Chapter 352: No Reunion of Old Friends
Khalil was stunned and burst out laughing: "This is impossible!"
"Why isn't it possible?"
Granwhite asked as he walked out of the cave carrying a huge travel bag.
"Because the Vader I know can't do magic, and he's just a little idiot who can only read!"
Carlile said confidently: "He must be wearing thick glasses now, studying advanced mathematics or chess at St. Paul's School. He might even be bullied by his classmates, and he's looking forward to my revenge for him!"
The two men were so focused on their conversation that they walked past Vader without noticing the peregrine falcon hiding among the fallen leaves and weeds at the edge of the cave.
After all, the peregrine falcon that Wade transformed into was not yet a full-grown adult. When it folded its wings, its size was about the same as that of an ordinary crow, and its dark feathers provided excellent concealment at night.
Granwhite said speechlessly: "I told you a long time ago, watch less TV. Do you think that people who study well are all nerds like those on TV?"
Khalil said confidently: "That's Vader - although he may not wear glasses."
"Boy, stop talking nonsense to me, listen--"
Granwhite said in a serious tone: "The Vid Grey I'm talking about is the person you know, but he is not some bullied nerd, but a budding genius alchemist!"
Khalil seemed so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time.
The two men walked along the path in the forest, stepping on the thick branches and leaves on the ground, making a crunching sound under their feet.
The forest was very dark, but they managed to avoid various obstacles on the road without any lighting.
Vader followed silently in the air behind, stopping from time to time to keep a distance.
In order to avoid being discovered, he couldn't get too close, but fortunately the forest was very quiet and Wade could clearly hear the conversation between the two.
"Weider Grey is now very much valued by Dumbledore. He invented the Flowing Mirror, the Book of Friends, and the Golem, and is a partner of Aslan's magic workshop."
Granwhite continued, "The Ryujin and the Book of Friends are actually nothing. The leader wants to get the method of making puppets and even sent people to sneak into Aslan's magic workshop for this purpose."
"But later, our people discovered that the production of the puppet was broken down into dozens of steps, and the production of the magic materials was kept completely secret. Even if we bribed one or two of the employees, there was no way to obtain this technology."
"There are only a handful of people in the world who fully master the method of making puppets. Among them, Vid Grey is the easiest and most valuable."
"The leader hopes that we can get the method of making puppets from Vid Grey, and it would be best if we can convince him to work for us voluntarily."
"So do you understand, Khalil? Why did you, a kid who hasn't even graduated from the training camp, get sent out on this mission?"
The enthusiastic and cheerful smile on Khalil's face had long disappeared. He was silent for a long time before he whispered:
"So what are we going to do? Kidnap Vader... kidnap Gray?"
Granwhite shook his head. "More than a month ago, the action team took a risk and tried it once, but all the people they sent were wiped out... We don't even know who did it."
"Now that Vider Grey has returned to Hogwarts, with Dumbledore here, it is almost impossible to take Vider Grey away."
"But I heard that we have people in that school." Khalil asked tentatively: "Can't we use the portkey..."
"Silly boy, tracking the portkey is easier than you think! Do you want to expose the organization's secret base to a great wizard like Dumbledore?"
Granwhite said with his eyes wide open, his fear of Dumbledore evident in his words.
He patted the boy on the head and scolded him: "I can see that you didn't pay attention in class, or you didn't get whipped enough!" Khalil smiled and said: "Don't blame me, the theory class is too boring - then what does the leader want me to do?"
"Don't be impatient. We need to wait for the right time. Change your face first and find a chance to meet with Vide Grey... Since you have been friends since childhood, it should be easy to establish friendship even if you change your appearance..."
Granwhite spoke of their plan, subconsciously lowering his voice.
After talking for a while, Khalil asked, "Can you find a way for me to transfer to Hogwarts? I'm outside and he's in school, so I won't have the chance to carry out the mission."
"What do you think Hogwarts is—a Muggle school?"
Granwhite said unhappily, "You can transfer to another school, but I'm afraid your true identity will be exposed as soon as you step in - I heard there is a kind of advanced magic that can reveal a person's real name."
"No one can tell how many protective spells are cast on a school with a thousand-year history like Hogwarts, so if you want to sneak in under a disguise, forget it!"
Although Granwhite was scolding Khalil verbally, he was actually cursing his colleagues who had taken Khalil away for not handling the follow-up properly.
If the disappearance of underage wizards had not caused a stir in the British wizarding world, Caryl would have been able to enter Hogwarts as a transfer student.
In this way, when old friends meet again, everything they do will go much more smoothly.
Khalil yawned and didn't take Granwhite's words seriously.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at the lights of the Muggle town in the distance, his blue eyes looking very clear.
They walked into the town, knocked on the door of a shabby hotel in the middle of the night, and stayed there.
The night birds were startled by the knock on the door and flew up, then fluttered down.
There were two dark brown owls perched on the branches outside the hotel window. They were turning their heads to look for mice, when suddenly a bird appeared behind them.
The owl turned its head 180 degrees and stared seriously at the peregrine falcon behind it, making a "whoosh, whoosh" sound.
The peregrine falcon stared at them.
Fortunately, these two owls are long-eared owls, which fly slowly and have good tempers. If they were eagle owls, they would have jumped up and caused trouble for the peregrine falcon by now.
Then Wade saw that the owl, which seemed to have a pair of squirrel ears, moved sideways a few steps to give him enough space, and then the long-eared owl stared at the sparrows on the nearby electric wires, as if in a daze.
The peregrine falcon accepted the owl's kindness and took two steps forward. The three birds stood side by side, looking very harmonious at first glance.
Wade was very satisfied with his current position. He didn't even need to turn his head to see Khalil and Granwhite who had just entered the guest room.
After the two men put down the packages, they did not rest immediately.
Khalil pushed the TV aside, stuffed a scarlet lollipop into his mouth, took out his mirror, sat on the bed and continued to stare at the outer wall of the Hog's Head.
Granwhite took out a pen and a notebook, and as he opened them, several photos fell out.
He spat and leaned over to pick it up.
The Peregrine Falcon narrowed his eyes slightly.
He saw pictures of werewolves Will and Lupin, as well as the female werewolf Claire.
