Diagon Alley, the busiest shopping street in the entire wizarding world of England, is also a place where many wizards buy books, materials, and necessities.

As the start of the Hogwarts school year approaches, countless parents can be seen walking through the streets with their children, and from time to time there will erupt in exclamations and laughter, making the already noisy environment even more noisy, and no one will notice that two uninvited guests have just left Tumbledown Alley and appeared in front of a shop across a small road.

"This is Diagon Alley?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the chaotic scene around him.

"That's right! Generally speaking, if you want to buy something, you'll find it here. But if it's not very legal, you'll need to go to the Tumbledown Alley next door to bang your luck. Normally, Bogin Bock never disappoints, provided that his never-ending greed is satisfied. Lucius replied in a low voice.

"Greed is not a bad thing, at least it can arouse a person's self-motivation and make him unwilling to live an ordinary life. You know? There is nothing sadder and more regrettable than living a life of mediocrity. Zhang Cheng turned around and gave the other party a meaningful look.

Lucius seemed to sense something, and hurriedly avoided lowering his head and echoed, "I completely agree with your point of view. ”

"Okay, don't follow me all the time, go find your son, I want to wander around by myself for the rest of the time. Zhang Cheng waved his hand to signal that the other party could leave.

He didn't have to ask to know that what he was going to do next didn't want anyone to find out.

"Are you sure? There are quite a few people from the Ministry of Magic here, and I can help you settle them. Lucius asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, let's not worry about whether they can find out what I look like, with the poor manpower of the Ministry of Magic, even if they go together, they are no match for me. ”

When he said this, Zhang Cheng did not hide his contemptuous attitude, and then walked directly through the crowd into a place where pets were sold.

When a clerk saw a customer coming in, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Hello, sir, what do you want to buy?" We have all kinds of magical animals here, not only for wizards to be worthy of new companions, but also for rare good helpers, guaranteed to make you satisfied." ”

"I'm going to take a look before I decide. Zhang Cheng touched his chin and deliberately pretended to be hesitant.

Obviously, the seemingly ordinary animals in this shop are actually special mutants affected by magic, and not only have extremely high intelligence, but also have some spell-like abilities.

You must know that wizards are a very picky group, so they will not raise ordinary creatures that are so clumsy that they can't even understand orders.

But he was very puzzled by what kind of methods these wizards used to cultivate magical pets, and how to ensure that they would not fall into the hands of ordinary people.

"Of course, please take your time and call me if you need to. The clerk seemed to have seen a lot of similar situations, smiled and nodded, and went to greet the other customers.

Seeing the other party completely walk away, Zhang Cheng raised his left hand and released a faint arcane energy to envelop the entire pet shop, testing each animal's reaction to his magic power one by one.

But unfortunately, these little ones are too weak to perceive the energy that is close at hand.

Just when he began to feel a little disappointed, a sable in the corner of the wall that had been dozing off with its eyes closed suddenly opened its eyes, sniffing the air around it, and let out a cooing sound.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng immediately shouted at the clerk not far away: "I'll buy that mink! ”

"You've made your choice so quickly?" said the clerk, with a surprised look on his face, as he motioned for his colleague to fetch a small cage and pack the white mink.

Just as Zhang Cheng was about to say something, he suddenly heard an exclamation from Waiman, followed by piercing screams and shouts that echoed over the entire street.

"Beat him, Daddy!"

"Don't do that, Arthur, don't do that!"

"Gentlemen, all right, stop fighting!"

......

Following the direction of the sound, he soon saw a large number of people in a store not far away with a sign of "Blotted Bookstore", two adult men were waving their fists and beating each other in the most primitive and exciting way, as if they had completely forgotten their identity as a wizard.

One of them was none other than Lucius Malfoy, who had only recently separated, and the other slightly blessed guy knew 100 percent Arthur Weasley without asking.

Combined with the location of the fight, as well as Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing party, it is not difficult to guess the current point in time, when the secret room of the second semester opens.

Looking at the slightly thin boy with glasses at the back of the crowd, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Aha! I finally see you, the famous Harry Potter." ”

"Sir, your pet. ”

"Thank you!"

Throwing two gold gallons to the other party, he quickly left the pet shop, and while everyone's attention was attracted by the fight, he quietly came to the boy's side, and reached out to touch the soul fragment hidden inside the lightning scar on his forehead.

In just a moment!

He understood how powerful and terrifying this necromantic magic was.

By tearing apart one's own soul, memory, and personality, to create or clone another self is simply a genius idea.

However, the corresponding costs are also very obvious, especially the instability caused by the severing of the soul, which will have a series of unpredictable effects on personality, behavior, and habits.

Before Zhang Cheng could figure out if this way of pursuing immortality was similar to Faust, the half-giant Hagrid finally arrived, rushed into the crowd with brute force, and forcibly separated the two people who were fighting.

"Damn! Looks like I'm going to have to get out first. Zhang Cheng sighed helplessly, and hid in the crowd to watch the Weasleys leave with Harry Potter.

After watching the lively crowd gradually disperse, he came to Lucius's side and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to do this?"

"What?" Lucius tried to play dumb and foolish.

"The diary! the Dark Lord's diary! Don't think I didn't see it, you shoved it into the Weasleys' little daughter's hand. Zhang Cheng bluntly exposed the little secret in the other party's heart.

When Lucius heard this plan, his face changed several times in an instant, and finally showed a bitter smile: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes, does it?"

"I'm waiting for your explanation!"

"It's easy! I want to remove Dumbledore from the Headmaster of Hogwarts. He's held power for too long, and he's always tried to suppress us pure-blood nobles. Now, many families have expressed their dissatisfaction, and I just pushed it ......"
