Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

Chapter 55



The next morning, William set out on the road back to the manor.

When he returned to the manor, it was already noon, just in time for lunch.

In the restaurant, the grandmother took William to ask about his well-being and learn about his life at school.

William was always smiling and answered every question of his grandmother seriously without any impatience.

The two of them chatted until dinner time, and then the grandmother Deborah let William rest early after dinner.

William was not in a hurry to find the Vanishing Cabinet in Knockturn Alley. He planned to spend Christmas with his grandmother first.

In order to welcome Christmas, the manor castle was also well decorated.

There were several Christmas trees in the hall, and colorful lights were hung on the Christmas trees, which looked beautiful.

In addition, the walls were also covered with colorful ribbons, balloons of various colors, and other decorations.

On Christmas Eve, William asked the owl-Elise to deliver the Christmas gift he carefully selected for Hermione.

The Christmas gift he gave Hermione was his latest new work, an alchemical badge that can automatically defend.

As for other people's Christmas gifts, William was more casual, all of them were magic candies and the like.

Of course, William must have carefully prepared the gift for his grandmother Deborah.

On Christmas Day, William also received a lot of gifts.

Grandmother Deborah gave him a scarf, hoping that he could take care of his health.

Hermione gave him a pair of small porcelain dolls, but the images of the dolls were cartoon images of William and Hermione.

Some other gifts were given by business partners, there was nothing to say.

As for Harry and Ron, they didn't give any gifts at all. They were probably having fun at school, how could they remember William.

William liked Hermione's gifts very much, and he placed them on his desk.

The day after Christmas, William went to the Leaky Cauldron in London.

William came to Diagon Alley with ease, and it was still so prosperous and lively.

However, this time his target was not Diagon Alley, but Knockturn Alley adjacent to Diagon Alley.

Compared with Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley is a dirty alley filled with various black magic shops.

If Diagon Alley is a regular market, then Knockturn Alley is a black market full of all kinds of people.

In order to avoid trouble, William dressed himself in a large black robe, and the whole person was shrouded in shadow. He was mysterious and did not look like a good person.

William had already asked Hagrid about the location of Knockturn Alley.

After all, Hagrid grew up drinking truth serum, and he was very easy to get tricked.

William took the wand in his hand in advance. Knockturn Alley was not safe, and he had to be ready to take action at any time.

Then he went into a small alley according to Hagrid's information, and then he went through the winding alleys and finally came to Knockturn Alley. What caught William's eyes was a dirty alley, and both sides of the alley seemed to be full of black magic shops.

The largest shop in this alley was Borgin and Burke. Opposite it was another shop of considerable size. In the window of this shop, some shrunken heads were displayed in a gloomy way.

Across the two storefronts of Borgin and Burke's, a large cage was filled with huge black spiders.

In front of a shop selling poison candles hung an old wooden street sign with Knockturn Alley written on it.

Seeing this street sign, William knew that he had not gone to the wrong place.

However, as soon as he entered Knockturn Alley, William felt that someone was staring at him.

He looked in a dark doorway and saw two ragged wizards looking at him and whispering.

William didn't need to guess, and knew that they were not holding back anything good.

But as long as they didn't come to provoke William, William was too lazy to bother with them.

Borgin and Burke's shop was the largest in Knockturn Alley, and it was very obvious and could be seen at a glance.

This also saved William the time of searching. He walked towards Borgin and Burke's shop without any hesitation.

This black robe was still somewhat useful. At least until William walked to the door of Borgin and Burke's shop, no wizard ran out to trouble him.

William pushed the door open and walked into the store, all he saw were some dangerous black magic items.

There were withered human hands, bloodstained playing cards, and motionless glass eyeballs.

Hideous masks glared down from the wall, various human bones were placed on the counter, and rusty, sharp-toothed instruments hung from the ceiling.

And William's target of this trip - the vanishing cabinet, stood openly against the left wall of the store. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

A hunched man stood behind the counter, stroking his greasy hair with his hand.

""Welcome, sir. What would you like? My goods are absolutely fair in price."

Mr. Borgin said in a tone as greasy as his hair.

Of course, this was just a superficial courtesy. There was no politeness in Mr. Borgin's eyes, and there was even some ill intention.

After all, how could a man who could open a shop in a place like Knockturn Alley, and the shop was the largest, be a kind businessman?

William estimated that it was common for Mr. Borgin to rob his fellow thieves, and he was even more merciless in defrauding his customers.

William stepped into the dim shop and went straight to the big black cabinet, which was the disappearing cabinet.

He did not hide anything and said directly:"Mr. Borgin, name a price, I want this cabinet."

Hearing William's straightforward words, Mr. Borgin's face was instantly filled with smiles.

"Oh my, this customer has good taste. This cabinet is not an ordinary cabinet. It is a very rare disappearing cabinet."

"Stop talking so much and just tell me the price." William pretended to be impatient and said in a cold tone.

Mr. Bogin was not angry when he heard this. He was a guy who only cared about money and not people. As long as he could make money, the attitude of the customer was not important at all.

"I think the customer really wants it, so I'll give him a reasonable price, how about two gold galleons?"

William almost laughed when he heard the old man's high price.

"Two thousand gold galleons? Mr. Borgin thinks I'm being taken advantage of? Or are you out of your mind?"

Although William didn't need this little money, he couldn't agree to it outright, otherwise he didn't know what this guy would do.

Hearing William's words, Borgin was not too angry, after all, his price was too high.

"So, guest, how much do you think is suitable?"

"Two hundred gold galleons." William immediately reduced the price by ten times.

"The guest is really good at joking. How about this, 1,800 Galleons?"

"Three hundred Galleons!"

"One thousand seven hundred Galleons, no less."

"……"

After some bargaining between William and Borgin, William finally spent one thousand Galleons to buy the Vanishing Cabinet.

""Customer, do you need me to deliver the goods to your door?" Mr. Borgin asked enthusiastically.

But in fact, the greed in his eyes was almost overflowing. In his eyes, William was simply a big fat sheep.

"No need." William said as he flicked his sleeves, and the huge vanishing cabinet was put into his sleeves.

Seeing William's move, Borgin's mind became clearer. After all, the wizarding world still depends on strength.

After William took the vanishing cabinet, he turned around and walked out of the store.

"Take care, guest. Welcome to visit us next time!"
