No, are we in such a hurry to leave? Can't we let him practice a few times and call the right place? Hermione was a little helpless.
It smells good on feet, why don’t you talk about Luckin Coffee, why don’t you talk about athlete’s foot…
"Let's go quickly and find Harry's location first. Even if we were teleported to the wrong location, he shouldn't be far away." Jasmine said immediately.
Several people set off one after another.
Although Hermione was a little nervous, she successfully reached her destination after a few seconds.
By the way, does this method have some security issues?
Hermione thought to herself as she watched people coming out of the fireplace one after another.
The entire Floo network doesn't even have a gate, so if you just say you're at someone else's house, wouldn't you be able to get in at will?
She remembered that Harry seemed to rush directly into Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley as if he was in an empty place.
No matter what, let's get him out first.
Hermione didn't wait for the Weasleys and headed straight for Knockturn Alley.
……
Knockturn Alley.
As a neighbor of Diagon Alley, this place is a mixed bag of people.
If Diagon Alley is a pedestrian-only commercial district, then Knockturn Alley is the wizarding black market, almost full of dark magic shops.
The most famous magic shop is Borgin and Burke's.
Just after walking a short distance, Hermione felt countless eyes focused on her.
There is peeping, malice, coveting... and the list goes on.
Level 3 Legilimency allowed her to roughly discern the emotions reflected in the eyes.
"Humph!"
Hermione waved her wand, and suddenly, several flames appeared out of thin air, transforming into giant snakes with bared fangs and claws that surrounded them.
Although it was just a simulated fierce fire, it was enough to make people feel its ferocious side.
With a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, Hermione glanced at the people around her.
This little girl is not easy to mess with... Feeling the cold murderous intent, the strange-looking wizards around lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.
After putting away the fire, Hermione just approached Borgin and Burke's when she saw two figures walking out from afar.
The adult had long straight white hair, eyes as gloomy as an eagle, and a pale face.
Lucius Malfoy.
The child Hermione also knew, Draco Malfoy.
Hermione's eyes moved slightly, and after the two left, she walked directly into the store.
"boss."
Arriving at the counter, Hermione looked at Borgin and Burke, who had a cunning look on his face, and asked directly:
"Did Lucius Malfoy give you something just now?"
Borgin and Burke thought Hermione was also here to sell something, but he didn't expect her to ask this. His expression immediately turned gloomy and he said in a cold voice:
"This is a secret between me and my customers. It's none of your business. If you don't want to buy anything, leave quickly."
Lucius did come to sell something just now, but they were not normal items, but dark magic items.
"Oh?"
Hermione leaned forward and whispered:
"Do you need me to remind you that the Ministry of Magic prohibits the private circulation of dark magic items. Once discovered... hehe."
Chapter 62 The gangster eats the gangster
How did she know!
Borgin and Burke were startled at first, then frowned slightly.
"My shop is a normal magic business. All these exhibits have been reported to the Ministry of Magic. Apart from that, there are no dark magic items."
Hermione nodded:
"In that case, we have nothing to say. Arthur Weasley from the Ministry of Magic is outside now. He will come to search directly. If no dark magic items are found, you can complain as you like. If there are any..."
"I don't need to tell you how much money you're going to lose this time, do I?"
Borgin and Burke looked a little unhappy.
Although the Ministry of Magic prohibits the spread of dark magic items, it is difficult to completely prevent their circulation. As long as the stolen goods are not discovered and sold in time, nothing will happen.
But once caught, the punishment is quite severe.
Enough to make him lose a year’s turnover!
He had heard of Arthur Weasley, who was recently in charge of confiscating dark magic items from various households, especially the Malfoy family, which he had visited several times.
Now he had no time to sell the stolen goods, and Arthur Weasley was right next to him.
Once the items of the transaction are discovered, not only will he be fined, but Lucius will also be unable to escape. The latter will definitely cause trouble for him, and the reputation of his store will be ruined. Who will dare to come to his store to trade in the future?
"What do you want?"
Borgin and Burke looked at him unkindly.
"Give me everything you just had."
Hermione held out her hand.
"You are blackmailing!"
Borgin and Burke were furious.
"What blackmail? I am voluntarily handing over the contraband on your behalf. This is called confiscation of illegal gains. Uncle Arthur and I have a good relationship. Since you have voluntarily surrendered yourself, the Ministry of Magic will not fine you."
Hermione said calmly, "This is called connections, do you understand? With me as the middleman, you will have someone to protect you in the future. How much trouble will you have at the Ministry of Magic?"
"Businessmen must have a long-term vision..."
Hermione instructed, pointing her finger upwards.
"There's someone on my forehead!"
Borgin and Burke's eyes twitched madly.
He didn't believe a word of the girl's nonsense.
What connections? Anyone who believes them is an idiot.
This is clearly a case of black robbing black, okay!
But she was right about one thing. If the girl in front of him really told on them, the loss would be more than just a box of goods...
Should I take her away now... Borgin and Burke's mind raced, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Noticing his murderous intent, Hermione was not at all panicked. She leaned calmly against the wall with a leisurely look on her face.
"At least twenty people saw me enter your shop just now. I'm still a second-year student at Hogwarts. Do you think if I disappear in this place, will the Ministry of Magic come to investigate first, or will Dumbledore come to you first?"
Hearing the words Dumbledore, Borgin and Burke shuddered.
Only then did he notice that the little girl in front of him was indeed wearing the Hogwarts uniform, and judging by the logo, she was a Gryffindor.
and many more……
Seeing Hermione looking fearless and twirling her wand leisurely, Borgin and Burke suddenly remembered something.
Hogwarts, second year, Gryffindor, girl, bold...
"You're Hermione Granger?!"
"Uh..." Hermione blinked, "You know me?"
Oops, I've been recognized.
It's not likely that after I steal his goods, he will find me and report me to Hogwarts.
Wrong decision, should have worn a mask...
Borgin and Burke nodded. "Everyone knows you now. You are almost as famous as Harry Potter."
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Since it's you, I'll give you this little something as a gift. Just to make us acquainted. Remember to patronize this store more often in the future. I'll take anything you have."
Seeing Borgin's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees, Hermione was also a little confused.
One minute later.
Looking at Hermione's leaving back, Borgin and Burke sighed softly.
Others only know that Hermione is a magical genius and defeated Quirrell, but he, who has inside information, knows that Hermione defeated more than one Quirrell.
But it was Quirrell who was possessed by a mysterious man!
There is a huge difference between the two.
Although Voldemort has disappeared for more than ten years, everyone knows how terrifying the Dark Lord is.
Even if the opponent is already a remnant soul and is in far worse condition than before, it is not something that an ordinary wizard can mess with.
And Hermione defeated the opponent so easily in a one-on-one fight. What kind of monster could do such a thing?
You call this a first grader?
Borgin and Burke were certain that Hermione was absolutely a ruthless person who had never appeared in the world, and would definitely be at the level of Dumbledore in the future.
As long as I can have a good relationship with her, what does a mere box of goods matter?
If a wizard of Dumbledore's level could frequently visit his shop in the future, what a great advertisement this would be! I'm afraid his shop would be a household name in the entire wizarding world!
Why bother doing this black magic business? Wouldn't it be better to just make a fortune honestly?
The moment she figured it out, Hermione instantly became like an ancestor in Borgin and Burke's eyes.
And looking at Hermione's expression, even if a fight really breaks out, it's not certain whether he can win.
However... thinking of the little girl's sinister and cunning behavior of robbing other gangs, he always felt that it was somewhat weird.
Is this still Gryffindor?
Why does it feel different from the Gryffindor he knows?
The Sorting Hat couldn't have fallen into disrepair.
……
When Hermione walked out of the store, she saw Harry already standing at the door waiting for her.
It seems that he sneaked out of the store when he was blackmailing Borgin and Burke just now.
"you……"
Harry looked at the box in Hermione's hands and felt like he had a million complaints to make, but he didn't know where to start.
"Oh, justice is executed, please call me a caring person." Hermione said lightly.
Then why did you put the box into your backpack? Didn't you say you would give it to Mr. Arthur? And when did you learn the Traceless Extension Charm? Didn't you say you had to report it to the Ministry of Magic when you used it? You didn't look like you had reported it...
Harry's cheek twitched as he watched Hermione sell the stolen goods so skillfully.
Although he had a lot of questions in his mind, seeing Hermione staring at him, he always felt that if he opened his mouth, he would be dragged into a dark alley and chopped into dumpling stuffing, so he wisely did not open his mouth.
In fact, Hermione didn't understand what was going on, so she just took the things and left in a daze.
She knew that Borgin and Burke would weigh the pros and cons and give the box to her, but she would definitely be unwilling to do so and might even try to trick her.
Who would have thought that she would be sent off happily all of a sudden.
Forget it, take care of him.
Just think that the other person is shocked by the feeling of "someone on the forehead".
At worst, we can try to see if we can really cooperate when we have the chance in the future.
Unable to figure it out, Hermione was too lazy to think about it anymore. Anyway, she had gained a lot of good things this time, all of which were top-quality alchemical materials!
