The students at Hogwarts did not change because Owen was not there. They did their morning exercises, attended classes, studied, played, and lived their own different campus lives.
But the professors were the ones most affected.
Even though the Hogwarts teaching team has expanded, the students are now much more eager to learn than ever before!
Every day, countless questions flood the professors' minds. Some are insightful, while others are rather naive. The way Irving answers the students is something the professors don't know. So sometimes, even after Irving answers once, the students are still not convinced and have to ask again.
Even so, the professors never considered having Irving return early.
The wizard's journey is also a course. Because the learning progress is too fast, but he is not old enough, Owen cannot take the O, W, L and N, E, W, T exams. He can only wait.
But the professors didn't want to hinder Irving's progress because of this, so they made this arrangement. Although it's a bit tiring, it's much better than before, and they can handle it.
But while they managed to withstand it, the U.S. Ministry of Magic on the other side was on the verge of collapse!
Back then, the entire American Ministry of Magic was on tenterhooks because Newt brought his suitcase to America, fearing that he might accidentally spill its contents.
Then, an even younger one arrived, and what he possessed was even more dangerous. Newt was a magical creature, while this young wizard had all sorts of dark magical creatures in his hands!
If the young wizard were to encounter any problems in the big city, the U.S. Ministry of Magic would be doomed!
So the Aurors set out, but while they were out, they were quite unsure where to go, because that British kid was incredibly mobile and moved without any discernible pattern.
He might be in some valley in the West today, watching the NBA in New York tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow, he might be on the East Coast.
A teenage wizard was able to leave a spending record in more than twenty states in less than ten days.
Where are we supposed to find them?
They've barely run off when the little wizard might already be on the other side of the country.
Of course, there are difficulties, but no matter how great the difficulty, as long as you are determined, you can overcome it. For example, right now, Owen heard about the goat-headed beast and rushed over, only to find that there were no monsters at all, just Aurors from the American Ministry of Magic. They used a false rumor to trap Owen here.
Owen was aware that the U.S. Ministry of Magic had sent people to chase him, but he really couldn't bear to leave. The U.S. was much larger than the United Kingdom, and with such a large map, all sorts of strange things could happen. He had only been there a few days, but he had already captured quite a few examples.
But now that he was cornered, he was a lone wolf and, without saying a word, followed the American Aurors, going straight to the airport.
The U.S. Ministry of Magic chartered a plane and dispatched five squads of Aurors to deliver him directly to the gates of the British Ministry of Magic.
Upon hearing the news, Minister Fudge personally rushed out. Looking at the smiling young wizard, then at the neatly arranged American Aurors behind him, Fudge turned his gaze to Owen: "What are you doing—"
"Alright, I've arrived. Would you all like to stay for a British meal? It's on me!"
The American Aurors instantly lost their composure. The man gave a wry smile, while the woman grabbed Owen's face and said, "You brat, can you even eat British food? And you're treating us? What are you planning to eat?"
"A famous British dish, Stargazing."
When the name of the dish was announced, not only the Americans, but even the people at the British Ministry of Magic burst into laughter. Of course, since they had brought the person back from afar, they still had to eat, but instead of British food, they ate French food. This meal was paid for by the British Ministry of Magic.
When Jomillie, the captain of the Auror squad at the U.S. Ministry of Magic, reported that Owen was carrying at least seven dark magical creatures, she suddenly realized that the British didn't seem to react much.
Puzzled, she naturally asked, "Aren't you afraid? Owen carries so many dark magic creatures with him; if they escape, it could cause a huge uproar."
Fudge laughed and said, "It's alright, Owen is very strong. Besides, you can rest assured now that we're here!"
The confidence on the British side doesn't stem from Owen's abilities, but from Dumbledore. Whenever needed, someone can be sent directly to the Headmaster's office via the Floo Network.
But the Americans didn't know that; they genuinely thought it was Irving.
In any case, this trip can be considered complete, and the underground prison of Hogwarts has finally found its purpose. However, these captured teaching materials still need to undergo preliminary processing.
For example, with vampires, you first have to remove their sharp fangs that they use to bite people and suck blood. Also, you have to plant spells on them to prevent them from turning into bats and escaping.
And for the Gorgon, she'd need contact lenses; you can't expect all the students to wear glasses, can you? That would be too expensive.
And then there are the American goblins. Just use the Imperius Curse on them and turn them into idiots one by one. These creatures have no conscience whatsoever.
All seven or eight different items were locked in the dungeon. When teaching materials were needed, a professor would come and bring them to the classroom.
But this year is different, because final exams are coming up soon and the students are all reviewing, so there are no new lessons.
During this time, Irving also joined the teaching team. He was to work with the professors from the first to third years to provide supplementary training for the students.
Curses? Then we'll overcome them one by one.
Transfiguration, let's do it one at a time.
Identify the herbs one by one.
Potions, taught step by step.
There are no fools among those who can become wizards. Even Draco's two fat little henchmen from back then have now become strong and capable young wizards. When the two of them stand there, they no longer make people laugh, but rather feel quite reliable.
"Mr. Goyle, calm down. Yes, very good, excellent. Now, raise your wand, aim it at your target, and with your unwavering will and imagination, steadfastly recite the spell!"
With a determined look, Gore pointed at the large pot and said, "Thunderous explosion!"
"Bang!"
The giant pot was blasted high into the air, then Draco caught it with a levitation spell and gently brought it down. He opened it, revealing a large pot of popcorn inside. Owen nodded approvingly: "Perfect appearance, and the taste is authentic. Mr. Goyle, I must congratulate you, you've succeeded!"
Gore, whose expression had been somewhat tense, suddenly broke into a goofy smile: "Thank you, Owen. Without your guidance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have succeeded. Also, is there really a market for this kind of rice-based dessert you mentioned?"
Irving laughed heartily: "Whether it works out or not, we'll find out at dinner tonight, won't we?"
