176 Borgin-Bock
Finally the day came to go to Diagon Alley.
early morning.
The rising sunlight filled the entire bedroom, and Karan woke up little by little.
He walked to the sink, washed himself briefly, and then stared at himself in the mirror with burning eyes.
"Still so radiant." The mirror praised him.
The corners of Karan's mouth raised slightly, and he said meaningfully.
"After all, today is a special day."
"Can you tell me why?" Jing Jing asked curiously.
"Because Hogwarts is about to start."
Karan smiles and turns to leave.
"And it will be a safer Hogwarts."
After everything was cleaned up, Karan left his house and went to Snape's home again.
This was something they had agreed upon long ago: pass the fireplace in Snape's house and use Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley together.
When Callan arrived, Snape was already dressed and looked a little excited and nervous.
He hadn't seen Lily for a long time.
Mrs. Prince was whispering something, her expression revealing concern.
The store's business has just picked up a bit, and recently many children from the village will come here to play with a few gobstones. She really can't leave.
In addition, Snape went with Callan when he first went to Diagon Alley, so she had no choice but to let the two children continue to do so.
After Karan arrived, Mrs. Prince forcibly dragged him and gave him some instructions, telling him what he needed to pay attention to when using floo powder.
"The location must be clearly stated..."
"There are many kinds of magic fire, but don't go to the wrong furnace door..."
Karan nodded politely, acting like a well-behaved child.
During this period of time, Mrs. Prince had already learned about Karan’s life experience from Snape’s mouth.
"Mr. Anthony, he is really a kind man." Mrs. Prince said with emotion at the time.
This also made her care more about Karan.
Snape on the side curled his lips secretly after seeing this.
He finally understood Karan's tactics.In front of unfamiliar people, Karan always pretends to be polite and courteous, winning the favor of others.
For example, Mrs. Prince, after seeing that Callan often came to Snape, she was even considering whether to set aside a bedroom for him.
"Cough! Hypocrisy...cough!"
Snape coughed twice and mocked Karan.
Karan avoided Mrs. Prince's gaze and gave him a hard glare.
After a while, Mrs. Prince let them go and brought a small cup of Floo powder over.
"I'll go first."
At this time, Karan suddenly said.
Snape looked at him in surprise: "Don't you need me to give you a demonstration first?"
But Karan was impatient.
"I haven't used Floo powder yet."
He said excitedly, grabbed a handful of sparkling powder, walked to the stove, and threw the powder into the flames.
With a roar, the fire turned green and rose higher than Karan's entire body.
He looked at this so-called with interest, and then walked in without hesitation.
Suddenly, a hot wind hit his face, and the flames did not hurt Karan at all.
In the sight of the two people outside the furnace, Karan seemed to be choked by the hot wind. He suddenly coughed and said, "Yes... lane."
His last few words were unclear.
Snape looked at the empty fireplace and was stunned.
"What did he just say?" Mrs. Prince asked worriedly.
"Seems to be......"
Snape frowned deeply and said in an uncertain tone.
"Knockturn Alley?"
On the other side, while the world was spinning for a while, Karan tried to stabilize his body. He saw a series of furnace doors vaguely flashing past him, and he could vaguely glimpse the room outside the furnace.
Finally, after a period of physical discomfort, he finally landed on the cold stone ground and almost fell.
Karan's soles were inevitably stained with some soot, but he didn't pay too much attention to this and immediately looked around.
He was now standing in front of the stone fireplace of a large, dark wizard's shop - but nothing here would be on a Hogwarts shopping list.
On the mat in a glass box next to it, there is a withered human hand, a stack of blood-stained cards and a glass eyeball that is motionless.A ferocious mask looked down on the wall, various human bones were placed on the counter, and rusty, tooth-like instruments hung from the ceiling.
This was definitely not Diagon Alley, as you could tell from the dusty shop windows down the dark, narrow alley.
A fleeting smile appeared on Karan's face.
He knew very well that this was Knockturn Alley full of dangers.
The specific location is No. 13b Knockturn Alley - the Borkin-Bock store.
This is an antique store on the surface, but in fact it quietly handles a lot of gray business, which means it is related to black magic.
But it doesn't matter.
The important thing is: the vanishing cabinet that connects to Hogwarts is here.
With the threat of the Acromantula gone, Karan finally begins to deal with this greater threat.
The method is also very simple.
A student who accidentally entered this place was not only full of curiosity, but also happened to carry a large sum of glittering galleons with him.
So, he bought the disappearing cabinet and placed it in his home.
Vanishing cabinets were not considered dangerous dark magic items, and were even popular, especially during the First Wizarding War: when Death Eaters came to attack, a person could simply appear from an inconspicuous location. In another vanishing cabinet until the danger has passed.
Karan's fingers inadvertently brushed against his side pocket, where there was already a bag full of galleons.It's just that under the effect of the Traceless Stretching Spell, this doesn't look very obvious.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Dear Aragog."
Karan smiled secretly in his heart.
Then he walked out of the fireplace with a panicked expression on his face, looking around confusedly and carefully.
At this time, an old man behind the counter noticed this "uninvited guest."
"Where did you come in from?"
He asked doubtfully, noticing the soot on the soles of Karan's feet.
"Another fool who misused Floo powder." His tone gradually turned impatient.
"Get out of here quickly!" He expelled directly.
But Karan did not leave, but stared at the old man with burning eyes.
His hair was very thick, completely covering his eyes, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.
Karan remembered that this was not what he looked like. His hair was combed back and was still shiny.
The person in front of me is Bock.
