The Admiral of Hogwarts

Traditional Voodoo magic includes many spells that, while different from Animagus transformations or advanced human transfiguration, can still turn people into various animals.

These spells may have been gradually phased out by modern magic due to their difficulty in casting and the need for various auxiliary equipment or materials, but in reality, some of them still have merit.

For example, the spell for permanently transforming werewolves is one such case, incorporating a large amount of animal transformation techniques from traditional Voodoo.

"So, we've obtained a unique magic," Enterprise said with a smile. Compared to normal wizards, the ship girls can easily suppress the werewolf transformation with their own power and cast this spell.

"According to our plan, we will next try this spell on the werewolves we captured last time, and then gradually expand the range of werewolves who can accept the transformation."

"I remember those werewolves attacked other people last time, right? Can they also be converted?" Hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo frowned.

"They can accept the conversion because the batch of werewolves we received were all enslaved by those dark Voodoo wizards, and should be regarded as tools of the crime rather than criminals themselves during the crimes," Enterprise explained.

Besides things related to werewolves, the ship girls have also done a lot of other things during this period. For example, Unicorn has successfully interacted with the creatures in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.

Furthermore, the ship girls led by the Soviet Union successfully took the opportunity of the Siege of Sarajevo to completely integrate the forces of all parties. According to them, all the problems will be completely resolved by the Christmas holidays.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you." As the conversation drew to a close, Enterprise wore a smile on her face that resembled a successful prank. "Harry has been staying at Hood's house for three days now."

"What did you say?" Hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo suddenly looked up at Enterprise, who was wearing a smile on her face.

It's normal that he didn't know about this beforehand, after all, destiny points can only be obtained after the event is over, so theoretically, this kind of change in fate must be reflected after the start of school.

"You know, Harry blew up his aunt, and then ran away from home—"

"Yes, of course I know," Hugo said as he sat up from the sofa. "But the question is, how did he end up at Hood's house?"

"It was an accident," Enterprise said with a helpless expression. "Originally, under normal circumstances, Harry should have seen Sirius Black transforming into a black dog and lit up his wand, accidentally summoning the Knight Bus."

"But the actual situation was that Hood took Firefly and Veneto to a famous all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant in Surrey, and happened to meet Harry sitting by the roadside thinking about the future when they were returning after dinner."

"And then the following things happened naturally. After all, it's not a good idea to let an acquaintance wander the streets late at night in this situation, so they simply took him home temporarily."

"Then didn't the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore say anything?" Hugo asked, puzzled.

"You know, since Harry is regarded as the savior of the wizarding world, wouldn't they consider Harry's safety? Don't forget that Sirius Black is still wandering outside this year. In this case, letting Harry live in the home of someone who doesn't know magic may not be a good idea."

"Hood and Firefly met Professor McGonagall at the door of the house when they took Harry home, but after she confirmed that Harry was safe, she allowed Harry to live in Hood's house." Enterprise also showed a puzzled expression.

"Actually, when I received this information three days ago, I also felt a little unbelievable, but later I realized that this choice is not strange."

"In the original story, Harry was arranged to stay at the Leaky Cauldron. Compared to that place, Hood's house has previously set up a lot of protective magic, and the degree of safety is not worse than the crowded Leaky Cauldron."

"I think this may be the reason why Professor McGonagall allowed Harry to live with Hood after asking Harry's plans."

"Okay, what a pleasant surprise," Hugo said with a smile. He would bet that the ship girls most likely didn't just accidentally meet him as Enterprise said, but were likely trying to give him a surprise.

But in this case, Hugo naturally knew that it was best for him to remain silent now, pretending to believe that the current situation was really caused by a series of accidents.

After finishing the work at hand, it was almost time, so Hugo changed into his school uniform, and then went to the Ministry of Magic with Hood, who was wearing a dress uniform, to attend the award ceremony.

Unexpectedly, when Hugo and Enterprise arrived at the visitor entrance of the Ministry of Magic, they saw Headmaster Dumbledore, wearing a purple robe, standing there waiting for them.

"Headmaster, why are you here?" Seeing Dumbledore standing here, Hugo's face showed a shocked expression.

After all, he wasn't the kind of arrogant person who knew that he had indeed made some contributions this time, but under the premise of not exposing the identity of the ship girls, it shouldn't be enough to make Dumbledore wait for him specially.

As for the saying that he valued the honor of the Order of Merlin, First Class, that would be even more ridiculous. People like Fudge or Percy might be interested in this kind of thing, but with Professor Dumbledore's experience, he had long passed that superficial age.

"I'm here to take you to the award ceremony," Professor Dumbledore said with a smile. "The visitor entrance of the Ministry of Magic is full of people now. If you go down from here, you probably won't be able to get out of the siege of those reporters for a while."

"So, after notifying Minister Fudge, I came up to pick you up and prepare to send you directly to the hall."

After explaining, Headmaster Dumbledore pulled Hugo and Enterprise, and then used the phoenix to teleport them directly to a hall in the Ministry of Magic.

For Hugo, receiving the First Class Medal this time should be considered something expected. Because among the reasons for receiving the Order of Merlin, the First Class Medal is used to reward "outstanding courage or extraordinary magic."

Under Nicolas Flamel's operation, in order to avoid exposing the ship girls, the other party concealed the major contributions made by the ship girls at sea at that time and transferred the credit for rescuing the hostages to Hugo.

In this case, the matter became a young wizard who was only in his third year of school using various means to fight wits and courage with terrorists in dangerous situations, and finally successfully rescued the hostages.

In the beginning, some members of the Order of Merlin opposed awarding Hugo such an honor because he was too young, but in the end, under the pressure of the British and other countries' Ministries of Magic, they finally made a decision to agree.

The reason why the Ministry of Magic took action was because this incident was too embarrassing for the European wizarding world. Therefore, they had to find a highlight to divert everyone's attention.

Obviously, Hugo was such a highlight. So, under the joint nomination of Professor Dumbledore and Minister Fudge, he finally successfully obtained the Order of Merlin, First Class.

After simply cooperating with the reporters to take a few photos, Hugo and Enterprise sat down in the designated seats and waited quietly for the start of the ceremony.

The new book "Treasure Hunt Starts from Britain" has been released, everyone can take a look.
