Chapter 269 Books and Cabinets

London High Street.

Hermione used to admire this place so much because there was an alley filled with her favorite books, or rather, knowledge.

On a drizzly morning, two teenagers wearing big cloaks ushered in here. They kept dry miraculously without umbrellas. This scene of people coming and going was a little dazed, and then he quickly got into the largest study room. After a while, the blond boy behind him dawdled in.

"Mr. Kabrev, is it alright? It's very uncomfortable here." Draco twisted his neck and said with disgust, "Even rainy days are full of Muggles."

"I can't help it, the books here are the most complete, and you are the one who said you want to come with me?" Weiss stood in front of the bookshelf and picked books one after another, and put them in a basket beside him: "Wouldn't it be better to wait for me at the Leaky Cauldron?"

"But it's even more uncomfortable there! Speaking of which, what's the use of these?...Architecture...geometry?" Draco randomly picked out a book from the half-frame book, struggled to identify the words on the cover, and thought hard what it stands for.

"To put it simply, after reading these, the tunnel we dug this time will not collapse like last time." Weiss pointed to the book next to him with a bitter face and explained: "I don't want to be crushed in the soil again. inside."

"Can't you just use the Curing Curse?" Draco shook his head and threw the book back into the pile, his face full of disdain: "And what can be done with the Digging Curse, why use those numbness spells?" melon tools?"

"Because we can't use a little magic, I can't be sure that the man with the white beard will notice what's going on underground, but I can't bet it on the possibility that 'he won't notice'." Weiss said angrily Then he waved his hand: "Go, pay the bill, and then we'll go to Diagon Alley. Have you thought about giving Pansy anything?"

"No." Draco said quickly with a blush on his face, "So I'm going to go for a walk."

"Let me make it clear to you in advance that it's fine for me to lend you Galleons, but if it's too expensive, we have to go to Gringotts," Weiss pulled out a black silk pouch from the stretch bag and shook it Cai said: "As you heard, there are not many of them."

"With your guarantee, I believe I can choose a gift that suits Pansy." Draco said with high spirits, and then said with some embarrassment: "Are you really not going to her birthday party? She Will definitely look forward to it.”

"Don't go, don't go, isn't it good for the two of you to live a two-person world? Why should I go? But you can bring me a gift." Weiss waved his hands, watching the clerk calculate the price, and took it when he was done. He took out a bunch of green banknotes 'picked up' in the Brazilian rainforest and asked, "Do you accept US dollars? Small ones..."

…Diagon Alley…

"A lot of shops are closed." Weiss looked at the deserted Diagon Alley and said, "Looks like we're going to Knockturn Alley."

"There's nothing good there, right?" Draco frowned and scanned the few shops that were still open, with a look of depression and helplessness.

"So I said, the emerald pendant in the jewelry store I just passed by is pretty good, and it fits your Slytherin status." Weiss rolled his eyes and said, "What's the matter with the Muggle stuff? .”

"Although the necklace is very exquisite, even if it is the price of a Muggle, the five-figure figure is not acceptable to me now..." Malfoy shook his head quickly, and walked into the bouncy magic joke shop beside him. After browsing quickly, he picked up a gadget and said to Weiss at the door: "Mr. Ka... Easter, what do you think of this? It looks very interesting."

"...What do you think if I give you some fireworks for your birthday?" Weiss leaned over and stared at the 'Rainbow Fireworks' logo on it for a while before saying.

"...Well, it doesn't look right." Draco thought for a while, quickly dropped the fireworks, and left the shop quickly.

"Why don't you go, buy it, just keep it for fun, for your birthday." Weiss reached out to the clerk, pointed to the fireworks and said, "Give me 30 of each."

"Why don't I give her an owl?" Draco looked towards the Ela Owl shop opposite and muttered to himself, "Or a puppy?"

"Let's go to Knockturn Alley. There are no more eye-catching shops here. If that shop opens, maybe there will be something novel." Weiss threw a large pack of fireworks at himself Draco led Draco into a dark and messy alley.

"That's the only way." Draco sighed and followed Wes into Knockturn Alley.

...Knockturn Alley...

"...I always feel that I have inherited some strange physique." Weiss stepped on a red-nosed wizard under his feet and said, "Why do I always get robbed? The most important thing is why everyone who robs me has no money ?”

"I think it's because of the magic you released on the hood. They didn't recognize you, and they are still rich, but they don't have much." Malfoy smiled at this time As he said that, in less than half an hour, he already had a small rag bag in his hand, and there were dozens of golden little guys in it.

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the sentence left by his ancestors.

You can be full just by drinking soup!

"Stop shopping, I didn't buy anything, and there were a lot of fights!" Weiss kicked the wizard who had fainted or pretended to be fainted, with an unhappy face.

"Then let's go to Borgin-Bock Magic Store? Sir, I haven't bought my gift yet..." Draco suggested with his eyes bent into crescents but trying to put on a serious expression.

"Well, I can only go there, but the price of the goods there, tsk tsk tsk, really deserves to be a time-honored brand in Knockturn Alley." Weiss smacked his lips and shook his head.

...Bokin - Bock Magic Store...

"Old Bock, your 'cupboard' hasn't been sold yet?" Weiss patted a large black cabinet not far from the door, turned to Draco behind him and said, "Draco, Let’s see, Old Bok started to work as a furniture dealer. Obviously, the career change was not very successful. I saw him sell this cabinet when I was in the third grade. At that time, I was still surrounded by an old man with a white beard!”

The owner, Borgin Bock, is a man with long oily hair and yellow teeth. Perhaps his products are subtly corroding his body, and his torso exposed to the air shows a A strange dryness.

In the past, as long as someone walked into his store, he would always say to the customers with that smirk of a profiteer: "Welcome to Borgin-Bock Magic Store..." But this time, when he heard Wes After the voice, he was obviously taken aback, and looked at Weiss with shortness of breath, as if he wanted to use his yellow eyeballs to see through the thin layer of fog under the hood, but obviously, the perennial business life made him not look forward to the past. Generally so proficient in magic.

"This title... this voice..." Old Bok, the shopkeeper, ignored Draco who was frowning and looking at the black cabinet, and pointed at Wes with trembling fingers, stuttering and speechless.

"Mr.... Mr. East, I seem to have seen this cabinet somewhere..." At this moment, Draco said with his hesitant voice.

"Huh? Where is it?" Weiss immediately looked back after hearing the words. The strange thing was that the old Bok had the same reaction as Weiss. come over.

"I don't know, but I must have seen the exact same cabinet somewhere." Draco frowned as if thinking, but he said in a firm tone.

"This is the disappearing cabinet, Master Malfoy, we can put some useless things in it, as long as the door is closed, it can disappear without a trace, even people." Old Bok introduced with a muddy voice at this time: " If you like it, you just need to..."

"Forget nothing, the soul is out of the body." Before the old Bok finished speaking, Weiss quickly pulled out his wand and waved it at him twice, then looked at Draco with a serious expression: "This is The disappearing cabinet, but it should be a pair, and its function is not as simple as what old Bok said. The space inside it can communicate with the two cabinets, and the effect of apparition can be achieved in the cabinet. Think about it now, Where did you find the other chest? Hogsmeade? Diagon Alley? Parkinson Manor? Your house? Some friend's house of yours? Or, Hogwarts?"

"No, maybe I remembered it wrong..." Draco was stunned by Weiss's expression, shook his head quickly and said, and then said nervously: "Mr. Kabrev, let's go quickly , there are traces in your body, the Ministry of Magic can locate your location."

"It's okay, there are a lot of wizards here, and it can't track me accurately." Weiss shook his head quickly and said, but he quickly looked through the glass window facing the street before saying: "Let's go out and come in later Just pretend you never came in today, don't be curious about that cabinet, just pretend you came here to sell gifts for Pansy."

"Okay, Mr. Kabrev." Draco nodded quickly.

"When I'm helping Pansy celebrate her birthday, I'll take a look in Parkinson's Manor to see if there is a cabinet that is exactly the same as this one. Although the patterns of the two cabinets may be slightly different, you don't have to care about those details. You just need to recognize this symbol, as long as there is a cabinet with this symbol, you will notify me immediately." Weiss pointed to a pattern at the bottom of the door frame of the cabinet and said: "Although it looks like a flower, it is... Forget it, you Just remember this flower."

"Okay, Mr. Kabrev." Draco nodded firmly after staring at the flower for a while.

"Let's go out now." Weiss patted Draco on the shoulder to let him follow, and said casually: "If there is nothing here that you can fancy, we will go and buy back that string of emerald necklaces, as long as you If you can find that cabinet, I will give you that string of necklaces. Well, I will buy a string of bracelets as a gift for her."
