Placing pawns

Henry was looking at the building in front of the district registry office.

"Jarvis, direct me," Henry said in his mind.

"Yes, sir," said Jarvis.

Henry entered the building, and with the information Jarvis had learned from the minds of the surrounding people, he made his way to the regional director's office. Using legillimency, Jarvis could see the thoughts and recent memories of people in proximity to Henry. In this way, he was gathering and analysing information.

He could only do this in muggle society. The reason he didn't do it in the wizarding world was that Henry didn't yet have enough magical power and the means to conceal himself.

By this time, Henry had reached the principal's office unnoticed. He quickly entered the room and closed the door. The man in the room, in his late middle age, looked at Henry in surprise.

"Who are you, young man? Are you lost?" said the district population director.

Without speaking, Henry raised his wand and said, "Imperio."

"Jarvis, start the process," Henry said.

Jarvis indicated he had received the command and began the process. What Henry meant was to find the authority of the registrar to find a suitable new identity for his family and to process the command to the registrar for the procedures to be carried out after the fake death of his family.

Henry had discussed legillimency with Jarvis. Legillimency was a very difficult and subtle branch of magic. Henry was very skilled at occlumency but not so good at legillimency. This is where Jarvis came in. It was easy to penetrate vulnerable minds with legillimency. Operating on the mind was.

To examine and manipulate memories, you needed a very high level of control over the art, otherwise you would harm the person whose mind you were entering or you would not achieve the desired result.

For Jarvis, examining and manipulating memories was very simple. It would take him a few hours to change all of a person's memories. The only problem was the capacity of Henry's magic.

Soon, the director of the population district stood up calmly and left the room. Henry walked over to the director's desk and sat down.

Jarvis immediately started checking Henry's body. He started working on the computer. His first goal was to find the right people and their addresses for Henry's family to live in France. His second goal was to identify his family's relatives and their addresses. The third goal was to create a retrospective life insurance record for his family.

The third goal was to make it easier for Henry to become a millionaire legally, so that he could get an adult license in the magician's world. It was the most difficult of the goals because he had to change the records of multiple government departments and insurance companies.

Or rather, Jarvis had to change them. It might have been difficult for humans, but for the AI, at this point in history, it was a simple task. After about ten minutes of processing, Jarvis had achieved its goals.

Shortly after Jarvis had finished, the director and one other person entered the room. Henry wasted no time and used imperio on him, too. Actually, he didn't need to use imperio, but it made it easier to work with legillimency.

Jarvis quickly entered the person's mind and made the changes. The person the director had brought with him was the head of security for the building. He had asked him to erase today's CCTV footage and then follow him to his office for an explanation.

These were all Henry's instructions that Jarvis inserted into the principal's mind. After the security guard changed the memories, the three of them left the office. The security guard was to continue his work all day as instructed and not notice anything was amiss. Henry followed the manager out of the building to his car.

Henry got into the passenger seat, and the manager started driving. Jarvis had already given the manager the address in his mind. After reaching the address, Henry got out of the car and the manager left the area, wasting no time.

Henry then entered the building in front of him. This was the corporate building that Axy had found earlier, used by an organised crime gang to launder money. With Jarvis' guidance, Henry made his way to the room of the leader of the organisation. No one was paying attention to Henry because he had already cast the 'don't notice me' charm.

The building was huge, and it took Henry ten minutes to find the room he was looking for. When he entered the room, the man in the suit sitting inside looked at Henry.

"How did you get in here, kid?" the man said emotionlessly. Just as he was about to continue the conversation, Henry used imperio on the man.

The man was not the leader of the criminal organisation he was looking for, but his right-hand man. Jarvis wasted no time in reviewing and organising the necessary memories. When Jarvis finished, the man called the building's head of security from the phone on the desk.

Jarvis repeated what he had done at the district registry office and edited the memories of the incoming security guard. After Jarvis finished, Henry didn't want to waste any more time and materialised.

There was a man watching five women swimming in the pool of a luxury mansion. The man was lying on a chaise lounge sipping whisky. Suddenly, the man heard a very low explosion from behind him. Before the man could turn around and react, he calmed down and continued to watch the women.

Henry was looking around behind the man. He had learned from the mind of the man in the company where the leader of the organisation was staying and the memory in his mind materialised where he was. Luckily, he was behind the leader.

Henry continued to look around while Jarvis examined and modified the memories.

"The people I was planning to kill," Henry sighed in his mind. These people were one of the reasons he went to the dark forest before he died. The notorious human traffickers of the underworld had businesses all over Europe. In his old plans, Henry had planned to rob these and other organisations and kill their members.

Henry thought he had no morals or taboos. The truth was the opposite; he wanted to clean up criminal organisations for more than one reason. Money was the most important, but the reason he wanted to kill these people was to distribute his own justice with the power he gained.

Dumb caught him before he could do anything, and scraped the old, naïve, and stupid thoughts from his skin. The reason Henry was here now was to kidnap his family's replacements and move them secretly to France.

At least that was the first reason. The leader of this organisation was a man named Rick. Henry was going to make him his puppet and unite all the criminal organisations of England. He did this because of his plans for the future. In ten minutes, Jarvis had Rick completely loyal to Henry.

He had given Rick a superficial knowledge of magic and magical society because in the future, they would not communicate with Henry, but through his house elves. Rick got up from the chaise lounge and made his way to the mansion. Henry was not interested in staying any longer, so he materialised five kilometres away from his home.

After arriving home, Henry turned on the home computer and began to search the internet. He searched for computer companies and scientists in England. Henry did this because he planned to combine magic with technological tools. Another factor was that the technology at the time was suffocating him.
