[HP] Subversion - Destined

Chapter 3 The Trip to Knockturn Alley

Back at the Dursleys' house, I packed everything I needed, and I couldn't wait to book a room at the Leaky Cauldron.

It took me seven days to try out all the spells I have learned, and I am very satisfied with the result. Although I am not proficient enough, it is at least effective.

After experimenting with the spell, I went to Diagon Alley to purchase a large number of raw materials for making potions, and began to practice potions, which I had been thinking about for a long time.

Potion science is more difficult than I imagined. It took me a week to get familiar with the feel from the most basic operation, and then another week to configure some commonly used potions, such as blood coagulant, blood tonic and so on.It wasn't until the first two days of Hogwarts that I made what I needed - the aging potion.

Yes, I want to see Knockturn Alley before school starts, and this underage image is obviously not suitable for entering and exiting that kind of dark corner.At this moment, the Gryffindor traits in me are brought into full play.

Merlin bless, I am not making inferior products!Taking off the flat glasses that blocked half of my face, I swallowed the entire bottle of aging agent in one gulp.

Having gone through a very miraculous process of change, I was a little unaccustomed to the enlarged vision due to the sudden elevation of my body, so I casually recruited a water mirror to examine my grown-up face.The person in the mirror looked very young, probably in his early twenties. He inherited James Potter's handsome face and Lily Evans Potter's beautiful emerald green eyes, so he was not bad looking.Facing himself in the mirror, he hooked his lips, and the corners of his eyes, which had become long and narrow, slightly raised a slight arc, and the brows were tainted with a little evil.

I pulled my disobedient shoulder-length curly black hair behind my head and tied it up with a thin rope. After making sure that the scar in the middle of my forehead was completely covered by my bangs, I put on a black cloak that became a good fit, and cast an invisibility spell and a spell on myself. With an ignoring spell, he slipped into the long-awaited Knockturn Alley.

Compared with the sunny and clean Diagon Alley, I prefer the smell of Knockturn Alley, the rotten and dark atmosphere that fills every corner of every shop and every pedestrian.In the shadows that are blurred even in the daytime, pairs of greedy and cold beast pupils scan the people hurrying on the road, looking for suitable prey.

Walking through such gazes, I felt the blood in my body boil. 11 years, 11 years of dormancy, I almost forgot the pleasure of walking in the dark back then, the bones and flesh of my whole body were clamoring to be released, I tried my best to suppress my trembling and wanted to use physical violence to solve the excitement of returning , stroking the magic wand in the cuff, reminding myself over and over - this is not your world, you are a wizard, you are underage, you don't have enough strength...

"Bang!" I kicked open the first stop of the day - Bojin-Bok Magic Shop - as soon as I opened the door, I regretted my impulsiveness, after all, I don't have the capital to be arrogant yet.I laughed to myself that I didn't need to worry about the Sorting Hat putting me in Slytherin at all.

Bite the bullet and walk into the shop, besides the wretched-looking shopkeeper with oily hair, there is also a customer who is wrapped in a cloak like me.Feeling the empty, cold eyes under the cloak sweep across my body, only for a moment, I was holding the wand tightly and my body tensed reflexively——damn it!Where is the bastard Gaizi is full of food and insists on killing a stranger indiscriminately!

Resisting the urge to cast a curse at the figure who seemed to be floating out of the shop on a black cloud, I turned pale and pointed out what I wanted to the shopkeeper I remembered as Bo Jin in front of me: "Props that can resist Legilimency or Amplify Brain Defense, as well as disappearing cabinets."

Borgin said nothing as if he didn't hear, and his cloudy eyeballs scanned me from head to toe with interest, as if evaluating a commodity.

I ducked my head to make sure he could see most of me up to the nose, and repeated what I had just said, but obviously it didn't work.

If I recall correctly, he seemed to be a Slytherin advocate.Then... "Bojin," deliberately lowered his voice, hoarsely speaking in a Parseltongue: 【This is your way of hospitality? 】Looking at the sudden stiff expression on his face, I can imagine the horror in his heart.Laughing softly, I continued to hiss and order: 【Take out what I want. ] Bojin took a sudden step back and almost bumped into the cabinet behind him. His face was terrified, and his lips trembled and wriggled for a long time before he managed to utter a word: "You... the great... heir of Slytherin, What do you need?"

I tapped my index finger on the hard counter surface, and the rhythmic "aggressive" sound was very clear in the quiet and stagnant air: "I don't want to repeat it a third time, take out what I want, and I forgive you just now sorry."

"Yes... yes..." Bojin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pointed his wand at the big black cabinet in the corner of the store, and a flying spell came to me, "This... this is the disappearing cabinet...but...that can The props for increasing the brain defense technique have been bought by the customer just now..."

"Oh?" I frowned and looked at the disappearing cabinet in front of me, which was said to lead to the Hogwarts Room of Response, and answered casually.

"Yes... yes, I dare not lie to you! Your Excellency the Great Heir of Slytherin..." Bojin looked terrified, as if I was afraid that I would throw him an Avada.

Strange, does he have to be so afraid of me?Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?I thought of the former Slytherin locket, which he cheated from Voldemort's mother at a low price, and now has Voldemort's soul piece attached to it. "Who is he?" I cast a shrinking spell on the disappearing cabinet and put it in my pocket, I pretended to ask casually.

"This..." Bo Jin looked puzzled.

【explain! 】Parseltongue is more effective.

Bojin blurted out with a trembling all over his body: "Yes...it's Severus Snape, the Potions Professor at Hogwarts, the Head of Slytherin House!"

What?He is Snape? !I was dumbfounded, no wonder, no wonder a look can make me have such a strong sense of crisis, it turns out that he is the very powerful double agent, my future Potions professor, and because he hates my father James Potter On me, Severus Snape who will keep coming to me in the future trying to get me out of school!Oh Merlin!I almost groaned, am I going to spend seven years under such gazes? !

"Your Excellency...?" Seeing that I stayed where I was and didn't respond, Bojin couldn't help but make a sound.

"You don't need to worry about it." I waved my hand impatiently, "I don't want a third person to know what happened today, if you are smart enough." Throwing down a purse, he turned around and left, his footsteps stopped when he reached the door. After a pause, he uttered a sentence in Parseltongue with vicious humor: [There will be a period later! ] Imagining Bojin's terrified expression, he felt at ease again.

After I came out of Borgin-Bock Magic Shop, I reconsidered that Snape can be said to be the best double agent in the magic world. What read in his mind, why did he still buy boosters?Isn't this superfluous... If I can meet him in Knockturn Alley later, I will try to buy him, anyway, I am not short of money.

Making up my mind, I started keeping an eye out for the Potions professor I should be avoiding.Then I purchased some books and raw materials for making potions. During this period, no one troubled me, which made me disappointed for a long time-finding troubles is a specialty of Knockturn Alley!

Carefully check the items I bought, and plan to leave after confirming that they are correct, but unfortunately I didn't get the booster props. I feel uncomfortable when I think that my mind will become a back garden that is free and open to Voldemort, damn it!Who did Harry learn Occlumency from later in the book?Like—Severus Snape? !Oh, Merlin's balls!I'm getting stuck again!

Walking back dejectedly, I suddenly found the noise of "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang" coming from an alley in front of me, and I could see flashing red and green lights from time to time.I suddenly cheered up, fight?Pedestrians on the road were obviously not surprised, and none of them planned to pay attention to this matter.

The blood that had been aroused when I first entered Knockturn Alley boiled again, and I grabbed my wand excitedly, deciding to use this opportunity to vent and practice those spells along the way.Pulling my cloak tighter, I dodged into the alley.
