"I think we should get out of here for a while!"
Nelson Tobin was trying to convince his family with the news he heard on the radio. Ever since the Ministry of Magic established the Muggle-Born Committee, he had been quietly following this matter. Especially after learning about the recent events in the wizarding world from the broadcast of the Wizard Watchtower, he became even more uneasy.
Even though the former Auror named Kingsley Shacklebolt came last time and said that he could take him to a safe shelter, Nelson still politely declined because his family had no intention of leaving this home and seeking refuge elsewhere.
For this reason, Nelson once begged the former Auror to modify his family's memory so that they could leave here and seek refuge elsewhere, but Kingsley politely refused and took some time to tell his family in detail about the terrible situation in the wizarding world and the dangers they might encounter if they stayed here.
However, Kings' words were of no use at all.
Tobin's family was not well off, and his parents both had jobs and were unwilling to give up easily. After all, it was not easy to have a job that could support a decent life.
As for what the former Auror said, Nelson's parents only believed it a little.
In the end, Nelson couldn't let go of his parents and chose to stay with them. As an outstanding student of Slytherin, he believed that he had a good attainment in defense against curses and dark arts, especially the "Self-Defense Guide" published by Anderson, which gave him a lot of inspiration. He has also mastered many practical spells in the book. Even if a dark wizard really attacks, he at least has a wand to protect his family.
"Okay, Nelson, we know what you're worried about, but you should know that our family is not rich, and your mother and I can't easily give up our current jobs." Facing his son's pleading eyes, Mr. Tobin reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "We promise you that we'll go out and hide for a few days around September?"
This was the Tobins' final compromise.
According to the wizard named Kings, the days after the start of the school term at Hogwarts were more dangerous. As for the radio station, it seemed a bit ridiculous to Mr. Tobin. He felt that the guy was exaggerating, otherwise those terrorists called Death Eaters would have come to the door long ago.
However, Mr. Tobin did not know that his family was actually lucky because Nelson escaped the disaster by not subscribing to the Daily Prophet.
Those Muggle wizards who subscribed to the Daily Prophet and did not have time to escape have all become victims of the Muggle-Born Registration Committee.
The search team responsible for hunting down Muggle wizards is not a good group of people, and many families have been destroyed because of the pitiful bounty.
Yes.
Similar tragedies have been happening in the UK, and the culprit behind all of this is Umbridge.
Although Umbridge did not find the addresses of those Muggle wizards and witches, nor could she get the home addresses of Muggle wizards and witches from Hogwarts, she still used her position to get a list from Snape, and through that list, she found several Muggle-born students who had long subscribed to the Daily Prophet, and successfully found their homes by tracking owls.
This is how the unlucky guy on the Wizard Lookout radio came about.
Although a small number of people had temporarily moved away, most chose to stay. Those who were unwilling to leave their Muggle families eventually became the targets of the anger of the fruitless search team members.
This is also the reason why Nelson has always wanted his parents to move temporarily.
Soon after turning down Kings's offer, Nelson regretted it.
He was now very helpless, and was worried all day long, fearing that some Death Eaters would really appear outside one day, and prayed that the communicator left for him by Kings would work, but that thing seemed to be fake and had no effect.
Although Kingsley said that you might need to wait a day or two after using this thing.
In fact, Nelson still hoped that the person who came could help him tamper with his family's memory, which was one of the reasons why he politely refused after Kings came and took out the communicator.
"You see, these fogs and the strange things that have happened in Britain recently were all caused by those Death Eaters." Nelson said, pointing at the news on TV.
He still hopes to raise his family's awareness of the crisis.
"Okay, Nelson, of course we know, but there is no safer place in the UK right now, right?" Mr. Tobin changed the channel again and comforted him, "We are actually more worried about your situation. Now that you can't go to Hogwarts, what are your plans next?"
Nelson opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard the doorbell ring in the entrance hall.
"Who is it, so late?" Mr. Tobin frowned slightly.
At this moment, Nelson had already jumped up from the table. He suspected that it was Kings who said someone was coming to pick him up.
When Nelson was about to open the door, Mrs. Tobin, who had just finished cleaning the dishes and put down her apron, was one step faster than him and was already walking towards the entrance.
Nelson also picked up the wand on the table and followed him out. He soon heard voices coming from the entrance.
"Does Mr. Nelson Tobin live there?"
The person who spoke was a stranger, and his voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man.
"There's no one named Nelson Tobin here. You may have come to the wrong place!" Mrs. Tobin looked at the stranger outside and told a lie.
There's nothing I can do. The person in front of me doesn't look like a good person!
Especially after hearing Nelson say it so many times, Mrs. Tobin became somewhat wary.
"lie"
The middle-aged man suddenly became stern.
"I really don't know..."
"There is a price to pay for lying, Avada Kedavra!"
Then, Nelson saw the entrance shrouded in a creepy green light, and Mrs. Tobin collapsed to the ground.
"No!"
Nelson was stunned by the sudden change, and his mind went blank as he looked at Mrs. Tobin's body.
He instinctively raised his wand and attacked the "Death Eater" at the entrance.
Nelson's eyes were bloodshot, and anger almost took over his brain. He wanted to kill those bastards and avenge his mother.
However, the black magic that Nelson was so proud of did not hit the target, but blew open the door to the entrance.
The loud noise undoubtedly woke up the surrounding neighbors.
"Nelson, what's wrong?"
From the living room came the voice of Mr. Tobin, who rushed out with a mop stick for a weapon.
“Don’t come out!”
Nelson screamed and tried to stop his father from doing something stupid. Even if he had a gun in his hand, he was not much of a threat to the wizard, let alone a mop pole.
Just as Nelson used the barrier spell to send his father flying back to the living room, the group of "Death Eaters" had already rushed into the corridor despite his evil curse.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Nelson did not hesitate and used the Unforgivable Curse.
A green light suddenly lit up in the corridor, and the Death Eater who was hit by the Killing Curse froze in place, his eyes wide open, two lines of blood flowing from his nose, obviously frightened by the Killing Curse.
"asshole!"
In order to vent his anger, the man swung his wand vigorously, and Nelson was violently whipped out. He hit the wall next to him and was knocked unconscious. He had no strength to resist at all.
"Are you okay?"
A figure appeared out of thin air. He was also frightened by the Avada Kedavra curse just now.
"I almost thought I was going to die." The man roared with a ferocious face, "That damn mudblood actually used the Avada Kedavra curse."
"Don't worry, the mudblood isn't magically strong enough to use that kind of spell."
These words obviously had no comforting effect. He grabbed Nelson, who was almost knocked unconscious, and slapped him hard several times to wake him up.
"Mudblood, this is how the Killing Curse is used."
As he spoke, the dark wizard with a ferocious face raised his wand and pointed it at Mr. Tobin, who was easily subdued by his colleagues.
"No!"
Nelson's eyes widened in horror, but it was too late, the green light spread in front of his eyes, completely engulfing his father.
"Okay, now that we've vented, it's time to leave." After his colleagues had done all this, the other person did not forget to warn his colleagues.
"He's a dead man anyway."
The man was obviously unwilling to give in and beat Nelson severely.
"Stop it, don't kill anyone, otherwise we might not get any Galleons." Looking at his rampaging companions, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "We are lucky tonight, at least we have something to gain."
"I was nearly scared to death."
When they dragged Nelson out of the room and prepared to Apparate away, the lights around the room were turned on, but no Muggle dared to come out to check the situation. They only dared to vaguely observe the situation outside the street through the window.
"I'm going to set this place on fire!"
The man ignored the dissatisfaction on his companion's face and directly sprayed flames from the tip of his wand, setting the whole house on fire.
“Let’s go!”
"I think we should not do that!"
Suddenly a voice rang out, and then the two men completely lost the ability to resist and fell directly to the ground, fainting.
"That's it?"
Another voice followed.
"Just these two people? Didn't they say the search team has quite a few people?"
“Isn’t this wonderful?”
"Unfortunately, we seem to be a little late."
"No, we arrived just in time, otherwise you would have been in Azkaban."
"I don't know whether his luck is good or bad." Looking at the unconscious Lucky Man, Cedric had a complicated expression.
If they had come earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Albert looked at the burning house and said, "Please put it out before it spreads to other places."
"I think we can get it done just by the two of us."
Fred and George raised their wands and used "Water Like a Spring" to summon a stream of water to extinguish the flames.
"No, I just want you to be more cautious. We are not doing this to ambush them, but to avoid being ambushed." Albert corrected the two people's wrong views: "After all, the reason why we can be so easy is because they underestimated the enemy. How can you be sure that you will not become the next one?"
"Since you can use the Disillusionment Charm, why can't others? Since we can hide and attack each other, why can't others? Don't forget that both of you are on the Death Eaters' blacklist. If you are not careful, you may step into a trap and fall over. At that time, don't expect the Death Eaters to show mercy."
Albert led everyone to do the first rescue mission just to give them more confidence, and also hoped that everyone could be more vigilant and not underestimate any enemy.
Wizards in this world are very fragile, and sometimes they can be defeated by a simple spell if they are a little careless.
"Recover quickly!"
Albert raised his wand and pointed it at the unconscious young man in front of him, trying to use a healing spell to wake him up.
The spell was effective and Nelson soon opened his eyes and woke up.
"Okay, you're safe now." Albert said soothingly.
"Why did you come now!" Nelson suddenly burst into tears.
"You should have left with Kings." Cedric frowned slightly and said, "He should have warned you."
"Crying won't solve the problem."
Albert could feel the prying eyes around him. He frowned slightly and waved his wand to turn off all the street lights around him.
"Get up, we're leaving!"
"They killed my family."
Nelson's eyes were filled with hatred. He picked up the wand and prepared to make the murderer of his family pay the price.
"I need to pry something out of their mouths, and then I can hand them over to you."
Albert raised his hand to suppress Nelson's wand, and asked the twins to drag the unconscious dark wizard into the room. He glanced at the body at the entrance and suggested, "After you have taken revenge, think about what you are going to do in the future!"
After saying that, Albert took out a bottle of truth serum from his pocket and fed it to the other awakened guys.
He found out that the two guys actually didn't know either. The specific information came from the Muggle-Born Registration Committee of the Ministry of Magic, who locked the Nelson family's address through owl mail.
Nelson was stunned.
"If they had blended in with the Muggles and hidden from the beginning, the situation would have been much better." Albert reached out and patted Nelson's shoulder to remind him, "Remember to bring your luggage, and bring some pounds with you, for things you will need."
"Thank you for saving me, and thank you for giving me the chance for revenge." Nelson did not use the other party's magic wand, but stabbed the two men to death with a kitchen knife.
"The Muggle police should be here soon, so hurry up and get your luggage. We'll help you clean up here," Albert reminded.
"You really let him kill them."
Cedric's expression was extremely complicated. The scene of Nelson killing someone just now made it difficult for them to adapt.
Yes, they have never killed anyone with their own hands, not even a dark wizard.
"I said I would not stop others from taking revenge." After Albert turned the two bodies into stone, he dug a hole in the backyard and buried them.
"If they had listened to your advice and left or hidden, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened."
They have heard of too many similar tragedies since Voldemort took control of the Ministry of Magic, and this is just one unfortunate case.
