Chapter 96:

With the locket in his possession, Edwin had to make a trip to collect some basilisk venom and perform the ritual, Edwin has done the ritual more than enough time to know what he has to do without much effort.

To get the Basilisk venom Edwin defrosted some of the ice off of its fang and carefully scrape it off, and placed it into a bucket; due to the venom being mixed with water it took longer than necessary to destroy the Horcrux.

After destroying the Horcruxes Edwin started to count" just three… or is it four to go" Edwin stated with much relief and went to clean up the ritual marks as he didn't want anyone to find any evidence of a ritual being done in the chamber.

Edwin though that with Voldemort on the rise he would pick up the pace on his training and learn some new spells which were mostly offensive spell and some that will be useful in case he would have to go on the run, as he messed with Voldemort plans and even stabbed him with a bowie knife.

The week before his trip to Diagon Alley Edwin was having breakfast and there was once again an alerting hooting coming from the muggle mailbox in front of the door, which was strange as the daily prophet owls would simply drop the newspaper and be on their way unless they needed to be paid or wanted a break.

But the Hooting that the owl was giving off was alarming as if it's seen something terrible and it must report without fail" alright I'm coming "Edwin shouted which made Yasbel jump but caused the owl to stop s frantic hooting.

"Fuck" Edwin shouted out as he saw the newspaper headline.

"Watch your mouth young man "Wendy shouted coming downstairs in a slightly larger dress at didn't show her small puffed out belly,

"What it says," Ivan asked flowing down behind her in a nice robe which caused Yasbel to glanced at him as the only time Ivan would wear nice clothes is if he's going out with Wendy.

Edwin who was still looking at the paper didn't care and just read the headline "Massive break out at Azkaban and Bartemius Crouch senor attacked in his home"

"What "Ivan shouted out knowing that the criminal that escaped wasn't any small timer" who escaped"

"Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange, Antonin Dolohv, Augustus Rookwood and several others" Edwin couldn't believe that the massive break out had already happened.

"What about that Crouch person?" Wendy asked taking some food.

"it says here that he was attacked in the middle of the night after the break out by three persons" Edwin stated reading the report giving everyone a summary" there were two males and one female with Dementors following her"

"Did you just say she had Dementors following her" Ivan shouted out in disbelief and there was a slight panic on his face.

"why is something wrong" Wendy replied with a huge smile that could rival the Grinch staring blankly at Ivan.

"Um no I was, just thinking that if it happened after the breakout right," Ivan said grabbing his chin "they must have helped with it as Dementors could go in Azkaban easily"

"But why attack and run away, "Edwin asked and started to think of the worst possible situation, what if Crouch has been poliyjucied that would mean the entire magical law enforcement is in Voldemort hands.

With the entire law enforcement in his hand, Voldemort already has an advantage over the order of the phoenix and the only way to fix the problem is either expose or kill Crouch, with the awful idea of Voldemort controlling the magic enforcement Edwin couldn't help but to smile at the situation.

"Is everyone okay?" Yasbel asked as she was the only one in the room not smiling or gazing in the distance.

"Peachy" Edwin quickly replied and calm down thinking of a way to get the deed done and he came up with one answer Moody.

"Why are you so dressed up," Yasbel asked trying to change the topic" are you following mum to work again"

"I got a job interview" Ivan stated with much pride sitting down to eat breakfast.

With the mention of his job interview, the topic changed from the massive escape to the job Ivan would be interviewing for but he wouldn't answer any question about it but Wendy seems to know what it was as she kept smiling and squeaking Ivan's hands.

After the week Ivan didn't mention anything about his job but everyone could tell he was looking out for a letter, Edwin who became a night owl as he was planning and scheming overheard parents arguing for the first time in his life.

"It's them "Wendy shouted in anger slamming her hands on the table

"We don't know that as yet," Ivan said as quietly as possible" but we should still call Doc and Keith"

"Already done "Wendy stated" what about Yasbel and Edwin"

"I don't think I can tell him as yet" Ivan stated, which gained Edwin's attention as he went downstairs to listen more.

"Neither can I" Wendy stated going in of a hug" are you going after them"

"I won't" Ivan stated hugging Wendy.

"but they killed Yasen and…" Wendy said squeezing Ivan.

"my father and mother are already looking for them, "Ivan said which his jaw clenched and his arms wrapped around Wendy "And Yasen would be rolling in his grave if I went after him"

"Yeah he would have tied you up again, "Wendy said with a slight chuckle.

"Honey… I promise everything will be okay… Yasbel and Edwin are safe Snape's looking after them and hopefully me"

Edwin was just confusing as he didn't understand a thing and why does his father put so much fate in Snape, with only questions and no answer as Edwin isn't too great at reading minds without casting the legitimacy charm he went to bed with a headache.

As usual, everyone meets up for their school shopping but this time they had another purpose building shopping, after getting their supplies and ice-cream they followed the twins around Diagon alley to find a perfect spot for their joke shop.

When they were finished looking at building they went back to the ice-cream parlor to take a break," no it should be bigger "Fred stated slamming his cup of ice-cream" we have the money"

"We still have to buy supplies" Georges shouted in disagreement.

"You two shut up "Luna hissed stopping the twins from fighting" I have never seen you two like this… just talk calmly and you'll figure it out" and like magic the twins figured out their plans within minutes, they would set their eyes on a medium-size building and have ample amount of items.

Throughout their entire argument, Draco didn't once make a smart remark which came to a great surprise to Edwin and Theodore was unusually quiet and Daphne was barely eating and would rarely talk with Luna.

"What's wrong with them" Edwin leaned over to Isabella and asked.

"I don't know but are you okay," Isabella asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be" Edwin replied with a huge smile.

"Your coffee flavor ice-cream is melting and you keep spacing out, "Isabelle said pointing out what's wrong with Edwin." It's like somethings wrong with everyone, Luna got upset, Draco quiet and Daphne is picking at her food"

"So what wrong with you, "Edwin asked as she didn't exclude herself form everyone.

"My ice-cream is almost finished "Isabella replied with a big smile showing her almost empty cup.

Edwin couldn't help but stare at her which seem to take his though away from finding a way to get the head of law enforcement out of the picture.

" I got a new wand" Neville stated drawing attention to himself "Gran allowed me to get one"

"Great for you is like," Draco replied with little effort giving up on his insult

" Let me see it, "Luna asked with a bright smile.
