Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

The next moment, Ryan just waved his hand lightly.

Then, Caractacus Bock saw that his spell was clearly shattered.

At the same time, Ryan looked at Karaktacus Bock with a little surprise.

There was no doubt that the other party had used a good repulsive spell just now - silent and wandless, and the effect of the spell was quite good.

The old man in front of me is a wizard of very high level.

and...

"You said 'another' one. Looks like I came to the right place."

He chuckled and said to Caractacus Burke, "Sir, tell me where is Harry?"

"Lian Elias?"

At this moment, Caractacus Burke obviously recognized who Ryan was - black hair, blue eyes, white cat, and incredible level of spells. There would be no other little wizard like him.

So, Caractacus Bok retreated.

"I don't know where Harry Potter went - he was definitely here a while ago, but then disappeared down an alley."

"Oh, sir."

But Ryan obviously didn't believe it: "I find it hard to believe what you said - Harry has been quite diligent in magic recently, but to escape from a wizard like you... well, it's unlikely!"

"I didn't mean to catch him at all. I didn't want to get into trouble!"

"And he did disappear, I kid you not—he can Apparate!"

Caractacus Burke said unhappily.

"That sounds even more ridiculous, sir."

Seeing the other party's lack of cooperation, Ryan shook his head helplessly.

"I see you're also a businessman. If you're so stubborn, your business won't be easy."

As he spoke, he held out his hand to Caractacus Bok.

"Collapse!"

The burst of magic spell made Caractacus Burke's face change suddenly - because at this moment, the coma spell activated by the little wizard in front of him was almost as thick as the arms of three or four adults!

That meant its power far surpassed even the spells cast by most adult wizards at their full strength!

"Damn it!"

Then Caractacus Boke gritted his teeth and cursed.

He pulled out the wand hidden in the secret cabinet and fired a spell to fight against Ryan.

The two spells kept intertwining in the air, and the huge magic power swept up the goods in the entire store, causing the cabinets and chairs to fall all over the place - all kinds of black magic items fell to the ground, revealing even more evil magic!

"It's clear that what you're selling isn't very legal, sir."

After seeing those evil black magic items, especially the opal necklace, Ryan's expression became even colder.

He realized that Harry seemed to have been teleported to a very dangerous place.

But it was at this time...

"Black Arrow Crushing Bones! (Nigrosagitta)"

He saw Karaktacus Bock, who was clearly at a disadvantage, growling.

The next moment, pitch-black feather arrows appeared at the tip of his wand and flew towards Ryan.

Then, Ryan's expression suddenly changed.

It's not just because of the danger and obvious dark magic attributes of this magic, the more important thing is that he recognizes this magic.

"Voldemort..."

That's right.

He had seen Voldemort use this dark magic before during the duel in the Forbidden Forest.

These feather arrows contain strong curses and are extremely powerful.

He had assumed that this magic was Voldemort's own invention—which was normal.

But now it seems that is not the case!

so...

"Abundance incarnate."

Ryan calmly activated the power of the Seed of Plenty.

The glow of the guardian tree burst out from his body.

And those countless pitch-black feather arrows disappeared in an instant like shadows in the sun.

at the same time...

"Star Soul Incarnation!"

Ravenclaw's soul magic then began to work.

Then, Caractacus Boke felt his mind become blurred the next moment.

His soul seemed to be pinched, making him confused and tired.

His eyes subconsciously looked at Ryan, and the latter's eyes happened to be looking at him at this moment.

Then...

Caractacus Bock felt as if something was extra in his head.

"Legilitivism!?"

He realized this and subconsciously wanted to activate his brain-blocking spell.

But obviously, it was too late.

"Take a rest, sir."

"I won't believe what you say. I have to confirm it myself."

Following these words, Caractacus Bok's consciousness became clouded.

At the same time, Ryan began to watch the memories of the old wizard in front of him.

So Ryan saw his life story.

Caractacus Bok.

The owner of Borgin and Burke's, the largest shop in Knockturn Alley.

Ryan saw his past - a terrible family background, a pretty good talent for spells, and an interest in studying black magic and magical items.

All of this made Caractacus Burke a famous dark wizard in his youth - his achievements in the dark arts were enough to be called a master, and he had already gained a reputation even during the era when Grindelwald was active.

But as he grew older, and the direction of the entire wizarding world changed - Grindelwald was defeated, order became the mainstream, and dark magic was despised.

So, Caractacus Burke opened Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley.

He comes into contact with various dangerous black magic props, various dangerous black wizards and some unspeakable secrets.

Among them were members of pure-blood families and some officials from the Ministry of Magic...

Then, Ryan saw a person in his memory.

He was a young wizard with extraordinary talent.

"Ah... hello, Tom."

Ryan murmured softly.

That's right.

He knew who it was—Tom Marvolo Riddle, Voldemort!

In Caractacus Burke's memory, Voldemort was clearly still young and immature.

He still has a nose and hair, and his appearance is relatively normal.

He applied for a job at Bogin and Boggin's and became a clerk there.

And in memory, Caractacus Burke once asked Tom.

"I've heard of you, Tom Riddle—you're the most outstanding graduate of Hogwarts in recent decades. I heard that the Ministry of Magic tried to recruit you when you just graduated... Why did you come to me?"

"I want to learn more, Mr. Burke."

At that time, there was already a hint of madness in Tom's voice.

"I heard that you are very good at curse and soul-related black magic, and I would like to learn them from you."

"Also, I heard that some noble wizards often appear here. They have many ancient treasures... I am very curious about these things."

"You don't have to worry about me being a threat to you. On the contrary, I'm definitely qualified to be a shop assistant... You know, I have quite a few 'friends' in pure-blood families."

He obviously had ulterior motives.

But Caractacus Burke eventually accepted him—because Tom was indeed good enough.

And just as he said.

He performed very well in this position and never made any mistakes.

In fact, according to Caractacus Bock, except for the curse and soul-related black magic that he was best at, Tom's attainments in almost all black magic were more profound than his master of black magic.

In the end, Tom stayed in the store for two years.

Until one day, an old customer of Boginbock's store showed up.

Her name was Hepzibah Smith, and she was a wealthy witch.

In her hands were two extremely precious collections - Hufflepuff's gold cup and Slytherin's locket.

She showed off her collection at Borgin and Burke's, and in Caractacus Burke's memory, Ryan clearly saw Tom's sharp eyes at that time.

Not long after, Hepzibah Smith died unexpectedly - murdered by her house-elf 'Heqi'.

Not long after, Tom Riddle resigned from Borgin and Burke's.
