#150 - Chapter 150: Little cutie, are you lost?
Knockturn Alley?
Isn't that the gathering place for notorious dark wizards?
What are we going there for?
Before Harry could ask anything, Sebastian had already arrived at the fireplace and said to Harry.
“The Polyjuice Potion's transformation time is limited. Let's hurry, we can talk about any questions on the way.”
After speaking, Sebastian gestured for Harry to stand in the fireplace, and instructed him: “Go to Diagon Alley first, we'll walk over from there.”
With a flash of green light, Harry directly appeared in the fireplace in Diagon Alley.
He had just walked to the side when Sebastian's figure appeared in the fireplace.
“Let's go, Leo.” Sebastian nodded, signaling Harry to follow.
“Mr. Jack,” Harry asked softly, “I wanted to ask, what are we going to Knockturn Alley for?”
“It's simple, I'm going to pick out a birthday gift for you there, a special alchemical item.”
A birthday gift?
Harry's head was full of question marks.
Going to Knockturn Alley to buy a birthday gift?
What kind of good person goes there to buy gifts!
Buying alchemical items?
Isn't Swan Alchemy the largest alchemy merchant in the magical world?
What alchemical items can't Swan Alchemy make?
Harry opened his mouth, and asked in confusion: “What special things can you buy there? Can't you make them?”
“Of course,” Sebastian smiled, “There are some items that can only be found in Knockturn Alley.”
“For example, some special items made with dark magic.”
Made with dark magic?
What good things could there be?
A trace of resistance rose in Harry's heart.
As if sensing the aversion in Harry's heart, Sebastian took the initiative to explain.
“We never actively refine those things, but it is undeniable that some items made with dark magic do have special effects.”
If Harry were just an ordinary little wizard, then he would have no problem thinking this way.
However, his Savior status destined him to not be able to look at problems from the perspective of an ordinary little wizard.
He needs to grow up as soon as possible, seizing every opportunity to improve and strengthen himself.
After all, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that catches mice.
“Think about the enemies you will face, don't be too pedantic, we must use all the items available on the market to enhance your strength.”
“Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion and won't buy you any alchemical items with side effects.”
“Besides, you're not that young anymore, it's time to show you the other side of the magical world.”
“To see the dark side of the magical world that isn't so glamorous.”
The two walked and talked, and gradually, Harry understood Sebastian's good intentions and no longer resisted using certain magical items.
The hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley was gradually left behind, and the colorful shops and cheerful wizards along the way gradually faded away.
As he stepped into Knockturn Alley, a gloomy aura came over him, as if he had entered a forgotten world.
The streets here were narrow and winding, and the buildings on both sides were mottled and dilapidated, with black-green moss crawling on the walls.
Unlike the shops in Diagon Alley, the shops here often had tattered signs hanging at the entrance, with blurred writing on the signs.
What was displayed in the windows was no longer dazzling magical merchandise, but various strange and eerie items.
Dark magic books, evil curse tools, strange biological specimens, and various inferior magic potions filled Harry's vision.
Sebastian said that today was a special lesson, to let himself observe and comprehend more.
What exactly should I observe and comprehend?
Harry was full of question marks, looking around like a tourist, carefully experiencing the differences here.
Along the way, two or three strangers struck up conversations, promoting goods, or winking and inviting them to play in “certain special places.”
However, after being rejected, these people didn't pester them too much and soon left.
It seems that, apart from being a little gloomy, a little deserted, and a place that doesn't look like a good person should stay, there doesn't seem to be anything special here.
However, Sebastian generally doesn't do things without a purpose, there must be something here that he must learn.
He still needs to observe more!
Soon, Harry's behavior attracted the attention of some interested people.
In the shadows of the street corner, four wizards were whispering, talking in hushed tones, as if discussing unknown secrets.
“Are you sure these two young men are easy targets?”
“How could it be fake? I've been in Knockturn Alley for more than twenty years, I can tell what kind of person the other party is at a glance.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Look at that fatty, he's been looking around since he came in, this kind of person looks like a newbie who hasn't seen the world.”
“What you said makes sense, this kind of wizard who looks like he just graduated not long ago is likely traveling around.”
“Look at that skinny guy again, although he looks very calm, he's taking that fatty around, he obviously isn't familiar with this place.”
“So, we can rob them?”
“Of course, this is a rare opportunity!”
“Damn, that fatty has been targeted by the old witch, let's go get the other skinny guy quickly, otherwise we won't even get the soup.”
Just as the four were discussing, an old witch appeared in front of Harry.
She grinned, grabbed Harry's arm, and gave Harry a big scare.
“Dear, is this your first time in Knockturn Alley? Are you lost? Do you need a guide?”
The old witch grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth, her voice was extremely gentle, sounding like a kind old grandmother next door.
“No matter where you want to go, just follow me!” With that, the old witch pulled Harry and was about to turn to the side.
“No, madam, you misunderstood, I'm not lost. My companion knows the way, I'll just follow him.”
Harry denied in a panic, while using his right hand to try to break his arm free from the old witch's hand.
To his surprise, although the old witch was thin and small, looking like skin and bones, she was extremely strong.
For a moment, Harry couldn't break free at all, and could only barely keep from being dragged away by the old witch.
With Sebastian by his side, although Harry was flustered, he wasn't worried about encountering danger.
Why hasn't Sebastian taken action yet?
Could it be that the situation in front of him is what he wants himself to understand?
That's right......
Sebastian said that he wanted to let himself see the dark side of the magical world.
Originally, he thought that the dark side referred to Knockturn Alley, but now it seems that Sebastian was mostly referring to the dark wizards of the magical world.
Then what to do now?
Should I draw my wand and give this old witch a fierce spell?
