A pure-blood wizard family with deep pockets like the Malfoy family, in addition to a legitimate property that can be put on the bright side, naturally has some gray income and buys a few shops in Tumbledown Alley.

No way.

Who made the gray income from Tumbledown Alley staggeringly profitable?

As the saying goes, there is no buying, there is no killing.

Many of the wizards' needs for studying magic are not available in Diagon Alley.

For example, the famous British wizarding world, he wants to develop an antidote to the basilisk venom, and he needs a certain dose of basilisk venom for research, but because he can't buy basilisk venom in Diagon Alley, he has to give up the idea of developing an antidote?

Necessarily impossible.

Thereupon.

In order to develop the idea of an antidote, he can only travel to Tumbledown Alley to find a source of goods, from where he buys basilisk venom, which the Ministry of Magic defines as a prohibited item, at a high price.

It's like a human trafficking business in Tumbledown Alley.

It is true that some wizards have special hobbies, and they can't find friends for daily communication in the usual way, so they can only buy them at a high price in Tumbledown Alley.

However, the vast majority of human trafficking businesses in Tumbledown Alley tend to be dumped against wizards who need materials for experimentation.

After all.

It can be seen from Louie's advanced transfiguration charm and the speed at which the soul splitting experiment consumes lizardmen, that the loss of experimental materials for many magic experiments is extremely staggering.

And those shops that have been set up in Tumbledown Alley through pure-blood wizard families must not be managed by the head of a pure-blood wizard family, they are afraid of staining their hands and being targeted by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, so they will select some suitable spokespersons to manage the property of Tumbledown Alley.

Andre.

A wizard from a Muggle family.

After graduating from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he worked for the Malfoy family, and was a slave of Lucius Malfoy, just like Dobby, the house-elf.

Daily communication between the two is minimal.

Basically, we only see each other once every six months.

Moreover, every time the two met secretly, Lucius Malfoy rarely spoke, remained silent, and after listening to Andre's report on half a year's account income, he ran to Gringotts with the Galleon that belonged to the Malfoy family.

Therefore, Lucius Malfoy's sudden letter from André was very surprising.

Not to mention

Andre sent an invitation from Tumbledown Alley.

The number of words on the invitation letter is very small.

There was not even a mention of Lucius Malfoy, or André's name, and it was more like proof of attending a secret meeting than a relatively formal invitation.

Just a few seconds later.

After reading the contents of the invitation, Lucius Malfoy frowned slightly, and for a while he was a little undecided, whether to go to Tumbledown Alley tonight to attend this secret gathering.

At this time, Narcissa, who came to the living room, saw him with a sad brow, and her face was full of love, and she stepped forward and asked softly:

"Honey, it looks like you're worried about something, I don't think you're in the mood to have afternoon tea with me."

"No, how could it be?"

Lucius Malfoy smiled and shook his head, saying, "Narcissa, it's impossible for me to miss every good time having afternoon tea with you. ”

"Did you call Draco along?"

"Nope."

Narcissa sighed helplessly, "You know, he needs to finish his Muggle assignments before he can rest, and maybe dinner will be eaten in the study." ”

"That's a shame"

Lucius Malfoy smiled at the corners of his mouth, then hesitated for a moment, handed the invitation to Narcissa, and asked, "Narcissa, what do you think about this?" ”

"An invitation from Tumbledown Alley?"

"That's right, it was sent by Andre, I'm not sure if I want to go, I want to hear your advice."

"My advice?"

After hurriedly reading the contents of the invitation, Narcissa pondered for a moment and said, "Honey, remember the loss we suffered in Tumbledown Alley some time ago? ”

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lucius Malfoy said, "You mean that the wizard with a mysterious identity inexplicably cleaned up Tumbledown Alley on behalf of the Ministry of Magic?" ”

"That's right."

Narcissa nodded, "He spent at least tens of thousands of Galleons in the Borgin-Bock Magic Shop, and unfortunately Mr. Borgin was never a reliable businessman. ”

"According to the clues provided by Mr. Bogin, since we can all know that the mysterious wizard is codenamed "Mr. J", the waste from Tumbledown Alley can be used to buy Mr. Bokin with Garene, pry open his mouth, and find out when Mr. J went to Tumbledown Alley to collect the goods again. ”

"So you mean to say"

Lucius Malfoy frowned, "It's likely that those idiots in Tumbledown Alley want to form an alliance and discuss how to deal with that Mr. J?" ”

"Uh-huh, otherwise how could Andre have forwarded the invitation to you?"

Sitting on the sofa opposite, Narcissa smiled and said, "I think Andre is asking what you mean, after all, he is only the nominal owner of those shops." ”

"I don't want to get out of the way."

Taking a deep breath, Lucius Malfoy said, "I heard that Mr. J went to Tumbledown Alley for the first time, let alone solved nearly a hundred wizards, he is not something that the idiots in Tumbledown Alley can deal with. ”

"You're right, dear."

"But"

As she spoke, Narcissa paused for a few seconds before she said meaningfully, "I remember that Grindelwald's heirs promised that you would become the man of the wizarding king in the future. ”

"But if we let Mr. J continue"

"My dear, you know far more than I do, how many wizards are there in the whole of Britain?"

As soon as Narcissa finished speaking, a grim look flashed in Lucius Malfoy's eyes.

Obviously.

Lucius Malfoy thought she was right.

How many wizards are there in the entire wizarding world?

You must know that when the second generation of the Dark Lord Voldemort started the wizarding war, the total number of wizards participating in the war was not as large as that of a village in the foodie country.

What about the mysterious wizard codenamed Mr. J?

He went to Tumbledown Alley and solved nearly a hundred wizards at one time, which is definitely not a small number in the entire wizarding world.

So, thanks to Narcissa's reminder at this time, Lucius Malfoy deeply understood the crux of the problem, that is

There are really not many people left for him to rule over the wizard king

Other than that.

Mr. J, who is difficult for the group of waste wizards in the heart to overturn alley, is simply not the opponent of the legendary triumvirate of the distillery

Think about it again, and think that you have dozens of werewolves under your command

Afraid of a hammer?

So.

In the evening.

Lucius Malfoy, dressed in a black robe and concealed with a hood, was led by Andre, a slave of the Malfoy family, and went to the Fall Alley League meeting with an invitation in hand.

The gathering.

What the Tumbledown Alley Alliance is trying to negotiate is simple.

In one sentence, it is

"Mr. J must die!"
