Chapter 3: A Chance Encounter in Tumbledown Alley
Mr. Borgin suddenly stopped talking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because he found that the child in front of him seemed to be much stranger than he imagined, well.
What kind of family will it be to be able to raise such a pampered character?
When Mr. Borgin saw Benjamin put down the jar, he said, "Son, didn't your family come with you? I think you must be a Hogwarts student, and you came here today to buy textbooks and study supplies." ”
Benjamin glanced up at Mr. Borgin and couldn't understand why this boss was so annoying.
Can't he just let himself take a good look at things for a while?
"My parents were so busy. As for where I'm a student, I don't think it has anything to do with you. Benjamin said coldly, he suddenly remembered something, pointed to his bulging wallet and said, "If you are worried that I have no money, then you can rest assured." ”
After all, Mr. Borgin is still a businessman, though not very serious. Seeing that Benjamin wasn't here to make trouble, but was checking things very seriously, he shut his mouth and went back to the back of the counter.
I can only complain that children have become more and more eccentric over the years.
At this time, Benjamin had taken a fancy to a box of very strange plants.
Although it says the name of the plant: scavenging herb, Benjamin is not clear about what it is for. But from the perception of a necromancer, he thought that this thing might have an unexpected effect when refining the lich.
Just as Benjamin was about to check out, two more men walked into the store.
The main thing was that behind Benjamin, in the same fireplace where he had come, there was another noise.
Could it be another unlucky guy who, like him, mispronounced the word?
It's just that Benjamin doesn't have the time to pay attention to what that unlucky guy looks like.
Because the two people who walked into the store now turned out to be Benjamin's acquaintances.
Draco and his father, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, appeared before Benjamin.
At this point, Benjamin didn't have to dodge, he walked up to Draco generously, and then gave him a hug under Mr. Borgin's slightly surprised gaze.
As for the reason, of course, Benjamin found that this kind of normal intimate action between classmates would make this platinum nobleman very uncomfortable.
"Draco, long time no see. I'm getting ready to meet you at the Blotted bookstore. Benjamin said calmly, yes, he had clearly set the meeting place in his letter, the Blotted bookstore.
Draco's ears were still a little red, and he nodded awkwardly, "I'm going to go in a moment, of course, I'm with my father right now." ”
Benjamin, of course, knew Lucius, and he immediately saluted Lucius very politely, and then said, "Mr. Malfoy, it's an honor to meet you." ”
Lucius's smile doesn't show that you mean it sincerely, but it makes you very comfortable.
"Hello Benjamin, you look a little taller than the last time you saw you. Of course, this summer, Draco has been chanting your name. (Draco tugs at his father's sleeve, and Mr. Borgin's mouth is ready for a ping-pong ball) Of course, he's just not convinced that you took the first place in the grade. ”
Benjamin shrugged, "This, it only shows that I was lucky." ”
Lucius shook his head slightly, "He really doesn't work very hard, I don't care if I lose to you, but losing to a girl from a Muggle family is too disappointing for me." Lucius smiled again at this time, "By the way, you came here alone today?"
"Yes, sir. "Benjamin still didn't say anything about Floo fans after all, because it was too embarrassing.
"No wonder, I'll just say Duke, how could he let you come to such a place. When you get back, please say hello to your parents on my behalf. ”
Benjamin immediately agreed.
Mr. Borgin, who had been left to the side, did not seem to complain, but put on a smiling face and said to Lucius, "Mr. Malfoy, it really excites me to see you in person again. And Master Malfoy, welcome. Mr. Borgin glanced at Benjamin, who was chattering with Draco on the side, "Is this the young master of the Ludwig family? ”
Benjamin saw the rickety store manager bending over him, and immediately waved his hand, he didn't expect his family to be so famous in England.
Lucius was chatting with Mr. Borgin while Benjamin listened to Draco's complaints.
"How the hell did you find here, you know, this is Tumbledown Alley! When my father brought me here, I thought he was going to buy him a present, here. Who knew he told me to give me a broom, Merlin's beard, I wasn't on the varsity team at all, what broom was needed. Besides, the one you gave me was pretty good. ”
Benjamin didn't pay attention to Draco's babbling, but grabbed the key word and Tumbledown Alley.
"This is Tumbledown Alley, the place where the legend is full of dark wizards?"
"You must have heard that the ministry has stepped up its inspection. Mr. Malfoy said, pulling out a roll of parchment from the inside pocket of his coat and unfolding it for Mr. Borgin. "I've got some -- ah-- things in my house that might be inconvenient to me, if the ministry comes..."
Mr. Borgin put on a pair of sniffle glasses and looked down at the list. "I don't think the ministry will bother you, sir?"
Mr. Malfoy pouted. "Haven't been here yet. Malfoy's name still has a bit of prestige, but the ministry is getting more and more nosy. It is said that a new \
