He pointed to the imprisoned Arnos Dohorov in front of him and said, "My great master and I can help you gain freedom, and even help you get rid of your werewolf identity - because the master believes that you are still valuable... But as expected, you need to pay a price..."
"I am willing!"
Before he could finish his words, Anos Dokhorov responded excitedly.
"Any price is fine—as long as I have it, I'm willing to pay it!"
This is the natural answer.
And Peter Pettigrew was not surprised.
He ignored Anos's excitement and continued speaking.
"First... my master requires your absolute loyalty this time - I believe an unbreakable oath is the most basic guarantee."
He said so.
"..."
So, of course, Anos Dokhorov showed a conflicted expression.
But he obviously didn't dwell on it for long.
Compared with life, an unbreakable oath is obviously not worth mentioning.
"Secondly, my master wants you to go to Hogwarts in the next school year to do some things for him..."
Peter spoke softly.
"Into Hogwarts?"
But after hearing this, Anos frowned and said, "It's difficult - with Dumbledore here, even if I am the patriarch of the Dohorov family... it's difficult for me to enter Hogwarts."
It was certainly no secret that the ancient castle's defensive magic was formidable.
"Oh no...you can go in, and it's easy."
Peter smiled and said, "My master said that the principals' control over the castle is not complete, and it is not without loopholes."
"how should I do?"
And Anos Dokhorov asked immediately.
"It's simple. All it takes is an ancient soul magic... It came from the Dark Lord, and the master loves it very much."
"But this magic requires some special materials—this is related to the third price you need to pay..."
Peter whispered, "Your family will come to visit you tomorrow. Who do you think will come?"
After hearing this question, Dokhorov was naturally stunned.
"...McCall?"
Then he gave the obvious answer.
In reality, he had no other choice - his wife was already dead, and another member of the Dohorov family, Antonin Dohorov, was imprisoned in Azkaban.
Apart from that, there weren't many Dokhorov family members left, and naturally the only one who would come to visit him would be his son.
"Yes."
Then Pettigrew smiled.
"That's the price."
And the other side.
Ryan naturally didn't know about the dirty things that happened between the pure-blood families and the conspiracies in the Ministry of Magic cells.
For his part, he's just been lamenting lately.
"Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart is such a good man!"
That's right.
Once again, it proves that it takes almost no time for explosive news to spread.
There wasn't even a need to wait until the next day—just when Ryan said goodbye to the Weasleys and Grangers and returned to the Burrow.
I brought back the freshly printed newspaper on Monday.
[Hufflepuff heir bravely captures the fugitive Dark wizard]
[A pure-blood wizard transforms into a werewolf, and the killing curse flashes in Diagon Alley]
Angel or Devil? Unveiling Ryan Elias
Ryan Elias may start a club at Hogwarts next semester to teach the secrets of Hufflepuff magic.
The Dokhorov family patriarch may face life imprisonment in Azkaban.
It's just like when the title 'Heir of Hufflepuff' first became known throughout the wizarding world.
Almost all of the major newspapers in the British wizarding world reported on what happened in Diagon Alley, and all of them were headlines.
As Arthur expected, public opinion was almost overwhelmingly in favor of Dohorov for openly using the Killing Curse on a young wizard in Diagon Alley.
Especially after Mr. Weasley took the wand to the Wand Examination Department as soon as possible and received a complete casting report.
Even Fudge, as the Minister of Magic, obviously couldn't make a fuss about this matter.
Regarding this incident, all major newspapers also unanimously criticized it.
Most of them praised Ryan's bravery in capturing the dark wizards, while believing that Anos Dohorov's behavior was improper and that he might be the umbrella for the dark wizards.
Of course, the only exception is "The Quibbler", which has a style different from other newspapers.
This episode of The Quibbler is titled "The Fool".
The contributor 'Little Moon' expressed his opinion tactfully.
"Lian Elias is a terracotta wizard who has conquered death. Using the Killing Curse against him is obviously pointless. Mr. Dohorov might have been bitten by a confused bug the day before..."
Considering that there is no such magical creature as "Dumbworm" in the wizarding world, the report of "The Quibbler" was ignored as usual.
But, besides this matter.
However, many newspapers also secretly expressed other opinions.
They couldn't say much about Dohorov casting the Killing Curse, but someone pointed it out.
"Elias's behavior is too violent. He can't be called the heir of Hufflepuff at all."
"An insider at the scene revealed that Dokhorov's injury by the werewolf might not have been an accident—Elias orchestrated it all."
"Elias is prejudiced against pure-blood wizards, especially the Dohorov family... Everyone knows what he did in his first year. That was a manifestation of hostility!"
Such reports are as constant as the discussions among the people.
But it's only natural that some people will ask, "If Dohorov was someone who could cast a killing curse on a young wizard, would the great Hufflepuffs allow him to wreak havoc?"
At this time, there are often supporters of pure blood who argue that "anyone who is transformed into a werewolf will lose control of their behavior."
"What's more—see how much has happened since Elias showed up?"
"The Dementors and one of the most dangerous Death Eaters, Sirius Black, have disappeared from Azkaban and have not been found."
"The Department of Mysteries has been attacked and Ministry of Magic items are missing.
"And now—these things are all connected with Elias, aren't they?"
For a time, newspapers and critics throughout the wizarding world were undoubtedly discussing Ryan's name.
The two sides exchanged blows and reached a stalemate.
Anyone with a discerning eye could actually see that most of the newspapers opposing Ryan were the mouthpieces of the pure-blood families.
Just as Ryan expected, the pure-blood families were obviously a little stressed after what happened to Dohorov.
Their criticisms of Ryan were almost pervasive, and some even suspected that all of Ryan's previous "achievements" and "rumors" were false.
But in this case.
The two accidents caused the pure-blood families' war of public opinion to hit a wall.
The first surprise was Gilderoy Lockhart!
[Gilderoy Lockhart is a good friend of Ryan and may be related to this incident]
[Lockhart claims responsibility for this incident - 'Evil will be defeated']
[Lockhart supports the wizarding community and supports Ryan Elias]
Just as Harry said - Lockhart, by chance, attracted a lot of firepower for Ryan.
Especially when people discovered that this famous writer's famous work "Wandering with Werewolves" did show a full understanding of werewolves.
Some people began to suspect that perhaps this famous writer had planned a plan against Anos Dokhorov.
"An adventurer who discovers the darkness of his pure-blood family and teams up with another young genius to fight against it."
What a story worth imagining.
The second surprise was...
"Ryan, look here—look at what those masters of various magical fields have to say about you!"
September 9st is Homecoming Day at Hogwarts.
King's Cross station platform, entrance.
Ron was speaking excitedly in front of Ryan.
At this moment, he was holding a publication in his hand.
There was no pattern on the cover of the book, only a big word on the upper half.
Magic
If you look closely, you'll find that this word is constantly changing—it seems to become a 'magic' word in all languages as people look at it.
In the lower part, there are many lines of densely packed small characters.
