Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

Who do you think you are, Voldemort?

Bo Jin sneered and stared at the leader of the man with his eyes.

Because it was covered by the hood, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

But combined with the recent events in Knockturn Alley, Borgin probably guessed the identities of these dark wizards.

Were they the group of wizards who attacked Malfoy Manor? The corners of his eyes trembled when he thought of this.

It's obvious that he's not as calm inside now as he appears on the surface.

"Voldemort?"

Tom said to himself, and then a slightly sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Maybe, but Mr. Borgin—you still recognize my face, right?"

As he spoke, he took off the hood on his head, revealing a handsome face.

There were slight cracks on the handsome face, just like cracked ceramics, and his eyes were also jet black, giving A shuddering feeling

"you...you are——"

After seeing this face, Bo Jin's expression immediately changed, with a hint of disbelief on his wrinkled face.

Even if the face had changed to what it looked like now, he could still distinguish it based on the outline in his old memory.

But why - time didn't leave any traces on his face?

And what's going on with this look?

"Tom Riddle?"

Bo Jin tentatively called out a name.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Borgin would recognize me. It was an honor."

Tom looked at the boss in front of him with a smile.

It was really him!

After getting a positive answer, Bo Jin couldn't help but take a step back, and his slightly hunched body hit the counter.

"Now continuing with our question, do you choose to surrender, or do you choose to be sent to face death by us?"

Tom clapped his hands gently.

Morris led a few people forward knowingly, staring unkindly at the old wizard in front of him.

It seemed as if if there was any deviation in Borgin's answer, they would immediately get rid of him. Take the wand in your hand and cast a death curse

"Is this how you usually negotiate with people?"

Lorne, who was watching the show behind the crowd, couldn't help but ask Sirius next to him.

"No, we all cooperate with Lockhart when dealing with other stores."

Sirius shrugged and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"If it weren't for that Auror's promotion - Knockturn Alley would have been occupied by us long ago"

"Lockhart...it looks like you guys are working well together."

Lorne nodded gently, looking thoughtful.

Indeed, if we follow this efficiency, it is estimated that the entire Knockturn Alley shop will have to make its own choice in less than a day.

There is no need to waste money. so much time

"Speaking of which, what's Lockhart's position now?"

Lorne asked curiously

"I heard that he has been running for deputy director of the Auror Office, but I don't know if he can succeed."

When Lockhart was mentioned, Sirius subconsciously glanced at the blond wizard next to him.

Lorne's hand was really stretched out long enough. The spies placed in the Ministry of Magic have grown to this point.

Deputy Director of the Auror Office , if you take a step up, you will almost get the position of Minister of Magic.

At such a young age, but with such a deep scheming...

This is really amazing.

Sirius shook his head and sighed in his heart.

"Speaking of Harry, what are you going to do? Lorne suddenly remembered this matter and said softly,"Are we just going to let him treat the Dursleys like that?""

"How is that possible - I will find a way to get him out, and I can protect Harry too. Sirius said in a hoarse and low voice.

As for the danger Dumbledore mentioned?

He felt that there was nothing more dangerous than letting Harry stay in that family.

"Then I wish you success."

Lorne blessed softly.

But at this moment, Tom, who had put on his hood again, strolled over with a satisfied smile on his lips.

"It seemed Mr. Borkin had surrendered."

After seeing his smile, Lorne also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"After all, Mr. Borkin is a smart guy."

Tom replied disapprovingly.

With the last store successfully negotiated, the entire Knockturn Alley is now completely in his hands.

If this matter is thoroughly publicized, it will definitely be popular in England. There was an uproar in the wizarding world.

You know, Knockturn Alley has been in chaos for so many years. This is the first time that someone has completely controlled it.

…………

Northwest of Knockturn Alley.

In a house near the outskirts.

Lorne was sitting on a chair, holding a glass of butterbeer in his hand, but his eyes were focused on the busy house elf.

"Dobby, please give me a cup of chocolate-hot black tea, please." he shouted softly

"Yes, sir, I’ll give you a cup of hot black tea!"

Dobby's slightly shrill voice rang out, and with a crisp snap of his fingers, the butterbeer placed on the table turned into a cup of black tea.

Is this the house elf who used the Quaffle to murder Harry?

Unexpectedly Tom actually caught it

"I found it in the basement during the attack on Malfoy Manor - I remember mentioning it to you in my letter."

Sirius sat next to him and said

"I know about this. How are Lucius and the others doing lately?"

Hearing this, Sirius couldn't help but sneered.

"Those cowards are still hiding in the dormitory of the Ministry of Magic."

When he mentioned the incident at Malfoy Manor, he felt very relieved.

He was lucky that Lucius, the Death Eater, didn't burn him to death!

"Mr. Geralt, there is a man named Lupin outside looking for you."

The two were still chatting, and Dobby suddenly appeared and reminded him with his hoarse experienced voice.

"Lupin?"

Sirius opened his eyes wide, then stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

Lorn also raised the corner of his mouth and followed.

Opening the door, the two of them saw at a glance that they were wearing white suits and holding a full dozen in their hands. The man who patched the box was none other than Professor Lupine, who had resigned from Hogwarts.

After seeing the man in front of him, Lorne said with a smile.

"Welcome to us, Remus Lupin!"
