Not long after Christmas, another major incident shook the European wizarding world.
A third master wandmaker, as renowned as Ollivander and Grigoriovich, was suddenly found murdered in his home, with the Dark Mark appearing above the roof.
Soon afterward, several more wandmakers mysteriously vanished, throwing the entire European wizarding world into a state of panic. The shadow named Voldemort once again loomed over the wizards of every European country. People feared that murderous madman, and feared even more that he might suddenly appear on their doorstep.
Wizards in every country strongly demanded that their respective Ministries of Magic take action to stop Voldemort's reign of terror, but their pleas received no response. Voldemort was simply too dangerous. The tragic deaths of that earlier group of Aurors were still fresh in everyone's minds. The higher-ups in every Ministry worried that taking action would yield nothing and even lead to more Aurors dying, so they chose to ignore the public's cries and bury their heads in the sand to cut their losses.
In truth, Voldemort had not intended to make such a mess of things.
Those wandmakers were simply too useless. Not one of them knew what the golden spell connecting the two wands that night had been. Even the third master wandmaker, as famous as Ollivander and Grigoriovich, had failed to figure it out. Worse still, the man had tried to casually make up an excuse to fob him off, so Voldemort, who had been in a bad mood at the time, sacrificed him.
His entire family went with him. Not one was left behind.
Unwilling to give up, Voldemort went on to seize quite a few more renowned wandmakers.
Those who could not answer his questions collectively met their end before the enraged Dark Lord.
Thanks to Voldemort's ridiculous antics,
