MTL - Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard-Chapter 741 boginbok
Chapter 741 Borgin-Bock
"What did you say?"
Fred was so excited that he almost jumped up. He now even doubted whether Kyle's head had been stepped on by the moon-crazy beast.
“How could you...for such an important thing, wait a minute.” Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something. "You're not trying to ambush Death Eaters in the castle."
“He is indeed my friend, he is smart enough.” Kyle grinned, “Yes, that’s what I thought.
"Think about it. The ambitious Death Eaters took Malfoy's advice and climbed through the vanishing cabinet to Hogwarts. When they looked up, they saw seven or eight professors holding wands waiting for them. …”
“That scene must be wonderful!” At some point, Fred’s face had already turned red, and he was extremely excited.
“Great, this plan is great!” George gasped, as if he had seen Death Eaters queuing up to send warmth.
In excitement, they immediately got together and began to discuss how to set up a trap in Hogwarts.
Tie the disappearing cabinet to the broomstick and send it to high altitude...
Put the disappearing cabinet into the sewer pipe...
Looking at the two people who were gradually losing their temper, Kyle didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. He could only whisper: "Are you thinking too much?"
I see... now everything makes sense.
“But she never seemed to notice it.”
“Another disappearing cabinet, it won’t be in Knockturn Alley.”
Kyle sat nearby and jotted down their thoughts with a shorthand quill.
"Of course the cabinet is still there." Kyle said, "It's unlikely that Malfoy is running around with the cabinet. If it's still there, we only need to keep an eye on Knockturn Alley to know the specifics of their actions. time."
"What's the meaning?"
"Yes, we have all graduated, but we still don't have enough trust." Fred also looked very unhappy, "Obviously Bill and Charlie can participate in the meeting, but we can't and can only steal outside. listen!"
“Let’s go to Diagon Alley now!” Fred stood up and started to walk out.
"It doesn't matter when you go, it doesn't matter if you go earlier or later. I just want to confirm this time."
"Dad, they must know!" George suddenly said, "Do you remember, the last time they discussed things, Alastor suddenly mentioned the 'passage', and Tonks and Sirius were almost living in Hogsmeade. ”
“The reason we didn’t resign was because we wanted to help dad share some of the burden.”
“Dad, do they know about this?”
“I have to do the same repetitive things every day, write reports, and waste time chasing down small traders...”
"What if Malfoy takes the cabinet away?" Fred asked: "It's not difficult. A chest with a traceless stretching charm can do it."
“That is, do you want to take over Charlie’s job and take charge of the security work at No. 12 Grimmauld Place?”
"No." Fred and George shook their heads at the same time. Let them stay in the same place for a day, it would be better to just give them a killing curse.
“They know everything, but they just don’t tell us!” George became angrier as he spoke. “They always do this, treating us like children like Ginny.”
“By the way, let mom see that we can actually help.”
Another Vanishing Cabinet was in Knockturn Alley, and Malfoy knew he had to go there if he wanted to complete his plan.
"You should know." Kyle thought for a moment, "I have already discussed it with Professor Dumbledore, and he has no reason not to tell other members of the Order of the Phoenix."
“There’s no need to worry.” Kyle waved his hand, signaling for them to be calm.
“Or go to Hogsmeade?”
“But we also want to help.” Fred took a deep breath, “Kyle, do you know why we haven’t resigned yet?”
“There’s only one Hogwarts,” Kyle said.
"That's it." Kyle said, "Since you don't want to do anything, why are you complaining so much? Mrs. Weasley has already taken good care of you."
But after calming down, they immediately remembered another thing Kyle had just said.
…
“That was true for the first two months,” Fred said, “but then it started to get boring.”
The two shook their heads again, don’t they mean the same thing? It's just that Hogsmeade is a little bigger.
Dig a swamp the size of a Quidditch pitch in front of the Vanishing Cabinet.
“Confirm what?”
Kyle could not have asked them to pay attention to the situation between Knockturn Alley and Malfoy for no reason. When the two things are combined, the truth is already obvious.
“With that little salary, I can earn it in two days in the store...”
"Don't say that." Kyle quickly comforted: "This is also for your safety."
"Think it would be interesting to work at the Ministry of Magic?" Kyle said.
It wasn’t until ten minutes later that Fred and George gradually calmed down.
This sentence was like a basin of cold water, instantly dousing their enthusiasm.
"That's not right." George paused suddenly, then turned around and asked: "Kyle, two disappearing cabinets are needed to be effective. You just said you found one, but the other one is also in Hogwarts. ?"
“Then it’s just a little troublesome to make everyone ready at any time.” Kyle said.
The bad ideas of the two of them kept coming up like a fountain.
Fred and George looked at each other. The aggrieved and dissatisfied atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and they were even a little embarrassed.
"How about I go talk to her and let you take over Tonks and Sirius." Kyle suggested: "Or I can go directly to Dumbledore and talk to her."
"Forget it…"
“There’s no need…”
“We were just joking, why did you take it seriously?”
…
Ten minutes later, Ron came knocking on the door and asked them to go have lunch.
“What are you talking about inside?” Ron asked, looking at the three of them suspiciously.
"nothing."
“None of your business,” Fred said. “Don’t mind your own business.”
“You’d better think about how to take care of that girl.”
“What’s your name...Lavender?”
“What a pity. My eyesight is not good at such a young age, but I actually think you...are handsome?”
“You peeked at my letter!” Ron’s face suddenly turned red.
"Don't get me wrong, we don't have this habit." George said seriously, "It was you who expressed your belief when you were talking in your sleep, and your voice was very loud."
“If you don’t believe it, you can ask Harry.”
"I guess you won't memorize all that letter."
Then they began to recite passionately.
“Luo Luo, why is this holiday so long...”
)
Fred and George seemed to have some talent. As soon as they spoke, Kyle felt excited all over.
And Ron, blushing so red that he almost smoked, shouted: "That's enough, you two, shut up!"
He threw the things at hand towards the two of them desperately, a candy, a universal tool, two Sickles...all in Ron's pocket.
But Fred just waved his wand lazily and turned those things into paper airplanes.
Oh, except for Si Ke, he and George are one each, which is just right.
“That’s all my pocket money!” Ron shouted in frustration?
“You threw it here yourself.”
“We thought you didn’t want it.”
"It's all your fault!" Ron said angrily, "Just wait until I turn seventeen..."
"I believe you can suppress us with magic that no one has thought of so far." Fred waved his hand and said, "Let's go, George, Kyle."
They pushed past Ron and came to the restaurant.
Lunch was beef stew and mashed potatoes, and Mrs. Weasley kept adding more food to Connor, as if she was afraid she wouldn't have enough.
"You can go back to school with Harry and the others in the afternoon, at five o'clock." After lunch, Mrs. Weasley said, "Before that, you can chat for a while or play in the house for a while."
"No." Kyle shook his head and said, "We have to buy something in Diagon Alley."
"Diagon Alley?" Mrs. Weasley frowned, "But everyone else is busy now, and I can't let you go there alone. It's too dangerous..."
“It doesn’t matter, let’s go.” Fred stood up immediately and said:
“It just so happens that we have to go to the store for something, so we can send them there.”
"You?" Mrs. Weasley was still a little worried, but there seemed to be no more suitable candidate now.
"Well, how are you going to get there, Disapparate?" "No, take a carriage." Kyle said
…
"I met Mr. Malfoy, just ten days ago." Kreacher said at the door of Weasley's Joke Shop.
“Are you sure it’s him?” Kyle asked.
"Kreacher can see clearly, Master Kyle," said the elf. "That is Mr. Malfoy."
"now it's right."
Several people came outside the store.
"Malfoy does know that another disappearing cabinet is here." Fred said.
“I have to go to Knockturn Alley and make sure the stuff is still there,” Kyle said.
“No, that’s too dangerous.” George frowned and said, “Mom asked us to protect you, so we have to go together.”
"You guys are interested in talking about protection." Kyle directly exposed their excuses.
“Also, have you ever seen anyone go shopping in a dark magic item shop in a group? It’s not dangerous for me to go alone.”
Kyle glanced at Connor, who was still in the store, and then turned his clothes into a large hooded cloak. Regardless of Fred and George's stops, he ducked to the entrance of Knockturn Alley.
…
Diagon Alley is much deserted now, let alone here. There is no one on the street, and all the stalls selling poisons and various strange objects that were everywhere before have disappeared and must have gone to other places.
After all, in this dangerous and suspicious period, no one would come here to buy any dark magic artifacts at the risk of being targeted by Aurors.
Only a man in ragged clothes was sitting not far from the entrance, also wearing a hood, so that no one could see his appearance clearly.
When Kyle walked over, he vaguely smelled a faint smell of blood, and his intuition told him that this person was dangerous.
It is definitely not possible to turn around and go back at this time, as it would be self-inflicted. Kyle could only pretend to be calm and continue walking forward while holding the wand tightly in his sleeve.
While passing by that person, the other person raised his head, revealing a pair of strange brown eyes, and at the same time, there was a slight sound of swallowing saliva.
But fortunately, he didn't seem to mean to cause trouble. He just took a look and lowered his head again.
However, Kyle did not take it lightly. He continued to hold the wand and walked forward cautiously until he arrived at the door of the largest store in the middle of the street.
Bojin-Boker's Black Magic Shop, there is also no customer here. The owner, Bojin, is sitting behind the counter, dozing out of boredom.
Kyle adjusted the hood on his head and made sure it could cover his face before walking in.
The bell on the store door rang, waking the person behind the counter.
“Welcome, guest,” Borgin said, his voice unenthusiastic.
Kyle didn’t say anything, just walked through a cupboard full of skeletons and old bottles, and kicked a box aside that was blocking the way.
“I must remind you, sir,” Borgin said coldly, “there is a price to pay for touching things here.”
"Price?" Kyle also sneered and said in a rough voice: "You must be referring to the scare box just now...the transformation curse, a child's trick of playing house."
“Oh?” There was finally something different in Bo Jin’s voice. "Please forgive my presumption, guest, is there anything I can do for you?"
Kyle didn’t speak any more and just walked around the store, finally stopping on a withered hand.
"how much is this."
“Two thousand galleons,” Borgin said.
"Tsk, the Hand of Glory is not worth the price." Kyle said lightly, "I'd better go look elsewhere."
“With all due respect, you can’t get it anywhere else.”
Bo Jin was still sitting calmly behind the counter, but his tone of voice was much faster, "You should also know the current situation. Not many people dare to sell such good things. I took a big risk, so naturally I have to Increase the price appropriately.”
Kyle paused for a moment, as if he acquiesced, and continued to wander around the store, looking at the things displayed on the shelves with disgust.
“The boiling blood curse only works on Muggles, rubbish.”
“Corrosive poison…garbage within garbage…”
“Look at this, a discarded product from a hundred years ago...Is this some sort of junkyard?”
Bo Jin's face became increasingly ugly, but he couldn't find a reason to get angry, because the person in front of him didn't say anything wrong, but his tone was too harsh.
“This guest, if you are here to cause trouble, I...”
“Oh, this is pretty good.” At this time, Kyle stopped, pointed to a corner next to the counter and asked, “How much does that cost.”
"The Cursed Tapestry..." Borgin said coldly, "You can take it with you for only one hundred and fifty galleons."
"No, no, no, I don't want this kind of stuff." Kyle shook his head, "I'm talking about what's under the tapestry."
It was a cabinet, covered tightly by a tapestry, with only one corner exposed, as if it had been deliberately hidden.
“What?” Bo Jin narrowed his eyes.
But at this time, Kyle moved his fingers, and the tapestry flew to the side, revealing what was underneath.
It is indeed a disappearing cabinet, and both the shape and the patterns on the cabinet are exactly the same as the one at Hogwarts.
"Hey, I didn't expect to see such a good thing." Kyle said, "How much does it cost? I want it."
“Five thousand galleons.” Bojin Lion opened his mouth and said.
If there are two disappearing cabinets, the price is quite reasonable, but if there is only one, it is a bit high.
Bo Jin’s original intention was to let the man in front of him retreat in spite of the difficulties, but he never expected that... things seemed to be a little wrong with what he thought.
"I want it." Without thinking, Kyle took out a box, opened it and put it on the counter.
This was prepared in advance by Kyle and the Weasley brothers, and it was full of gold galleons.
It’s like adding an oil lamp to the shop.
Bo Jin's entire body was instantly immersed in the mesmerizing golden light, and the initial wariness in his heart dissipated almost instantly.
It wasn't until Kyle stepped forward and opened the disappearing cabinet that he finally came back to his senses.
"Wait a minute, guest." Borgin forced his eyes away from the galleons. "You can't take it away."
"What?" Kyle knocked in the cabinet, seeming to be checking something, "Didn't I give you enough money?"
"Of course not." Bojin couldn't help but glance at Garen again, his throat rolled.
“That’s okay.” Kyle said, “It’s mine now, why can’t I take it away.
“It’s just too big and it’s a bit inconvenient to hold.” After saying that, Kyle took out his wand and pointed it at the disappearing cabinet.
“Oh, wait a minute!” Borgin jumped in front of Kyle.
It’s really hard to believe that he still has such agility.
"What do you mean?" Kyle's voice was a little displeased, "Maybe you want to increase the money temporarily."
“Of course not, this guest, Borgin-Bock has the best reputation in Knockturn Alley, it’s this vanishing cabinet, it, it’s bad.”
"bad?"
"Yeah." Bo Jin slapped the cabinet hard, "How about when I fix it, the guests can come and get it."
"how long it takes."
“Half a year... no, three months, three months is enough.”
“It takes too long...” Kyle shook his head, “Forget it, I can fix it myself.”
After saying that, Kyle stretched out his hand again.
"No, guest." Borgin said again: "We can't sell broken things. That's the rule."
“Really not selling it?” Kyle closed the box containing Galleons with a snap.
To be honest, for a moment, Bo Jin was moved. It was five thousand galleons, and it could be said to be the largest order in ten years.
But when he thought that this cabinet was related to someone's plan, he calmed down again.
"Not for sale!" Borgin said firmly: "Of course, in order to compensate the guests for waiting, I am willing to give a great discount. You only need to pay three thousand galleons. How about it."
Bo Jin’s abacus is very loud. Compared with the person he offended, the person in front of him is insignificant.
No matter what, let's get the money first. As for three months later... if the cabinet is snatched away by Death Eaters, what does it have to do with him.
Anyway, if you enter the Galleons of Borgin-Bock, you will not be able to get them back.
He couldn't believe that someone wouldn't be tempted by the offer of two thousand galleons.
"Only three thousand galleons? It's too cheap." Kyle said softly: "But..."
“It’s cheap but not good, I don’t want it anymore.”
Bojin didn't even react before Kyle had already picked up the box and walked out of the store.
By the time he came to his senses and chased him out, Kyle had already disappeared on the street, and not even a single figure could be found.
