In the end, Elwyn did not enter the Underground World.
He carried quite a number of Compound Decoctions with him and did not need to go to the Underground World to purchase them. After Delphie became Hermione, they returned to the Ministry of Magic and snuck into the Minister's office to look for the Time Converter …
Although they did not enter the Underground World the last time, Elwyn found out from Delphie how to enter it.
It was said that in the basement of the house at the end of Knockout Alley, there was a tunnel that led to the crypt.
Just like entering Diagonal Alley from the Leaky Cauldron Bar, by hitting a brick on the basement wall with a magic wand, one could open the entrance to the underground space.
However, this was information from eighteen years later, so Elwyn was not sure if it would be useful now.
The four of them walked along the street, carefully moving forward, into the depths of Knockout Alley.
The group walked slowly, Harry and Ron looked around from time to time, looking for traces of Malfoy.
Elwyn laid in Hermione's arms, looking around cautiously.
Knockout Alley had not changed much compared to the current Knockout Alley eighteen years later, except that it was more run-down. Many of the black magic shops on both sides of the street had been replaced by shops that sold Vampires and Witchcraft items. The only thing that did not change was the thick aura of darkness that shrouded the alley.
Elwyn was sure that they were very suspicious.
Regardless of their clothing, mannerisms, or their very existence, they did not fit in with anything else in Knockout Alley.
Fortunately, they had the Invisibility Cloak, so no one came looking for trouble.
Just like that, five minutes later, the four of them arrived at the end of Knockout Alley, where the house closed up. The house at the end of the alley was a bar, the Murderer Bar that Fred mentioned earlier. From the outside, it looked no different from the Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagonal Alley, probably built from the same period.
However, the surrounding environment and atmosphere was much worse than the Leaky Cauldron. They could not see what was going on inside through the pitch-black door, but they could smell a strange, pungent smell coming from the bar, which seemed to be the smell of alcohol and blood. It was easy to imagine the identity of the customers who could drink in such a place. No wonder Fred and George would come here in search of excitement.
"The end!" Hermione said. "We must have missed Malfoy."
"Strange, I didn't see him in the shop in front …" Harry said.
"Let's go back. We've been gone for too long." Ron kept looking around.
"Elwyn, what do you think?" Hermione asked uncertainly.
"Meow!" Elwyn jumped out of Hermione's arms and jumped into the dark gap between two shops not far away.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other and hurriedly followed, squeezing their way in.
In the crevice, Elwyn's body was changing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he changed back. He said, "Have you heard of the underground world of Knockout Alley? In this bar in front of us, there is a passage that leads to that place. "
"Underground world? I remember Lupin saying that it's an area where werewolves gather … "
"Yes, it's an area where werewolves gather." Elwyn said, "But there are not only werewolves in the underground world. There are also many black wizards, thieves and liars like the Mondungues, and the house-elves that we saw in Fred and George's shop. This is the dark side of the magic world."
"Underground world, werewolves' territory, Malfoy." Harry murmured. Suddenly, he thought of something and raised his voice. "I'm sure. Do you still remember? Malfoy just mentioned Fenrir Greyback. He told Bojin that Greyback was a friend of his family. He must have come to find the werewolf. That must be it. They must be plotting something together. Maybe Lord Voldemort ordered them to do something … "
"What would Lord Voldemort order Malfoy to do?!" Hermione asked. "With Malfoy's ability, what could he do?! Harry, you're too paranoid. Maybe things aren't as complicated as we think. "
Harry shook his head and didn't answer. He hadn't thought of what to say yet. He reconsidered Malfoy's actions and the proud expression on his face when he left the shop. The only thing he could be sure of was that anything that made Malfoy so happy was definitely not something good.
Now, this matter was related to werewolves.
What was the smug Malfoy and the Werewolf plotting?
"Let's go back. This place is very close to the werewolves' territory. It's too dangerous," Hermione said.
She still remembered what happened a few years ago. She had countless nightmares about the terrifying werewolves.
"I think Hermione is right." Ron agreed with her opinion, which was rare. He stared at the entrance of the Murderer's Bar as if a werewolf would jump out at any second. "Why do we need to find Malfoy? Think about it, he's only sixteen years old. The mysterious man wouldn't ask him to do anything unless he's crazy."
"There must be something we don't know about here. Malfoy and the werewolves …" Harry said. He turned to look at Elwyn. "I want to take a look at the underground world. Malfoy must be there."
"Harry, this so-called underground world is very big. It's not like that black magic shop. If Malfoy really went in, we might not be able to find him. Besides, it's very dangerous there." Hermione said, "Our most important thing now is not to investigate what Malfoy is doing, but to ensure your safety."
"Alright, Hermione. Let's go in and take a look. It's not that dangerous." Elwyn said. He was also very curious about the underground world. Since they were already at the entrance, there was no reason not to go in. "The underground world doesn't only have werewolves. It's not like others are not allowed to enter. Let's go in and take a look. If Malfoy really went to the underground world, we'll definitely meet him down there. We'll know what he's planning. Of course, the three of you stay close to me. If there's really an accident, we'll just turn into phantoms and leave. "
As long as Lord Voldemort was not down there, Elwyn felt that with his strength, it would not be a problem to escape with them.
Hermione looked at Elwyn, pursed her lips, and did not say anything.
Ron was the same. He kept looking at the three of them and finally accepted this decision.
"Alright, what are you going to do? Sneak in with the Invisibility Cloak? "
"We can just walk in. It's not like it's forbidden." Elwyn said and took out four hooded cloaks. "Of course, we still need some necessary protective measures. Don't let others see our appearances."
The four of them put on the cloaks and covered their bodies from head to toe. They then walked into Murder Bar.
It was not just the outer appearance. The interior of the bar was similar to the Broken Cauldron.
However, the decorations were completely different. The walls were painted with dark red paint, but it was not evenly distributed. It looked like coagulated blood clots, and it looked very unpleasant. There were many dark blue curtains hanging inside the bar, dividing the room into many private areas. There was a small table in each area.
This kind of decoration was originally full of mystery, but now it looked a little disgusting. Because the bar's hygiene was too bad, the curtains had not been washed for who knew how long. They were covered in dust, and the color was also black. It was almost impossible to see their original appearance. Many of the curtains were filled with foxes.
The lighting in the room was very dim. The windows were thick with dirt, and the light from the outside could not pass through.
