It symbolizes darkness, gloom and night, and is the dark side of Diagon Alley. Usually, it can only be entered through Diagon Alley or by using Floo powder. There are many dark wizards and shops selling banned dark magic items.
The most famous shop in Knockturn Alley is Borgin and Burke's! Borgin 's sells all kinds of magical items, including the Hand of Glory, Bloody Cards, Glass Eyeballs, Hideous Masks, Long Noose, Opal Necklaces, Shrunken Heads, Poison Candles and other items with unique magical powers.
After Tom Marvolo Riddle graduated, he didn't even go to the Ministry of Magic, but went straight to work in Borgin and Burke's shop.
——This Tom is the current Voldemort, the Dark Lord feared by the world.
Perhaps because their values were in sync, or perhaps because of his mysterious belief in certain prophetic passages in Fang Yan's works, Borgin and Burke became Fang Yan's loyal fan early on, and the two had been exchanging letters in recent years.
Although Borgin and Burke's appearance does not seem to be that of a powerful man, he is indeed a master of Occlumency.
Fang Yan knew very well that if he had never exchanged letters with Borgin and Burke, and if the latter had voluntarily left Knockturn Alley during the closing time and brought the Pensieve to the inn in Diagon Alley to teach him, he would never have been able to use the Sorting Hat to perform a reversal of the Sorting when he entered the school.
Taking the letter from Hermione, Fang Yan quickly read through it, his eyes flickering slightly: "Bogin is interested in the [Pokeball] business and wants to become the exclusive supplier of Knockturn Alley..."
"Any high-profit industry is essentially a sweet and delicious cake. The more friends who invest with capital and technology, the bigger the cake will be."
At this point, Fang Yan chuckled: "Bo Jin is an old friend of mine. The conditions he offered this time are also very generous and sincere - I can promise him that the Poké Balls made by Fang Yan's party will make him the first supplier!"
"If the cooperation is pleasant and trust is built up, it would be fine to open up some special alchemy techniques for him later."
After defeating Barty Crouch Jr. and resolving the crisis of the Dark Lord's remaining soul that occurred this year, Dumbledore honestly sent the Philosopher's Stone to him - his old friend Nicolas Flamel and his partner had long been tired of living, and they calmly handed over the right to dispose of this magical item to the White Lord.
Fang Yan, who had obtained the Philosopher's Stone, was in a good mood. He chewed on a steaming crispy Wellington steak and said casually, "In my conception, the business of Diagon Alley will be covered by George and Fred in the future. As for Knockturn Alley, we should find a way to get Borgin and Boggin onto our warship, which can save a lot of time and manpower."
"Hermione, allocate a special operating fund to George and Fred. The first injection of funds will be between 3,000 and 5,000 Galleons. The specific amount is up to you."
"Although our business is just starting, there is no need to be too stingy in this regard - as long as the money is spent in the right place, it will grow more and more."
Hermione nodded repeatedly and took note of the order.
Hearing the exaggerated range of numbers proposed by Fang Yan, the Weasley brothers' ears trembled slightly, their eyes widened, they dropped their knives and forks, jumped onto the bench, and cheered at the same time: "Yahoo! Long live the leader!"
"We can finally open our [Joke Shop]!"
The twin brothers were so excited that their hair seemed to become more rosy and shiny. They sang like a bard or a crosstalk duo, saying in unison: "The [Flying Sword for Entertainment] can now officially enter the research and development stage!"
"Fang Yan, the great king, the generous king, you are the only true king of Hogwarts!"
In Fang Yan's opinion, the joke shop these two brothers talked about was actually the [Weasley's Alchemy Workshop] with extremely high gold content! In the original plot, George and Weasley's prank products can often play many mysterious effects. Even the officials representing the Ministry of Magic have records of purchasing them in large quantities.
After eating and drinking his fill, Draco Malfoy, regardless of the distinction between the school camps, sat down next to Fang Yan, holding a silver cup full of milk: "I've been to the Borgin and Burke magic shop - I remember it very clearly, my father called him 'Mr. Borgin'."
Putting aside his former identity as a Death Eater, his father, Lucius Malfoy, was also an expert at manipulating and exploiting others. He was good at using his wealth and family background as weapons to threaten other wizards to obey his orders. He was a well-known upper-class aristocrat and powerful gentleman in the British wizarding world.
Draco thought about it and felt that Borgin's voice and hair were both greasy, especially the hair, which looked a bit like a Potions professor at Hogwarts.
But Snape hated the Potter family, who monopolized the shampoo business in the British wizarding world, and was unwilling to use Potter-brand shampoo, which made his hair greasy (Malfoy's personal opinion). Borgin's style...
Harry Potter noticed that the rich young man was staring at him with a strange look. He shuddered and glared back provocatively.
"The Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement is connected to Borgin and Burke's Magic Shop, and it's a fast track." Fang Yan enjoyed the sweet taste of the cream frappuccino and gave an order casually, "Draco, you will be responsible for connecting with Borgin."
The noble young man, who always had an arrogant demeanor, nodded slightly, bowed and performed a wizard salute: "As you wish, Malfoy will fulfill his mission."
Harry suddenly felt like he was being outdone, and was in a very bad mood, but he managed to remain calm - the leader had said that everyone had their own areas of expertise, and he was best at sports.
Perhaps in the future, when the recreational flying sword competition develops to a level comparable to Quidditch, I will be able to bring glory to the Fang Yan Party?
At this time, Neville raised his hand, his round face full of seriousness and earnestness, and volunteered: "I'll go with him! I can help to fill in the gaps!"
He believed that if it were not for Fang Yan, he would never be able to avenge his parents who were tortured to the point of insanity and could only lie in bed in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Now he had a strong subjective initiative.
Fang Yan was happy to see this happen: "Taking the initiative to do things is the best way to hone your skills. I am very happy that Nawei is so proactive and eager to improve."
The prototype of the industrial chain of flying swords and Poké Balls, the white paper and blueprint have been completed, and the next step is just to put it into practice. With the passage of time, it will be supported by marketing and its influence will ferment.
I have already passed the difficult [start-up period] at Hogwarts.
Many dangerous incidents have come to a temporary end.
His own plans to promote the magic empire and human civilization could not be achieved in a hurry.
"The world of Naruto is about to get lively~"
The ninja Fang Yan, who had been preparing for a long time, showed his determination to make a big move at the last gathering, so that Konoha and even the entire ninja world would gradually change into his own shape! If I am not mistaken, after this power sharing, the ninja Fang Yan will transcend behind the scenes and make his debut on the stage.
Fang Yan was pondering the future of the magic world when he suddenly felt an endless darkness filling the heaven and earth, and the world froze.
The next moment, accompanied by a dizzying feeling, he came to a towering tree.
The breeze is gentle and the spring weather is bright.
The newlywed carried two long swords on his back, and his figure was tall and upright, like a pine tree standing in the cold night wind.
A set of tight dark purple leather armor clung to the newcomer's body as if it were his second skin, highlighting his muscles that looked like they were cast in steel.
His deep, evil vertical pupils seemed to be able to speak, as if they were made of melted stars and gold fragments. A strand of hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of unruly temperament to him, and there was a fascinating charm lingering around him.
Devouring Fang Yan, who was originally sitting cross-legged under the ancient tree, suddenly stood up, carrying a super alloy Tang sword on his shoulder, and a happy arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "Carrying a silver sword and a steel sword, with evil eyes that are different from ordinary people... Are you a [Demon Hunter]?"
