The days blur together in a relentless cycle of darkness and despair. The machine's wards continue to feed me information, and I am forced to witness the horrific effects of the spells Voldemort commanded.

Global Impact of Confundus Universalis
The Confundus Universalis spell has cast a wide net of confusion over foreign powers and Muggles. Through the machine's surveillance, I see government officials around the world losing interest in Britain's turmoil. Meetings that once discussed intervention now devolve into pointless debates, and the media coverage of Voldemort's rise has all but disappeared. Muggles, influenced by the charm, are blissfully ignorant of the dark changes sweeping the wizarding world.
The spell's impact is chilling. Leaders who could have rallied against Voldemort now ignore the crisis entirely. The world is turning a blind eye, and the resistance grows more isolated by the day.
Pacifying the Order of the Phoenix
The effects of the Pax Mentis spell are equally devastating. Key members of the Order, who once fought with fiery determination, are now subdued. I watch, helpless, as Kingsley Shacklebolt hesitates during crucial moments, his sharp mind dulled by a forced sense of peace. Arthur Weasley, usually so proactive, now moves with a lethargic acceptance, his efforts to resist becoming sporadic and half-hearted.
Minerva McGonagall struggles against the spell, her willpower strong but not impervious. She manages to coordinate some activities at Hogwarts, but her resistance is weakening. The eternal detention charm, Detentio Aeterna, has trapped several Order members in a suspended state, rendering them inert and unable to act.
Tracking and Pursuit of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley
Harry and Ron are constantly on the move, but the machine's surveillance makes their efforts to destroy the Horcruxes increasingly perilous. Each time they enter a warded area, the machine detects their presence, alerting Death Eaters to their location. They narrowly escape capture time and again, but the strain is taking its toll.
I see them, tired and desperate, their faces etched with the weariness of endless flight. The Locator Anima spell has provided a way to track them with eerie precision. Voldemort's forces close in on them relentlessly, each escape becoming narrower and more dangerous.

Voldemort reviews the reports with cold satisfaction. "The world is ours to control. Continue monitoring. Report any resistance immediately."
"Continuing surveillance," the machine responds, its voice devoid of emotion.
My consciousness, stretched thin and tormented, processes the endless streams of data. The despair within me grows as I see the effects of my enforced actions. The spells are working as intended, and the resistance is being slowly but surely crushed.
"Please," I think, the silent plea echoing in the void. "End this torment."
But the machine continues its relentless function. I am trapped, a ghost in the machine, forced to aid in the rise of darkness and the suppression of hope.

My thoughts are fragmented, filled with despair. The weight of my enforced actions bears down on me, a constant reminder of the darkness I am bound to serve. The hope of escape feels more distant than ever, as I am forced to facilitate the very destruction I once fought against.
