Chapter 438
Harry is back!
This news is like a bomb, causing everyone preparing to stay at the pub overnight to run out from the second floor.
Of course, for those who didn't bring Jin Jialong, the overnight funds were sponsored by Jia Siting.
"My god! Harry, what happened to you! For nearly a month, we haven't received any of your replies."
Everyone sits around the dim, simple bar counter, and Luo En is the first to ask.
"I encountered a monster..."
Harry begins to describe everything he encountered, and everyone lets out exclamations from time to time.
Sean prepares to return to the Maige Villa; it is only ten o'clock, not particularly late.
However, before returning, Harry must be settled.
Luo En is the first to invite Harry, followed by Jia Siting and Neville.
However, after Harry looks at Sean, he ultimately chooses Luo En—Luo En is the first friend he made, and he always makes him feel more intimate.
Only then does Luo En realize it is already very late, and he hurriedly pulls Harry away from the Leaky Cauldron.
Then come Jia Siting and Hermione, whose parents are even waiting for them outside the pub.
Finally, Neville also disappears in the fireplace. Only then does Sean get on his broomstick, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
After the incident of rescuing Harry, everyone often writes to each other, and the living room of the Maige Villa is always filled with various owls flying in.
Sean doesn't pay attention to this, instead counting the days; soon it will be a month, and he is about to complete the first step of Animagus transformation.
But before that, the Fairy Tale Workshop will also welcome its second opening.
This morning.
Sean practices Transfiguration by the lake as usual; a stone is floated by him and then instantly transformed into a stone statue guard.
The height is still very low, not even three meters, which is much shorter than the stone statues mobilized by Professor McGonagall, which are four or five meters tall; moreover, Professor McGonagall's stone statues have reinforced characteristics, and they can jump down from several stories high without suffering any damage, which clearly cannot be done by ordinary stones.
Sean's stone statue guard cannot do such things.
He guesses that Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, even among masters, has surpassed the expert level, and a bit higher, it could almost touch the level of Headmaster Dumbledore.
When he practices until exhausted, his thoughts drift.
Dobby appears, which reminds him that the Basilisk is also about to be released from the Chamber of Secrets.
To make Basilisk cookies and block the danger, he needs at least the strength not inferior to the Basilisk.
The problem is, his strength... exactly what range is it in?
He hasn't experienced many battles; for the trolls and the professors' obstacles, he speed-ran them.
So it lost its reference value.
When the sunlight shines into the room, Sean slowly looks at Ma Kusi Maige, who is drinking tea.
He heard Professor McGonagall say that the old wizard Ma Kusi Maige was once an Auror.
For the young wizard's request to practice, Ma Kusi Maige cannot find a reason to refuse.
He even happily raises his beard.
Although the young wizard is gifted, he, Ma Kusi Maige, is a wizard who has served as an Auror.
After experiencing heartbreaking pain, he once shifted his anger into the struggle against the Dark Lord.
At that time, the Dark Lord was rising for the first time, and the Death Eaters were constantly committing atrocities, using various means of coercion and inducement to expand their power against many wizards, and gradually developed into open violence.
For those who blocked them, they even crazily used Unforgivable Curses to torture and kill; this terror also led to many innocent Muggles being killed in the name of "fun."
Facing this situation, Barty Crouch, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement under the Ministry of Magic, made an exception and ordered—allowing Aurors to use Unforgivable Curses on Death Eaters for interrogation.
It is conceivable how serious an impact Voldemort had at that time.
And he, Ma Kusi Maige, is an Auror who has fought and survived during these ten years.
The difference between him and current Aurors is that he has experienced the baptism of war and fought on the most dangerous battlefields.
Even after being injured, his strength hasn't regressed much.
The only pity is that he can't even find a successor.
He refuses to let his children go to those dangerous battlefields because he cannot experience that kind of bone-deep sorrow again.
But he also knows that if you love a child, you must teach him the ability to face danger, exercise his wings, and enable him to protect himself.
