"It's really surprising. Is this the world in your eyes?"
"Almost, but now it's time to say 'we'."
On the walkway of Hogwarts Castle, Grindelwald and Benítez walked forward quickly while talking.
The injection and transformation process of the werewolf potion was far gentler and simpler than the two imagined. They even thought for a time that the potion was not effective.
However, when Jose Benitez looked at the two-winged boar statue in front of the gate of Hogwarts and asked if he had arrived at his destination, this doubt also dissipated.
"Special magic has been cast around Hogwarts, including Muggle expulsion spells, unplottable spells, hidden magic, etc..."
As Grindelwald spoke, he pointed towards the towering, quaint castle not far away.
"If you were a Muggle, all you would see was ruins - and most likely you wouldn't be able to see clearly."
"Because before you step into the main entrance of Hogwarts, the Muggle Expelling Curse will take effect first, reminding you of urgent matters and leaving."
As the new castle administrator of Hogwarts and one of the most powerful wizards recognized in this century, Grindelwald can be said to be the most suitable person to serve as a guide at the moment.
What prompted him to change was the new light that bloomed on Benitez:
The picture Elena painted two or three years ago is gradually becoming a reality.
Muggles from the non-magical world can be transformed into magical people, even those who he once despised and looked down upon as "without magical talents".
But from this moment on, the wall between the non-magical world and the magical world really cracked, and the magical era that only existed in fantasy came without warning.
"...What if the most urgent thing is to enter Hogwarts Castle?"
Jose Benitez looked around curiously. This was not his first visit to Hogwarts.
However, most of the ways he arrived here before were teleported by professors and house elves. This was the first time he entered through the main entrance.
The more important point was that he could vaguely detect the restlessness hidden under his priest's robe, as well as the strange pulse of blood flowing around his body.
With the injection of the tube of "Werewolf Serum", the world seemed to shed a hazy veil in front of him - seemingly unchanged, but everything seemed to become clearer.
Benitez looked at the castle getting closer and closer in front of him, gestured around a few times, and asked with some confusion.
"Well, what I mean is...does the security of Hogwarts only rely on people's subconscious uncertainties..."
"The protective measures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry come from thousands of wizards, sir."
Before Grindelwald could answer, a voice sounded in front of the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, a translucent ghost knight quietly appeared.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Benitez. I am the resident ghost of Gryffindor House. You can call me Sir Nicholas."
The ghost said hello to Benitez simply and elegantly, then turned to look at Grindelwald next to him.
"Miss Caslana received Dumbledore's message, and she is now 'looking' for you all over the castle."
"Looking for me?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, with a hint of danger in his heart.
"Yes, of course you can also use another word - hunting."
After a half-second pause, Nick, who was almost headless, spread his hands and added softly with a smile.
"...So you were also involved in this matter?"
Grindelwald narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Nick thoughtfully.
"The three Major Arcana voted on a temporary basis. This is in compliance with the regulations... a special case."
The almost headless Nick replied calmly, glanced at the first "serum werewolf", and continued calmly.
"Miss Kaslana follows the rules. This is her most admirable character, so we must also abide by the rules. You can identify me as the person who made the suggestion."
"Or Dumbledore... Anyway, one is not in Hogwarts, and the other is an untouchable ghost."
Grindelwald snorted. Dumbledore was as steady as ever when it came to scheming people.
However, even without this back-up preparation, he originally planned to throw all the blame away.
"Uh-sorry... Sir Nicholas."
Benitez raised his hand and quickly recovered from the shock of seeing the ghost.
"Kaslana...did she cause trouble in the castle? I just heard you say that she was...hunting...er...searching...all over the castle..."
"Hmm?! Haven't you explained it to Mr. Benitez yet?"
Nick, who was almost headless, turned his head to look at Grindelwald, his brows furrowed, as if he was dissatisfied.
"Mr. Tower, you actually handed the 'serum' into the hands of a person who doesn't understand the whole story and hasn't made a complete judgment?! You know what kind of danger this is to the organization!"
He quickly glanced at Benitez, who looked puzzled, and his expression suddenly became serious. The temperature around him seemed to have dropped several degrees in an instant.
"You know the importance of Miss Kaslana very well. If Mr. Benitez has an uncontrollable situation, it will even directly affect her authority."
"Well, I think it's best to let the girl do it herself."
Grindelwald replied calmly, patted the somewhat confused middle-aged man next to him, and continued.
"This is not only a special resolution of the Great Arcana Council, but also a family matter of our Apokalis family. It is not as complicated as you think - don't you think so, son?"
"...Council? Resolution? Major Arcana...Risk..."
Benitez was in no mood to pay attention to the taking advantage of the old man next to him, and turned to look at Grindelwald solemnly.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say before that Elena is a very talented little witch, so you decided to focus on cultivating her..."
"Why does it sound like she is involved in one of your mysterious organizations in the magical world?"
Benitez looked back at the past when he joined the fraternity, and his face became a little ugly. He never thought that Elena would be involved in this when she was studying in a magic school.
"The child is only twelve years old this year. Even if he wants to discover some potential star, isn't it too early?! I think-"
"Ahem——"
At this moment, Grindelwald coughed twice and raised his hand to interrupt Benitez's words.
The old wizard blinked and said with a slightly strange expression.
"Well...my dear son, do you know that the founder of our organization...well, the Great Arcana Council is...the cute little Elena? In a sense, she is now equivalent to,
The underground queen of most of the European wizarding world."
"No matter who it is, I still think that at her age now - Huh?"
The rest of Benitez's words choked in his throat.
He looked at the old wizard not far away in disbelief, and then at Mr. Ghost who nodded in agreement.
Um……
Uh-huh...
Benitez rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and his mood was quite complicated.
It seems that at this parent-teacher meeting, he has a lot to discuss with the child about the troubles of adolescence.
