Stephen used Apparition several times without the Muggles noticing.

However, fearing he might get lost or fail to find his destination, he restrained himself from using the spell.

Therefore, he was not fast and arrived at the place before sunset.

There, as far as the eye can see, there is only yellow sand and undulating sand dunes.

Apart from that, there wasn't even a single cactus or anything like that.

However, the map in his hand clearly told him that this was his destination.

So he drew his wand and chanted an awkward spell.

The wand traced a path, its tip eventually pointing towards the sky ahead.

Immediately afterwards, as if shimmering with light, a tall, cone-shaped building appeared before him.

That's a pyramid!

A pyramid that only a wizard could discover!

Next to the pyramids, there are some temporary, low shacks, which seem to be places for some people to work or live.

However, there was no one here at the moment.

That's right, Bill Weasley and his Gringotts colleagues, along with the treasure-hunting Nifflers, once worked here and witnessed a beam of white light shooting straight into the sky from within. (Note: Nifflers are magical creatures that can find treasure; they have a strong fascination with shiny, golden things.)

After that, the place was quickly sealed off by Gringotts, and no one was allowed to approach it.

However, at this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly visits the place...

Seeing this scene, Stephen nodded in satisfaction. After a brief pause, he walked toward the pyramids.

When he came out again, it was already the morning of the next day.

He stood outside the pyramid, arms outstretched towards the sunrise, a contented smile on his lips. In a low voice, he said, "This feeling is just wonderful!"

So, where should we go next?

He looked at the endless yellow sand, waved his wand, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The pyramid behind him quickly disappeared into the desert again, as if it had never existed.

……

……

Cairo, Gringotts, the office of the curse-breaker.

This place is more of a workspace than an office, because the large room is filled with all sorts of objects, and those objects look very old.

“Bill, I envy you. You get to go back to England this summer,” said a bearded, rugged-looking wizard.

“Haha, what can I do? The boss assigned me to send Adam to school in England, so I can only endure the long journey,” Bill said with a Versailles-like air.

Unfortunately, being a curse remover at Gringotts is a very tough job, and there are very few opportunities to go home.

Bill had just arrived in Egypt last year, and in the summer, he was tasked with escorting a batch of uncursed treasure back to England.

This year, they went back again to take Adam to school.

How could this not make the wizards in the same office envious?

Oh, by the way, Adam was a Muggle-born wizard in Cairo.

Bill was the first to discover his wizarding identity.

After that, Gringotts, in an effort to gain favor within the local wizarding community, focused its efforts on helping this boy named Adam.

Not only did they help him quickly learn about various common knowledge in the magical world, but they also used their connections to secure him admission to Hogwarts.

You know, Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world—Bill has always insisted on this, and how lucky it would be to study there.

To ensure the matter was handled properly, the local leadership in Gringotts, Cairo, decided to send a capable young wizard to accompany Adam to England and to see him off on the Hogwarts Express on September 1st.

This task naturally fell to Bill, who now had the best relationship with Adam.

Today is the day they depart for England.

……

“Bill, my mother’s old ailment has flared up again, and I have to take her to the doctor. We’ll have to go another day…” In an Egyptian house, a thin boy said to Bill with a helpless and sad expression.

He is Adam Quinn, the little boy Bill is sending to school in England.

"Oh? Elsa is sick again? Is it serious? Do you want me to come with you?" Bill asked with concern.

"No need, I can handle it." Adam gave a faint smile.

Seeing the child's smile, Bill felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Alright, you take care of your mother first. We'll set off again once her condition stabilizes."

“Yes, thank you, Bill,” Adam said obediently.

“You’re welcome. I told you I would help you,” Bill said, patting the boy on the shoulder.

After seeing Bill off, the little boy went into the inner room, where an Egyptian woman in her thirties was sitting in a wheelchair.

She saw the little boy walk in, his eyes showing a mixture of satisfaction and fear.

"Uh...uh...uh~"

A panicked sound came from her throat.

However, they were unable to utter a single clear word.

“My dearest mother, I was planning to leave today so you wouldn’t be afraid of me. But it seems someone went somewhere they shouldn’t have, and I have to go check it out. Please wait a little longer; I’ll be leaving soon for the greatest magic school in the world.”

As Adam spoke, he picked up a clean towel with one gloved hand and carefully and gently wiped away the drool that had flowed from the woman's mouth due to her excitement.

As he wiped her, the woman's entire body trembled uncontrollably.

In the end, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah~"

The woman let out a painful and sorrowful sob.

……

After putting his mother to sleep, Adam pushed open the door and left the house.

Soon, his figure appeared in the desert.

Soon after, he appeared at the foot of a pyramid.

Next to the pyramid were some temporary shacks.

Then he entered the pyramid and came to a stone hall inside.

In the center of that stone hall stood an Egyptian-style anthropomorphic sarcophagus. At this moment, the lid of the sarcophagus had been opened by someone and placed aside, revealing a mummy body wrapped in thick linen.

Adam approached the mummy, a look of curiosity in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, it seemed as if some unknown sound rang out in this stone hall.

Adam listened attentively for a while, then nodded and said, "Oh, so you are a descendant of that agent."

He listened for a while longer, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't wake you up right now... but I can do you a small favor: you have to get out of here on your own."

After saying this, he took off the woolen gloves he was wearing, stood on tiptoe, and placed his hand on the mummy's forehead.

On the back of his hand, there was a scar—a scar composed of a circle and a lightning bolt.

——Dimensional wall——

This fills in some plot holes from earlier episodes, such as Swinton's origins and the little boy who awakened in Egypt. Also, this is an original storyline created by the author and won't be explored in much detail for now.
