Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"Good heavens, aren't you putting me on the spot? And you didn't even bother to ask if I'd agree. What's the point of your confidence if there are no tangible benefits?"

Of course, Anduin could only grumble these complaints in his heart. Sometimes, being too good at pretending has its drawbacks. Once a persona is established, it's hard to break other people's preconceived notions, unless it's something completely disruptive.

But Anduin couldn't accept the consequences of doing that.

So, at this moment, he could only curse inwardly while responding to Newt with a smiling face.

However, Newt didn't continue to discuss the topic of joining the Order of Merlin. After all, Anduin was just a candidate for now. So, he shifted the focus back to the previous main point.

"As for the other reason I brought up so much about the Order of Merlin," Newt said, his expression becoming more serious, "it's because this Silver Spear came into our view a long time ago, and we've discovered some secrets about this organization."

"Of course, these can't be revealed to you yet."

"All you need to know now is that finding the Thunderbird chick and, following the Thunderbird, locating the Silver Spear's lair is very important to us. Actually, we don't care whether the Silver Spear organization exists, but digging out and eliminating the current leader of this organization is very significant to us."

"So, we really need your help. We hope you can assist us in completing this task. I know this is very dangerous, and we won't force you."

"Of course, if you're willing to accept, we'll give you enough support. And we're not saying you have to face these villains alone. You just need to help us pinpoint their lair."

As Newt spoke, he carefully considered the information he could disclose to Anduin, while sincerely requesting his help.

The leader of the Silver Spear? Is there something special about this leader? It seems this organization has quite a few secrets, enough to make the prestigious Order of Merlin take it so seriously.

But for him, getting rid of this annoying Silver Spear was already in line with his goals. He was still thinking about the treasures of this mysterious organization, so he didn't resist the mission.

"Understood, I will do my best to help you. But I can't say for sure what level of mental connection I can achieve with the Thunderbird, or how much time it will take. But as long as I can do it, I will personally make a trip to Europe," Anduin said righteously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it a little. Why did he put on such a sanctimonious appearance again? What if these guys misunderstood him again? Crap, these guys probably really think of me as a scourge of evil.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you!" Newt, seeing Anduin agree so readily, immediately looked at him with shining eyes, and became even more determined to bring Anduin into the Order of Merlin.

Seeing Newt's expression, Anduin knew he had guessed correctly again, but now that he had struck a pose, it was too late to regret it, and he could only grit his teeth and continue to maintain his persona.

Great, now in their eyes, I'm practically the light of justice.

Anduin sighed silently in his heart, then ended the conversation with Newt and said goodbye.

And Newt's attitude towards Anduin became even more friendly, even personally escorting him to the fireplace and telling him to come over whenever he was free.

After a day and a night, Anduin returned to his home in Diagon Alley. At this time, he also felt a little mentally exhausted, thoughtfully walking to the sofa and slowly sitting down, his mind still digesting the various information he had gained that day.

But when he sat down heavily, he realized that something was wrong. He felt like he was sitting on something.

"Ah!!!"

Before he could react, a miserable wail came from under him.

Seeing this, Anduin quickly got up and reached behind his butt, and as a result, he pulled out Xatia, who had transformed into a bat, and she was crying in pain at this time.

"Ouch, that hurts! Master, why don't you pay attention when you sit down? My old back is about to be crushed by you!" Xatia twisted her body and rubbed her lower back with her claws.

Anduin looked at this guy with black lines all over his face, "Are you sick or something? Why do you always drill into other people's crotches? I think I should just sit on you and kill you. Hurry up and turn back into a human."

"Master, I'm injured now, this is a work-related injury! Why are you still scolding me?"

Xatia complained helplessly, then jumped off Anduin's palm and returned to her little loli appearance, but even after turning into a human, she couldn't help but support her lower back, like an old lady with a herniated disc.

After a while, Xatia finally recovered, then curiously looked around the environment.

"Master, is this your home? It looks pretty good, it's very spacious except for the ugly furnishings. Of course, it would be better if you could draw the curtains during the day," Xatia said, sitting on the sofa next to Anduin with a smile.

"Shut up," Anduin couldn't help but glare at her when he heard this guy talking nonsense again.

Damn it, she keeps saying it's ugly, doesn't she know she's living under someone else's roof now? Anduin muttered speechlessly.

"You'll live on the third floor from now on, I'll set up a room for you. Qiqi and Hogg also live here. They might be in the store right now. You can get to know each other later. You should familiarize yourself with the environment here as soon as possible. You can't run out without my permission, understand?" Anduin said sternly to Xatia.

"Yes... Master." Xatia couldn't help but feel a little helpless after hearing such strict requirements, "Just prepare a coffin for me. And I don't need a room with windows. It would be best if there was a basement, I can live there directly."

"Basement? Heh, you won't like it there," Anduin said noncommittally, then recalled that he still had some R-rated materials in his lab that he hadn't put away, and he didn't know if Qiqi had helped him clean them up.

But at this time, Xatia stroked her stomach and looked at him expectantly, "Master, do you have anything to eat here? I've been transported by people for so many days, and my stomach is almost flat. I only drank a sip of the vitality tonic you fed me in the past day and night."

After speaking, Xatia kept sniffing desperately in the air, as if looking for the smell of food, but then her face changed.

"Strange, how can I smell a strange smell here? It's a bit like a werewolf, but it seems to be a little different."
