Chapter 4 HP004 Knockturn Alley and Gifts

Time flies by, and it has already entered August in a blink of an eye.

After being busy with the birthday party, Ivan finally had time to go to Diagon Alley to purchase learning items.During the birthday party some time ago, Ivan was frightened!

Because at the birthday party, his father, the Earl of the Golden Griffin, almost arranged a marriage for him.Fortunately, his mother Joanna stopped him, expressing the hope that Aiwen's marriage should be decided by Aiwen himself.

Otherwise, Aiwen, who is only 11 years old, will have a fiancée!

If there is really a fiancée, it should be a little loli, right?It's exciting to think about it!

"Father, mother, school is about to start, I want to go to Diagon Alley." Ai Wen took the initiative to tell his parents.

Joanna immediately responded, "Okay, my little Ivan, I will go with you."

Earl Barlow also agreed, "Well, the weather is good today, we will accompany you."

Ivan shook his head slightly, "I want to go alone, I'm not young anymore, am I? After a while, I will go to Hogwarts alone, please let me get used to it first."

"This..." Joanna couldn't make up her mind, and looked sideways at Earl Barlow.

Earl Barlow hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Yes! However, Paul and Aubrey need to accompany you. Also, you are going to Knockturn Alley by the way, your uncle has a gift for you."

"Okay!" Ivan didn't refuse either. Both Paul and Aubrey are house elves of the Golden Griffin family. They are quite outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness, almost equivalent to high-level Aurors.

The owner of the largest black magic shop in Knockdown Alley, Bojin Bok, is the younger brother of Earl Barlow and the uncle of Ivan.

Without the support of the Golden Gryphon family, how could Bojinbok Magic Shop stand firm in Knockturn Alley?
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Ivan was wearing a small black suit, took Paul and Aubrey, and appeared in Diagon Alley directly through Apparition.Although the Ministry of Magic has regulations that only wizards over the age of 17 are allowed to learn and use apparition, Paul and Aubrey are house elves and are not restricted by the Ministry of Magic.

In Diagon Alley, there were many wizards coming and going, and Ivan didn't pay much attention to it, so he walked to the Patchett Crucible Store.

As a first-year freshman, he needs a tin standard size two cauldron.In fact, as the heir of the Golden Griffin family, Ai Wen could have sat at home and ordered the house elves or servants to complete the purchase of school supplies.

However, how happy is Evan?
After all, in Diagon Alley, you might meet Hermione by chance!
After picking out a standard crucible from Patchett's crucible shop, Aiwen diffused his magic sense, but didn't find Hermione, and a dull look appeared on his face.

"Paul, Aubrey, let's go to Knockturn Alley." Although Ivan had watched the "Harry Potter" movie, he didn't know which day Hermione would enter Diagon Alley.

There is only one lane between Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley. Although Knockturn Alley has a bad reputation, in fact, the business of Knockturn Alley is very good, almost indistinguishable from Diagon Alley.

Borgin Bock Magic Shop is very eye-catching. As soon as Ivan walked into the store with Paul and Aubrey, a joyful voice came, "Oh, little Ivan, welcome! Welcome!"

"Uncle Karaktakus, good morning!" Ivan responded with a smile. Borgin Bock's real name is Karaktakus Fox Bock, and Borgin Bock is just his pseudonym.

"Please call me Borgin Bock!" Borgin Bock said seriously.

Aiwen spread his hands out in a young and mature manner, "Okay, okay, Uncle Bojin."

Bojin Burk suddenly turned into a smiling face, "Little Ivan, after a while, you will be going to Hogwarts, right?"

"Yes." Ivan nodded, "Does Uncle Bojin have any suggestions?"

"Of course!" Borgin Burk said solemnly, "Please join Slytherin House! This is the glory of our Burke family!"

A member of the Burke family, it has been the heritage of Slytherin House since ancient times.If there is no accident, even after the selection of the sorting hat, Aiwen will still be assigned to Slytherin.

"By the way, little Ivan, I have prepared a gift for you!" Bojin Bock said mysteriously.

Looking at Borgin Bock's appearance, Aiwen finally became curious, "What gift?"

"Hey, don't you want to take a guess?" Bojin Bok said slyly.

Ivan thought about it, Bojin Bok's gift, the first option excluded was the magic wand.The magic wand in the wizarding world is very strange. It seems to have the spirit of the Xianxia plane, and it knows how to choose its master independently.

Although a wizard can use any wand, but without the approval of the wand, it is difficult to guarantee the power of magic, the fluency of casting spells, and the error tolerance rate of casting spells.

It is for this reason that Ollivander's wand shop is almost in a monopoly position in the British wizarding world.Although Aiwen already knew that there were other wand makers in the British wizarding world, but the quality was far inferior to Ollivander's wand shop.

After the wand is excluded, all things like crucibles, books, brass scales, plain work gowns, etc. must be excluded. The value of these things is too low, and Borgin Bock will not deliberately sell it.

"Could it be?" Ivan suddenly thought of an answer, "Uncle Bojin, have you obtained any rare magical animals?"

Aiwen has shown a special preference for magical animals since he was a child. Whether it is a night horse, a hippogriff, a horned camel, or even the legendary venomous leopard, Aiwen hopes to study object.

When Bojin Burke heard Fantastic Beasts, he quickly shook his head, "Little Ivan, don't even think about it, Fantastic Beasts are dangerous."

"What kind of gift is that?" Aiwen didn't want to guess anymore, because there were too many possible answers, and it was impossible for him to guess.

This time, Bojin Burke didn't make a fool of himself, lest Ivan say anything about magical animals, which is definitely not a good thing.

"Here!" Borgin Bock took out a quaint wooden box from under the counter and put it on the counter, beckoning Ivan to check it out for himself.

Aiwen is not polite either, Borgin Bock is his uncle, do you still need to be polite?

He opened the quaint wooden box casually, and in the wooden box, Aiwen saw a small glass bottle with a pointed bottom, which contained a transparent liquid. He was taken aback for a moment, and then recognized its identity!
Aiwen frowned slightly. Although he knew that the profit of Bojin Bork Magic Shop was not low, the value of this gift was very high. In the eyes of ordinary wizards, it was even a sky-high price item.

"Uncle Bojin, I can't take it, it's too expensive!" Ai Wen closed the quaint wooden box again, and said in refusal.
