The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

"what?"

The height difference between Hagrid and Neo was too big, and Neo's voice was very low. In the noisy tavern, he couldn't hear what the other person was saying at all.

"Nothing, I would say, Quirinas is already drunk."

Neo waved his hand and used magic to make Quirrell sober again, but this lost the original purpose of getting drunk. He called Old Tom and asked him to help take care of the happy drunk, and then turned to look at the sea. grid.

"It's still early. I originally planned to buy something in Diagon Alley. Do you have something to do too?"

Hagrid actually wanted to say "I want to see the dragon egg", but he still remembered that he had a duty. Although he hesitated, he still nodded.

"Yes, I have to buy some saddles for the Thestrals at the ranch. School is about to start. There are a few leather holsters missing for the carriages. There were more new students last year than in previous years, so there will be more carriages."

The increase in new births is due to the fact that the turmoil has passed and the number of new births in the wizarding world has also increased.

"Then go get busy." Neo clapped his hands and stood up with Nagini, but his words changed, "If everything is arranged, we can have dinner here tonight, and then we can have dinner together. Go take a look at my house, Quirinus obviously doesn’t know how to… raise a dragon.”

Hagrid's eyes lit up again.

......

This time Neo didn't go to Ollivander's Wand Shop to restock, he chose Knockturn Alley.

When his low figure stepped on the black stone slabs of Knockturn Alley, many malicious eyes peeked out from the narrow alley. This is the projection of the dark side of the entire wizarding world, and the commercial nature of the street gives it a The stench of money. To be honest, everyone has heard that there are many wanted criminals hiding here. This is not true. What is more true is that most of the dark wizards here are not wanted: take all the factors that may reveal their crimes. Erasing is a basic survival skill here.

The rest are people whose brains have been burned out by black magic, such as the one Neo is facing now.

As he walked towards the largest store in Knockturn Alley, the Bojin Bock Store, a ragged middle-aged wizard suddenly rushed out of a nearby alley. Green Moss's right hand, the wand held in that hand, was also stained with dirt. He shouted to Neo fiercely: "Give me the snake around your neck, child."

Nagini raised her head blankly and glanced at the ugly wizard. She didn't understand why he was targeting her. It was clear that Neo underneath her was more easily bullied.

"Hiss... Extraordinary magical animals are more valuable than living wizards on the black market, not to mention you carry such a strong curse. This guy has a good eye."

Neo stood there and explained to Nagini in snake language.

Nagini didn't care anymore. She had a gut feeling that the dark wizard would not survive tonight.

"Boy, don't play tricks, it's just a snake..."

When he saw Neo mumbling something in a strange language, the wizard became a little impatient.

"She's my companion, idiot."

This sounds a little angry.

But this wizard stopped talking nonsense and planned to wave his wand...

"Dark..."

"The soul leaves the body..."

Neo was holding a wand that didn't fit in his hand, and he came first. The wizard immediately showed a comfortable expression and lowered his arms.Neo's voice of chanting the curse was not concealed, and there was a burst of rustling movement all around.There are not many people who dare to play the Unforgivable Curse on the streets of Knockturn Alley in broad daylight. There are not many people in Knockturn Alley. This little country bumpkin who ran out from nowhere is finished. Many people think so.

"Take me to where you live."

Neo is worried about going to Borgin's store and has little savings.

The wizard turned around and walked towards the alley obediently. Neo followed closely. Nagini seemed to be more awake when it came to the shadow. It kept spitting out letters on Neo's shoulder.

The wizard, who lived in the sewers, pried open a manhole cover and crawled into the filthy entrance.

Neo cast a soaking spell on himself, and Nagini forgot about it and followed him down. There was deep sewage inside, not much mud. It seemed that the wizard had cleaned it up.

Without contact with the water filled with rotten vegetables and rotten leaves, who knows what the residents of Knockturn Alley would pour into the sewers. Neo stepped on a wet path dug out from the edge. The controlled dark wizard was We walked among moss and mice, and there were many traces of wizard activities along the way, but we didn't see anyone until we entered a remote fork.

"This is where I live."

After knocking on an inconspicuous masonry wall, a hole was revealed.

"Transfiguration, Seamless Stretch, Transformation Spell, this technique doesn't look like the British style..." Neo stared at the hole and asked the wizard to remove the trap at the door first.

However, there was no magic trap. What the wizard arranged was more insidious. He drugged all the moss growing underground and mixed the ashes of the dead into corpse poison. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will burn the living flesh and blood.

"A cheap but useful trick, the trick of a German wizard."

Tom also played with the Inferi, and he had a lake of reserves, so Neo looked down upon the wizard's tricks, and had no expectations for the harvest.

Let the wizard move the valuable things out of the house. Unless necessary, he will not step into anything that has cast the Eternal Stretching Charm. If the opponent's poor skills fail, the squeeze of space will not cause trouble. Just for fun.

"Dried bats, rats, dried wizard heads, Muggle hearts...it turned out to be a sacrifice. No wonder Najiri was targeted. Snakes are an excellent material for sacrifice rituals."

Neo looked at the garbage that was pulled out and identified them one by one.Najiri stared at the wizard again, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to relieve him.

"Hiss..."

Neo tells her to wait because he hasn't found any Galleons in the trash yet.

"The money is all in Gringotts, twenty galleons and fifteen siks..."

"Avada Kedavra...."

It's Gringotts again. The finances of the goblins have seriously hindered Neo's gains from killing people and selling goods. Do they really want to go and rob them?

He stuffed the valuable materials on the ground into his pocket, threw a crushing spell at the corpse on the ground, then broke the wand in his hand, and threw the remains into the blur of flesh and blood.

Not counting Tom, this was the first time he had taken a life.

"I don't feel anything, I just feel a loss."

Picking up the wizard's wand and shaking it, it was quite smooth. When the owner of the wand is defeated, his wand will often surrender to the new user. This is the rule of wands, and the Elder Wand is especially bound by this.

"So it's just an ordinary wand. It can't even be bound to a magical weapon."
