Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"Werewolf?"

Ryan recognized the other party's identity at a glance - a werewolf, and the kind of vicious wolf that did not suppress its wildness.

And after his words.

"Caractacus Burke is too cunning—he wants to keep the reward for himself?"

"Wait...that doesn't look like Harry Potter?"

"It's Ryan Elias! I recognize him!"

A crowd gradually gathered in front of the Borgin and Burke shop.

Many of the dark wizards recognized Ryan's identity.

"I heard he's very powerful, hailed as the next Dumbledore... Not long ago, the Ministry of Magic seemed to..."

So, some people who had heard the rumors began to retreat.

But obviously.

But more dark wizards don't think so.

"Come on—he's just a little wizard. How powerful can he be?"

"That's right! With so many of us, even if it's Dumbledore... ahem - there's no need to be afraid of him!"

"He's the highest bounty on the black market, even higher than Dumbledore's!"

As a result, the atmosphere outside the store became increasingly tense.

Money is a powerful thing - especially for those dark wizards who walk on the edge of the wizarding world.

But upon seeing this scene, Karaktacus Bock cursed in a low voice: "Idiot."

Obviously, he wasn't scolding Ryan.

At the same time, Ryan looked at the group of dark wizards and smiled kindly.

"Mr. Burke, let's talk about what happened just now later."

"I think you don't mind me dealing with these 'customers' first. I see the things in your store are quite valuable, aren't they?"

"..."

So Caractacus Boke was speechless for a long time.

He could only watch as Ryan dangerously and slowly took out his wand from his sleeve.

He did not retreat, but greeted the dark wizards with a smile.

There was even some excitement in his expression.

"I'm ashamed to say this - it's been ages since I've been around so many Dark wizards... Mr. Scamander was there last time at the Department of Mysteries, so I didn't enjoy it too much."

"Now is the perfect time—gentlemen... who will go first?"

So, half an hour later.

Inside Diagon Alley.

"Harry—oh! I'm so glad to see you're okay... You have no idea how worried I was about you."

Harry Potter was currently being held in the arms of Mrs. Weasley.

The lady's voice was almost tearful, and the deep concern in it made Harry feel embarrassed to speak even though he felt his spine was about to break.

"Harry, where have you been?"

At this moment, Mr. Arthur Weasley asked doubtfully.

Beside him, Charlie, Percy, the twins and Ginny, who had come with him to look for someone, were also very confused.

"Uh, I was teleported to the wrong place before, to Knockturn Alley..."

Harry struggled to speak.

"Knockturn Alley?!"

When he said this, Mrs. Weasley let out a cry of surprise and hugged him tighter.

"Knockturn Alley? How did you get out?"

"Uh... I noticed the atmosphere there was weird, so I just wandered around randomly, and finally... well, I was lucky and got out directly."

Harry said so.

But he was obviously not very good at lying, so his expression was obviously a little weird - his eyes looked left and right and shook violently.

But obviously, since Mrs. Weasley was hugging him at the moment and Harry's glasses were broken, no one noticed Harry's attitude.

Arthur Weasley was also frightened after hearing this.

"It's okay, it's okay - Knockturn Alley is very dangerous, there are many dark wizards and fugitives active in it..."

He said so.

When Harry heard the word 'fugitive', his expression became even weirder.

"I'm fine...By the way, where's Ryan!"

He quickly changed the subject.

After hearing this, the twins said, "Ryan stayed at the Burrow before. He said that maybe there was a way to find you... Now that you are safe, I think he will come to join us soon."

They weren't worried about Ryan at all.

"Yeah yeah..."

Mr. Arthur was still afraid at this moment: "I told you that the Ministry of Magic should take charge of Knockturn Alley, but no one listened to my advice..."

"Oh, that's probably because you are so insignificant and your suggestion has no practical value, Weasley."

And just as he was speaking this.

He heard a sarcastic voice behind him, which was full of arrogance.

Then the Weasleys and Harry turned their heads.

Then they saw Draco Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy, father and son.

And besides them.

At this moment, there were two other figures following them.

One of them was a house-elf.

It huddled behind the Malfoys, following them closely, wearing a tattered piece of clothing - if the rag could be called a piece of clothing.

The other was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, wearing the same luxurious black wizard robe as Malfoy.

"Lucius, don't be so mean."

At this moment, he was saying this with a sneer.

"Minister Fudge is a very humane leader. I believe he will still find time to meet with some minor figures... such as the annual Ministry of Magic Conference, right?"

When they saw the Malfoy father and son, the Weasleys showed some disgust and hostility.

When she saw this man, Mrs. Weasley almost wanted to draw her wand, but was stopped by Arthur who gently raised his hand.

"Shut up, Anos Dokhorov!"

Mr. Weasley, who is usually gentle and even a little funny, has an unprecedentedly cold expression.

To be more precise - his expression at this moment almost seemed violent!

"You damned scoundrel, you ugly bastard—"

He drew his wand and pointed it at the man. "Now! Right now! Get out of here! Get out of my sight of my wife and children!"

Chapter 160 When darkness fears light, they become shadows!

Harry was understandably confused at this point.

It wasn't just him, the same was true for several other Weasleys present.

Just as mentioned before.

Their father, Arthur Weasley, was a very gentle man.

Of course, he would get angry when his children made mistakes, but more often he would teach them lessons calmly and even humorously.

So they had almost never seen their fathers show such obvious, even undisguised hostility.

The other party's name also surprised them a little.

Anos Dokhorov.

They all remembered the name 'Dohorov', of course—McCall Dohorov had been quite famous during the previous school year.

"Oh, Weasley."

And at this moment, seeing Arthur's reaction.

Arnos Dohorov's already gloomy expression became even gloomier. "I thought that as a pure-blood wizard, you would be more educated. Who do you think you are talking to?"

"with who?"

Arthur Weasley sneered, "How dare you appear before me, with a villain who escaped justice by blaming all his crimes on his brother?!"

In Diagon Alley, where people come and go frequently, the tense attitude between the two has obviously attracted the attention of others.

Many people have looked over at this moment.

But after seeing that both sides seemed to be about to cast spells at any time, more people immediately chose to stay away.

This directly led to the appearance of a blank area around Diagon Alley.

The only exception is...

"Harry? Ron?"

At this moment, a cry of surprise was heard, interrupting the atmosphere that seemed like a curse might break out at any moment.

Harry and Ron turned and saw Hermione Granger running towards them.
