While I am at the entrance to Andre's room I keep quiet to listen for any noise inside the room

After a minute of waiting and not hearing anything, there is no one of mine near either, that's when I proceed to enter the room

Inside it is like any other room, with a bed, a desk, and a closet

on the desk is a cage with an owl

He is my target

It seems that Andre likes to show off his owl a lot, based on what I have heard in the hallways, it was given to him by his parents when he was five years old.

Since then they have been inseparable, until today

He walked slowly towards the desk he spoke to the owl "hello little friend how are you"

The owl when hearing noise looks at me, or well, looks in my direction because he cannot see me, something silly of me

I take the owl's cage and put it on the bed, it looks like a pretty quiet owl because it doesn't make any noise, I imagine you are thinking about why his cage moves if no one is there

After putting the cage on the bed I open the gate, the owl nevertheless stayed inside, I thought it would come out of the cage

Nevermind, it's time to use the spell

This is one of the spells that he considers super important to learn and which in a surprising way I was able to perform in a single attempt

I feel like I have a connection somehow to this spell, but I can't identify or express it in any way

With Morfin's wand in my hands and while pointing at the owl I say in a low voice

"AVADA KEDAVRA"

Immediately A green light comes out of the wand and hits the owl, who collapses in his lifeless cage

After a few seconds of looking at the dead owl, he took it out of the cage and placed it on the bed with its wings spread.

Then he placed the cage on the desk and I check that he has not left anything that could incriminate me

Finding nothing, I take one last look at my work before I go

Not bad I thought

At first, I had the idea of ​​nailing it to the wall with its wings outstretched, then I realized that I have neither a hammer nor nails, besides the noise could attract someone

I used the simplest option, which was to leave him in bed lying

I go to the door and I don't hear anything, I go out into the corridor and I don't see anyone, so I went to my room to put the wand in the same place.

I do not meet anyone and he entered my room without a problem, put away Morfin's wand, and then I go to the common room to go to the library

There is no one in the common room, it seems that the girl left

I say the password and leave, while I go to the library I think about what I just did and its consequences

The least important will be Andre's reaction, if he's a little smart he'll probably think it was me

He can react in many ways but no option that really worries me

he can try to attack me or tell a teacher he suspicious of me

The next will be the reaction of the school, probably a scandal will happen, surely nobody really cares about the owl, but the action of murdering him implies that the person who did it can also murder a student, which should be unacceptable and would put in danger to all

I will certainly be the main suspect, because of the problems I have with him, also because of my background, but they have no evidence against me, so they can do little to me.

I'm in the library as an alibi, the librarian saw me

If you check my wand, I have not cast the curse with it

The AVADA KEDAVRA curse is supposed to have a certain complexity and is not something a wizard my age can normally perform.

The reaction of the school in principle does not worry me much either, it is not as if I want to continue killing someone else, I am sending a warning

I am interested in knowing how the person behind all this will react, he should understand that I am not afraid to kill and I also have the resources to do it, he must become cautious because this time it was an owl, but the next one may be an heir to a wizard family

That is why the murderous curse seemed perfect to me, the book explains that magicians can identify a person who died from this curse

although in this case, it is an animal, I suspect that the same idea can be applied

For this reason, I think it is perfect to send a message, more than even the dead owl

If these people get involved in continuing to bother, we may have serious problems and I should rethink my situation while thinking of other solutions

the ideal option is for them to get scared and leave me alone, although I doubt it

But in the end, they are just speculations, when it happens I will act according to the situation that comes my way.

I reached the door of the library, I entered without a problem, she librarian is still in her seat reading a book.

I walk in the direction of where I left my book and I see that it is still in the same place, canceled the Delussion enchantment, everything is correct, it is time to continue studying

more than 1 hour has passed and there has been no strange movement, they may not have found the owl yet, it is time to go to my potions class

I leave the library with my potions book and head to the dungeons, where the potions classroom is located

I arrived a little before 2 in the afternoon, there are some students in the classroom

this classroom is different from the rest, most classes have a vertical focus like any normal classroom, but the potions classroom is horizontally focused

There are two large horizontal tables that go almost from side to side of the classroom, diagonal to the tables is a lectern and the teacher's desk, there is also a board in front of the tables.

I sit in the middle of the table in front, next to my partner Filius.

we talked for a while about potions while we waited for Professor Horace Slughorn

At 2 p.m., professor Horace arrived and as he entered he said

"Good afternoon, I'm glad to have you all at the first potions practice today, I suspect that some of you will be excited but before I start I will give you some recommendations and reminders before you go to practice"

while looking at the students, the man frowned as he asked, "Why don't I see young Andre?"

nobody answered

"Well, the dynamics for this class will be the following, on your right side there are some shelves with the ingredients to prepare the potion, what potion will you wonder, will it be the Cure for Boils that you will make today, page 5 of your book"

"In addition to identifying the correct ingredients to make the potion, they must also follow the steps to create it"

"Before starting I remind you that the choice of your ingredients is crucial for creating a good potion, you must be careful with the way you use them when adding them to the cauldron, and last but not least, you must identify them correctly the phases in which your concoction is and what is the right time to continue adding the ingredients "

"For now those are the instructions, ah, I almost forgot, they will create the potion in groups of 2 students. I will be watching everything you do, choose one of the 2 to choose their ingredients and you can go start"

Filius and I look at each other

I am really interested in potions but I think it is a branch of magic in which you have to invest too much time, time that I do not have at the moment because I am focused on spells and clairvoyance, who believes that by following the instructions of a book can be good at creating potions it's just a fool, maybe in the future I can focus on potions but now is not the right time

From what I see, Filius does not seem overly enthusiastic about the subject of potions, although I do not doubt his intelligence and dedication to the classes I think it would be better if I went to choose the ingredients.

in the end, whenever you want to do something well you must do it yourself

"Am I going so we can finish quickly?" I told

"No problems" Filius answered me

as I head to the ingredients table I remember what to grab for the potion

4 horned slugs

2 porcupine quills

6 non-venomous snake fangs

While I was choosing the necessary ingredients, the classroom door opened, as I turned to look who it was, I see a man enter, walking slowly, he went towards the teacher, with white hair and a small beard, whispering in his ear to Professor Horace

"Albus Dumbledore, the transfiguration teacher, I imagine he will come to talk about the dead owl, it makes sense because Master Horace is the head of the Slytherin house.
