Chapter 170: A trip to Knockturn Alley!
Charlotte turned her head and looked at Malfoy: "Of course, Malfoy, I hope your actions are not just words."
Malfoy glared at Charlotte, then left angrily with his two followers.
Charlotte looked at Hermione and others reading seriously. He thought for a moment, then he moved his finger and disappeared on the spot.
At the same time a note appeared in his place.
The air twisted, and Charlotte appeared in the Ravenclaw common room.
Nowadays, Ravenclaw wizards are usually in the library or library in the common room, and there is no one in the lounge outside.
Charlotte walked to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of Floo powder from her pocket.
He bought this on his way to Hogsmeade.
Standing in the fireplace, Charlotte sprinkled the Floo powder and shouted, "Knockturn Alley!"
With a bang, green flames burned, and "287" instantly transferred Charlotte's body to Knockturn Alley.
Knockturn Alley is located next to Diagon Alley. It is a place where all kinds of people mix together and is despised by ordinary wizards. Knockturn Alley is full of dark magic shops, and most of the things sold in them are full of evil.
As soon as Charlotte arrived at Knockturn Alley, he attracted a lot of people's attention. He was just reaching out to brush the dust off his robe when a withered hand rested on his shoulder and a sharp, hoarse voice sounded behind him.
"Baby, are you lost?"
A purple electric current lit up Charlotte's body and rushed towards the hand without any hesitation. A scream came from behind her. Charlotte turned her head and saw an old witch wearing a pointed wizard hat and a shabby earth-gray wizard robe staring at her with hatred. Her right hand was trembling and smoking continuously.
"Of course not, ma'am." Charlotte smiled, straightened her clothes and walked forward.
The wizards in Knockturn Alley are almost all dark wizards. Their clothes are completely different from those of the wizards in Diagon Alley, and they are visibly filled with all kinds of strange and evil auras.
Therefore, as soon as Charlotte arrived in Knockturn Alley, she instantly attracted the attention of many wizards.
Especially since he did not cover up his Hogwarts uniform at all, many wizards followed him secretly.
Feeling more and more malicious gazes from behind, Charlotte stopped and looked at the crowd behind him.
He scanned the crowd, holding out his wand.
"Li Yan."
Charlotte whispered, and a fiery red flame shot out from his wand, instantly separating him from the crowd behind him. The wizards who were close jumped back suddenly and exclaimed, "It's Fiendfyre!"
"Oh my God!"
Many wizards looked at Charlotte's figure in the firelight with horror. Charlotte glanced at them and then walked forward.
"Why are wizards from Hogwarts coming to Knockturn Alley?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's an undercover agent sent by Dumbledore."
"My Gorgon, it's terrifying."
The fierce flames gradually died down, but the wizards did not dare to follow. They just stayed where they were and whispered to each other, or went back to find the shop they needed.
Charlotte moved among the crowd. Although there were still many inquiring, evil and malicious gazes, no one dared to stand in front of him.
After all, a wizard who can use fierce fire is not so easy to deal with.
Just as Charlotte disappeared around the corner, some dark wizards looked at each other, then lowered their hoods and moved closer to Charlotte's position as if unintentionally.
"13B Knockturn Alley, Borgin and Burke's." Charlotte looked up at the shop opposite.
Borgin and Burke's is the largest magic shop in Knockturn Alley. It sells not only various things that cannot be bought in Diagon Alley, but also various things full of taboos and evil meanings, such as giant black spiders, shrunken human heads, skulls, hideous masks, etc.
Borgin and Burke not only sells various high-quality black magic items, but also collects various magical goods from others.
After finding Borgin and Burke's, Charlotte walked in. The owner, named Borgin, suddenly jumped out and stood in front of Charlotte with caution and suspicion in his eyes.
"Little boy, this is not a toy store."
Charlotte looked at Borgin, who had a bare forehead and looked very malicious.
“I’m here to sell something.”
Borgin looked at Charlotte suspiciously. He saw the Hogwarts clothes on Charlotte and frowned: "We are a store here. Okay, kid, you should leave."
Charlotte stretched out his hand, and a large piece of bone appeared in his hand: "I want to sell some bat bones."
Borgin originally thought that Charlotte looked underage, what could a child have to sell? Moreover, this child came from Hogwarts, so he might have gone to the wrong place.
But when Charlotte took out the bone stone, he was stunned.
Borgin and Burke handled a lot of shady businesses and sold all kinds of dangerous items. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of magical things that passed through his hands.
Borgin recognized it immediately; it was a bat humerus.
The largest bat Bogin had ever seen was only as big as a cabinet at most, but this humerus was about as tall as a child, so it was self-evident how big the whole bat was.
Borgin and Burke's doesn't just sell all kinds of weird things, it also sells rare things. Borgin also likes to collect those weird things. What's more, this bat bone has a magical power.
If I use it to make potions, I'm afraid people will fight over it.
"You only have one bone?" Borgin asked tentatively.
"Of course not, I have a complete skeleton," said Charlotte.
There was a hint of caution in Borgin's eyes as he led Charlotte through the front to the back room.
When Charlotte came out again, Borgin's gloomy face was rarely covered with a smile. He walked Charlotte to the door and kindly advised: "Next time, if you have something good, please consider our Borgin and Burke's shop first. It is a hundred times better than the Diagon Alley next door."
Charlotte nodded: "Of course."
Charlotte, holding a bag of gold Galleons, quickly walked into the crowd of 4.2 and disappeared in the flow of people.
When we returned to Hogwarts again, it was already late.
Charlotte went downstairs to the restaurant to eat. Qiao Ya, Hermione, Ron and Harry were just walking over from the opposite side. Hermione quickly walked up to Charlotte and said, "Charlotte, you didn't tell us and then walked away!"
Charlotte smiled and said, "I have something to do and don't want to disturb you. Come on, come on, I heard there's pudding today. Really, I want to eat it so badly."
Charlotte held out her hand and pushed Hermione into the dining room.
Now that I have enough money, the most important thing is to wait for Dumbledore to come back, ask him, and take a back door.
After all, it would be better for him to stay in the magic world during this winter vacation. Returning to the orphanage was not the best choice after all.
Chapter 171: Heading to the Black House!
The final exam is coming soon.
Charlotte and Hermione were confident of winning and walked out of each examination room with confidence.
The last exam was History of Magic. Qiao Ya frowned as she answered the questions with a quill pen in the exam room. When she came out, she said with a sad face, "Oh, I'm done."
"what happened?"
"What a weird question! How am I supposed to know which weird old wizard invented the self-stirring crucible?" Qiao Ya lowered her head.
Charlotte smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just a small question and it won't affect your grades."
When a group of young wizards came out of the examination room, the weather outside was just right. Charlotte and Qiao Ya waited at the door for a while. Hermione, Ron and Harry came out of another examination room and followed them down the slope.
They walked slowly down and sat under a tree, where Fred and George were poking a giant octopus in the lake with branches.
"The exam is finally over." Ron lay on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Charlotte looked at the giant lake in front of her. Today's weather was good and the sun was shining. Five people were sitting side by side, and Hermione was talking about her own test questions.
"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrongly. Let me think about it. The first spell in the battle between wizards and werewolves in the South African forest in 1935 didn't seem to be..."
Ron covered his ears and said, "Hermione, please stop talking about this. We have finished the exam, right?"
Hermione stopped and looked at Ron dissatisfiedly: "Okay, okay, I just want to review the content of the exam."
Qiao Ya sat aside and looked at Ron in agreement: "I really don't want to hear this again."
Charlotte listened to the voices of several people around her and looked up at the sky. Countless owls were flying in the sky. They were the wizards' owls delivering messages.
As they watched, a snow-white owl and a brown owl flew towards the lake, and Charlotte and Harry stretched out their hands at the same time.
Harry happily opened the owl letter and said, "It seems to be a letter from Sirius. It seems that he already knows that I have finished the exam."
Charlotte reached out to catch the owl and threw some food up to him. The owl brought him the latest Daily Prophet and a letter from Mad-Eye Moody.
He opened Moody's letter.
Azkaban has been rebuilt and Dementors are no longer sent out, but Aurors are used instead. The Dementors are scattered everywhere, and Moody advises Charlotte not to leave Hogwarts casually.
Although Azkaban has been rebuilt, none of the previously released prisoners have been found. Some traces of Pettigrew have been found. Dumbledore seems to be dealing with these matters and will probably return to Hogwarts soon.
Charlotte put the letter away and then opened the Daily Prophet.
The Daily Prophet also wrote about this incident and published some photos of prisoners, including the faces of a series of fugitives such as Pettigrew and Bella.
After reading it, Charlotte put away the Daily Prophet. Harry reached out and tugged at Charlotte's black robe, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Charlotte."
Charlotte turned her head and looked at Harry gently: "What's wrong?"
"Can I invite you to my house during the winter break? Sirius has a lot of books at home, and I want to thank you for saving me last time." Harry lowered his head, as if he was afraid that what he said might offend Charlotte, and hurriedly said, "Sirius would also like to invite you over. There are only Sirius and I at home, I wonder if it's okay."
Harry looked up at Charlotte, looking very nervous.
"Okay, that's great. I also want to see the Black family's collection of books." Charlotte said with a smile.
Harry's eyes lit up and he took out the letter and handed it to Charlotte.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows. In addition to the letter to Harry, there was also an exquisite-looking invitation letter to him.
This was the first time he received an invitation letter.
Seeing Charlotte accept the invitation, Harry smiled happily and said, "Great! This way we can stay together for the entire winter vacation!"
Ron also came over, looked at the invitation and said, "That's great, then I can also go to the Black family to see you, Charlotte, the three of us can have a winter vacation!"
A winter vacation!
They can do a lot of things, especially since Charlotte can also become invisible, so there shouldn’t be too many things they can do!
"No! Hogwarts doesn't allow us to use magic outside of school! Have you forgotten the school rules? This year Gryffindor almost lost to Slytherin because of you two. Don't forget!" Hermione said on the side.
She worked hard in class every day to earn some points, but they were all deducted by these two guys in just two days, which made Hermione very unhappy.
"Hermione, don't be like this, it's winter break, we can have lots of fun, maybe we can even go visit you."
Qiao Ya's eyes lit up. She had always wanted to go to the Muggle world with Charlotte.
"Yeah, since we don't have anything to do during this winter break anyway, how about we secretly go to the Muggle world together?"
Charlotte, Harry and Hermione had no objection, but Ron and Joya seemed extremely excited. After a brief discussion, the five of them decided to secretly take a tour of the Muggle world.
A week after the final exam, the scores came out quickly. Charlotte was still the top student in the grade, and Hermione still held the second place.
287 For this reason, Hermione pestered Charlotte to tell her her secret of studying for a long time, and only stopped after she saw that Charlotte was a gifted person.
The winter vacation soon arrived, and Charlotte packed her things and then returned to the Black family's home at 12 Grimmauld Place in London with Charlotte.
Harry always thought this was the Black family's home, but in fact this is not only the Black family's ancestral home, but also the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
Sirius had been waiting at the door of the Black family. As soon as Charlotte came in, he saw Sirius.
This was the first time he saw Sirius.
He had completely gotten rid of the influence of Azkaban and had returned to his normal self, even looking a bit like a teenager.
He is tall and thin, handsome and elegant, with black hair and grey eyes. Compared to the carefree and unrestrained boyhood, Sirius is now more mature.
Although his eyes still gave him aristocratic elegance, there was a hint of humility in them.
"I think you are Shiloh Elvis. It's very presumptuous of me to invite you here at this time, but I really want to meet you."
Sirius stretched out his hand, and Charlotte stretched out her hand and held it with his. Sirius walked over and hugged Charlotte tightly.
"Thank you, kid."
Chapter 172: Kreacher the Elf!
Charlotte knew what Sirius was talking about. What he wanted to say was that he had found Pettigrew before and cleared him of the injustice, which allowed him to adopt Harry and say goodbye to Azkaban.
Sirius has always been very grateful to Charlotte, but he has never found a chance to meet her.
