Chapter 27

Dali, who is Dali?

Fujii looked around with doubt, while Dengbulido's gaze had already fallen on Dali.

Blue eyes behind half‑moon glasses stared at Dali, as if trying to see through him.

Half‑reclining on the sofa, Dali almost rolled his eyes; Hagrid, whether early or late, brought up the matter at this moment, which simply drove him crazy.

Dali, what did you discover?

Dengbulido walked slowly over, stopped in front of Dali, and asked.

Dali De Si Li, Harry's cousin, is the son of the aunt's family where Harry stays, someone beside Fujii explained.

At this moment, everyone finally noticed the little boy. He looked much sturdier than Harry, with golden hair and sharply defined cheekbones, though his complexion was somewhat pale now.

The two share few similarities; without knowing their cousin relationship, it would be hard to link them together.

I'm not sure either; after I went underground, I constantly felt someone watching us, but the feeling wasn't strong at first. Until we were at vault 713, I felt a sharp unease and told La Huan to check it out, who knows…

Dali's complexion turned pale, and his voice lowered as he reached the end of his sentence.

Feeling that someone is watching, what is this situation?

Fujii frowned.

The others also looked at each other, not knowing how to explain the situation.

They weren't doubting Dali; after all, he's only an eleven‑year‑old who had never even touched Magic before, so no one could suspect him, but the situation Dali described truly left many baffled.

I've heard that some people are born more sensitive and can detect dangers others cannot; could this be such a case?

【7】 Yuehan hesitated briefly, then spoke.

Yuehan hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

It's possible; in the Magic World, such cases have occurred. I recall reading in a book about a wizard who could foresee danger and evade it precisely each time, someone said.

Or perhaps a strong intuition? For example, being able to unconsciously predict upcoming dangers, another person said.

Everyone brainstormed, trying to explain Dali's experience.

Only Dengbulido kept staring at Dali without speaking.

Are you sure there's no other feeling besides the sense of being watched?

After a long while, once everyone stopped speculating, Dengbulido finally asked again.

I also felt a slight hint of danger, though I don't know why I have that feeling, Dali said.

See, I told you, some people are born with a premonition of danger.

The wizard who spoke earlier said again.

Fortunately this child sensed the danger; otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable, Fujii said, his face looking grim.

In this incident, a fairy died; although it caused a stir, at least the impact could be contained.

If Harry Potter had been killed here, the entire Magic World would probably have descended into chaos.

Because that would mean that person might have returned.

Even if not, it would cast a huge shadow over everyone's hearts, reminding all of that extremely dark period that no one now wishes to recall.

The group didn't linger on the issue, as there was indeed nothing to investigate.

After asking two more questions, Fujii left with the Ministry of Magic officials.

Once you've rested, go shop; now Diagon Alley should be the safest, Dengbulido said to Harry and Dali before departing.

Thank you, Professor Dengbulido.

Dali and Harry said in unison.

An hour later.

The now‑recovered Dali and Harry met Vernon and Penny in the Gulingge lobby.

Both looked somewhat pale; they sensed the previous mysterious authority, and being in the Magic World surrounded by fairies, they were on the brink of collapse.

Especially since Dali had been gone so long and hadn't returned yet, which worried them even more.

Later, many wizards suddenly entered; as some passed by them, they felt much better, otherwise they would have probably screamed and fled.

Oh, my Dada little baby, why did you stay away so long? Mom is almost frantic.

Penny saw Dali, hurried over, and cradled him in her arms.

Mom, I'm fine.

Dali tried to break free but ultimately failed.

Did something happen here? I feel… Vernon frowned, looking at Hagrid, trying to ask.

Nothing much, it's just that there are a lot of people at Gulingge today, so we have to queue to withdraw money, Harry said quickly.

Is that so?

Vernon frowned again, with no further suspicion.

When leaving Gulingge, Dali could clearly feel that many more wizards were present, and even outside in Diagon Alley, several highly alert, powerful wizards had appeared.

These are the Ministry of Magic wizards? Official wizards, Dali guessed in his mind.

Penny anxiously watched the oddly dressed wizards around her, her expression becoming increasingly distressed.

Why did so many people suddenly appear? What exactly happened?

Vernon also noticed something was off.

Previously Diagon Alley also had many wizards, but never like this; everyone's complexion seemed off, many hurried along, and the previous leisure and prosperity were gone.

Hagrid, is there anywhere here we can have a drink? Uh… something a Muggle can accept, Dali asked, adding a request.

After all, the Leaky Cauldron before was really not something to commend.

Oh, I know a dessert shop where we can have something to drink, Hagrid said.

Hmm, lead us there.

Dali was afraid that continuing to wander with his parents would eventually cause them to collapse.

After finding that dessert shop, Dali ordered something, settled his parents, and then walked out together with Harry.

"Next, we're going to buy Hogwarts school uniforms."

Harry glanced at the list and said.

"Alright, I'll take you there—to Mojin Furen's robe specialty shop; that's where I bought my school uniform," Hagrid said, and set off with the two of them.

Hogwarts school uniforms must be tailor‑made, and aside from the tape measure that automatically records the dimensions, there was nothing in the whole process that felt novel to the two.

"So, next, would you like to buy books first, or get a wand first?"

After leaving the robe specialty shop, Hagrid asked.

Harry and Dali's eyes both lit up.

"Wand!" the two said in unison.
