The Admiral of Hogwarts

Spending £300 on a knife might seem like an excessive expense to many, but it was nothing for Mr. Granger, a dentist.

So, upon discovering that the knife came from the famous battleship Tirpitz, he immediately spent the money to buy this knife, which, in his eyes, was of great commemorative value.

As for Hugo, after confirming that the knife his father bought could be used to summon a ship girl, he didn't need to run to that fjord in the east to summon the Tirpitz.

Especially since he didn't have enough Fate Points on hand right now, being able to postpone some summonses was clearly better for him, at least avoiding the problem of not having enough Fate Points after arriving in Narvik.

After arriving in Narvik, the Granger family quickly moved into the house where Hugo's maternal grandfather had lived.

It was a two-story building made of stone, looking gray and unremarkable, no different from the scattered houses on the plain around it, except that the interior clearly showed signs of renovation.

Opening the door, directly facing it was a corridor. The corridor was lined with beautiful wallpaper. To the left of the corridor was a kitchen and dining room that didn't seem large, even appearing somewhat cramped.

"It looks alright. Considering my grandparents had six children, this house must have been very crowded back then."

"Six children, that's incredible!" Hermione said, her eyes widening. "But I've never met Grandpa's siblings."

"Because they either died very early or went to other countries, and then the connection between everyone slowly faded," Mrs. Granger said to the children, shaking her head.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. I'll go cook first, and you guys tidy up the house. We can eat together in a little while."

After lunch, they decided to take a stroll by the sea. But unexpectedly, just as the Granger family arrived at the dock, they were surprised to see Enterprise and Indomitable standing on the dock, looking at the bay in front of them and talking.

"Professor Halsey, what are you doing here?" Recognizing Enterprise, Hermione immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Like during the summer vacation, you can just call me Enterprise-nee, after all, this is off-campus leisure time," Enterprise said with a smile, waving her hand. "We're here to take care of something, or rather, to look for a treasure."

"Oh, then we won't disturb you." Hearing Enterprise say this, Mr. Granger exchanged a few pleasantries with them and then left.

After all, they were here to find a treasure, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to continue staying here and disturbing them.

"The person next to Enterprise-nee should be the female owner of that newly opened magic shop in Diagon Alley, right?" Hermione said to Hugo on the way back. It was during the conversation just now that Hermione recognized Indomitable's identity.

"A magical tool maker and a former Auror, the thing that can make them personally go out to find must be very precious."

Saying this, Hermione clenched her fists and placed them in front of her chest, her eyes suddenly shining brightly.

Sure enough, Hermione, who possessed the characteristics of a Gryffindor student, also had a strong spirit of adventure, so her reaction was so strong after hearing this news.

"I think that after we're in our fifth year, maybe we'll have enough power to join those adventures," Hugo said, looking at his sister.

"And didn't we say we were going hunting this afternoon? I think taking this opportunity to learn how to shoot should be a good thing."

Because this was the hunting season in Norway, the Granger family had purchased licenses before coming and planned to go hunting. As for guns and the like, Grandpa had them here, so there was no need to rent them separately.

"You're right, instead of thinking about those things now, it's better to think about what to do when hunting this afternoon." After Hugo said this, Hermione's attention was immediately diverted to hunting.

As British people, the Granger family not only didn't dislike hunting, a somewhat bloody activity, but instead, their hearts were filled with a certain anticipation for this activity.

Because in England, hunting is regarded as one of the exclusive sports of the nobility. Those traditional nobles often hunt collectively on various specific dates and places and use this occasion to socialize.

And in such an environment, British middle-class families like the Grangers naturally also have a certain admiration for this activity.

However, just as the Granger family was preparing for the afternoon's trip at their residence, Hugo contacted Enterprise through the Admiral Network and asked her about the reason why she appeared in Narvik at this time.

"This is mainly related to you, Commander," Enterprise replied. "After your grandfather told the story of his father's encounter, Formidable immediately passed the story on to me."

"Considering that you will be staying in the Narvik area for a week during this time and will be hunting in the mountains, we specifically investigated what exactly happened in this area in '45?"

"Then you must have investigated something," Hugo immediately replied after hearing Enterprise say this. "Otherwise, it would be enough for Formidable alone to protect me, there's no need for you and Indomitable to come together."

"We did investigate something," Enterprise chuckled. "But the people who came this time are not just me and Indomitable. In addition to the two of us, Blücher, Saint George, and the Renown sisters have also come together."

"What exactly did you find?" Hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo felt that he suddenly perked up. "The thing that can make so many battleships move out is definitely not a small thing, did you find the World Tree?"

"No, actually we still don't know exactly what we found this time," Enterprise said.

"The reason why we came here is mainly because we accidentally discovered when checking the archives that the archives recorded that several ordinary people disappeared in '45 in the place where your grandfather's father went."

"What's so strange about that?" Hugo asked, puzzled. "In that era, Norway was very chaotic due to the recent end of the war, and many people hoped to cross those forests and escape into neutral Sweden."

"However, the surroundings are all primeval forests, and the terrain is complex mountains. It should be very normal for those who have no experience to die in the forest with no remains."

"You're right, the surrounding environment here is indeed very good, and there are many kinds of wild animals. If ordinary people die in the mountains, they may be eaten in a few hours."

After listening to Hugo's question, Enterprise nodded first, and then said. "But if I tell you that the people who died here include more than five local old hunters, what would you think?"

"That's not normal." Hugo immediately understood why Enterprise would be suspicious.

"Those old hunters are very confident in their abilities and won't go to particularly dangerous places. Moreover, the Germans surrendered in the late spring and early summer here, and the forest is far less dangerous than in winter, even if something really happened to someone, it's impossible for it to happen to everyone."
