Chapter 740: Borgin Bock
"What did you say?"
Fred was so excited that he almost jumped, and he now even wondered if Kyle's head had been stepped on by the Moon Idiot.
"Something so important, how can you ...... Oh, wait a minute. He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something. You probably want to ambush the Death Eaters in the castle. ”
"Sure enough, it's my friend, smart enough." Kyle grinned, "yes, that's what I thought.
"Come to think of it, the ambitious Death Eaters took Malfoy's advice and crawled through the Vanishing Cabinet to Hogwarts, only to look up and see seven or eight wand-widled professors waiting for them......"
"That must have been a great scene!" I don't know when, Fred's face has already turned red, and the whole person is extremely excited.
"Great, this plan is simply amazing!" George gasped for breath, as if he had seen the Death Eaters lining up to deliver warmth.
Excited, they immediately got together and began to discuss how to set traps at Hogwarts.
Tie the vanishing cabinet to a broomstick and send it to the sky......
Stuff the vanishing cabinet into the sewer pipe......
Dig a swamp the size of a Quidditch pitch in front of the vanishing cabinet.
……
The bad ideas of the two are like fountains, endless.
Kyle sat next to him, jot down all their thoughts with a shorthand quill pen.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that Fred and George calmed down.
"That's not right." George paused abruptly, then turned his head and asked, "Kyle, the Vanishing Cabinet is only useful if you have two of them, you just said that you found one, but what about the other one, is it also at Hogwarts?" ”
"There's only one at Hogwarts." Kyle said.
This sentence was like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished their enthusiasm.
But as soon as they calmed down, they remembered another thing Kyle had just said.
"The other vanishing cabinet won't be in Tumbledown Alley."
Kyle couldn't have asked them to pay attention to the situation between Tumbledown Alley and Malfoy for no reason, and when the two things were taken together, the truth was already obvious.
The other Vanishing Cabinet was in Tumbledown Alley, and Malfoy knew he would have to go there if he wanted to complete his plan.
I see...... Now everything makes sense.
"Let's go to Diagon Alley now!" Fred stood up and was about to walk out.
"There's no need to rush." Kyle waved his hand, motioning for them to take a moment's heel.
"It doesn't matter when you go, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, I'm just here to make sure."
"Confirm what?"
"Of course the cabinet isn't there." "It's unlikely that Malfoy is running around with the cabinet, and if it's still there, we just need to keep an eye on Tumbledown Alley to know exactly when they're moving," Kyle said. ”
"What if Malfoy takes the cabinet away." Fred asked, "It's not that hard, a chest with the Traceless Stretching Charm applied will do it." ”
"Then it can only be a little troublesome, so that everyone is ready at any time." Kyle said.
"Dad, do they know about this?"
"You should know." Kyle thought for a moment, "I've already consulted with Professor Dumbledore, and there's no reason why he shouldn't tell the rest of the Order of the Phoenix. ”
"Dad, they must know!" George suddenly said, "Remember, the last time they were discussing things, Alastor suddenly mentioned 'The Passage,' and Tonks and Sirius were almost living in Hogsmeade. ”
"They know everything, but they just won't tell us!" The more George spoke, the more angry he became, "They always think of us as little kids like Ginny. ”
"yes, we've all graduated, but we still don't get enough trust." Fred also acted very angry, "Obviously, Bill and Charlie can participate in the meeting, but we can't, we can only eavesdrop outside!" ”
"Don't say that." Kyle hurriedly comforted, "This is also for your safety. ”
"But we want to help, too." Fred took a deep breath, "Kyle, do you know why we haven't resigned until now?" ”
"Do you find it interesting to work at the Ministry of Magic?" Kyle said.
"It was true for the first two months." "But then it started to get boring." ”
"Every day I have to do all those repetitive things, write reports, and waste time tracking down small traders......"
"And that little salary, you can earn ...... in two days in the store"
"The reason why we didn't quit our jobs was because we wanted to help my dad share some of the burden."
"By the way, let Mom see that we can actually help."
"But she never seemed to notice that."
Looking at the gradually lost two, Kyle didn't know how to comfort them for a while, so he could only whisper: "Are you thinking too much?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"So, do you want to take over Charlie's job and take charge of the security of Twelve Grimmauld Place?"
"I don't want to." Fred and George shook their heads at the same time, telling them to stay in the same place for a day, it would be better to just give them a killing curse.
"Or to Hogsmeade?"
The two shook their heads again, didn't that mean the same thing? It's just that Hogsmeade is a little bigger.
"That's not it." Kyle said, "Since you don't want to do anything, and you complain so much, Mrs. Weasley already takes good care of you." ”
Fred and George looked at each other with a look at each other, and the atmosphere of grievance and dissatisfaction just now disappeared in an instant, and even a little embarrassed.
"Or I'll go talk to her, and let you take over Tonks and Sirius." Kyle suggested, "Or maybe I'll just go to Dumbledore and talk to him." ”
"Forget it......"
"There's no need to ......"
"We're just talking about fun, why are you still serious!"
……
Ten minutes later, Ron knocked on the door and told them to go to lunch.
"What are you talking about in there?" Ron asked, looking at the three of them suspiciously.
"Nothing."
"It's none of your business." Fred said, "Don't meddle. ”
"You'd better think about how to take care of that girl."
"What's it called...... Lavender? ”
"It's a pity, your eyes are not good at a young age, and you actually think you...... Handsome? ”
"You peek at my letters!" Ron's face turned red all at once.
"Don't get me wrong, we don't have this fetish." George said solemnly, "It's you who came out of your faith when you were talking in your sleep, and it was very loud. ”
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Harry."
"By the way, you won't memorize that letter."
Then they began to recite with emotion.
"Ro-Ro, why is this holiday so long......"
"Ro-Ro..."
Fred and George seemed to have some kind of talent, and as soon as they spoke, Kyle felt a little excited.
And Ron, blushing so red that he was about to smoke, shouted, "Enough, you two, shut up!" ”
He desperately threw what he had at hand at the two of them, a piece of sugar, a universal tool, and two sicos...... It's all in Ron's pocket.
But Fred just lazily waved his wand and turned them all into paper airplanes.
Oh, except for Sico, he and George are one by one, just right.
"That's all my pocket money!" Ron shouted in frustration?
"You threw it yourself."
"We thought you didn't want it."
"It's all your fault!" Ron said angrily, "Wait, wait until I'm seventeen......"
"I'm sure you'll stop us with magic that no one has thought of so far." Fred waved his hand and said, "Let's go, George, Kyle." ”
They squeezed Ron out of Ron and made their way to the restaurant.
Lunch was beef stew and mashed potatoes, and Mrs. Weasley kept feeding Connor as if she wasn't afraid she wouldn't have enough to eat.
"You can go back to school with Harry and them in the afternoon, it's five o'clock." After lunch, Mrs. Weasley said, "You can talk for a while before that, or play around in the house for a while." ”
"Nope." Kyle shook his head and said, "We've got to buy something in Diagon Alley." ”
"Diagon Alley?" Mrs. Weasley frowned, "But now that everyone else is busy, I can't let you go alone, it's too dangerous......"
"It's okay, let's go." Fred immediately stood up and said:
"It just so happens that we have something to do to go to the store, so we can send them there."
"You guys?" Mrs. Weasley was still a little uneasy, but there didn't seem to be a better candidate for it.
"Alright then, how are you going to get there, Apparition Shifter?"
"No, in a carriage." Kyle said
……
"I met Mr. Malfoy, just ten days ago." In front of the Weasley joke shop, Kreacher said.
"Are you sure it's him?" Kyle asked.
"Kreacher sees it clearly, Master Kyle." "That's Mr. Malfoy." ”
"That's right."
A few people came to the outside of the store.
"Malfoy knew that another Vanishing Cabinet was here." Fred said.
"I'll have to go to Tumbledown Alley and make sure it's still there." Kyle said.
"No, that's too dangerous." George frowned and said, "Mom asked us to protect you, so we have to go together." ”
"What kind of protection, you guys are interested in it." Kyle directly punctured their excuses.
"Also, have you ever seen anyone who went shopping in a dark magic item shop together? I won't be in danger if I go on my own. ”
Kyle glanced at Connor, who was still in the shop, then transformed his clothes into a wide hooded cape, and despite Fred and George's resistance, he dodged to the entrance of Tumbledown Alley.
……
Diagon Alley is deserted now, let alone here, the streets are deserted, and the stalls that used to be everywhere selling poisons and all kinds of strange objects have all disappeared, and they must have gone somewhere else.
After all, in these dangerous and suspicious times, no one would risk being targeted by the Aurors to buy any dark magic artifacts here.
Only not far from the entrance, sat a man in rags, also wearing a hood, so that it was impossible to see his appearance.
As Kyle walked over, he faintly smelled a faint smell of blood, and his instincts told him that this person was dangerous.
At this time, it is definitely not possible to turn around and go back, which is equivalent to not admitting yourself. Kyle could only pretend to be calm and continue walking, while the hand in his sleeve gripped his wand tightly.
As he passed by the man, he raised his head, revealing a pair of strange brown eyes, accompanied by a faint, swallowing sound.
But fortunately, he didn't seem to be looking for trouble, just glanced at it and lowered his head again.
However, Kyle did not take this lightly, and continued to hold his wand and walked vigilantly until he reached the door of one of the largest shops in the middle of the street.
The Borgin Burke Black Magic Store, where there is also not a single customer, the owner, Borgin, sits behind the counter, dozing off boredly.
Kyle straightened the hood on his head to make sure he could cover his face before stepping inside.
The bell on the door of the store rang, waking up the people behind the counter.
"Welcome, guest." Bogin said the voice was not enthusiastic.
Kyle doesn't speak, walking through a cabinet full of skeletons and old bottles, kicking a box in his way.
"I must warn you, sir." Bo Jin said coldly: "Here, there is a price to pay for touching things. ”
"The price?" Kyle also sneered, and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't think it's the scare box just now...... Transform into a curse, a child's trick. ”
"Oh?" Something different finally appeared in Bogin's voice. "Forgive me for my presumptuousness, guest, for what I need to do."
Kyle didn't say anything more, just walked around the store before finally stopping on a dry hand.
"How much is this?"
"Two thousand Galleons." Bogin said.
"Tsk, the Glorious Hand isn't worth the price." Kyle said lightly, "I'd better look elsewhere." ”
"With all due respect, you can't buy it anywhere else."
Bo Jin still sat calmly behind the counter, but his tone of voice was much faster, "You should also know the current situation, few people dare to sell such good things, but I have taken a big risk, so naturally I have to raise the price appropriately." ”
Kyle paused, as if acquiescing, and continued to wander around the store, looking at the shelves with disgust.
"Curse of Boiling Blood, only for Muggles, garbage."
"Corrosive poison...... Garbage in garbage ......"
"Look at this, a hundred years ago's obsolescence...... Could it be some kind of thrift yard here? ”
Bokin's face became more and more ugly, but he couldn't find a reason to attack, because the person in front of him didn't say anything wrong, but his tone was too bad.
"This guest, if you're here to find fault, I'm ......"
"Oh, that's good." At this point, Kyle paused, pointed to a corner next to the counter and asked, "How much is that?" ”
"The Tapestry of the Damned...... "Borgin said coldly, "and you can take it with you for one hundred and fifty Galleons." ”
"No, no, no, I don't want that." Kyle shook his head, "I'm talking about what's underneath the tapestry. ”
It was a cabinet, tightly covered by tapestries, with only one corner peeking out, as if it had been deliberately hidden.
"What?" Bo Jin's eyes narrowed.
But at this point, Kyle moves his fingers, and the tapestry flies to the side, revealing what lies underneath.
Sure enough, it was a disappearing cabinet, and both the shape and the lines on the cabinet were exactly the same as the one at Hogwarts.
"Yo, I didn't expect to see such a good thing." Kyle said, "How much, I want it." ”
"Five thousand Galleons." The Bogin Lion opened his mouth widely.
If it's two vanishing cabinets, the price is reasonable, but if there is only one, it's a bit high.
Bo Jin originally wanted to make the person in front of him retreat, but he never expected it...... Things didn't seem to be right with what he thought.
"I want it." Without even thinking about it, Kyle pulled out a box and opened it on the counter.
This was prepared in advance by the Kyle and Weasley brothers, and it was full of gold gallons.
It's like adding an oil lamp to the store.
Bo Jin's whole person instantly fell into the mesmerizing golden light, and the original guard in his heart dissipated almost instantly.
It wasn't until Kyle stepped forward and opened the vanishing cabinet on his own that he finally came to his senses.
"Wait a minute, this guest." Bokin forcibly looked away from those Galleons, "You can't take it. ”
"How?" Kyle was banging around the cupboard, as if checking for something, "Wasn't the amount of money I gave me enough?" ”
"Of course not." Bogin couldn't help but glance at Garon again, his throat rolling.
"That's fine." Kyle said, "Now it's mine, why can't I take it."
"It's just too big, and it's a little inconvenient to hold." With that, Kyle pulls out his wand and points it on the vanishing cabinet.
"Oh, wait a minute!" Borgin makes a flying pounce in front of Kyle.
It's hard to believe that he still has this agility.
"What do you mean by that?" Kyle's voice was a little displeased, "I don't think you want to add money temporarily." ”
"Of course not, this guest, Borgin Burke's reputation in Tumbledown Alley is the best, it's this vanishing cabinet, it's, it's bad."
"Bad?"
"yes." Bo Jin slapped the cabinet vigorously, "Well, when I fix it, how about the guests come back to pick it up." ”
"How long will it take?"
"Half a year...... No, three months, three months is enough. ”
"It's been too long...... Kyle shook his head, "Forget it, I can fix it myself." ”
With that, Kyle held out his hand again.
"No, guest." Again, Bokin said: "We can't sell things that are broken, that's the rule. ”
"Really not for sale?" Kyle snapped the box with Garon closed.
To be honest, for a moment, Bo Jin's heart moved, it was five thousand Galleons, which can be said to be the biggest order in ten years.
But when he thought that the cabinet was about someone's plan, he calmed down again.
"Not for sale!" Bo Jin said firmly: "Of course, in order to compensate the guests for the time they waited, I am willing to give a great discount, only need to pay three thousand Galleons, how about it." ”
Bo Jin's abacus played very loudly, compared to offending that person, the person in front of him didn't matter.
Anyway, let's get the money first, and then talk about it, as for three months later...... The cabinet was snatched by the Death Eaters, so what did it matter to him?
Anyway, Galleon, who entered Bogin-Bock, didn't return it.
Two thousand Galleons, he didn't believe that anyone was not moved.
"Only three thousand Galleons? It's so cheap. Kyle whispered, "But ......"
"It's cheap and it's not good, I don't want it."
Before Bo Jin could even react, Kyle had already picked up the box and walked out of the store.
By the time he came back to his senses and chased him out, Kyle had long since disappeared into the streets, and he couldn't even find a figure.
