Like other Knockturn Alley stores, this grocery store named Bojinbok is dimly lit, and the shelves on all four walls are filled with all kinds of strange items, making the whole spacious space a little weird The musty smell is easy to remind people of the tombs of the pharaohs in Egypt.

On a shelf near the door is a shriveled human hand in a glass case, and a label beneath the case reads in black handwriting: "Put a candle in that hand, for the light of the hand only A great help to thieves and muggers." There is also a beautiful opal necklace card that reads: "WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH!--Cursed--nineteen Muggles have so far been Own it and die."

And all kinds of human bones are strung together and hung on the rusty, long and sharp weird instruments from the ceiling.

This gloomy shop exudes a feeling of depression and terror everywhere, but it does not affect the person who is standing in front of the counter and looking around casually, covered from head to toe by a black cloak.

Under the black hat was a fair and handsome face with a little greenness, quiet and cold.Although he had been standing here alone for a while, he straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and patiently waited for the innkeeper, Caractacus Bork, to come out of the back room.

The new wizard who came in looked at him with interest. This was a familiar face - he couldn't see the whole face clearly, but the overall temperament of the person couldn't deceive anyone.Seeing that he didn't seem to be interested in the items in the store at all, he probably took a fancy to some good products at the bottom of the old Boke's box.Hey, maybe I can have a good chat with this new face later.

This person who was considered a stranger was naturally Severus.Today he came to Diagon Alley to buy the necessary supplies for the sixth grade, and then dropped by Knockturn Alley, which he had only visited once with Voldemort, to see if there was anything special.Who told the Minister of Magic to be too busy.

The old Mr. Bock came out of the back room stooping silently, holding a black box in his hand, and repeatedly combed the greasy hair hanging on his face with his free hand.

"Look, this is it." Old Bok said in a voice greasy than his hair.

Severus lowered his eyes and looked carefully at the seemingly ancient objects in the box.According to Old Bok, it was the tooth of a magical creature, with a dark yellow texture. If you look carefully, you can see that there are dark red bloodshots on it that have deeply melted into it.The teeth, about half a foot long, were carved into the shape of a dagger handle by a rough carver. The dagger itself is just ordinary black iron, which is not very sharp due to its age.

"How about it? 300 Galleons."

Severus twitched a smirk:

"Mr. Bork, I think we all have the same sincerity to make this deal. 200 Gold Galleons is more suitable, isn't it?"

Old Bok raised his eyelids, and looked at the young man in front of him with sharp, unfathomable eyes.Although this was only the second time I saw him, the old Bok knew who he was, and even some special potions in his shop were made by this young wizard.After thinking for a while, Old Bock closed the lid of the black wooden box and handed it to Severus, "Deal."

Severus' expression didn't change much, his black eyes were still as deep as the calm sea at night.After handing a money bag containing 200 Galleons to Old Bock, the boy in a black cloak turned and left the shop.But his heart was beating a little faster than usual because of joy.

As soon as the old Bok opened the box, he felt the vaguely familiar magic fluctuations inside.It was a surviving part of a powerful magical creature from ancient times, and it resonated with the blood of the ancient druid in his body.He must not let this precious magical item continue to gather dust in Borginbork's warehouse.Maybe, he can find the correct way to use it.

Turning a narrow alley, Severus stopped abruptly, flashing to the right.A green light brushed his left side forward and hit the broken wall, and a brick of the wall shattered.

The attacking wizard was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this very young-looking wizard could be so sharp, and just so happen to be able to dodge his Avada Kedavra.Although he didn't see what the old Bok sold to the young wizard just now, he has lived in Knockturn Alley longer than he has learned magic. It is impossible for him not to judge what the young wizard bought. Things are very valuable.Originally thought that this was just an inexperienced young master who came out to take risks behind his parents' backs, but it turned out that he was careless as soon as he took the shot.

Severus had already noticed that someone was following him, but in a narrow alley like Knockturn Alley, it was very likely that they were just pedestrians who happened to be walking in the same direction.So he didn't start to fight back until the opponent actually made a move.After dodging the Avada Kedavra Curse, Severus quickly turned around, raised his hand at the wizard, and the invisible air prison directly enveloped him.The gloomy and stern middle-aged wizard quickly showed a terrified expression and began to struggle. After a while, the wizard, who lost his breathing space, turned his face blue and purple, his eyes protruding outwards, his mouth was wide open, and his tongue was twitching. Stretched out.

Frowning, Severus waved his hand again, the effect of space confinement was lifted, and the middle-aged wizard collapsed limply on the ground.

Although he doesn't want to hurt people easily, it's still impossible for Severus to have any feelings for such a Knockturn Alley robber who tried to cast the Avada Kedavra curse on him from behind.

Compassionate.Slytherin does not allow the hidden danger to continue to exist around him.

In the magic material shop in Knockturn Alley, Severus recalled the dying appearance of the man just now, and looked carefully at some relatively rare potion ingredients.The leaf-shaped buckle hidden under the cloak was slightly heated at this time.Putting an Ignore Charm on himself, Severus walked to the corner outside the store, and lightly pressed his hand on the buckle, injecting a little magic power. Voldemort's voice came from inside.

"Sev, where is it? Listen to me, come back to Prince Castle now, I'll be waiting for you."

Some urgent voices made Severus' heartbeat pause.Recently, Edmund's health has been getting worse and worse, and even drinking special nutritional medicines every day can't improve his condition.Both Severus and Voldemort knew in their hearts that Emond, who was nearly a hundred years old, was considered to have a long lifespan among ordinary wizards. In addition, he was immersed in the research of potions all year round, the toxins hidden in his body and the irregular work and rest for many years , I'm afraid it's already...

Severus, who became more and more flustered as he thought about it, pinched a button on his chest - it was the door key to Prince Castle - and the boy in the black cloak quickly disappeared in place.

Before he recovered from the pain of being pulled and pushed, Severus hurried towards Edmond's bedroom.

Outside the simple and unsophisticated bedroom, the house elves Link and Taran stood at the door holding their pointed ears, the tears in their big eyes kept pouring out, the two little guys bit their mouths and tried to restrain themselves Don't cry - oh, they can't disturb the old master!

Severus' heart sank to the bottom, his hands clenched subconsciously, and deep tooth marks were printed on his lower lip.

"Sev..." Pushing open the door and seeing Severus standing silently at the door, Voldemort sighed and took the boy into his arms, "It's not too late...you can see Edmond for the last time one side."

Severus glanced up at him before rushing into the room.Emond, whose face had turned pale, breathed weakly, lying quietly on the dark green bed.Sensing Severus' arrival, the old man strained his eyelids and looked at his proud grandson with nostalgia, a barely visible smile appeared on his usually rigid and gloomy face, "Good boy... take good care of him... Don't be sad..."

Those were the last words of old Edmond Prince.

Severus felt that his eyes were so sore that he couldn't stop the tears from falling, and gradually his vision was blocked by more and more tears.His only relative in this world who loved him wholeheartedly also left him...

In the fourth grade, Tobia finally died unexpectedly after a drunken riot

.Irene's mother followed Tobia without leaving any words for him.Severus, who was told to go home to attend the funeral of his parents, only felt the numbness of his heart, and his eyes were so dry that he couldn't even cry.He thought that he had inherited his parents' indifference towards his relatives, but he didn't expect... Facing Edmund's departure, he realized how much he cared about the existence of his relatives...

Together with the pain and grievance of losing his mother, Severus poured it out uncontrollably when Edmond left.

Voldemort embraced the boy who stood erect and weeping silently by the bed, and stroked his black hair lightly, without saying a word.

He didn't have any feelings of relatives, he only had anger towards his biological father and contempt for his biological mother.But he could understand how sad Severus was at the moment.Edmund is also one of his most important friends, from the beginning of friendship with ulterior motives to the congenial friendship without any impurities of interests.After finding Severus, the two had the same goal.

The two stood quietly in the room, watching Edmond leave completely.Even when Taran the house-elf walked into the room, they didn't pay attention.

Taran carefully glanced at Edmond's body, then sobbed and said to Severus: "Little master, Taran didn't mean to disturb you! The portrait of the old master is in the basement. He has something to think about." Tell the little master."

Severus nodded, indicating that he understood.When Emond passed away, he would naturally leave a portrait... However, after all, it is still very different from the real existence. He will never see the real Emond.

"Go first, Edmond probably has something important to leave for you. Here... just let me arrange it." Voldemort kissed Severus' forehead lightly and wiped it off for him. tears.Severus hummed in a low voice, he understood that there were still many things to do, and there was no way to change anything by being sad and depressed.

Taking one last look at his bereaved relative, Severus followed Taran towards the family portrait room in the basement.
