The boy's scalp tingled, but he didn't dare to retreat rashly. He swallowed and asked, "...What can I do for you?"
"How about you deliver a letter for me?" the wizard asked, taking out a thick letter.
The boy took a quick glance and found that the address on the envelope was nearby, and it wasn't a place like Knockturn Alley that would make people shudder.
He hesitated, glanced at his brother who was being held down by the wizard and trying hard not to cry, then took the envelope with both hands.
"Okay, do you have any other instructions?"
The wizard glanced at the two of them with a cold look, sneered and said:
"The recipient of the letter has a bad temper. If you bring your brother along, maybe he'll be a little more lenient with you."
The young man heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
If that's the case, it's understandable why the wizard doesn't want to deliver the letter himself.
"Also," the wizard let go of the boy's brother and said, "When you accepted this letter, you were cursed by me."
When the boy's face changed color, he sneered: "If I don't deliver the letter in time, I can't guarantee what will happen to you."
The boy took a deep breath and said, "I will deliver the letter in time."
"Well, I hope everything goes well for you." The wizard smiled strangely and turned away.
The boy's mouth was tight. He patted his brother's head with the hand that didn't hold the letter and said, "I'll go deliver the letter. You should go home soon."
"No, I'll go with you!" the younger brother cried.
"It's just a letter delivery. It's not dangerous. I'll be back soon."
"No, I'll go with you!"
The little boy didn't know what had happened. He just knew that he had brought trouble to his brother and he cried out of fear.
And he still remembered clearly what the man had just said - if he took him with him, the person who received the letter would not be angry with his brother.
The boy tried to persuade the brother for a while but to no avail, so he left a note on the counter, closed the shop door, and took his brother to the address on the letter.
——If everything goes well, he should be back in a few minutes.
He thought optimistically.
Besides, his father went to Gringotts to withdraw money and should be back soon. When he sees the note on the counter, he will definitely come out to look for them.
The boy who was walking away didn't see it. The wizard quickly turned back, pushed open the door of the shop and went in. After a while, he came out and walked in the direction the boy left.
The middle-aged man who was resting on a bench by the roadside sighed, slowly stood up, and looked in the direction where the few people left.
……
The boy took the envelope, compared the house numbers of the roadside shops, and gradually walked into a secluded alley.
He walked back and forth but still couldn't find the address on the letter.
"Brother..." The little boy held his hand tightly.
"What's the matter?" asked the boy.
"I'm a little scared..." said the little boy in a crying voice.
The boy looked at the long and narrow alley and the closed doors on both sides, and turned around decisively: "Let's go back first and let Dad take us to deliver the letter."
But after they took just two steps, their bodies froze.
The wizard who had asked them to deliver the letter was standing at the entrance of the alley.
"Bad boy, don't keep your promise."
He said in a voice that sounded as if his throat was scratched: "I want to go home before the letter arrives."
The boy quickly pulled out his wand, shielded his brother behind him, and tried to explain: "I didn't break my promise, I just couldn't find the place."
The wizard walked towards them and said, "I know the place. Let me take you there."
"You can deliver it yourself!"
The little boy suddenly shouted, "We are going home! Dad is waiting for us!"
"No, he won't wait for you. He doesn't know where you are."
The wizard threw a ball of paper at their feet. The boy looked down and saw his own handwriting on the paper.
That was the note he left for his father.
He took two steps back as if in fear, then his wand suddenly shook: "Faint!"
A red beam of light shot towards the wizard. He didn't expect that this seemingly young child could actually cast a stunning spell, and he threw himself to the ground in haste!
The spell brushed his hair against the wall.
"Run!"
The boy didn't realize that his spell had missed the target, so he dragged his brother along and ran away. Suddenly, he heard a voice: "Petrify all!"
The two men suddenly fell down stiffly.
There was another elderly witch in front of them, slowly putting away her wand.
The witch laughed an unpleasant sound like scratching glass, and said, "Little guys have sharp claws too, don't they?"
The wizard came over from behind, cursing and wiping his nosebleed. He kicked the petrified boy and made him roll over. He pointed his wand at his heart and said coldly, "Crucio!"
"boom!"
With a loud bang, blood suddenly spurted out of the wizard's chest and he flew backwards.
Chapter 122 Investigation and Pursuit
The witch looked very old, but she reacted very quickly.
She slapped her body immediately, and a large cloud of dark smoke immediately emerged from the place, making it impossible to see anything.
The teenager and the boy struggled to open their eyes, only to hear a series of crackling noises and spells whizzing through the smoke.
After an unknown amount of time, the smoke was dissipated, and a poor-looking wizard slowly approached, holding a wand.
After the black fog dissipated, two people were revealed...
Or rather... one and a half people.
The wizard was tied tightly to the ground with ropes, his face was swollen, his legs were stuck together, and he couldn't move.
His chest was hit by a Crushing Curse and was covered in blood. His body was also covered with scabies, pustules, and marks that looked like burns.
He could not make a sound, only his eyes were rolling in fear.
The petrification spell on the teenager and the boy was lifted, and he quickly covered his brother's eyes to prevent him from looking around.
Most of the weird witch-like witch disappeared...but the part below her belly remained there.
"What's wrong with her?" he asked in horror.
"They've split." The middle-aged gray-robed wizard who saved them said slowly, "This kind of accident will happen if you're not focused and calm enough when you Apparate."
"Will she die?" the boy asked with a frown.
"Who knows?" The gray-robed wizard said nonchalantly, "I have never split myself."
When the boy saw the wand in his hand, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The grey-robed wizard took out a bottle of potion and poured it all into the wizard's mouth.
The boy stammered to dissuade him: "Um... killing is against the law?"
"Murder?" The gray-robed wizard rolled his eyes at him unhappily. "What are you thinking about? This is the water of life and death."
"Oh..." The boy scratched his face awkwardly, and then he relaxed completely.
The Water of Life and Death is also called the Living Hell Decoction. Although the name means either "death" or "hell", it is actually just a very powerful sleeping pill.
"Come on, I'll take you away."
The gray-robed wizard picked up the paper ball on the ground and stuffed it into the boy's hand, saying, "Also, there is no curse on the letter. You have been deceived."
"Thank you for saving us."
The little boy suddenly pulled his brother's hand off, looked at the man and said:
"I'm Wright from the Mancini family, my brother's name is Theo... What's your name?"
"You can call me Werner."
The grey-robed wizard spoke calmly, while Theo watched him silently beside him.
"Any questions?" Werner asked him.
Theo glanced back and asked, "So those two are just going to be ignored?"
"Of course not." Weiner said, "Who are they? Why did they target you brothers? Do you have any accomplices?"
"These all need to be investigated thoroughly...but the help I can provide ends here."
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he stopped, looked at Theo and said:
"Go find your parents and elders and tell them about this. Whether you report it to the Aurors or investigate it yourself is up to you."
Theo was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I see...what about you?"
"Look at the state of those two guys, can you leave them alone?"
The wizard waved his hand and said, "Hurry up. I will stay here until the person you are looking for arrives."
"it is good."
Theo glanced at him, nodded, and quickly ran towards the drink shop with his brother.
His father, John Mancini, had returned and was standing at the store door looking out.
Seeing the two children running over, he immediately said angrily: "Didn't I tell you two to stay in the store? Why are you running around with your brother?"
Theo quickly recounted the events.
John Mancini's face became uglier and uglier as he listened. Even though the two children were standing right in front of him, he still felt a wave of fear.
