Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 127 Drunk Toby

Although he has never been able to have a normal and complete conversation with Ginny, all in all, Harry's life in the Burrow is quite good. He also waited here for the notice of the start of the new semester, including the book list for the second grade.

.

To Harry's expectation, in addition to "Standard Spells, Level 2", they had to buy seven books by Gilderoy Lockhart. Most of the titles of these books were related to dark creatures, such as "With the Female Ghost"

"Break", or "Wandering with Ghouls".

This gave Harry a strange sense of familiarity. When he raised his head, Ron, who looked at him, just said what he was thinking:

"Could it be another Professor Heimer?"

Although the book "Ancient Magic" is obscure and boring to read, in general the content in that book is similar to Lockhart's work - it just looks very dangerous.

In addition to the book list, they also received a reply from Hermione. In the letter, Hermione criticized Ron's reckless method of saving Harry, and then made an agreement with them to go to London to buy textbooks next Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Mrs. Weasley woke them up early in the morning. They each ate five or six bacon sandwiches in a hurry, and then put on their coats. Mrs. Weasley took a flowerpot from the kitchen mantelpiece and

Look inside.

"Not much, Arthur," she sighed, "I have to buy something today, okay, guests come first! Harry, you come first!"

Harry was stunned, he didn't understand what this meant - he had never used Floo powder before.

Mr. Weasley asked Harry about his previous travel methods. He became more interested after learning about the subway. Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley interrupted him in time.

Then, after Fred, George, and Mr. Weasley each gave a complete demonstration of how to use it, Harry also grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the burning flames in the fireplace.

The flames were like a blast of hot wind. He opened his mouth and immediately took a big puff of hot cigarette ashes.

"Yes - Diagon Alley!" Harry coughed.

He seemed to be sucked into a huge socket hole, and the whistling sound around his ears was deafening. He tried desperately to open his eyes, but the swirling green flames made him feel dizzy. The bacon sandwich was churning in his stomach.

He quickly closed his eyes, praying to stop quickly, and then - he fell face down on the cold stone ground, feeling that the lenses of his glasses were broken.

Harry was dizzy, his skin was bruised, and he was covered in soot. He climbed up carefully and raised the broken glasses to his eyes. However, Harry found that there seemed to be something wrong with the place he came from. Nothing here could be listed in Hogg's list.

On the Watts School shopping list.

On the mat in a glass box next to it, there is a withered human hand, a stack of blood-stained playing cards and a dull glass eyeball. A ferocious mask stares down on the wall, and various items are placed on the counter.

Human bones and rusty, tooth-like instruments hung from the ceiling. Worse, Harry could tell that the dark, narrow alley outside the dusty shop window was definitely not Diagon Alley.

Get out of here as soon as possible.

Harry thought, he quickly and quietly walked towards the door, but before he got halfway, two people appeared outside the door - one of them was the person Harry least wanted to meet at the moment: Draco Malfoy

.

Harry quickly looked around and saw a large black cabinet on the left. He ducked in and closed the cabinet door, leaving only a small crack. A few seconds later, the bell rang and Malfoy walked in.

in the store.

The man behind him could only be his father, with such a pale pointed face and such cold gray eyes. Harry had met him during the holidays, and almost everyone in the station had seen Lucius' embarrassed look -

—On the day of the holiday, he was stunned when he saw Professor Heimer walking out of the train with Draco. Then he became uncontrollably angry and wanted to step forward to blame Professor Heimo, but before he could walk out,

A few steps away, a weird doll suddenly flew out of Draco's pocket. It was the doll that caused a commotion at the train station. It kept throwing out smoke bombs and took advantage of the chaos to teach Lucius a lesson.

After a while, he was beaten until his nose was black and his face was swollen.

Lucius, now clearly recovering from his injuries, warned Draco not to touch anything in the store, and then struck up a conversation with a man who appeared behind the counter.

"Mr. Malfoy, it's so nice to see you again."

The expression on Bo Jin's face was a little strange. He had obviously heard about the attack that happened at the train station. But he still promoted as usual: "What can I do for you? I must show it to you. Just today

The price is very reasonable——"

"I'm not buying anything today, Mr. Borgin. I'm here to sell something," said Mr. Malfoy.

"Selling something?" The smile on Mr. Bojin's face diminished slightly.

"You must have heard that the ministry has stepped up checks. It is said that a new "Muggle Protection Act" is to be introduced - it must be that slovenly fool Arthur Weasley who is behind it, he likes it best

"Muggles -" Mr. Malfoy said, taking out a roll of parchment from the inner pocket of his clothes, unfolding it and showing it to Mr. Borgin, "I have some - ah - things at home that might cause me inconvenience. If

Come from the Ministry."

Just when Harry was furious, the door of the store was suddenly kicked open, startling Draco who was looking at a withered human hand. Harry, who was hiding in the cupboard, couldn't believe it either.

eyes widened——

Professor Hemmer walked in drunkenly. He was holding a bottle of expensive-looking wine in his hand. The smell of alcohol on his body was so strong that it filled the entire shop and almost made Harry faint.

Harry originally thought that Professor Highmore was the least troublesome when his hair was hanging down in front of his eyes. However, he was obviously wrong - ever since he entered this weird store, the drunk Professor Highmore said

Without saying anything, he stared straight at Lucius in front of the counter. Without even saying hello, he actually kicked him directly with a flying kick.

Lucius, who was planning the transaction, had already sensed that something was wrong. He quickly took the parchment out of Borgin's hand and carefully placed it in his cuff. At the same time, he turned around quickly, missing Professor Heimer who was flying towards him, and grabbed hold of the already frightened Professor.

Draco——

"let's go!"

He said and led Draco out of the store.

It seems that the encounter at the train station taught him an unforgettable lesson, and he no longer wants to face Professor Heimer, a lunatic.

Bo Jin stared blankly at the counter that had been kicked to pieces. He forgot how much strength it took to do this, and his glib eyes suddenly changed.

But in the next second, when Professor Heimer glanced at him suddenly, Bojin did not dare to criticize anymore - he recognized Professor Heimer's iconic hairstyle, and when a few gold coins were tossed to him

When he was in front of me, a smile appeared on his face again, as if nothing had happened.

But Professor Heimer did not wait for Bo Jin to promote the products in the store. He staggered and left the store carrying the bottle of wine, without saying a word during the whole process.

Hiding in the cupboard, Harry tried to calm himself down. After Mr. Borgin returned to the back room, he quickly got out of the cupboard as quietly as possible, walked past the glass counters, and slipped out of the store.

Before he could see his surroundings clearly, the collar of his clothes was suddenly lifted up and he heard someone say to him——

"Mr. Potter, can you explain why you appeared in Knockturn Alley?"

This voice was all too familiar to Harry - it was Professor Hemmer.
