Chapter 41: Welcome to Knockturn Alley!
"Professor, may I ask you a small favor?" After leaving the wand shop, Dumbledore intended to take the two children straight back to Hogwarts. Cassandra's school supplies were already purchased in the United States and stored in her handbag, which had been enchanted with an Untraceable Extension Charm.
It was Kyle who spoke up suddenly. "Of course, tell me, boy, what can I do for you?" Dumbledore inquired. "Well, Professor, I have some lovely magical animals, just like these Eevees. Since I'm going to school, I left them at home. If possible, could I take them with me to school? Don't worry, I'll take care of them."
"Well, although this violates school rules, as long as they're not seen by other students, it should be fine. It just so happens I can also be a guest at your house!" Dumbledore, with his fondness for Kyle, aimed to satisfy and nurture him. As long as a request wasn't excessive, he was willing to agree. Kyle's talent was remarkable, even surpassing what Dumbledore had at the same age! In a way, Dumbledore even contemplated grooming Kyle as his successor.
And it's just a few cute pets, just like these Eevees... In Dumbledore's eyes, these two Eevees were far better than any other pets. "Professor, I knew you would agree! To be honest, you're the best teacher I've ever had. If I had known you were so open-minded, I would have brought them along when school started," Kyle complimented Dumbledore warmly.
"But we have to make an agreement in advance that your pets must not disrupt the order of the school," Dumbledore advised, although a smile graced his face. He appreciated that Kyle could recognize his positive qualities so readily. "Do not worry!" Kyle nodded emphatically as they made their way toward Knockturn Alley.
"Are these magical animals called Eevees? They look rather average to me," Cassandra commented as she walked beside Kyle, curiously observing the two Eevees. She had noticed the two cubs a while ago, yet found them somewhat haughty. Kyle chuckled inwardly, wondering who was more arrogant, Cassandra or Snape. Probably still Snape, given his many years of staunch pride.
"Would you like to pet these two Eevees? They are quite well-behaved and won't harm anyone," Kyle offered. "I have two cats and raccoons at home, and they too are very cute. If you insist on letting me pet them..." Cassandra began, but then stopped. "Forget it, I never force others to do anything." Kyle laughed before Cassandra could finish, almost making Cassandra fume with frustration.
[Ding! Anger detected!] [Ding! The treasure chest is being extracted for the host!]
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a golden treasure chest!"
Good guy, as expected of Sister Ka. Is it okay to come up with a golden treasure chest? This kind of fresh leek is rare.
"But if you really want to touch it, ten Galleons can touch it once, and the time should not exceed one minute."
Cassandra: "???"
"Ding! Anger detected!"
"Ding! The treasure chest is being extracted for the host!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a silver treasure chest!"
Looking at Cassandra who turned her head angrily, Kyle smiled and patted the two Eevee on the shoulder. Sun Ibrahimovic jumped directly into Cassandra's arms. Moon Eevee also landed on her shoulders.
"Hmph, who cares about your cat!"
"Ding! Joy detected!"
"Ding! The treasure chest is being extracted for the host!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a diamond treasure chest!"
"Professor, welcome to Knockturn Alley!" "Go a little further and you'll be at my house."
There is only a wall between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. There is a small road connecting the two alleys. Crossing this path leads to Knockturn Alley. Unlike the bustling Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley is narrow, dank, and dark. The sun rarely shines down. The atmosphere is depressing and eerie. Most of the wizards who came and went wore black robes with their heads and tails uncovered, hiding their faces under the hoods. Even some magic was cast on many faces.
"You live in such an environment?"
"I heard from my father that Knockturn Alley is one of the largest gathering places for dark wizards in Europe."
Cassandra obviously didn't expect this to be the place where Kyle lived. It is just a wall away from Diagon Alley, but there is a world of difference. She had heard the rumors about Knockturn Alley... The largest gathering place of dark wizards. Criminal killing is the main theme here. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic dare not set foot here easily. And now, Kyle, who looks about her age, lives in Knockturn Alley year-round. The shock this brought to her can be imagined. For a split second, Cassandra had a fit of sympathy.
