Forced By OAA To Be His Sucessor.

After the group of wizards, not noticing her, passed the shop, the mysterious customer cautiously eyed the shop door to confirm whether the wizards who were chasing the mysterious customer had left.

sigh~

Seeing they had not noticed, the mysterious customer breathed a sigh of relief.

'They left. Now I just need to leave this place without being caught by those bastards...'

And she was about to go out of the shop and run in another direction while formulating a plan in her mind.

uh~

"Welcome to Cauldron & Charm Apothecary."

Before the mysterious customer was about to move, she was stopped by the voice of a man greeting.

thud~

Startled by the voice, the mysterious customer turned around in a hurry and took a few steps back, hitting one of the rows behind her, which contained green-tier herbs in it.

"Careful..."

Seeing the mysterious figure about to fall down due to losing her balance, Leo reacted swiftly and caught the mysterious figure who was about to fall backward.

The hood of the white robe, which seemed to be worn off, fell from the mysterious customer's head.

Which left Leo and the Black sisters who were present in the shop speechless by the sight before them.

In Leo's arms, the mysterious woman with striking beauty looked back at him with her green eyes filled with fear and panic.

"Leave me..."

Snapping out, the woman pushed Leo back, fell to the ground, and hurriedly moved back, covering her face with the hood of the worn-out wizarding robe she was wearing.

"Pure-blood Veela? What is she doing here?"

Filius Flitwick, who had followed behind the muggle family he brought when Bella and her sisters arrived to chat with Leo, came back after hearing the commotion.

Upon seeing a Veela in Leo's hands, he exclaimed in shock, breaking the silence.

'Veela?'

Hearing Flitwick's voice, Leo and the Black sisters snapped out of their shock and eyed the woman before them curiously.

This was the first time Leo had met a pure-blood Veela.

Seeing her panic, he tried to calm her down, but his attempt only escalated the situation.

"Don't come near... If you even take a step forward, I will kill myself."

Seeing the young teen before her intending to come closer, the Veela woman immediately took a small pocket knife from her robe pocket and placed it on her neck, threatening him that she would kill herself if he tried to get closer.

sigh~

'It seems like she has experienced the worst trauma being a Veela... According to my knowledge, pure-blooded Veelas are not treated as equals. They are categorized as magical creatures by the wizarding world... Only half-blood Veelas are accepted in some countries like France... In many places, they are sold in the black market by poachers.'

Looking at the condition and the mental trauma the woman before him had suffered, Leo sighed.

"Calm down, lady... Believe me, we mean no harm. Take a deep breath and calm down... We understand you must have suffered, but now you are in a safe place. Believe us and explain what happened, how you ended up in this situation."

Raising both hands up, Leo slowly began comforting the woman who was panicking, stating that he had no intention of harming her and wanted to help her.

chime~ thud~

"That Veela bitch is here, Victor!"

Suddenly, the door of the Cauldron & Charm Apothecary opened with a loud thud, which made Leo frown.

Hearing what the wizard who entered the shop said, Leo's face turned grim.

The man who entered seemed to be a poacher.

"____"

Seeing that she was found out, the woman panicked and tried to run deeper into the shop to escape from the poacher who had just entered.

"Stupefy!"

With a wave of his wand, the Veela, who was intending to run, was hit by the Stupefy spell cast by the poacher.

This caused her movement to stop, and she fell unconscious.

sigh~

"Come and bind her tightly with the robe that will prevent her aura from leaking."

Seeing that he had succeeded in catching the Veela who had escaped from them, the poacher sighed and instructed his companions, who arrived after hearing his call.

They immediately sprang into action, binding the Veela's hands and feet and enclosing her body with the white robe she was wearing, which seemed to reduce the aura of the Veela.

'Am I going to... I don't want to... Please, somebody help me... Save me from this hell...'

Regaining her consciousness after a few seconds, the Veela looked at the ceiling of the shop in despair.

Her eyes fell on Leo and the others, and she looked at them pleadingly.

cough~ cough~

When the poachers were about to leave the shop, having caught the Veela they were hunting, they were stopped by a deliberate cough from Leo, who was looking at them with a stern expression.

The atmosphere became heavy.

"Where do you think you are taking her?"

With a stern tone, Leo stepped forward to confront them.

"Hey kid, mind your own busi—"

Before the poacher named Victor could finish his sentence as he stepped forward to confront Leo, he was sent flying by a punch straight to the face and landed outside the shop.

"How dare you, kid... You will pay for hurting our companion!"

Seeing Victor being sent flying like a rag doll through the shop's open door, the other poachers' eyes widened in shock.

All of them raised their wands and pointed them at Leo, shouting angrily.

"Shut up..."

Hearing the poachers still intending to fight, Leo shouted in anger, releasing a little of his aura.

thud~ thud~

thud~ thud~

When the poachers felt the aura pressing down on them, they all kneeled under the pressure.

They couldn't breathe, and their bodies started to shiver as if they were in front of a dangerous beast eyeing them like a predator.

'If I make any move, I will die...'

This was the only thought in the poachers' minds as they tried their best to control their emotions.

"____"

"____"

"____"

Even though the aura wasn't directed at the Black sisters or the little Charms professor, they could feel and see the display of power.

The poachers were forced to kneel under the weight of the magic aura, which left them speechless as they looked at Leo in shock.

For Bella, even though she had already seen Leo display his power when he single-handedly killed a group of dark wizards, the sight still left her in awe.

As for Narcissa and Andromeda, even though they had heard the story from their sister, seeing it with their own eyes left them stunned.

Meanwhile, Filius Flitwick looked at the scene with twinkling eyes.

He could clearly see how much control Leo had over his magic, and it excited him.

He wanted to invite Leo to participate in Wizarding Britain's Dunstable Duelling Championship.

"We... we didn't do anything illegal. Why are you stopping us?"

One of the men gathered his courage to speak and tried to explain the situation to Leo.

"____"

When Leo heard the poacher, he turned to look at Bella for an explanation.

sigh~

"Trading Veelas is banned in many countries, but in some, they still continue trading them.

Currently, in the Ministry, the discussion of banning Veela trade is in the final stages and might be implemented at any moment."

Feeling Leo's gaze on her, Bella sighed and explained the current situation of Veelas in Wizarding Britain.

"Yes... didn't you hear her? We are not doing anything illegal. Due to the Ministry's discussion on banning Veela trade, there is a huge demand for Veelas for immediate purchase in the market."

Seeing Bella explain the situation to Leo, the poacher saw hope in clearing the misunderstanding and eagerly continued explaining the market demand for Veelas nowadays.

"____"

Hearing this, Leo became silent.

"Please... save me."

Noticing Leo's silence, the Veela, who was still bound, pleaded for help.

She didn't want to go with them.

Snap~

With a snap of his fingers, lightning generated from Leo's forefinger, which was pointed at the poachers, and struck them.

twitch~ twitch~

Jolted by the lightning, all but one of the poachers fainted, smoke rising from their bodies as they twitched uncontrollably.

"You bring me... to your base."

Seeing that everyone else was incapacitated except for the one he had intentionally spared, Leo asked him in a stern voice, narrowing his eyes.

With a nod, the poacher agreed to take Leo to their base.

"Bella, tie them up."

With a wave of his hand, the poacher whom Leo had punched floated back into the shop.

Leo then instructed Bella to tie them up.

"____"

"Incarcerous!"

Caught off guard by Leo's sudden attack on the poachers, even after hearing their explanation, Bella was silent for a moment before waving her wand and casting the binding spell.

It was a spell that conjured thick ropes or thin cords from "thin air," which bound whatever the caster was pointing their wand at.

After binding the poachers with the rope, including the one who was still conscious, Leo turned to Filius.

"Professor, could you hold them off until I return? Even if Aurors arrive. Since they broke into my shop,"

Leo asked with a smile.

"Sure, Lord Morningstar. I will keep an eye on them, but I request you to come back quickly, as I still need to guide a Muggle family for their shopping,"

Filius replied.

Hearing Leo's request, Filius accepted it, though he reminded Leo to be fast, as he had other responsibilities to attend to.
