Chapter 8 2 Baskets of Slugs

Mo stood on the side of the street looking up at the signboard of Florin's Cold Drink Shop, pursing his lips.

This shop was the magic shop she most wanted to visit when she came to Diagon Alley, but it was not open.Thick wooden strips were not neatly built into a wall, blocking all curious and malicious sight.

Mo stared at the wall for a long time before lowering his head.

Humph.

Mo turned around blankly and left.

"Meow..." Xiao Hei looked at the store, turned his head and followed quickly.

Clothes shop, owl shop, broomstick shop... Mo walked lightly across the gray brick surface of Diagon Alley and came to a strange entrance.

On the rough and uneven wooden sign, twisted letters marked the name of the place.Knockturn Alley.

Don't pass by that sign.

Xiao Hei suddenly ran a few steps quickly and walked beside Mo.

"Don't worry, the wizard's attack ability is not strong."

"Meow." Xiao Hei glanced at her with green eyes, lowered his head, and insisted on walking one step away from her.

The popularity of Knockturn Alley is higher than that of Diagon Alley, but the people here are also dressed more secretly, and many people have even maintained the Disillusionment or Invisibility spells.Although this kind of cover-up is not much different from not casting a spell to Mo, it is a really useful disguise for each other.

Mo sideways opened the distance between him and a wizard who had cast an invisibility spell coming towards him. Not surprisingly, he immediately felt several prying eyes projected on her.

I don't like this feeling, this burning feeling of being watched.

She called softly, "Xiao Hei."

So the people next to them could clearly see that after a slight meow, the voices of the little girl and the black cat came out step by step, gradually becoming transparent, and finally completely disappeared into the air.

What spell is this?Illusion spell?no.Invisibility spell?not right...

After staring at the place where the girl and the cat disappeared for a while, several black-robed wizards still couldn't recover.

Mo tiptoed deftly over one of the wizards, and turned to grimace at him.

This kind of ability similar to the invisibility spell is Xiao Hei's ability. Unlike the invisibility spell, this ability is not simply hiding, but transferring.Transferring those who can afford it to the subspace that overlaps with the real space will completely disappear for the people in the real space.

With this ability, Mo can also do ghost-like actions such as passing through walls.There was a time when she often used this ability to scare people.

This little bad taste seems to have started to strike again here.

Mo took Xiao Hei into the nearby shops, one after another, and visited them by passing through the walls.

There is such a saying, different angles, different scenery.Although what you see and hear in Knockturn Alley can't be called a scenery, this sentence is still true.

From the outside, the shops in Knockturn Alley are gloomy, and some are still lingering with unknown black air. From the illegal potion shop, there are bursts of stench and incense, and the old signboard is coiled The venomous snake with red patterns spits out bright red snake letters at people who approach it from time to time.

But who knew that behind the half-person-high counter, the owner of the shop with a black mist on his face and a hoarse and terrifying voice was actually wearing a pair of fluffy pink rabbit slippers?

Mo stood behind the shop owner covering his mouth and sniggering, turned around and walked straight through the closet full of medicines.

Five minutes ago, Dumbledore stood at the entrance of Knockturn Alley, looking at the location of the light point on the map, wondering if he was dazzled.But at this moment, he watched the light spots passing through the walls continuously, and deeply hoped that he was really dazzled.

He took off the funny half-moon glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. The old man who had cast the illusion spell on himself lost his usual smile, and finally there was a trace of his age, but on his wrinkled face. Tiredness never belonged to him.

On the map, the light white dots stopped.

Dumbledore stared at the spot of light for a few seconds, put on his glasses, and disapparated with a snap.

This is a dark magic item store, and the largest one in Knockturn Alley, Bojinbok Magic Shop.Dumbledore is no stranger to this store. Although he is the greatest white wizard of this century, he may know or handle the most black magic items in this century.

"Oh, it's really rare, Principal Dumbledore." The man stood behind the counter, with greasy hair hanging on his forehead, revealing a pair of shrewd eyes, and this man's smile seemed to have some kind of greasy, uncomfortable smile Feeling, the darkened space deepens this feeling.

Dumbledore smiled as usual, "Hello, Mr. Burke."

While talking, Dumbledore kept looking at the space. The shop was not too big, and the coiled pillars in the center of the hall that fell from the ceiling to the ground were the only thing that blocked the view, and it obviously couldn't hide a person, no matter who How young people are.

However, he did not see the little girl.

There are still some things in the magic shop that are placed in other rooms, but these rooms must be led by the owner to enter. Since the owner is standing behind the counter, it means that there are no customers here before he comes.

But really not.

Dumbledore was deeply suspicious of this.

"Do you need something here?" The man smiled obsequiously and philistinely, his eyes seemed to reflect the light of gold coins, "But I think it seems difficult to meet Principal Dumbledore's needs... Of course, if you really If necessary, I will definitely give you a discount."

"The things here have always been good, but unfortunately, I'm not here to see the goods today." Dumbledore nodded to the man, and walked to the other side of the hall.

"Mo, Severus will be very annoyed if you sneak out like this." Dumbledore said to the air—in Burk's eyes, it was indeed to the air.

But the next moment, a figure emerged from the empty space.

Bock narrowed his eyes slightly, but the smile on his face didn't change—perhaps deepened a little.

"It's boring at home." Mo looked directly at Dumbledore's deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Her expression made it easy to see that she was unhappy at the moment.

"You came too fast." Mo blamed bluntly, as if Dumbledore was the one who made the mistake, "I still have some places I want to go."

Dumbledore smiled and raised his hand to touch Mo's head, but was avoided.He smiled tolerantly and withdrew his hand.

"You know, it's dangerous to come here alone. Didn't Severus tell you?"

Dumbledore looked at Mo's still bare feet, stroked his beard and said, "It seems that Severus didn't take good care of you. At least in today's matter, he failed his duty."

"I don't need to change my guardian." Mo turned his head and walked in front of a statue that kept bleeding bloody liquid from its eye sockets. He dipped a little bit of the red liquid with his finger, put it under his nose and sniffed it curiously.

It's the smell of blood.

Mo frowned in disgust.

But at the same time, there was a thoughtful look in the eyes of the other two people present.

Bock lazily reminded, "Principal Dumbledore, please restrain your children, otherwise if something happens, I can't bear it."

Dumbledore smiled, his white beard trembling, "Look, my boy, it's not right to go out without permission." Especially when you come to this kind of place.

Mo stared at Dumbledore for a few seconds, then turned away suddenly.

"I'm not your child."

There was a smile on the old face, and then there was a hint of helplessness.Childishly straightforward, but still has a world view that is more thorough than that of an adult, language cannot be suppressed, and force is powerless... Dumbledore found that he had nothing to do with this child.

"Well, no matter what, we should go back." Dumbledore smiled again, and after letting go of the idea of ​​suppressing and controlling the other party, those wise blue eyes had the gentleness and tolerance unique to the old man.

"Severus should wait."

Mo tilted his head and looked at him, a little puzzled.

The old man walked out first, and Mo quickly followed.When passing by the counter, she heard the rich middle-aged man say to her.

"Welcome to Bojinbok Magic Shop again, mystic lady."

"Miss Mo, I don't think you've forgotten what I said at noon, huh?" Snape's voice sounded terrifying while suppressing his anger and anxiety, "Going to Diagon Alley alone, huh? Wand, to Knockturn Alley? I really can't imagine you doing more amazing things."

Mo raised his head and looked at the man who was at least three times his height, his expressionless little face seemed inexplicably innocent.

"I'm sorry, Mr Snape."

Snape stared into those black eyes, which he dared to say lacked even a shred of sincerity.He recalled the conversation between the two at noon, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

Damn kid, actually played language games with him! "I see"?Well, she won't get a second chance.

Snape pointed to the laboratory.

"Go, get rid of those two baskets of slugs! Since Ms. Mo has the ability to freely enter and leave the gathering place of black wizards, simple potion handling can't trouble you, right?"

Dumbledore sat on the sofa, but smiled silently.

Mo gave him a hard look, turned and went to the laboratory.

Dumbledore, who was stared at, touched his nose and blinked innocently.

"Severus, isn't it a student of Hogwarts..."

"Shut up! Since you pushed her to me, don't point fingers here."

Dumbledore looked even more innocent.He watched his Potions professor rush into the laboratory aggressively, and happily took out a pack of Zizi Tang from his arms.

"It seems they get along well."
