The cabinet floated all the way up until the top connected with the ceiling. The part of the cabinet buried underground looked very much like the wand cabinet in Ollivander's Wand Shop. The entire cabinet was densely packed with rows of small boxes. Tonks
At first glance, there were hundreds of them.
Mr. Borkin:!
At this moment, he felt like someone was strangling his neck and it was difficult to breathe: This was what he and his partner Caractacus Bock had accumulated over the years, and now it was all over!
Mr. Borgin is a cautious person. Although his shop has many anti-theft spells, he still habitually hides the genuine items under the cabinet at the cashier. The ones on the stand outside are either
The replicas made using the replication spell are either fakes made by craftsmen, or some items of low value or very dangerous are just placed there. The former will not hurt if stolen, while the latter will most likely leave the thief in the store.
.
But this little trick was meaningless in front of Moody. His magic eye could even see through the invisibility cloak, so it didn't matter how many floors and protective spells he saw through. So within two minutes of his coming in, he found Bo
Golden hidden darkroom.
Moody looked at Bo Jin. He didn't want to open the cabinet himself. Bo Jin sighed again, walked to the cabinet, and knocked for a while until all the cabinets popped open.
Moody snorted coldly. He walked to the cabinet, picked out the illegal items one by one, and put them into the sealed bags of the Ministry of Magic. Every time he took away an item, Borgin's face grew paler.
point.
The things inside are not only the property of Mr. Borkin, but also the things temporarily stored here by his partner Bork and other pure-blood wizards. Although the Ministry of Magic is inspecting it, will those people really reason with him?
?
Once the people from the Ministry of Magic leave, I am afraid that they will catch him and drain him of the last copper Knut - even though he and Bock have been working together for decades, when it is time to fall out, Bock will not
He is soft-hearted. Mr. Borgin knows very well that his partner is not a good person.
"Let's go!" Moody walked around the room twice to make sure that no prohibited items were missing, and then led the team directly out of Borgin-Bock. Before leaving, his magic eyes stared at a corner for a while.
Son. He knew there was a mechanism there, but it was a pity that it was probably Bork's treasure trove, and Borgin couldn't open it.
Although Mr. Borkin's shop contained nearly a hundred prohibited items, the Ministry of Magic couldn't really arrest him because he had a legal business license. According to official records, Borkin and Burkes was an antique shop.
, by the way, it provides the service of "providing secret valuations for rare and ancient magical artifacts inherited from outstanding wizard families." Moody and Tonks can only confiscate illegal items from the store, but cannot arrest the store owner.
stand up.
The only ones who will be caught today are a group of minions and wizards who are actually forced to buy dark magic items. These people will spend this winter in Azkaban.
After Moody left, Mr. Borkin's body swayed twice, and he almost collapsed to the ground, but he managed to steady himself by holding on to the counter next to him.
At this time, several dementors suddenly floated into Borgin-Bock. At this time, Knockturn Alley was in chaos. Aurors and other Ministry of Magic staff were busy searching, and shopkeepers and customers were taken with them.
No one noticed at all that several Dementors entered Borgin-Bock, which had fallen and was being frantically "plundered" by the Aurors.
Bo Jin felt the cold approaching, raised his head suddenly, and showed a horrified look: "You, why...haven't I already--"
He was so frightened that he thought these dementors were coming to take him to Azkaban.
"Don't be nervous," a voice came from behind the Dementor, "Mr. Borgin, I think we can make a deal."
Bo Jin:?
"Who are you... or something?" His face was pale, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that no matter whether the person speaking was a human or a monster, he could not provoke him.
"Of course it's a human." The dementors made way for a young man wearing a strange mask and crown to walk in front of Mr. Borgin.
"I'm curious, do you need to pay compensation for the things that were confiscated just now? Or do you have other ways to get these things back?" He looked at the empty shelves and the product descriptions on them with interest.
He quickly estimated the value of these black magic items.
Mr. Borgin opened his mouth, then shut it up. After repeating it several times, he finally let out a long sigh. His body became more stooped, and his back became even more hunched, "Of course I have to pay for it...and even if those big guys can
If you want to get the confiscated items back, you will also be asked to compensate me... If you are strict, you will need public relations fees, if you are not strict, you will directly claim for the original price of the items... Decades of accumulation will be wasted!"
The young man who entered Borgin-Bock was naturally Tom. There was a large-scale operation involving hundreds of Dementors. How could he, the leader of the Dementors, not follow him? Just now, he had been standing far away watching the show under the protection of several younger brothers.
Seeing that Borgin-Bock was searched and a lot of collections were confiscated, Tom suddenly had an idea. So he led the dementors into Borgin-Bock.
What Mr. Borgin just said confirmed Tom's conjecture. At this time, he looked at the few products left on the shelves, thoughtfully.
"If I were you, I would run away." He walked to a huge cabinet and stopped. His intuition told him that this was the disappearing cabinet in Borgin-Bock's magic shop. Through this cabinet, you can directly
Teleport into Hogwarts.
Things like disappearing cabinets exist in pairs. The method of use is also very simple: enter one of the cabinets, close the door, and then open the door again, and you will come out of the other cabinet. There is a disappearing cabinet here in Bojin-Bok
, there is another one in the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts. But now the cabinet in the Room of Requirement is damaged, and living creatures cannot be passed into the campus.
Although living creatures cannot be passed around now, as long as they are repaired, the pair of disappearing cabinets can still become an unknown secret passage into Hogwarts. In the original world line, the backbone of the Death Eaters entered in this way.
Hogwarts, and blocked Dumbledore in the Astronomy Tower.
There is no doubt that these disappearing cabinets are a security risk for Hogwarts. As a student of Hogwarts, Tom naturally does not want to allow holes in the defense network of Hogwarts. The method to eliminate this hidden danger is also very easy:
Chopping up the cabinet and throwing it into the fireplace to serve as firewood is absolutely foolproof. But what are the consequences of this?
