The Charles Becomes a Wizard

Facts have proved that when it comes to their own lives and property, the action power that these nobles, who are usually slow in speaking and doing things, can burst out is still amazing.

However, within a day, the news that they had announced their separation from the Death Eaters came out. Having obtained the desired result, Ciel would certainly not go back on his word, and with a few words he sent them off to find the Undertaker.

Ciel had no idea what kind of torture these former Death Eaters had endured at the hands of the Undertaker. Sebastian, who was in charge of leading the way, came back to report that every wizard who had successfully gotten rid of the Dark Mark had a unhappy expression on their face when they left the store.

After this incident, Voldemort suddenly calmed down.

However, he had no choice but to be dishonest. Voldemort was originally just an orphan with nothing. He owed his current power to the nobles who had been marked with the Dark Mark by him.

Due to Ciel's intervention, the morale among the Death Eaters had long been unstable. The reason why no one dared to act rashly was only because of the Dark Mark on their arms and Voldemort's high-pressure deterrence. Now that such a large-scale defection has occurred, it is no exaggeration to say that the power in Voldemort's hands has been "seriously damaged".

How could Voldemort, who was so furious, have the energy to continue making trouble?

Of course, he wanted to punish those ignorant traitors, but after getting rid of the control of the Dark Mark on their souls, how could these nobles who had been passed down for thousands of years obediently allow him to punish them?

Forget about the punishment, Voldemort can't even find their people now.

So even though Voldemort hated Ciel and his servant, and those who betrayed him, he still had to lie dormant again.

However, by accident, the wizards sent to Voldemort by Sebastian survived. As to whether it was because Voldemort believed their eloquent arguments or was worried that his actions against them would cause turmoil within the Death Eaters again, that is another matter.

Once Voldemort, the troublemaker, became obedient, the Order of the Phoenix, which had always been defensive, also calmed down. The British wizarding world actually regained some stability. It was at this time that the Weasley brothers officially opened their shop in Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley.

The cold wind blew the withered yellow leaves around in the empty streets. Occasionally, a few figures walked hurriedly by, with their heads lowered and their robes wrapped tightly around them, as if they were avoiding something.

Most of the shops on the street were locked, and the glass on the windows was a little blurry, making it difficult to see what was going on inside. Only a few small shops on the corners were still open, but there were not many customers.

It was deserted, without any trace of the bustling scene that once was crowded.

Eric, who hadn't set foot in Diagon Alley for a long time, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Hogwarts was about to start school, right?

The period before school starts should be the busiest time in Diagon Alley, but now it is so deserted even at this moment...

It seemed that the situation in the wizarding world was more tense than he had imagined.

"Many people think that Hogwarts is too dangerous now, and that Principal Howard is unable to protect the children," Ciel saw what Eric was thinking and explained, "In fact, many people have begun to consider whether to take their families into hiding."

"Howard said that he received a lot of requests for leave of absence, but he didn't agree to any of them."

"So," Eric's lip twitched, "this is what wizards do when faced with danger?"

Just run away?

"It's normal to consider the safety of the child first. This is the way..." Ciel said as he led the way. "Voldemort didn't do anything good more than a decade ago. It's inevitable that he will bring psychological trauma to the wizards."

"However," Xia paused and suddenly raised a faint smile, "Thanks to him, the shop in Diagon Alley has become much cheaper. After this is over, we can make some minor changes."

As they were talking, the two brothers arrived at their destination - Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.

This brightly colored shop stands out in the increasingly desolate Diagon Alley. The bright lights and crowded crowds in the shop contrast sharply with the empty street behind it.

Charles and Eric looked at each other, pushed open the door and walked into the busy shop.

"They're doing a great job." Eric whispered as he looked at the exhibits in the shop and the smiles on people's faces.

"Thank you for the compliment." Two almost identical voices suddenly came from behind.

"Our investor spent a lot of money, so we certainly can't let him down."

Ciel and Eric turned around at the same time, and saw the newly dressed Weasley twins appearing behind them with smug smiles on their faces.

"I'm just stating a fact," Eric said as he ducked to avoid a Frisbee flying behind him and looked up at the fireworks that were emitting brilliant light in the air. "These things look interesting."

"So what do our investors think?" The Weasley twins looked at Charles at the same time, with a barely perceptible nervousness in their eyes.

"It's really outstanding," Ciel turned his eyes away from the boy walking on the ceiling, "but I thought you would wait until you graduated from Hogwarts before opening the store."

"Aren't you going back to Hogwarts for classes this year?"

George Weasley put his arm around Fred Weasley's shoulders. "How could that be? Our customer base is mostly at Hogwarts."

Fred Weasley followed up: "I just think that people need laughter more at times like this."

"Of course," the Weasley twins looked at each other and said in unison, "This is also thanks to the young master who waived our rent for nearly three years."

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to achieve this level on their own. After all, the annual rent alone is a considerable expense for them.

"I think my investment is quite valuable. I believe that if it were you two, you would not let me down." Charles raised his eyebrows.

George Weasley watched Charles disappear into the crowd, and silently raised his hand to touch his chest: "Fred, is this what you call personal charm?"

It's really scary!

A simple look and a few words suddenly made him think, "I must not let him down."

Fred: ...

Fred thought so too.
