Hogwarts in the shadows

Slytherin and Gryffindor girls are not that brave.

There are a few Hufflepuffs, but not many.

The craziest ones are the girls from Ravenclaw.

They almost lined up in front of Hephis, wanting to attend the Christmas party with him.

Faced with these sincere invitations, Hefeth could only decline with a smile again and again.

In the end, these girls even regarded him as "BOSS".

Solo brushing, group brushing, and rotation brushing.

This made Hephis laugh and cry.

He had to tie Hermione to his side before things got better.

Murphys has been living in his daily life for three days.

He also basically understood the situation of the Japanese wizarding world.

His current name is Inoue Nanajiro, and he is a junior clerk at the Japanese Magic Education Department.

Although he is just a small clerk, Inoue Shichijiro is the younger brother of the wife of the Minister of Magic.

His interpersonal status in the Department of Magical Education is equivalent to that of the Director, and he has access to the Minister of Magic at any time.

Today he was waiting for his children to finish school as usual.

His child, Shinichi Inoue, who is eight years old, goes to the magic school’s preparatory class every day.

Because he was not yet eleven years old and was not in a boarding school, he could only ride a huge storm seabird to and from school.

Soon a huge storm seabird appeared, with a dozen children of different ages sitting on its back.

Inoue jumped nimbly from the back of the Storm Bird.

He performed a standard bow meticulously and said respectfully, "Father."

Nanashiro nodded calmly to the people he knew around him, then took Shinichi into the car.

"How's the investigation going?" Morpheus asked expressionlessly.

"No." Theodore, who was disguised as Shinichi, had helplessness written all over his young face.

"Shinichi's age and identity are the biggest problems. If I try to leave the teaching area, I will be immediately noticed and brought back."

Morpheus heard this and said, "If it really doesn't work, then just implement Plan A."

Theodore frowned, "But doing that won't achieve the goal of striking at the forces behind them."

He still clearly remembered the conversation he had with Hephis and Hermione before being sent here.

Hephis's plan is very simple and crude, which is now Plan A.

The Japanese school of magic and sorcery, located on top of Iwo Jima.

Use the active volcanoes on Iwo Jima to make them erupt collectively.

No matter how powerful the magic defense is, it is difficult to withstand such a horrific natural disaster.

As for the Minister of Magic of Japan, just let him go to meet the God of Death.

Of course, Theodore was prepared to carry out Hephaestus' orders unconditionally.

But Hermione objected to this.

Hermione put down the relevant information about the Japanese wizarding world and complained directly.

"Hephis, your plan is simply too crude. You can vent your anger, but that's all you can do."

Both Hephis and Theodore listened attentively to see what Hermione had to say.

Hermione waved her wand lightly, and several pieces of paper immediately jumped out from the pile of information and floated in the air.

She pointed to the circles she had drawn and said, "Look carefully at these places."

Theodore was still confused after reading it, as it was just some ordinary missing persons records.

It’s just a little more, but there are many such records in the UK!

Hephis realized something, his eyes lit up, "You mean..."

"I did a simple calculation and then arranged the time."

Hermione took out another blank piece of parchment and drew a strange-looking insect pattern on it, and also drew a small circle not far away from it.

"Look, this is the location of Iwo Jima." She clicked on the small circle a few times.

Then she pointed at a dozen points on the bug's body. "These are the places where the missing people were last seen. They are all concentrated near the coastline, and in the lower half, relatively close to Iwo Jima."

She paused and continued, "What's even more strange is that their disappearances are highly concentrated in January, August, and September. These three months happen to be the time when the magic institute is on holiday."

Hephis rubbed his chin with his fingers, "So you suspect that magic captured these people."

Hermione took a deep breath and said, "I can only say that it is very likely. After all, the number of missing persons in the past ten years is not normal at all. And most of them are from Africa, which is even more abnormal."

"Theodore, Morpheus, you two try to find some clues. If you can prove that this matter is related to magic, get the evidence. They are very likely doing some illegal experiments." Hephis ordered.

Theodore nodded. He had also read the information.

But he had no interest in missing persons.

I didn't expect Hermione could analyze such an important clue from it.

What’s wrong with this brain? It’s so powerful.

"How about I go in instead? I can cut the shadows and should be able to get more information."

Morpheus' words brought Theodore back to his senses.

"You... just forget it! Although I can't investigate, I have already dispersed the shadow soldiers. Although they are short of clues for investigation, they are there in numbers, and we will always be able to get useful information."

Theodore was also helpless. Morpheus was indeed better than him in the ability to obtain intelligence, but the problem was that Morpheus had no emotions!

He now has the shadow of Shinichi in his body, and he can imitate Shinichi perfectly.

But Morpheus couldn't make any expression, so he might be much more exposed.

"Okay!" Morpheus also knew his inherent shortcomings, "Hephis, you want to watch the fireworks on Christmas Day, don't forget to leave some shadow soldiers to put the things away."

"Don't worry! We've already made arrangements. If we can't find evidence by Christmas, we'll just follow Plan A," Theodore responded.

Morpheus nodded.

As soon as they returned to their residence, Theodore quickly drank the antidote to the Polyjuice Potion.

Then he drank the Polyjuice Potion with Shichiro's hair in it.

"Professor Snape's potions are getting harder and harder to drink." Theodore complained as he put on his clothes.

Morpheus didn't say anything. Theodore would complain almost every time he drank, but now he was too lazy to respond.

His face moved and his body began to shrink, turning into the appearance of Shinichi Inoue.

This was a new body he had just changed into before leaving, although it was not as strong as the previous one.

But it allows him to transform at will, and he also has five senses.

He had also tasted Snape's special version of Polyjuice Potion, and it was indeed quite bitter.

They have made an appointment to visit their brother-in-law's house at seven o'clock today.

So Theodore and Morpheus need to switch identities.

After all, Qijiro is meeting his sister and brother-in-law.

You can't have a blank expression on your face anymore.

At the same time, they also prepared a "big gift" for the Minister of Magic.
