The Admiral of Hogwarts

"May I ask who you are?" Mrs. Granger asked with a questioning look after seeing a young woman who looked somewhat familiar to her appear at the door. Then, turning to Hugo, who clearly knew the young woman, she asked directly, "Do you know this young lady? Is she a friend of yours?"

"Yes, she is a friend my sister and I met yesterday," Hugo said, looking up at his mother. "We met her yesterday at that wizarding market. A thief stole my wallet, and she caught the thief and helped me get my wallet back."

"That's right, that's when I met your children. Then, while registering after catching the thief, I discovered through chatting that I had some common interests with them, so we naturally got to know each other," Enterprise said. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself earlier. I'm Enterprise Halsey, an Auror who just resigned."

"Auror?" Mrs. Granger didn't immediately react to the word, but Mr. Granger, having discussed many things related to the magical world with Hood and the others, quickly realized what it was. "An Auror is a type of profession for wizards, similar to our police."

"Yes, it is indeed similar to your police or disciplinary forces of you non-magical people," Enterprise nodded and said. "However, because our numbers are much smaller than your police force, our work is not only dangerous but also very busy."

"Oh, oh, I see." Mr. Granger nodded and quickly stepped aside, then, along with his wife, invited Enterprise into the living room by the coffee table. Then, offering tea, he asked, "So, Miss Halsey, may I ask what brings you here today?"

"It's like this," Enterprise said, taking out a few photos from her wallet and then saying to Hugo, "When I was chatting with you two siblings yesterday, I kept thinking you two looked familiar. Only after returning did I realize that I seemed to have seen you in a group photo with my best friend, Hood, before, so I made a phone call to confirm."

"As a result, Miss Hood told me that the Granger siblings are very close to her two younger sisters and are classmates in the same year. Even her sister named Veneto is Miss Granger's roommate."

Enterprise said, pushing the photos in front of the Granger couple. "So, last night she specifically told me to accompany you two to have fun at the wizarding attractions here, and she also faxed me some photos."

"Miss Hood?" Mrs. Granger looked at the photos. Sure enough, the photos were group photos taken when Hugo and Hermione went to Hood's place as guests before. "She is indeed a very good young person. In my impression, she is a down-to-earth, hardworking, and very kind and considerate girl—"

"I have something to go out for a bit," Mr. Granger said, temporarily getting up from the coffee table and walking into the room, while Mrs. Granger stayed there with Hugo and Enterprise to chat. However, Hugo soon heard his father making an international call to Hood in the bedroom inside.

Since Hugo and Hermione often ran to Hood's place during the last Christmas break, Mr. Granger, out of concern for his children, naturally wrote down Hood's phone number in his notebook. And at this time, he could use this phone number to verify Enterprise's identity.

After all, there were many places in the wizarding world that he couldn't accompany his children to. Letting the children give up such opportunities to broaden their horizons was naturally not a good idea. Therefore, he supported someone taking his two children to visit those places, but considering safety issues, he still needed to call to confirm.

Obviously, Hood, who could learn about Hugo's situation in real-time through the Admiral Network, would definitely not show any flaws in this inquiry. In just a few minutes, she successfully made Mr. Granger confirm Enterprise's identity and genuinely recognize her as a reliable person.

"You said you plan to spend some time visiting the local wizarding attractions. Are there many wizarding attractions on such a small island?" Mr. Granger asked after returning from the bedroom and sitting down, having overheard Enterprise introducing the upcoming itinerary to Mrs. Granger.

"Of course, there are not only many, but also a lot," Enterprise said, taking out a booklet and saying, "Here is the largest wizarding commercial district in the entire Pacific island region, the most beautiful pure-wizard village. There are also many great seaside tourist destinations and magical creature reserves distributed on nearby islands and surrounding waters."

"After all, the sunshine, beaches, and beautiful sea on this small island are a great attraction to everyone, whether they have magic or not."

"For example, this," Enterprise said, opening the travel brochure in her hand and pointing to an image that looked like a GIF. "The waters around Hawaii Island are the daily habitat of the Cloud Whale. It is a giant magical creature that can reach about 120 meters in length and looks very similar to the whales in the ordinary human world."

"However, unlike the whales in the ordinary human world, this Cloud Whale usually chooses to live in the waters near Hawaii, and during the breeding season, which occurs once every three years, it will return to the coast of China to spend a year raising its offspring. What's even more special is that they not only swim in the water but also fly in the sky."

"What a magical animal," Mrs. Granger said with emotion after listening. Then, she asked a very curious question. "But this whale is not only so big, but it also flies, so why have we never seen them?"

"Because this whale has a strong ability to hide, its skin will change with the surrounding environment. At the same time, they only fly when the sky is covered with dark clouds. So it is difficult for ordinary people to find them. However, this does not mean that people who do not know magic cannot see them."

"For example, in China, on the other side of the sea, some ordinary people have seen this creature and named them Kun. And here we also have countless legends about sea monsters." Enterprise paused here, "But everyone just treats this magical creature as a legend and has never taken them seriously."

"It seems that's really the case, we always turn a blind eye to some things." After listening to Enterprise's words, Mr. Granger shrugged helplessly and said. "In that case, it's indeed a good thing to go see those rarer things, but wouldn't it be too much trouble for you to accompany them?"

"No, of course not. After all, it's also my first time here, and it's naturally a good thing to have someone accompany me," Enterprise shook her head and said, "After all, I've been working in the mainland before, and this is also my first time traveling here. So traveling with the children will not affect my itinerary."

"If that's the case, that would be great." Mr. Granger said with a smile after hearing Enterprise say this. "Then I'll have to trouble you for the next period of time."
