MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 142 A chance encounter with Malfoy
Hearing Auston finish speaking, Borgin frowned.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Brown, we have never heard of a poisonous spider from Greece here." Borgin, who couldn't make the deal, also felt a little regretful.
Auston smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Borgin, I don't really need that thing that much. Can I have a look at your store now, maybe there is something I like here."
Borgin grinned, and he nodded hurriedly, "Mr. Brown, please, just look at it."
After hearing his words, Auston took two steps and pretended to be visiting.
Seeing Auston shopping everywhere, Lucius Malfoy didn't take this child seriously at all, he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Borgin, can we look at my list now? Woolen cloth?"
Borgin walked back to him and nodded and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy, let's take a look."
With that said, the two continued to bargain over the list in Lucius Malfoy's hand.
Aston slowly paced, he approached Lucius.
About half a meter away from him, Auston pretended to be interested in a small crystal ball filled with black smoke.
While pretending to stare at the crystal ball carefully, he quietly reached into Lucius Malfoy's pocket.
"Mr. Borgin, don't think that I haven't researched the market price before I came here. Your price is too low." Malfoy and Borgin were arguing about the price of a relatively expensive commodity, and they didn't notice Xiang Xiang. His outstretched hand of sin.
"Mr. Malfoy, you also know that the Ministry of Magic has stepped up its search efforts. Even if I collect these things, I can't let them go. When the limelight passes, who knows how much the value of this thing will fall." Borgin also revealed Big Yellow Fang and Malfoy were arguing fiercely.
Auston's hand approached slowly, and his **** was about to touch Lucius Malfoy's pocket.
Suddenly, there was a click from the window, followed by the pained cry of a boy with a male duck voice.
This sound interrupted the argument between Malfoy and Borgin. Auston also quickly retracted his hand to avoid being discovered.
They turned their heads one after another, only to see Draco Malfoy standing beside the display stand under the window, his hand tightly bound by a white bone hand on the display stand.
Malfoy forcefully opened the knuckles of the bone hand to free his hand.
Lucius Malfoy looked very angry. He pursed his lips and shouted majestically at Draco Malfoy: "Draco, come here! I told you not to touch the things here!"
Draco Malfoy walked towards them, rubbing his wrists embarrassingly.
"Auston Brown!" As he got closer, Malfoy saw Auston and exclaimed.
"Hello, Malfoy." Auston greeted Malfoy calmly.
"Auston Brown?" Borgin also became suspicious. He frowned and stared straight at Auston with eagle-like eyes: "Aren't you Mr. Black?"
Auston raised the corner of his mouth and patted his dragonskin bag lightly, the coins inside squeaked.
"I think you shouldn't care about my surname just like Garen here," he said with a smile.
Hearing the sound of gold coins, Bo Jin immediately put on a smile and kept nodding: "Of course, of course, Mr. Brown, please do it."
This time, with the support of his father by his side, Malfoy was not afraid of Auston.
"Dad, this is the Squib I told you about. I just said that Dumbledore is so confused, how could Hogwarts even admit a Squib." Malfoy looked at Auston contemptuously at Lucius. Malfoy said.
Hearing that Auston was a Hogwarts Squib, Lucius immediately changed his face, as if he had seen a ghost, he took Draco Malfoy's hand and was about to leave.
Draco didn't react for a while, and he staggered and nearly fell.
"Hey? Mr. Malfoy, aren't you selling?" Borgin asked in a loud voice, seeing that the two of them were walking in a hurry.
"Sorry, Mr. Borgin, I remembered that we still have something to do. I'll come and see you next time." Lucius Malfoy said back, then cast another glance at Auston, and took Draco's hand and hurried away.
Seeing them leave, Auston was also a little anxious. He didn't get the diary, how could he let them go so easily.
Afterwards, Auston also apologized to Borgin, and ran out after the Malfoys.
After going out of the store door, the wizards coming and going in Knockturn Alley could not find Malfoy and his son to go there for a while.
'They'll probably go to Diagon Alley next. ’ Auston thought, because today their father and son came here to buy Malfoy something to start school, and Lucius Malfoy was waiting for an opportunity to hide the diary on the Weasley family.
Auston chose the closest road to Diagon Alley and walked straight.
When Auston was far away, two figures flashed from the edge of the Borgin Bock store.
"Why do we hide, Dad!" Some naive Draco Malfoy asked his father~www.novelbuddy.com~ Lucius Malfoy kept his eyes on Auston's distant back, and his voice A little stern: "Don't worry about it so much, remember to stay away from him when you are at school."
At this time, Auston was still searching around, and he didn't find the father and son until he was about to reach Diagon Alley.
In desperation, he had no choice but to go back to Knockturn Alley again, and get the diary from Malfoy today anyway.
He thought while walking, but he didn't pay attention, and suddenly bumped into a boy who was walking backwards.
The boy also jumped, turned around quickly, and saw that it was Auston, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Auston was also taken aback, the boy who kept going backwards was Harry Potter.
And in front of him was the old witch who kept selling dead man's nails in Knockturn Alley, and she kept closing in on Harry. attempt to murder him.
Looking at Harry's face covered in ashes and broken glasses, Auston suddenly realized that Harry Potter must have been hiding in the vanishing cabinet in Borgin Bock just now. He didn't dare to come out until Auston and the Malfoys were gone.
The old witch with the black nail plate was still approaching them step by step. Auston turned to block Harry behind him.
With the power of a giant dragon in his hand, he knocked over the old witch's plate with a slap, and his black nails were scattered all over the floor.
"Go away!" Auston roared.
In this Knockturn Alley where power is king, if you show your cowardice a little, you will be immediately targeted by evil wizards.
Seeing Auston's aura like a rainbow, the old witch didn't dare to step forward. She bent down to put away her nail plate and retreated into the dark.
Auston turned around and patted Harry Potter on the shoulder to express his doubts: "Why did you come here."
