In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 64 63. Diagon Alley

The clean streets are bright and clean, but perhaps because it is already evening, there are not many tourists.

It has been a year since he entered Hogwarts, but this is the first time Jon has come to Diagon Alley. Unlike in the original book, this is not a place to welcome him at all, and he is not eligible to buy new textbooks here , school robes and wands, even entering the door secretly, using a completely non-existent identity.

So he didn't relax much while walking on the cobblestone road, but always followed Dumbledore half a shoulder behind, and came to a potion shop in a leisurely manner.

Dumbledore took Jon through the door and walked into the potion shop. The shop owner, who seemed to be checking the books, looked up at them and said in a not-so-enthusiastic tone.

"It's almost time for us to close, two guests, if you have any needs, you can tell me your needs directly, and I will recommend suitable medicines for you."

Dumbledore didn't make a sound immediately. He didn't set his eyes on the shop owner or any bottle of potion on the shelf. Instead, he stared at a person who was huddled in a corner and was wiping with a rag after entering the door. shelf boy.

The boy seemed to be about the same age as Jon, with short chestnut hair, wearing a linen robe, dirty and too big overall, it didn't seem to fit very well.

The shop owner obviously noticed Dumbledore's gaze, he frowned slightly, and shouted at the boy.

"Smith."

The boy named Smith stopped what he was doing, and he turned his head to look timidly at the three adults.

"Ai, Mr. Ackmore."

"You don't need to work here, go back to the cellar first, don't disturb the mood of the guests here."

Smith agreed weakly, then lowered his head like a mouse that wanted to hide his presence but was stared at by everyone, and quickly walked out of the potion shop.

"Maybe you are in the mood to talk about your needs now, gentlemen?" Aikemo looked at Dumbledore and the others.

He seemed to be driving the boy away in disgust, but Jon could feel that his behavior was more like a protection.

Dumbledore blinked, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"We don't want potions. Do you have Phoenix's tears in your store?"

Aikemo's face changed suddenly, he took a deep look at Dumbledore, and replied softly.

"This is a rare item, customer, and we don't usually put it on the shelf."

Dumbledore turned around and walked towards the inside of the shop with Jon, saying at the same time.

"Then let's take a look at things other than this shelf."

Aikemo did not stop them from entering the room without being invited, but walked carefully to the front of the store, and after checking that there were no suspicious people outside, he completely closed and locked the store door.

After doing all this, he also quickly walked into the inner room, where both Dumbledore and Jon had been lifted from the Transfiguration, revealing their original appearance.

"Mr. Dumbledore, I thought you wouldn't be here for a while."

The owner of the potion shop named Aike Mo was obviously someone who had been placed in Diagon Alley by the Order of the Phoenix. Even if the Ministry of Magic usually censored it strictly, they would not be able to monitor all aspects of the entire magic world.

As long as the Order of the Phoenix wants to hide their own people in a street with a lot of traffic like Diagon Alley, it is not a difficult task for them. After all, there is no shortage of pure-blood and mixed-blood members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore shook his head and said.

"Come here too late and you will miss a lot of preparation time. There is still more than a month before the start of school. It is best for Jon to get acquainted with the life of the boy he will play in the next year."

At this time, Aikemo's gaze also turned to Jon who was standing beside Dumbledore, with a sigh expression on his face, and he walked forward and stretched out a hand.

"Peter Akmo. I was surprised when I heard from Dumbledore that you were really just a child who had only been exposed to magic for a year, but I believe in his vision, you must have something unique, He will not let a child take his life for nothing."

Jon also extended his hand and shook Aikemo.

"My name is Jon Green, Mr. Aikemo, and I will be under your care here for the next month or so."

"Don't rush to talk about care." Aikemo said with a wry smile, "After the plan officially starts, in order to ensure your safety, I will clear all the memories about you and this plan in my mind. I will treat you as the real Smith, and I will treat you as I usually do to him, so there is nothing to take care of."

Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder: "Let me have a few words with Jon alone at the end. You go to work on that boy first, Pete."

Aikemo nodded, and then he left the room and walked towards the cellar where Smith was.

After only the two of them were left in the room, Dumbledore looked at Jon seriously.

"Now you still have a chance to go back on your word, Jon. If you think this matter is too dangerous, I can take you back to the carriage. I can do other things about the castle. Don't feel embarrassed or embarrassed. Open your mouth, after entering that castle, you will have to rely entirely on yourself, and I have no way to give you more help."

There was not much tension on Jon's face, he even smiled.

"No one is more suitable than me, professor. I was hesitant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, my teacher taught me magic, and the school taught me knowledge. You have been protecting our safety. There is no reason but you Give, I just sit back and enjoy. I believe that any student on the carriage will not back down if the school needs them. Besides, there is something in that castle that the teacher wanted me to get before, and this is just an opportunity .”

Dumbledore looked at Jon's serious face, and he smiled peacefully. At the same time, he raised his glasses and rubbed his astringent eyes.

"After all, I'm too old to listen to students say these things. Well, there are a few key things that I will tell you at the end."

He said solemnly.

"After the compound decoction is refined, it can only last for a month at most, so the potion I prepared for you is also a one-month dosage. After that, you have to find a way to refine it yourself. The specific refining process Lily told me that you have fully grasped it, and as for how to obtain potion materials after arriving at the castle, someone will take the initiative to contact you."

"About the magic of the 'enrollment contract' on Muggle students, I will put an almost identical one on you later, so that you can deceive the people in that castle from the detection, and you don't have to worry too much about the others. That contract is just a To impose the restraint of domestication education, it does not mean that after signing, you will really only obey. Aikemo will give you a note later, which records the character performance and living habits of the boy you want to play. I believe you will watch it carefully without me reminding you."

"The last and the last." Dumbledore handed a crimson feather to Jon, "Regardless of whether you got that thing in the end, as long as you feel that you are in danger of being exposed and discovered, you must pinch it." Tighten this feather, Fox will bring you back wherever you are."
