The situation became clear to Clifford. It could only be a mugging.
He expected as much when the fog first came. Poor visibility and therefore victim awareness, complications for Law Enforcement due to lack of magic, and equal footing for low-lives and exceptional wizards in terms of personal defense. It was only a matter of time until crimes in Hogsmeade skyrocketed, Clifford thought. But even at his most pessimistic he couldn’t imagine thugs attacking a child. The healer clenched his fists so that knuckles went white, but soon relaxed, reminding himself that anger was a sin. But the situation was so outraging that Magical Jesus would probably forgive him at this moment of weakness, he hoped,
”Can you please check your belongings? Is anything missing?” Clifford asked. He was going to write a letter to the Department of Law Enforcement and wanted as much details as possible. Perhaps it would even be possible to track the thug by the things he had stolen. Clifford also hoped that an attack on a child could start a decriminalization crusade in Hogsmeade. To make Slums and Pennyworth less appalling to Jesus.
