Hogwarts becomes host

120. Trip to Diagon Alley (3)



Music doesn't appeal to everyone, and neither does the name Shafiq.

Even though he is one of the 28 purebloods, the Shafik family completely withdrew from the Ministry of Magic 80 years ago. No one teaches at Hogwarts, and the whole family is closed in the castle to conduct research.

Although a large amount of wealth was collected using Floo powder, the entire transaction was handled by elves or agents. No one knew that the Floo powder belonged to the Shafiq family, so the Shafiq family's presence in the magical world was very important. Low.

At most, most people know that this is a pure-blood family, and the inheritance is music and magic, and then it disappears.

What really aroused everyone's interest was that in the transmission, Adair called Voldemort by his first name and announced that he had failed in the duel with Voldemort.

Voldemort has been wreaking havoc in the wizarding world for so many years. Except for Dumbledore, few people dared to confront him head-on. Wizards were so afraid that they didn't even dare to say his name. That's why Adair's public announcement of a duel with Voldemort was so eye-catching. The first loser who can speak.

As for the issue of lying, no one in the British wizarding world dares to make a name for Voldemort or make fun of him. Voldemort crushed the spines of most wizards with his killings, which is a fear that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Perhaps the future Iron Triangle, the Weasley twins, and Dumbledore's Army will dare to laugh at the Death Eaters and Voldemort, but most of these people are born in the 80s who have never experienced the reign of terror. To put it simply, they are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers.

Therefore, Adair managed to get 80% of the wizards in Diagon Alley to listen to him with full attention in just three sentences.

The crowd in the bookstore was a little anxious. Lucius Malfoy suddenly turned his head to look at Elaine, but Elaine ignored him and walked out of the bookstore on her own. Ron, Hermione, Harry and Daphne also followed curiously. behind her.

Passers-by on the street stared at the sky with their mouths wide open. A figure in a black cloak stood in the middle of the road holding a wand high. The music was emanating from him.

At the same time, there was an obvious illusion above his wand - a snake emerging from the skull, confronting a bird. It was the Dark Mark and the emblem of the Shafiq family. The bird and the snake were fighting each other. .

This was orthodox musical illusion magic. Lucius Malfoy glanced at Elaine a few more times. He looked anxious, and Draco nervously grabbed his father's robe.

"That guy" Elaine didn't know what to say.

"On this day, twelve years ago, Death Eaters came to Shafiq Castle, and the Shafiq family almost died."

Many people walked out of the store, and the streets became more and more crowded, but people consciously left space around the cloaked man, and no one wanted to stop him.

In the wizarding world, casting spells on the street is not a strange thing, as long as you are over seventeen years old and it is not black magic or destructive magic.

"Voldemort and his lackeys used various horrific methods to harm us in the past. They coerced, manipulated, killed, and tortured these murderers to come to our home, to Shafiq Castle, and used black magic to attack--even me. Even my daughter who was just a few months old was not spared.”

The crowd winced when Voldemort's name was mentioned again.

The cloaked man's face was covered by a hood, but people could still hear the pain, sadness and anger in his tone.

"My father, mother, relatives, and wife all died at the hands of those insane black magics."

"Although I killed the murderer, they will never survive again. Who caused all this? Is it Voldemort?"

After the cheerful prelude ends, the melody becomes low and gentle, not interfering with Adair's speech.

Elaine frowned. The blood of the Shafiq family made her feel that something was wrong.

There is magic in the voice, what does Adair want to do?

"You said that man has been defeated by Harry Potter, and the blood revenge of the Shafiq family has been avenged."

"But it was not Voldemort who killed my family, it was his lackeys."

"If Voldemort only had one person and one wand, the Ministry of Magic would not be in a hurry, and the Auror Office would not suffer heavy casualties."

"Did your family, friends, and loved ones die at the hands of Voldemort?"

Due to her height, Elaine saw many people in the crowd secretly clenching their fists, which was not good.

Daphne covered her ears tightly. She kept shaking, as if she heard some horrible voices. Hermione worriedly supported her.

"It is the Death Eaters and his followers who are causing tragedies and killings everywhere."

"These murderers use the Unforgivable Curse and black magic to kill people for fun. They are as guilty as Voldemort, but they were not defeated by Harry Potter or caught by the Ministry of Magic. They pretended to be controlled by the Imperius Curse and used sophistry and Galleons to escape. Passed the punishment”

"The Ministry of Magic said that we don't know who is controlled and who is willing, and we cannot wrongly accuse innocent people. I can understand their incompetence. After all, there are too many ways to hide a person's true identity. I have also tortured Death Eaters, and in the heart of the heart Under the curse, they confessed that only Voldemort knew the names of all the Death Eaters."

After more than half of the slow and steady melody, the music seemed to be reaching its climax; as he spoke, the melody slowly increased, Adair chuckled, and the crazy laughter reached everyone's ears.

"However, before Voldemort killed me, I successfully got the list of Death Eaters from him."

"I know who they are"

"I know who is innocent, who is manipulated, and who willingly surrenders to the forces of darkness."

The whole Diagon Alley roared, and the noise became louder and louder, but Adair's voice was still clearly audible.

"Voldemort thought that all pure-blood wizards would join his camp. After he defeated me, he tried to recruit me because I was a pure-blood Shafiq. I deliberately tricked him and pretended to agree to him, using Shafiq's inheritance and He swapped Death Eater lists."

"He told me many names without caring. Maybe this list is not all, but at least most of them, and a large number of people have never entered Azkaban. He is arrogant and arrogant. He thinks that death can seal my mouth. , but didn’t know that the Shafiq family’s background could save a person’s life.”

"So, here, I'm going to--"

"Avada Kedavra"

A green light suddenly shot out from nowhere, and in full view of everyone, it hit the cloaked man who was announcing in the middle of the street. His body stiffened for an instant, and then fell to the ground softly.

The crowd exclaimed and screamed, Daphne grabbed Hermione's arm forcefully, and Hermione looked at Elaine nervously, but Elaine's heart showed no fluctuation, and she even wanted to laugh a little.

Adair was dead long ago, and so was the cloaked man. How could the Death Curse be useful to the dead?

And this is basically an assist, right? Regardless of whether Adair dies or not, sealing his mouth with a life-killing curse so nervously will make people feel guilty. This is what the saying that there is no three hundred taels of silver here means. I don’t know which brainless death-eating person it is. Adair was probably going to die laughing when he came to show off his disciples.

No, maybe he directed and acted.

Sure enough, the music showed no signs of stopping, and the two illusions above did not disappear. The crowd was commotion for a while and then stopped. Everyone stared blankly at the cloaked man who fell to the ground. He slowly stood up and raised his head. hood on.

Screams rang out, and it was a face that was tortured and looked like a human being or a ghost.

Burns, cuts, deformities, discoloration, distortions, and all kinds of grotesque combinations formed a terrifying face. If it hadn't still retained two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, no one would think it was a human face.

"I knew someone wanted to kill me to silence me." Adair's voice sounded again, "Unfortunately, I made a deal with the God of Death and paid a price you can't imagine. Before the enemies of the Shafiq family died, , I will suffer a lot of pain and live half-dead like this."

"revenge"

The song reached its climax, and the cloaked man opened his hands widely. Along with the music, the bird illusion emitted a strong white light, and the Dark Mark completely disappeared. Adair shouted loudly amidst the layered melody.

"The Death Eaters took my life, my fortune and my future. They are the ones who made me like this."

"Infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and escaped punishment. They committed all kinds of evil, but did not receive the retribution they deserve. They enjoyed the wealth they obtained with black magic, recalled the killings in the past, laughed at our sorrow and pain, and used this to continue. liquor"

Although she knew Adair was talking nonsense, looking at the miserable condition of the walking corpse and the emotional speech, Elaine almost believed these words.

Even Elaine is like this, as can be imagined by others.

"Carlo, Dolohov, Malfoy, Nott, Lestrange, MacNeil, Avery, Crouch, Crabbe, Goyle, Travers"

Each accent corresponds to a name, and Adair declares in a strong rhythm.

"Some of these people were caught and some were killed, but most of them escaped justice. They even lived a comfortable life by relying on the blood-stained galleons for plundering the victims' property."

"Since the law cannot punish them, let me take revenge with my own hands, in the name of the Shafiq family, in the name of my dead wife, father, mother, and all the victims who died under black magic."

"Draw out the wand and execute justice"

With a bang, a battle must have broken out somewhere, and Elaine woke up suddenly.

She didn't expect that Adair would use this method. He didn't do it himself, but incited others to attack.

Most of the people on the street had their wands drawn, including Mrs. Weasley.

Her expression was blank, her eyes were empty, and although there were obvious tears on her cheeks, she now only had a stiff expression; she took out her wand and pointed it at Lucius Malfoy aside, while several passers-by also made the same move. Five or six wands were pointed at Lucius and Draco.

Draco seemed to be frightened, while Lucius looked gloomy. He also had a wand in his hand.

The battle is about to break out, but you don't know which side will attack first.

Ron looked at his mother in surprise. The Weasley twins also took out their wands. Percy pulled Ron and Ginny behind him. Ginny was so frightened that she grabbed Harry's clothes. Hermione looked solemn and Daphne held tightly. Covering his ears.

"Kill all those Death Eaters and let them know our anger and pain"

Adair's voice sounded again, and Elaine felt it this time, and there was magic power in the voice.

This is hypnotic magic. He is confusing the masses and creating conflicts.

"That's enough, wake up." Elaine hesitated, and finally gritted her teeth and took Mrs. Weasley's wand-holding hand. "Don't listen to that guy's instigation, wake up quickly"

If Adair killed Lucius himself, she would have nothing to say; if Mrs. Weasley thought of her dead brother and was moved by Adair's words and wanted to kill Lucius, she would not do it either. .

But the problem is that Mrs. Weasley is obviously controlled by magic. This is not her intention.

Even if it makes Adair angry again, she admits it, but she can't stand it.

Don't choose anyone to manipulate Mrs. Weasley. Please, how will she face the Weasley family and Dumbledore in the future?

The explosion sounded again, mixed with screams, and the street ground vibrated again, and another place was handed over, but Elaine couldn't control it, and the situation here was not going anywhere.

"Revenge, for your dead family and dead friends, attack them."

Mrs. Weasley showed no reaction, and the magic power was still slowly gathering at the tip of the wand. No matter how hard Elaine shook it, she could not regain her consciousness.

She had to find a way to block the hypnotic effect. Elaine tried to use music magic, but she found that she could not use magic power because Adair was interfering with her.

Do we need to use physical means to stop these hypnotized people?

At this time, some people also noticed something was wrong. Some people tried to rush towards Adair, but were stopped by others.

Even if they could really rush over, it would be useless. The cloaked man in the middle of the street was just a zombie puppet, and Adair only controlled him to make movements and move his mouth.

In fact, the speech just made was part of the music and was recorded in advance. Otherwise, Adair would have stripped away his emotions, and how could he have given such an emotional speech.

As for how to give a speech, it is very simple. Use black magic to torture the death row prisoners, force them to read emotionally according to the script, record the sound and then combine it with the music. This method is based on Adair, who has watched hundreds of movies in the original world. Ideas derived from animation.

"Don't hesitate, think about what those people did. This is justice. Since the Ministry of Magic cannot give us justice, then we will use our own wands to execute it."

Adair's voice sounded again, and he seemed to have strengthened the magic output of the confusion magic. Elaine could feel that the live broadcast room was continuously providing magic power to support Adair, which made her want to curse, without even looking at what this guy was doing. What, this kind of thing is also supported

A group of guys who are helping others to do evil. Those who die are not people from their own world, so they don’t care about the consequences.

The tip of Mrs. Weasley's wand began to glow. Lucius Malfoy tensed up and prepared to fight. He was too curious about Adair's speech, so he lost the best opportunity to disembark. Someone took advantage of him when he wasn't paying attention. , hit him with the Anti-Apparition Curse

Don't think that he would sit still and wait for death. He glanced at Elaine, but Elaine was too lazy to pay attention to him. If she wanted to hold him hostage, she had to find a way to use her hands free.

"Shut up!" Just as Elaine was desperately preparing to wake up Mrs. Weasley physically, a loud shout sounded, "Stop it!"

It was not an ordinary scolding, but a huge sound inspired by magic. It rumbled and echoed in the underground streets, and the ground also vibrated, as if there was a slight earthquake.

Something swept over the body, and the blank eyes of many people returned to clarity, including Mrs. Weasley. They put down their raised wands in confusion, as if they were very surprised as to why they did this.

Elaine looked around, she was curious, who broke Adair's hypnotic magic in an instant

She looked towards the middle of the road. In front of the cloaked man, a middle-aged man with a cane was standing against him.

He has long, dark gray hair like a mane, and wears a shabby traveling cloak. His body is full of evil aura and rushing magic.

He raised his cane again and struck the ground hard.

With a bang, the ground vibrated again, and strong magic wave spread rapidly along the street. Everyone present had to accept this magic shock as long as their feet were still on the ground.

There was another shaking, but this also made people's heads clearer.

"Ah, the famous Crazy Eyes Mu Enemy." Adair's calm voice still sounded in everyone's ears. The hypnotic magic was lifted, but the amplification magic was not eliminated, so people could still hear Adair's voice. "Haven't you retired from Auror?"
