Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 31: Bojinbok’s shop
It was a gloomy weather. Even though it was morning, it was covered with dark clouds. The black clouds seemed to indicate that there might be heavy rain at any time. Nevertheless, the Malfoy father and son went out early and headed for their destination.
They did not go directly to Diagon Alley first, but came to an alley adjacent to it. Unlike the lively scene of Diagon Alley, the streets here were deserted, dark and dirty. Malfoy played While yawning, he asked Lucius: "My father, what are we doing here? It seems that the environment here is not very good."
"Deal with some minor troubles," Lucius said.
"Sell stolen stolen goods, what are you doing so euphemistically." Malfoy couldn't help but want to laugh, he silently looked at the surrounding shops. One shop seems to be taming spiders. A large cage is full of black spiders. The dense legs and feet make people feel nauseous. Another shop sells poisonous candles. He doesn't understand the practical use of this poisonous candle, so he bought it. Give someone assassin? However, there is an old wooden street sign hanging in front of this shop, and there is also a huge black spider hanging on it. The sign says: Knock Down Alley
Then they came to a shop called Bojin-Bok, which seemed to be the largest shop here, and there were still some shrunken heads displayed in the window of a shop opposite this shop.
"Don't touch it when you go in. Of course, I know you must be very aware of the dangers of those dark magic items, my boy." Lucius reminded before entering the store.
"Of course, my father," Malfoy replied.
The two passed through the store, Lucius walked slowly to the counter and rang the bell on the counter. As for Malfoy who was looking at the surrounding merchandise carefully, he saw a shelf full of skulls, a mat in a glass box with a withered hand, a stack of blood-stained cards and a sluggish glass eyeball. The hideous mask is looking down on the wall. There are various human bones on the counter, and rusty, tooth-like instruments hung from the ceiling. It seems that the business in this shop is very deserted. Most of the products are covered in cloth. Full of dust.
Soon, a hunched man appeared behind the counter, stroked his shiny hair back with his hands.
The man spoke, and then Lucius seemed to pull out a piece of parchment.
Malfoy was unwilling to listen to the two men's bargaining, he continued to wander the store, looking at the surrounding merchandise.
After some bargaining, the two settled the final price.
"Oh, Master Malfoy, what do you want to buy?" The humpbacked man walked over to Malfoy. Compared to acquisitions, merchants obviously have a higher enthusiasm for selling goods. It seems that Malfoy Very interested in these products, Mr. Borkin also began to sell them.
"Master, what do you think of this." Mr. Borkin took up a withered human hand on the mat, and then said: "Put a candle in, and only the person holding it can see the light! It's the thief and Robber’s best friend."
"I don't think my son doesn't need it." Lucius said coldly, "Last year he was the number one at Hogwarts. I think he will definitely work in the Ministry of Magic in the future."
"Really?" Mr. Borkin gave an awkward smile, put his withered hand back where he was, and then said, "What do you need? Master Malfoy." The man bent down flatteringly. , The hunched body makes people feel that his head is about to touch the ground when he bends over again.
"I think this cabinet is good." Malfoy pointed his hand to the right and pointed at a black cabinet standing on the wall.
"Oh, you are so discerning." Mr. Borkin exclaimed, but Lucius interrupted him: "You tell everyone the same, just say it, how much money." Lucius I don't want to entangle him too much.
"This number?" Mr. Bokin stretched out a few fingers~IndoMTL.com~ Heh. "Lucius showed a sarcastic smile on his pale face, and then said unhurriedly: "Tomorrow, I will be at home waiting for you to pick up the goods. If you bring this cabinet, you might be able to see me again. Other things in the collection. "
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Bokin nodded and said, "Okay." No matter what he can say, he still knows very clearly that, at least for now, this cabinet is of no use. It's better to change for some benefits. Lucius clearly just hinted that the business could go further.
"Draco, let's go." At this moment, Lucius had already stepped out of the door with one foot.
"Mr. Borkin, can I ask you a question?" Malfoy said in a low voice.
"Of course, I am willing to help you."
"Do you know Tom? Tom Riddle." After that, Malfoy stared at Mr. Borkin closely, not letting the slightest change in expression on his face.
Mr. Bokin closed his eyes and seemed to sink into the memory. He opened his eyes soon and said, "Of course, that's the best clerk I have ever seen, not one of them, but he resigned later. "He said with some regret. "How did you know him?" he asked.
"I saw his name in the school's souvenir cup showroom, and heard that he worked in your shop. He is really good." Malfoy said.
"You will be better than him." Mr. Borkin said.
"Your good words." After Malfoy said these words, he hurried out of the store to follow Lucius.
