Chapter 136 – Impero
Who were we looking for first? It was an easy answer: The unlucky boys who fought against me in front of Dirmitis's door. Because their leader was still under my mind-controlling curse, summoning him out of class wasn't a hard thing to do. My new command was straightforward: arrange a secret meeting with them tonight at a nearby ruin. Of course, he would never arrive because we would be the ones waiting for them.
"Do you want them dead?" Quincy asked as we left school after giving our little puppet new orders.
"No. If we kill them, that could also scare Andrei. I want him to not even realize that he is being played! So we are going to place them under the same imperius curse."
"Ohohoho~ Are you planning for a time when he challenges you?"
"Something like that. Lucius was forced to fight me one-on-one; I don't think something similar would happen here. So I thought about going back to the basics and pulling an Umbridge on him."
"Too bad we don't have a basilisk's eye with us." She giggled, grabbing my hand and leaning against me as we approached the front gate, walking past Grindelwald's mark on the wall.
"Wait..."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Couldn't this be the last clue?"
"Shouldn't his memories come back then?" she hummed, thinking about it while watching the symbol. "He did look at it, even using magic to wipe it off the wall."
"Yes, but he just played along and didn't really fix it. He may need to properly dispel it. Isn't it worth a try? Even if not, he can remake it after. Nobody would know if he does it when it's late at night."
