Chapter 133: Tumbling Alley

Charon's gift to Harry was a necromantic amulet with a necromantic spell called "Environmental Detection", which was perfect for him when he found that the dark aura would heat up an alarm.

What was given to Ron was very simple, two vials of the Bone Strengthening Pill, he didn't dare to accept the Necromancy Talisman, it was better to send medicine.

It's not difficult to give Hermione a gift, six Zhuyan Pills. Of course, Hermione wouldn't need it, but it was a perfect gift for her mother. Once a month, one capsule at a time, after half a year, you will be ten years younger.

As soon as Charon arrived home, he received a warm welcome from the whole family, especially the mother, who hugged her son and cried out for her baby with tears in her eyes. Charon was embarrassed to break free from his mother's arms and accept his father's embrace. Everyone sat down around Xia Yi and listened to him tell interesting stories about the school.

Charon tells interesting and safe stories about Hogwarts, such as the three-headed dog Luffie, making potions, meeting new people, and so on. The parents were happiest to hear that Charon had made a lot of good friends, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Ron Weasley, and so on. This is far better than his father Aiagos!

On the cheerful Christmas Eve, a small but warm dinner party was held at home. After the feast, Charon took out the gifts he had given to Hermione, Harry, Ron, Hagrid, Neville, and the others, and called out to his great raven, Blackie, and hung them on Blackie, so that he could set off overnight. Xiao Hei quacked, very dissatisfied with sending so many things in the middle of the night, Xia Yi had to feed it a strong pill to make it set off satisfied.

The next morning, Charon opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by gifts from his father and mother. Mom knitted sweaters, socks and all kinds of candy snacks, and my father gave me gold Galleon pocket money, self-defense daggers and spell casting materials.

When it was time for breakfast, Charon heard the cooing of owls outside, and he opened the skylight, and the owls flew in eagerly, throwing down one package after another, and then eagerly begging for meat sticks and tips.

Charon hurriedly asked the elf Hull to help him get the beef in the kitchen, while he rummaged through his bag for his coppernut. By the time Hull came up with a large plate of beef, Charon was surrounded by impatient owls, cooing and trying to grab his fingers.

Charon fed the owls one by one, and put a few copper nates in their pockets as tips, and the owls flew away one by one with their heads held high.

When her mother, Lisa, saw this scene and was so happy that she almost burst into tears. The people of the Shafiq family have never had such a spectacular scene of receiving gifts.

The owl was gone, and Lisa urged Charon to hurry up and open the present, and she was really looking forward to what her son's friend would bring him for Christmas.

The first thing Charon opened was Hermione's gift, and before he could unwrap it, he knew it was a book. Sure enough, this is an "Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures", and Hermione knows that Charon likes magical creatures very much, so she saved up money to buy him such a book. Charon took it in his hand, and he felt quite warm in his heart.

Hagrid's gift was a pair of gloves, which were not ordinary gloves, but were made of the fur of magical creatures, which could withstand high temperatures, and were best suited for Charon pharmaceuticals.

Harry's gift was a delicate magical belt with a Traceless Space Extension Charm on it, which was able to hold some of the most commonly used small items, and was really useful.

Ron was tight-handed, and his gift was shabby, a set of used second-hand magic chess, but Charon liked it too.

In addition, Charon received a large pile of candy, magic props, gloves, socks, and the like. Even Headmaster Dumbledore sent him a new hat with a strange style. This style is only worn by people during cosplay.

Charon opened the gift, his heart was warm, it was rare to have so many good friends who remembered him and tried his best to pick a gift for himself.

After breakfast, his father, Aiagos, urged Charon to clean up quickly, and he was going to take Charon to Tumbledown Alley for shopping today.

As its name suggests, Tumbledown Alley is a dangerous and dark place. Tumbledown Alley is adjacent to Diagon Alley, a mix of dragons and snakes, which is despised by most wizards. The alley is filled with dark magic shops, the largest of which is the "Borgin Burke Wizardry", which houses the Vanishing Cabinet that leads to the Hogwarts Room of Requirement, as well as shops selling shrunken heads, giant black spiders, withered human hands, and poisoned candles. The name "Koncktum Alley" is a homomorphic version of "nocturnally".

Necromancers buy bones and spell-casting materials, naturally they can't find anything good in Diagon Alley, and they want to go to a dark wizard market like Tumbledown Alley, of course, the notoriety of Tumbledown Alley is nothing to his father Aiagos, as the only adult necromancer in the Shafiq family, he has been to darker and more dangerous markets, and Tumbledown Alley is the kindest place.

The way to get there was still Floo Powder, and after a dizzy spinning teleportation, Charon appeared in front of the stone fireplace of a spacious, dimly lit wizard's shop, and was warily pulled by his father, Aiagos.

Charon looked around, and it seemed that none of the things here were likely to be on the shopping list at Hogwarts School.

On a mat in a glass case next to it was a withered human hand, a stack of bloodstained cards, and a dull glass eyeball. Hideous masks peer down the walls, various human bones lay on the counters, and rusty, tooth-like instruments hung from the ceiling. The dark, narrow alley outside the dusty shop windows is Tumbledown Alley.

Aiagos lazily looked at the items on display, rang the bell on the counter, and then turned to his son and said, "Don't touch anything, Charon." ”

Charon was about to reach out and touch the glass eyeball, but quickly withdrew his hand.

A hunched man appeared behind the counter, his hand running back his shiny hair. The shopkeeper was obviously an old acquaintance of Aiagos, and greeted him very warmly as soon as they met.

"Mr. Shafiq, it is a pleasure to see you again." "It's a great honor—and Master Shafiq—to welcome you, in a tone as smooth as his hair, Mr. Borgin said, "and Master Shafiq. What can I do for you? I'll make sure to show you, I just got in today, and the price is very fair-"

Aiagos stooped down to examine the skulls full of shelves, then straightened up and said disdainfully, "There are a lot of fakes, and Muggle skulls, complete contraband!" Mr. Borgin, your stuff is getting worse and worse! ”

"No, it won't! It's just a mistake! Mr. Bojin said with an aggrieved face: "The outside is all fooling the layman, and the good goods are inside!" ”

"Are there any bones of the trolls? I want it whole and fresh, and there are no other big bones, and don't keep filling up the goblin! Aiagos asked.

"Yes, yes!" Mr. Borgin smiled, "The bones of the newly arrived trolls are very fresh, and there is definitely not a single bone missing, I will deal with them myself." And the bones of the centaurs, do you want them? ”

"Don't hurt me! Centaurs, stay for yourself, that's a ban from the Ministry of Magic! Aiagos emphasized, "I only want what is legal!" Bring it to me and let me inspect it! ”

"Haha, you're so careful! Centaurs are also intelligent creatures, just beasts! Seeing that Aiagos was very resolute, Mr. Borgin stopped persuading him and sold something else: "Do you want the horned camel beast?" However, it should be noted in advance that the horns have been taken and sold in advance. ”

Horned camel, magic part class level: XXXX. Horned camels can be found in mountainous areas all over Europe. The horned camel has a large body, purple with a hint of gray. It has a bulging back, two very sharp horns on its head, and walks with large feet with four fingers. Horned camels are extremely aggressive by nature. Occasionally, mountain trolls can be seen riding on horned camels, trying to tame them, but they don't seem to be happy in their hearts. So, it wasn't strange to see the trolls covered in scars from horned camels. The powder of the horns of the horns of the horns can be used in a variety of potions, but because their horns are hard to come by, this powder is extremely expensive. The Horned Camel's skin is even stronger than that of a fire dragon, and most spells can't do anything about it.

"The horned camel beast is okay, bring it all." Aiagoz thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll get it for you!" When Mr. Bojin saw that the business was done, the smile on his face became even bigger.

While Borgin went to pick up his things, Aiagos told Charon: "Remember, child, Tumbledown Alley is dangerous, all the wizards in it cannot be trusted, and how many daredevils have fallen here and become the products of the shops here. Fakes are rampant here, and a large number of untreated dark magic items are circulating here, and it is a big problem to buy them back. Even Borgin's shop is the same, even though he's already one of the most reputable in the area. ”

Mr. Borgin quickly dragged out two bags of marijuana and dumped them on the ground, and after a loud "bang", two piles of miserable white bones appeared on the ground.

Aiagos stepped forward to inspect the goods, and he muttered, "Mr. Bogin, you are becoming more and more cunning. These bones have been sitting for at least half a year, and most of their magic power has been lost. It's also a mess. And the bones of this horned camel, what are missing more than horns and hooves? Why is one missing? ”。

"You've got sharp eyes, but you're too picky! You know, Mr. Shafiq, there's something up there that makes it look—" Mr. Borgin quibbled.

They began to haggle, and Charon watched as much as he pleased, the Glorious Hand, the Evil Eye, and all the other mess. Finally he stopped to study a long noose, and looked at the sign on a string of expensive opal necklaces: Beware: Do not touch, it has been spelled—it has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles.
