"Alexander?! Why are you here!"

Malfoy's face turned pale instantly, and his voice was full of shock.

He subconsciously took a few steps back, his steps so fast that he almost hit the door frame behind him. He obviously wanted to go back directly to the store.

Seeing Malfoy's appearance, Devereux was stunned for a moment, and then gave a teasing smile.

He put his hands in his pockets and raised an eyebrow lazily at Malfoy.

"Hey, I was also telling you why I couldn't see you at school a while ago. I thought you had transferred to Durmstrang."

There was a hint of teasing in Devereux's tone.

"So you hid in Knockturn Alley? Speaking of which, Goyle and Crabbe didn't get to copy your homework, but they were almost bald with worry."

As he spoke, he slowly took a few steps closer to Malfoy, looking back and forth between him and the Borgin Bock store behind him.

"So-"

Devereaux narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth in a meaningful arc.

"You came here to work and study? This really impresses me. Our young master Malfoy actually knows how to get rich through hard work?"

He deliberately drawled his voice.

"I just work in a black magic shop."

Malfoy's face flashed with a hint of annoyance, but mostly panic.

He stared at Devereaux, as if he wanted to retort, but no words came out.

"you--!"

Malfoy finally choked out a sentence, but his voice was trembling.

He suddenly let out a short strange cry, turned around and quickly went back into the store, the bell on the door jingling because of his movement.

Devereux had a smile on his lips and stared thoughtfully in the direction where Malfoy disappeared just now.

Lupine walked up quickly behind him, his face full of doubts.

"I didn't expect there was a kid your age in Knockturn Alley. Do you know him?"

Lupine asked, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Devereaux turned his head slightly and licked his upper lip lightly with the tip of his tongue, a playful light flashing in his eyes.

"Of course I know him."

He said, his tone pretending to be relaxed.

"That's my classmate and good friend. We have a very good relationship."

Lupine raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing this.

Devereaux, however, continued to speak on his own.

"He was also a student of Hogwarts originally, but it's normal that you haven't seen him. He stopped coming to school about a month ago, just before you arrived."

He shrugged, a hint of teasing in his tone.

"I didn't expect to meet you here today. Let's go in and have a look."

Lupine stood aside, frowning and watching this scene, feeling uneasy in his heart.

He hesitated, then whispered to Devereux.

"Don't act rashly, Devereaux. This is Boginbok, not just any ordinary shop."

Devereux glanced at him and strode to Bojinbok's door without any further explanation.

Lupine hurriedly followed, but as he approached the store door, he felt a strong wave of magic power.

His steps suddenly stopped, and he raised his head to take a closer look at the old wooden door.

"Devereaux, wait a minute."

Lupine reminded in a low voice.

"There is protective magic on the door. It seems to be a very clever spell. It may have been cast by Bo Jin himself..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Devereux pulling out the wand from his waist and waving it lightly.

"Click——"

The door lock that exuded a dangerous aura instantly lost all its magic power and bounced open quietly.

The protective magic was like being blown away by a breeze, without any resistance.

The corners of Devereux's mouth raised slightly, and then he opened the door and walked in. His movements were smooth and smooth, as if what he had just cracked was just an ordinary door lock.

Lupine stood behind Devereaux, watching all this with his mouth agape.

He just stretched out his hand to stop Devereaux, but instead he scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

Before Devereaux had fully entered the store, he saw the interior layout of Bojin Bock through the half-open door.

It was completely different from the dark and gloomy appearance in the rumors. The sight in front of me was simply shocking.

The furnishings in the store are neat and orderly, and the wooden shelves are spotlessly clean, exuding a light pine aroma.

Displayed on the shelves are seemingly ordinary magical items.

Quills, spelling candles, basic potion ingredients, and even a few rows of textbooks - all the official versions of the Hogwarts curriculum.

There are several paintings depicting the history of magic hanging on the walls. The characters in the paintings move slowly with kind and friendly expressions.

In the display cabinet behind the counter, a neat row of wand boxes were arranged like Ollivander's store, making people think they were in the wrong place.

"Oh, this is really a show, I thought I was in Ollivander's store."

However, just as he was about to step forward, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the door, and a hand with sharp bones pressed hard on the door frame, blocking his way.

"Little guy, this is not the place you should be."

The man's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of impatient warning.

Devereux raised his head and saw a stooped wizard standing in front of him.

The man's hair was greasy and shiny, and was combed back meticulously, as if every strand of hair had been carefully taken care of.

His cold blue eyes stared at Devereux, with a hint of scrutiny and alertness in them.

"Leave quickly!"

The wizard's tone became more determined, but his hand was still pressed firmly on the door frame.

Devereaux immediately clicked on this person's panel.
