Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

He didn't relax until he heard that the two people were rescued.

When he heard that a guy suspected to be a dark wizard was also left behind, his expression changed.

After hearing the whole story, he glared at his son fiercely and said, "Go home and stay at home. Don't go out! I'll deal with you two later!"

Theo's face froze.

Then John pointed his wand at the sticky notes on the side of the counter, and a few pieces of paper flew out, automatically folded into a simple paper airplane, and flew out with a whoosh.

Soon, six or seven wizards and witches came out of other shops.

As a pure-blood family, although the Mancini family is not as large as the Weasley family, it still has quite a few relatives and friends.

In addition to his father John, there is also his uncle Jason's magic supplies store in Diagon Alley. In addition, his aunt, cousin and other relatives also work in Diagon Alley.

John Mancini explained the whole story to them. They were all furious and quickly headed towards the alley.

Only Theo's cousin stayed behind to watch over the two children, protecting them from further danger.

Theo pretended to be well-behaved and pulled his brother back, whispering to him: "Wright, I have to go out for a while, you attract the attention of your cousin."

"Leave it to me!" Wright said confidently, "I guarantee that the task will be completed!"

Then, he let out an earth-shattering cry: "Wa wah wah..."

"What's wrong?" Cousin Theo was startled and hurried over to comfort him.

“It’s so scary!” Wright grabbed her sleeve and cried loudly: “We were almost captured by the bad guys… wuwuwu…”

"Weren't you afraid just now?" My cousin said helplessly, "Don't cry, I'll perform a magic trick for you, okay..."

While she was trying to coax the child, Theo quietly slipped out of the store.

He quickly ran to the alley, but did not see Werner. He only saw that the wizard had been given the antidote to the water of life and death by his father and had woken up.

"Veritaserum, three drops are enough." Uncle Jason took out a small bottle and said, "It's not easy for me to get this, don't waste it."

John opened the wizard's mouth and poured three drops of clear potion into it.

The wizard's struggle stopped immediately. He looked at the sky with a dazed look and answered whatever was asked.

"Who are you?" John asked.

"I'm Chad Brick, a..." His eyelids fluttered and he whispered, "A werewolf."

The expressions of the Mancini family members suddenly changed.

During the war, children in the wizarding world were often abducted by werewolves and then infected and turned into werewolves.

They were raised to fear and hate wizards, and when they grew up they became part of the werewolf army, following Fenrir Greyback to attack wizards.

There are also children who are bitten and left to their parents, and then they will turn into werewolves every month and attack everyone around them indiscriminately.

This is undoubtedly a devastating disaster for a family.

If the Mancini brothers were taken away by this werewolf, the consequences would be almost self-evident.

But in recent years, this kind of thing has clearly rarely happened.

John took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and asked, "Then why did you attack those two kids? Do you have a grudge against our Mancini family?"

"No." Chad Brick said in a flat tone, "I was in a bad mood, and they bumped into me, and my parents were not around..."

"You bastard!" John threw a punch but was caught by his brother.

"Who is that old witch? Do you have other accomplices?" Jason asked relatively calmly.

"She calls herself Ursula, and I met her at Knockturn Alley."

Chad Brick said: "I don't have any accomplices. She likes children's eyes and nails. When she saw me taking those two children away, she wanted to share some of the benefits..."

"Dirty beast!" John Mancini couldn't help but curse.

Theo didn't listen any more. He thought about the direction Werner originally walked in and how he was dressed, and suddenly thought of something.

There is a street in Diagon Alley that sells only second-hand goods.

Poor wizards often shop there and occasionally buy something that is worth the money, but most of the time they just pick out the less-junk stuff from the junk.

Theo ran over quickly and saw the back of the gray-robed wizard in the distance. He was bending over to check the pile of groceries that the owner had placed outside.

Theo ran over, but suddenly he didn't know what to call him: "That... Mr. Werner..."

"You just went through that and you're running around again." Werner turned around and lectured him, "Are you so careless about your own safety?"

Theo suddenly didn't want to pretend anymore. He said with empty eyes: "Are you going to kidnap me too? Respected Mr. Venal? Or..."

He moved his lips slightly and said silently:

[…Ved.]

Wade raised his eyebrows, but did not deny it. He looked down at his outfit and asked, "Where are the flaws?"

Theo pointed to his sleeve and whispered, "I recognize your wand."

Wade sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it because I haven't bought the second one yet."

Theo discovered that what Wade had just been looking at were a few old wands that the owner had placed in a wooden barrel, some of which had even their inner cores exposed.

"There's no good stuff here," Theo said. "Come with me. I know where you can buy a reliable second-hand wand."

Chapter 123 Leslie's Grocery Store

Theo grew up in Diagon Alley and was familiar with most of the shops, except for places like Knockturn Alley where his parents didn't allow him to go.

Through the influence of his surroundings, even without paying special attention, he basically knew which stores had good quality products and low prices, and which store owners were cunning and deceitful.

"We call this place Junk Lane because everyone says they sell junk."

Theo said.

Diagon Alley was relatively clean and tidy, but this street was like a rural market that Wade had seen before, with all kinds of things piled up on the roadside.

At first glance, you might think there are a wide variety of goods, but if you look closely, most of them are things that have been thrown on the ground and no one has picked them up.

— old, yellowed books, odd-shaped stones, roughly carved wood, bald quills, worn carpets and pitchers.

Thanks to these things, the road left in the middle became very narrow.

Theo led Wade through the winding streets, while imparting to Wade the experience he had heard from his elders:

"Uncle Jason told me that you can come here during the day, but don't get close after six o'clock."

"After dark, some thieves or werewolves will come to this place to sell stolen goods."

"And what's outside is all garbage. Even if you pick it up for free, it's just taking up space. The really good stuff is all kept inside by the store owner."

"But many store owners judge people by their appearance, and newcomers can easily be ripped off when they first go there. In comparison, Boone Leslie is much better."

"The prices are clearly marked. They may be a little more expensive than others, but they are definitely worth the money, and they won't trick you into spending a lot of money on some junk."

They came to the end of the alley, and Wade looked up and saw the words "Leslie's Grocery Store" written on the wooden sign.

Theo pushed the door open, and the bird-shaped wind chimes hanging by the door immediately chirped, and in a blink of an eye, the entire store lit up.

Dozens of magic candles were lit one after another from the door to the depths, illuminating the originally dim shop windows and making them bright and clean.

An old man in a wheelchair slid over silently.

His hair, a mixture of white and black, was messy, like a ball of steel wool; his eyebrows were thick and black, and very conspicuous.

The green wizard robe was washed white, and a pilling plaid blanket covered his knees. On the blanket, a pitch-black cat squatted.

"Mr. Leslie," Theo said with a bright smile, "I brought a friend to your place to buy some things."

"Ah."

Leslie also smiled. He glanced at Wade and said, "Take a look at it casually. The price on the label is the selling price."

"Ok."

Vader nodded and walked into the store.

Behind him, Leslie was still chatting with Theo: "You little guy, school is about to start, right?"

"Another week."

"Why are you here today? Didn't Mancini tell you not to run around alone?"

"I'm not alone. I'm with Mr. Werner! My brother and I were almost kidnapped by a werewolf today. It was Mr. Werner who saved me..."

Theo made no attempt to hide his morning experiences.

Leslie's expression immediately became serious: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Theo said, "In the morning..."

……

The goods in the grocery store are neatly arranged, just like an ordinary supermarket.

There are rows of shelves, and the goods are all labeled with price tags. Some of them also have words like "Extremely dangerous, please do not take without permission" written on them.

The prices are a bit higher than those second-hand shops outside, but much cheaper than the shops in Diagon Alley.

For example, a magic wand.

The wands that Ollivander sells to new students range from a few Galleons to more than ten Galleons. Some adult wizards like to have their wands inlaid with gold and jade, which makes them even more expensive.

The wands in Leslie's shop are basically around one or two Galleons, and there is a small area next to it for testing magic effects, with feathers, stones, spiders and other items on it.

These wands were covered in dust and had obvious signs of use, but at least they were in good condition.

Some of the wands on display in thrift stores even have obvious signs of being broken and repaired, and they only cost a few Sickles.

Wade thought that when casting a spell with a wand like that, it was not certain whether the enemy would be hit, but the user might end up sending himself to St. Mungo's.

Vader's own wand is poplar wood and unicorn hair.

Poplar is a wand that is trustworthy, tolerant, and of consistently great power, requiring a clear moral character in its owner.

Unicorn hair produces the most consistent magic and is the most loyal wand, but is difficult to use with dark magic.
