Chapter 129: Goodbye Snape Kid

"I'm sorry, Mr. Borgin... nah, I'm not. Let's stop acting like idiots and get down to business. I know how they run things here, and this entry was necessary... I know you well... plus it must be taught something to the newbies" I pointed out to Snape who was exchanging glances between us and some things in the shop that caught his eye.

"How can I help you" Borgin tried to go back to his salesman attitude, but he didn't try that hard, he just wanted us to leave or to feel that he was safe again. This business had taught him to be brave when he had his cards and cowardly when he didn't.

"Here" I said while I took a big heavy bag from my bag (inventory) and put it on the counter "Acromantula venom"

"..." Borgin was surprised, he estimated the amount in the bag, and it was not little.

"..." Snape was also surprised, he had read about acromantulas and made the same calculation as Borgin.

"Do you want it or not?" (Red)

"Yes, yes, yes..." He quickly agreed, it was not a very common business to wholesale acromantula venom.

"I also have some cursed bones that I'd like to get rid of before anyone asks questions" I took out the bones that I had used previously and that at this moment it is difficult for me to produce because of Scamander's presence.

Borgin took the things from the table and appraised them, he didn't make many strange movements, but with people like him, you don't know. He offered a price that was less than the corresponding price, but I let him pass, this transaction was not to obtain profit but rather recognition.

"We also want to buy some things"(Red)

"If we have it, take it" he changed his attitude almost completely, although if it wasn't like that he couldn't have kept this place for so long.

I didn't take my eyes off him during the entire transaction, Severus was nervous like the other times, but he hid it well.

We buy some books and materials that are not very dangerous but are usually regulated by the ministry. We got out of the place rather quickly, although things were under control to a certain extent, I couldn't be sure that everything would work out.

We moved the area several times before resting in a relatively safe place. There were still some things missing from our shopping lists, but they would be easy to get, so much so that I decided to give them to him later when I bought them from the merchant, it wasn't a good idea to appear in that kind of store again at the moment...

"I think we already have everything, the rest I'll get and then I'll give it to you. You know the rules, everything in secret and nothing very dangerous without supervision, I don't want one of my only male friends to die for being an idiot, understand?"

"Yes..." he nodded involuntarily, there was something else that was going through his mind "Red... Are you a criminal?" He asked after a long time, it was something that he always doubted, seeing how I developed in this place as if I knew all its secrets.

"Are you about to judge me or give me an errand?" I asked with some humor, it was funny to see Snape like that.

"I'm not judging you, it's just curiosity, it doesn't matter if you're a criminal or whatever..." He denied with some relief as if he had let those questions go "Without you, it would be difficult to have achieved these things, in the world in the one we live there is a lot of shit to worry about those things. We are friends and that's all"

"Ahh… Sev got sentimental…"(Red)

"I take back what I said, we are not friends..." (Sev)

"Don't be like that little bitch" I said as I wrapped my arm around his neck and squeezed him, knowing full well that he hated it. I liked little Snape, he was funny "There are beautiful things in this world too"

"Like what?" he asked angrily at the invasion of his personal space.

"Lily..." I whispered with a smile.

"..." he went rigid, unable to refute what I said.

"Or are you going to tell me it's not..."(Red)

"No, no... that, no..." he was stammering with some embarrassment and internal conflicts.

"I know... I know what it's like to be in love, you're seeing a specialist... well, maybe not the most recommended, but I know what I'm talking about most of the time"(Red)

"But… but… she pays more attention to you than to me, she almost ignores me sometimes" Sev released some of the things that were stuck in his throat, he felt stricken by the lack of response by Lily.

"If you know that she uses me as her personal servant and that all the attention I get from her is because of what I can give her and get for her"(Red)

"Yes but..."(Sev)

"Look at this situation now, who would you pay more attention to? The person who is just as lost as you, or who was able to get you things you wouldn't get any other way? It's not that she doesn't love you... well, she doesn't love you, but it's because she doesn't care about these things yet, do you understand?"(Red)

*Sigh* "Yeah..." he stated listlessly.

"Look, if she looked at me with the eyes that you look at her, I could at least say that I enjoy it, but it's kind of tiring how she treats me.

I think she takes me for granted and thinks she can ask me for anything without giving anything in exchange. Between you and me, it's possible that I'll collect them later... maybe like to put something on the next cupcake I bring her... but don't say anything, this is a secret between bros, okay?" (Red).

"Okay" Sev nodded with a slight smile. Although I annoyed him, he considered me his friend, and my words eased some of his lovesickness.

"You know what...follow me!...we're going to put a smile on 'Sev the bitter' face and make him stop thinking about girls who don't pay attention to him" I smiled mischievously as I led him away holding onto his robe.

"Where we go?" He asked very confused, but he didn't get an answer all the way.

...

We moved for some time through the dark streets of knockturn Alley looking for a certain place. I've never been there so I had a hard time finding it, but I wouldn't stop just for that.

In my time, this place had already disappeared decades ago, but it had become another research point for the aurors. While we were working in that place, Tonks told me that a workfellow gossip told her about the history of that place and how she had come in a raid when she was a rookie.

We find ourselves in front of a wooden door in a building without many windows. Both the night and my robes were enough to cover whoever was using my wand to draw a symbol on the door.

The door was slightly opened and let us see the part of the rough and somewhat intimidating face of a man who asked in an irritated manner.

"What do you want?"(???)

"We came to buy dragon meat" I said, hoping that the password I heard would work.

"What is that? We don't sell that here, this is a flower shop"(???)

"Then I'll settle for drinking lilies' tea"(Red)

The door closed once more before opening fully, but there was no one behind it. Behind that wooden door there was a corridor leading to another door, but made of cloth that, when crossed, revealed a small room with a counter run by a woman with large breasts highlighted by her neckline, hair tied in a bun, mole under her lip and a lot of makeup but well applied.

"I'm sorry, but we don't offer services to children" The lady behind the counter said right after we entered without showing the slightest contempt and with such naturalness that she was scary.

"How strange, Kesar recommended this place and said didn't exclude anyone" I commented, but I was lying, Kesar existed, but I never met him, it was part of the story Tonks told me.

"Ohh... Mr. Belov hasn't sent me clients for a long time. How is he now?" The lady showed an even bigger smile, but my instincts told me it was fake.

"... You... already know, right?" I reasoned by following my instincts and taking into account the circumstances.

Kesar Belov was a criminal wizard with some power in the underworld, he was related to several businesses like this, but he was captured. News of his imprisonment was hidden, as they planned to use the information he had given them to attack all these businesses, this one, in particular, would be his target the following year.

Where we were now might be questionable, but what was truly illegal was their deal with Kesar to use the underground as a stopover for the traffic of magical creatures and regulated merchandise. It was a technique of hiding a great evil with a lesser evil.

"Red..." Snape called to me, pulling on my sleeve as his gaze darted around the room. This was out of our plans and he didn't know what we were here to do, the place was filled with a strong smell of incense that made him nervous.

I walked over to the counter and pulled out a small bag filled with clearly visible gold galleons. The lady looked at the bag, took it and put it under the counter to ask with her usual smile.

"What do you want, gentlemen? We have a wide variety. We currently have a couple of metamorphmagus working in the establishment, here you are only limited by your creativity"(???)

"I want the best of the best, in ability, for my friend. I want him to remember this day for the rest of his life, even if he doesn't want to. Money doesn't matter, but I want him to forget about the girl who hasn't been reciprocating." " (Grid)

"What are we doing here?" Snape couldn't take the intrigue anymore, especially when he heard that I was referring to him in my request.

"Trust me" I told Snape that he was confused then turned back to the lady "The best of the best"

"I think we can give him what you want, but the price is a bit expensive" (???)

Hearing it, I took out another bag of galleons, but the lady didn't flinch or move, so I took out another one, and it still didn't move, so I took out a third one, and only then was there a reaction. The money was taken by the lady, then he took the wand out of her and hit her twice on something behind the counter.

A short time later, a voluptuous blonde woman with glowing skin, purple paint on the sides of her eyes, and clothing that could only be described as intertwined threads emerged from the door on the left side.

I didn't quite know how to describe the presence of this woman, she had a kind of natural charm, almost like my auras, and maybe because I was used to those auras, I quickly got out of her charm. I'm almost sure she has a lineage from some enchanting being like the Veelas, but she must not be very pure.

"What's wrong Miss Andra. Have Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy returned?" asked the remarkable woman

"Gigi!" Miss Andra yelled at the woman when she saw how was forgetting the confidentiality of her clients.

"Sorry, who do we have today?" (Gigi)

"New Guests" (Miss Andra)

"Oh... young meat, it's good to be able to change" The woman said looking at us, seemed as if she was somehow relieved at our age instead of disgusted.

"It was true about coming to see naked girls!" Sev exclaimed after also getting rid of the charm, completely incredulous by what he was seeing.

"Yeah…'see'…that…"(Red)

"Are the two of you coming together?" 'Gigi' smiled naughtily

"NO, I DON'T..." Sev tried to deny quickly, but I covered his mouth.

"No, only he, he's new and he would be too much, if it weren't like that, I would have called him some more girls" (Red)

"What a good friend you have!" Gigi said and went to hug Snape's neck, squeezing him with her huge breasts as he froze, and she whispered coquettishly in Snape's ear "Come on sweetie, I'm going to show you what mommy and daddy do when you're not around."

"RED...! NO...! I...!" Snape yelled as he was dragged by the woman towards the door on the right with a panicked expression.

"Have fun... ahh, Gigi, show him everything to blow his mind, but nothing to humiliate him. And no potions and weird spells, I can get him exhausted and half dead, but I need him with all his mental faculties tomorrow and without any trace that we were here... I'll leave you a good tip with your boss for when you're done, take your time."(Red)

"WAIT! RED...!" Snape didn't stop asking me for help until he walked through the door, or rather stop listening to him, the soundproofing spells in this place are pretty good.

*Inhale* *Exhale*"Ahhh... I don't know if I'm a very good friend or a very bad one"(Red)
