The days of drawing cards at Hogwarts

Somehow, a chill gradually spread from the outside of the alley, causing the ground of Knockturn Alley and the old shop windows to be covered with a layer of frost.

Countless tall figures gathered around the alley, surrounding the entire alley, and then gradually narrowed the circle.

The chill gradually spreads throughout Knockturn Alley. The magic of Apparition requires a high degree of concentration to achieve. If you hear a few whispers in your ears from time to time when you are concentrating, your most fearful memories will continue to resurface in your mind.

, then the probability of apparation failure will be greatly increased.

Continuous explosions were heard in the air. Dozens of wizards still chose to take the risk of apparating, but most of them failed. Their bodies were suddenly divided into several sections, and various body parts were scattered around.

There are strange things floating in every corner of Knockturn Alley.

"It seems that the people in the incident reversal team have to work overtime." Bones looked at these split people, but this was the thought that came to his mind.

"Dementors?!" Many wizards exclaimed. Their voices were full of shock and disbelief. They never expected that one day Knockturn Alley would be raided by dementors.

Many shopkeepers' faces instantly turned pale. The arrival of the dementors reminded them of very unpleasant things.

Soon, the entire Knockturn Alley was occupied by Dementors. With Ministry of Magic officials watching eagerly, no wizard dared to use the Patronus Charm to resist - not all wizards in Knockturn Alley were possessed by black magic.

People with corrupted minds, as well as some normal people, use crappy Patronus Charms.

Seeing that everyone was at ease, Bones was overjoyed and immediately cast a magnifying spell on herself. Then her voice resounded throughout the alley: "Everyone, leave the shop immediately and gather on the street!"

After hearing the order, the people who were still hiding in the shop did not dare to neglect, and walked to the dirty path of Knockturn Alley. No one dared to use their brains to hide in the dark room, because they knew that they were not Blake and could not escape.

The dementor's eyes. If he is caught in the end, the situation will be very bad.

"Let's go!" In the spacious and dim wizard shop, a hunchbacked man with shiny hair said to the old man standing aside.

"Hmph, that girl Bones actually persuaded the dementors. Looking at this situation, at least half of the dementors from Azkaban are here." The person who replied was a tall and thin wizard.

His hair is gray, his nose is long and pointed, and the skin on his face is dull and loose.

This old wizard is called Torquill Travers, and he is the current head of the Travers family, one of the twenty-eight pure-blood clans. In the early 20th century, he served as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

But now it is the end of the 20th century, and this old wizard who was once all-powerful has become old and no longer as brave as he once was.

The shop owners, Borgin and Tokir, are both well-known people in the magic world, but they also understand that the situation is stronger than the person, so they all walked out of the shop obediently and accepted the search by the Ministry of Magic.

The Aurors and strikers from the Ministry of Magic escorted the shopkeepers into the shops, searched the suspicious shops door to door, and confiscated all suspicious items. The dementors hovered in the air, frightening the shopkeepers and customers, so that they did not dare to do anything.

Any unusual movement.

The faces of the shop owners gradually became worse, but no one chose to be the first to do so. Even the shop owners were like this, let alone the customers.

Tokil also stood in the middle of the street with a strong presence. He even closed his eyes, like an old man with low energy. Looking at his appearance, no one would have thought that he had three shops in this alley.

The dementors in mid-air don't care whether these people are innocent or not, they wantonly suck the happiness from these people. To them, this is more like a picnic.

"Mr. Borgin, take us to your store."

Finally, it was Bo Jin's turn for the shop to be inspected, and several beaters walked into his shop surrounded by Bo Jin.

"I'm just an antique dealer," Bo Jin said with a greasy smile on his face, "I like to collect those ancient gadgets..."

"Oh? Is this necklace also a baubles?" Tonks, who followed, asked, pointing to the label of an opal necklace.

[Extremely dangerous, more than ten Muggles have lost their lives]

"Oh, a brave adventurer found this in a ruins. I bought it for research." Bo Jin explained calmly.

His profession really has great advantages. As an antique dealer, isn’t it normal for me to have some cursed antiques on hand?

Dark magic items? This is valuable research material!

In fact, most people who dare to sell black magic items on the black market have some identity cover: antique dealers, second-hand dealers, scholars...

Those stupid young people who don't have a legitimate name don't need the Ministry of Magic to take action, their colleagues will take care of them.

"Smooth talk." Tonks glanced at Borgin disdainfully, "There is no doubt that this is a dark magic item and should be confiscated and destroyed."

Faced with these people who wander between dark wizards and normal wizards, the Ministry of Magic has its own way of dealing with it: as long as an item involves black magic, it will be confiscated directly. The property of a businessman? It is prohibited to possess black magic items, and property is not subject to Protect it and confiscate it directly! Materials for scholars to do research? Who asked you to study black magic? Not only must this item be confiscated, but your research notes must also be destroyed.

Such extreme and extreme measures have extremely effectively curbed the spread of black magic. In fact, the Ministry of Magic was not so afraid of black magic in the past. There were even many wizards who believed that "magic does not matter black or white, it only depends on the use of magic." "The good and evil of wizards". However, after being tortured by the two Dark Lords, the Ministry of Magic's tolerance for black magic plummeted.

Bo Jin's expression changed drastically. He understood that he was going to bleed heavily today. What a pity for those treasures he spent a lot of money to acquire!

In the past, before the inspection, Borgin would hear the news in advance and collect some things that could not be seen in the light. He even had the energy to help other magic families keep things. But today, the Ministry of Magic came too unexpectedly! He didn't react at all. time.

He could only lower his head, bow, and grit his teeth in secret.

Tonks didn't care at all. She motioned to her subordinates to put the necklace away - as long as they didn't come into contact with the necklace, they wouldn't be cursed.

Next, she walked around Borgin-Bokri again, and her eyes fell on a glass box. On the mat in the box were a withered human hand, a stack of blood-stained playing cards and a motionless Glass eyeball.

It was that eyeball that caught Tonks' attention.
