The Admiral of Hogwarts

"What the hell is this?" Hugo Mond felt something being stuffed into his pocket and looked ahead, only to see a gray-robed wizard disappearing into the crowd. He then used a handkerchief to cover his hand and lowered his head to take out the object that had just been shoved into his pocket.

Once he took it out, he realized it was a metal ball about the size of a billiard ball, with strange patterns embossed on its surface. He gently tossed it in his hand, and Hugo realized that it should be a hollow metal ball, but it seemed to contain something inside.

"What happened?" Enterprise turned back and asked. After she learned from Hugo what had just happened, she immediately drew her wand nervously and tapped the metal ball, releasing several spells, before saying, "Don't worry, there's no magical reaction inside, it should be safe."

With that, Enterprise gently squeezed the hollow metal ball in her hand. The metal ball immediately opened along a crack, revealing a rolled-up piece of parchment inside. On the parchment was only one hastily written sentence: Leave here, you are being watched.

"Stay close to me, and don't leave my side no matter what happens later." After seeing the words on the note, Enterprise immediately pulled Hugo and Hermione towards the outside of Coconut Town, and Hugo could feel that Enterprise's whole body was tense, and her ship rigging was ready to deploy at any moment.

"There are indeed several people approaching us." Just as Hugo and Hermione were following Enterprise out, Enterprise said to him through the Admiral Network, "However, they are very scattered and not numerous. If someone hadn't warned me, I think I might have needed another thirty seconds to discover them, and by then, I might have really needed to fight my way out."

As a ship girl, Enterprise naturally had radar scanning the surroundings, especially when she was out with the Admiral. However, in a crowded place like this, unless she knew someone was going to attack in advance, it would be difficult to lock onto potential attackers from a distance.

"Who would attack us at this time?" Hugo asked, somewhat puzzled. "This is our first time in Hawaii, and we've only been here for a few days. Why would we become the target of such a premeditated attack?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it's very likely related to the thief we caught before." Enterprise subtly used the surrounding crowd to conceal their movements, while saying to Hugo, "After all, since arriving on the island, the only thing that could have offended someone is that incident."

"Most importantly, the metal ball was put in your pocket. That is to say, the person who warned us thinks that you will be the core target of the revenge - go this way." Saying this, Enterprise took advantage of several tourists blocking the pursuers' line of sight and suddenly spread her arms, picking up Hugo and Hermione, then lightly tapped her toes and slipped into a nearby alley.

After entering the alley, Enterprise stepped on the cracks in the brick wall and went all the way up, then leaped onto the roof and condensed a little magic on her feet, carrying herself and running in another direction on the roof, and as she did so, she also summoned a magic barrier covering the three of them to shield Hugo and his sister from the wind.

Less than 15 seconds after they left, two wizards in ragged robes rushed into the alley, panting. Obviously, these two had been caught off guard by Enterprise's series of reactions, forcing them to expose their identities and run wildly in the street.

But even so, they still lost their target. Just as the two of them split up and carefully searched along the alley, three more similarly dressed people walked in from the entrance behind them.

"Moreno, where is the person we were tracking just now?" The tallest wizard among the three who came in later asked his companion in a deep voice. "Also, we didn't tell anyone about our previous actions. Why did the other party escape directly before the encirclement formed?"

"I... I'm sorry, I don't know anything." After being named by the wizard who was clearly the leader, the hunchbacked wizard replied in a trembling voice. "We've just been following the other party, but everything was very normal throughout the whole process, and then I don't know what happened, but the other party just ran."

"Damn it." The leader kicked the wizard, knocking him to the ground, then turned his face to another wizard. "Kotta, I hope you have some other discoveries, instead of using 'I don't know anything' to perfunctorily answer me. You know, I hate it when people say no to me."

"Well... it seems that our target had some unusual behavior before." Under the pressure of the boss's deadly gaze, the thin young man did think of something. "The older woman among the three people just now seemed to have gotten something and looked at it, and then ran away."

Because the person who handed the note to Hugo and them used the cover of other people on the street when delivering the ball, he was not discovered by this group of people. So now, when the thin young man reported to his boss, he only mentioned Enterprise's reaction at the time.

"It seems that someone tipped them off." The leader said decisively, "Our luck is really too bad this time, it seems there's no way to give them a hard time and let everyone know the consequences of offending us."

With that, they left the alley somewhat dejectedly, only they didn't notice that several small birds that had been perched on the wall suddenly flapped their wings and flew in several directions, following them. And when the birds took off, a little bit of blue paint was revealed at the base of their feathers.

"It seems that the other party had a temporary intention to attack us." Enterprise saw the every move of the attackers through the fighter jets released earlier, and then said to Hugo through the Admiral Network, "Moreover, judging from the situation just now, the other party only wanted to use us as a target to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and did not intend to continue chasing us."

At this time, Enterprise had already changed the clothes of herself and Hugo and his sister through Transfiguration, and then disguised herself as a country witch bringing her children to shop, leaving the town among a group of wizards who had finished shopping, and then quickly walked towards the place where they had parked.

It wasn't until they were in the car that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then Hermione asked in a somewhat trembling voice. "What exactly was going on just now? Why would someone want to attack us?"

"It's likely that our previous capture of the thief led the thief's accomplices to retaliate against us." Enterprise started the car and drove away, then explained to Hermione. "But you don't need to worry about this aspect, tonight I will discuss it with my colleagues and try to catch all these criminals."

The rest of the journey was naturally smooth, and Hugo and his sister successfully returned to the hotel where they were staying.
