The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 565 The Buyer of the Necklace

Turning around, before the wizards in Knockturn Alley woke up from their doze, they saw a whole team of law enforcement officers rushing into the alley in full armor.

These employees from the Ministry of Magic stopped neatly at the entrance of Borgin-Bock. They did not enter the store, but blocked the road in front of the door, and at the same time drove away the people gathered in front of the store.

At this time, the door of the shop opened, and Mr. Bo Jin, who was combing his hair with oil, hurried out.As a shrewd businessman, Mr. Bokin guessed that he must have offended someone unintentionally, but he still couldn't figure out who he had offended for the time being.

Bo Jin smiled all over his face, and said kindly: "What's your business here? But what's wrong with this small shop?"

The Law Enforcement team parted to reveal Arthur Weasley.

Probably because he was born at the grassroots level, Mr. Weasley likes to do things himself. He has only held the position of the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department for just over two months, and he has appeared more often than many old directors who have worked for many years. And more.

"Ah, Mr. Weasley!" said Mr. Borgin respectfully, "you have come in person!"

Someone with fiery red hair and worn, patched robes must have come from the Weasleys.And Mr. Weasley is now the Director of the Law Enforcement Department, and Mr. Bokin naturally recognizes it.

Although Mr. Borgins disliked the Weasleys from the bottom of his heart, he would not speak ill of Mr. Secretary, especially in front of others.The team behind them was not the model team, but the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement team.

"Mr. Bokin, this is a very unpleasant meeting." Mr. Weasley said, without being bossy or belittling the other party because of his high position.

Hearing this, Mr. Bokin was very disturbed. He made a fuss and said: "Mr. Weasley, please don't say that, Bokin-Bock is a law-abiding shop, and our meeting will be very pleasant. .”

With that said, Borgin invited Mr. Weasley in for a detailed talk. He didn't want these people to rush into his shop. If any items were damaged, it would be Borgin-Bock's loss.

Mr. Weasley did not refuse Borgin, and it seemed that he brought people here to check on Borgin-Bock, but in fact he wanted to find out about the opal necklace.It would be best to be able to speak alone with Bo Jin.

Boggin led Mr. Weasley into the shop, and besides the two of them was Mr. Weasley's assistant.

The two sat down, and before Bo Jin warmly entertained him, Mr. Weasley got straight to the point.He said: "It's like this. We are chasing a dangerous item that violates regulations. According to the tip, this illegal item comes from Borgin-Bock."

There are many illegal products in the Bojin-Boke store, and Mr. Bojin can't remember anything about just one dangerous product that violates the regulations.

However, Mr. Bojin did not immediately refute. The fact that the store is located in Knockturn Alley already shows the nature of the store. If the Ministry of Magic really wanted to search it, it would definitely check it out.

Seeing Bojin's reaction, Mr. Weasley was not surprised. If the other party jumped up and said it was impossible, he would copy the other party back to the Ministry of Magic!Mr. Weasley gave his assistant a look, and the bright young man immediately understood.

The young assistant took out a package from his arms, placed it on the table in front of Mr. Weasley and Bokin, and carefully opened it—the package contained a luxurious opal necklace.

"This thing... Mr. Borgin must be familiar with it?" asked Mr. Weasley.

Familiar, too familiar, this necklace was sold by Bojin!
"Uh... This is indeed a product in the store, but I have made a statement about this item long ago, and this necklace is only sold to those who want to research and crack the curse." Bojin said, "You know , cracking the curse of items has always been a problem. Do you remember the book of sonnets?"

In the wizarding world, many magic items are cursed, either to protect the item itself, or out of pure malice.

Many people know about the curse of the sonnet. Anyone who touches this cursed thing can only speak in the style of sonnet for the rest of his life.

"I don't want to study the curse on the opal necklace, Boggin." Mr. Weasley put away his smile and said seriously, "Because of this necklace, a Hogwarts student was injured and hospitalized. Fortunately, she just touched it. For a moment, otherwise I won't be able to sit here and communicate with you now."

Mr. Bojin's expression was even more exaggerated, his mouth was wide open, and his eyeballs were about to fly out of their sockets.

"How could this happen!" Bojin said loudly, "The items in the store are only for research, how could someone use them to do bad things!"

Mr. Weasley motioned Boggin not to be nervous, and he said: "Sit, sit... I would like to believe you, and believe that the cursed Hogwarts students have nothing to do with you. But, I am willing to believe that it is useless, you You have to work hard too.”

Living in Qi, raising a body, and serving as the Director of the Law Enforcement Department made Mr. Weasley more powerful. It was just a comforting word, but it gave people a feeling of not being angry.

Bojin's brain at the table was working fast. He clearly remembered who he had sold the opal necklace to, and he was weighing whether he would betray the buyer.Between offending the Ministry of Magic and offending the buyer, Mr. Borgin had to make a choice as soon as possible, and the law enforcement team outside the store didn't give him much time to think.

If the former Ministry of Magic was inefficient and procrastinated, Bojin would definitely keep it a secret without hesitation.

But the Ministry of Magic is different now. With the backing of top experts, Thinknes has changed the previous impression of the Ministry of Magic, and the entire organization is operating efficiently.Although there will still be discordant voices internally, due to public opinion and the current situation, these people can only temporarily let Thickness toss.

As the old saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.The cunning Mr. Bojin didn't hesitate too much, he directly said the buyer's name.

"I sold an opal necklace to Draco Malfoy a while back," said Mr. Borgin.

Then, in order to reduce the impact of this incident on himself and the shop, he continued: "You know, Young Master Malfoy's father is under the 'Mysterious Man'. He wants to buy an opal necklace, and I dare not stop him at all."

Bojin said that he was innocent, that he was a victim of coercion, and that Draco Malfoy was the abandoned son.As for whether the Death Eaters will cause trouble for him in the future, Bo Jin can't care so much. Compared with the future, it's better to land smoothly today.

As long as the news is not very closed, almost everyone knows the relationship between Esmeralda Drizzt and Arthur Weasley.I offended Arthur Weasley thoroughly this morning, and maybe this female devil will come to my door this afternoon.

Borgin could tell the difference between Drizzt and the Death Eaters.

Mr. Weasley was a little surprised when he heard the name of Draco Malfoy. He guessed that this matter might be written by Death Eaters, but he didn't expect that it was done by the second generation of food.

Mr. Weasley was a little confused. He thought it might be a conspiracy against Slughorn the slug, or Dumbledore, but Draco's name made him doubt his own thoughts.

Will the other party entrust such an important task to a child?

When they lived in Grimmauld Place, the adult Fred and George were rejected when they wanted to join the Order of the Phoenix, even if they wanted to know more information.

Draco Malfoy is the same age as Harry, can he really carry such a heavy responsibility on his immature shoulders?
"What else did he buy?" Mr. Weasley asked, no matter what the purpose of the little Malfoy was, the investigation must continue.

"No, he only bought the opal necklace," said Borgin, repeating his old habit of keeping half and half.In this way, he still has room for change, but it hurts the inquirer.

"Really?" Mr. Weasley didn't believe Bokin, his eyes became sharp, and the young assistant beside him also made a gesture to go out, calling for the law enforcement team waiting at the door.

The situation is stronger than others, and in desperation, Bo Jin can only continue: "It's really gone. But...he is more interested in a few items in the store. Like that glorious hand, sticking a candle , only the person holding it can see the light, young master Malfoy..."

"Is there anything else?" Mr. Weasley interrupted Borgin. The so-called Hand of Glory is the best friend of thieves and robbers, and the danger of that item is very low.

As if he had made up his mind, Bo Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! The disappearing cabinet, he is very interested in the disappearing cabinet, but it has broken down long ago and cannot be used at all."

Mr. Weasley frowned, he was getting more and more confused.
