The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

Victor used his wand to gently push aside the hanging scythe at the door, and walked into Borgin-Bock Magic Shop.

I'll never like their outrageous prices.Victor thought as he looked at the opal necklace priced at six hundred galleons.

Mr. Borgin brought a wicker chair made of dragon whiskers, which was the most normal thing Victor had ever seen.

The boss said he would soon be able to estimate the price of the purple square cloth.

Of course I believe that it is for this purpose.

Mr. Borgin is rumored to have been a curse-breaker at Gringotts.

He has traveled to hundreds of ancient ruins around the world.His forensic knowledge is the Gringotts Treasure Hunting Team's greatest asset.

After that, the boss left the banking institution and became self-employed.

After being corrupted by the decadent and delicious smell of capitalism, Mr. Borgin became a shady businessman with an eye for money.

The only mistake he made in his life was to buy the Slytherin locket of the impoverished Merope with only ten galleons.

And without knowing it, he hired Merope's son, Tom?6?1 Riddle.

Professor Binns of the History of Magic will read the rest of the story to the young wizards of the 21st century in the future.

Before Victor came, he wrote to Lucius and asked him how he could find out the true value of a good thing he got unexpectedly from Mr. Borgin.

Lucius replied respectfully, he understood, and he would ask someone to say hello to Mr. Borkin.

Moreover, he also asked the heads of two other pure-blood families in the UK to sign a joint letter of sponsorship for Professor Eisner.

Victor also understands.

He promised Lucius that he would attend the so-called pure-blood wizard gathering on Halloween.However, a specific time cannot be guaranteed.

Lucius said he would keep the candle burning until then.

"Professor Eisner, can you tell me in detail the origin of this square cloth?" Mr. Bogin seemed to be in some trouble.

Of course, I have no reservations.

Quirrell only told me that he got it from an African prince, and kept silent about any more information.What Professor Quirrell said is the origin of the purple square cloth.

Mr. Borkin was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

The origin of Fang Bu is related to the angle from which he wants to evaluate it.

If you got it from an old woman who made kimchi, the cloth that was randomly woven would not be considered unusual.That would explain the smell of garlic on the cloth.

"I'm pretty sure the cloth doesn't smell like garlic, Mr. Borgin. By the way, what interests me most is the pattern on the cloth.

"Can you see what's the mystery here? My divination tells me it has something to do with ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs."

Ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs, ah, this explains why among the historical overprints of the cloth, there is the overlay of the ancient Egyptian Hat's turban.

But the pattern?There is a slight resemblance to Persian rugs, but not enough of a characteristic to aid in valuation.

In fact, what intrigued Mr. Bojin the most was not the pattern on the cloth, but the material and weave of the cloth.

The white linen is dyed and has special stitching.

And behind the foul smell of garlic, there was an inexplicable volatile substance that was also attached to the cloth.

"I'll have to take a closer look with the dwarf's convex mirror. Please wait a moment, Mr. Eisner."

Dwarven convex mirror?Victor repeated.

Glasses made by goblins.Those dwarf money fans always use their creativity on how to identify gold and silver treasures.

I took it with me as a souvenir after I left Gringotts.

This incident was included in the only unsolved case file of bank theft in the [-]th century by the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts.

Victor was in awe of Mr. Borgin!

Mr. Borgin took out a pair of monocles from the mechanism box that Victor could not see. The temples were a little unstable because of the sliding wire.

"Don't worry, Mr. Eisner. You've already paid forty galleons for this, and I'll give you an estimate anyway.

Appraisal items are an additional charge item in Borgin-Bock Magic Store.

Forty galleons, plus the sewing at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop and the purchase of the Book of White, it seems that most of the wool I collected from Hogwarts has been spent in just one go these days.

There must be something magical about Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley that makes people spend money.

Under the convex mirror of the Gringotts dwarf, Mr. Borgin paid close attention to every detail.

Following the direction of the twine, he had a hunch that the answer was close at hand.

He must have seen a similar trend when he was a Cursebreaker at Gringotts.In Egypt…

After a pause, Mr. Borgin put away the dwarf's convex mirror, sniffed it close, and suddenly raised his head and said to Victor:

"Mr. Eisner, you'd better be careful if you want to keep this piece of cloth around.

"I think it's possible that it contained a curse, or some other trace of magic, that is still attached to the cloth to this day.

“It’s really an ancient Egyptian thing.

"It's the white linen used to wrap mummies."

After the silence, as if he had expected it, Victor closed his eyes and nodded. When he opened his eyes again, he only asked one question:

“Was it used to wrap the Pharaoh?”

“At this point, it’s very likely yes.

"One of its historical folds is the folding of Hat's turban. That was the turban worn by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. But, you know, that's just an inference."

Mr. Borgin spread his hands and said that was all he could conclude.

In addition, six hundred galleons, this is the estimate.

Because the full picture is unknown, it can only be evaluated as a cursed item, and the price is the same as the cursed opal necklace in the store.

This information has far exceeded Victor's expectations.

I have to say thank you to Mr. Borkin.

By the way, if he will be attending the Halloween party at Malfoy Manor.

If I remember correctly, Borgin, 6, 1 Bork, is married to a woman from the Black family.Also a noble.

Mr. Borgin indirectly hinted that even if he didn't have to rely on these meaningless social interactions, those pure-blood wizards would still respect him for his goods.

It's like they respect you because of the Eisner name even though they don't understand who you are.

Victor said goodbye to Mr. Borgin with a narrowed smile.

"You don't want your stuff?" Mr. Borkin gestured to the purple square cloth on the counter.

Victor turned around and said to the boss:

"Didn't you say it might be cursed? Then I'll sell it to you. I don't want to bring any trouble to Hogwarts.

"But let me make a request. I won't ask you for six hundred galleons.

“In exchange, when you sell it, just put it on the shelf and don’t say it’s from Egypt, don’t say it’s cursed.

"If anyone comes to buy it, please notify me as soon as possible. I will leave you my owl address."

I wanted to know who would be interested in such a thing and how much he would know about this piece of cloth.
