Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

"It turns out to be Mr. Malfoy. It's okay. I've finished discussing the business with Mr. Borkin, so I'll take the first step."

Luo Cheng glanced meaningfully at the Malfoys and his son, and then glanced at the large black cabinet where Harry was hiding. The cabinet was not completely closed, leaving a small crack.

"It seems that Harry Potter accidentally came to Knockturn Alley as in the plot, which is really interesting."

Luo Cheng slowly walked out of the store and gave Draco Malfoy what he thought was a very kind smile.

Draco Malfoy was so frightened by Luo Cheng's smile that he couldn't help but grab the corner of his father's clothes.

"Let go, Draco."

Mr. Malfoy was angry at his son's embarrassing behavior, "You acted like a timid little girl."

"But father." Draco Malfoy said nervously, "I know that guy. That guy is a teacher at Hogwarts. He is Luo Cheng, the ideological and moral education professor who suddenly landed last year! He seems to have magic as well.

Ministry duties.”

Harry, who was hiding in the cupboard, chuckled to himself. This place didn't look like a kind place. Draco Malfoy, the little bastard, must have been afraid that Professor Luo Cheng would cause trouble and deduct points from him.

"Quiet, Draco."

Mr. Malfoy frowned, "So what if he is a professor at Hogwarts? Since he has also come to Mr. Borgin's shop, it means that he -"

"It means that he and we still have a lot in common."

Mr. Borgin interjected in a tone as smooth as his hair, "Master Malfoy doesn't need to be so afraid. The professors at Hogwarts are not all old-fashioned guys. Knockturn Alley is not an illegal place that only dark wizards can come to."

Professor Luo Cheng will not find fault with you because of such a trivial matter. I exchanged a lot of good things with Professor Luo Cheng today. By the way, Mr. Malfoy, there is no one else here now. I can help you.

What to do? I have a lot of good stuff here, and the price is very reasonable——"

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

"sell things?"

The smile on Mr. Borkin's face diminished slightly.

"You must have heard that the ministry has stepped up inspections."

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 things at home that may cause me inconvenience."

Mr. Borkin put on a pair of pince-nez and looked down at the list. "I don't think the Ministry will disturb you, sir?"

Mr. Malfoy curled his lips.

"Unfortunately, the Ministry is getting more and more nosy now. That slovenly idiot Arthur Weasley maliciously searched my manor to cause trouble. I heard that he also wanted to instigate the "Muggle Protection Act".

Why doesn’t this shameful pure-blood divorce his wife and find a Muggle to marry?”

Harry was furious when he heard that he actually slandered Mr. and Mrs. Weasley who were so good to him!

"Although these things are good, they are not rare things."

After reading the list, Mr. Bojin felt a little unmotivated.

Mr. Malfoy was obviously unhappy after hearing this, "Mr. Borgin, the things here are all in short supply. If it weren't for the Ministry's strict inspection, I would never sell them."

"If you had come an hour earlier, I would have been interested in buying them, but now I really don't want to buy the things on your list."

Mr. Borgin smiled slyly, "Unless the price is very reasonable."

Mr. Malfoy gritted his teeth and said, "Then what is a reasonable price?"

They began to bargain, and Draco Malfoy, who had nothing to do, was able to look at the items for sale in the shop as he pleased. Seeing that they were approaching Harry's hiding place, Harry's heart started to rise. Draco stopped to study a stick.

The long noose, and then read the sign on the luxurious opal necklace with a silly smile: Beware: Do not touch, it has been cursed - it has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles.

Draco turned around and saw the cabinet. He stepped forward and reached for the door handle.

"It's done," Mr. Malfoy said from the other side of the counter. "Come here, Draco!"

Draco turned and walked away, and Harry wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

"Goodbye, Mr. Bojin, I'll wait for you at home to pick up the goods tomorrow."

As soon as the door closed, Mr. Borgin immediately dropped his flattering tone.

"I really need to thank Mr. Luo Cheng. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have had the chance to kill Lucius, the iron rooster." Mr. Bojin muttered happily and walked into the back room.

Harry waited for a while and saw that Mr. Borgin never came out. Then he got out of the cupboard as quietly as possible, walked past the glass counters, and slipped out of the store.
