Chapter 64: Knockdown Alley

The sun was setting, and the cobblestones turned yellow.

The scattered wizards on the street began to go home.

Penelope's golden curly hair shone in the dim sun, and a slight blush appeared on her fair face.

Kate jumped around like a rabbit, grabbing Ryan's right hand.

Ryan, let's go back directly.

If this goes on, Penelope will probably still be immersed in that ghost book even when it gets dark. Kate raised her head in boredom and looked at Ryan eagerly.

She knew what Ryan was capable of. For example, when she went on a trip with Ryan before, Ryan waved his hand and a gray thing called the dimensional wall appeared.

After they walked towards it, they appeared in the place they were going to travel in Albania in the next second.

No, don't you think Diagon Alley is rare at this time? Ryan refused softly. Kate's mouth was pouting, almost hanging a bottle of oil.

As the largest and most prosperous trading center in the wizarding world, Diagon Alley is not as brightly lit as other trading centers.

On the contrary, as soon as dusk falls, all shops except those near the Leaky Cauldron will be closed.

In the middle of the night, only the Leaky Cauldron is still lit.

This is actually because of Knockturn Alley, the neighbor of Diagon Alley.

At night, when Knockturn Alley is officially open, dark wizards from all over the world gather here to exchange their collections.

But it has been different recently, or it has been different since Ryan started to sweep Knockturn Alley.

Dark wizards still exist.

However, those guys who killed innocent people and did whatever they wanted have disappeared one by one.

Other slightly better places have also been taken in by Borgin and Burke, contributing to Borgin's pirated Skywalker Alchemy Workshop industry.

Now, Knockturn Alley is better off being a large flea market.

Many items banned by the Ministry of Magic are traded here.

The most interesting thing is Fudge. He thought that all this was his own credit, and he boldly led people to secretly patrol Knockturn Alley.

Finally, he appeared there naked again on the outskirts of London.

During the few days when he disappeared briefly, the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic was improved again.

He also shamelessly attempted to order the closure of Knockturn Alley.

But no one paid attention to him.

After all, Knockturn Alley is one of the money bags of pure bloods. Especially now that it has been suddenly whitewashed for some reason, this is undoubtedly more important.

As for Fudge, who is he?

And Fudge once again mistakenly believed that all this was due to Dumbledore's existence!

Dumbledore's reputation made his decrees not respected!

So he once again communicated with his dog-headed military advisor Umbridge on how to discredit Dumbledore.

Well, the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is not bad. Fudge said so after reading the Daily Prophet.

Ryan, who knew all this, couldn't help but pray for Fudge and Umbridge, praying that they would not end up in Azkaban worse than in the original world line when facing Voldemort.

However, there is another possibility.

Ryan noticed that after Fudge's two sudden disappearances, the Ministry of Magic had found that it would be better without him.

His trick of pretending to be Dumbledore's power was no longer useful.

Especially now that he took the initiative to get rid of Dumbledore's influence.

Maybe, before Voldemort took action, Fudge would step down.

This is very likely.

Fudge is as his name suggests.

Very lucky.

Because of Crouch's failure, his correspondence with Dumbledore, and the need for a minister who looks gentle in peacetime, the incompetent him unexpectedly came to power. In the original world line, on the eve of Voldemort's official comeback, he was lucky enough to step down, unlike the unlucky Scrimgeour who lost his life.

Even in the end, he didn't stay in Azkaban for long.

Maybe, this time he will step down early because of his own blessing.

If that's the case, it would be funny.

However, all of this is because of Ryan's cleaning of Knockturn Alley.

It is also because of this that Diagon Alley, away from the Leaky Cauldron, is open to people at night.

There are fewer people now, but people are not used to this.

In addition, the incident of Fudge disappearing here not long ago has an impact.

As the night deepened, Ryan and the other two who cast a magic to reduce their presence around them gradually began to retreat.

But it was more because of Penelope who came to her senses. Can we go now?

However, I really didn't expect that Knockturn Alley would be so lively at night. Kate said half expectantly and half hesitantly.

Expecting because she had been thinking about going home for a long time.

Hesitant because she found that she was now unusually curious about the liveliness of Knockturn Alley.

Should we go for a walk again? Penelope, who noticed Kate's expression, said hesitantly.

She was very embarrassed now. She had looked for so long without realizing it.

She wasted everyone's time.

Since Kate wanted to go shopping, let's go.

As for the safety issue, isn't there Ryan?

So, Ryan and the other two, who concealed their presence, came to Knockturn Alley, which was strictly prohibited by their parents.

In the daytime, this is a dirty alley, and both sides seem to be full of black magic shops.

In the windows on the street, there are some shrunken human heads displayed in a gloomy way, a large cage is full of huge black spiders, green poisonous candles, and piles of nails that seem to be dead people.

This was the case when Ryan and the others passed by during the day.

But now, although those disgusting things still exist, they have become inconspicuous under the night.

What's more, various stalls have been set up on the stone floor that has become as white as a mirror.

To Ryan's surprise, there were no obvious, disgusting, and appalling black magic props here.

On the contrary, this place is more like a wholesale market for potions that only sells treasures and does not allow direct sales.

The monster's black, calloused feet, green, crystal clear Acromantula venom, with a curse, and hot unicorn blood, shining with lightning, were locked in an insulated and clear bottle of thunderbird feathers

Beyond that, on the other side, some brand new, oddly shaped wands caught Kate's attention.

Some of them are purple with a dreamy mist, some are hollow, the core of the stick is burning like fire feathers, and some are more like an iron rod, reflecting a dazzling cold light under the moonlight. , and some are as white as jade, and seem to be surrounded by illusory and transparent flying birds.

Kate pulled Ryan, and Ryan nodded. The next second, their unobserved existence reappeared and twisted into three tall and thick black-robed wizards.

Before Ryan and the others could speak, the old man at the stall said in a tone that seemed arrogant but actually lacked confidence: Look! This is my latest research and development of the wand Dream Traveler? Poplar, Duel Master? Red Oak, Soulbringer? Silver Basswood, Extraordinary Laurel? Ash.

Then, in Ryan's mind, Kate's excited voice sounded, ah ah, so cool, I want it even if it looks like a transfiguration!
