Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

He was sure that Hermione had no idea what this skull was for, it was not an ornament.

It seemed that Hermione also realized that she had been found out, and she suddenly went all out.

"Here's the thing, um, the boy that came in just now, Draco Malfoy, he's a friend of mine, and I'd like to give him a birthday present, but if he's already ordered something, I certainly don't want to Buy him another one of the same, you know, to avoid duplication, so, uh…”

The story was poorly made, and Borgin apparently thought so too.

"Get out," he yelled, "Get out!"

Before he could say it a second time, Hermione hurried out with Ivan, and Bokin chased him to the door.

The bell rang again, and Bo Jin slammed the door behind her, putting up a "Closed" sign.

"Not bad." Ron said, putting the invisibility cloak back on Hermione and Ivan, "It's a bold idea, worth a try, but you've done it too clearly!"

"Okay, next time you come and show me, Master Mystic!" She replied bluntly.

"Meow!" Ivan yelled again, signaling them to go back quickly.

If it weren't for the certainty that Bokin was looking out the window, he would have just transformed back.

What Hermione did just now was too reckless, and Bokin is not a fool, or an ordinary wizard with low vigilance.

He won't tell Hermione anything easily, especially since Ivan can be sure that Malfoy is now a Death Eater.

In this way, Bo Jin would not say anything.

It's easy to startle the snake by going in and asking like Hermione, letting Malfoy know that his whereabouts have been leaked.

But fortunately, Borgin is not part of Voldemort and Malfoy's group, and he will not say such things.

Ivan probably also guessed what Malfoy wanted to do, there was no need for them to waste time investigating here.

"Let's go, go back quickly." Hermione finally urged.

They stood up and Harry stopped suddenly.

"Wait, have you noticed that the direction Malfoy left just now is not Diagon Alley." He said hesitantly, "It's this side, deep in Knockturn Alley..."

Aiwen looked to the left, and the winding alley stretched forward until it was blocked by the house at the end.

Indeed, this direction is deep in Diagon Alley and will not go around Diagon Alley.

What was Malfoy doing there?It's just too suspicious.

None of them have been there, and Aiwen has walked inside once in the future.

In those dilapidated little houses that can't see the sun, the vampires who have lost their magic power are hiding...

In addition, there are other unpredictable evil and dark creatures.

Chapter 1262 The Underworld

Under the cloak of invisibility, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron headed deep into Knockturn Alley.

Although Malfoy has disappeared, there is only one road in this place, and it is easy to get lost.

They carefully observed the black magic shops on both sides of the alley, looking for Malfoy's figure. Most of these shops looked scary, decorated in dark tones, and displayed in the windows were things that would make people feel bad or bad at a glance. Scary stuff.

They didn't walk fast, and they didn't see anyone. The whole Knockturn Alley was as silent as death.

Occasionally, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind a window, proving that someone was looking out into the street.

These figures did not ease the horror atmosphere, but intensified the tension, because they all looked like ghosts.

"Let's go back, this place makes me feel bad," said Ron hesitantly, looking nervous.

"No, we have to find out what Malfoy is doing here," Harry insisted.

"He may have entered a shop, we missed him." Hermione said uncertainly, "What's in the depths of Knockturn Alley?"

"Meow!" Ivan called out in a low voice, which was regarded as an answer.

Yeah, what's in the depths of Knockturn Alley?

This is really an interesting topic.

In the depths of Knockturn Alley, behind the dark and messy alley, there is a mysterious underground world hidden.

It's the dark side of Britain's wizarding world, the fringes of society, populated by evil dark wizards, werewolves, vampires and other creatures that are out of mainstream society, and species that take refuge here like house-elves who have lost their masters And other thieves, crooks, etc. who go there with various purposes.

Chaos and darkness are synonymous with this area. The laws and rules formulated by the Ministry of Magic, like the sun, will never shine here.

Therefore, the underground world is also known as the dark area.

Its origin is unknown, no one knows, and even whether such a place exists has been debated.

The official statement of the Ministry of Magic is that those vicious dark wizards dug a few holes in the depths of Knockturn Alley in order to escape the pursuit of Aurors and legal sanctions. That's all, there is no underground world at all.

Moreover, this happened a long time ago. Even if these black wizards had not been arrested, it is impossible for them to be alive now.

Under the propaganda of the Ministry of Magic, most law-abiding wizards also believe that such a place does not exist.

Mrs. Weasley specifically told them about this matter. She thinks that the underground world is a product of fiction, a ridiculous conspiracy theory, just like people always say that the former Minister of Magic, Fudge, likes to eat goblins, it is simply nonsensical talk.

It was the goblin gold that Fudge liked, and he didn't really want to eat them.

But in fact, only those wizards who have really had contact with black magic know that this underground world really exists.

The first time Ivan heard about this place was from Sirius.

After his escape from Azkaban, he hid for a while in a crypt, part of the Underworld.

More precisely, a tiny fraction.

The so-called underground world is composed of countless crypts connected under the ground of Knockturn Alley. Some of these crypts are naturally formed, and some are excavated by humans. The creatures living in them are also different, ranging from human wizards to terrifying magical animals. .

The number of caves is huge, and the occupied area far exceeds Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley on the ground.

No one can visit all the caves, and no one can claim to really know this place.

In short, it's a scary place, full of all kinds of unexpected dangers.Sirius once warned Ivan and Harry not to go to Knockturn Alley to take risks secretly. I heard that in the underground world, there are still many cannibal monsters who specialize in catching children...

This warning is somewhat ridiculous, but don't doubt that there are real guys who eat children's hearts and livers in Knockturn Alley.

Old hags who stalk and mutter in the shadows, dark wizards twisted by dark magic, or succubuses known for their cruelty may all have such a penchant for lovable boys' bodies. soft spot...

The second time Aiwen heard someone mention the underground world was from Lupine.

After the war started, Dumbledore hoped that Lupine could return to the werewolves, scout for information, and win over other werewolves.

Therefore, Lupine gave up his job as editor-in-chief of the newspaper and entered the underground world, taking on this responsibility that made him feel disgusted and painful.

From him, Aiwen knew that the strongest force in the underground world is the werewolves.

They occupy most of the caves in the middle and upper layers of the underground world as their main activity areas and territories.

Originally, werewolves belonged to a small group, not many in number, and their power in the underground world was not the strongest.

At least, that was the case decades ago.

They stay away from wizards, get food by stealing and killing, and are often discriminated against and persecuted.

This situation has been completely changed until the appearance of the werewolf king Fenrir Greyback.

As the cruelest werewolf, Greyback made it his life goal to bite and infect as many people as possible.

He wants to create enough werewolves to conquer wizards, so he specifically bites children.

He believed that by biting them when they were young, they would grow up far away from their parents, grow up with hatred for normal wizards, and become members of the werewolf army. The plan finally worked.

Now, the werewolves have succumbed to Greyback's brutal rule and have made the Underworld their domain.

They are active there, continuing to do evil.

Ironically, most werewolves were infected by Greyback's persecution.

They should hate him, but none of the werewolves resisted. On the contrary, they hated normal wizards and people who abandoned them.

They obeyed Greyback's order, spreading the terrible werewolf virus and the engraved hatred everywhere.

I don't know if it was influenced by Greyback. His werewolves like to bite children, especially those boys with strong physique, because the infected boys will become one of them when they grow up. Become a strong werewolf...

So, Knockturn Alley is really unfriendly to boys!

The third time Ivan heard someone mention the underground world was from Voldemort's daughter Delphi.

In the future he went to, Delphi wanted to infiltrate the minister's office at the Ministry of Magic, and she needed Polyjuice Potion.

Regular shops do not sell this kind of potion, but as long as you have money, you can get anything in the underground world.

She led Ivan and 15-year-old Riddle to the underground world, and that was the closest Ivan was to that place.

Chapter 1263 Murderer's Bar

In the end, Aiwen did not enter the underground world.

He carried a lot of Polyjuice Potion with him, so he didn't need to go to the underground world to buy it. After Delphine became Hermione, they went back to the Ministry of Magic and sneaked into the Minister's Office to find the Time-Turner...

Although he didn't enter the underground world last time, Aiwen learned from Delphi how to enter there.

It is said that in the basement of the house at the end of Knockturn Alley, there is a passage into the crypt.

Just like entering Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron, tapping a brick on the wall of the basement with a wand will open the entrance to the lower space.

However, these are information 18 years later, and Aiwen is not sure whether it will work now.

The four of them walked cautiously along the street, heading deep into Knockturn Alley.

The group walked slowly, and Harry and Ron looked around from time to time, looking for signs of Malfoy.

Aiwen lay in Hermione's arms, and looked around vigilantly.

Speaking of which, Knockturn Alley 18 years later has not changed much compared to now, it just looks more dilapidated. Many black magic shops on both sides of the street have been replaced by shops selling vampires and witchcraft items.What hasn't changed is the strong dark atmosphere that hangs over this alley.

Aiwen can be sure that a few of them look suspicious.

Whether it's clothing, demeanor or existence itself, they are incompatible with everything in Knockturn Alley.

Thanks to the invisibility cloak, no one came to make trouble.

In this way, after 5 minutes, the four of them came to the end of Knockturn Alley, where the house closed.The house at the end of the alley is a pub, the Murderer's pub that Fred just mentioned, it looks the same as the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley from the outside, probably built in the same period.

But the surrounding environment and atmosphere are much worse than that of the Leaky Cauldron. You can't see the situation inside the dark door, but you can smell the strange pungent smell from the bar, which seems to be the smell of alcohol and blood. One can imagine the identities of the customers drinking in this kind of place, no wonder Fred and George would come here for excitement.

"It's over!" said Hermione. "We must have missed it with Malfoy."

"Strange, I didn't see him in the shop ahead..." Harry said.

"Let's go back, we've been away for too long." Ron kept looking around.

"Ivan, what do you think?" Hermione asked uncertainly.

"Meow!" Ivan jumped out of Hermione's arms, and jumped into the dark gap between two shops not far away.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other, hurriedly followed, and all squeezed in.

In the gap, Ivan's body was changing rapidly, and he turned back in an instant. He said, "Have you heard of the underground world of Knockturn Alley? In the bar in front of us, there is a passage leading to that place."

"The underground world? I remember Lupine said that it's the area where werewolves gather..."

"That's right, there is a gathering area for werewolves." Aiwen said, "But the underground world is not only werewolves, but also many dark wizards, thieves and liars like Mundungus, and we in Fred and George You see house-elves and the like in the store, it's the dark side of the wizarding world."

"The underground world, the territory of werewolves, Malfoy." Harry murmured, as if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his voice, "That's right, remember? Malfoy just mentioned Fenrir Greyback, He told Borgin that Greyback was a friend of the family, that he must have come to look for the werewolf, that must be the case, that they were plotting something together, that Voldemort might have ordered the two of them to do..."

"What will Voldemort ask Malfoy to do?!" Hermione asked back, "With Malfoy's ability, what can he do?! Harry, you are too suspicious, maybe things are not as complicated as we imagined. "

Harry shook his head, didn't answer, hadn't figured out what to say yet.He rethought what Malfoy had done, and the smug look on his face when he left the store, the only thing he was sure of was that it must be something good that made Malfoy look so happy.

Now, this matter has something to do with werewolves.

Proud Malfoy and the werewolf, what conspiracy are they planning?

"Let's go back, this place is very close to the werewolf's territory, it's too dangerous." Hermione finally said.

What happened a few years ago is still fresh in her memory, and she has dreamed of terrible werewolves in nightmares countless times.

"I think Hermione is right." Ron agreed with her rarely, staring at the door of the murderer's bar, as if a werewolf would jump out of there in the next second, "Why are we going Look for Malfoy, think about it, he's only 16 years old, and My-Know-Who won't let him do anything unless he's crazy."

"There must be something we don't know about here, Malfoy and the werewolf..." Harry said, he turned to look at Ivan, "I want to take a look at the underground world, Malfoy must be there."

"Harry, this so-called underground world is very big, unlike the black magic store just now, if Malfoy really went in, we might not necessarily find him, besides, it's very dangerous there." Hermione said, " Our most important thing right now is not to investigate what Malfoy is doing, but to ensure your safety."

"Okay, Hermione, it's actually not that dangerous to go in and take a look." Aiwen said, he was also very curious about the underground world, since he has come to the entrance, there is no reason not to go in, "The underground world is not only there are werewolves , It’s not that other people are not allowed to enter. Go in and have a look, if Malfoy really goes to the underground world, we will definitely meet him down there, and we will know what he plans to do. Of course, the three of you will be closer to me in a while One point, if there is any accident, we will just apparate and leave."
