Harry's smile faltered when he heard this.
Why don't you continue?
He also wanted to hear what sixty and seventy were like.
As for what I learned today...
Harry hesitated, unable to speak for a mont.
About half a minute later, he managed to utter: "Knockturn Alley is very dangerous. Little wizards must not co here."
Sebastian smiled knowingly and guided Harry, "Think about it first, why were you targeted by these guys?"
Why were you targeted?
How can I seek justice here?
Do dark wizards need a reason to rob?
I didn't do anything, I was just walking quietly, when suddenly soone grabbed my arm.
Seeing Harry's confused look, Sebastian stopped and gave Harry a hint.
"Observe what other people look like when they co to Knockturn Alley."
What do the others look like?
Harry stopped to observe and gradually discovered that the pedestrians here were completely different from those in Diagon Alley.
Not only are there few wizards here, but most of them are in a hurry with a clear purpose, and they don't look like they are here for sightseeing at all.
Both wizards and witches had alert looks on their faces and held their wands tightly in their hands, looking like they were not soone to be trifled with.
What's worse, so wizards are completely covered in wizard robes, with only a pair of eyes showing, looking extrely mysterious.
Recalling his actions in entering Knockturn Alley, Harry gradually ca to his senses.
"Mr. Jack, have I behaved like a rookie since I ca in? I look like soone who is easy to bully?"
"So, those people targeted ."
"Very quick response!" Sebastian praised.
He really wanted to ruffle Harry's hair like he did before, but when he saw that fat, completely unfamiliar face, he decisively gave up the idea.
"Whenever you go to an unfamiliar place, rember to be alert at all tis and never act like a rookie."
"Otherwise, those dark wizards will co over like hyenas, slling the scent."
"Our Knockturn Alley is fine. The atmosphere here is very depressing. People will automatically be on high alert when they enter here."
"But in wizard gathering places in many countries, dark wizards and ordinary wizards are mixed together. They specifically target those unfamiliar, rookie-like guys."
"Once you are targeted, you may lose money at best, or even your life at worst."
"By the way," Sebastian asked with a smile, "What do you think the image of a dark wizard is like?"
"Next ti you see , can you tell them apart at a glance?"
Identify dark wizards?
This is easy!
After walking for so long, I have morized all the images of the wizards in Knockturn Alley.
Harry said confidently, "I think it's OK!"
"Most of those dark wizards were dressed in rags and had ferocious expressions. They looked like they were not easy to ss with."
Hearing this, Sebastian smiled helplessly: "According to your standards, almost all the wizards in Knockturn Alley can be judged as dark wizards."
Isn't it?
Harry looked at Sebastian in surprise, wanting to hear where he went wrong.
"In fact, most of those ragged wizards are ordinary wizards who are poor and destitute."
"They choose to live here only because the housing prices here are cheap."
"Due to the nature of Knockturn Alley, they have to act like they are not easy to ss with. Otherwise, it is not safe to stay here."
Sebastian pointed to a few wizards floating behind them and said to Harry.
"These guys are just so low-class hooligans. Real dark wizards often look like good people."
"And they never hesitated when they attacked. Unlike these guys, they would co up and shout at us. They look very amateurish at first glance."
"So, when facing strangers, you must always be vigilant!"
"Next question," Sebastian continued walking forward with Harry, "If you encounter a situation like that again, what would you do?"
"Just pull out your wand and warn them to stay away?" Harry gave his answer hesitantly.
"How do you draw your wand? Do you rember which hand you were caught with?"
"Right hand!" Harry blurted out.
I definitely rember this correctly, my right arm still hurts a little now.
Why ask such a simple question?
Harry was a little puzzled, but after seeing Sebastian's half-smile, he gradually reacted.
There seems to be sothing wrong!
Soone grabbed his right arm and it seed that he couldn't pull out his wand.
Harry smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Jack, I don't know what to do when soone controls my right hand."
"Faced with this extre situation, the best way is to learn to cast spells without a wand."
"Or train your left hand so that you can cast spells with a wand with your left hand."
"Of course, the safest scenario is to stay alert and not let others touch you."
Harry nodded, going over the options in his head.
If you go to an unfamiliar place, the first thing you should do is not act like a rookie. You should be more aggressive and make yourself look like soone who is not easy to ss with.
Secondly, you must stay vigilant at all tis and not let strangers get close to you.
If sothing doesn't feel right, draw your wand and cast a spell.
"Mr. Jack," Harry looked at Sebastian and asked the question in his mind, "Why did the Ministry of Magic allow Knockturn Alley to exist?"
"There are too many dark wizards here anyway."
Hearing this, Sebastian sighed softly.
"This is a very cruel reality. The Ministry of Magic does not have the ability to manage Knockturn Alley like Diagon Alley."
"In other words, the Ministry of Magic needs Knockturn Alley to exist."
Why is this happening?
Harry was completely confused. He looked at Sebastian, hoping that Sebastian could give him so reasonable explanation.
"Obviously, as a well-known gray area in the wizarding world, this place provides so services and items that are difficult for the Ministry of Magic to track. Even so employees of the Ministry of Magic will take advantage of the resources here."
"On the other hand, the existence of Knockturn Alley has concentrated most of the dark forces in one place, preventing these forces from spreading throughout the wizarding world."
"This implicit 'balance' makes the Ministry of Magic hesitant in governing Knockturn Alley."
"After all, there are endless dark wizards. If we clean up Knockturn Alley today, a Twist Alley or a Twist Alley will pop up in so unknown corner tomorrow."
"So, the Ministry of Magic chose to let Knockturn Alley exist, and only let the Aurors co here to sort it out when there is a need."
"One last thing," Sebastian said aningfully, "look around at the shops."
"Although they don't look impressive, behind every store there is the shadow of a pure-blood family. These stores can bring a lot of wealth to those pure-blood families."
"If we want to control Knockturn Alley, the pure-blood families will probably be the first to jump out and oppose it."
So that's how it is!
After hearing Sebastian's explanation, Harry suddenly understood.
I didn't expect that the small Knockturn Alley actually had so many twists and turns.
It seems that I thought the problem was too simple!
Suddenly, Harry saw Sebastian stopped and stood in front of a dimly lit magic shop.
Arrived at the destination?
Harry looked up and carefully read the writing on the worn sign.
"This is Borgin and Burke's?"
