KNOCKTURN ALLEY WALKWAY !
Dark cobblestone, broken sidewalks, black lanterns and lamps, the Knockturn Alley makes a person feel as if they are walking through the set of some gothic monster movie or gothic ghost movie. The shadows here seem to have a life of its own and the peddlers here leer at you with beady eyes and a villainous glint. Most of the time they are harmless, and merely curious about you, at least that's what you tell yourself. It is highly recommended that you do not sit down at one of the benches or meander around aimlessly. You never know who might want to talk to you or worst. At night, Knockturn Alley is lit up with green flames that flicker within the lanterns and pale gold flames that dance in the lamp posts.

BORGIN & BURKES !
Borgin and Burkes has a bit of a dark history. After all, this is the store where Tom Riddle got his first job, where he first laid eyes on the Cup of Hufflepuff. Well, Borgin and Burkes is still around and it is still as shady as ever. Dark artifacts that are rare and powerful can be found here. Gothic furniture, chains, and other dark decor are also found here too. Borgin and Burkes is a store that is almost like a high end pawn shop. Sometimes stuff found here can be worth a lot of money, sometimes they're not worth anything. It's all a treasure hunt for those in love with the dark arts. Though, the stuff found here is nothing compared to trades that are made secret in alleyways and shadows.

POSIONED APPLE APOTHECARY !
The Poisoned Apple Apothecary carries the usual potions ingredients at a much cheaper price than in Diagon Alley. The reason for this is because not many people come here. Which is good since this apothecary also carries certain ingredients that wouldn't be available to those who refuse to set foot in Knockturn Alley. Some of these ingredients aren't found legally in the market, and only certain witches and wizards would know how to acquire these ingredients from the shopkeeper. The apothecary is a small shop that is tight and doesn't have a lot of space to move around in. It's dark and has a faint smell of mold and rotting fruit. Not a very pleasant place to be in at all.

BLOOD BAT PUB & INN !
When you think about the Blood Bat Pub & Inn, you'd think that it would be a small, dingy, filthy pub with blood stains on the table and walls, dust covering the floor and seedy looking customers. Well, you wouldn't be wrong about the bloodstains but you are wrong about almost everything else - the seedy looking customers are still up to debate. The Blood Bat Pub & Inn looks like a tavern on the outside but on the inside, there's a rustic look to it. A chandelier hangs from the roof, high ceilings, polished wooden tables and chairs. It actually feels like an old half castle half tavern kind of place, only inn-sized. The first floor of the Blood Bat is the pub. Most of the customers here range from high class men to dark creatures to Black Market Traders. On occasions, they'll decide to stay the night and that's where the inn upstairs come into play. The rooms provided are comfortable, though has a cold aura to it and never mind the occasion odd stain that looks like blood, or the chains on the wall. Not many witches or wizards that don't want to be accused of dealing with the Dark Arts come here.

ORACLE OF CIRCE !
The Oracle of Circe is a small, tiny, tiny shop that is about the size of a large shed, ok about two large sheds. In it, various divination tools are sold - from tarot cards to runes to tea leaves and cups - but these artifacts are infused with Dark Magic. They are often times correct but require something from the asker. In the back of the store lies a facet with a basin of water that is always filled to the top with murky black water. The facet drips constantly yet the basin never overflows. Rumor has it that the basin predicts the future accurately but with a price. Only few dark witches and wizards would know what the price is. Those foolish enough to ask but not know how to pay are punished severely with bad luck or even death. What's even more interesting about this store is that no one knows who runs it. Each item is marked with a price and to pay all one must do is deposit the money into a black box sitting on the counter. If one tries to steal from the store, well, let's just say when you try to leave without paying, you get a nasty scratch across the face. There was once a wizard who lost his nose trying to shoplift from this Oracle of Circe.
