#16 – Thievery of Food

Lucius shot spell after spell at his pursuer, as he attempted to run away after stealing unimaginable amounts of loaves of bread for his family. He was hungry, and so was his family, and this was the only way to feed them. “Impedimentum!” he cried out, aiming his wand at the man who was chasing him. So far he had not been able to aim correctly, as the man was still capable of catching up to him. “Impedimentum! IMPEDIMENTUM!” he yelled. And suddenly, the man yelled back.

“Oi!! Stop using the Impedimenta spell on me! I’m only after you because I want to help you! Stop! Wait!” he yelled out, slowing down, and attempting to catch his breath. Lucius continued to run, and started running at a faster pace now that he had seen that his last attack worked. And then, he stopped abruptly, only to realize that the man had just said he wanted to help. “I got cheese! And butter! And meat! A good meal for you and whoever else you got to feed!” the man yelled out. Lucius turned around and slowly took a few steps toward the man, watching as he, too, began walking towards him.
