Borgin-Bock's Magic Shop is the largest store in Knockturn Alley.

This shop often deals with those ancient wizarding artifacts. Due to its ultra-high profits, the greed of the shop owner, and the cunning of its customers, this shop has handled a lot of gray business.

The products you can see here are either dark magic products or are strictly prohibited from trading by the Ministry of Magic.

It is deeply "loved" by the great nobles.

Mr. Borgin can provide confidential valuation services for rare and ancient magical artifacts inherited from outstanding wizarding families.

A good price often makes their hearts flutter. If Mr. Bojin shows some faint envy, he will get a generous appraisal fee.

Borgin-Bock Magic Shop not only sells magic products, but also recycles magic products, including but not limited to dark magic items.

Moreover, here, no one cares about their origins.

Therefore, this is also a good place to sell stolen goods.

Some nobles also have some ancestral relics that are unsightly at home and cannot be thrown directly into the market. At this time, going to Borgin-Bock Magic Store to sell them becomes a good choice.

Although the price given by Mr. Bojin will not be too high, it is still a no-cost transaction, right?

And, just by pretending to be angry, maybe Mr. Borgin would offer a higher price.

This is a win-win result, both people make money.

It is said that some prohibited trade items can be obtained here. As long as you can afford the money, they can help you get them, whether they are dragon eggs or live unicorns.

This shows that he has a lot of connections.

However, Dumbledore's appearance today really scared him.

You know, among the Hogwarts staff, only Hagrid and Professor Slughorn would come to Knockturn Alley.

The former is here to find out what magical animals are for sale in Knockturn Alley recently.

Although he does not buy magical animals directly, the vendors in Knockturn Alley are looking forward to this big man.

Because he would offer some items unique to the Forbidden Forest in exchange, his coat made of moleskin was the envy of many people.

He has them all, such as the unicorn's horn, tail hair, other parts of the hair, the feathers of the evil bird, and the venom gland stones of the Acromantula.

More importantly, the big man didn't understand their specific prices, especially in the beginning, when they made a lot of money.

If you really get some rare magical animals, but previous customers can't afford the price or don't want to buy them, Hagrid will become their best choice.

Because behind Hagrid stood Keltebourne, the Care of Magical Creatures professor.

Like Hagrid, he also loves magical animals, so he hopes these little cuties can go to a more comfortable place and enjoy a better environment.

Professor Sgrughorn came to Knockturn Alley to find some potion ingredients for cheap potions, or to deliver some potion orders.

Dumbledore, as the greatest wizard of the 20th century, is not just a talk, but a real record and strength.

As the headmaster of Hogwarts, and having worked in this position for so many years, his tolerance for dark magic is relatively low.

At that time, many ferocious black magic items were being displayed calmly in front of the Borkin-Bock Magic Shop.

Moreover, Mr. Borgin also has a little hobby, which is to put those scary things outside to scare the customers who come in.

Like the Hand of Glory, it is a withered human hand. After inserting a candle, only the person holding it can see the candlelight. It is called "the best friend of thieves and robbers".

The candlelight it releases can even penetrate the darkness caused by the Peruvian invisible smoke bomb, which is something that most luminous magic cannot do.

It can also help the holder to light the way forward when it is full of thick fog or when he is in a magical fog.

The Hand of Glory is completely a dark magic item.

Seeing it, Dumbledore immediately remembered its method, which was very cruel and inhumane.

This hand comes from a prisoner who was executed, usually by hanging, and the crime committed was often murder or other serious crimes.

This is perhaps the only decent thing about it.

But Dumbledore knew that given the wide range of black magic, the production of such items did not require any criminality of the prisoner, and he did not even need to be a prisoner.

Moreover, the production of Hands of Glory requires the blood of prisoners, preferably filled with despair for life.

Although it can hold any candle in the palm of your hand, the most suitable one is the human oil candle made from the body fat of prisoners.

The direction illuminated by the light will be larger, and it can also conceal the traces of the holder, such as weakening the holder's footsteps, breathing, body odor, etc.

In addition to the glorious hand, there are various human bones, a stack of blood-stained playing cards, a glass eyeball, rusty tooth-like instruments, a noose, a cursed necklace, etc.

Under Dumbledore's perception, it was filled with a strong aura of black magic.

After delivering the gold galleons, Dumbledore took out a gorgeous feather fan from nowhere.

With a gentle wave, under Mr. Borgin's surprised gaze, the huge disappearing cabinet was received into the feather fan.

After leaving Borgin and Burke's Magic Shop, Dumbledore did not [Disapparate] and leave directly, but instead wandered around Knockturn Alley.

With a kind smile, the half-moon-shaped lenses reflected white light, covering the sharp and cold eyes below.

After walking around, his eyes were no longer sharp, but full of exhaustion, self-blame, guilt and some tenderness.

On the road, anyone who lowered their head or looked away when they saw him were his former students.

They also talked about the bright future with their friends in Hogwarts, imagining how great their future achievements would be.

But now, forced by life, they stayed away from the lively but lifeless Diagon Alley and came to Knockturn Alley, which is dangerous but contains opportunities for survival.

If you are not careful, you will leave scars for life.

They all lived into something they had never imagined before, the version of themselves that the professor said was the cheapest.

There were still some students who greeted Dumbledore or gave him some gadgets they made themselves.

This was one of Dumbledore's few gratifications.

But when he saw the guilt in their eyes, Dumbledore remained silent.

He was thinking, whose fault is it?

Are those kids good?

In his impression, there are still a few outstanding children, and their grades in school are also good.

Most of them are students with middle-to-lower academic performance.

"Where is their way out?"

Returning to the principal's office, he sat blankly on his chair, looking out the window in ecstasy, and murmured.

Not everyone is content with just food and clothing, but what about the young people?

Are they, full of passion, really willing to settle down in one place, use magic to build houses, cultivate farmland, and live a mediocre life?

Obviously it's impossible. They need entertainment more, look forward to beautiful appearance, and desire the progress of magic.

Ultimately, it's still the magic world's own problem.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore stopped thinking about it.

At this time, there is no holiday yet.

Walking to the window and looking at the energetic students on campus, Dumbledore fixed his gaze. He would hold up a peaceful sky for them.

Let the changes of the younger generation be accepted by the world faster.

"Albus, where's the other cupboard?"

Professor McGonagall came to the principal's office, interrupted Dumbledore's thinking, and asked.

"Here it is."

Dumbledore came back to his senses and waved the fan in his hand. As he waved it, a trace of electricity flashed on it.

Professor McGonagall nodded, and then pulled Dumbledore into the Room of Requirement.

Subsequently, Knockturn Alley received a severe attack, and many wizards suffered heavy losses.

Mr. Bojin knew that he was a key target, so he did not take back any of the things he left outside that day, but only replaced them with some defective products.

Like some people who only have one, he had no choice but to part with Bilong's opal necklace.

The cause of this incident was Dumbledore. He did not dare to take any blame at all and could only say that he was unlucky.

He was sure that after the Ministry of Magic inspected it, there would be a report for Dumbledore.

If there was something missing from that day, Dumbledore might come to him for tea, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

For this reason, the only solution is to bleed.

While inspecting the pair of Vanishing Cabinets, Professor Flitwick discovered that they were somewhat damaged.

There is a small problem with one cabinet. It can only accept transmissions from another cabinet, but cannot transmit to another cabinet.

After a while, Professor Flitwick repaired them and gained a lot.

I have a deeper understanding of spatial positioning and selection of magic patterns for spatial transfer.

One of the repaired Vanishing Cabinets is placed in the Room of Requirement, and the other is placed on the second floor of the Hogwarts Benefit Shop.

For this reason, the professors opened a special room for the disappearing cabinet.
