Chapter 4109 4111【Mysterious Wizard】
Xiang Nan took Lily out of the Borgin & Burke store, and then quickly walked out of Knockturn Alley.
Although they bumped into a few dark wizards on the road, they were all shocked when they saw the two of them, and hid faster than the two of them, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
Therefore, Xiang Nan and the two were able to successfully walk out of Knockturn Alley and arrived at Diagon Alley.
"Where were you just now?" Lily asked doubtfully.
"That alley is Knockturn Alley." Xiang Nan explained, "It is the filthiest and darkest place in the magical world. The shops there sell all black magic items, and only dark wizards gather there.
I heard from my mother that dark wizards like to kidnap underage wizards the most. Because they contain magic power in their bodies, they are very good materials for casting spells, especially black magic. "
"Will they kill them?" Lily said in horror, immediately thinking of the materials used in the Potions class. Caterpillars, toad eggs, frog livers, mouse tails, unicorn tail hairs...
When she used these materials to brew the potion, she never imagined that she might one day become the ingredients.
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "The blood, internal organs, bones, brains, skin, and even souls of wizards are all the materials that dark wizards crave. So don't be curious and run alone to knock them over. Lane. Once something happens, it will be too late to regret.”
Lily's face turned pale when she heard this, and she nodded quickly.
…
Afterwards, the two went to Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley and bought the textbooks they needed for second grade. Xiang Nan paid for them.
"Sif, thank you, I will pay you back the money." Lily said to Xiang Nan.
"Don't say that. You help me brew the magic potion. You don't even need a copper nut, so two textbooks are nothing." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
"I can only help you, I might as well learn more from you." Lily waved her hand and said.
She can only brew some simple potions. She couldn't take the elation potion, intelligence-enhancing potion, living **** potion, powerful healing potion, etc., so it didn't really help much. On the contrary, I made medicine with Xiang Nan and learned a lot from him.
"Okay, we're all friends, so don't tell them so clearly." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
Lily nodded.
At this moment, I heard two voices saying, "You are here to buy books too, what a coincidence~" and "Yes, how come it is such a coincidence?"
Xiang Nan and Lily looked back and saw James Potter and Sirius Black.
"What a coincidence that you are here to buy books~" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
In fact, it's not a coincidence, because the students at Hogwarts all received owl letters today. After receiving the letter, it was normal to come to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley to buy books.
After all, this is the only place in the British wizarding world that sells new textbooks.
…
After buying the book, the four of them sat at Florin's Cold Drink Shop, eating ice cream and chatting.
"Lily and I just used Floo powder and accidentally called the wrong place name and ran to Knockturn Alley." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Wow, really? Is it thrilling or thrilling?" James Potter asked excitedly after hearing this, "It is said that there are dark wizards there, and my parents won't let me go at all."
"Why is that?" Sirius asked in confusion. As far as he knew, those dark wizards were very cruel. Whenever they saw a lonely wizard, especially an underage wizard, they would immediately take action, either by luring or forcing them, abducting them, and then killing them.
That’s why parents repeatedly remind their children not to go to Knockturn Alley. No matter how curious you are, it won’t do. These are lessons learned at a **** price.
"I heard from the owner of Bojin & Bok. It seems that a dark wizard came to Knockturn Alley a few days ago. He likes to pretend to be a child, pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. I don't know what method he used to absorb some of the dark wizard's magic power. , actually turned them into squibs, so maybe those dark wizards thought that Lily and I were pretending to be pigs and eating tigers."
"Is there such a thing?" James Potter asked in surprise.
He did know the difference between a wizard and a squib, but he didn't know that a wizard could actually degenerate into a squib, which was really strange.
"I thought it was strange at first and wanted to keep asking, but the boss refused to say anything anymore." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"This matter is indeed strange. I'll ask about it later." Sirius said with great interest.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, contact us through owl."
He deliberately brought up this topic because he wanted to know whether those dark wizards had really turned into squibs.
If it were true, that would be great. Those dark wizards usually do many evil things and are lawless, and now they finally get their comeuppance.
As for the wizarding world being well-informed, who is better than pure-blood families like James Potter and Sirius Black?
…
After eating ice cream, Xiang Nan and Lily said goodbye to James and Sirius, and then returned home through the fireplace in Diagon Alley and using Floo powder.
With the experience from the last time, Lily didn't make any mistakes this time.
"It's amazing. I love magic." Seeing herself returning home from Diagon Alley in the blink of an eye, traveling hundreds of miles in an instant, Lily felt very magical.
Xiang Nan also smiled and nodded, "Don't mention Knockturn Alley to anyone, so as not to worry your parents." He reminded in a low voice.
Lily nodded.
…
For the next month, Lily came to Xiang Nan's house almost every day, learning to make potions with him and learning magic knowledge with him.
"Standard Spells: Level 2" includes the Holding Spell, the Creaking Spell, the Dancing Spell, the Appearing Spell, the Expansion Spell, the Oolong Exit, etc.
These spells are nothing more than child's play to Xiang Nan. However, for Lily, it is still quite profound and requires learning to master.
Fortunately, there was a teacher called Xiang Nan, and she was also extremely talented, so Lily learned quickly. By the time school started, she had mastered all these spells.
"Lily, you are indeed a genius." Xiang Nan clapped his hands and smiled.
"How can I be called a genius in front of you?" Lily was very self-aware, waving her hands and smiling.
When Xiang Nan first entered school last year, she had already learned more than most seventh-grade students. After a year of study, his strength is probably approaching that of some professors at Hogwarts. At best, I am an excellent student, but my grade is far from good.
"I am also grateful to my mother for her teachings." Xiang Nan smiled.
In fact, Snape's strength was mediocre to begin with, although he was proficient in many spells and knew more than a seventh grader. But because of insufficient magic power, he is no match for James and Sirius.
But Xiang Nan absorbed the magic power of more than thirty wizards and made up for this shortcoming. That's why he can look down upon all the students at Hogwarts.
