A broken Hogwarts

After locking the captured man in an abandoned hut near Shafik Manor, Owen took Kurt to the bookstore in Knockturn Alley.

"This kid... wants to help in the store?" Natasha stared at a pair of eyes that didn't look very bright, looking up and down at the somewhat reserved Kurt, her eyes focused on the other person's orange-yellow color that was so bright it was almost fluorescent. The emphasis stayed on the hair for a while.

"Do you know how troublesome it is to raise children?" The expression on her face twisted. "Boys of this age are always jumping up and down with great energy and can't sit still for a moment. They often lose control of their emotions without warning and make noises. Making trouble, and suddenly shouting at girls——"

"Ahem, is there?" Owen coughed slightly, interrupting Natasha's increasingly inappropriate words. Why doesn't he remember this period in his previous life?

Natasha glanced at him sideways, spread her hands and said with a stern face: "Of course. You are still young, Owen, and probably haven't reached the age where people hate dogs..." But now she is disobedient enough. Wouldn't it be a rebellion? She felt uneasy for no reason.

Owen resisted the urge to roll his eyes, tried to maintain his demeanor, and said calmly: "If you keep talking, I will cut your salary."

Natasha quickly closed her mouth and pointed her eyes at Lupin, who was pretending to be a wooden man next to her.

Lupine smiled helplessly and said to Owen in a gentle voice: "Do you want him to live here? You know, if there are any intruders, this place will not be so safe."

"I can fight! I'm very obedient and very capable!" Kurt shouted with a serious face, trying to look mature and reliable. He thought for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes and thought hard about something. His height suddenly grew a bit taller, and even the contours of his cheeks became more angular.

"Huh?" Natasha's eyes lit up. She walked around Kurt with a novel look on her face, exclaiming in amazement. She immediately forgot about the topic and said curiously: "Are you a Metamorphmagus? You can turn into me." ?"

She pretended to lift her long crimson hair and looked at the other person expectantly.

Kurt looked solemnly and looked at her carefully, seeming to regard this as another test. He frowned slightly, his face and body shape began to change rapidly, his hair quickly lengthened and turned red, his facial contours became softer, the shape and position of his facial features changed, and his face and body shape became closer and closer to Natasha.

In the blink of an eye, a smaller Natasha appeared in front of everyone.

Kurt looked down at his chest and his face fell: "I haven't mastered my abilities yet. Now I can only adjust my height and body shape in a small range..." His voice did not change and was still a slightly deep male voice. .

Owen watched his changes with interest, and said with a smile: "You'd better learn to change your voice, um, the magic of changing your voice."

"I know how to use it, my grandfather taught me!" Kurt nodded repeatedly, looking at him with admiration, but the face that belonged to Natasha had such an expression, which made people look awkward.

"Very good." Owen looked away without changing his expression, looked at Natasha and Lupine and said, "Did you find anything special in the bookstore? For example, a hidden secret door or something..."

Lupine's expression became serious, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Ever since the bookstore has been targeted one after another, I have wondered if there is something hidden here. When I was repairing the bookstore a few days ago, I was in the whole house. I checked inside and found nothing worth paying attention to, nor any secret door."

Owen nodded. It seemed that Kurt's grandfather's treasure was not hidden here. He still has great trust in Lu Ping's ability and character.

"Okay, it's time for me to go. Kurt will live here from now on. There is still an empty room upstairs." He had no intention of staying here for the time being.

Natasha, who was pinching Kurt's face with great interest, turned down the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and muttered in a low voice: "Hiring child labor is not a good idea..."

"You can say he is a relative's child or something." Owen said casually, nodded slightly, and turned around and walked out of the bookstore.

Kurt's eyes followed his back closely, and Owen felt that the scorching gaze was almost burning through the clothes on his back, so he disapparated without any expression on his face.

He came directly to a dark alley at the boundary between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, and then walked through a narrow alley familiarly and entered the lively Diagon Alley.

He quickly returned to the place where he had been teleported away by the portkey, where Blaise was wandering anxiously and Melete was walking around waving her tail irritably.

After seeing Owen, Blaise breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief. Pidianpian ran over and grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously: "Are you okay? You don't know, I was so scared that I almost sat your cat down. pie!"

Melete raised her hind legs and kicked the guy hard in the calf, then jumped up and threw herself into Owen's arms. Blaise hugged his legs in pain and jumped up.

"I'm fine." Owen reached out and hugged Melet, gently comforting the anxious little guy. The cat was in his arms and rubbed its head against his chin, its tail tightly wrapped around his wrist, and its golden cat eyes reflected his face wholeheartedly.

Owen scratched Melet's chin and comforted her for a while, then said to Blaise with a smile: "What happened to you before?"

"That sneaky guy cast a confusion spell on me!" Blaise put down his legs and panted angrily, "I just found some good stuff in the thrift store over there. One of them covered his face with a silk scarf. The wizard is right next to me, secretly pointing at me with his wand and chanting a spell for me!"

"Then I became confused. He gave me an iron ball, told me it was a novel thing, and said why don't you share it with your friends?" He gritted his teeth, " Then I ran over and gave it to you!"

"I woke up just after you disappeared. Your cat nives quickly led your mother over... Fortunately, nothing happened to you." Blaise said solemnly.

"Who told you to always be lazy when practicing spells in the study group?" Owen had a light and lazy smile on his face, squinting and enjoying the warm feeling of the sun shining on his body.

"Ah, okay, I'll try my best." Blaise said vaguely and perfunctorily, then his eyes lit up and he put his right hand into his pocket, "Owen, look what good stuff I found!"

He took out a round box the size of the palm of his hand and handed it to Owen.

This familiar plot made Owen pause for a moment, then he shook his head in amusement and reached out to take the round box. The fancy box lid suddenly popped open in his hand, and a doll that looked like an Easter Island stone statue popped out, opened its mouth and screamed loudly.

"Hey, look at your dying face and this sissy look! I don't understand who gave you the courage to come out and meet people? If I looked like you, I would rather bury my head in the toilet I'll suffocate myself to death..."

With a "pop" sound, Blaise rushed up and closed the lid of the box tightly, and the harsh yelling stopped abruptly.

"Is this what you call a fun thing?" Owen looked at him with a half-smile, looking like he was about to emit black energy.

"Well, I didn't know it could even curse people. It seems I haven't fully figured it out yet..." Blaise felt a chill on his neck for no reason. He wiped away the non-existent cold sweat and smiled bitterly: "Maybe it was random? The first time I opened it, it praised me so much, and the second time it even showed me romantic love..."

"If you don't believe me, try again?" He said and opened the lid of the box again.

"Forget it, you can keep it for fun." Owen put the box back into Blaise's hand, "It's time for me to go home. See you when school starts."

"See you again when school starts!" Blaise waved his hand and watched him disappear into the bustling crowd.

After leaving Diagon Alley, Owen apparated directly to the Shafik Manor and entered a long-abandoned shabby house on the edge of the woods.

This place is halfway up the mountain where Shafiq Manor is located, some distance away from the Muggle village below the mountain. This house seemed to have once been a forester's hut. It had not been inhabited for a long time. A big hole had collapsed in the roof, and only the dark openings of the windows were left.

The room was filled with a damp smell of moldy vegetation, and the captive man was still unconscious. Nyx stood on the windowsill with his head held high, his beautiful tail feathers hanging out of the window, reflecting the gleaming light in the sunlight.

After seeing Owen, Nyx let out a sweet chirp, filled with joy and excitement. It was obvious that it was still unfinished about the previous battle.

Owen put Melete on the ground and let her go out to play. Then he smiled at Nyx and waved his wand to cast a sound-blocking spell around the house.

Looking at the man lying on the ground, the smile on Owen's face slowly faded and became cold and indifferent. The clear black pupils were covered with a light haze, as if they had turned into a deep vortex.

He waved his wand at the man, and the debris on the man's body flew out like wings and landed on the dusty ground.

The man had very few things on him: a money bag containing dozens of gold Galleons and silver Sickles; an ordinary watch; a sharp dagger inlaid with gems and a curse on the blade; A special badge with a skull and scepter printed on the front and two lines of ancient magic letters on the back.

It's not ancient runes, but an even older magic script. Owen has not studied this kind of magic text, but there is a collection of books on this subject in the wall space.

He entered the wall-facing space to look up the information, and compared it with a magic text dictionary to decipher their meanings: the Expulsion Society.

"The Death Expulsion Society... seems to be the name of this organization." He thought and clicked his tongue with some interest, "The name is a bit interesting."

Chasing death, this line of ancient magic text can be interpreted in many different ways. It can be translated as chasing the secret of death or chasing the dead. It can also be understood as chasing the god of death or chasing transcendent death.

Owen thought for a moment, put the badge aside, pointed his wand at the man and said "Resume quickly".

When the man's eyelids began to tremble, he lowered the wand in his hand and whispered softly: "The soul leaves the body."

In Owen's opinion, the Imperius Curse is really the most suitable spell for interrogation. It is much easier to use than Veritaserum and Legilimency, which are easy to be deceived, let alone the Cruciatus Curse. Using the Cruciatus Curse to torture information is definitely the most inefficient way. In other words, the intention of people who use this method to torture is actually to torture people.

Owen's gentle spell drifted through the cabin like a breeze blowing through the treetops. He lowered his eyes and felt the tingling sensation of the Imperius Curse on his fingertips.

The man slowly opened his light blue eyes, sat up from the floor, and looked at him calmly and steadily. It can be seen that he should usually be a calm and determined person.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Owen looked at him condescendingly and said in a light and indifferent voice.

"Andres Velos." The man said slowly, his voice deep and deep.

"So, Velos, tell me where you came from?"

"I was born in Greece." Velos looked directly into Irving's eyes and said expressionlessly, "I came to this country ten years ago."

"Greeks?" Owen raised his eyebrows. In this case, as the traitor Old Garnier is from France and Velos is from Greece, it seems that the Expulsion Society is still a transnational organization.

"Tell me about your organization, Verroth. It's called the Order of the Dead, isn't it?" he said quietly.

Velos opened his mouth, a look of struggle appeared on his face, and veins appeared on his temples.

Owen moved his fingertips holding the wand, but did not feel any sign of the Imperius Curse being broken. The other party was not resisting the Imperius Curse, but seemed to be fighting something within his own body.

After a long time, Willows gasped for air, slowly shook his head at Owen, closed his mouth and looked at him without saying a word.

Owen frowned, looked at the other person with cool eyes, and said in a slow but sure voice: "You can't tell the information about the Expulsion Society?"

Velos looked at him quietly, neither admitting nor denying, but Owen had already gotten the answer from his performance.

"Nothing is okay?" Owen took a few steps back and forth and didn't hear any answer from the other party. He closed his eyes and breathed out softly: "So, you can't be the leader of the Death Society."

It is impossible for the leader of an organization to be unable to reveal the organization's intelligence!

Owen bit his lower lip gently with his teeth and sighed in his mind: "Tsk, this is really troublesome."

He thought the matter was over, but now it seemed that the trouble was far from over. Velos is not the leader of the Death-Destroying Society, so what was destroyed today should be only one of the strongholds of the Death-Destroying Society. This organization is much larger and more difficult than Owen imagined.

This method of allowing members of the organization to keep secrets is not available to ordinary dark wizard organizations. It reminded Owen of his own "Book of Secrets" and he didn't know how effective the secrecy spell in that book was.

Owen narrowed his eyes, pointed the tip of his wand directly at Willows' forehead and said, "Legilimency!"

His gaze followed the window of his eyes into the depths of the other person's brain, and the complex memory fragments were dazzling. Fortunately, his Legilimency level had made significant progress, and he quickly extracted what he wanted from those chaotic fragments, only to find that these fragments related to the Expulsion Society were shrouded in thick fog. Can't see clearly at all.

Owen exited the Legilimency state and thought unsurprisingly: "Sure enough, it is not feasible to obtain information by forceful means."

He pondered for a while and then asked: "You attacked me to get the sapphire I took away from you, right?"

Velos looked at him with an unchanged expression, like a wooden sculpture, unable to see anything.

"Then, I will go home next, and you stay here and talk to yourself about the Expulsion Society..." Owen tried.

Velos moved his eyelids slightly, shook his head very slowly, and said in a low voice: "I can't."

"I'll bring your man here, you talk to him!" Owen hugged his shoulders and still shook his head when he saw the other person.

Next, he used various methods to test and determined that there were few loopholes in the organization's confidentiality measures.

Velos cannot tell any secrets of the organization to outsiders, nor can he make any attempt to actively leak secrets. This is based on his own subjective judgment, which prevents him from disclosing information about the organization if it is likely to leak. It is a mandatory "voluntary" confidentiality.

The principle is simple. After being captured, he understands that his every move is under the surveillance of others. In this case, once he tells the secret, outsiders will know it. Therefore, after judging this, he could only bury the secret of the Death Society in his heart and could no longer reveal any information about the organization, even if it was controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to talk to himself when no one is around, as Irving said, or to communicate about the organization with the people around him. Because he has IQ and judgment, he understands that there will definitely be outsiders listening at this time! Of course, this kind of confidentiality method is not without loopholes. You only need to make the other party think that his situation is safe, and let him passively reveal the secrets of the organization without knowing it, just like Kurt being locked up in the church. It's like being able to overhear some information while in the basement.

A dozen solutions appeared in Owen's mind in an instant. He chose the simplest and most efficient one, asked Nyx and Melet to guard here first, and then apparated away to make preparations.

He first returned to his parents, collected a few hairs from a prisoner, and took away the man's robes and wand. Then he returned to Shafiq Manor, got some polyjuice potion from his room, and finally took the dark blue gem with him along with the "Book of Secrets."

After transforming into a certain member of the Banished Order through Polyjuice Potion, Owen put on his cloak, changed his wand, and returned to the hut, putting everything on Willows back in its place one by one.

Then, he smiled at Willos, pointed his wand at him and said "forget everything", modifying the other person's memory. Then he untied the rope from the opponent's body and ended the control of the Imperius Curse.

Velos blinked in confusion, looked at the familiar person in front of him, and then frowned suddenly. He reached into his pocket, but couldn't find his wand.

"Did you forget your wand and left it in the church? I managed to escape with you." Owen said solemnly.

Velos's brows furrowed into knots, and his eyes swept around the house with real eyes: "Where is this?"

"I found a temporary place to stay, which is considered safe for now." Irving said.

Velos looked at him sharply and said sternly: "We shouldn't be here!" They had other hiding places, and they shouldn't be hiding in a place like this.

He immediately became suspicious, his vigilance was raised to the highest level, but his face returned to calm.

"Oh, you made a mistake, try again." Owen's solemn expression suddenly became vivid. He waved his wand and read quickly: "Forget everything!"

Willows's eyes became confused again. He shook his head, glanced at Owen, and touched his pocket again.

"Did you forget your wand and left it in the church? I managed to escape with you with great difficulty." Owen said solemnly, "Those people know how to apparate and track. Our hiding spot has been exposed. We can only stay here for the time being." It’s here.”

"Is it safe here, Jones?" Willows glanced around silently.

"It's relatively safe. Those people didn't come here." Owen lowered his eyes, "But there are only two of us left..."

"The dead deserved their death, and as for those who were caught, we will rescue them." Velos said without any emotion, and then frowned, "Why didn't you call me that?"

"Uh, what's the matter, Willows?" Owen looked at him.

Velos's eyes became sharp in an instant.

"You made a mistake, try again." Owen waved his wand again.

"Andres...wrong, come again!"

"Brother...no, turn back!"

"..."

"Captain!" Owen shouted. Seeing that the other party's expression was normal, he then showed a frustrated expression, "Our mission failed and we lost so many people..."

Velos stared at him deeply and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, we won't be punished. Now we should find a way to get out of here. Lend me your wand, and I will take you to my hiding place."

Owen tilted his head and looked at him, suddenly becoming expressionless: "I was discovered, let's do it again."

When Willows jumped up, he waved his wand again and modified the other party's memory.

... Owen shouted angrily: "Our mission failed! I knew the ideas from those losers were unreliable!"

Velos waved his hand impatiently, shook his inexplicably dazed head, and said: "Owen Shafiq's strength is indeed beyond my expectation. This is my negligence. I will apologize to the president. President he……"

He suddenly got stuck in the middle of what he was saying, as if an invisible hand had suddenly grabbed his throat. His face darkened, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Owen.

Owen waved his wand helplessly and tied him up tightly. He rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "I didn't expect that the secret magic of the Exorcism Society can also identify members of the organization? Well, once an outsider sneaks in under disguise, Will members be prohibited from voluntarily revealing the organization's secrets to them?"

Willows stared at Owen coldly, his expression not wavering at all.

"Forget it all!" Owen once again cleared the other party's related memories, gently twirling the hair beside his ears with his fingers, thinking about what to do next.

He could write more than a dozen scripts for Velos, and then bring in other prisoners of the Expulsion Society to play with him. Through the guidance of the scripts, he would eventually be able to get the information he wanted. But Hogwarts is about to start school, and Owen doesn't have the time or energy to design such a complicated drama.

What's more, with Velos's caution and acumen, it was easy to spot problems during the entire process. And he is not a puppet, and he will not always follow Irving's script.

In other words, Owen had to be prepared to redo the script a hundred and eighty times before he could get enough information. But in fact, it is more likely that Velos has been turned into an idiot by too many forgetfulness spells...

"However, there are no other ways." Owen's expression became as cold as ice, and the dark mist in his eyes became thicker. "The secret is not only revealed when it is spoken. At this time, psychology It will come in handy.”

He lowered his head and looked at Velos, who was quietly sizing up his surroundings, seemingly looking for an opportunity to escape. He looked at Owen without fear, with a calm and unobservable look in his eyes.

This is a strong-willed person who is very good at hiding his emotions and intentions. To gain insight into such a person's mind, you must first defeat the other person's will.

And the simplest and most direct way to defeat people's will is...

Owen suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an elegant and charming smile, but his whole temperament became extremely dangerous, making Willos, who was silently observing him, tense up like a hedgehog with its thorns exploded.

"I'm sorry, Velos, but I have to do something extremely rude to you next." Owen bowed slightly in a graceful manner and said in a sincere tone.

He raised the wand in his hand towards Willos, and said in a soft and cruel voice: "Crush the heart and cut out the bones!"

Velos seemed to have been punched hard, and his body suddenly curled up into a ball. The expression that had always remained calm fell apart, his facial features were twisted together due to the extreme pain, his eyes rolled crazily in his sockets, and a shrill scream came from his mouth.

Owen squinted his eyes slightly, listening to the howling echoing in his ears, and slowly took out a silver pocket watch, looking blankly at the ticking hands on the dial.

As time passed by, Velos's screams gradually became weak, and finally only the sound of "ho ho" was left, and his body trembled and convulsed unconsciously.

Looking at the other person's eyes that gradually became vacant and lifeless, Owen closed the pocket watch cover with a "snap" and raised the wand in his hand, ending the torture.

Velos lay on his back on the ground, staring blankly at the broken roof in a daze, as if he had turned into a cold corpse. The long period of painful torture left him in a state of semi-mental collapse, his will was in a daze, and he could not even concentrate on thinking.

"Velos, let's talk." Owen's voice was clear and sweet, refreshing like a ray of clear spring. "You come from the organization of the Expulsion Society, right? In fact, I don't know anything about you. It’s clear what your purpose is.”

After hearing the name "The Expulsion Society", Velos's numb and empty eyes moved imperceptibly.

The smile on Owen's lips deepened as he took in all his subtle expressions: "I know that your Death Society is a secret organization that explores the mysteries of death. You pursue transcending death, and your organization members are all over the world... No, you The main scope of activities is in Europe, and the headquarters is located in France, England...ah, it should be Greece!"

Seeing a slight fluctuation in Velos's eyes, Owen's lips turned up, and his voice became more charming, as if he was singing a beautiful ballad: "You came to this country ten years ago and established... No, it's The forces responsible for running the Death Expulsion Society here. You have been looking for something..."

He took out the deep sapphire and the "Book of Secrets" from his pocket, held them in his two hands respectively, and waved them in front of Velos's eyes.

Paying attention to the other party's expression, Owen put away the book in his right hand with a smile, played with the blue shimmering gem with his left hand, and said in a positive tone: "You are looking for this gem, it is from Zabini. It was stolen from home. It is a key to unlock the treasure..."

"You want to get that treasure, because it can help you explore the secret of death..." He said in a voice as light as a whisper, keenly detecting a trace of confusion in Velos's expression.

"It seems that he doesn't know the inside story." Owen thought to himself and decisively ended the topic.

"Another of your mission targets is old Craig Garnier. You followed the treasures sold by little Craig and found Garnier's house..." Owen said slowly, his deep eyes staring closely. Looking at the other party's face, "Old Craig used to be a member of the Expulsion Society, but he rebelled and conspired with other betrayers to steal your important treasures..."

"That should be one..." Owen observed the subtle movements of Velos unconsciously glancing at the sapphire, and said firmly, "A gem! There is more than one such sapphire, and together they are the complete key!"

"Because I took this gem away from you, and you traced it to me through the witnesses that day and wanted to take it back from me."

Sensing the strange expression on the other party's face, Owen suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Not only that, you also want to kill me! Because I discovered your secret and killed your person...ah, because of someone you don't know. The reason is that the president of the Death Expulsion Society ordered you to kill me!"

"Not only does he want to take back the sapphire, but he also wants to kill me!" Owen played with the wand in his hand and pursed his lips.

"Although you have failed, your president will not give up. He is a Greek, no, he is..." Owen tested it and found that Velos didn't know much about the president.

In the following time, he brought up some other topics, and finally managed to piece together the whole story.

The Expulsion Society is a large-scale secret organization, its main scope of activities is in Europe, and its headquarters is located in Greece. This organization is dedicated to obtaining a way to transcend death and has attracted many members to join secretly. The president of the organization is very mysterious and few people know about him.

For many years they have been trying to find some keys to open the door to a treasure that may contain secrets about death.

More than ten years ago, old Craig Garnier betrayed the organization, stole a key and came to England incognito. Last year, due to the accidental death of Craig Sr., Craig Jr.'s prodigal behavior attracted the attention of the Exorcist Society, which in turn triggered all subsequent events.

A group of organization members headed by Willows captured and tortured Kurt and his father, and investigated all of Craig Sr.'s properties. Owen's bookstore was innocently involved in this vortex.

The person who broke into the bookstore last summer and wanted to join Natasha was indeed a member of a thieves organization. This organization is a small peripheral organization established by a member of the Expulsion Society, and has no knowledge of the Expulsion Society.

At that time, in order to prevent the bookstore from being blown up, Owen sent out the Black Devil Guards to drive away the intruders, and warned those with malicious intentions outside.

This made the members of the Exorcist Society mistakenly believe that the bookstore was occupied by a mysterious force that was not easy to mess with. Because they didn't attach much importance to this bookstore, and most of their energy was spent on tracking down Old Craig's accomplices, they stopped probing and provoking for the time being, and only left some people to explore and pay attention to the bookstore. Case.

A year passed like this, and by this summer vacation, the Exorcism Society still failed to catch Old Craig's accomplices. They thought of this bookstore. Since no trace of the organization behind the bookstore could be found for a whole year, Velos personally led people to sneak into the bookstore and planned to conduct a secret search.

As a result, they were discovered by Natasha and Lupine and were kicked out of the bookstore. Natasha also secretly recited a tracking spell on one of Willows' men.

Then this incident attracted Owen's attention. I have to say that Owen was bored out of his mind at the time, and someone happened to bump into his hand, so he happily decided to have fun.

Unfortunately, Verros accidentally learned that a gem was hidden in Zabini's house, and he, who was always resolute, led his men to steal it without any delay. By some strange combination of circumstances, Owen changed their boxes and took away their lives.

Velos and the others quickly tracked down Owen and learned about his relationship with the bookstore. This coincidence made them think more about conspiracy theories.

So they began to investigate all information about Owen and poked their heads outside the Shafik Manor. But the historic Shafiq Manor does not know how many spells have been cast on it, and it is difficult for them to break in and steal things like they sneaked into Zabini's house.

In the process, maybe they found out something special about Owen, maybe something happened, or there was some misunderstanding... In short, the president of the Expulsion Society became murderous towards Owen and ordered Velos Kill him.

But Owen always stayed at Shafiq Manor and never went out. In order to lure him out, Willows led people to attack the bookstore. However, the attack failed because of Owen's care and caution.

It is worth mentioning that the person who attacked Mr. Shafiq that day was not one of Viros’s men, and he did not know who did it. But it is obvious that the two consecutive attacks have made the Shafiq family completely vigilant, and they have strengthened their security forces both overtly and covertly.

Willows wants to complete the mission before Hogwarts starts, because it will only be harder to kill Owen when he returns to school. In order to create opportunities for action and make the Shafiq family relax their vigilance, he modified the memories of several members of the thieves organization and threw them to the Aurors as scapegoats, so that the Shafiq family thought the danger had passed.

Then their people lurked in Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron, bookstores and other places where Owen might go, waiting for him to fall into the trap, until today...

"It's a bit troublesome to be targeted by such an organization." Irving sorted out the whole thing in his mind and curled his lips.

"But maybe... it's a bit interesting." He murmured lowly, his eyes slowly turning around in his eye sockets, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He finally added a forgetting spell and a coma spell to Willos, and planned to leave this guy to his parents.

Walking out of the dark and damp hut, Owen took a deep breath and greeted the playing cats and birds to go home. (End of chapter)
