Chapter 334: “Finishing It All”

Paleness appeared on Fabian’s face. Even in a paralyzed state, he couldn’t believe the situation in front of him.

“You, you… how could it be…” He tried his best to squeeze out a few words.

Sean squatted on the ground.

“I have only one comment on your plan. It was rough.” Sean squatted half a meter away from Fabian.

“I have to say, I was really puzzled at the beginning. It’s unreasonable for you to help Umbridge. I even thought about whether you want to deal with Grindelwald. However, if you think about it, you and your father are smart people who are not so smart, and you know that you are weak to Grindelwald, so your target must be me.”

“It’s simple when you think about it this way. You don’t care about the situation at Hogwarts or Umbridge’s work progress. You just want me to die. Everything you plan for is for me.”

Sean gave a thoughtful look and clapped his hands after a while. “You were not there when Umbridge and Draco had a conflict that day; you must have expected that I would notice something was wrong and come looking for you. You need to play your act better. I think someone is in Draco’s group, right? As long as I’m not seen around with Draco, he will not notify you, and you’ll just stay in an unoccupied corner that is easy to find and eavesdrop.”

Fabian’s face became paler, and his teeth were clenched together.

Sean was still talking to himself, “You throw out news about Grindelwald, throw out the strangeness of the Ministry of Magic, and even throw out what’s wrong with Nurmengard. Of course, I can believe it to some degree because there is a high probability that all of this is true.”

“You told me that Rookwood was arrested, and this was also to attract my attention. You know me quite well. You know that I wouldn’t say I like this kind of closed news environment, and you know that I will find out more about it. You were trying to lure my attention.”

“At this time, I found someone who has information. You are wearing magic props, and you are very guarded against me, so I will definitely not fight you. Then there is only one person left, Umbridge.”

Fabian was about to gnash his teeth, and the feeling in his eyes was almost overflowing.

“When did you know…” he asked while wringing in pain.

Sean smiled, “Quick enough if you use your brain a little bit. You are too reckless, and the plan is so rough. You even told me that you are going to leave Hogwarts. Isn’t this just a reminder to me? ‘I’m not in the castle, so hurry up and attack Umbridge!'”

“My sister’s acting skills are better than yours when she wants to eat an ice cream. Although the way you keep your calm is good, you can’t hide the look that you want to get rid of me.”

Blood was slowly oozing from the corner of Fabian’s mouth.

“Impossible! If you knew I was going to do this, why did you mess up Umbridge’s memory? How could your Dark Mark be erased?” Fabian seemed not to believe what he said and desperately tried to find Sean’s flaws.

Sean looked at him, “If I don’t tinker with Umbridge’s memory, will you bring someone here? Isn’t this to make you more confident? Besides, I also need some witnesses from both sides.”

Sean showed his teeth, “I covered two layers of memory, and the bottom layer of memory where I ‘accidentally’ exposed the Dark Mark because of the pain of the quill was also fake, and I used another layer of fake memory to cover this fake memory. That hooks you, aren’t you? That you think I’m covering up the Dark Mark?”

Fabian’s eyes were about to bulge out forcefully, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead. He looked to the other side of the corridor, which was the way he came, and there was even confusion in his eyes.

“How is it possible…”

Sean smiled, “Nothing is impossible. To be honest, my Illusion Charm is very powerful. Very powerful one to the point the person you brought is staring at my false body.”

To be precise, the illusion spell enhanced by an item called Echoes of Hermione was used. Sean is very confident at casting it and tricking all of them.

“Then, then…” Fabian tried his best to move but failed to move his body.

“Oh, this? You must be very surprised. You have many defensive magic props, and you won’t eat any untrustworthy food. How could I put you down so easily?”

Sean clenched his fist with a smile and stretched out the ring in front of him. A dark round pupil was inside, but Fabian didn’t feel sleepy at all.

“You were stalked by me once when you were in Nurmengard, but you’re not prepared to guard yourself against hypnotic magic.”

“You…”

Sean snapped his fingers, “Forget about it; you definitely don’t have a high-level potions professor who would help you. You also put something in Umbridge’s office. You don’t think anyone would notice that thing? Of course, this is only part of the gas potion; the incense you smell today is another part. Combining the two creates a powerful paralyzing effect that only works on you.”

Thanks to Snape’s Potion Notes, Sean was able to save his Potions class grades and mastered many weird ways of poisoning. It has to be said that poisoning is much easier than brewing potions.

Fabian’s face was pressed against the cold stone floor, his chest heaved violently, and the despair that could not be melted was already in his eyes. Sean turned his head sideways, and his eyes gradually lowered.

“You are weak, and you know that you’re weak. When we first met, at least your magic power surpassed mine, but after a long time, you have not made any progress. The only thing you can improve is your brain. You are getting smarter. Although this plan is a little bit rough, at least it is a plan, right?”

“It’s a pity that you still have to rely on external forces, which is why so many people are following you. How wonderful, they can now provide me with a perfect alibi.”

Fabian completely closed his eyes as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate. But Sean just sneered and patted him.

“What’s this?” He held up an earring, bracelet, and necklace and even removed the decorative buttons on Fabian’s waistband.

He couldn’t hold back anymore. He opened his mouth slightly wide, his pupils were constantly shrinking and expanding, but there was only an indescribable pain from his throat.

“This earring should have an automatic recording spell similar to a video camera. The bracelet is for recovering yourself. Look at the fluctuations in magic power. It looks cheap. The necklace and this thing are both trigger-type defensive magic items, right? Luckily, I haven’t done anything just now. Shouldn’t you applaud my brilliance? Oh, I almost forgot. I guess it also has the function of sending emergency messages in case I attacked you.”

Between Sean’s fingers, a tiny bird coiled upwards.

“People only know that Niffler is a good animal for stealing things, but few people know that an Occamy that is very obedient, smart, and can shrink its body at will is the better one.”

Sean stood up and then kicked Fabian in the face.

“Do you think I have a hobby of explaining things to others? Do you think you are the only one who is stalling for time? The desperation and humiliation between life and death are well acted out, but it’s a pity that Naja is not slow to find things.”

Fabian lay trembling on the ground like a crippled dog, and there was a painful sound in his throat. Sean raised his wand, cast an Imperius Charm, and threw Fabian into the ring.

Fabian finally got back his wand, but his eyes were dull, and he kept pressing the tip of the wand against his temple, and the silver strands were being pulled out continuously. Sean threw the strands into the Pensieve.

Just now, he asked Fabian to extract all the important memories by himself. If Sean wanted to, he could have now transformed into the real Fabian.

He looked at Fabian with dull eyes. Dave was looking at him curiously, and his face was dripping with saliva.

“Dave,” Sean’s voice became severe, “Did I say that human brains are not allowed to be eaten? Especially the rotten ones.”

“No, I just took a look and smelled it. Do you want me to kill him for you?” Dave thought.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Get out and go back to sleep.” Sean said unhappily, “You should pay attention to what you eat. What should you do if you have diarrhea after eating it? And I warn you again, if you eat human brains, you will never be allowed to eat them again.”

“Okay, I will not eat.” Dave looked at Fabian reluctantly, quickly jumped back into his usual posture, and fell firmly into Sean’s hands.

Sean flicked Dave like a yo-yo and casually raised his wand at Fabian.

He lifted the Imperius Curse.

His eyes have begun to turn white because of excessive memory extraction, but his strong will to survive still makes him make a sound.

“I can tell you all my habits, all my secrets…” Little Aiken feebly raised his hand to rest on his head and tore his hair like crazy.

He was so anxious that he was going crazy, but he just kept gesturing to Sean, “Look, I give you all my hair. You can use a Polyjuice Potion…”

“Shh…” Sean stretched out a finger, squatted down, and smiled, “Don’t make any more noise.”

Fabian lowered his hands and looked at him, begging eyes.

“You should be thankful for my kindness, knowing that you were able to maintain your sanity.” Sean chuckled.

“Combustficus”

The flames drilled out of his orifices. He collapsed on the ground due to the intense stimulation. Endless pain can be felt, but he could only let out a soundless groan.

“I’m satisfied to see you so desperate.” Sean applauded softly.

Black smoke can be seen. Pudding stood and leaned, holding the airwing bird and turning it around so as not to shock its young heart.

When only ashes remained on the ground, both of them were a bit stunned to see him.

Sean waved his hand, “Go play for a while, and I’ll bring you delicious food tomorrow.”

Pudding, The Airwing Bird, The Basilisk, Naja, and Dave all let out happy cries. No one took another look at the black ashes on the ground.

Sean was not in a hurry to go back to Umbridge’s office. He had obtained enough information from Fabian’s memory as a child. The Guards’ leader received sponsorship from the Aiken family every year, and the two discussed something before he joined.

Sean still has at least two hours to do what he wants to do.

Sean waved his wand at himself, and after a twist, Fabian appeared in the corridor with a gloomy face. It has to be said that Fabian’s family is indeed rich and powerful, and they have prepared several portkeys for him.

Among them is a new manor directly owned by the Aiken family.

The new manor where Sean already knew all the secret passages, passwords, and portkeys.
