In a dark corner of London.
Philip was running at high speed as he realized that someone was following in his footsteps, something he could see thanks to one of the creatures that was accompanying him on his journey on his way to take the letter to the "dwarf".
The creature being a sort of bluish reptile was able to see through the stealth spell of the pursuer, something a wizard would not have been able to see if it were not for special artifacts for this.
The mini lizard was in the front pocket of Philip's tunic changes its tail color depending on what it wants to communicate to its wearer. Philip saw that for the first time in his entire journey, the lizard changed its tail color to a reddish one and proceeded to be faster and more elusive in order to lose the person who was following him.
Philip, aware of the risk of losing that letter, went ahead without stopping or hesitating for a second, when he saw the tracker he could see that all the paths he could take were going to the same place... to the Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Philip's first thought was to decide that it was suddenly a professor or one of the employees of the great castle of Hogwarts, nothing could be further from the reality that he does not know.
Philip despite dodging through crowds of people in the subway and traveling with the dust flowing from side to side was almost impossible to get away from this guy, so much so that only left only one way and that was to fight against this guy who followed him so persistently.
Philip intelligently or suicidally went into a dark alley, where there were only garbage containers. And a few sewer rats looking for food waste.
"Alright come out from wherever you're hiding, I know you're here," says Philip with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Jo I didn't expect you to be looking for such a direct confrontation"- says a man who immediately becomes visible in front of him.
"What do you want, what are you looking for?" says Philip as he quickly pulls out his wand and points it at the man whose face is obscured by the darkness.
"You know what I'm looking for, what you're carrying there belongs to us, and apparently you took it," says the man as he gets closer and closer to the light.
"This doesn't belong to you and even less to her, you won't find her, I won't allow it, you'll have to step over my corpse," Philip affirms as he steps back as the man advances towards him.
Slowly a small opening through which the moonlight passes, reveals the man who was chasing Philip. A tall and corpulent man, with a totally dark suit, bald and dark-skinned, and with a scar on his face, more precisely on his right eye that is white in its entirety, someone who imposes fear just by looking at him.
"Don't get upset man, I have been a little rude to follow you without having introduced myself, my name is Filvor one of the best hunters in this country, so let's save ourselves the trouble, give me that, and tell me where to find the creature so that no one will get hurt."- indicates Filvor the hunter.
"I think you'll have to catch up with me for that."- says Philip moments before a great roar is heard in the sky making the hunter lower his guard for an instant, an instant in which Philip casts a spell so that Filvor falls to the ground shot against one of the containers.
Philip uses a spell to propel himself and jump far enough so that the creature hovering in the skies catches him with its legs and flies him out of the place.
"See you Filvor it was a pleasure, I am Philip from now on known as the prey you will never have."- Philip says confident that he will finally get rid of Filvor the hunter.
Filvor the hunter stands up from the trash and stares as Philip slowly walks away from the location they were at a moment ago.
Filvor turns and heads for the first phone booth he sees on the street and proceeds to place a call.
"My lord... everything went according to plan, I will proceed with the second phase of the plan"- Filvor says as he gets a macabre smile on his face.
"So the prey I could not hunt... I want to see how long you will keep that ideal, Philip"- Filvor finished before getting lost in the darkness again.
Philip meanwhile flew over the skies without knowing that he was still being watched. A bird that at first glance looks like a normal bird, allowed Filvor to follow the passage in the heights where he was Philip, the bird has the same scar that Filvor has on his right eye but unlike what one would believe regarding a loss of vision, it shares the vision with Filvor through a bond created based on the loss of his eye, allowing Filvor to see everything that the bird sees from the heights. A procedure that helps Filvor become known among the Mortifagi as the man who sees on Earth as he does in the sky.

Hogwarts- 4 days after admission
In these days I had the opportunity to have different classes to tell the truth it doesn't change much to the learning scheme in my old academy, they are pretty easy classes to manage, so I take advantage of every little space I have to go to a hidden practice area that Patrick found.
I have also talked more with Patrick, after potions class I was very curious how someone so young had so much knowledge about potions, even if he was not good with spells he had the quality of learning faster about potions and other subjects than even I expected.
Patrick comes from an alchemist family, so much of his childhood as he was growing up he was seeing how to create potions and elixirs that will help wizards in dungeon exploration or in their daily lives. Although he still lacks some things he is quite good for his age, On the other hand, Phylicia has become more attached to us, her behavior is still violent, even more so against Patrick, their fights became part of my days here.
Phylicia although a bit distracted is more good at practicing spells unlike Patrick, her spells are powerful and accurate, and although sometimes we have taken risks Patrick and I have been able to understand her power a bit more.
I don't know where in the world they were before or if they were still alive after the great calamity, but I know that from now on they will be of great help to me, not only for me but for everyone in the coming future.
As for the gem, it has not bothered me throughout these days, I thought that when I cast a spell with the power it could activate or something related to that but nothing really happened, iolita on the first day, on the other hand, escaped from the cage before arriving to the room, really neither the managers know how it was possible but she managed to escape.
When I arrived at the room iolita was nowhere to be found, but while I was sleeping she appeared at one moment to another on my chest to sleep. Nothing flashy has happened with her so far either, so I guess everything is fine.
The only annoying thing are the three bullies that bothered Patrick and me in the wagons, they are constantly throwing water balls, setting traps, or making mischief to annoy us, although since we found the place to train it has diminished that constant interruption from them.
For now, the days go by quietly, and nothing has gotten out of control, I have spent much of my time training and improving my magic ability and control of this to be able to advance faster with magic, and also to reach the level I had before returning here.
If I can reach that level before the 3rd year I could start the process of recruiting more people for what is coming. In addition, of course, to begin the search for the Horcrux, the soul fragments that were responsible for the destruction of almost the entire magical and muggle world.
