In the days that followed, it was like the world had changed.
There are fewer people in Diagon Alley, and the same goes for Knockturn Alley.
They were all afraid of the return of the Dark Lord.
The second king they relied on couldn't even protect his own shop.
Fear spreads throughout magical society.
Just today, a store in Diagon Alley was attacked.
It's Ollivander's store.
The old man who made wands for many young wizards was forcibly taken away.
The people in Diagon Alley prayed for Gilderoy Lockhart to fight against Voldemort, but unfortunately, Lockhart was currently in America promoting Silverhand products as a spokesperson.
When fear arises, weak people always long for a hero to appear.
And the savior who once appeared in the newspapers became their hero.
John watched the newspapers reporting on the accidents happening everywhere, and he casually put down the flyer with the Dark Mark on it.
"So, someone is spreading this intentionally?"
When you cannot defeat it, someone will spontaneously become a follower.
And these were found in Knockturn Alley.
The person who spread it was a young man who claimed that Voldemort would rule the wizarding world.
John had someone put him in a room, hoping he would stick to his guns.
"Are we not going to take action?" Tang Mi asked. With the power of Silver Hand, it would not be easy to dispel this fear, nor would it be too difficult.
"Show the enemy weakness, Tang Mi."
John was giving Voldemort more leverage, starting with leaving Hogwarts and being bullied.
It is to provide equipment and to build momentum.
Voldemort was like a strong mistress kept by John. He had to earn everything by himself, but in fact everything was given by John.
"My equipment gives him enough confidence," John put his feet on the table and rubbed Riddle's head comfortably, "otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to risk being chased by Aurors and arrest people in broad daylight."
When Basil saw Riddle having his head rubbed, he flew over and glared at Riddle with some disgust.
Instead of looking at each other silently, Riddle jumped to the side so that Basil could come closer.
Two owls, one black and one white, closed their eyes comfortably.
It's a pity that Tom was left at school, otherwise he would have come to join the ranks of having his head touched at this time.
When Tang Mi saw his boss saying this, he just shook his head and let it go.
"There are some actions on the American side." Tang Mi reported on the branch again, "The boss of District 11 was killed, and the second in command took over."
"Oh? It doesn't seem to be a coincidence." John felt relieved about the Americans because those people had instructions planted in their souls.
Now that one of them is dead, the new one has no instructions.
Tang Mi was worried that the other party would take action against the branch.
After all, Death Eaters had attacked before.
"You're right, let Tom have a good time." 33
The two owls on the table tilted their heads, as if they were wondering, what kind of trouble could Tom's dead dog make?
...
America, Johnny Silverhand store branch.
Gilderoy Lockhart was courting the woman in the wheelchair, much to Johnson's dissatisfaction.
"Ms. Nagini needs some rest."
When Lockhart introduced his book to Nagini, Johnson forcefully pushed her out.
Lockhart smiled appropriately and said to Nagini: "Of course, I never meant to disturb the beautiful Lady Nagini's rest."
He bowed gracefully and left, while Johnson watched Lockhart leave behind.
"Don't you admire the strong?" Nagini said, suppressing a smile, "You should read his book, he is an excellent wizard."
"Liar," Johnson said bluntly, "I don't believe that such a weakling would dare to be with a banshee."
"It seems you've seen it all?" Nagini snickered, and Johnson was very depressed after being exposed.
It was because I had seen it that I was disappointed in Lockhart.
How could this weakling be compared to a heroic figure like that in the book?
Johnson was not angry. After pushing Nagini into the room, he went out and continued to stand guard.
The sun is scorching in the sky, and the weather here is not warming up as slowly as in our store.
Johnson saw the new leader of District 11 coming this way.
Beside him, there was a wizard wearing a black robe with his head lowered.
...
Tang Mi's premonition was very accurate. The branch of the American Johnny Silver Hand specialty store was attacked.
In response, John flipped through the book without even raising his eyelids.
"Are Nagini and the others okay?"
"No, but the most valuable magic star wand in the store was taken away."
"oh?"
John chuckled and said: "It seems that Tom is aware of his shortcomings and his wings are gradually becoming fuller."
Tang Mi didn't know what to say. How could anyone train his own opponent and give him various gifts?
The Magic Star Wand is the treasure that John made for Johnny Silverhand's branch. It is a holly wood wand inlaid with philosophy stones.
Johnny Silverhand had expected such a day when he was attacked and looted.
"The biggest good news is that no one was injured," John closed the book and raised his head and said, "Arrange pensions and treatment for the injured."
"Where's the leader of District 11?"
"Kill him."
After hearing Tang Mi's inquiry, John wrote lightly: "Let others take action to deal with all the traitors in District 11."
Tang Mi nodded and left.
Now that Voldemort is here and equipped, there is only one chance to attack Hogwarts.
"First of all, I have to confirm whether the things are still there, and secondly, I have to really leave."
John touched his chin and muttered: "Although it is very unkind, but you are really blind, Pansy."
That's right, Pansy, she's got another problematic boyfriend.
John didn't even know what to say.
Myrtle sees Theodore Nott doing something in the Room of Requirement.
It should be someone who is inside to contact the outside world.
However, although Myrtle can travel through walls, she cannot become invisible.
So John asked a ghost with invisibility skills to follow him, Bloody Barrow.
The ghost of Slytherin agreed to John's request.
Definitely not for the reason John agreed to send Ms. Gray a flower for him.
In addition, Filch and Ms. Pince were monitoring him in the corridors and library.
At the same time, Lucius also investigated the recent events in the Nott family. Theodore's father was a Death Eater and he was captured in Azkaban. Theodore put the blame on John.
In addition, the Nott family did not receive John's promise and reduced sentence like Goyle and Crabbe.
This allowed Theodore to successfully become a traitor after coming into contact with Bellatrix.
In order to make things easier, he took the initiative to find Slughorn to express his friendship, and at the same time he became boyfriend and girlfriend with Pansy.
Malfoy was in trouble, but what he said was true.
"Do you think you can save your father this way?" John shook his head, not knowing whether to call Theodore naive or ignorant of the world.
The promises made by Voldemort were all based on one condition, that is, success.
This condition was destined to be impossible to achieve from the beginning.
John felt sad for it, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't complete it.
"Instead of having this time, it would be better to persuade old Nott."
As a die-hard loyalist to Voldemort, Old Nott was not on John's pardon list.
Even if it weren't for the fact that he was the father of a Slytherin classmate, he could arrange an 'accident' to make all these die-hards die due to a 'mistake' in Azkaban.
It's a pity that John's little sympathy became a weapon used by Voldemort.
John was waiting for one person, two to be precise, and one who was not the one he was waiting for.
But the guy who kept asking for more money seemed to have a good relationship with the other party.
In Silverhand Manor, John saw the person he was waiting for.
Musashi, Gauss.
The two of them have one thing in common, they both love money.
The difference is that Gauss makes any money, while Musashi only takes what he deserves.
Compared with Gauss, the loving wizard who kept saying that he was a peace-loving wizard, Musashi seemed more like him.
"Cool, I never thought my boss would be so young."
John was not wearing a mask, so Gauss couldn't help but whistle, looking at John like a gangster.
John's expression did not change and he said calmly: "If you are younger, you won't be stingy with that little money."
"Okay, I admit that it is." Gauss shrugged, ignoring Musashi's disgusted expression, holding the other person's shoulders and said enthusiastically, "Let's talk about it first, these are my beloved relatives, friends, and brothers."
Gauss said in a deep voice: "We have to pay more."
"I just wanted him to be a tour guide, but I didn't say I wanted to kill him." John looked at Gauss playing tricks there with a speechless expression, and said calmly, "But I never bargain in this regard, are you right?"
"I believe this." Musashi responded, "I will be responsible for taking you there."
"Then make the deal."
John chuckled and shook hands with Musashi.
This wizard from the East also had a smile on his face.
"I think we should find another way to travel."
John smiled and said, "I hope none of you get seasick."
Gauss immediately said: "I love taking a boat so much, I shouldn't have to spend my own money, right?"
...
Some people died, but not completely...
