Control of Noether

Could it be?

The Dark Wizard thought of a possibility and his heart sank. He was about to shout when a white light hit him.

"Obliviate! "

Ivan looked at the unconscious Dark Wizard and lowered his wand in disappointment.

After a few days of experimentation, he found it difficult to completely alter a wizard's memory, and the results were unsatisfactory, even when combined with Legilimency and Memory Charm.

This was because the implanted memories were ultimately fake. No matter how much effort he put into weaving the memories, the other party would quickly notice the strangeness after regaining consciousness.

It will probably only be possible once these two spells are raised to a higher level.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much time left to experiment. He had three days before his appointment to go to Nick Flamel's house, and if all went well, he might have to stay there until school started.

Knock knock knock …

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Ivan said casually, unsurprised.

Three wizards dressed in golden-red robes cautiously pushed the door open and entered. Like Rosier and the others, they felt a great pressure on their hearts the moment they entered.

Especially when they saw the Dark Wizards lying on the ground like dead dogs…

"Take these people away, as you did before!" Ivan ordered, glancing at them briefly.

"Yes… Your Excellency!" Several wizards nodded and pulled the fallen Dark Wizards away, trembling.

Ivan, acutely aware of their fear, shook his head to himself.

As expected, these new wizards had too little contact with him. If they had known him for a little longer, they might have realized that he was actually a very kind person!

Ivan sighed and put aside his long-term change of heart until he returned next year.

As for now, he had one last thing to do, and that was to control the Norts!

This fellow was the head of a pure-blood family, and his prolonged disappearance might lead to investigation.

As such, Nott could not die yet, and Ivan would need him to temporarily stabilize the Ministry of Magic and work with him to create the illusion that Knockturn Alley was still in chaos and stall for time.

Ivan had previously experimented with Legilimency and Memory Charms on Dark Wizards for the same reason.

Unfortunately, the experiment failed, as altering a person's memory is not that easy…

Fortunately, there was a way to fix it. Wiping out a portion of Nott's memory would work just as well with the Imperius Curse.

The only trouble would be to put some men on surveillance in case the Nort broke free.

With that in mind, Ivan got up and headed for the door.

…

The day passed in the blink of an eye.

Using the Imperius Curse to control the Nort was an easy task, and considering his lack of mastery of the spell, Ivan did not attempt to do so himself.

He was only responsible for erasing Nort's memory with the Memory Charm and implanting some new memories as insurance, so that even if the Imperius Curse was broken, Nort's memory would be scrambled for a long time.

In addition to the daily routine of practising magic, Yvonne had Fren form a team of seven werewolf wizards to patrol the streets in an effort to combat the lawlessness.

The Wizarding Market was guarded by additional guards, and with the cooperation of Rosier Senior and the others, it was not a problem to fool the Ministry.

The main goal was to fool the officials into thinking that the previous battles were personal, gang-related, and did not threaten the Ministry's rule.

In the evening, Ivan called all the wizards together again, as he had some things to tell them before leaving.

One of the most important things was to give these wizards something to do while he was gone!

After capturing the Wizarding Market, they had no enemies left in Knockturn Alley.

This meant that the wizards would no longer have to fight for their lives and would be paid well.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Ivan!

He would not allow these people to get paid for nothing!

So Ivan is going to get them all moving, and spend the next year training hard, from skirmishers to real warriors!

This belief was reinforced by a rough understanding of the wizards' abilities, which could only be described as appalling.

Including the captives who had just surrendered, only half of the fifty wizards were able to successfully cast the Armour Charm, and only nine of them knew how to use Avada Kedavra!

Ivan stood on the platform and looked around at the wizards with disappointment. Under their gaze, he cast a Resounding Charm on himself and spoke slowly.

"I must say you lot are a great disappointment to me!"

"As an adult wizard, some people can't even cast the Shield Charm freely. You have to know that even some new students can master such a basic spell!"

Hearing Ivan's words, the wizards in the audience bowed their heads in shame and fear, while a few tried to refute him, as the Shield Charm was not a basic charm, but rather a difficult advanced spell.

Not even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic could do it, and certainly not by a young wizard.

However, before they could say anything, they swallowed their retort, as they had a living example in front of them, and no one doubted Ivan's mastery of the Shield Charm when he first started school.

Seeing that no one dared to refute, Ivan immediately ordered the wizards to split into pairs and practice!

Unlike duelling clubs at Hogwarts, Ivan's rule was that wizards and witches who fought against each other were allowed to use all magic except the Death Curse, with one goal in mind: to defeat the enemy in front of them!

In any case, with Dougett here, as long as he did not use the Death Curse and did not deliberately kill, he could be saved no matter how serious the injury!

The person who won the most duels every month would be able to join the law enforcement team and receive a salary increase of 60 Galleons per month!

After Ivan's high-profile announcement, the grim-faced wizards became excited. Sixty Galleons was a high salary in the British wizarding community.

For poor wizards like them who lived in Knockturn Alley, joining the Law Enforcement Squad would undoubtedly greatly improve their lives. Previously, they did this kind of hard work in order to eat their fill. Now, they felt as if they had more to pursue…
