After being buried in the sofa for a while, Ace sat up.

Ace did not return to Foley Manor immediately. She planned to work in the es store for a few days before going home.Walking downstairs, Mr. Lake was still working on the counter with his head buried in the counter.

"Mr. Lake, do you want to go to the workshop? I'll just keep watch here."

Ace rested his elbows on the counter, looked at Ryan who was sitting inside, and asked softly.

Ryan is attaching a spell to the object in his hand.He didn't react at all to Ace's inquiry and stared intently in front of him.He held the carving knife with his index finger and thumb and shook it slightly, and a perfectly curved curse appeared on the small ring base.

Ace did not continue to disturb Ryan. She walked lightly towards the workroom.

Looking at the messy operating table, Ace rolled up his sleeves, sorted the metal accessories, carving knives, and beakers aside, then wetted the rag and began to wipe the operating table until the operating table was clean.She took out a small brush and a rag to clean the things covered with metal powder.After busying for a long time, I finally put everything away, and the entire workspace looked brand new.

Stretching his waist, Ace rubbed his eyes that were sore from looking at small components for a long time. He couldn't help feeling that it would be better to be at Hogwarts, where he could use magic.

Looking at the shelf next to her, Ace had a headache. In fact, she agreed with Snape's assessment. These potions were only barely usable according to her standards.Sighing, she took out the crucible and prepared to process them a second time.

Watching the light yellow-green potion begin to bubble in the crucible, Ace quickly crushed several beetles to extract the juice, then used a dropper to suck up the juice and drip it into the crucible.The bubbles from the light yellow-green potion exploded, and a wisp of yellow smoke floated out from it. The potion rolled for a while. When the yellow smoke completely dissipated, the soaked potion turned light green.

Ace put out the alcohol lamp and started bottling.

After all the potions on the shelf were processed, Ace opened the door and walked out.Ryan also happened to get up. He had already finished carving the ring base.

"Miss Foley? Why are you still here?" Ryan was startled, his voice was much louder than before, and slightly sharper.

Ace narrowed his eyes, shook off the water drops on his hands, and responded with a smile: "I'm here to help, Mr. Lake."

Ryan raised his hand and squinted at his watch, "It's almost eight o'clock in the evening, Miss Foley. I, I'm ready to go home, do you still want to stay here?"

"Ah, is it already so late? Then..."

"what!--"

"Help! Help—"

Before Ace could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden scream outside.Ryan's expression suddenly became serious. He quickly walked around the counter to the door and observed the outside through the glass.

Ace also walked over and leaned on the door, looking through the glass at the cobblestone street outside——

A group of men in black robes wearing strange masks holding magic wands wandered the streets of Diagon Alley.From time to time, they cast a dark magic spell on the people lying down and wailing on the street - according to Ace's observation, at least it was a poisonous spell belonging to the three levels of jinx, poison curse, and curse.

Many of these people rushed into the store, and soon there would be a "crackling" sound and miserable shouts in the store, and the men in black robes walked out with brisk steps, joined the team, and continued to do evil.

Suddenly, one of the men in black robes turned his head and looked here, as if he was looking at a dead person.He walked towards this side with light steps.

A biting chill ran down Ace's back, and she covered her mouth tightly, tears of fear flowing from her eyes.

"Who...are these people? Mr. Lake?"

Ace took a step back, holding his arms with both hands, his body shaking uncontrollably.

She saw that those who fell to the ground immediately stopped moving after being cast by the green light spell, and lay on the ground to be trampled on - they must be dead!That must be the killing curse of the three unforgivable curses!

Ryan pushed Ace to the stairs and urged her, "Quick! Get up there! Leave through the fireplace! Ace! Go! Go to Hogwarts!"

"Ministry of Magic!"

Ace wiped his face, ran upstairs quickly, grabbed a handful of Floo powder and jumped into the green flames.Falling from mid-air to the marble floor, Ace didn't have time to care whether he was in pain or not. He hurriedly got up and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Help! Help! Someone is attacking Diagon Alley!"

The hurried wizards in the main hall stopped and looked at her.

"What? What did she yell?"

"Did someone attack Diagon Alley?"

"Who is it? Voldemort!"

Soon several Aurors took Ace to Minister Eugenina Jenkins' office.The usually serious and expressionless female minister now frowned, and a melancholy look enveloped her face.

"Miss Foley, you said someone attacked Diagon Alley?"

"No, that's right, a lot of people died, go and help them!" Ace cried, grabbing Jenkins' arm and shaking it violently.

Jenkins patted her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, Ace, you need to tell me the characteristics of the attacker in detail."

"It's a group of men in black robes, about twenty or so, wearing strange masks and proficient in black magic." Ace tried hard to suppress his chaotic thoughts, recalled, and told Minister Jenkins everything he saw.

After receiving the information, Jenkins quickly arranged for people to rush to Diagon Alley. She was now very sure that these people were Voldemort's disciples.

A clear "Diagon Alley" sound sounded, and the Aurors disappeared one by one from the rising green flames.Ace felt a little more at ease now and sobbed lightly.

Minister Jenkins hugged Ace stiffly and comforted her in a stiff tone, "Ace, don't cry, you did a good job. The Aurors will save those people."

"What about...those who were hit by the Killing Curse?"

Ace looked at Jenkins blankly, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, and there was a vulnerability in her tone that could break with one blow.

Jenkins fell silent, unable to answer the question.She couldn't say "It doesn't matter, we will save them" to Ace. Everyone knew that those who were hit by the Killing Curse would die.

Of course Ace understood this, but she still couldn't help but ask. She couldn't bear the feeling of watching those people fall in front of her, but she was powerless and couldn't do anything.

For the first time, she felt the fragility of life so closely - with just a wave of the wand and the words "avadakedavra", a living life was gone.

Ace lowered his head and accepted the fact.
