ORDER ONLY: black market
Oct. 15th, 2008 06:09 pmI'm slowly worming my way in to the black market here. I've changed lodgings, by the way, and I'm now in the Greek Quarter - less expensive, but considerably seedier. Deliberately seedier.
I've been going to the less attractive parts of town hoping to find someone with a line on the things we need - now adding black-market potions, Arthur - and last night I finally caught a break.
A gang of young men tried to rob me on my way home. Muggles, you understand, but I ran them off with a few well-aimed hexes. Not before they'd managed to get a few licks in, unfortunately. I'm fine! Just a bit knocked about.
They didn't get my galleons, but they did manage to help themselves to the Muggle money I had in my pockets.
On the upside, the incident was an entry to the wizarding underground, in a way. Henrich Laszlo's self-protection attracted the attention of several Turkish wizards with unsavoury connections. Just what we need.
So slow progress, but progress.
Poppy? How is he doing? Remus, I mean - is he up and about yet?
