[HP] Wonderful Flowers Change the World

27. The past in Little Hangleton·1

When Snape walked through Diagon Alley to the entrance of Knockturn Alley, he had already taken Polyjuice Potion. In order to prevent everyone from recognizing each other, Lockhart suggested that they all hold a blue cornflower in their left hand. It is a common waterside flower in August.Snape wanted to snort, and when he arrived at the door of Borginbock, he found that there were small blue petals scattered on the ground, and three people were playing the game of pulling the petals, and one of them continued to conjure new flowers. .

"Yo! You're here." Lockhart threw down the bare flower branch, and the three of them stood up.

"Well, are we going here now?" Snape didn't quite know the reason for Dawn's appointment here, could it be that he wanted to form a group to buy something together.Looking at the Bojinbok sign on one side, I haven't been here for a long time. To be honest, there are some things worth looking for.Of course, just don't let the boss pay off your debts because you can't afford the Galleon.

"It's here. At this time, no one has come." Dawn pushed open the door of the store and knocked on the wind chime hanging in the store. It made a crisp sound of 'ding ding dong dong'. The tone is still good.

"It's really not a good feeling to have a guest come to the door early in the morning." The blogger Bo Jin muttered, coming out from behind, seeing that his hair was still in a curly posture, it was obvious that at eight o'clock in the morning, he Haven't come out of sleep yet.

"Do business for me early in the morning." Bojinbok saw four people in black robes, which is not surprising, this is the uniform attire that came to Knockturn Alley, and then he saw the face of one of them , although she knew that it should be someone else's face, she was stunned for a second when she saw the bronze patterned card in her hand, "It turned out to be E, you haven't been here for a long time, why do you have something good to sell?" ?"

Bojin said and cast a spell on the pattern card in Dawn's hand, and the image on it swam. Bojin stared at it for a few seconds without blinking his eyes, as if to ensure its authenticity.

The other three went to the store to see if there were any items they wanted. Lovegood followed Snape, passing on the expression that this is my first visit, what do you think is good to buy.

"I'm looking for something." Dawn said to Bo Jin, "A disappearing cabinet, the price is still the same as before."

Bo Jin nodded, and pointed to a black curtain at the back, "There just happened to be one there. It's a coincidence that you came here, as long as this is it?" simplicity.

"Two pieces of urgent information, all the changes in the London Muggle Orphanage between 1927 and 1945, and the accidental death of the London Muggle more than 30 years ago." Dawn answered concisely, and took out a embroidered The small bag with black silk thread was thrown on Bo Jin's counter, "This is the deposit."

Bo Jin tilted its weight, very good, there should be fifty gold Galleons, "at 12 noon, 554 Bell Street, wait for news at the Chinese restaurant."

"That thing just now is the token of the black market." Lockhart asked Dawn mysteriously. The bronze token should be the token of the black market, one of the three underground dark organizations in the legendary wizarding world.The formation time of this organization is too early to be verified. Now every country has rumors that they only hear their name but not their shadow. According to the legend, there is a black market fair every year, where there are only things you dare not want, and you can’t get anything. what you get.

Dawn nodded generously, "You really know a lot, it's that thing, why did you get it before?"

"No, I just met it before." Lockhart never clearly mentioned the past, but judging from his knowledge of unpopular knowledge, he lived in a not so simple environment, at least not a young Muggle Things that the little wizards in the world can understand.

"Black market? What is that, is it similar in nature to Knockturn Alley?" Lovegood looked at the token and found nothing special, could it be just a joint thing.

Snape also looked at Dawn curiously. He has also entered and exited Knockturn Alley countless times, and guessed the source of their goods, but every place has its own rules of survival. Gray areas like Knockturn Alley are even more difficult. It cannot be explored by outsiders.

As long as you care about the transaction, don't care about the things behind the transaction. This is the first guideline for shopping in Knockturn Alley.Even in Voldemort's heyday, his control over that place was close to zero.The place that is not controlled by the power of the big family and the law has its own rules.

"Knockturn Alley is just the frontier of the black market. The entire black market is the behind-the-scenes world of the gray area similar to Knockturn Alley in Europe and even the wizarding world in the world. The black market provides sources of black magic items for the outside world, and large-scale organizations organize unconventional magic items Of course, it’s not just items, it also accommodates wanted criminals from various countries and marginal populations that are not recognized by the wizarding world, similar to Houtian werewolves.” Dawn counted the functions of the black market in detail.

Snape was thoughtful. In Europe, apart from the British magic world, where criminals were imprisoned in Azkaban for no reason, and dementors tortured them to dehumanize them, the prisons in other countries were different. Taking Germany as an example, different prisons are set up in different places according to crimes.But not all the most wanted criminals have been arrested, absconding is what they often do, and those who disappeared are protected by the forces of the black market. "The token is the only way to get in? So how do you get such a token?"

"It cannot be said to be the only way, but it is the most peaceful way. There are roughly three ways to obtain tokens. The first is family inheritance, and this is mine. The second is because after your business is noticed there, someone will come Contact. The third is to go to places like Knockturn Alley in each country to find someone to apply, but the conditions are very strict, and more than three members of the organization must guarantee you to be eligible for entry. Every The styles of the tokens are different, and they are limited to the use of the person or the person designated by the person, and will be discarded immediately once used by others.”

"It will also be besieged and hunted down by the black market forces. Except for the foreign auction held once every ten years, the black market is still very exclusive at other times." Lockhart added later, causing Snape to read more He glanced at this world full of secrets.

"Dawn, there shouldn't be many tokens passed down by the family. I haven't heard of them in the British family." This is Lovegood who is obsessed with collecting information.

Dawn shook his head, "As far as I know, only the Zabini family owns one in the UK. It is rumored that Weasley also owned it many years ago, but they have already embarked on a path that is too one-sided. The family's token is It originated from providing sufficient supply for the black market and relative magic help.

But, more importantly, they couldn't take odd positions, as the Weasleys had become too Muggle-biased now, and that wasn't okay either.Like Malfoy and Black that everyone knows, they are not qualified to be proud of their pure blood.Bias makes people lose their correct judgment, and it will make them fall into prejudice and arrogance, which is intolerable in the black market.

The gray area does not need extremes, but peace of checks and balances. "

Snape nodded secretly, this is also a way of balance, if possible, he would also like to visit there, a black market full of mysteries and strange things.

"Then the news we'll get later is what they collected. Can the black market of the wizarding world really include all the news from the Muggle world?" This is what Lovegood cares about.

Dawn thought of the American underground data center that her brother Condela took her to. Such a huge database, the data collected in it even surpassed the knowledge of Muggles themselves. This is really a guarantee for wizards and Muggles to live in peace. However, Muggles never know how many dreadful forces exist in the long-standing abnormal world.

"You will know this right away. You must know that there are still many squibs living in the Muggle world. Their life and work are destined to pay attention to every move of Muggles." The four of Dawn came to the middle At the entrance of the restaurant, the old and greasy storefront really doesn't look like an information exchange office.

"Welcome--" When four people opened the door of the restaurant, a voice came out from behind the counter. It was a thin Chinese man, "What do you want to eat? Today there is only Kung Pao Chicken set menu."

"I want a fish-flavored shredded pork." Dawn replied succinctly.

"Are you sure it's not beef with oyster sauce?" The thin man raised his eyelids.

"Just beef tenderloin with black pepper." Dawn answered.

"Old Fatty, I'm looking for you." The thin man opened his throat and called out to the back kitchen.

I saw a fat and bald man appearing with a spoon, "I'm here to ask for information, wait until I cook this dish."

This is how the legend goes, the tall people are hidden in Chinese restaurants in Chinatown.
