Shining tugged on Wang Xu's trousers, and the two of them disappeared instantly.
To Wang Xu, the space seemed to have turned into a pipe. He was like a rat being flushed into the toilet, stumbling down the pipe.
The falling was mixed with a feeling of dizziness, which came and went away quickly.
In just one or two breaths, the surrounding scenery completely changed. Looking again, he and Twinkle were already standing on a street, and the sign not far away read Knockturn Alley.
Knockturn Alley is a gathering place for dark wizards. The street becomes more prosperous at night.
At first glance, in addition to the shops on both sides of the road, there are many wizards wearing black robes and cloaks squatting on the street outside the shops and setting up street stalls.
They sell a variety of things, including Norwegian Spinosaurus eggs, unicorn horns, snowman livers, phoenix feathers, items containing cursed powers, potions containing magic, magical animals, and miscellaneous medicinal materials.
There were many people selling things, and there were also many people buying things, and the voices of bargaining kept coming and going.
After walking only a dozen meters, Wang Xu felt a lot of malicious glances. These glances were as greedy as jackals, eager to bite him.
Under such prying eyes, Shining was a little scared and clutched Wang Xu's trouser legs tightly.
Fortunately, Edward's Potions Store was not far from the intersection. When Wang Xu opened the door and walked into the store, his malicious eyes disappeared.
"Look at it all you want, but don't touch it with your hands, unless you want to buy it."
Edward's potion store is not big, only about twenty square meters. When you push the door, you will find a round counter. The potions are placed on the wooden shelves behind the counter.
A fat old man with a somewhat bald head, a pipe in his mouth, sat behind the counter and read a newspaper. He did not raise his head even if a customer came in.
"Why is there no lucky water?" Wang Xu scanned the magic potions on the wooden rack. These potions were all labeled. After looking around, he couldn't find the lucky water.
When he heard the guest asking about the lucky water, the old man raised his head slightly and said, "Because I didn't see Galleon!"
Wang Xu put his hand on the counter, and countless gold galleons fell from his hand, making a crisp collision sound when they fell on the counter.
The old man glanced at the ring on Wang Xu's hand, with a slight smile on his lips, and found a box from under the counter.
Click!
The box was opened, and in the palm-sized wooden box lay a crystal bottle, which contained a crystal clear potion.
"Six thousand Galleons." The old man first picked up a gold Galleons and looked at it, then pushed the box in his hand over.
Wang Xu clenched his right hand, and Galleons stopped falling downwards. He whispered: "I am a friend of Slughorn. I heard from him that the price of lucky water should be five thousand Galleons!"
"It doesn't matter who your friend is. It's just six thousand. Five thousand galleons was the previous price. Now that the gentleman is back, all the regular shops in Diagon Alley are so scared that they have closed. I am the only one who has lucky water for sale."
"Don't think I'm stupid. If you were me, what would you do?" The old man shook the box in his hand and said with a smile: "Six thousand galleons, the price is the same. Don't think it's expensive. I'll raise the price in two days."

Voldemort returns, bringing about a reshuffle of forces.
People with a little savings are all moving. The drugstore owners are moving faster than ants. They dare not come back until the news is over.
Nowadays, in the huge British wizarding world, there are very few places that can sell high-end potions, and even less regular stores.
Because they are also afraid that a group of Death Eaters will suddenly break in one night, and then it will not be as simple as losing money, but also losing their lives.
Similarly, to be able to open such a potion shop in Knockturn Alley, where dark wizards are rampant, the old man definitely has a lot of connections.
If things go wrong, he is the potion supplier to the Death Eaters. The more chaotic the situation, the more stable he will be. Instead, he will only have to worry when Voldemort loses power.
"Five bottles of lucky water, at the price you said, but one thing is that the quality must be guaranteed. I only want the ones refined by Slughorn." Wang Xu waved his hand, and 30,000 gold coins flew out immediately, and sat on the counter.
A small mountain was piled on top.
The old man narrowed his eyes with a smile, bent down and fiddled with the counter for a while, and quickly took out four identical boxes and pushed them out together with the previous box.
Wang Xu opened all five boxes, took out a bottle and looked at it. He saw an h mark on the crystal bottle.
h is the first letter of Slughorn's name, which is his trademark and his anti-counterfeiting mark.
Wang Xu held up the bottle and looked at it. The letter "H" exuded colorful colors under the light, exactly as Slughorn said.
"The bottle is real!" Wang Xu held the bottle and said, "The magic potion inside had better be real, otherwise you will be in trouble."
"You have to believe in the credibility of the merchant. This is a regular store."
“It better be so”
Wang Xu glanced at the old man, put the five boxes into the space ring, turned to Shining and said: "Go back to Hogwarts."
"Yes." Shining lowered his head slightly and grabbed Wang Xu's trouser leg with his hand.
Whoosh!!!
The surrounding scene changed again, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the gate of Hogwarts.
Wang Xu touched the ring on his hand. He couldn't tell whether the lucky water was real or fake, but Slughorn definitely could.
If the old man selling the potion lied to him, Wang Xu thought he would be very angry, and if he was unhappy, someone would be even more unhappy than him.
"Professor, are you back for dinner too?" Wang Xu was about to walk in when a pleasant voice came to his ears.
Looking back, Luna was jumping from a distance with a small flower in her ear.
The moment Wang Xu saw Luna, he was stunned by her dress. Luna was wearing a light yellow dress. This kind of dress looked very strange. Starting from the chest, the hem of the skirt went down in layers, making it
She looked like a peeled banana.
And on her legs, she wore a pair of black stockings. This kind of black was not black in the ordinary sense, but the kind of black that was as reflective as ink.
Wang Xu looked her up and down for a while and couldn't help but said: "Luna, what are you doing? What you are wearing is really cool!"
"Thank you, this is my new dress, and you will never guess where the money comes from." Luna is an alternative among students. Even though Wang Xu is a tutor, when she talks to you,
But there won't be the kind of restraint that students feel when they meet their teachers.
Wang Xu admired Luna's character very much and also liked her ethereal temperament. He also asked like his friends: "Where does the money come from?"
"Remember those magazines I showed you on the train? Originally, I wanted to give the magazines to others for free, but people didn't like them very much, so I sold them in Hogsmeade. I was also very strange.
, why is it that a magazine that students don’t like is very popular in Hogsmeade Village, and many people have asked me when the next issue will be released.”
Luna walked around in front of Wang Xu, with a slight smile on her face, and asked: "Does it look good?"
Wang Xu nodded lightly and affirmed: "It's very good-looking. Your ethereal temperament, paired with such shocking clothes, will make you look cool."
"I think so too, but I can't wear it in school because my deskmate is very annoying. He always likes to touch my legs during class." If another 15-year-old girl said this, it would definitely
She would be shy and coy, but that was not the case when Luna spoke. There was a kind of indifference in her tone, as if she was talking about something unrelated.
Wang Xu looked slightly embarrassed. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only vaguely say: "I will respond to Professor Flitwick. He is the head of Ravenclaw and can move you to a new seat."
"If it's someone I like, I won't object to these small actions, but I don't like my deskmate at all. He is like a monkey in heat, and he has the habit of not taking a shower." Luna said with a slight smile.
He raised his head, looked at Wang Xu with empty eyes, and said: "Professor, you think if it were you, I might not refuse. Isn't it cool to have a mentor as your boyfriend?"
The ethereal eyes, indifferent words, and extremely tempting hints are tempting people to commit crimes.
Wang Xu subconsciously glanced at Luna's legs. The fifteen-year-old girl's figure was a bit thin. Luna's legs were not as thick as his arms. With those slightly reflective black stockings, any man would want to touch them.
A handful.
"I'm just kidding, goodbye, mentor." Luna raised the corners of her mouth slightly and skipped away.
Wang Xu looked at her back until he could no longer see it, then whispered: "Fuck!"
