The Admiral of Hogwarts

After roughly circling the street, Hugo and Hermione focused their attention on things with writing on them. After all, finding a good deal earlier was just because Hugo was lucky enough to stumble upon something good, but in such a mixed environment, there were actually more fakes.

This was why they were looking for various written materials, because even if the medium of those things was fake, the knowledge contained in the words and patterns carved on them would not be fake. Compared to those magical items purely used to fool people, these things were actually more reliable.

So they found a used bookstore and began to rummage through the pile of old books for treasure. An hour later, Hugo and Hermione had almost emptied their pockets and bought nearly 20 books from the used bookstore, completely filling the backpack they had brought.

Of course, don't expect to find any special spells or rare ancient books in this kind of place. All the books they bought were mass-printed books.

Some of the books introduced practical magic such as household magic or cooking magic, which were rarely taught in schools. The other part was about the unique daily magic casting skills and some common potion making skills in the United States.

"Seriously, the books we bought today are actually quite practical," Hermione said excitedly as they walked out of the used bookstore. "At least Hogwarts doesn't teach people how to wave their wands and turn raw materials into all kinds of delicacies."

"You're right," Hugo nodded and said. He had spent the past year asking his classmates and found that household magic seemed to be something passed down from generation to generation by the women of each family, and the school didn't teach it. So finding teaching materials here was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Because they had spent almost all the money they had on them, and the time they had agreed with their parents was approaching, Hugo and Hermione left the used bookstore and headed towards the entrance of the market with their newly collected spoils.

However, just as they were not far from the entrance, a man who had been standing behind them suddenly lowered his head, accelerated, and passed between Hugo and Hermione.

"Thief!" Just as Hugo hadn't reacted, Victory's voice suddenly rang in his mind. "The man who just passed by is a thief, look at your pants pocket—"

"What?" Hugo touched his pants pocket sharply after hearing Victory's reminder, only to find that a big hole had been cut in his pants pocket at some point, and the wallet that was originally in it was also gone.

After discovering this situation, he turned his head nervously and looked at the man who was walking quickly towards the market exit.

You must know that although he had almost spent all the wizarding currency he had on him before, the wallet contained all of his current eighty-odd pounds of pocket money. Even if he really wanted money, he could directly ask the ship girls, but he was too embarrassed to ask the girls for his own affairs.

"Stop thief!" Hugo immediately shouted loudly, while quickly chasing after the thief who ran towards the market entrance after hearing the shout. Seeing her younger brother's actions, Hermione was stunned for a moment, then took off the backpack on her back, held it in her hand, and chased after him.

"Heh heh, two little guys still want to catch up with me—" Hearing the children's unique high-pitched voice behind him, the thief sneered. He didn't think that two children who looked only eleven or twelve years old could catch him. As long as he got out of this door, no one could stop him from apparating away.

Thinking like this, the thief bypassed the people who were trying to stop him in three steps and crossed the gate. Then he spun around and prepared to apparate away, but just as he turned half a circle and turned his face towards the gate, he saw a black thing hitting his face with the sound of wind.

"Ah—" A scream quickly came from the thief's mouth. Because he felt an extremely severe pain on his face. Obviously, the cloth bag containing silverware that Hugo threw with all his strength hit his face at a very high speed, breaking his nasal bone.

And what was worse for him was that he was casting the Apparition spell at this time, so the severe pain on his face immediately disrupted the thoughts in his mind, and the magic naturally went wrong.

Hugo and his sister, who chased out, and several enthusiastic people saw that after a soft explosion sound, the thief's lower body disappeared directly, and his upper body fell to the ground with a bang because he lost his support. Perhaps because of the effect of magic, not a drop of blood was exposed at the break for the time being.

"Ah—" The thief first lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his body, and then a shout much louder than before came from his mouth. Because he knew that although the power of magic temporarily made the break on his body okay, he would be dead once the magic disappeared in five or six minutes.

"Uh—" Seeing this, Hugo quickly covered his sister's eyes, because the thief's upper body happened to be facing them when he fell, and from the cross-section, you could see that the internal organs were still蠕动 normally for some reason, which looked very scary.

Hugo, as a doctor in his previous life, had seen many such scenes, so he felt that he was okay now. But several adult wizards around him screamed or simply bent over and vomited after seeing this scene.

That's why he covered Hermione's eyes with his hand just now, because he felt that his sister was not suitable to see such a terrifying scene now. Fortunately, there was a tacit understanding between the two people, so Hermione believed that there must be a reason for Hugo to cover her eyes, so she didn't struggle much.

"Make way, make way, what happened here?" At this time, a familiar voice came from the back of the crowd, and then Enterprise separated the crowd and walked to the front of everyone. "Ah, it turns out that someone has been dismembered."

After seeing this scene, Enterprise walked directly to the thief's side, patted his face to make him realize her existence, and then took out her wand and said to him, "Tell me quickly where you were going to apparate to before, otherwise I won't be able to save you."

After hearing Enterprise say this, the thief hesitated for a moment. Because his target for Apparition was his den, and once others knew about it, he would be miserable. But soon he realized that being found his den by others would at most put him in jail for a few years, but now if he didn't say that place, he would be dead.

So he quickly said the place where he wanted to apparate to just now at the fastest speed. After listening to his words, Enterprise waved her wand at the thief lying on the ground.

With a loud bang, after a burst of purple smoke dissipated, everyone saw the thief slumped on the ground, with a look of fear on his face. But his lower body has been installed.

"Okay." At this time, Enterprise grabbed the thief's collar and lifted him up abruptly, and then asked: "Quick, tell me, how much did you steal before?"
