"Good morning! I hope we're not late." The girls said in unison.

The Patil sisters were already very beautiful, and the twins magnified their charm several times over.

Michael was lying at the window observing the animals outside. When he heard the sound, he flashed to the fireplace and raised his hand gracefully to greet.

"No, we just arrived too," he said happily.

"Miss Patil and Miss Patil, welcome to Graling Farm."

Steven said, then turned to look at Wade, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Vader understood exactly what he wanted to say—

Such a beautiful girl, why don’t you take the initiative?

Vader shook his head.

Steven was probably conditioned by his father's urging to get married, and he acquired some of the qualities of a matchmaker.

Neville walked out from the fire and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My grandma didn't want me to come at first," he said with lingering fear, "but she changed her mind after she heard that the first and second graders were both here."

Before Theo could say anything after arriving, he heard the Patil sisters exclaim.

"what happened?"

Everyone thought they were being attacked and ran over to see what was happening.

"My necklace and earrings are gone!" Padma said, touching her empty earlobes.

“And the bracelet and the hairpin,” Parvati added in panic, “seemed to have disappeared in an instant!”

Steven understood immediately.

“It’s the Nifflers,” he said helplessly. “These little buggers love shiny things. Don’t worry, I’ll get it back for you.”

He whistled, and a crup with a forked tail came running over and squatted like a soldier.

Steven stroked its ears, whispered a few words, and the crup ran away.

Not long after, it came back with a blue-black Niffler in its mouth, which looked a bit like a platypus.

The crup wagged its tail quickly, with an expression that said "seeking praise" on its face.

Steven took the sniff, patted the crup's head, and praised, "Good boy."

"Is this the Niffler?" Parvati looked at the little animal curiously and asked doubtfully, "I don't see any jewelry! Did it hide in the cave?"

Steven said, "This is a Cornus Niffler. Unlike the Irish Niffler, it has a magical belly pouch - look!"

He held the Niffler upside down on its hind legs and shook it, and the Patil sisters' gold jewelry fell down with a jingle, as well as bird and snake eggshells, golden tableware, and some small shiny stones.

When the little guy was put back on the ground, he looked very angry. With tears in his eyes, he picked up the scattered things on the ground and then turned around and ran away.

"I think you'd better put away all your jewelry," Michael advised, "otherwise, the Nifflers might steal it again someday."

Theo suddenly said, "Look, it's a fairy!"

Everyone looked over.

At first glance, you might think those flying among the flowers are a group of dragonflies, but a closer look reveals that they look exactly like humans, except for their colorful wings.

The delicate little people were wearing clothes made of flower petals or grass leaves, flying around busily, and sometimes stopped on the leaves as if taking a rest.

Everyone watched with bated breath, not daring to breathe, for fear of scaring them away.

A fairy seemed to be attracted by the fragrance and flew to Padma. After turning around twice, it landed on Theo's finger.

"Merlin..."

Parvati let out a groaning sigh.

Theo looked at the green-haired fairy in surprise. It was holding a small magic wand in its hand, and the tip of the wand would sometimes spray out golden and red debris when it flew.

Another fairy with transparent wings flew over, and the two made a low buzzing sound as they communicated. After a moment, the two flew away together.

Theo touched his fingers, feeling a little lost.

"Some wizards use fairies as exquisite decorations and fix them on lamps or Christmas trees after casting spells."

Steven said with some pity: "But I think... they are more beautiful when they fly freely."

“Fixed to the lampstand?” Padma asked. “Will they still be alive?”

"Some people will release the fairies they have used up... but not everyone is willing to do that," said Steven.

"Do they feel pain?" Theo asked in a low voice.

"Fairies have always been considered to be of low intelligence, with brains roughly the same as those of insects."

Steven said: "But as long as they are living beings, how can they not feel pain? It's just that arrogant wizards can't empathize with their pain."

These words kept the young wizards silent for a long time, and each of them felt a little touched.

Hermione didn't arrive until the afternoon, and she looked worried.

"Have you been in touch with Harry during this time?" she asked everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Harry seems to have never opened the Book of Friends." Hermione said worriedly: "I even rented an owl to send him a letter, but he never replied. The same is true for Ron..."

"Could something have happened to Harry?" Theo frowned.

"Maybe he was imprisoned by his Muggle relatives." Michael actually guessed the truth directly: "I know he was not treated well!"

"Imprisoned? How dare a Muggle do this to him?" Parvati said in astonishment, and then said, "How about we go and take a look together?"

"Okay, let's treat it as a group activity!" Michael said excitedly.

"Don't!" Wade dissuaded him, "It's too conspicuous for so many people to appear in the Muggle community. I'll just go and take a look at the situation."

"What can a little kid like you do?" Steven said, "I'll go with you."

"I want to go too!" Hermione said, "I'm really worried."

"No need for that!" Wade saw that Theo wanted to speak too, so he refused decisively, "And I'm not alone... I'll ask Remus to go with me."

"Him?" Steven frowned first, then thought of something: "Oh... Remus Lupin, I remember he and James Potter are good friends."

When James Potter entered the school, Steven was about to graduate. Moreover, they were not in the same college and did not know each other.

But as the foursome were prominent figures in the school, Steven had also heard of their names and some of their deeds.

If Harry Potter was really in danger or abused by Muggles, then Remus Lupin, as his father's friend, would certainly be the most appropriate person to step in as an elder.

Chapter 112 Past

When Vader emerged from the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron, Lupin was waiting for him.

Compared to the first time they met, the man was obviously in much better condition.

He was wearing a dark blue wizard robe, no longer patched up like before. The sadness and haggardness on his face had mostly disappeared, replaced by the calmness and slight melancholy that had been precipitated by the years.

Such a man was undoubtedly very attractive, and Wade saw some young witches looking at him covertly.

Lupin ignored those looks. When he saw Vader, he couldn't help but smile, walked over and said, "Long time no see, Vader."

In the past six months, they met very rarely, but their daily magic teaching never stopped. Through text exchanges, Lupin was already very familiar with Wade.

Although he is young, he does not have the shortcomings that ordinary children often have, such as laziness, impulsiveness, childishness, impetuousness, etc.

He has very clear goals and high concentration. He is constantly learning and growing, and he exudes an enterprising spirit. He is also good at listening and expressing his own ideas, but he will not blindly follow others.

He trusts and respects the people around him, and can understand the difficulties of others. He treats Lupin with the same respect as the professors in the school, and never acts superior to him just because he is paid.

During his years of wandering, Lupin met all kinds of employers. Many of them believed that "I paid you, so you have to be my dog", and they wanted to squeeze every penny of value out of their employees.

So at this moment, his identification with Wade had already been infinitely elevated, and the only obstacle was his own identity as a werewolf.

He didn't know that Vader knew from the beginning that he was a werewolf.

"Remus." Wade greeted him. "Is it okay to call you over so suddenly?"

Lupin smiled and said, "I haven't been busy lately...Did anything happen to you?"

"You know, Harry and I are classmates and we have a pretty good relationship."

Wade said directly without hiding anything: "Since the holiday, Harry has lost contact with all his friends, and everyone is a little worried. I said I could go to his house to see -"

Ever since he heard Harry's name, Lupin's expression has changed subtly, as if he was in a trance or in pain.

Wade looked at him and said, "I heard that Harry's parents were your friends during school, so I thought maybe you would be willing to help..."

He paused slightly and said, "If it embarrasses you, then forget it... I guess Harry shouldn't be in any serious trouble, otherwise Dumbledore would have taken action."

Lupin's face really looked a little ugly, as if someone had poured a spoonful of cold water into his ears.

"...No...it's not difficult." Lupin said slowly: "I also want to see him...but...I don't know whether I should get close..."

He looked a little dazed.

"Go and see if you want to." Wade said, "Who has the right to stop you from caring about the orphan of your old friend? Besides, he may still need help now."

The word "orphan" suddenly made Lupin feel painful, and he looked a little embarrassed for a moment.

"You're right... I should go see him... I should have gone to see him a long time ago..."

Lupin made up his mind and did not hesitate. The two set out together. In order to avoid attracting attention, they changed into ordinary clothes, took the subway, and then took a taxi to Little Whinging in Surrey.

They got off the car at Privet Drive, looking at the almost identical houses on both sides of the road, Lupin asked: "Wade, do you know where Harry lives?"

Wade looked at the house number outside a house and said, "It should be around here. His uncle's last name is Dursley."

"Dursley... I remember him - Dursley of Vernon, Lily's sister's husband. He was there when Lily and James got married."

Lupin frowned and said with disgust: "——is a rude lunatic."

"--What happened?" Wade asked curiously.

In his impression, James Potter was a school bully, and he had a few friends around him who obeyed his orders.

The Muggle Fenon should be powerless in front of them and could only be bullied.
