"Tell me, what's going on?"

After undoing the curse on Alex, he woke him up and Murphy asked about what happened before.

"Mr. Parker, I'm sorry!" Alex Wood cried bitterly. He seemed to be frightened. "He tortured me, I, I'm sorry..."

With great difficulty, Alex calmed down and told Murphy about his miserable experience today.

The process was similar to what Murphy had guessed. The bald wizard named Papade suddenly caught him when he was about to come back after buying the materials, returned to the barn with him, and then tortured him with the Cruciatus Curse. He forced him to reveal Peter Parker's name.

Then he was forced to call Murphy.

After listening, Murphy patted Wood on the shoulder and handed him a cup of chocolate hot cocoa, "Forget it, it's not your fault."

Wood was obviously a relatively standard ordinary wizard who never thought that he needed to fight, so his combat ability was almost zero. He had no ability to resist a dark wizard who could use the Cruciatus Curse on people at will.

Moreover, it is very difficult to keep secrets when facing a wizard. Even if he resists the Cruciatus Curse, the other party may have Veritaserum or be able to use Legilimency.

It was just a false name that Murphy was forced to give, and Murphy would not blame the other party for it.

"However, this place can no longer be used."

Although the person who came this time was a fool and didn't discover Murphy's core secret, when he goes back, he might find some wise partners.

Even Malfoy might directly report a false alarm and have the Aurors dispatched. At that time, he would no longer be able to hide the fact that he violated the Wizarding Secrecy Act and sold the potion to Muggles.

Thinking of this, Murphy threw a bag to Wood, "Are you feeling better? If nothing happens, help me and pack everything here."

After everything was loaded, Murphy checked the barn one last time to confirm that there were no useful traces left. He pulled out his wand and waved, and under his command, several barrels of prepared gasoline were sprinkled all over the inside and outside of the barn.

Then, "Fire roars!"

When the flames completely engulfed the barn, Murphy grabbed one of Wood's arms and said, "Empty your mind. Disapparate!"

Murphy took Wood to Darkholm's old house, "You can't go to Diagon Alley anymore, and don't even go back to your nearest home. That guy has memorized your face and knows your name. You continue to appear in The wizarding world will be found by them sooner or later."

Alex panicked, "Then, what should I do? Can you report it to the Aurors, and they will protect me?"

Murphy looked at Alex in surprise, "Is your name Harry Potter, or is your father the Minister of Magic?"

Alex was confused, "What?"

"Forget it, how many Aurors are there? For a small person like you, unless the evidence is conclusive, it is impossible for them to go out just for you."

"What should I do?" Alex was troubled and began to regret accepting this job.

"I can protect you." Murphy said, "That guy was beaten to death by me, so he probably doesn't dare to trouble me anymore."

But not necessarily Malfoy.

But Alex didn't need to know that.

"Really?" Alex breathed a sigh of relief. If Mr. Parker could defeat the dark wizard, then he really wouldn't have to worry about safety when following him.

"But, there is a premise." Murphy said, "You need to say goodbye to the wizarding world for the time being. I don't have time to follow you at any time, so you can only be safe if you temporarily leave the wizarding world. I am in Muggle There is some energy in society that will ensure your life here."

"No, no, no, no, I have never been in contact with Muggles. They will find me and I will be burned to death..."

Alex shook his head quickly.

He grew up in the wizarding world and had never lived in Muggle society at all. Leaving the wizarding world and going to Muggle society, for Alex, felt like throwing an African native into metropolitan London. Full of fear.

"Burn your ass! It's the 20th century, brother, who will burn you to death? Forget it, I don't care, you can do whatever you want, go back if you want to die, I won't stop you."

Alex hesitated, thinking about the terrifying bald black wizard today, and the pain of the Cruciatus Curse, he was shaken, "How long will it take? How long will it take for me to go home?"

"It can be as short as one or two years, or as long as three or four years. It won't be too long." Murphy said.

By then, maybe I will have the power to compete with the Wizard's Secrecy Law, and maybe I won't need to be sneaky anymore.

"So long?" Alex frowned bitterly, and after a while he asked aggrievedly, "Then, can I write a letter to my mother?"

"Nonsense! Hurry up and write! By the way, you can't reveal any information about me, and don't say that you have been threatened, so as not to worry the old man. Just say that you are traveling to save trouble."

"I-I'm not stupid!"

"Ah."

In Muggle society, you have been deceived to the north of Burma, aren't you stupid?

This wave, a Muggle barn was lost, but a wizard was brought back, which seems... not a loss?

But how to buy materials will become a problem in the future.

There are only a few potion shops in Diagon Alley, and the amount of materials you need is huge. No matter where you buy it, you may be targeted.

Hogsmeade?

To be honest, there are only a few wizard gathering places that Murphy knows about.

Although he was originally from a wizarding family, his parents had been involved a long time ago and did not enjoy the information benefits at all. Murphy's understanding of the wizarding world was not even as good as Alex's in some aspects.

Thinking of this, Murphy found Alex who was about to write a letter again, "Besides Diagon Alley, where can I buy a lot of potion materials?"

"This... Knockturn Alley?"

oh?

Murphy has never been to Knockturn Alley.

It is said that dark wizards are rampant there, and since he has no special needs, he naturally does not need to deal with such a dangerous place.

But since it is a lawless place, it must be difficult to be controlled by official forces such as Aurors. For Murphy now, it may be safer than Diagon Alley.

After all, people like Malfoy are just clowns. What Murphy is really worried about is that the violation of the Wizarding Statute of Secrecy is officially known.

Maybe you should find time to visit Knockturn Alley.

Also, maybe he should open a potion shop to hide his identity.

Malfoy was able to detect the anomaly this time. Even if he purchases materials in Knockturn Alley in the future, there is no guarantee that he will not be noticed and investigated.

If there could be a potion shop and materials could be purchased in the name of the potion shop, many things would be easier to explain.

As for the location, Knockturn Alley would be a good choice. The supervision is much smaller than that of Diagon Alley, and there probably won’t be many customers. It’s very suitable for him who just wants to make a pretense.

Just do it.

Murphy gave Alex an order, "You stay here and don't move around. I'm going to buy some oranges... Ahem, in short, you will live here for now until I find a place for you."

"If anything happens, call me..."

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no landline installed in the old house, and this big brother feels a bit ominous. It is not a good thing to answer the phone. Murphy almost feels a shadow.

"Forget it, I have something to hold back. Let's talk about it when I get back."

Alex: "?"
