The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 259 Don’t go to Knockturn Alley alone

Two days later in the morning, Mr. Borgin was waiting in the shop for the man who came that day to visit, but the smile on his face was a little malicious.

As the largest dealer in black magic items in the British magic world, there are naturally many people working under him to make a living, so after the man left, some people naturally followed him to find out the details of this strange man.

Back then, even fresh graduate Tom Riddle had worked at Bogin-Bock.Although Tom had ulterior motives at the time and condescended to work here, it also showed that Borgin-Bock still had capable people under his command.

The man who secretly investigated the man that day was named Clive. From the information he fed back, Mr. Borgin learned that the man with the suitcase had no deep background and even came to trade valuable basilisk skins and basilisk horns. They all came alone.

Mr. Bojin did have bad intentions. At first, he just thought that the man was a young boy and wanted to keep the price as low as possible.But I didn't expect that the other party would not follow the routine at all. If they disagreed, they would pick up the box and leave without giving them a chance to lower the price.

Mr. Bojin had no choice but to keep raising the price, and finally gave a very high price.He failed to kill people, but was killed instead. Mr. Bojin, who hunted geese all day long, finally had his eyes pecked out by birds.

How could Mr. Borgin swallow this? In addition, the basilisk skin and basilisk horns were indeed attractive, and the man had no background, so Mr. Borkin didn't have to worry much.

It was almost the same time as that day, and the man carrying the suitcase arrived. He still came alone, and he was still dressed in the same way as last time.Mr. Bojin came forward with a smile, his mouth was as respectful as before, but there was a steel knife for deboning hidden in his eyes.

Being alone means that this man has no friends he can trust, and he can only come alone for such an important transaction, with no one to respond.

The meeting showed that he was not one of the other pure-blood families that he was familiar with. Otherwise, he should have called him to their luxurious manor or luxurious house instead of carrying a heavy treasure through the streets.Otherwise, he should be like Lucius Malfoy and come to the shop with a list of items.

This man's behavior shows that he is just a nobody, and no one will hold him accountable if something goes wrong.

Nor did Mr. Borgin consider a lasting relationship, like Scott Warren did with Ada.Mr. Bojin felt that this man probably couldn't bring anything valuable anymore, so there was no need to leave a good impression on the other party.

As for the leather and horns in the suitcase, this little thief probably just stole them from somewhere, otherwise he wouldn't have taken action in such a hurry and wouldn't have been willing to wait another day.

In such a hurry to cash in, he should be planning to run away immediately and leave England as soon as possible.For these little thieves who are roving around to commit crimes, cheating is the best way, and it is also the way to maximize benefits.

Mr. Borgin didn't care if the thing really came from Hogwarts, but what if it did come from the Chamber of Secrets?Could Dumbledore still come to find him?Mr. Borgin also didn't care about the identity of the little thief or how he entered Hogwarts. Only a fool would believe that Hogwarts is the safest place.

The man did not respond to Mr. Borkin's greetings, but directly put the suitcase on the counter.Obviously he planned to hand over the goods immediately, handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, and did not want to waste precious time running around.

Although Mr. Borgin wanted to know more about this man, he was unwilling to cooperate, so he had to take out a special black money bag and hand it to him.

Two men in the shop, one counts the number of gold galleons in the wallet, and the other checks the authenticity of the basilisk skin and basilisk horn.For a moment, there was only the clear and sweet jingle of gold galleons in the entire store.

After counting, the money and goods were cleared, and the man finally had a smile on his face. He smiled and said: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Bojin. I hope there is still a chance for cooperation between us!"

"Of course, there will be one." said Mr. Borgin, who was smiling with a hidden knife. "Bogin-Bock is here, and I will always be here waiting for you to come again!"

Mr. Borkin smiled, bowed, and sent the man out of the store.When the man turned the corner, the smile on Mr. Borgin's face became even brighter because he saw that Clive had followed him with someone.

Good wine makes people's faces red, and wealth and silk touch people's hearts.Facing the temptation of money, if Mr. Bojin could be calmer and carefully recall the details of his relationship with the man, he would know how stupid his decision was.

On the outskirts of Devonshire, Clive and three companions followed the man all the way here.Although the man disapparated when he left Knockturn Alley, the black money bag revealed his location.

That is a special money bag that can be used for tracking and positioning. It is a must-have equipment for gangsters.It can be seen that this is not the first time Mr. Bojin has done this kind of thing.

Clive and his companions Jimmy, Gary, and Hill followed the signal all the way here, but they lost sight of the man, and there was only a small forest in front of them.

The leader, Clive, lowered his head to check the white wallet in his hand. The location shown on it was right here. There was no mistake about it, but where had this man hidden?Clive whispered: "I'll go with Gary, and Jimmy, you go with Hill. Let's search separately. He may have changed his appearance, so be careful."

Just when the four of them were about to split up, a girl in a dark green robe emerged from the woods in front of them.This girl has long shining golden hair and emerald-like eyes. If she’s not Ada, who could she be?

Ada's right hand was in her pocket, and her left hand was swinging the special black money bag. She smiled and asked, "Are you guys looking for this?"

Looking at the sudden appearance of the girl and the money bag in her hand, the four Clives immediately focused on alert, ready to take action at any time.The four people had been wandering around Knockturn Alley for many years, and they never asked such unprofessional questions as "Did you see a man?" or "Where did you pick up the money bag?" They believed that Ada was the man, just a change. The appearance.

"We know that you have made a fortune recently. As long as you take out the money and share it with everyone, we won't make it difficult for you." Clive said, he disguised the four of them as robbers who saw money instead of Bo Jin. The manpower sent by Mr.

Ada wouldn't believe this. After she visited Borgin-Bock for the first time, she saw this man following her. Of course she knew why Clive was following her.Ada threw the purse back and said, "Is this what you want?"

Hill, the youngest of the four, picked up the money bag that fell on the ground. He opened it and found that there was nothing inside.After the leader Clive saw it, he roared angrily: "You are playing tricks on us!"

"I did make a lot of money from Mr. Borgin, but what does that have to do with you?" Ada said unhurriedly, "Getting something for nothing is not a good habit. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Clive chuckled with a sarcastic face, and Jimmy, Gary, and Hill also slowly surrounded Ada, obviously preparing to take action.Clive said coldly: "Little girl, you are still too young. You should go back to school and study for two more years. A complicated place like Knockturn Alley is not suitable for you!"

Ada nodded, as if she recognized what Clive had just said.Ada continued: "You are right, the place in Knockturn Alley is dark and not suitable for me, and it is too dirty. The place is dirty, the people are dirty, and the heart is even dirtier."

Clive didn't want to be entangled anymore. The sooner he got the money, the sooner he could go back to deal with Mr. Borgin and avoid long nights and nightmares.He said sternly: "I say it one last time, hand over the money! We can let you live, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

The behavior of these four people is really like the group of good-for-nothing bastards who ask children to borrow money at the door of entertainment venues on the way home from school.But they are different from those bastards. They can do what they say.

Ada first looked around, confirmed the positions of the four people, and then said, "Do you think I still have a chance?"
