Obscure at Hogwarts

Chapter 230

"Ok?"

"He's actually here?"

Apart from the twins, Galen and other members of the Hogwarts Brewery, there was only one person who could use the brewery mark to contact him and knew Louis' real name.

It was the Dark Lord who was hiding in Knockturn Alley under the disguise of Mr. Borkin.

grindelwald.

At this time, Grindelwald did not stay in Knockturn Alley, but appeared nearby. Louis was really surprised. He immediately helped Galen set up the tent and used the winery mark to contact him:

"Mr. Grindelwald, I am indeed traveling for vacation, but this is just the camping spot we chose. Is there any problem?"

"No."

Slowly walking into the forest behind the small lake in front of Louis, Grindelwald smiled and replied: "I mistakenly thought that you also discovered that interesting thing and deliberately stayed near this forest."

"forest"

Louis pondered for a few seconds and asked: "You mean there is something strange about this forest?"

"Yes."

As if he guessed Louis's thoughts in an instant, Grindelwald nodded and continued to smile: "Louis, don't use magic to perceive. No matter how special the magic you hold is, you can't detect this forest." The peculiarity of it.”

"What's the point of sensing if you don't have magic power?"

"your eyes."

"Eye?"

"Well, you have to use your eyes."

Walking near a tree, Grindelwald casually pulled off a piece of bark, pointed at the wonderful symbols carved inside and said: "If I hadn't been paying attention to those people for a few days, I might not have been able to imagine that there were people there. He actually used such a strange method to build a magic circle in this forest."

"Look at these characters without any trace of magic use, Louis, what can you think of?"

"The rune letters that symbolize the ancient magic script."

Louis said firmly: "Perhaps it is the old magic mastered by the fortune telling bird."

"An interesting name for old magic."

"However, Louis, your answer is only half correct. These characters look like runes, but they are not."

Grindelwald, who loves to teach others, explained:

"Such characters are considered a branch of old magic. They are generally similar to rune letters. They are often used by those old rulers in magic circles. In fact, they are essentially different from rune letters. Using them consumes It’s not the magic power of a certain wizard, but the blood of a certain wizard as the medium.”

"There are a total of twenty similar characters in this forest, which means there are at least twenty wizards hidden here. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand, thank you."

Relying on Grindelwald's popular science, he had a general understanding of how this kind of old magic was used. Louis nodded his thanks and then asked:

"So what drew you here?"

"It's boring."

"boring?"

The corners of Louis' eyes twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: "Don't you think the troubles abroad no longer attract you? Or have you had enough of Dumbledore?"

However, when Louis gave full play to his imagination and wondered what Grindelwald meant by boredom, Grindelwald said calmly:

"I have to say, Louis, you have a very good sense. I always thought that Lucius of the Malfoy family was a fool, but I didn't expect that he could actually run Knockturn Alley in a sound and spectacular way."

"Now that Knockturn Alley has a perfect order under his management, many wizards' first choice for purchasing items has moved from Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley. Because of this, Fudge has complained to me a lot. !”

The topic suddenly turned to the "wise" Minister of Magic, and Louis couldn't help but sneer secretly. He didn't mind that whenever he stretched his hand into Knockturn Alley, he would cut off the hand he extended.

You know, under the management constraints of Lucius Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe, life in Knockturn Alley is becoming increasingly popular, and it is inevitable to somewhat crush Diagon Alley.

after all

The supply of goods that can be purchased in Knockturn Alley is much more than that in Diagon Alley from the beginning.

In the past, more people were willing to buy goods in Diagon Alley. The root problem was obviously the order of Knockturn Alley.

For most wizards living in the British wizarding world, Knockturn Alley was once a lawless place with no restrictions. The goods purchased from the shop for Galleons one second ago may be snatched by other wizards as soon as they leave the house. Go, you may have to take your life before you are robbed.

After Louis re-established the rules in Knockturn Alley, although there are still some dark wizards who like to play around with the rules and take advantage of loopholes in the rules to gain profits, the overall atmosphere of Knockturn Alley has been completely changed. The streets are a pleasure to look at.

But just like Louis imagined, everyone knows the shortcomings of Knockturn Alley in the past, that is, they lack the courage to make changes for it.

Nowadays, it is suddenly discovered that Knockturn Alley is a place where money is made every day. You, Cornelius Fudge, who has never contributed half to the reform of Knockturn Alley, actually want to use the power of the Ministry of Magic to pick peaches?

Pooh!

Daydreaming!

However, when Louis was thinking about slapping Cornelius Fudge over the matter of Knockturn Alley, and at the same time slapping the group of pure-blood wizard families who were interested in making money, he did not fall for Grindelwald's attempt to change the subject. Trap, replied calmly: "Knockturn Alley is my property. If Fudge is really interested, Mr. Grindelwald, I can talk to him face to face."

"Also, I'm curious, who is the wizard who makes you find interesting?"

"They are not human beings." Grindelwald said with a meaningful smile.

"not human?"

Louis raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it a werewolf wizard?"

“You’ll know for yourself when you have time to see it for yourself!”

Knowing what Louis' character was like, Grindelwald deliberately gave it a try and made an appointment with him: "At ten o'clock tonight, I will personally break the magic circle in this forest. Louis, if you are interested, come with me." Let me take a spin!"

"As it is"

“Vacation sideshow!”

Say it.

Grindelwald's figure immediately disappeared into the forest, interrupting the communication with Louis using the winery mark.

at the same time.

Originally, the three of them were also looking for a guarantee for their adventure trip.

Who among all the people can ensure the safety of the three of them?

It has to be Louis!

Therefore, when George and Fred tried their best to convince Kevin, the youngest explorer's face was filled with a warm smile, he came to Louis and lowered his voice:

"Louis, we have agreed to sneak out at ten o'clock tonight and explore the forest behind the small lake. Will you join us?"

"Speak first!"

"Whether you agree with it or not, please don't tell your parents, the adults know about this!"

"Otherwise our adventure plan will be ruined!"
