Draco's Detour in Knockturn Alley

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, accompanied by Hagrid, go shopping in Diagon Alley. They encounter Draco Malfoy and his mother Narcissa in Madam Malkin's robe shop. A tense confrontation occurs, with Narcissa threatening Harry. Later, Harry spots Malfoy sneaking off alone and, using his Invisibility Cloak, follows him into Knockturn Alley. They observe Malfoy threatening Mr. Borgin in Borgin and Burkes, demanding he fix something and keep another item safe. Malfoy mentions Fenrir Greyback as a family friend to ensure Borgin's compliance. Hermione attempts to investigate but is quickly thrown out. Harry is convinced Malfoy is up to something sinister.
