After getting the cape, the mask was the most plicated thing to get since most of the masks were very festive, except for one, which was the right one for this kind of situation, a cat mask, a simple design but perfect to go unnoticed. It was also her favorite...

  Now that I have what I o hide my identity there are only two things left, one is to find the entrao the pce, and two, to get rid of the map for a moment, so Alphonse ot discover that I am in a pce that the map does not indicate.

  My teacher said that although they were illegal stores that were i locations in Diagon Alley, they were pces that were not on maps, so their entrance could only be achieved with code words, I hought this would work for me in this situation.

  Once I put on all my clothes, I took advantage of the fact that some children were passing by me and I put my map in one of the backpacks of one of them and proceeded to enter one of the oldest stores where there were only destroyed or collectible gadgets, a junkyard where you could say that no oers due to its little use because they are mostly rare decorative things.

  The objects are full of dust and some of them have cockroaches and rodents crawling over them, as I go deeper into the store I see a desk where the only living light rested, a dle, and a book in a nguage I had never seen before.

  "Something of your i or are you looking for something specific?"-sounds a voice behind me and I feel how the tip of a wand is positioned on my babsp;

  "I'm just , I found it quite an iing pce"- before entering I used a spell called sonport which allows to ge the voice to thicker her-pitched tones depending on the person's need without damaging or affeg the vocal cords.

  "I see, ime call if you need something before snooping through a person's things"- excims a stooped old woman walking by my side after unclipping the wand from my babsp;

  The old woman after taking a seat at the desk begins to read in a strange nguage the book that was on the desk, when I look better from the front, I see her gray hair and her rottehat look like they will fall at any moment from her mouth, you also see in her hands that the tips of her fingers have a pletely dark shade, uhe rest of her pale and lifeless skin tone, on her fihere were alss with skulls and some with a kind of bck pearls.

  This womao have enough knowledge to show the entrao the darkest parts of the alley, but first I will have to gairust, the most difficult part of this...

  "Excuse me, ma'am, I didn't mean to be rash, I'll take a few things from this pce, so I'll take a walk around the pce."

  "Buy quickly a out of here if you don't wao throw you out myself"- says the old woman with a tone full of disgust.

  As I turn around I start to take a better look at the pce, it is evident that he is watg me from different pces iore, I feel how different looks are pointing at me, so I have to be very careful.

  In this pce there are different creatures stuffed and put on dispy, creatures that I had not seen before, some I would say that seem artificial and fake, there are also different variants of wendigos, mandrakes, and some types of simir pnts, prik would be very curious, there are even ivorous pnts and spiders that have flowers on their body as a method of camoufge for hunting is. There is jewelry with bones simir to what the old woman has, potions, old books, and rare magical items, although all of this is cool it is not what I am looking for....

  "watch out!!!"- shouts a man running out of the basement of the pce chasing a small bck cat that runs past me running at high speed.

  As I turn to look at the cat it stops dead in its tracks and proceeds to look me straight in the eye, its eyes ge color from a shade of blue to a shade of purple and proceeds to jump on me and stand on my head.

  The old woman stands up angrily from her seat and proceeds to walk towards me in a threatening manner, ign the man who was desperately begging the old woman for fiveness.

  "Iing... I've never seen this before, tell me midget... what are you really looking for?"

  I don't know what's going on, this is weird, the old dy's attitude suddenly ged to a more curious tone about me, does this all have to do with the cat?

  "I am looking for metallic, red gold, and some other materials that I was told I could find here."

  "Who gave you that information dwarf?"- says the old woman a bit annoyed and holding her oi my nebsp;

  "Between us, we 't sell out, I'm sorry I 't tell you, old dy."

  "You are a rather strange man...and your creature should not be here" The old woman lowered her wand and proceeds to grab the cat above my head, though it gs tightly to my cloak so as not to be separated from me.

  "It's definitely something very strange"- says the old woman as she resigns herself to putting the cat doroceeds to turn her bad walk towards the basement-"what are you waiting for dwarf, follow me before I regret it, Philip take care of the store, ter I'll take care of reprimanding you for what happened."

  As the old woman desds the stairs, she lights another dle that opens a path through the thick darkness of the pbsp;

  After walking a few steps we hit one of the 4 basement walls.

  "Here you will find what you need dwarf, you better not be long and not talk about this pce or I'll look for you myself."

  The old woman lifts the dle with her right hand and the step with her other hand she proceeds to cross the wall as if nothing, wheook out her hand again she mao see something that she has not noticed before due to the old woman's clothing. On her forearm was the spitting image of the same skull and serpent I saw before I died, the familiar dark mark, the mark that is engraved with fire on the left forearm... the symbol of Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

  No wohese people live here, in these underworlds... but I hought I'd run into one of them so quickly.

  That must be the access key to this pce, besides now I uand the fear of that man and why he begged the old woman for fiveness, these people are cruel and merciless, and a mistake cost you your life or the life of something you love.

  "Well old dy, I'll buy what I need aire."

  The old woman takes a few steps bad doesn't take her eyes off me, so I take oep away from the wall and without thinking twice I y eyes and walk through the wall.

  When I opened my eyes again I was in an alley simir to Diagon Alley but this one was different, its dark shades and disgusting smells flooded the whole pce, it was literally the opposite of Diagon Alley, in the premises there are different illegal creatures, fairies, and mermaids exposed as if they were trophies, some still alive and ed by their limbs.

  There are also heads of different creatures in tainers with a green liquid in them, eyes of different shapes and sizes, and strange food of dubious in, people do not get off my back.

  Just by looking at the people, I realize that it is a really dangerous pce, although there are people like me with masks and robes that cover them in their ey, there are others who simply walk the dark streets, some that with only their clothes you tell that they are of high css, and oher hand there are those who were ed by the pd live in it, people full of dirt, ed by drugs or potions that gives them a little happiness in their filthy life ireets.

  It's a very simir enviroo the one I used to live in after the tragedy, it was like being ba my own time... right now I'm on my own turf.

  Walking through these streets is easier, there are no crowds of people anywhere, the stores are not colpsed, the only problem for a person who does not know this world is not knowing how to iate.

  "You damned midget, what are you doing with my creature?"- shouted a man in front of me limping due to his peg leg, resembling a pirate by his dirty and u appearanbsp;
