The Admiral of Hogwarts

Seeing his wand tossed aside and feeling the strength in the hand gripping his collar, the thief immediately knew he had no chance of escape. So, he readily confessed to the misdeeds he had just committed in the market.

Soon, Enterprise recovered seven or eight wallets from the guy. Then, together with the enthusiastic crowd, they brought the tightly bound thief and all the stolen goods into the market. After a wizard activated the market's public address system, victims gradually arrived to claim their wallets.

"Ah, you're the one—" While registering at the market and returning the wallets to their owners, Hermione suddenly recognized Enterprise. "I remember seeing you on the plane from Los Angeles. You were sitting next to my brother and chatted with him for a long time—thank you so much for your help this time."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do." Enterprise waved to Hermione. "Although I've resigned from the American Ministry of Magic, I used to be an Auror. So, it's only natural that I should do this kind of thing to combat evil. By the way, I'm Enterprise, Enterprise Halsey. You guys did a great job, I'm very happy to meet you."

"We are also very happy to meet you." Seeing Enterprise's serious expression, Hermione said just as earnestly, "My name is Hermione Granger, and this next to me is my brother, Hugo Granger."

After the introductions, Hermione looked at the last wallet in Enterprise's hand and said, "I think this market isn't that big. Why hasn't the owner come to claim this wallet yet? Is it possible that the owner is no longer in this market?"

"That's certainly possible. Let me open this wallet now and see if there's anything inside that can help us find the owner's identity." Enterprise said, looking around and seeing no one approaching. Then, under the joint supervision of the market manager and Hugo, he opened the wallet and took out the contents.

It was an old leather wallet with many worn marks. Although the wallet looked quite full, it mainly contained copper Knuts, with only two silver Sickles. It was clear that the wallet's owner wasn't a wealthy person.

However, when opening a small pocket on the side of the wallet, Enterprise and the others took out a piece of parchment that looked somewhat old. After unfolding the parchment, which had been folded into a small square, they found that it was a printed advertisement with the words 'Honolulu Sanatorium' written in large gold letters at the top, followed by an address in Honolulu.

"What is this place?" Hugo asked Enterprise after looking at the words on the parchment, but Enterprise shook his head helplessly. "Sorry, I don't know where this is. After all, I've always lived in the continental United States, and I've never been to Hawaii before."

"Let me see—ah, this is a somewhat remote sanatorium on the island." Hearing Hugo and Enterprise's discussion, the market gatekeeper walked over and said, "It seems that this wallet should be very important to its owner. Unfortunately, I have to guard this place now and can't leave for the time being—"

"I think I can spare some time to help deliver it." Enterprise said at this moment, then asked with some confusion, "By the way, do you know the owner of this wallet? I can't see anything special about this wallet, except that it seems a bit more worn than ordinary wallets."

"No, I can't recognize the owner's identity just from this wallet." The gatekeeper shook his head. After noticing that Hugo and the others seemed interested in this matter, he was happy to share some local information with these out-of-towners. "But I know this sanatorium, and the people living in it are all poor souls."

According to the gatekeeper, due to the special geographical conditions and environment of the Hawaiian Islands, many people choose to come here for recuperation. At the same time, because the cost of immigration for wizards is much lower than for ordinary people, many wizards choose to come here for recuperation.

This is why this area has so many commercial districts, because the proportion of wizards to the total population is much higher than in other places, so there is a huge demand for various commercial services. Having only one or two temporary markets, like typical small wizarding communities, would definitely not be enough.

Under these circumstances, the people who come here for recuperation are also of all kinds. Among them, many suffer from chronic diseases that even wizards cannot cure, so they hope to change their environment and recuperate. And these wizards are naturally rich and poor.

Therefore, the facilities on the island are also divided into various grades. Those who are rich naturally enjoy the best things, but those who are short of money can also find everything that corresponds to their needs.

For example, this sanatorium called 'White Asphodel' is such a place, mainly targeting those wizards with chronic illnesses who don't have a good financial foundation but need care. So, when the market gatekeeper saw this location on the paper in the wallet, he immediately guessed that the owner shouldn't have much money and would naturally be very anxious after losing the wallet.

"It seems that the wizarding world is no different from the ordinary world." After leaving the market, Enterprise, carrying the wallet, prepared to go to White Asphodel Sanatorium to return it to the owner. After saying goodbye to Enterprise, Hermione said with a sigh, "I thought that with magic, the gap between the rich and poor in the wizarding world should be smaller."

"But wizards are also people." Hugo said, "However, unlike the ordinary world, in the wizarding world, strength represents everything. So, the biggest inequality in the wizarding world is mainly reflected in the monopoly of pure-blood families on knowledge related to magical power."

"—You do have a point." Hermione said after thinking for a moment after hearing Hugo's words, "It's no wonder that in the market just now, I didn't find any particularly special books besides those common magic books."

"So, the founders of Hogwarts were indeed great people." Hugo concluded at this time. "Because they were able to choose to make that knowledge public at a time when everyone was trying to hide their knowledge, this kind of dedication is indeed something ordinary people can't do."

After returning to the hotel, they learned that their mother's worry just now was indeed caused by magic. Everyone's documents were not lost. After discovering that the children had returned, the Grangers naturally asked them what they had encountered while traveling in the commercial street before.

"That was a very nice place." Hugo said seriously. "There are many interesting people and things in it, and we also bought a lot of interesting things. By the way, here are my gifts for you guys—"
