"That night?" Yvonne was shocked at how dramatically it had ended.
"Yes! On the same night!" Dean Bohan confirmed, looking pleased.
"The Aurors came in late at night and subdued the panicked Death Eaters, and, of course, Dagget…my son!"
Ivan could only imagine how desperate Doggett must have been, falling from the heights of his life in an instant.
And perhaps remorse!
If Doggett had lasted another day or two, he would not have been a Death Eater awaiting trial, but a hero fighting against the Dark Lord!
However, there was no turning back. This was the punishment a traitor deserved!
"And he wasn't imprisoned in Azkaban? With the other Death Eaters? Did you save him?" Ivan suggested that it must have been Dean Bohan's soft-heartedness that saved Doggart.
Bohan, however, shook his head.
"I will not save a coward! Even if it is my child. But Doggett claimed to have been afflicted with the Imperius Curse, and he did not have time to kill anyone innocent with his own hands… so the court found him not guilty!"
"But I think the memories were enough to keep him alive forever with regret…" said Dean Bohan heartlessly, knowing full well that Dougett had not been afflicted with the Imperius Curse, which was why he was so angry.
Ivan was silent for a while. He looked down at the group photo of the three of them interacting intimately with the young, brown-haired wizard smiling at him.
Perhaps the son of Dean Bohan exists only in his memory and in this picture…
"I'm sorry to bother you, Dean Bohan!" Ivan rose to his feet, understanding that there was no longer any point in staying.
Dobby duly stepped forward and grabbed Ivan's arm,
With a snap of his fingers, the two vanished from sight.
The spacious Dean's office was empty except for one person. After a long time, Bohan touched the photo with a trembling hand, his emotions complicated.
…
On the other side, the temporary station at Knockturn Alley
Space twisted and tore, revealing Dobby and Ivan.
On the other side of the cauldron, the potion was bubbling, and some books were neatly placed on the table. It seemed that no one had entered.
Ivan watched the Polyjuice Potion brewing, which would take some time to brew.
Having lost his lead on Doggett, Ivan resorted to a risky plan to lure the attackers out of hiding.
However, it was extremely dangerous to do so, as there were nine witches and wizards who attacked the shop two days ago!
Ivan knew his own abilities very well. He was only slightly better than an ordinary Auror in terms of conventional combat strength. His advantage lay in the augmentation of his magical tools and the instantaneous burst of power that his bloodline magic gave him.
This gave Ivan an advantage over two or three ordinary adult wizards.
If the enemy was more powerful or outnumbered, he would face the problem of overconsumption of his magic.
Crucially, his Bloodline Magic, Unicorn's Shadow, was temporarily unusable, and whenever Ivan thought about something happy, he would think of Alicia and remember her dying a few days ago, interrupting the Patronus's formation.
The only thing Ivan could rely on was the newly-acquired Bloodline Magical Eye of the Serpent!
Under the influence of anger and killing intent, the power of the snake's eyes was greatly enhanced, replacing the Unicorn's Shadow and the strengthened runes that came every six hours.
However, there is usually a risk of losing control when using it…
It takes a while for Ivan to get used to the idea, and it's best to find someone who can.
Given the disappearance of the werewolf and the fact that Doggett had hidden his true identity, Ivan no longer trusted his Auror friends.
He wanted someone who knew everything about him, who was easy to pin down, and who, in his memory, soon gave him what he wanted…
It was Sirius Black who escaped from Azkaban!
As a core member of the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black was courageous, powerful, and experienced in combat, as well as being a shapeshifting and hidden Animagus.
This, combined with his most desperate desire to kill Peter Pettigrew the Traitor and meet his godson Harry Potter
This gave Ivan the confidence to get Sirius Black to help him,
He was, after all, in possession of the Marauder's Map, a friend of Harry's, and had easy access to Scabbers, the rat he wanted to kill.
Ivan, who had been deep in thought for a long time, opened his eyes and spoke to Dobby, who was standing with his ears drooping.
"Dobby, keep an eye on the Dark Arts shop and the ruined mansion nearby, and bring me a copy of the Daily Prophet."
"Yes, sir!" Dobby thumped his chest enthusiastically and disappeared from the room.
Ivan himself sat at the table, ignoring the fact that it was still late at night. He picked up a book on Polyjuice Potion that Dobby had brought back earlier and began to open it.
It didn't take long for the potion mastery notification to ring in his head…
Ivan was more anxious to find a way to change the outcome of Alicia's death than to find out who was behind it, otherwise it would be pointless to use the Time-Turner to go back in time.
If he remembered correctly, he had been shown what to do in the original timeline. The question was whether he could recreate the scene.
…
Ivan spent the rest of the day and night reading, only taking naps when he couldn't take it anymore.
A few days later, the system prompt in his head sounded.
[Ding! Your Potions proficiency has been upgraded. Current level: 5 (6/3200)!]
Yvonne, however, showed no reaction. She was still turning the pages of her book, her eyes shining.
He had an idea in mind, but he needed a chance to see if it was possible.
"Sir, I think you need to get some rest…" Dobby suggested cautiously.
Ivan ignored him, and Dobby sighed and handed him a copy of the Daily Prophet.
"This is today's Daily Prophet, sir!"
Ivan paused in his reading to glance over his shoulder.
The headline on the first page read:
[The most wicked and dangerous prisoner of Azkaban, Sirius Black, escaped from prison three days ago and has gone off to unknown ends!]
(PS: The brewing of Polyjuice Potion does not explicitly mention the need for human hair, Moody was not killed so that hair could be extracted, and the exact footage of the recipe is included in the author's message, check it if you have any questions.)
