No.7 Sword Ace (Reversed)

So this chapter ...... I don't need to say more to know which of the big black dogs that popped up is one of the HP generations...... Right?

Although it is said that in the original plot, this guy will come out for a year, but I will try my best to round the whole thing, everyone can rest assured.

By the way: a loyal dog has been restrained by a certain future person since his student days, and he can't completely turn over.

==========================================

Sword Ace (reversed): An embarrassing situation.

、

England, Wizard Street, Tumbledown Alley

、

Reputting his hood back on, Opal turned and walked into Tumbledown Alley and looked around, seeing that it was lined with shops selling dark magic items.

Just to the left of Opal, in front of a shop selling poisoned candles, hangs an old wooden street sign with the name of Tumbledown Alley written on it in paint that is no longer recognizable in its original color.

In a dark doorway, two ragged wizards were watching her whisper, but when Opal turned his gaze and seemed to notice the badge on her chest that held her cloak, the two wizards immediately stopped talking, lowered their heads, and turned away.

Opal couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Although it is true that the other badge on her body is the family coat of arms of "Cappadocia", she does not think that the family in Germany has such influence even in England.

"Are you lost, my dear ......?"

At this time, a low, gloomy voice sounded from her other side.

When I looked sideways, an old witch was coming out of the doorway on the other side, holding in her hand what resembled a whole piece of a dead man's fingernails.

"Need something nice?"

The old witch's pleated face gave a malicious look, and then she cracked her mouth at Opal, revealing teeth that seemed to have blue moss.

Opalmer silently took a slight step back, then raised a hand and pressed it down with an unrethinkable speed following the old witch's hand over the saucer. The other hand took the saucer, brought it to his nose and sniffed it.

[The heat is not mastered, these locust seeds are a little burnt.] ]

After commenting like this, Opal put the dish back into the old witch's hand with a relaxed expression, and then smiled at her, [Next time you eat the locust seed, remember to drink some salt water first, so that your teeth will not become so ugly.] ]

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The old witch glanced at Opal in a bit of a daze, then grinned again, "The little girl is good." First time here? ”

[yes.] Need to buy something. ]

Because he didn't feel malice, and at the same time noticed that with the old witch's words, there were some things around him that "knew about Soso's" footsteps, Opal also relaxed his nerves a little. Bock) how to get around? ]

"You have a good background, but it's better to be careful here."

As she said this, she didn't see the old witch make any moves, and the dish disappeared into her sleeve, and then she pointed to the depths of the alley, "Old Bojin's shop continues a little further along here, and my old bones will not lead the way." ”

[Okay, thanks.] ]

Nodding politely, Opal walked past the old witch and walked inside.

Sister Qianwei is right, there is a reason why Tumbledown Alley has been able to exist on Diagon Alley for so long.

The magic fluctuation on the old witch's body just now was definitely stronger than the average magic level of the professors in Hogwarts by about 20%, and she would be restrained by her wrist, all because she was lucky to make a move without warning.

If it's really hostile, it's estimated that the three of them together won't be enough to fight.

Fortunately......

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead without a trace, and walking in the direction pointed by the old witch, Opal found his target, "Bogin Bock", who was located in front of a shop with some obscene human heads displayed in the window.

After taking a look at the shabby exterior of the shop with a not-over-critical gaze, Opal rolled his eyes and walked in.

The store is not very large, but there are many products on display.

The first thing to do is to see a counter with an unknown merchandise on it, which is not very clear because of the dim light, a black cabinet in the right corner of the room, and a large and dim stone fireplace on the other side, and on the display case extending from the wall, on a mat in a glass case, there is a withered human hand, a stack of bloodstained cards, and a dull glass eyeball.

Hideous masks peered down the walls, the counters were filled with the skeletons of various humanoids, rusty toothed instruments hung from the ceiling, and slender ropes hung everywhere, like spiders' webs.

After looking around for a week and seeing no one in sight, Opal raised an eyebrow, and finally his eyes fell on a rattle on the counter, so he walked over and shook it gently.

"Welcome."

A man who seemed to float out of the shadows appeared at the counter hunched over, combing his dangling, oily hair with his hands repeatedly.

[This is an order placed last month.] ]

After putting the list on the counter, Opal glanced at him, [I guess it should have arrived by now, right?] Mr. Borgin. ]

"I'll see...... Cappadocia ......"

After seeing the family coat of arms at the top of the list, Bo Jin sighed in a greasy voice that was exactly the same as his own image, "I didn't expect the German family to start to put their hands in the British range." ”

[This kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.] ]

After throwing a small money bag embroidered with a heraldic pattern on the counter, Opal did not take off the hood of his face, [pay the money, give the goods.] I believe that your credibility as an intermediary is still guaranteed. ]

"That's nature. After all, credibility is something that we can stand on as businessmen, isn't it? ”

Seemingly not annoyed by the thorn in Opal's words, Bo Jin bent down and dragged out a large box two meters long, one meter wide and half a meter high from under the counter, which should be very small, "Everything on the list is here." Should you say good luck or what? The Ministry of Magic has been going on some interesting clean-up lately, and thanks to this list, it's easy to collect all the items on this list. Otherwise, it will take at least another two or three months. ”

[Of course I know that.] Otherwise, it will not be limited to say that it will come and pick up the goods in a month. ]

After tapping lightly on the countertop, Opal walked to the edge of the box, glanced at the black cabinet in the corner, and frowned slightly.

But she didn't say anything more, just opened the box and checked the contents.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of things to make an appointment."

By the time Opal had bent down to count the goods, Bokin had already opened the purse she had dropped on the ghost's face, and poured out dozens of rough unprocessed jewels from it and examined them.

[Your follow-up cleanup doesn't seem to have been done well, and many of the things here still bear the special imprint of the family they originally belonged to.] ]

Taking out a delicate vial from the box, but containing a dull cyan liquid, Opal shook it and turned to Bogin, [This bottle was taken from the Malfoy family, right?] Won't there be any follow-up trouble? ]

"There's no need to worry about that."

"Actually, as I said before, if it weren't for the recent sweep by the Ministry of Magic, we wouldn't have been able to collect all of the cargo so quickly. This actually helped Mr. Malfoy solve some minor problems. What do you mean by that...... To each his own, doesn't he? ”

[I just wonder if there will be any follow-up trouble with these things...... After all, if it does happen, it will be quite a bad thing for you as an intermediary, isn't it? ]

After placing the liquid back in the box and closing the lid, Opal's gaze returned to the counter, [hmm...... Can you show me the opal necklace? ]

"Do you mean that?"

Bokin quickly followed Opal's gaze to an infancy opal necklace in the display caseβ€”next to this necklace, there was a small sign that read, "Beware: Do not touch, it has been spelled - it has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles".

[Yes.] ]

Opal noticed this necklace because he found that the style of the pendant of this necklace was very similar to the opal bracelet he had brought up since childhood.

"Oooh...... I wouldn't advise you to take this thing, young lady. ”

However, to Opar's surprise, Bokin did not seem to have any intention of selling the product, "In fact, I put it out as a gimmick, but I was not ready to sell it." ”

[What's the story of this necklace?] ]

After sweeping his gaze away from the phrase "has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles", Opal turned his gaze back to the buckle of the necklace - and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was supposed to be the same style as his own opal bracelet.

The difference, though, is that her opal bracelet looks very good because of proper care, while this opal necklace looks dull after a long period of time.

"Actually, I don't know."

However, it is clear that Borgin was not interested in selling the necklace, and even lowered his tone a few degrees, "It is rumored that this necklace was leaked from the Death Eaters after the 'mystery man' was defeated by our savior. Since then, he has been moving around the Muggle world, claiming the lives of several Muggles in just five years. Later, after the necklace was brought back to the wizarding world by a wizard, the unlucky man had just died in a conflict between the Aurors and the Death Eaters, and the necklace came to me. ”

"How many?"

Opal pointed to the "Nineteen" on the sign, and although his face was still hidden in the shadow of the hood, the feeling of doubt was palpable.

"Aha, you know, some things always have to be exaggerated to be more appealing, don't they?"

In response to Opal's question, Bokin shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly and squeezed his eyes at her, "There is a theory that this death curse was created by the 'mystery man' to prevent his things from being coveted by others. So to avoid trouble, I don't recommend it. ”

[How to sell?] ]

But Opal didn't pay attention to Bogin's words, she touched the opal bracelet on her wrist and made up her mind.

"So...... Hey? Do you really want to buy it?! ”

Obviously, he didn't expect Opal to plan to buy this necklace after hearing that it was related to Voldemort, but Bokin's voice was cut off instantly, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed, "Young people now, ......"

[If you don't want to sell it, don't put it out.] ]

It should be about the same time to look at the potion, so Opal didn't say anything long-winded, but just asked what he wanted to ask, [Now that it's out, you have to be prepared to be asked.] Don't open your mouth, what trouble does this necklace represent, I think you and I know it very well...... Isn't it? ]

"Okay, okay...... I didn't expect that this time the person from the bat family turned out to be a little girl like you. ”

Bo Jin, who seemed to want to say something more, spread his hand again and shrugged his shoulders, "Three rough stones of the same quality, you can take it away." ”

[You go straight to the math.] One at most, or three sub-quality. ]

"The purchase price alone is more than that, you also let me earn a little bit!"

[It's obviously something you got without capital, and you're embarrassed to negotiate the purchase price with me?] ]

With a distinct sneer in his voice, Opal removed the necklace, [judging by the bloodstains, this necklace won't be in your hands for more than ten days, and I was present at the Auror-Death Eaters clash thirteen days ago.] Mr. Brookin...... I'm already very generous at the price of dead man's money. ]

Opal wasn't involved, of course, but she made clever use of the information she had received from the magical plants in the shop.

"Oh! Damn it! Why are even the bat families involved? ”

Bo Jin cursed in a low voice, and finally waved his hand, "In this case, I don't have anything to say, take a rough stone of the same quality." ”

[Happy cooperation.] ]

After taking out another rough stone, Opal tucked the necklace under the cloak, and pointed to the closed box, and the large black cabinet in the corner of the room, [It's still the old rule, someone will come and deliver it later, please take care of everything we have designated until then.] ]

"It's nature."

With that, Borgin dragged the box back under the counter, and Opal turned to leave the shop after retracting his gaze from the black cabinet.

However, after leaving "Borgin Bock", Opal did not rush to leave Tumbledown Alley, but stood not far from the store and waited for a while.

In fact, Opal didn't wait long, and within five minutes, Harry, who looked embarrassed with a pair of broken glasses, came out of the shop with a cat on his back.

However, it was clear that he was frightened by the environment in the Tumbledown Alley, looking left and right like headless flies, but he could not find the right direction - this situation made Opal, who had only planned to pay a little attention to Harry's condition, a little helpless.

[Looks like you need help.] ]

So Opal sighed, and then half-lifted his hood and walked up.

"Opal?! It's so good to have met you here, can you take me out of this hellish place! ”

Although it was strange why he heard a familiar voice in such an unfamiliar place, Harry was still glad to meet an acquaintance, and as he spoke, he turned his head in the direction from which the sound came from, and he immediately realized that he seemed to have recognized the wrong person, "Uh, sorry ma'am, I thought ......"

[Looks like you know my daughter.] ]

Opal, on the other hand, smiled and said with a calm expression, [How is Opal doing at Hogwarts?] ]

"Huh? Opal is your daughter?! ”

Harry was visibly stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes as if trying to see the man in front of him - in fact, he thought it was Opal because of that particular voice.

[I'd love to talk to you more about my daughter's situation, but ......]

Raising his hand and touching Harry's glasses, Harry's glasses were repaired with a silent mantra "Reparo", followed by a "Scourgify" to help him clean the ashes from his body.

After doing this, Opal crossed him to the exit of Tumbledown Alley, [Come with me, Tumbledown Alley is not a place for underage wizards.] ]

"Ah...... Uh, thanks! ”

Pressing his glasses, Harry immediately thanked and followed after confirming that the man in front of him looked very similar to his classmate's, or an adult version of Opal.

Thankfully, he can finally get out of this damn place.

But Opal's pace was quick, and Harry followed her almost all the way through the winding alleys, and then suddenly it dawned on him that he saw a familiar snow-white marble building: Gringotts.

"Ah, thank you so much...... Hey? ”

After being hit by the crowd in Diagon Alley, Harry came to his senses and thanked the man who had brought him out, but when he came to his senses, he found that he couldn't find the lady who had helped him.

I haven't had time to say thank you yet......

Harry thought with regret.

However, Opal ...... Whether it's temperament or appearance, it's really similar to her mother! If only she were a Gryffindor, she would be able to speak normally......

"Harry! What are you doing here? ”

Just as Harry was staring into Tumbledown Alley in a daze, a loud voice rang out.

Looking back, Harry saw that it was Hagrid, the burly forest keeper, striding towards him, his beetle-black eyes shining above his beard, "Why don't you keep replying to me?" ”

"Huh? Letter?! ”

Harry froze for a moment, then reacted, "That's ......"

……

Luckily, she was fast enough to almost get out of the way.

On the other hand, Opal, who had finally found the same clothing store where he had changed his clothes before the effect wore off, smiled when he came out and saw the circle of people surrounding Harry.

She didn't have anything to do with the rest of the matter, so hurry to Flourish.and. Blotts and meet up with Draco - or Draco would be rambling again.

"Wow!"

As Opal walked around the square and down an alley to the Blotted Bookstore, he suddenly heard a very fierce barking of dogs.

Well? It's ......

Opal turned his gaze.

Then she saw two staff members dressed in pet store costumes, working together to suppress a huge shaggy black dog.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Opal always felt that the moment he looked at the black giant dog, he could see the excitement and embarrassment in its expression.

Is it the same magical pet as Nagini?

It's funny.
