can it be such a coincidence?"

Xiang Nan and Lily looked back and saw that it was James Potter and Sirius Black.

"You are here to buy books too, what a coincidence~" Xiang Nan smiled.

In fact, it was not a coincidence, because the students of Hogwarts all received owl letters today. It is normal to come to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley to buy books after receiving the letter.

After all, this is the only place in the entire British wizarding world that sells new textbooks.

…

After buying the book, the four of them sat in Florin's cold drink shop, eating ice cream and chatting.

"Just now, Lily and I used Floo powder and accidentally called the wrong place name, and ran to Knockturn Alley." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Wow, really? Is it thrilling and exciting?" James Potter asked excitedly when he heard it, "It is said that there are dark wizards there, and my parents don't let me go at all."

"It's not dangerous. Those dark wizards hide faster than us when they see us." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "I didn't even have a chance to show off."

"Why is that?" Sirius asked puzzled.

As far as he knew, those dark wizards were very cruel. Whenever they saw a solitary wizard, especially an underage wizard, they would take action immediately, or seduce or force them, abduct them, and then kill them.

That's why parents repeatedly remind their children not to go to Knockturn Alley. No matter how curious they are, it's not allowed. This is a lesson learned at a bloody price.

"I heard from the owner of Borgin & Burke's that a dark wizard came to Knockturn Alley a few days ago. He liked to pretend to be a child and play the fool. I don't know how he sucked away some of the magic power of the dark wizards and turned them into Squibs. So maybe those dark wizards think that Lily and I are also playing the fool."

"Is there such a thing?" James Potter said in surprise.

He knew the difference between wizards and Squibs, but he didn't know that wizards could actually degenerate into Squibs. It was too strange.

"I also thought it was strange and wanted to continue asking, but the boss refused to say anything." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"This matter is indeed strange. I will ask about it later." Sirius said excitedly.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, contact through owls."

He deliberately brought up this topic just to find out if those dark wizards really turned into Squibs.

If it is true, it would be great. Those dark wizards usually do a lot of evil and lawless things, and now they finally get retribution.

As for the wizarding world, who is better informed than pure-blood families like James Potter and Sirius Black?

…

After eating ice cream, Xiang Nan and Lily said goodbye to James and Sirius, and then returned home through the fireplace in Diagon Alley using Floo powder.

With the experience of the last time, Lily did not make any mistakes this time.

“It’s amazing, I love magic.” Seeing that she returned home from Diagon Alley in the blink of an eye and traveled hundreds of miles in an instant, Lily felt very magical.

Xiang Nan also smiled and nodded, “Don’t tell anyone about Knockturn Alley, so as not to worry your parents.” He reminded in a low voice.

Lily nodded.

…

In the following month, Lily came to Xiang Nan's house almost every day, learning to brew potions with him and learning magic knowledge with him.

The "Standard Spells: Level 2" includes the immobilization spell, the creaking spell, the dancing spell, the revealing spell, the swelling spell, the oolong out of the hole, etc.

These spells are child's play for Xiang Nan. But for Lily, they are still quite profound and need to be learned to master.

Fortunately, there is a teacher like Xiang Nan, and she herself is also amazingly talented, so Lily learns very quickly. When the school starts, she has mastered these spells.

"Lily, you are indeed a genius." Xiang Nan clapped his hands and laughed.

"In front of you, how can I be called a genius." Lily was very self-aware and waved her hand and laughed.

When Xiang Nan first entered school last year, he had learned more than most seventh-grade students. After a year of study, his strength is probably close to some professors at Hogwarts. And I am at most an excellent student, and the level is still far behind.

"I also owe it to my mother's teaching." Xiang Nan smiled.

In fact, Snape's strength was also average, although he was proficient in many spells, knowing more than seventh-grade students. But because of insufficient magic power, he was no match for James and Sirius.

But Xiang Nan absorbed the magic power of more than 30 wizards and made up for this shortcoming. So he could look down on all the students in Hogwarts.
