Tumbledown Alley is a mixed bag, a gray area of the wizarding world, and it's not usually a serious wizard who can set up shop here.

The elder Wiles had been running the grocery store for eleven years, and since he had been exiled from Albania to England, he had met all sorts of people in this filthy alley.

He knows how to deal with every kind of person, who can knock on more, who to be careful with, some officials of the Ministry of Magic have something that is inconvenient for him, he will open the door of convenience, and keep his mouth tightly closed afterwards.

So for so many years, he has been in this alley quite well, although it is not as big as the Bokingbock family next door, but he is also a little famous in the dark wizard circle.

Old Wiles never labeled himself as a good person, and of course he knew that he wouldn't be a good person when he came here, especially in the middle of the night, when the vast majority of those who dared to appear in Diagon Alley had two hands.

Tonight happened to meet such two guests, which made Wiles's heart beat a drum, and he couldn't figure out what it was.

The two men, tall and short, walked into the shop full of skeletons, hands and eyeballs, and all sorts of spiders, centipedes, and snakes, and there was no hint of timidity, and the tall blond young man looked at a cursed magic eye with interest for a long time.

Even old Wiles usually tries to stay away from that eyeball as much as possible, and being stared at fiercely by one eye is not a good experience.

And when the two of them walked in, he immediately saw that the tall man was very young, it was rare for such a young wizard to come on this street, and the young people of London usually went to Hogwarts, and they were more interested in going to Diagon Alley.

Wiles believed that he might be more popular if he opened a shop in Oslo, but Durmstrang's wizards were interested in dark arts, and the school did not prohibit students from studying dark arts.

In any case, looking at the other party's young face, the greed in Wiles's heart began to fluctuate, this kind of inexperienced young man is usually best deceived, and the slightest description of those cursed magic items is terrifying, and they can't wait to buy them.

This is normal, young wizards are usually attracted to the mystery and power of black magic when they come into contact with it.

But the calmness of these two people made Wiles a little unsure, he didn't want to annoy people without figuring out the other party's origins.

Most dark wizards are very vindictive, and they will give a merciless curse to any enemy who offends them, and Wiles doesn't want to make himself the target of a curse.

So he smiled and rubbed his hands together and greeted, "Welcome, welcome - what do you two want?" ”

I'm going to test it out first.

At this moment, next to the tall young man, the short man in the mask spoke

"Do you have lacewings and leeches here? I think I'll need a crucible of pure copper - don't stir it automatically. ”

Old Wiles narrowed, imperceptibly licking his chapped lips with his tongue.

As an experienced old wizard and a shrewd businessman, he could immediately tell that the short, masked man was just a child, and that his immature voice could not be pretended.

Well, now two young people, one seems to be just an adult, and the other may be a minor child, so the fat sent to the door is not slaughtered, what money does he make?

With two dry laughs, Wiles twitched his wrinkled cheeks a few times, and the shriveled skin on them trembled

"Yes...... Yes...... Of course there is...... Let me find ......."

He slowly came out from behind the counter to a row of high shelves, and his heart blossomed with joy as he wondered what price he should sell.

Maybe the two young people are not too rich, or maybe they are the kind of children from a big family, but they are just curious about black magic and want to buy two props to play with?

He turned his back on the two of them and began to rummage through the shelves as he thought, only to hear a muffled spell suddenly come from behind him

"Out of body—"

Wiles felt his body light, the whole person seemed to fly to the sky at once, his vision instantly blurred, everything became hazy, and happiness surrounded him in an instant, and he had never experienced a better moment in his life.

"Why did we use the Imperius Curse on him?"

Pani watched him raise his wand from behind Ning An, aimed it at Old Wiles, and cast the Imperius Curse, a little puzzled, he thought that the two of them would leave after coming here to buy things.

"Because we don't have any money, and we need a place to hide temporarily—"

Ning An replied lightly, and at the same time put away his wand and shouted to the old wizard with a rickety waist in front of him:

"Turn around."

The old wizard stood in place and stopped for a few seconds, until Ning An shouted at him impatiently: "Turn around!" ”

Only then did he honestly turn around and speak respectfully, "What do you command, master?" ”

Ning An tilted his chin and motioned for Pani to lock the door, and then met the old wizard's cloudy gray eyes coldly, and began to flip through the other party's memories.

Although Ning An was good at almost all kinds of magic, if he had to pick one of the best he used, it would be Occlumency.

On the day of Calidora's death, the pain elevated Ning An's Occlumency to a very powerful level, and it is known that people with strong Occlumency are usually excellent Dementors, and Ning An is no exception.

He flipped through the name Andrew? The memories buried in the old wizard's mind of Wiles, when they are easily like flipping through the simple, easy-to-read fairy tales on the bookshelf.

It's just that the difference between the two is that Ning An has to be extra careful in reading at the moment, even if he uses words like "flipping" in the description, but the human heart is not a book after all, how can he read it at will?

Half an hour later

"Go and get out that retractable crucible of sterling silver—" Ning An, who had finished his thoughts, instructed Wiles:

"In addition, there are boiled lacewings and liquid grass...... I thought that replacing the leech's mouthparts with the octopus's venomous jaws might help prolong the potion time, Snape had taught me. ”

Ning An's last sentence was completely self-talking, he hadn't thought of this potions teacher who had been very optimistic about him for a long time, but every time he made potions, all kinds of guidance he had received spurted out of his mind.

"We're going to have to boil the potion out all night, how about it, do you want to be Martin or Allen?" Ning An looked up at Pani, who was hanging a sign with a closed door outside the door.

Lock the door with your backhand, Pani? Starr leaned against the old wooden door, touching his chin and muttering in thought

"Martin is curly and I've always wanted to have curly hair...... But Alan and I are more similar in appearance and taller, and I am used to this height...... You know...... So if it becomes Martin, there may be a gap or something...... Maybe it's more appropriate to become Alan. ”

Ning An didn't continue listening after listening to half of it, he just asked casually, in fact, even she had forgotten the two hairs stored in the small box around her waist, which one was Martin and which one was Allen.

When old Wiles brought all the utensils and utensils he needed, Ning An began to make the compound decoction.

But first of all, it is better to use the Stuna Charm and the Imprisonment Charm to knock out Old Wiles, the effect of the Imperius Curse will weaken with the passage of time, even if it does not weaken so quickly, but if this old man suddenly has any resistance, or just pretending to be controlled just now, it will be troublesome, and Ning An does not like this kind of trouble.

"Alright, Pani, I remember you said you did good potions, right, so you'll be in charge of filing the saltpeter and iron filings."

Ning An felt as if he had returned to his time at Hogwarts, working with Daphne to concoct potions, and even Snape's voice scolding Neville and Harry echoed in his ears.

Looking at the dim oil lamp overhead, Ning An couldn't help but miss Daphne a little again, although she heard Pani say that she was not judged, but it seemed that she had dropped out of Hogwarts, at this moment, what was Daphne doing?

The night was long, and tonight's Tumbledown Alley was no different than ever, and no one knew what was going on in a cramped little grocery store.

It wasn't until the sun rose the next day, and the sun shone through the filthy alley, that Ning An poured the last drop of black viscous mud into the glass vial, and their all-night potion brewing was over.

Fortunately, there were ready-made and preserved lacewings in the store, which saved a lot of time, and seven or eight vials were neatly placed in front of Ning An, and on the other side, Pani also had the same number of glass bottles in front of him, but the liquid medicine in the bottles was earthy yellow.

The potion lasted from twenty minutes to twelve hours, and Ning An believed that the potion he made would last at least six hours, and a few more perfectly prepared bottles could reach nearly ten hours.

It only takes a small sip to transform into six or seven hours, Ning An felt that the amount of these medicines was enough for the time being, so he left a small glass bottle, and the rest were put into a small box around his waist, neatly placed next to the wooden box containing the elixir of life.

"Are we going to drink it now?"

Pani raised a bottle and shook it a few times, he had also made this decoction in the potions class before, but it was not as pure as what he was looking at, and there were no impurities in the liquid mixed together, he was amazed that Ning An also had such a high talent in potion making.

Last night he watched the young wizard brew potions, almost as if he was making a work of art, no wonder Snape thought so highly of him, so much so that almost everyone in Slytherin knew that their head master had a penchant for a freshman.

Ning An answered Pani's question with practical actions, he stripped naked and picked up a small bottle of black potion left outside.

"Hey, hey—do you still want to undress?"

"Or else? Waiting for the deformation to tear your clothes? ”

Ning An ignored Pani, he pulled out the small cork on the mouth of the bottle, and drank a large mouthful of the potion with his head up, the taste was like overcooked cabbage, and after a while, his stomach began to churn violently.

Fortunately, Ning An could still endure this feeling, he felt as if there was magma flowing in his appetite, and this lava melted his whole body, and as this melting sensation spread to every corner of his body, Ning An saw that his hands began to grow.

His fingers stretched and became a little baby fat, his shoulders began to stretch, the joints of his legs and arms bulged out like bolts, his hair, his toes were growing, he didn't even have time to look at the changes in the pani next to him, and then in an instant, it was all over.

Ning An looked down at his body, his originally flat and smooth belly was now bulging fatly, and his beer belly was swaying shyly, and he casually picked up the small round mirror prepared beside him.

His hair turned blonde and sat behind his head, and his chubby face turned into a completely different person.

"Looks like you've got your wish, Pani? I became Martin. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became completely different, it was a thick adult tone, with a hint of oiliness, which was not at all like Ning An's cold tone.

"It's weird to hear you talk like that."

Pani's tone was completely Allen's, low and weak, and he didn't change except for his thin and tall figure. Starr has nothing in common anymore.

"Look, this is the benefit of becoming a person who is similar to his own body, and the original clothes can continue to be worn-" Pani put on his clothes, the size was just right, and Ning An had to admit that he was right.

Because his current body can't wear the clothes he used to wear at all.

Fortunately, old Wiles is also an adult wizard, although he has lost a little weight and his waist is a little stiff, but if he wears a wide wizard's robe, he may be able to barely do it.

Putting away the clothes he had been wearing in the small box, Ning An began to rummage through the wizard's robes for Wiles, while Parney leisurely wandered around the hut, he had been interested in these strange and evil looking magic items.

"Where do we go next?" While looking at the props, Parney asked about an unrelated topic.

"To go to the World Cup, don't forget that we still have tickets."

Ning An finally found a black robe that he could wear, and was laboriously putting it on his body.

"I don't remember you still like Quidditch? I've never seen you cheer on Slytherin at Hogwarts—"

"Who said we were going to the game?"

"Huh?"

Pani looked away from a bloodstained stone dagger and turned his head to look at Ning'an.

"What do you think of Laurel? Will Lanz not be able to get a ticket to the Quidditch World Cup? Ning An finally put on his robe, and after straightening the corners of his clothes, he stood still, calmly looking at Pani.

"You mean ......"

"Everybody loves Quidditch, and Laurel won't miss this World Cup—" Ning An scratched the blonde hair on top of his head, he was still a little uncomfortable with the feeling of this hair clinging to his scalp.

But he quickly let go of this unpleasant feeling, stared at Pani, and said coldly:

"Let's go to her, settle the account of betrayal with her, and avenge Samantha by the way."

Ning An still remembered that in the secret room, it was Laurel's stun spell that knocked Samantha down.

"And what about this guy?" Parney gestured to old Wiles, who was imprisoned in a coma and soul-snatcher.

"I have a solution once and for all." Ning An drew his wand and aimed it at the wizard who was still unconscious on the ground

"Avada Suo—"
