Chapter 111 Friends, News

Vader asked in the friend account last night. Michael, Neville, Hermione and Theo all said they would come. Padma asked if she could bring her sister with her. Ryan and his family will travel to Italy in a few days. Before he could come back, Harry didn't send a message.

Green flames rose and everyone arrived one after another.

They usually go to school and are used to seeing each other in black uniforms. At this time, several people were wearing casual clothes, which brought a novel visual experience.

Especially the Patil sisters, they wore gorgeous long dresses, light makeup, and glittering gold jewelry on their wrists and necks. They were dazzlingly beautiful and graceful.

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

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

Michael was originally lying in front of the window observing the animals outside. After hearing the sound, he almost flashed to the fireplace and gracefully raised his hand to say hello.

"No, we just arrived." He said happily.

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

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

Vader accurately understood 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 urge to get married, and he acquired a bit of the matchmaker's attributes.

Neville stepped out of the fire and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Grandma didn't let me come originally," he said with lingering fear, "but she changed her mind after she heard that the first and second grade students were both here."

Before Theo could speak after arriving, he heard Sister Patil let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone thought they had been attacked, so they all ran over to take a look.

"My necklace and earrings are missing!" Padma said, touching her empty earlobe.

"And the bracelets and hairpins," Parvati added in panic, "seemed to disappear in an instant!"

Steven understood immediately.

"It's Xiu Xiu." He said helplessly: "These little guys like shiny little things very much. Don't worry, I will get them back for you right away."

He whistled, and a swallow-tailed dog with a forked tail flew over and squatted down like a soldier.

Steven touched its ears and whispered a few words, and the swallow-tailed dog flew away.

Soon after, it ran back again, holding a blue-black Sniff in its mouth, which looked somewhat like a platypus.

The swallow-tailed dog wagged its tail rapidly, with a "begging for praise" expression on its face.

Steven took the sniffer, touched the swallow-tailed dog's head, and praised: "Good boy."

"Is this Niffler?" Parvati looked at the little animal curiously and asked doubtfully, "I didn't see the jewelry! Is it hidden in the hole?"

Steven said: "This is a Konossniff. Unlike the Irish Sniff, it has a magical abdominal pouch - look!"

He held Xiu Xiu upside down and shook his hind legs, and the gold jewelry of the Patil sisters fell down with a tinkling sound. There were also bird and snake eggshells, golden tableware, and some small shiny stones.

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

"I think you'd better put away all the jewelry." Michael advised: "Otherwise, it might be stolen by Sniff again."

Theo suddenly said: "Look, that's a fairy!"

Everyone looked over.

At first glance, I thought those flying among the flowers were a group of dragonflies. But if you look closely, except for their colorful wings, they look completely human.

The delicate-looking little people are wearing clothes made of flower petals or grass leaves, flying busily. Sometimes it stops 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 scent and flew to Padma's side. After spinning twice, it landed on Theo's finger again.

"Merlin..."

Parvati let out a groan-like sigh.

Theo looked at the green-haired fairy in surprise. It also held a small wand in its hand. When it flew, the tip of the wand sometimes sprayed out golden and red debris.

Another fairy with transparent wings flew over, making a low buzzing sound when the two communicated. After a while, the two flew away together.

Theo touched his fingers, feeling a little disappointed.

"Some wizards will use fairies as exquisite decorations, and after casting spells, they will be fixed on the lampstand or Christmas tree."

Steven said with some pity: "But I think...the way they fly freely is more beautiful."

"Fixed to a lampstand?" Padma asked, "Can they still be alive?"

"Some people release the fairies when they're done with them... but not everyone wants to do that," Steven said.

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

"Fairies have always been considered to be mentally retarded, with a mind similar to that of an insect."

Steven said: "But as long as they are living creatures, how can they not feel pain? It's just that the arrogant wizard cannot empathize with their pain."

These words made the little wizards silent for a long time, and each of them felt a little touched in their hearts.

Hermione arrived in the afternoon and looked worried.

"Have you contacted Harry during this period?" she asked everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Harry seems to have never opened the friend book." Hermione said worriedly: "I also 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 knew he was not treated well!"

"Imprisoned? Muggles dare to do this to him?" Parvati said in surprise, and then said: "Why don't we go and see it 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."

"What can you do as a child?" Steven said, "I'll go with you."

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

"No need!" Wade saw that Theo also wanted to speak, and decisively refused, "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 enrolled, Steven was about to graduate. And they were not in the same college and didn't know each other.

But as the four people were the school's celebrities, Steven had 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 come forward as an elder.
