Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

On the empty street of Diagon Alley, Malfoy and Narcissa walked side by side. Because of what happened just now, both of them were in a bad mood. They had gloomy faces the whole time, thinking about their own things.

But they did not choose to go back in a hurry. It seemed that they would rather spend time aimlessly in Diagon Alley than going home.

Narcissa looked at her silent son, trying to find some topics to break the awkward situation, but she didn't know what to say. Finally, she looked around and asked:

"Draco, would you like some ice cream?"

"Who wants to eat that?" Malfoy said impatiently.

He subconsciously glanced at the Florin Fosco cold drink shop next to him, but his eyes stayed on a shop with a closed door and no sign.

Through the clean window, you can see a well-dressed house-elf busy organizing the shelves inside.

A well-dressed house-elf...Malfoy couldn't help but sneer. It was the first time he saw such a strange situation.

This feeling is like seeing a troll not only take a bath, but also wear a diaper. It is unheard of.

However, when he mentioned the weird house-elf, he subconsciously thought of Dobby who betrayed the Malfoy family, and his already bad mood became even more furious.

"How boring! What kind of store is this!"

"I don't know." Narcissa shook her head, "But this position should have something to do with the Black family. I remember Mrs. Black mentioned it at the beginning."

The Mrs. Black that Narcissa mentioned is the portrait of the "screaming witch" in number twelve, Grimmauld Place, and she is also Sirius' mother.

The Screaming Witch was a nickname given to her by Ginny because the portrait could not speak properly and when it opened its mouth it would scream loud enough to pierce the eardrums.

"Black..." Malfoy said with disgust, "That dirty big fugitive dog?"

"Probably not." Narcissa thought for a moment, "The property here has been divided up, and the ownership should belong to Merryflen."

To be honest, although she was also of Black descent, she had not paid much attention to the affairs of the Black family since she married Lucius, and had no interest in the division of their property.

After all, although the Black family has a deep foundation, the number of Galleons is far less than that of the Malfoy family, especially after one of the Black ancestors spent a large amount of Galleons to exchange for an Order of Merlin medal to show off, it is even more incomparable.

Hearing that it had nothing to do with Sirius, Draco Malfoy's expression improved a little.

"Do you want to go take a look?" Narcissa asked, "But it looks like this place is not open yet."

"So what?" Malfoy's face darkened again. "We are Death Eaters. Do we care about these things?"

"Don't be like this, Draco." Narcissa's voice trembled slightly, as if she had heard something terrible. "You...you can't think like this. You still have a chance."

"Opportunity?" Malfoy felt annoyed. "What does it matter what I think? Who cares!"

Without further hesitation, he turned and walked towards the store.

"boom!"

Because he was walking too fast, Malfoy didn't pay attention and bumped into another person.

"Damn it, you..." He raised his head, and the curse that was about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped. He said coldly: "It's you, you followed us... Are you trying to take credit for us?"

"I've had countless opportunities to do so if I wanted to," Snape said with the same deadpan expression.

"Severus!" Narcissa walked over quickly, "You..."

But before she could say anything, she was pulled away by the angry Malfoy. She could only look back repeatedly and look pleadingly at Snape who was getting farther and farther away behind her.

Snape said nothing, just stood there.

He slowly opened his hands only after the two of them completely disappeared around the corner.

In the palm of his hand was something that looked like an ear and a piece of torn parchment.

He had just found an opportunity to throw the retractable ear into Malfoy's pocket. Through the conversation between the two along the way, he was basically certain that both Malfoy and Narcissa had lost part of their memory.

Probably, it was after Malfoy got angry and embarrassed.

Because from the conversation between the two, they had no idea that the previous meeting between the three had been discovered by someone.

Without a doubt, the Oblivion Spell.

This also confirms that the people who followed Malfoy before were not Death Eaters. Being able to successfully use the Oblivion Charm on two people means that they can be subdued.

If they were Death Eaters, there would be no reason to do this. It would be more like a Death Eater to replace the Oblivion Curse with the Cruciatus Curse, or just use the Stunning Curse to capture the two and take them to see the Dark Lord.

And speaking of the Oblivion Spell...

Snape looked at the retractable ear in his hand with a gloomy expression.

Coincidentally, he just happened to know someone who was not only good at using the Oblivion Charm, but also had a close connection with the Weasley brothers who sold retractable ears.

More importantly... Snape took a look at the half piece of parchment, turned around without hesitation, and pushed open the door of the shop behind him.

With a thud, the door hit the wall hard, almost shattering the glass next to it.

Dobby, who was busy, was startled.

"I'm sorry, sir, this place is not open yet..."

"Call him out!" Snape said coldly.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Dobby looked at him in confusion.

"Don't make me say it a third time!" Snape stepped forward, "Let him out, now, right now!"

"Professor, Dobby really doesn't know. You'd better not embarrass him."

Even though he had expected it, Snape's blood pressure still rose when he heard the familiar voice behind him.

"Kyle!" he turned around and said through gritted teeth.

"What did you say? I don't understand." Kyle waved his hand.

At his signal, Dobby immediately ran out and closed the door.

Snape waved his hand, and something seemed to loom over the room.

"Here!" He pulled out a piece of parchment and slammed it hard on the brand new counter.

"I found this in Malfoy's pocket, don't tell me it has nothing to do with you."

There was a line of words on the parchment: [Sniff Boutique Shop: Search for all valuable treasures]

There is also a pattern of six magic wands at the top.

"This should be torn from a store flyer." Kyle glanced at it and said, "Why, Professor Snape, is there anything you want to buy? If you don't mind, I can help you."

"Do you think I know nothing?" Snape took a step forward, pointed at the pattern on the parchment and said, "This is your logo, the little things you six people sell in school all have this.

"I know it was you who followed Malfoy, and it was you who wiped his memory and put this in his pocket."

"Why would I do that?" Kyle spread his hands and said, "Give him a store flyer, a small piece that was torn off."

"Emphasis on memory." Snape sneered, "There are traces of magic on it. When using the Oblivion Charm, do something to make it flash back to certain fragments when seeing the corresponding words or patterns."

Kyle narrowed his eyes.

"What? You want to deny it? You think I don't know?" Snape seemed very satisfied with Kyle's reaction.

"If I'm not mistaken, after you open this store, this pattern will appear in a prominent position. When Draco sees it, this arrangement will take effect and he will walk in subconsciously.

"His behavior just now was probably because of you... I don't think he's in the mood to buy anything right now."

"What is your purpose?" Snape stared at Kyle.

"Professor, maybe you are too suspicious." Kyle threw the parchment aside. "I admit that I was the one who followed Malfoy, and I cast the Oblivion Charm on them in Knockturn Alley, but I did it just to save them, nothing more, and I didn't have any other thoughts."

"Save Draco?" Snape almost laughed, "Do you think everyone is stupid?"

"I never said that." Kyle shrugged. "And Professor, you should know better than me how terrifying the mysterious man is. Only if you don't know anything can you avoid being discovered by him."

Snape said nothing, just stared at him coldly.

"And you think so, too."

Kyle continued, "To put it bluntly, the reason why Ms. Narcissa brought Malfoy here was to let him persuade you as a godson. Unfortunately, Narcissa ignored Malfoy's character, which led to your unpleasant parting."

"I know, Professor, you must want to help... You want them to go find Professor Dumbledore, right?"

"You don't need to meddle in other people's business." Snape said in a deep voice, "You'd better keep this matter to yourself, otherwise, I will personally shut you up."

"As if the You-Know-Who would believe what I said." Kyle couldn't help laughing. "If Harry and I were standing on both sides at the same time, I guess he would point his wand at me first without hesitation."

"You think too highly of yourself." Snape sneered.

Kyle laughed too.

He really didn't think highly of himself. Before, Voldemort might have wanted to kill Harry, the savior who had defeated him once, but that might not be the case after he saw the basilisk.

Voldemort, who had controlled the basilisk once, had already regarded it as a symbol of his Slytherin heir. However, he never expected that his most important identity would be snatched away by Kyle just after his resurrection.

At that time, Voldemort was so angry that he almost exploded.

It is hard to say which one Voldemort values ​​more, the identity of Slytherin's heir or a failure.

However, Kyle did not explain, but said calmly: "Professor, I was trying to help you, to save your godson's life. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you accusing me of this?"

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"I think you will," Kyle said, "and to be honest, even if you don't believe me, what can you do? Kill me?"

Faced with Kyle's almost provocative words, Snape's face turned red instantly and he swung the wand in his hand violently.

In front of Kyle, a silver shield flashed slightly, and then bounced the spell onto the shelf next to him.

The newly purchased shelves were blown to pieces.

"That's an ebony shelf, Professor. Remember to compensate me one hundred and fifty Galleons later." Kyle said calmly.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Snape laughed angrily, "One hundred and fifty Galleons, I can fill this whole room with ebony."

"The shelves are secondary, but the royal vine pods on them are valuable." Kyle pointed to the broken fruits on the ground, "There are sixteen broken ones in total, each one is ten Galleons. Charging you one hundred and fifty is already a preferential price."

A vein throbbed on Snape's forehead.

In addition to Kyle's attitude, what made him even more uncomfortable was that he seemed to have no way to deal with the other party. Although it was just a tentative disarming spell, Kyle's armor spell did not move at all, and he looked very relaxed. This meant that even more powerful magic would probably not work.

In addition, there is also the opponent’s battle record in the past few days.

Even if Snape didn't want to, he had to admit that Kyle's strength was now comparable to his... Anyway, he would never admit that Kyle was stronger, absolutely not!

"Tell me your purpose!" Snape calmed down and asked again.

"I told you, I just want to help you, that's all," Kyle said.

Snape said nothing more, took a deep breath, turned and left.

"Remember to pay the money, Professor." Kyle reminded from behind: "Otherwise I will let Kanna ask you for it. In a sense, this is also her property."

Snape paused, a puff of black smoke came out of his body, and his greasy hair seemed to be on fire.

Fortunately, he is not a Silent One, otherwise, the Silent One might have exploded right away.

Kyle was on high alert, ready to meet the approaching Shenfeng Wuying, but what he didn't expect was that Snape didn't stop or even say anything. He just quickened his pace and pulled the door open with force.

"The door is also quite expensive..." Kyle said at the right time: "If it is damaged, you have to pay ten Galleons. If the glass is broken, you have to pay five Galleons!"

Snape stopped slamming the door, walked out without looking back, and disappeared in a few seconds.

Kyle looked at his back and felt so happy.

Not to mention, it's more interesting than teasing Snape. Seeing him so helpless and furious is even more enjoyable than drinking a whole bottle of joy potion.

It's just that this behavior is too dangerous, and if he's not careful he might end up 'holding his head with his hands'. If he hadn't learned a new armor spell, he wouldn't dare to try it easily.

Kyle picked up the magic wand and waved it, and the damaged shelves immediately returned to their original state, and all the things scattered on the ground floated back to their original positions.

As for the royal vine pod that was accidentally broken, a simple recovery spell was useless, so Kyle really didn't deliberately trick Snape.

That is to say, the disarming spell he used just now, if he had replaced it with a blasting spell, the compensation would have been even greater. After all, the giant vine pods were already the cheapest item on that shelf.

Kyle looked outside the door again, moved his fingers, and the parchment he had thrown away earlier slowly flew back into his hand.

Kyle was slightly absent-minded as he looked at the contents above.

Before this, he had never thought that Snape would come to him, let alone that the other party would guess his plan in such a short time.

There must be a reason why he was able to hide from Voldemort for so long.

Kyle glanced at the parchment.

Snape was right. The content above was equivalent to an anchor point in Malfoy's memory. As long as he saw it, some erased fragments would subconsciously flash through his mind, greatly increasing the possibility of him coming here.

Kyle also deliberately made this thing into the style of a flyer. Even if it was discovered, other people would only think that Malfoy did not throw it away cleanly and left it there accidentally, and would not suspect anything else.

Who would doubt that there is something wrong with a leaflet...

But this thing was taken away by Snape halfway, so it became useless.

Kyle sighed, and a flame ignited the parchment.

Now that Malfoy has left Diagon Alley, it is definitely impossible to put a new one there. But it doesn't matter. Judging from Malfoy's performance just now, he already has an impression of this place.

It's like growing a mandrake. Although fertilizer cannot shorten the time, it will eventually break through the soil and sprout. You just have to wait a few more days.

However, Kyle did not want to tell Snape this, not because he was worried that he would do something bad, but because he was worried that he might be held back by Malfoy.

After all, Malfoy has fully demonstrated his potential to be a bad teammate. It would be safer for the two of them to act separately, not only for Snape, but also for Malfoy as it would reduce the possibility of him being exposed.

It is safest if no one, including himself, knows about it.

At this time, Dobby poked his head in from outside and asked cautiously, "Sir, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Kyle said, "If you meet someone like this next time, don't be polite, just kick him out."

"Dobby knows." The house-elf puffed out his chest and looked ready to fight.
