Chapter 1333: The Murderer's Bar
In the end, Evan did not enter the underworld.
He carried a lot of Polyjuice Potion with him, so he didn't need to go to the Underworld to buy them, and after Delphi turned into Hermione, they went straight back to the Ministry of Magic and infiltrated the Minister's office to find the Time Turner......
Although he didn't enter the Underworld last time, Evan learned the way to get there from Delphi.
It is said that in the basement of the house at the end of Tumbledown Alley, there is a passage into the crypt.
Just like entering Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron, tapping a brick on the basement wall with your wand will open the entrance to the lower level.
However, this is information eighteen years later, and Evan is not sure if it will work now.
The four of them walked cautiously down the street, into the depths of Tumbledown Alley.
The group didn't move quickly, and Harry and Ron looked around from time to time, looking for Malfoy.
Evan lay in Hermione's arms, also vigilantly surveying the surroundings.
Eighteen years later, Tumbledown Alley hasn't changed much from what it is now, but it looks more dilapidated, and many of the dark magic shops on both sides of the street have been replaced by shops selling vampires and witchcraft items. What hasn't changed is the thick dark aura that envelops this alley.
Evan could be sure that several of them seemed suspicious.
Whether it's the way they dress, their demeanor, or their existence itself, they are all incompatible with everything in Tumbledown Alley.
Fortunately, there was an invisibility cloak to cover it, so no one came to look for trouble.
And so, five minutes later, the four of them came to the end of Tumbledown Alley, where the house was closed. The house at the end of the alley is a bar, the Murderer's Bar that Fred just mentioned, which looks like the Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagon Alley, probably from the same period.
But the surrounding environment and atmosphere are much worse than the Leaky Cauldron Bar, the dark doorway can not see the situation inside, but you can smell the strange pungent smell of the bar, it seems to be the smell of alcohol and blood, the identity of customers who can drink in this kind of place can be imagined, no wonder Fred and George come here to find excitement.
"It's over!" Hermione said, "we're definitely missing out with Malfoy." β
"It's strange that he wasn't seen in the shop ahead......" Harry said.
"Let's go back, we've been away for too long. Ron kept looking to the sides.
"What do you think, Aven?" asked Hermione, uncertain
"Meow!" Evan jumped out of Hermione's arms and into the dimly lit gap between the two shops not far away.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other and hurriedly followed, all squeezing in.
In the crack, Aven's body was changing rapidly, and in an instant, he changed, and he said, "You've heard of the underground world of Tumbledown Alley, right? β
"The underworld, I remember Lupin saying that it's an area where werewolves gather......"
"That's right, it's a werewolf colony. "But the underworld isn't just about werewolves, it's also about dark wizards, thieves like Mundungus, liars, and creatures like the house-elves we see in Fred and George's shop, and it's the dark side of the wizarding world." β
"The underworld, the territory of the werewolves, Malfoy. Harry muttered, as if suddenly thinking of something, he raised his voice, "Sure, remember? Malfoy mentioned Fenrir Greyback, and he told Borgin that Greyback was a friend of their family, and he must have come to find the werewolf, it must be so, they were plotting together, maybe Voldemort told the two of them to do something......"
"What would Voldemort tell Malfoy to do?!" Hermione asked rhetorically, "What can he do with Malfoy's abilities?!Harry, you're so suspicious, maybe things aren't as complicated as I thought." β
Harry shook his head, not answering, not yet deciding what to say. He rethought what Malfoy had done, and the smug look on his face as he left the store, and the only thing he knew for sure was that it wasn't a good thing to make Malfoy look so happy.
Now, this matter has something to do with werewolves.
Proud Malfoy and werewolves, what kind of conspiracy are they planning?
"Let's go back, it's too dangerous to be close to the werewolf's territory. Hermione concluded.
The experience of a few years ago is still fresh in her memory, and she has dreamed of terrible werewolves in nightmares countless times.
"I think Hermione was right. Ron rarely agreed, staring at the door of the Murderer's Bar, as if a werewolf would jump out of it in the next second, "Why should we go to Malfoy, think about it, he's only sixteen years old, and the mystery man won't let him do anything unless he's crazy." β
"There's got to be something we don't know about here, Malfoy and the werewolves......" Harry said, turning to look at Aven, "I wanted to take a look at that underworld, Malfoy must be in there." β
"Harry, this so-called underworld is a big place, unlike the dark magic shop just now, if Malfoy does go in, we won't necessarily find him, besides, it's dangerous. Hermione said, "Our most important thing right now is not to investigate what Malfoy did, but to make sure you're safe." β
"Alright, Hermione, it's actually not that dangerous to go in and take a look. Evan said that he was also curious about the underground world, and since he had already come to the entrance, there was no reason not to enter, "The underground world is not only werewolves, nor is it that no one else is allowed to enter. Let's go inside, if Malfoy does go to the Underworld, we'll know what he's going to do if we meet him down there. Of course, the three of you will stay close to me for a while, and if there is really any accident, we will directly phantage and leave. β
As long as Voldemort wasn't down there, Evan felt that it would not be a problem to escape with them with his strength.
Hermione looked at Aven, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything more.
So did Ron, who kept looking at the three of them and finally accepted the decision.
"Okay, what are you going to do?
"You can just walk in, it's not a no-no. Evan said, pulling out four hooded cloaks, "Of course, some necessary precautions are still needed, so that no one else can see what we look like." β
The four of them put on their cloaks, covered themselves tightly, and walked into the Murderer's Bar.
Not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of the size of the interior space of this bar.
But the dΓ©cor was completely different, the walls were painted with dark red paint, but they were unevenly distributed, like clotted blood clots, which looked unpleasant, and the interior of the bar was hung with many dark blue curtains, dividing the room into private areas, each with a small table.
The decoration was originally full of mystery, but now it looks a little disgusting. Because the sanitary condition in the bar is so bad, I don't know how long the curtains have not been washed, they are covered with dust, and the color is so black that it is almost impossible to see the original face, and many of the curtains are crowded with foxes.
The room was dimly lit, with a thick layer of dirt on the windows, and the light from the outside was barely transparent.
The ground and tables were also covered with dust and dirt, as if they hadn't been swept for centuries......
