Hogwarts: I can load entries infinitely!

"'November 1st to November 7th, special campaign against dark wizards'?"

Devereaux and Lupine stood by the notice board, staring at the announcement posted by the Ministry of Magic. After a few seconds of silence, they looked at each other, each with a somewhat complicated expression.

"So cruel?"

There was a bit of exaggeration in Devereux's tone.

"Did the Ministry of Magic change its gender or something? It actually started to crack down on crime and eliminate evil?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the orderliness around the street, almost wondering if he had gone to the wrong place.

But as soon as he glanced at it, the information that popped up on the panel reminded him that this was the infamous Knockturn Alley from before.

[Current secret place: London Wizarding Market (Diagon Alley)]

[Current exploration level of the secret realm: 78%]

"All right,"

Devereaux sighed.

"Although this scene is weird, at least the safety factor has increased. You don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by a dark wizard at any time."

Lupine crossed his arms and his expression became much more relaxed. He looked at the notice board with some relief in his tone.

"Indeed, this place used to be one of the underground gathering places for werewolves. I heard that there are also many dark wizards' strongholds."

He turned his eyes to the patrol in the distance on the street and sighed softly.

"The Ministry of Magic has turned a blind eye to Knockturn Alley for decades, and this time it was forced to carry out such rectification. But it is not too late. I hope that no new Knockturn Alley will pop up in the future. ”

Devereux glanced at him and raised his hand to point to the date on the sign.

"You are quite optimistic, but I have not forgotten that this is just a 'special rectification activity', limited to seven days."

"Oh, then this is no fun. Just wander around and get your exploration level up."

Devereaux muttered lazily, his hands in his pockets like a listless stray cat.

He waved his hand casually, motioning for Lupine to follow, and the two of them began to wander aimlessly in Knockturn Alley.

Needless to say, this place has indeed been renovated, and the security is much better than before.

Along the way, Devereaux met few wizards. Even if he occasionally met a few, they were all in a hurry, walking forward quickly with their heads lowered, as if they were afraid of being spotted by officials from the Ministry of Magic.

And those patrolling Ministry of Magic officials can be seen everywhere, and their posture is quite strict.

Devereaux and Lupine didn't get very far before they were stopped several times.

"What are you two doing here?"

An official in a Ministry of Magic uniform stopped them, his eyes darting back and forth between Devereaux and Lupine, his tone unkind.

"Well, let's just take a look and visit."

Lupine raised his hands and spoke as gently as possible.

Devereaux didn't bother to explain any more, so he casually took out an invitation letter for an international exchange meeting and handed it over.

The official took the letter, glanced down, frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Devereaux again, with a hint of suspicion.

"you……"

The officer stared at Devereaux's face, as if he felt familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before.

Then he turned to Lupin and softened his tone slightly.

"Listen, don't bring children to a place like this. Even though it's been cleaned up, it's still not safe enough."

Lupine nodded and showed a helpless smile.

"Understood, we are just passing by and won't stay long."

Devereaux disagreed, crossing his arms and squinting at the official, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Isn't it safe? Not even a mouse dares to show its head here now, right?"

The official was a little unhappy with his attitude and glared at him coldly, but in the end he didn't say anything and just waved his hand.

"Go quickly, don't delay our work."

Lupine agreed wholeheartedly, taking advantage of this excuse to take Devereux away from here.

But during the conversation between Lupine and the Ministry of Magic official, the official's expression suddenly became dull and his eyes were empty, and then he turned and walked away, as if Lupine and Devereux had never existed.

"etc--"

Lu Ping looked stunned and quickly stretched out his hand to stop the official, but before he could say anything, Devereux's voice could be heard in his ears.

"Come on, don't wait any longer. We have to finish shopping here before Snape comes back."

Lupine turned around and saw Devereux inserting his wand back into his waist leisurely, his expression as calm as if he had just done something normal.

He waved to Lupine and continued walking deeper into the alley.

Lu Ping hurriedly chased after him, and while looking back at the official who was walking away, he lowered his voice and asked eagerly.

"Did you just... did you cast the Oblivion and Confusion Charms on that official?!"

Devereaux stopped and looked back at Lupin, with a malicious smile on his lips.

"Yeah, what? You want to report me?"

Lupine was so angry at his indifferent attitude that he could only sigh helplessly, cover his face and whisper.

"Do you know? This is a serious crime! You will have to spend at least three years in Azkaban to start!"

Devereux shrugged nonchalantly and continued walking.

"Isn't it okay to not be discovered? Besides, this is Knockturn Alley, who really cares about rules?"

He turned back and smiled at Lupine, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Let's go, I have a hunch that there are still fish that have slipped through the net here."

Lu Ping was really helpless to the extreme. He was not worried about Devereaux wandering around alone, but he also knew that he could not stop this kid at all.

In desperation, he could only shake his head and sigh, and followed silently.

The two of them walked towards the depths of Knockturn Alley.

[Current secret realm exploration degree: 85%]

...

[Current exploration level of the secret realm: 90%]

.......

[Current exploration level of the secret realm: 95%]

.......

[Current exploration level of the secret realm: 98%]

Knockturn Alley was almost completely explored by Devereux and Lupin.

On the way, Devereux casually cast a forgetting charm on four or five Ministry of Magic officials, handling the matter neatly.

Lu Ping saw this with mixed emotions. He couldn't help but start to question the professionalism of the Ministry of Magic - it was outrageous that these officials could be so easily confused by a child casting a spell.

"Isn't it? Why is this place so clean? It's just been gutted."

Devereaux muttered while looking at the Ministry of Magic map posted on the roadside.

He looked at the location of the shops marked on the map, and then glanced at the dead streets around him, his mouth twitching slightly.

The exploration level of the entire Knockturn Alley is almost full, but all the shops along the way are either closed or empty, and there is not even a decent stall.

Now, there was only one store left in front of them - the only place still open on the entire street.

Now there is only one store left for the two of them to visit (and there is no other store to visit), which is the store in front of them, the only open store on the entire street.

"Bojinbok?"

Lupine looked at the sign and frowned.

"This is one of the most famous places for selling stolen dark magic items in the underground market. The Ministry of Magic actually kept this shop alone?"

Devereaux pulled the wand out of his waist, excitement in his eyes.

He grinned, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Okay, it's finally interesting. Let me see what this store is capable of-"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the store door open and a familiar figure walked out.

It was a pale boy with blond hair meticulously combed back, wearing well-tailored black wizard robes.

He looked up and saw Devereaux and Lupin, obviously stunned for a moment, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Malfoy?!"
