After Halloween, the two consecutive days of revelry and various things at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry not only consumed too much energy for the teachers and students, but also allowed the little girl who had eaten too much of a big meal or something delicious to temporarily settle down.

She had just been diligent for two days, and after a public class, she became lazy again......

This is not?

When Dumbledore searched for a certain little girl, she was on the edge of the black lake at Hogwarts, under the shade of a large tree by the lake, lying lazily on the lawn against the trunk of the tree, basking in the afternoon sun slanting from among the leaves!

"Hello, Annie!"

"I've found you......"

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, and after seeing that the other party was not in shape, he took a few steps forward, stood beside the other party, and followed the other party's line of sight, and looked at the sparkling lake in the distance.

Today's weather is beautiful, sunny, cloudless and breezy......

But it's a pity that it's been a long time since Dumbledore has been able to bask in the sun and look at the scenery in such a place like this little girl...... After all, there were so many things that had bothered him lately, and even if he wanted to follow the example of Professor Anne, it would be an unattainable luxury to take a break by the lake after lunch, drink a butterbeer, and eat a few toffee finger cakes.

"Hi~!"

o(>▽<)o

"Good morning, old man Dumbledore......"

ヾ(???? `o)+

Anne greeted each other in a friendly manner, and then quickly turned her head away.

Soon after she got up, she stewed a large pot of beautiful fresh meat in her new crucible, and ate it directly, so now she urgently needed to lie down here lazily and eat, and did not want to do anything.

"Ah......h

Good morning?

Dumbledore subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky......

It was very dazzling, even through the thick leaves, the sunlight that slanted down from the branches and leaves made his presbyopia almost unable to open...... Obviously, it's already afternoon, at least fourteen o'clock, so what's so early?

However, Dumbledore quickly came to his senses and didn't intend to dwell too much on it.

Because, he's heard of a little girl's bad schedule, and now that the other party says that, he must have just gotten up, right? It's no wonder, no wonder he couldn't find each other no matter how much he looked for them at lunch......

"Anne ......"

"What are you doing now? Is it resting or basking in the sun? ”

Before explaining his intentions, Dumbledore wanted to chat and have a conversation with the other party, as the scenery was so good that he wanted to be able to stay here a little longer.

"Not really!"

（?? ▽?? ）

"People just wondered, should they catch those little fish in the lake? But they had already had 'breakfast' just now, and now their stomachs are still very full, and they don't want to move at all, so they have been a little hesitant......"

?? （?? `▽????) ╭??

“……”

"Huh?!"

Following the direction of the little girl's finger, it took Dumbledore a moment to see the schools of fry in the shallow waters of the lake, about the thickness of a little finger......

"Those little fish, what do you do with them? It doesn't seem to be useful, and it's not very nice to raise, right? ”

Dumbledore couldn't understand Professor Anne's thoughts, but he was relieved after thinking about it.

Because he knows that the other party is still just a little girl in fact, and it is normal for his thinking to be divergent and have some ideas that are not the same as normal adults.

"Old Dumbledore, you know what?"

(??????????)

"People have caught that kind of small fish of about the same size before, caught a lot of them and kept them in buckets, and then one day, they had a whim, I don't know what will happen if they keep small fish in milk? Maybe, because the nutritional value of milk is very high, it will definitely raise the little fish for nothing, and you don't have to bother feeding them every day? ”

(*^▽^*)

"And then ah......"

(?? ⊙?? ⊙`)

"They really did that, kept them all in a big glass tank of pure milk, and kindly injected them with oxygen......

<( ̄) ̄) ↗ Yay!

Little Anne has always been a man of action, especially when she is curious, she always does what comes to mind, so she directly tells what she has done.

"And then?"

"How's they doing?"

Dumbledore smiled and asked, following the other's words.

Because he knew that there was no way for the little fish to survive in milk, and that they needed the kind of water that was not very clean...... Although he hadn't tried it himself, he could almost guess that the poor little fish who were being manipulated like that little girl would definitely not be better.

"Hmmm......"

(≧︶≦*)

"At first it was fine, the little fish were alive and kicking, but after a while, they behaved very unwell, looked sick, and seemed to be about to die......

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Then people were kind and fished them out!!"

(灬??) ω?? 灬)

"And then? Are they alive? ”

Dumbledore asked curiously, it was the first time he had heard of raising fish with milk, but he knew that it must not be able to be raised, so he only hoped that the poor little animals would be saved by this little girl?

"No ......"

(lll￢ω￢)

"Why?"

Although he had already prepared a little in his heart, when he heard that the little girl had not been able to save the little fish, Dumbledore still smiled and continued to ask.

"Because ......"

(???? ω????)

"They took advantage of the fact that they were not dead, so they quickly wrapped them in breadcrumbs and fried them in olive oil until they were golden brown on both sides...... Don't even say it, old man Dumbledore, their fried fish in milk is delicious!! ”

(╯▽╰) really fragrant~~

Anne's saliva couldn't help but drip down when she thought of the correct way to eat the small fish she had accidentally found back then..... but unfortunately, now that she had just eaten enough, she really couldn't stuff any extra stuff into it, so she could only temporarily extinguish the idea of catching those small fish in the lake, and planned to fight them another day?

“……”

Dumbledore's cheek twitched......

Now he doesn't know what to say...... Perhaps, this old man is really old, and he can't catch up with the ideas of these young people at all?

"That's right!"

"Annie, I would like to congratulate you in advance: because the 'Barrier' spell you taught yesterday has proven to be effective against the Unforgivable Spell, especially the 'Avada Suo' Protective Spell, the Ministry of Magic is preparing to officially promote it and recognize your achievements as appropriate......"

"I think you'll soon be a Hogwarts professor with a Merlin medal!!"

Dumbledore, who didn't plan to dwell too much on that kind of brainteaser, after crying and laughing for a while, hurriedly talked about one of the several important things he had come to find the other party.

Now, with the publication of the new day's Daily Prophet and the fact that a little girl's magical images and photographs during class have been moved to the front pages of the newspapers, all the wizards in the wizarding world of Britain are now on the verge of blowing up.

Because, this is the only protective spell that has so far proven to be true and effective, capable of fighting the Unforgivable Curse!

Dumbledore didn't know exactly how far this matter would evolve in the future, but, judging from the information he knew, at the latest, in a year or half a year at the latest, the little girl in front of him would definitely become the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in British history, and there would be no one!

"Oh......"

o(?? ^｀)o

Little Anne just replied lightly, indicating that she knew and turned her head directly.

Obviously, she didn't pay much attention to those things, because ah, the reason why she taught the 'barrier' spell was only for some ulterior purpose, and she didn't care about the consequences or unexpected benefits and honors that would be caused by it!

Because of the medal or something, that kind of thing might as well be more realistic than making her a few delicious meals, or giving her a few rare and edible magical animals?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

“……”

Unexpectedly, in the face of this kind of good news, this little girl still didn't care at all, which couldn't help but make Dumbledore touch his nose a little embarrassed, and for a while he was a little unsure of what was going on in the other party's little head.

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

"Old man Dumbledore, is there anything else you can do?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)？

Little Anne, who continued to lie comfortably on the ground, ready to think about what to eat tonight, saw that some strange old man was still standing beside her, and still had no idea of leaving, she couldn't help but open her eyes again in confusion and look at the old face of the other party.

"Hmm......"

"That's right, the Triwizard Tournament has been settled now, but I'm still a little worried about Hermione......"

Last night, after the Halloween party, after urgent negotiations between Dumbledore, Lady Maxime, Headmaster Karkaroff, and Mr. Crouch of the Ministry of Magic, they finally had to compromise with the effect of the ancient contract magic of the Goblet of Fire, and decided to turn the 'Triwizard Tournament' into the 'Four-wizard Tournament' and continue that great event!

So, starting today, it's a given, whether anyone disagrees or disagrees, that fourth-year and fourteen-year-old Hermione Granger and Harry Potter will become the Warriors of Hogwarts and compete in the Triwizard Tournament! However, Dumbledore was still a little worried about which of his two students, so for some details, he planned to have a good discussion with the little girl in front of him who participated in the question?

"What's wrong with her?"

(，?? ▽??，)？

"I'm worried that she might be a little incompetent and inexperienced, and I'm afraid that she might not be able to handle it...... You know, she's a little too young compared to the other players? ”

To be honest, if Harry's selection was expected by Dumbledore, then the selection of Hermione Granger's little girl was really unexpected...... Therefore, there are some things that he must explain clearly to the initiator in front of him now.

"Oh!"

(*￣△￣*)

"But, old man Dumbledore, do you think it's better to worry about that Harry Potter? Because, ah, his ability is the worst one, and if something goes wrong at that time, he must be the one who dies the worst?! ”

(￢д￢。 )

"This ......"

Get!

As soon as the other party said this, Dumbledore didn't know how to discuss with the other party the things he originally planned to follow that should not be passed on.

“……”

（?????????? ）

"Hey! Dumbledore, that Potter thing, you must have done it on purpose, right? ”

(??????????????)

“？？”

"Why do you ask?"

Dumbledore was suddenly a little surprised, because he had been very secretive about Harry's selection, and he had not participated in it at all, so how did the little guy in front of him notice it?

"That Professor Moody'......"

?? 乛?? 乛??

“！！”

"Hehe, Annie, the weather is so nice today, this location you chose is really good......"

Dumbledore, who wasn't going to break something, began to talk about him, as if he wasn't going to say more about Moody?

“……”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

"That's right! Old man Dumbledore, why did Hagrid's horses suddenly disappear today? ”

o(?? ω??) o

Although, this kind of saying has the meaning of a weasel going to the chicken to pay New Year's greetings...... However, little Anne still pretended to be very curious and asked.

"What Malaysia?"

Dumbledore, who couldn't grasp a little girl's out-of-the-box thinking, couldn't react at all for a while.

"Oh! You mean the Pegasi from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? ”

"It's a pity......"

"You probably don't know that Lady Maxime dislikes Hagrid and our Hogwarts not being able to take care of them, so she asked the groom to go back with them early, and maybe won't pick her and her students back until after the Triwizard Tournament is over?"

Speaking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.

Because, so far, he has not been able to find the missing magical beast and any clues related to it! Perhaps, only his old friend Newt was an expert in the study and tracking of that kind of magical beasts?

However, he didn't have the idea of asking his old friend to come forward to help, because it would be just a trivial matter, and if a Pegasus was lost, it would be lost, and besides, they Hogwarts had already made amends, and that matter was over, and there was no need to continue to investigate.

"Oh......"

(??????????) Ha!

"Well, people just wondered why they didn't see Hagrid let their beautiful horses fly......

ε=(?? ο'*))) Alas

What a pity......

Are those people so nervous? And they were so cunning that they just lost a Pegasus, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly brought it back and hid it, so that she couldn't take a look if she wanted to?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Ahem......"

"Anne ......"

Dumbledore, who was accidentally diverted from the topic by the other party, thought about it and simply sat down on the grass next to the other party. He was going to stay a little longer, and to discuss some things with the other party anyway.

——————

In the Auror office of Rufus Scrimgeur, who has a tough style and has always advised extreme measures against dark wizards and Death Eaters, the Aurors from the Magical Congress of the United States from across the ocean have arrived and are discussing something with the heads of the Auror office of the British Ministry of Magic.

'Everyone! ’

Now it's pretty much clear that this is indeed a smuggling case of a bad nature, a criminal chain that belongs to the dark wizards, so we must take them down! ’

'Tomorrow, their cargo will arrive in the port of London......

'Unfortunately, we weren't able to find out who their upline was, because they were cautious and used owls to communicate......

'Even if we had a legitimate interception of owls, we would only know that they would trade in one place......

An Auror from the Ministry of Magic held a document to report to the officials present and the Aurors from North America on the other side of the Atlantic, and quickly laid out a general overview of the information.

'Where to trade?' ’

'Hogsmeade! ’

‘……’

'That's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's territory, how could they go there to trade?' ’

'Maybe it's because of seclusion? ’

'Humph! Probably......

'Tsk! ’

I would like to ask, how are they going to transport those animals to Hogsmeade? ’

'It should be the flying carriage of Broomsticks and Thestrals!' ’

'Are you sure?' ’

'Sure! Because our people found their transport at the pier! But unfortunately, they are cunning, and we did not find any more of them than those wizards who escorted the goods. ’

‘……’

'Excellent! ’

'Keep an eye on them, don't act rashly, we can go to Hogwarts in advance to set things up, just now that the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, the Ministry of Magic needs to send someone to take care of the safety of the warriors who are running, this is our chance!' ’

'This time, we must catch that buyer and those dark wizards!' ’

'Yes! ’

'Understood, sir! ’

'Who else has anything to add?' ’

'Me! ’

'Your Excellency! What we want to say is......'

Soon, under the discussion between the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic and the Aurors from the American Congress of Magic and Magic, a large net against Hogsmeade began to open, ready to catch the prey that was about to fall into the 'heaven and earth net' they had woken.
