Chapter 106 Knockturn Alley Purchase (monthly ticket 5001000 plus update)
Harry did write to Uncle Vernon when he was at school, but he did not ask his uncle to come and pick him up. He simply informed him, "I'm coming back."
However... he worded it very politely, trying not to offend this somewhat sensitive uncle.
What Harry didn't expect was that his uncle actually asked Hedwig to bring him a reply, and for the first time in the letter, he asked when he would be back.
This left Harry a little confused.
He walked to the platform and took out a piece of Muggle currency from his pocket.
He hailed a taxi and got in it.
He had already stuffed the suitcase into the small package of the Seamless Stretch Charm, and Hedwig was also keeping Pabi company, so he moved lightly and didn't need to drag anything heavy at all.
Magic, amazing.
"It's a nice day today, isn't it?"
The taxi driver was a middle-aged man who started chatting with Harry as soon as he got in the car.
Harry looked out the car window. The gloomy weather made it difficult to tell whether it was going to rain or not.
"It's really good," he said.
I kept chatting with the driver all the way, and there were continuous traffic jams on the road.
By the time Harry arrived at the door of the Leaky Cauldron, almost an hour had passed.
He walked into the Leaky Cauldron, and Old Tom saw him and came up to him immediately.
"Potter, Mr. Potter, it's a great pleasure..." he said.
"Hello, Tom," said Harry, "I need a room."
Old Tom took him upstairs and arranged him into a room.
After he walked out, Harry took out the age-enhancing potion he had prepared from his pocket.
After a while, seventeen-year-old Harry appeared in the room.
He changed his clothes and put the remaining age-enhancing agent in his pocket, ready to take a sip at any time.
After thinking about it again, he took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then walked out of the room.
The Leaky Cauldron was always very noisy, and the sudden appearance of seventeen-year-old Harry did not attract anyone's attention.
He walked to the wall, clicked twice in order, and the door to Diagon Alley opened.
He did not choose to go to Knockturn Alley as his first stop, but planned to eat some rice pad to fill his stomach at the restaurant in Diagon Alley.
He didn't eat much at all in the car, just what he had eaten in the morning, which had been digested long ago after a bumpy day.
After eating and drinking, Harry stretched his waist and slowly stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
I have to admit that the French food in the wizarding world is indeed very authentic and delicious.
After entering Knockturn Alley this time, no one came forward to trouble him again.
The dark wizards are not fools. After Daweima was defeated last time, the dark wizards became more careful.
Be especially careful with men wearing glasses.
Harry used magic to cover his scar, still curious.
Hey, how come no dark wizard comes to trouble me?
In this case, what to do with the wand?
Harry did some calculations, um... one for Ron, one for Hermione, Neville, Seamus, Cedric... He didn't rule out whether new classmates would join after the start of school. Harry felt that he should prepare for a rainy day. Just keep a few extra wands handy.
But there was no dark wizard in front of him, and Harry felt that things should not develop like this.
He thought for a while and decided to go to the Borgin Bock store first.
After pushing the door open, there was still no one standing behind the counter in Bock's store.
Harry walked up to the counter and rang the bell.
The bell rang, and a moment later Mr. Bock appeared behind the counter.
"Oh, it's my respected Mr. Sebastian!" Mr. Bock sighed greasyly after seeing Harry, and stretched out his hands: "It's an honor, it's an honor to meet you!"
There is a reason why he is so respectful. The Dawema who followed "Sebastian It's None of Your Fucking Business" to Bock's shop last time has been turned into a Flobber caterpillar and stepped on Juice splashed everywhere.
Mr. Bock, who has been running a black shop for many years, has long developed a superb way of observing people's emotions. He targeted "Sebastian" almost instantly.
Of course, Mr. Bock also understood why Sebastian was so grumpy. After all, he was a capable person, so he had to understand.
Harry stretched out his hand to shake his hand a few times, then withdrew his hand and said, "Mr. Bock, I need some goods that are in short supply. I knew from the last time that you are a capable person, so... I hope you won't disappoint me."
"That's it, that's it." Mr. Bock proudly patted his chicken-breasted chest: "In this Knockturn Alley, if nothing else, there are only things that buyers can't think of. There is nothing that my Bockin Bock store can't sell!"
"That's good." Harry wiped the holly wand casually with his black-gloved hand.
Mr. Burke's eyes widened when he saw the wand.
But he only glanced at it twice and then withdrew his gaze.
"Excuse me, what do you need?" Mr. Bock asked.
"Phoenix tears, are there any?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Mr. Bock nodded quickly, "And it's cheaper than what's sold outside. You only need two gold Galleons and seven Sickles to buy these."
As he spoke, Mr. Bock took out the test tube and compared it.
"I want some," said Harry, "just bring me two ounces of Phoenix Tears."
Mr. Burke calculated for a while and said to Harry: "Shenghui, nine Galleons and eleven Sickles."
"Counting money is really a tedious job, isn't it?" Harry took out the money and pushed it to Mr. Burke.
"Yes, yes." Mr. Bock nodded in agreement. After careful inspection, he said with a smile: "Do you need anything else? Mr. Sebastian?"
"I also need a fire dragon heart." Harry said.
"This..." Mr. Bock hesitated.
"What, you don't have one here?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, it's not." A smile appeared on Mr. Bock's face: "It's just that fire dragon hearts are in short supply, and the price is..."
"I'll buy it if it suits me," Harry said casually.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Bock said quickly, "Well... I have the heart of a black dragon from the Hebridean Islands. The price is slightly more expensive, and it costs thirty-six Galleons, ten Sickles, and seven Nats."< br>
"How come there are so many parts?" Harry frowned, "Well, if you are willing to sell it for thirty galleons, I will take this black dragon's heart."
He never wanted to be taken advantage of. The last time he bought a fire dragon heart, it wasn't so expensive.
"This is not possible!" Mr. Bock immediately called out to Tianqu: "Mr. Sebastian, these are fresh fire dragon hearts. It has only been less than two days since I took them from the dragon. I still need to use them." The right magic encapsulates it, and the price I sell it for is absolutely fair and just!”
"Your price is not right for me." Harry was unmoved, turning the wand absentmindedly, staring at the lines on the bottom of the wand.
"Mr. Sebastian, look, where can I buy a fire dragon heart in Knockturn Alley now?" Mr. Bock was still trying to persuade Harry to accept the price: "The Ministry of Magic has long stipulated that if you want to buy a fire dragon heart, you must Have a legal certificate to prove your purpose of taking this heart - who else besides me can sell you a fire dragon heart that you can buy without qualifications? "
"Thirty Galleons." Harry remained motionless. "Thirty-two galleons, Mr. Sebastian." Mr. Bock sighed: "I won't make any money from this - I'll sell it to you at the cost price! Just treat it as making you a friend!"
"Thirty Galleons." Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Thirty-one!" Mr. Bock sighed: "Don't let me lose too much...it's not very profitable to do black market business these days."
"Thirty Galleons." Harry was unmoved at all.
Mr. Bock took a deep breath.
"Okay, then I'll sell it to you at a loss!" He said through gritted teeth, as if he had lost a lot of money on this transaction: "Anyway, you will come to the store often in the future, and I will treat you as a friend!"
He turned around and pulled out a small magic box from underneath.
"This is the heart of the Black Dragon of the Hebridean Islands." Mr. Burke carefully opened the box and showed it to Harry.
Of course Harry knew what it was. After confirming the goods, he closed the box and stuffed the heart into his pocket.
Then, he coded out thirty galleons and put them on the table.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Thank you, dear sir." Mr. Bock said very smoothly.
He was also chuckling in his heart. Fortunately, fortunately, this order... made a profit of six galleons!
Harry looked at Mr. Burke with a half-smile. Of course he knew that this transaction was profitable.
But he doesn't want to do anything wrong. Black Dragon's heart is indeed difficult to deal with, so it's okay to let the other party make some money.
After all, the fact is that as Mr. Bock said, there is really nothing to sell outside.
"One last thing." Harry asked: "I also need the basilisk's fangs."
Mr. Bock was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say?"
It wasn't that he didn't hear clearly, but he just couldn't believe what Harry wanted.
"I said, I need some basilisk fangs." Harry said casually, reaching out to pick up the sand on the table and holding it in his hand. "This is the Sand of Time, right? Weigh five ounces for me."
"Okay, dear sir." Mr. Bock picked up the small shovel, measured out five ounces of Sand of Time for Harry, and said apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Sebastian, I don't have any basilisks here. Fangs.”
"Didn't you say you could get anything here?" Harry looked at him intently.
Mr. Bock quickly waved his hand and said: "But basilisk fangs are not included. Basilisks are magical creatures that are prohibited from being cultivated by the Ministry of Magic. If I can find a channel for basilisk fangs, I will definitely sell them in the store. ——After all, it’s not illegal to sell this thing, but I don’t have any purchasing channels.”
"Then do you know where the basilisk is?" Harry asked.
"This, I really don't know." Mr. Bock shook his head and said: "Things like basilisks... are indeed rare things. If you don't raise them well, they will only obey the orders of Parselmouth - but since the Gaunt family After the death of the heir, who among us is a natural Parselmouth? So no one will cultivate the Basilisk."
Is the Gaunt family extinct?
Harry felt a little sad, but not sympathetic.
After all, except for Ominis, a young man with a bright heart, none of the remaining members of the Gaunt family are good.
To say that they are twisted in their hearts is a compliment to them.
"What about Greece?" Harry asked again: "I remember that Greece likes to cultivate this kind of basilisk. Even the basilisk is a Greek wizard. The despicable Herbo was the first to cultivate it-could it be that Greece No more now? ”
"The Greek Ministry of Magic has banned the breeding of such monsters." Mr. Bock sighed, "Alas."
"Alas." Harry shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this good custom has not been passed down."
Mr. Bock suddenly raised his head and glanced at "Sebastian" with a complicated expression.
Good guy, you...
What kind of good custom is this? Do you have any misunderstandings about good customs? !
But to a certain extent, Mr. Bock did agree with Harry's words.
After all, the basilisk fangs and the basilisk's shed skin are both in short supply, so use them as little as possible.
Everyone knows that someone is secretly breeding basilisks - because this thing is so scarce.
But everyone also knows that cultivating this kind of thing requires jail time, and they dare not leak any information to the outside world.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Harry politely bowed to Mr. Burke, "May Merlin guide your path, Mr. Burke."
"Same to you, Mr. Sebastian." Mr. Bock returned the same polite greeting.
During this trip to Knockturn Alley to purchase goods, Harry could be considered to have achieved half of his goal.
The only materials needed to open Slytherin's study are the Angel Feathers stored in Gringotts.
And the wands he wanted to prepare for the students in the Duel Cabin were also placed on the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley.
He could go to Ollivander's store to buy it - but wouldn't it cost money to buy a wand from him?
Why spend money to buy it when you can buy it for zero yuan?
Harry could still settle the score.
He plans to borrow the wand from the dark wizards first. Well... since they don't take the initiative to come, then I will take the initiative to find them.
Thinking of this, Harry lowered his hood and walked forward.
When he reached a small alley, Harry stepped in. Looking around, he saw a closed door.
"Revilio!"
With the help of a detection spell, Harry discovered the dark wizard lying in the house.
He knocked on the door very politely.
"Who?"
A rough voice sounded in the room.
After a while, the door was opened, and what appeared behind the door was a face that looked like it was not a good person at first glance.
The wizard smiled ferociously.
"What's the matter? Boy?"
"Hello, I'd like to borrow your wand." Harry said politely.
The wizard was enraged at Harry's words.
"Are you humiliating me? Boy with glasses! You don't know that I am from Azkaban..."
"Oh, it seems you don't want to."
Harry raised his eyebrows and pointed a finger at the chest of the wizard opposite.
"I'm sorry - Imperio!"
