After a long walk, I can see the Gaunt cabin

It is in very bad condition, it seems that a lot has happened in these 10 years.

When he entered the first thing I feel is a nauseating smell, I see a lot of disorder and dirt, it seems that it was abandoned.

"Is there someone at home?" shout just in case

I couldn't help but be surprised when it came out… That thing!

It looked like a very large monkey, its whole body was full of abundant brown hair and its smell was indescribable.

After looking at each other carefully I concluded that thing was probably my Uncle Morfin.

"Are you Morfin? What happened here" I asked

After a talk with Morfín I understood the things that had happened these years that I was locked up.

Old Marvolo was sentenced to a few months in prison and Morfin 3 years

When Morfin was released and was able to return to the cabin he found his father's body, or what was left of it

When he found out that his father had died, he made him release all his repressed madness since the highest authority of the family will no longer be present.

he doesn't know much about my mother, he found out that after we were all imprisoned the young man with whom he was in love mysteriously disappeared, but after 1 or 2 years he was seen again in the town.

From what I see, my mother's attempt did not work for long and her crush escaped

Now I find myself in a dilemma, staying to sleep in this house is out of the question, I prefer to sleep in a cell in Azkaban than in this pigsty and who knows if Morfin goes crazy and tries to do something to me

I have some ideas that I plan to try and Morfin will be my perfect test subject

But first I need to learn more spells, then I look in my room for the spellbook, it seems that all the books are where I left them and I decide to go to the forest where it all began.

After walking for a while I reached the forest, after 10 years I can still see the same makeshift table that I made back then, although it no longer works because of my height.

As it is late, I decided to use the chair trunk and bring it closer to the large tree that was nearby to sit at the same time that I lean against the tree to sleep for a while, it is not what I expected but hey.

The next day I got up early, before the sun rose, then I remembered again what my goals would be, those that I set myself to achieve while thinking about my time locked up.

My long-term goal will be to try and return to my universe, I don't even know if it's possible, but I will investigate when I am more proficient in magic.

my medium-term goal will be to be powerful enough to prevent someone from having the courage to try to upset me. Then I can focus on my magical experiments and achieve my long-term goal.

Finally in the short term I have to survive, I do not feel safe in this magical environment, there must be enough conspiracies between the magical families to cut me into 72 pieces.

I also have to change my plan, I did not think that the Gaunt family would be destroyed like that, I thought about asking Marvolo to lend me his new wand to practice, it seems that I will have to go find the wand that I hid so I can experiment with Morfin, I pray it's still in place

If I go out now I can come back before noon.

[A few hours later]

I am back in the forest, fortunately the wand and the money were still in the same place, it seems that I was lucky to see that hole in a brick of that house, after having covered it, it was also difficult to find it again, I had to search for it for almost 1 hour.

With the money I was able to have lunch in a restaurant, buy some bread and a chicken to carry out some experiments and why not also to eat.

The next step is to look for a spell that allows me to stun Morfin for a long time, but without killing him. After looking for a while I found something that could work, the Stunning charm or also called Stupefy, it seems that it stimulates the brain in such a way that it makes the person unconscious, but I'm not sure that this spell is what I'm looking for.

It would be annoying that while doing the experiments Morfin wakes up due to pain, and having to constantly cast the enchantment does not seem practical, it is also ruled out increasing the power of the spell, it is said that the death of the target may be caused if several magicians they cast the spell on the same person.

So I decided to look for other spells that might work.

After searching I found something that caught my attention, the cruciatus curse, dark magic.

Although the purpose of this curse is to torture the person, it is explained in the book that if used long enough on a person it can damage their brain and leave them stunned forever.

It seems more convenient than the desmaius spell, after deep thought I decided to try the cruciatus curse.

[a couple of hours later]

It does not seem that complicated to learn, and its way of casting is quite simple, what it seems is that the curse consumes a lot of magic energy but I will have to try it to be sure,

so I go up to the hen and point the wand at her and say, "Crucio"

Immediately I feel my magic energy shooting out of my wand towards the hen that is writhing in pain as it moves on the floor, I feel a line of magic energy form connecting us to the hen and me as I hold the spell, it seems that transports my magic energy to her body, after 10 seconds the hen stops screaming but her body continues to twist

20 seconds later the hen stopped moving and canceled the spell.

I feel a bit tired, I suspect that I can cast the spell for about 1 minute.

I go over to the hen and examine it carefully.

she still breathes which is important

Her eyes stare straight ahead, unfocused.

I decided to find a branch and stab one of her legs hard

It seems that he is in pain because his body is twisting a bit but he is not making noise which is good news.

Although I am still not sure of obtaining the same result with a human being, since they are larger and their body more complex, which will surely require the consumption of more magic.

Just in case I got a good size stone to crush the Morfin head if the curse doesn't get the result I expect and things get out of hand.

So I decide to rest because the night is approaching and I prefer to be full of energy because tomorrow will be quite a long day for me and probably for Morfin as well.

[the next day]

The sun hasn't risen yet and I'm heading to the Gaunts' cabin.

When I get closer again that nauseating smell permeates me and I decide to yell at Morfin

"Uncle Morfin I found clues about my mother"

After a while, Morfin comes out with a wand in hand while shouting many rude words against Merope.

"Uncle I found a person who claims to know the whereabouts of my mother, I have him held in the forest near home"

Before I even tell you where exactly he was, he sped off in the direction of the forest, it seems like he's pretty crazy for killing Merope.

After a while, we arrived at my place, while my uncle looked sideways in search of the person

while my back was to him, I took out the wand that was in my right pocket and while pointing at Morfin I said "Crucio"

Then Morfin falls to the ground while writhing in pain and screaming madly.

When about 30 seconds passed while I was holding the curse I feel like my magic power is quickly running out, about 10 or 15 seconds at most I will be able to hold on.

When he was about to finish cursing to grab the stone, Morfin stopped screaming and his movements on the ground became softer.

So I decide to hold on for 5 more seconds to be sure and stop conjuring, after a couple of deep sighs to get used to my lack of energy I approach Morfin.

After a few simple tests, I can determine that I achieved my goal, then while looking at my uncle, I smiled and said: "From tomorrow you and I will have a lot of fun uncle".
