I step out ofthe governent building and hurry away. After hours of traveling on broom, I stop by an old pub at the edge of the sea. I put down my cat Snowpaw and he hurries awayto do whatever cats do. I step into the pub, from which loud yells and music were coming. However, the moment I put my foot in, all noise dies down, and as I walk all eyes are following me. Eventually I am surrounded by four men. The term is "wizard" but their boorish attitude didn't quite fit that word.
"Oi, mates! If it ain't that big man Mandrake! Wot, you gotta job in the guv'ment, eh?" Says one, as the others laugh.
"Ooh, whatcha gonna do, report us?" said another, in a high-pitched voice.
"No," I say coldly. "I am here for some information."
"Well, ye ain't welcome here, yew idjit! Whatcha say, me boyos, should we have some fun wi' this un?" They cheer.
"Look, I don't want any trouble!" I say, but the four surrounding me pull out their wands. I see I have no choice but to fight. As one of them starts a spell, I shoot off a Stunner that sends him crashing into the bar. Immediately I turn to another one and kick a chair, bowling him right into the third man, and a quick Impediment Jinx knocks them out for the count. I hear something going on behind me and as I turn I see the fourth man pointing his wand at me, saying"Avada--"Then three things happen at once. He finishes the incantation just as some kind of hole rips behind him. It was as if the air itself was some kid of fabric, and it tore to reveal a swirling mass of colors. I jump away just as the green light passes right where I was standing, and I see a horrible hand-for that was what is looks like-grab his head. The man screams as the hand pulls him into the void and the air repairs itself, as if nothing had happened. I step briskly out of the bar, but my worst fears were confirmed. This was serious. I'm more determined than ever to fix this.
