Chapter 91: I Need a Guide
He received many curious looks as he ventured into the dimly lit corridors of Knockturn Alley.
Jas had not changed his physical looks, just his robes to avoid displaying any Hogwarts insignias.
Hiding his identity would defeat the purpose of coming here personally in the first place.
For the past months, Jas had been dealing with several rchants and earning a reputation by showing the quality of his creations. If he now ca here as so unknown individual, he would need to start all over again.
"Oi, boy. Are you lost?"
"Shouldn't you be in school?" two middle-aged ladies asked him as he passed by so shady beauty salon.
Jas stopped walking. He just realized sothing...despite knowing the na and address of the shops he was going to visit…it had been an extrely long ti since he had walked through these narrow alleys.
Knockturn Alley is even larger than Diagon Alley and contains a massive amount of closely knit narrow alleys that form a complex labyrinth. It is nearly impossible to navigate for those who are not used to it.
The two witches stared at him with curiosity. "Oh?...do you perhaps want to keep these young ladies company?"
"Haha, I bet this green boy wouldn't even know where to begin," the other one added.
Jas pulled a couple of gold galleons from his pocket. "I need directions to a couple of shops in this alley."
One of the won looked around to make sure no one was watching. "Boy, you better not flash gold around here. Do you really not know where you are?"
The other one pointed in the direction he had walked in. "Yeah, you better go back to Diagon Alley before sothing happens to you. We don't want to have the Aurors coming here to ddle in our business because so little boy got killed near our shop."
"Never mind then…I'll find them myself." Jas ignored the warning from the two witches and went further ahead.
It may take him a while, but he was sure to find what he was looking for eventually.
However, much like the witches feared, his display of wealth had caught the attention of a couple of ruffians, who saw Jas as easy prey.
They were sowhat subtle at first because they didn't want to bring anyone else's attention to themselves, but once they saw Jas entering a road they knew was a dead end, they decided to act.
"Tsk…maybe I should have been more insistent with the witches," Jas said as he stared at a grey stone wall that was blocking his path.
The steps of the two n who had been following him for the past minutes were now much louder.
'So they decided to show themselves…' Jas turned around and saw them.
They had their faces covered with dark cloaks, but it was obvious by looking at the rest of them that these two were young n, perhaps in their late twenties.
They pointed their wands at him in a threatening manner.
"Drop all the coins you have, and anything else of value," the first one ordered him.
"Do it quickly and we may not have to hurt you, boy," the second one added.
Jas wanted to roll his eyes. "I'm getting tired of being called 'boy' all the ti…" He looked at the two thieves and approached them. "Perhaps you two can give directions. You are from around here, right?."
"Stay right there!" One made a stabbing motion with his wand. "Did you not hear what we told you?"
"Let's just curse him and be done with it," the other one added.
Jas raised his hands. "What are you getting nervous for? I'm not even holding a wand…see?"
"That's it, take this!. " Thief number two seed to have run out of patience and shot a bone-breaker hex at him.
From this distance, a spell like that was easy to deflect for Jas. He just created a magical shield with a concave shape on the path of the hex.
The spell bounced back to the caster and hit his wand hand.
"Ahhh!" the thief scread and dropped his weapon in the process.
Jas saw the other one moving. "Depulso." He gave his hand a wave and sent the other young man crashing against the wall behind him.
"Youngsters have no manners these days…wait, no, that doesn't make any sense. This is the past." Jas muttered to himself.
"Urgg…" The broken-hand thief tried to make use of his other hand to grab his wand. "T-Take…this!..."
"Puff." The spell that he tried to cast disappeared in a cloud of grey smoke.
Jas scoffed. "Can't even use the other hand for a simple cutting charm? Should have paid more attention in school." He pointed his finger at him.
A flash of light shot at the young man's face.
This one started screaming imdiately, just as painful boils began to appear all over his face.
Jas then turned to look at the other one. He was standing up with difficulty and went to grab his wand.
"Accio wand." Jas made a simple gesture and pulled the wand towards him.
"W-Wait!" The thief began to panic. He rose his hands up. "Please, don't shoot ! We just wanted a few coins, that's all."
Jas glanced at the thief. "You can earn mo—"
"Ahhh! It hurts!" Thief number two was screaming while scratching his face.
Jas hit him with another spell and this one collapsed on the ground.
"D-Did…did you kill him?" The thief's face had gone completely pale.
"He's just asleep, forget about your friend." Jas pulled a single galleon this ti. "If you want money, you have to earn it…now, take to The Creeping Ivy."
"You want to serve as your…guide? No way!" the thief exclaid.
Jas pointed the wand at him. "I won't be so nice if I have to ask again."
The young man trembled. "What I ant to say is…this way!" He hurried to point to his right. "We just have to follow that road and turn right…it's very close."
Jas smiled. "That's better. Go ahead. I'll follow."
