Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

"You take a cat to humiliate me!?"

When Tom saw the cat holding the luggage, he immediately realized whose name Geralt was calling.

"My pet at school, Tom the Cat, came to say hello to Senior Tom. "

Lorne leaned back in a chair next to him, raised an eyebrow and whispered.

After hearing his master's command, Tom also looked at the handsome young man sitting behind the desk, and then bent down slightly and bowed.

He looks very polite.

“... Are you sure it's a cat?"

Tom was silent for a moment, the corner of his eye twitching.

Your cat was transformed by Animagus, right?

No matter how you look at this movement and walking upright, it is not something that ordinary cats can do, not to mention that this Tom cat is two or three times larger than other cats.

"Tom is just a little smarter than the other cats. "

Lorne looked at Tom in a daze and explained.

After all, his Tom cat knows how to use a wand.

"How's the Borgin Bock store?"

After a moment of small talk, Lorne suddenly remembered something and asked.

He remembered the last time Sirius had written a letter, mentioning that the current Tumbledown Alley was just the old man who had not solved it.

"Mr. Borgin isn't that easy to solve, otherwise why do you think he's been in Tumbledown Alley for so many years?"

Speaking of the shop, Tom leaned back in his chair and whispered.

He had worked in that shop before, so he knew that the owner was not as simple as it seemed.

At least the illegal shops in Tumbledown Alley were rebelling against them along with Bogin, which cost Tom a lot of time in this regard.

"Is it..."

Lorne nodded knowingly.

"The few remaining Dark Wizard shops have all been settled recently, though—it's time to pay a visit to Mr. Borgin tomorrow. "

Tom said as he tapped the table with a quill and a smile on his lips.

"Tumbledown Alley is in need of a new owner. "

Hearing these words, Lorne nodded slightly.

.........

By the time I got back from Tumbledown Alley, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

Pushing away the potion shop that had been sealed for half a year, the crisp wind chimes rang again.

Lorne had just walked into the shop, and his wand was shining lightly.

"Clean up. "

As the spell sounded, the dust in the entire room dissipated in an instant.

Looking at the clean and tidy hall, he nodded with satisfaction.

The entire hall was the same as before it left, untouched by anyone.

Tom Cat carried a small suitcase and followed him into the closed potion shop.

"Tonight you'll sleep on the couch and light the fireplace if it's cold. "

After Lorne finished speaking, he went straight to the second floor.

Across from his room was Hermione's room, and the two of them were facing each other.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lorne cleaned up the pink room by the way.

After all, Miss Granger won't be here soon.

"When Hermione comes, I'll go straight to the Burrow..."

Looking out the window at the silent street, Lorne whispered to himself.

He remembered that the Weasley brothers had told him that Lovegood's home was near the Burrow.

If nothing else, Miss Luna should be in a hurry to make an agreement with him, right?

Picking up the latest issue of "Singing Against the Tune", a slight smile appeared on the corner of Lorne's mouth.

Hopefully, Luna's choice won't disappoint him.

.........

Early the next morning.

"I'm really not used to having a little witch as a pillow..."

Lorne half-sat up, his pale blue eyes looking out the window a little sleepily.

The entire Diagon Alley is shrouded in a white mist, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Thinking of his pillow, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Sure enough, I'm still used to Hermione's existence, and it's inevitable that I will have some insomnia when I sleep alone.

Yawned slightly, and then Lorne got up and put on his clothes.

After a brief wash, he walked down the stairs.

There was also a Tom sleeping on the couch in the hall, and several books that had been turned around it were messed up around it.

After Lorne prepared himself a cup of coffee, he went out and walked towards the location of Tumbledown Alley.

Walking among the dilapidated houses, his eyes were also looking around.

It was clear that this place was more desolate than before, and there used to be one or two hooded dark wizards on the road, but now there was no one to be seen.

That's right—after all, the Dark Wizard Order in Tumbledown Alley has made a name for itself.

"The Prophet", "Singing the Opposite" and many other well-known newspapers are reporting on the incident of Tumbledown Alley.

There are even reports claiming that if the Ministry of Magic does not carry out encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that the next Dark Lord will come out of here.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as he walked to Tom's door, Lorne saw Sirius and Tom with the hood, and asked curiously.

Behind the two of them, there was a group of wizards wearing the same hoods.

Is this another attack on Malfoy Manor?

"Go to Bogin's shop and get rid of the last thorn that thorns the hand. "

Tom raised his head, revealing a cold black gaze.

As long as the old man is settled, the property of Tumbledown Alley is in his hands - or Lorne's.

Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help but glance at Lorne.

I sighed slightly in my heart.

In the final analysis, he is just a tool of the other party, and everything he does now is to help the other party work.

I wanted to strike, but my controlled body didn't allow it.

Inside the Bogin store.

As there was a knock on the door, Bo Jin, who opened the door, also saw a group of dark wizards in front of his door.

His grim gaze narrowed.

"There are only two paths before you now, one is to embrace death and the other is to surrender. "

Tom, the leader, didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly stated his purpose.

"Don't expect those stores to help you, they can't protect themselves right now. "

Hearing this, Bo Jin showed a sneer.

"Who do you think you are?"

"Voldemort?"
