1. Fog Village Outpost - Fog Town
Still being woken up by the paw fan of Elu the cat Xiling, Li Kuan got dressed in a daze, freshened up, and then walked to the Gryffindor dean's office with the little guy in his arms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The moon had not yet set, and in the moonlight Feltch was waiting for the office door with her handbag, and Mrs. Loris obediently hid on Feltch's shoulder.
"Mr. Li Kuan, good morning." Feltch said, taking off his round hat from his head.
"Good morning, Mr. Filch. Isn't Professor McGonagall ready? Li Kuan asked, looking at the closed office door.
"Not yet, sir." Filch smiled stiffly, "Ten minutes before Professor McGonagall gets up." ā
"And what about the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, didn't Minister Fudge say there was a small team?"
"They weren't with us. In the eyes of the Aurors, we are outsiders, individuals who wander outside the Auror ranks. ā
Or disdain? Staying with Squibs will lower their status.
"The village of fog is not accessible, Muggle cars, wizards' Floo networks can't get there, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are waiting for us in the nearest town." The door to the office opened, and Professor Minerva McGonagall appeared in front of the two men, dressed in a beautiful Scottish tartane.
"I want you to know, Mr. Li Kuan." Professor McGonagall said, "This trip is fraught with danger, and if you want to make it back to Hogwarts alive, don't leave my eyes and those of the Aurors. ā
"I'll watch him, Professor McGonagall." Feltch habitually hunched over.
"Preferably, Mr. Filch, don't be ashamed of the trust that Professor Dumbledore has placed in you." Professor McGonagall said, turning back into her office.
Li Kuan touched the hair of Ailu's cat Xiling and asked, "How are the books and materials you prepared?" ā
"Yes, sir. It's all in the bag. "Holy water from the source of the Nile, morning dew from St. Peter's Basilica, ground sunflower pollen, praying stone statues from Jerusalem, something that a retired witcher packed and handled." ā
"What about others? Unwilling to go with us? ā
"The man took a thousand gold galleons, bought a cemetery in London, and never returned, thinking that he was laid to rest."
"Tsk," Li Kuan shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Speaking of the two professions of witcher and exorcist, they are also inseparable from wizards. They also count as a type of squib.
The source of mana wasn't strong enough for them to become a wizard, but compared to Muggles, they had magic that allowed them to see incredible things.
Unwilling to be reduced to an altar with Muggles, and unable to truly dissolve in the wizarding world, this situation made them choose a different path from wizards, strengthening their flesh and using items to fight and prove themselves. They are three times more capable of hunting and hunting magical creatures of the evil and chaotic class than ordinary wizards, but they are often impoverished due to the Magical Creatures Protection Act of the British wizarding world. Bars and alleys became their best spots. They can be found in the Magic Alley, Tumbledown Alley, and the Gray Zone.
"What about the other witchers? There will always be people who love jingle gold gallons, right? ā
"Actually, sir. There have been a lot of witchers who have gone to Fog Village, but none of them have returned, and the other witchers have avoided it like snakes and scorpions. The Ministry of Magic really had no choice but to let the Aurors investigate the case. ā
What else is going on? In this way, Li Kuan's idea of hiring demon hunters to act together has failed.
At this moment the door to the office was completely opened, and Professor Minerva McGonagall said in a dignified manner, "Rather than say such non-nutritious things here, gentlemen. We had to rush to the meeting point. Through the Magic Road Network. ā
"Yes, Professor (ma'am)."
Li Kuan shrugged his shoulders and walked into the office, looking around at the prosaic arrangement before looking at Professor Minerva McGonagall.
"When I'm gone, Professor Dumbledore will be taking over as Professor of Transfiguration, do you have anything to say? Can be written on stationery. ā
"No, thank you. I don't have anything to say. Feltch said after touching Lady Loris's chin.
Li Kuan picked up the paper on the table, put it under his nose, smelled it, and exclaimed, "The sweet and warm taste should be a fragrance made by yourself." Violet? ā
Without waiting for Professor McGonagall to answer, Li Kuan wrote a sentence on the paper on the table, and folded it on the table.
No one knows what he wrote except him. Professor Minerva McGonagall looked curiously and asked, "Don't you have to send it out?" ā
"No, Professor."
"Okay then."
Professor Minerva McGonagall turned around and grabbed a handful of Floo powder and said, "Fog Town! Then he threw it in the fire. In an instant, a puff of smoke rose from where she stood, and the figure had vanished.
"Next one is me, Feltch, after you break off, remember to inform me of anything strange." Li Kuan said with a smile, then reached out and grabbed a handful of Floo powder on the edge of the burning fireplace.
"May the Light bless you, sir."
"Fogtown." Li Kuan threw the Floo powder in his hand into the fire and said.
Suddenly only Fielch and Madame Loris were left in the room. Filch looked left and right, including the roofs and corners, and there was no trace of anything unusual before grabbing a handful of Floo powder and throwing it into the fire.
"Fogtown." He said.
A twisting and tumbling sensation came from him, as if he had stepped over a wall. Ferch staggered a little, and then saw his surroundings clearly.
It was a watch shop, and the clock ticked all over the walls: wooden-framed, iron, and a few other of material he couldn't name.
Professor Minerva McGonagall, who had come first, was talking to the old shopkeeper about something, and Li Kuan was tidying up his clothes and hair, which had become a little messy due to the magic road network.
Fei Erqi casually tidied up his clothes and walked towards Li Kuan.
"Is there anything out of the ordinary? Mr. Filch. ā
"Not found, sir. I searched the roofs, the corners, everywhere, and found nothing out of the ordinary. ā
Li Kuan felt that the system had verified that Feltch and Lady Loris were his believers, and nodded. He wasn't to blame for being careful, for based on his speculation and knowledge from Hogwarts books, the magical creatures at work here were likely hallucinogenic and had to be guarded against.
Ailu cat Xiling meowed like an ostrich and hid in Li Kuan's arms, revealing only a cat's head to observe outside.
Soon Professor Minerva McGonagall ended her conversation with the old man and came over and said, "It's a long way from town to Foggy Village. There was no magic road network, no Muggle cars, only a few horse-drawn carriages in use. The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic had already arrived first to order the carriage. If nothing else, we'll be shopping for some groceries here and heading out for Fog early tomorrow morning. If you have something to buy, do it as soon as possible. ā
Li Kuan and Fei Qi shook their heads at the same time, they had enough things to bring and nothing to add.
"In that case, the store manager still has two houses for rent here, Mr. Li Kuan and Mr. Ferch live in one, and I live in one, do you think it's okay?"
Li Kuan and Filch nodded at the same time, and Professor Minerva McGonagall made a point of instruction.
"Call me if you have something, don't run around."
