225 Harry Potter: Death Eaters in Hogsmeade, exploits a conflict, Wednesday's stupidity.

Both Voldemort and Dumbledore were experts in Legilimancy, a form of magic that allowed them to read and explore the minds of others.

Snape, on the other hand, used Occlumancy to protect his mind from the intrusion of other Legilimens. Occlumancy is the art of closing the mind against Legilimancy, allowing Snape to hide his thoughts and emotions from those attempting to penetrate his mind.

Both were playing a dangerous game; Voldemort was forced to reveal his existence in that weak and bodyless state, he was vulnerable, and given his distrustful personality, he would never have done so. But Allen Walker forced him to just by being at Hogwarts.

Snape was also playing with fire by doing exactly what he did in canon and pretending to be on Voldemort's side.

...

Allen had several bags of trinkets he had bought in his hands; Minerva had offered to pay, but Allen only accepted a couple of gifts; otherwise, his pride wouldn't allow it.

At that moment, Allen stopped in his tracks and smiled maliciously.

"Allen?" said Minerva, confused by Allen's behavior.

Allen pulled out his wand and shot it into the sky.

Just as Voldemort had his dark mark to announce his presence, Allen had created one.

In the sky, Allen's wand shot made his Venetian mask appear, which usually serves as an ornament of his innocence.

The village of Hogsmeade began to evacuate; unlike Voldemort's, Allen's was a warning to evacuate; he only used it during his time as an Auror to face dangerous or multiple enemies. His mark quickly became known in the magic world.

Minerva looked at the mark in the sky in disbelief; she approached Allen and took him by the shoulder.

"What's happening?!" she asked, concerned.

Allen gave a wide grin, showing his teeth but with a hint of rebellion. "Sorry~"

This Allen was Rebecca...

...

In the Three Broomsticks, people began to evacuate; Quirrell became nervous, and Snape raised his guard.

"Go..."

The raspy voice that chilled the bones entered Snape's ears; this wasn't Quirrell but Voldemort. Quickly, both Snape and Quirrell/Voldemort used Apparition to teleport, but they couldn't.

"Bastard..." Voldemort's voice echoed again. "You..." Voldemort spoke toward the bar.

Upon hearing the command of the former Dark Lord, three men who were also in the bar and hadn't fled stood up and looked at Quirrell without emotion.

"Die here..." was their master's command before Quirrell and Snape ran to a fireplace to use Floo powder.

At that moment, the door opened, and Allen entered...

Three Avada Kedavra bolts were shot at Allen; he used his hand to stop the three killing curses.

"You won't escape this time, Voldemort!"

As he said those words, Allen drew his wand and aimed at one of the Death Eaters, who flew towards the wall, shattering the floor as he went.

Dumbledore had his way of doing things, and it was always defensive and passive, while Allen was a tireless hunter; his prey knew it, and escaping from Allen required sacrifices.

Allen pointed at the second Death Eater whose wand twisted before exploding the entire arm of the Death Eater.

Allen narrowed his eyes at seeing him in that state but without uttering a single scream. Voldemort had brainwashed them so they wouldn't hesitate to die to buy him time.

Two columns of fire surrounded Allen; he watched as the third wizard recited a spell to manipulate the fire. He wasn't anywhere near as impressive as Dumbledore, but there was no doubt he was a powerful wizard, and Voldemort sacrificed them without hesitation.

Allen extended his hand, took the fire, and brought it to his mouth; that's right, he had used Strange's trick to devour the wizard's magic.

Allen appeared in front of the Death Eater and hit him in the neck to render him unconscious. Since they didn't think and didn't feel pain, there was no need to prolong this.

Unfortunately, Voldemort's plan had worked, and he escaped. Allen sighed; if he could use other abilities besides magic, he wouldn't have escaped, but that's the way the world works.

...

As he left the Three Broomsticks, Allen was greeted by a crowd, which made him frown because his mark in the sky should have indicated that they should evacuate.

Minerva approached with Rebecca at her side, who was smiling in amusement.

"Hii Dad~, did you kick some Death Eater ass?!"

The fun in the girl was obvious; for his part, Allen felt uncomfortable with this situation because he spent most of his time as Allen Jr., and although he had gotten used to treating Artoria as his father, being called "father" gave him a strange feeling.

"Yeah, thanks... son"

As Allen said those words, he could see Rebecca struggling not to burst into laughter.

"Professor Walker," Minerva said with a worried look.

"Professor Minerva..." Allen noticed the looks and took Minerva and her son inside the Three Broomsticks.

...

"Death Eaters in Hogsmeade?!"

As expected, Minerva was in shock to see three Death Eaters on the ground. Hogsmeade is very close to Hogwarts, there are dozens of students here all the time.

The danger something like this could pose is unprecedented, but for that very reason, it doesn't make sense.

Albus Dumbledore is seconds away from this place, and even Allen Walker himself is here; it's simply suicide.

Minerva saw how two of the three Death Eaters were agonizing; they wouldn't die, but their conditions were terrible; unconsciously, she covered Allen (Rebecca) so he wouldn't see what was happening.

The girl frowned, but Allen gestured for her not to bother. Rebecca smiled cunningly, and while Minerva was absorbed with the Death Eaters, she made a circle with her fingers and used the index finger of the other hand to pierce the circle.

This was a well-known and vulgar signal that meant sex, the girl didn't hesitate to take advantage of it to demand something in return for behaving.

Allen slapped his forehead; seeing himself make such vulgar gestures with a perverted face was a big shock.

....

After a few minutes, the fireplace lit up green, and several people arrived at the Three Broomsticks; they were Aurors, and among them was Alastor Moody.

"Walker, what shit do you have for me today?!" Moody said irritably; he seemed to have woken up from a hangover.

"F*ck You, I do your job, and you treat me like this?!" Allen responded with a contemptuous smile.

Moody hit the ground with a cane, "Sure as if you deserved respect after you left and dumped all your responsibilities on me!"

The two looked at each other with annoyance, then laughed and shook hands.

"Glad to see you alive, Alastor."

"You too. At this point, I figured your missus would've stabbed you, hahaha."

"Ouch, that was low, you one-eyed bastard!"

Minerva watched the exchange with surprise; the respectful and gentlemanly Allen was acting like a bar ruffian. Strangely enough, this didn't displease Minerva; rather, it gave Allen a more human touch and made her blush.

Allen (Rebecca) looked at her with amused eyes, and Minerva coughed.

Moody took out his special drink and took a sip; then, he saw the three Death Eaters and signaled for the other Aurors to take them away.

"Damn scum, they don't respect anymore!" Moody complained with disgust. Then he looked at Allen, "What happened, Walker?!"

The three Aurors accompanying Moody tensed up. Not in their wildest dreams would they call Allen Walker so rudely and directly. But Alastor Moody is different; he was Allen's mentor when he became an Auror. If there's anyone who doesn't hesitate to be informal with him, it's Moody and perhaps his most loyal subordinate who could not come.

Allen explained the events, Moody opened his eyes and looked at Allen Jr. wondering how this kid could identify and sense three Death Eaters.

"I can answer that," Allen took a step forward and pointed at Rebecca, who took out a pendant. "You know Voldemort likes to mark his slaves with his dark mark; this one is used to call them. So, I created this pendant to identify those with that mark if they're nearby."

"Damn, if that thing exists, why didn't you say so earlier?!" Moody banged his staff on the ground. "I want twenty of those for the next party among the pureblood houses. I'll sneak in and arrest all that scum right away."

Allen shook his head. "It's not that simple. It only works if the dark mark is active, and besides, you can't make them on a large scale because it requires a fragment of Voldemort's soul."

Moody took out his drink, took a sip, and accepted the explanation. Then he turned around as if he didn't care and continued inspecting the Death Eaters.

"Walker... is the old Dark Lord alive?" Moody asked. This made Minerva and the Aurors tense up.

Of course, Moody noticed that Allen had said the dark mark needs to be active, and everyone knows that only happens when Voldemort is nearby.

"Tom Riddle is the most ruthless wizard to have ever existed, but at the same time, he's a total coward. He fears death more than anyone. Someone like that wouldn't die so easily..."

Silence reigned as everyone held their breath.

...

Allen accompanied Minerva and Rebecca back; he was no longer an Auror but a professor, so there was no need to get involved beyond that.

Allen smiled as he looked at the scenery on the way to Hogwarts. Rebecca took his hand while pretending to be his child.

Allen is always surprised by Rebecca's brazen attitude. If all doll girls were like her, he would save himself a lot of headaches, but that's impossible.

...

Allen lay in bed at night; 2B was on his right, and Rebecca was on his left. Standing by the window, bathed in moonlight, was Artoria.

Allen smiled; Wednesday's plan worked so well that it was frustrating. Since that day, Cornelius never raised his voice to him again, the obstacles in the system that prevented him from doing paperwork disappeared.

Since that day, the attitude of many Ministry officials improved significantly; his status improved, and his salary tripled more than it already was.

Allen gained enough authority to put people in and out of Azkaban without needing to consult the Ministry.

The businesses, now managed by Ivy, Gwen, and Emma Frost, which will be discussed in the future, had no more problems, no surprise audits, or intrusive investigations.

As has been repeated many times, Allen was someone necessary, so everyone in the Ministry changed their attitude towards him. Of course, only on the surface; in their minds, they still saw him as a nuisance and a threat.

Wednesday's actions even allowed Allen to enter Hogwarts without any problems.

Does that justify everything? No.

But one important thing that has been overlooked must be understood.

It's understandable because Allen "paid" for the doll bodies, it feels like they belong to him.

Which couldn't be further from the truth.

Each doll is a completely different matter...

Take, for example, the issue of betrayal. To betray, there must be loyalty.

Makima is Makima; that may be obvious, but it's not being understood as it should. This Makima has no difference from the original Makima.

She never expressed her desire to serve Allen and only behaves because of the difference in power.

Esdeath is similar; her loyalty is based on conditioned ideals. Allen is stronger than her, so she obeys him. There may be something more slowly growing inside Esdeath, but it's not enough yet to change her way of being.

So, both women are not qualified to betray Allen. The issue would be different with Rebecca, Artoria, and recently, 2B.

They are dolls who swore their loyalty and desire to serve Allen, and although Rebecca and Artoria didn't explicitly say it, they demonstrated it through their attitude. They would be betraying Allen if they did the same as Makima and Esdeath.

Wednesday's case is special.

Everyone can look at 2B, and she is so loyal that it borders on obsession, so it appears that she loves Allen. However, she doesn't see him as a lover but as a master, her owner.

On the contrary, Wednesday is a common girl, At first she could not accept simply being someone else's possession and giving up her individuality, eventually she fell in love, but loving does not mean giving up oneself, so Wednesday loves Allen in a different way than Rebecca and Artoria.

Her devotion is based on love, so she can think of things and methods that girls like Rebecca and 2B wouldn't even think of.

She acted for Allen's good, and she did it so well that it's frustrating. However, she didn't leave everyone satisfied, not even herself and Allen himself.

Should Allen hate her for that? He's annoyed, but he couldn't hate her when her motivation at all times was to help him. Simply put, her methods were foolish, and her actions extreme.

Wednesday knows this, and that's why she's afraid to contact Allen. On paper, her plan worked, according to her personality, it was perfect. However, she removed from the equation how they would both feel afterward.

In short, Wednesday acted foolishly by excluding her and Allen's emotions from the plan.

It is important to distinguish that the reason Allen does not think of this as serious is because of the girls who were responsible.

His relationship with dolls is like a dating game; none of them comes with brainwashing, nor do they get rid of their emotions and past. Allen has an invisible indicator of love, loyalty, respect, and perhaps dependence on each of the doll girls, and this depends entirely on Allen if he increases their affection and loyalty or not, he hasn't done it with Makima and Esdeath so their actions are natural.

Once again, Allen is a little annoyed by Wednesday's stupidities, but with Makima and Esdeath he doesn't feel much since he did nothing to earn their loyalty let alone their love, if it had been Artoria who had done it he would be devastated.

[Host, do you want to create a subsystem with affection levels for each girl?]

Allen's eyes sparkled at the proposal of the system. This way, he would know when a doll could act like this even if she were the best liar in the world.
