Chapter 278 Knockturn Alley
"Mr. Remus, I heard that you had a little teaching accident during class today"?
The fireplace in the principal's office was beating with golden flames. The apple wood with a unique fragrance was slowly cracking and burning under the high temperature, and the whole room was filled with fragrance.
"Yes, the fear in the hearts of a few students is too cruel and may have frightened other students."
With a bitter look on his face, Lupine sat down and took a sip of the black tea with too much sugar.
"This matter is actually my fault. I did not understand the students' situation in advance and conducted this practical class without authorization. I will be responsible."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me, Remus. What I want to say is that students do need some time to adapt to practice, so your class is indeed very necessary."
"As for this teaching accident, no parents of the students have complained to me yet, so let's just let it go."
Dumbledore shook his head, and then continued:
"Some students do have very dark pasts, but fortunately, they have come out of it."
"But, Remus, I would like to be able to stand by while you teach Harry."
Dumbledore said solemnly.
"Of course, Professor".
Lupine nodded.
"Today is a day off for the students. The students have already left. You can rent a house with the salary I gave you... but I strongly suggest you not to go to Spider Tail Alley, although the rent there is indeed It's cheap, but I seriously doubt Severus would break into your house in the middle of the night and kill you."
Dumbledore handed Lupin a small bag, which was full of gold coins.
"This is your salary for this month, 20 Galleons plus 50 Galleons for resettlement fees, a total of 75 Galleons. Remember to keep it."
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, I do have to go back to Knockturn Alley today, and my werewolf brothers are still helping me look after my luggage, even though those things are not valuable"...
Lupine said in great surprise.
"Ah, Knockturn Alley"...
Dumbledore thought for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Maybe you will meet some acquaintances there, but you don't need to take action. They just want to experience it."
"Huh? Hogwarts has now begun to encourage students to go to such dangerous places to experience? Even I don't dare to go deep into the alleys, aren't you afraid that something will happen to the students?"
Lupine asked very surprised.
"No, no, those two students are special. I can guarantee you that even if you transform on a full moon night, those two students can easily knock you out with their fists. After all, A student’s mother did something like this back then.”
Dumbledore rubbed his head with a headache.
"Ah, are you talking about Mr. Zirol? I have no doubt that he can do this, because his fear vision is the scariest one in the whole class. I vomited it out after seeing it."
Lu Ping nodded with understanding.
"Let your friends just watch in secret, and never have a real conflict with those two students."
Dumbledore warned again.
"I think I don't quite understand, Principal Dumbledore, those are just two children. Although they have talents and abilities far beyond ordinary people, they don't need to mobilize so much, right?"
Lupine became even more confused.
"Mr. Zirol has been tricked by our Minister Fudge several times. I suspect that he wants to find something to do for the peaceful Ministry of Magic."
Dumbledore sighed.
"He shouldn't do anything that could threaten the lives of the Aurors, but I seriously doubt that he is absolutely capable of cleaning up the entire power structure of Knockturn Alley and turning it upside down."
………………
"Why did you bring me here?"
Two black figures wearing hooded robes were standing in front of a dilapidated alley, one of them was complaining to the other.
"Where there is sunshine, there will also be shadows. You have seen the sunshine this year, and it is time to take a look at the shadows."
Another person sighed a little.
"Do you remember your name?"
"My name is Karen Kaslana, your name is"...
"Inventor, that's all."
Zhang Qi curled his index finger and hit the girl next to him on the head.
"Don't tell me that you can't remember. The memory of hybrids can easily reach a level beyond the reach of ordinary people even without the blessing of the spirit of speech, unless you didn't listen at all."
"I listened"!
Astoria said somewhat unconvinced.
"Remember, almost all the people inside have some criminal record. If anyone intends to harm you, don't worry about anything, just kill them."
Zhang Qi emphasized again.
"This place, like Diagon Alley, requires a special mechanism to open, which is this trash can."
Zhang Qi walked to a broken trash can, endured the smell and kicked it.
"Boom"!
As a dull sound sounded, the shallow alley immediately extended inside.
"It turns out to be hidden here. I have passed by this place many times, but I never noticed it once."
Astoria looked at the alley extending inside with great curiosity.
There are also people coming and going inside, and it's even more crowded than the opposite corner outside.
However, everyone here wears big hoods, and the few who do not wear hats also wear masks, so as not to show their true colors.
"There is magic set up at the entrance of the alley, which will monitor everyone's entry and exit, so put on your mask now."
Astoria put on a purple beak mask with two feathers of different lengths stuck on one end of the mask, which looked very meaningful.
"Ah, what a beautiful mask, Miss Kaslana."
Zhang Qi looked at what he and Ms. Ravenclaw had spent several days creating and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Ah, new guy".
The two of them slowly walked forward along the crowded street, with many people casting scrutinizing glances along the way.
Most of those gazes are full of greed, and occasionally bloodlust and desire from some such as vampires and werewolves.
If it were an ordinary wizard, as long as he could keep his legs trembling and turn back out of the alley, the Aurors from the Department of Justice of the British Ministry of Magic would sincerely call him a real man.
However, even wearing masks, these two people were still able to release a great sense of coercion. This sense of coercion made the thoughtful dark wizards next to them re-evaluate their weight and finally gave up. The idea of making trouble.
Some people may have trouble with money, but no one really has trouble with life.
