The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 542 Borgin-Bock
Knockturn Alley is the largest gray trading center in the British wizarding world, where you can find almost all items banned by the Ministry of Magic, and even evil black magic products.

However, Voldemort's comeback still had an impact on the industry of Knockturn Alley. There were only two or three big cats and kittens on the street, and the shops that were open were empty and cold.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Voldemort’s existence makes everyone feel terrified. Without the desire to shop, these shops can only stand upright.Compared with Diagon Alley next door, the situation in Knockturn Alley is not the worst.

In the Borgin-Bock store, Mr. Borgin is taking care of his thick blond hair. This will not make him look more handsome and youthful, but will only make him look greasy.

With the pleasant ringing of the bell hanging in front of the door, Ada and Lola walked into Borgin-Bock.

The hunchbacked Mr. Borgin immediately straightened his waist and greeted him enthusiastically. Even though the wanted criminal from the Ministry of Magic appeared in front of him, Mr. Borgin did not neglect him.

"Ah, Miss Drizzt, you are welcome!" Mr. Bokin's emphasis was slick, as if he had eaten a bottle of lubricating oil.

Mr. Bojin did not let Ada and Ada stay in the lobby, but led them to the back cabin.After the guests and hosts were seated, Mr. Bo Jin served a glass of red wine to the two, and continued to say compliments.

People like Mr. Bokin have seen a lot of dark wizards, so they won't make a fuss because of Ada's status as a wanted criminal.As a dark wizard, Ada has a very good reputation. After all, in the general public's perception, she only works for the Ministry of Magic.

"Miss Drizzt, is there anything I can do for you?" Mr. Borgin said. "It would be Borgin-Bock's honor if I could contribute to your great cause."

Don't look at Mr. Bojin smiling now, but he is a smiling tiger who eats people without spit out his bones, and he is also a damn profiteer!

"You don't need to be so polite, Mr. Bokin." Ada also said with a smile, "This is not the first time we have dealt with each other. We had a business a few years ago."

The smile on Mr. Bojin's face and the movements of his hands froze for a second, and then he continued to greet Ada to prevent the scene from cooling down.

And in that second, Mr. Bojin carefully recalled when he met Ada. With Ada's appearance and tough reputation, as long as he saw it, it was impossible not to have an impression.

"Let me help you recall, Mr. Bokin. The last time we met, I sold you the skin of a basilisk." Ada said, "Remember? You were very enthusiastic at the time, compared to Be more enthusiastic today."

Now that Mr. Bojin remembered, his back became even more bent.Before receiving the basilisk skin, there had been no news of basilisks in England for 400 years, not to mention that Mr. Bojin, who planned to cheat on others, hired four men for it.

The scene seemed to turn cold because of Ada's words, and Mr. Bojin also felt a little bit of desire in his heart. The rumored Esmeralda Drizzt is a woman who will take revenge.

"We don't know each other, Mr. Bojin." Ada passed a step.

Although she shouted in her mouth to do justice for the heavens and defeat profiteers, Ada didn't really plan to do anything to Borgin Bock, she had already taught him a lesson.You have to be forgiving and forgiving, there is no need to kill Borgin-Bock.

"Of course, of course. At that time, you were already a dragon and a phoenix among people, and it was a stupid old man like me who had no eyes." Mr. Bo Jin complimented, and he also paid more respect to Ada's title.People under the low eaves had to bow their heads.

"Where, where, I can run a store for decades, all thanks to Mr. Bo Jin's good management..."

Listening to the two complimenting each other, Laura on the side kicked Ida under the table to get her to the point.

After Ada was kicked, she stopped going around in circles. She said directly, "I came here today to ask for something. I hope Mr. Bojin can do me a favor."

As soon as this remark came out, Mr. Bojin's heart was broken, and he was really afraid of something.Mr. Borgin was just a businessman, and he wanted nothing to do with Dumbledore, Voldemort, or Ada.

"What can I help you with?" Mr. Bokin asked, "I will help if I can, but if I can't...Miss Drizzt will definitely understand our difficulties."

Mr. Bojin's words were very tactful, but he also left a way for himself to refuse help.

Mr. Bojin didn't dare to refuse directly, for fear that Ada would punish Bojin-Bock for two crimes. His old bones can't stop Ada now.

All the people here are smart people, so they can understand Bo Jin's polite refusal.Laura leaned against the door calmly to prevent any emergencies.

"It's just a small thing, I just need a piece of your memory." Ada still said with a smile, without getting angry.Those who achieve major events should have thunder in their chests and their faces are like a flat lake.

"Many, many years ago, a young pregnant woman sold a locket here, Salazar Slytherin's locket. Do you remember that?"

Ada continued: "By the way, the young pregnant woman only got ten Galleons, even though the locket is priceless."

Of course, Mr. Bokin has an impression of this matter. It is the most profitable business since Bojin-Bock was founded.Ada just reminded him a little, and Mr. Bojin immediately recalled the scene that made him wake up from his dreams with laughter.

But Mr. Bojin didn't say it right away, but showed embarrassment, as if he couldn't remember, or there was something embarrassing.This is a common problem of businessmen, if they don't see rabbits, they won't scatter eagles.

"I hope Mr. Bojin can help me. We are friends, aren't we?" Ada said with a smile, "I have all kinds of bad things about me. The only good thing is that I like to take care of my friends."

That is to say, Laura was present today. If Laura was not present, Ada would probably say this: I, Esmeralda Drizzt, have been out for so long because of three things: ruthlessness, loyalty, and many brothers.

With Ada's promise not counting as a promise, Mr. Bojin opened the conversation box and told the scene of buying the locket at the beginning.

It was just before Christmas, in a snowstorm, and a shabby pregnant woman broke into Borgin-Bock.She said she was in desperate need of money, so she produced a locket, which she said belonged to a Slytherin once.I don't know if the young pregnant woman didn't understand the market, or she really needed it urgently, but just ten galleons made her content.

Mr. Boggin said with a smile on his face: "The locket indeed belonged to Salazar Slytherin. We in this industry have our means to distinguish the authenticity. But I suspect that the woman stole it, Not like she said herself."

Compassion does not command soldiers, righteousness does not conduct business.Instead of sympathizing with the pregnant Merope, Mr. Bojin regarded her as a stupid thief.

"The locket?" Ada asked.

"It's been sold long ago. That's our most profitable business." Bojin continued, "I'm sorry, but I can't tell where the locket is. Bock is dead."

Bo Jin added sincerely: "I hope Miss Drizzt can understand our difficulties."

It has now been confirmed that the locket briefly appeared at Borgin-Bok before it was resold to someone else.Ada was thinking over and over again in her mind, thinking about how she would get it out of Borgin-Bock's mouth.

After thinking for a while, Ada said in a deep voice, "That young pregnant woman is not a stupid thief."

"What did you say?" Mr. Bojin asked, "Does Miss Drizzt know that pregnant woman?" After thinking about the time and Ada's age, Bojin changed his words again: "Do you know that pregnant woman?"

"Yes, her maiden name was Merope Gaunt, the Gaunt you know," said Ada. "You're not going to sell the locket without knowing where it came from?"

Mr. Bojin's complexion changed a little, he was hesitating in his heart.

"Pregnant Merope later gave birth to a baby boy. Shall I name his name, Mr. Borgin?" Ada put the last weight on the already tilted scales.

After thinking for a long time, Bo Jin finally said: "Well, I can tell you who I sold the locket to. But even so, you can't find it."
