From Azkaban

"Sir, can you tell me how the potion is taking effect now?"

Slughorn's words instantly focused everyone's attention on Locke. Feeling everyone's expectant gazes, Locke nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, the potion has taken effect. The effect is similar to what we expected. It is now rapidly disintegrating the isolation and adhesion between Harry and Voldemort's soul fragment."

"Hu~~"

After hearing Locke's answer, a breath was heard, and the potion took effect. The most worrying step was successful. The next step was to wait for Locke to separate the fragment of Voldemort's soul from Harry's body.

Naturally, everyone had absolute trust in Locke. They were nervous just now because they were worried about Snape and Slughorn's craftsmanship. The two of them were the same, as they were worried that something might happen to the potion that they had helped to develop.

Now that the most unstable first step has been successful, this is already the same as success in everyone's mind.

"That's great. Harley's health problem has been solved. We can go back without any worries."

As Petunia Dursley relaxed physically and mentally, she leaned a little weakly on Vernon Dursley.

The reason why they had been delaying all this time was to see that the problem of Harry's soul was resolved so that they could leave with peace of mind.

After that, everyone was no longer nervous. The Dursleys began to talk to each other. Slughorn whispered to Snape, wanting to teach her together and be Harry's teacher.

Harry, who completely inherited her mother's talent for potions, is undoubtedly a genius in potions. When it comes to geniuses, Slughorn is always willing to help cultivate them.

Lupin and Sirius began to sort out the things they needed to report, preparing to report to Locke after Harry's problem was resolved.

Time passed, and about ten minutes later, Locke, who had been staring at the condition of Harley's soul, suddenly raised his hand and motioned Harley to come forward to his side.

"!"

The sound of conversation disappeared instantly, and Harley walked to Locke under the gaze of everyone, and Locke reached out and gently pressed her head.

"Om~!"

The moment Locke pressed his palm, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the next moment, everyone saw Locke's palm slowly rising up, and soon, under the influence of Locke's magic power, the residual soul of Voldemort that had appeared in front of Snape and others before was pulled out little by little from above Harry's head.

"........."

The remnant soul that was pulled out opened its mouth wide, as if it was roaring, but at this moment it was completely wrapped and isolated by Locke's magic power, and no sound could be heard.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Locke pulled Voldemort's soul out of Harry's body bit by bit. The whole process lasted about a minute. Locke successfully pulled Voldemort's soul out completely while ensuring Harry's safety.

"My Lord, what are you going to do with it?"

After the removal of the residual soul, Harry was taken away by the Dursleys. Snape looked at the residual soul of Voldemort, which was compressed into a small black ball and held in Locke's hand, and frowned with disgust.

"Then of course we have to destroy it. The method is also very simple. We can use the killing curse. How about you all come together?"

Locke said this and turned to look at the others. Sirius and Lupin's eyes lit up when they heard Locke's words, and their wands were already in their hands. Seeing this, Slughorn shrugged and took out his wand as well.

"It seems so. Come on then."

Locke waved his hand and threw the small ball in his right hand into the air. In an instant, four killing curses were shot out in no particular order.

"Avada Kedavra! X4"

Four killing curses accurately hit the remaining soul of Voldemort in the air. The next moment, the black ball began to quickly disintegrate into nothingness.

.................

"You two are back, I think the matter has been settled, how about it."

In the manor hall, after dealing with the remaining soul of Voldemort and letting Narcissa send the Dursleys away, Locke brought Sirius and the others here.

"Sir, the two of us have already captured most of the werewolves in the UK. The remaining ones that have not been captured are basically those whose activity areas are too random and isolated."

Sirius and Lupin looked at each other, and the next moment Lupin stepped forward and began to report to Locke.

"Well, how many people are there?"

Locke nodded and asked about the number of werewolves that had been gathered.

"Nearly four hundred, and the number was increasing from time to time until Sirius and I returned."

The number Lupin reported made Locke's eyes narrow. Four hundred. Originally, Locke thought that two hundred would be good. After all, werewolves were ostracized and their living environment was too poor. Even if the conditions for spreading were very simple, it was impossible for them to spread too much.

After all, most werewolves are still rational, and usually try to control their actions after transforming into lycanthropes like Lupin.

Only a small number of extreme werewolves, led by Fenrir, continue to retaliate against wizards. These guys are also one of the main reasons for the continuous deterioration of the werewolf's living environment.

"You guys did a great job."

After praising the two, Locke signaled with his eyes for Lupin to continue.

"It is like this, sir. Among the werewolves we have collected, there is a group of them. They......"

The group that Lupin was talking about was exactly the extreme werewolves led by Fenrir. Lupin and Sirius were unwilling to allow these werewolves to gain stronger power. It was not because of prejudice, but because they had been completely engulfed and distorted by hatred.

"We've dealt with them all. As for the remaining werewolves, don't rush to recruit them. Let's observe and train them for a while first."

"If the situation is right, Lupin," Locke looked at Lupin, "become their alpha wolf and manage them well. In the near future, werewolves will become a pillar of support that the wizarding world cannot ignore."

Hearing the promise made by Locke, Lupin couldn't suppress his excitement. It was not because Locke wanted him to be in charge of the werewolves. He was excited because he saw the future of werewolves.

Volume 1: Chapter 95: The Direction of the New Wand

Lupin and Sirius left with Locke's arrangements. The next thing they had to do was to build an area that could provide living space for all werewolves.

Everything needed for construction will be provided by the Round Table Council, and the Round Table Council will also provide jobs for all werewolves, which is not difficult for the Round Table Council.

This will allow Lupin and the Round Table to build up their reputation and trust within the werewolf community before completing the completion.

After what happened last night, we can extend invitations to those werewolves who have passed the observation and assessment during this period, inviting them to become a member of the Round Table Council and work together for the future of the magic world and the werewolf race.

.........................

After solving Harley's problem, Locke began to study attentively. Because he had solved both Harley and Lupin's problems, Locke temporarily stopped learning curses and ritual magic.

After suspending his study of curses and ritual magic, Locke devoted his free time and energy to studying alchemy and researching weather spells.

After that, Locke studied potions during the day and delved into alchemy and meteorological spells at night. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month slipped away from his fingertips.

Locke has not visited Ollivander in the past half month. Three consecutive contacts are enough. What Locke has to do now is to wait for him to come to him on his own initiative.

More than half a month was enough time for the wand master to use his clumsy methods to obtain various information about the Muggle world.

Through Lucius' report, Locke knew that in just these few days, the master staff maker had almost figured it out.

In addition to the Wand Master, the Round Table Council has also been growing rapidly during this period.

As Knockturn Alley became more regular, the original group of elite members left the British wizarding world again and returned to their previous countries.

After returning to their foreign countries, these members began to continuously recruit new members, and also began to promote Knockturn Alley in foreign wizarding circles.

In more than half a month, Rodolphus, who was the fastest, had even initially built an organizational framework in France that could operate simply, accomplish some not-so-difficult tasks and expand steadily at a certain speed.

It has to be said that Locke did not make a wrong choice. As long as the abilities of these pure-blood families are guided correctly, they will definitely not be bad. After all, they are a group that has controlled the upper echelons of the British wizarding world for many years.

The last Voldemort who recruited them was simply missing the point. He didn't realize that if he wanted to do big things, these talented people who could get things done were the truly valuable resources.

This is the development of the Round Table in foreign countries. Compared with the outside world, the British wizarding world, as its base, will naturally not be bad.

In more than half a month, the name of the Round Table had spread throughout the British wizarding world along with Knockturn Alley and became an organization that everyone knew about.

Mysterious, powerful, orderly, and noble; this is the image of the Round Table in the minds of most British wizards.

Because of these, many wizards, after experiencing the grandeur of Knockturn Alley, began to yearn for the Round Table and planned to join it.

After screening and assessment, all those who wanted to join were arranged to Knockturn Alley.

It just so happened that all the previous elite members had gone abroad, and their joining could just fill in the various personnel vacancies in Knockturn Alley and make Knockturn Alley fully operational.

Lucius will inform these new members of the Round Table's philosophy and goals, and urge them to learn and improve and accept new ideas. All the resources they consume in improving themselves will also be provided by the Round Table.

In addition to ordinary wizards, more wizard families of all sizes and various domestic and foreign companies have moved into Knockturn Alley, gradually filling up the originally empty Knockturn Alley.

As Knockturn Alley became more and more prosperous, this money-making machine began to gradually show its power, with the daily throughput of Galleons and various resources growing explosively.

The amount of money earned every day from each transaction was a huge sum that constantly refreshed people's cognition. Even a rich man like Lucius would tremble with excitement when facing that amount.

In addition to money, recently, books from all over the world have been delivered to the hall every day, and the materials and resources needed for practicing various Locke experiments are also continuously delivered directly from Knockturn Alley.

"Sir, a new batch of alchemical materials has been delivered, and Mr. Ollivander is here to visit you."

Narcissa's voice came through the door and into Locke's ears as he was observing the changes in the magic power in the crucible.

"Are you here? It's a few days earlier than I expected. It seems that Mr. Ollivander is collecting intelligence faster than I thought."

Locke straightened his slightly bent back, signaled Snape with his eyes to continue, then turned and left.

"bang"

Locke closed the door and looked at Narcissa who was standing at the door waiting.

"Bring Mr. Ollivander to the Hall"

"Okay sir"

Hearing Locke's words, Narcissa bowed slightly, then hurried towards the reception room, while Locke turned and walked towards the hall.

In the reception room, Ollivander was sitting on the sofa with a thoughtful look on his face, thinking in his mind which direction he should develop the new magic wand.

That's right, after Locke's enlightenment and the information collected during this period, Ollivander has accepted Locke's point of view in his heart. It can even be said that he now agrees with Locke's point of view.

After personally understanding the weapons and development speed of Muggles, Ollivander could no longer maintain his previous self-righteous thinking.

"The update and iteration of the wand must begin as soon as possible." This is one of the two thoughts that Ollivander keeps repeating in his mind.

"Once successful, not only will the glory of the Ollivander family continue, it will even be recorded in history. I will also be recorded in history." This was another thought that repeated in Ollivander's mind.

Participating in the development of new wands or even becoming their creators, carrying forward the family honor and going down in history with them, this is what Ollivander is thinking now.

Among them, the development of new magic wands accounts for a larger proportion, because after all, he is a wizard who dedicates his whole life to magic wands. Being able to lead the development of new magic wands and let them be born in his own hands is something he cannot refuse.

"Mr. Ollivander, please follow me."

Narcissa stood at the door and raised her hand to signal, and Ollivander quickly stood up and followed Narcissa.

Walking through the long corridor, Ollivander soon saw Locke standing in front of the French window in the hall.

"Hello again, Mr. Ollivander"

"Mr. Cazier"

Locke smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking Ollivander's hand before releasing it.

"I am so glad to see you again, but I wonder why you came here this time?"

Locke guided Ollivander to sit on the sofa that had just appeared, and the teapot and cups on the table automatically flew up to serve tea.

"Mr. Kazier, I'm here for the new wands. Like you said, wands need to improve."

Ollivander picked up the teacup but didn't drink it. Looking at Locke, he spoke his thoughts without reservation.

"But Mr. Cazier, I haven't found the direction yet, so I came to visit you. As the discoverer of these problems, you must have had some ideas. I just don't know if you have any direction."

Locke smiled when he heard what Ollivander said. Coincidentally, just yesterday, he did find the direction of the iteration of the wand, which was a new concept that combined the research on meteorological spells with potions. What he and Snape just tried to brew was exactly the key thing needed for that direction.

"You came by chance, Mr. Ollivander. I just happened to find the direction of the new wand. Let me put it this way, do you think that the idea of ​​tattooing a wand on your arm is feasible?"

Volume 1: Chapter 96: Demonic Pattern

"Tattooing a wand on your hand?"

Ollivander was surprised by the idea proposed by Locke. Originally, in his opinion, the new wand could at most solve the problems raised by Locke before to a certain extent. He did not expect that Locke was going to abandon the actual wand directly.

"This.......such an idea..."

Ollivander didn't know how to answer Locke for a moment. At this moment, his brain was working fast, thinking about the feasibility of this method.

"Well, Mr. Kachel, the thing is, in addition to some necessary techniques, the material used to make the wand is also very important. If you want to tattoo the wand on your body, how can you solve the problem of the material that conducts magic power?"

All I can say is that he is a master wand maker and he thought of the most critical issue in just a few seconds.

Hearing his words, Locke smiled slightly.

"You don't need to worry about that, Mr. Ollivander. I've found the direction. It's just right. It should be OK over there now."

At this point Locke gestured for Ollivander to follow him, then walked towards the door. Seeing this, Ollivander hurriedly followed.

Passing through the long corridor again, Locke brought Ollivander to the room where he and Snape had brewed potions before.

Locke didn't knock on the door, but just reached out and pushed it open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Snape shaking a bottle of liquid. He turned around when he heard the door open.

"Sir, the thing you want is ready, but the effect of this thing... may not be as good as expected."

Seeing that it was Locke, Snape stepped forward and handed over the bottle in his hand.

"The effect is not good, what aspect is it?"
