Ancient magic, the peak of human magic, achieved by one of the four founders.
It was shattered in less than a second by the sheer power of the Kaiju’s bio-electrical signal strength and magical reserves, a demonstration of ‘one force breaking all laws’.
Canberra successfully probed the hidden creature she had intended to investigate.
Just a small snake?
What was there to hide?
Canberra fell into a brief contemplation, reviewing the bio-electrical information feedback in her mind.
Such effort, just to hide a small snake.
How interesting.
Withdrawing her bio-electrical signals and magic, Canberra continued to leisurely stir the Black Lake water.
Completely unaware that, at this moment in the Hogwarts Great Hall, from Headmaster Dumbledore down to all the Little Wizards, regardless of age or magical strength…
Every person was drenched in sweat, as if they had just been pulled from the water, unable to utter a single word.
Just moments ago, an immense sense of dread and a colossal amount of magic had enveloped them, even if only for two seconds.
Even though the target wasn’t them, it had rendered them immobile, sweating profusely.
It wasn’t until Canberra withdrew her bio-electrical signals and magic that they in the Great Hall slowly recovered with difficulty.
“W-what just happened?” a still trembling Little Wizard stammered, asking.
The Little Wizard sitting next to him also shook his head with difficulty, indicating that he didn’t know either.
Headmaster Dumbledore was the first to regain his composure.
He stood up, extending his hands to soothe the students in the Great Hall.
“Children, there’s no need to worry.
Professor and I are here, and no one will be harmed.” His back was ramrod straight, showing no sign of discomposure.
The Little Wizards gradually calmed down.
Even the Slytherin, who were most dissatisfied with him and looked down on him the most, had to admit that with Headmaster Dumbledore’s words, their hearts slowly relaxed.
Soon, the sound of students conversing once again filled the Great Hall.
Headmaster Dumbledore returned to his seat.
His gaze drifted towards the Great Hall windows.
It must have been that child, Canberra, who caused it.
Among the new students, she was the only one he could think of who could cause such a big commotion.
Thinking of the terrified Goblins in Gringotts earlier, he shook his head with a smile.
No wonder they were so scared.
This child was indeed quite frightening.
But then, recalling the letters sent daily for a week by Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron…
And the words within, seemingly condemning and disliking Canberra, but in reality expressing helplessness and indulgence, Headmaster Dumbledore’s long white beard revealed an even wider smile.
A sincere apology and compensation could still lead people to indulge some of her mischievous behavior.
One could only say that Canberra was indeed mischievous with a sense of propriety and politeness, completely unlike that person from before who appeared flawless on the surface but dared to commit any evil deed.
“Albus, what was that just now?” Professor Flitwick leaned forward, concerned, seeing Headmaster Dumbledore smiling with his head bowed.
Headmaster Dumbledore shook his head, “Nothing, just a Little Wizard being a bit mischievous.” A Little Wizard?
A bit mischievous?
At this, not just Professor Flitwick, but all the Professor on the teachers’ table looked at him in unison.
Did he even hear what he was saying?
With that display just now, ‘Little Wizard’ and ‘mischievous’?
What kind of Little Wizard was that?
Had Merlin himself reincarnated and returned to Hogwarts to study?
However, Headmaster Dumbledore clearly had no intention of explaining further.
He smiled, looking towards the Great Hall doors, evidently waiting for the new students to enter.
The small boats slowly docked at the shore.
Canberra didn’t wait for Hermione to stand up but instead picked her up first, standing up and stepping steadily from the boat onto the shore.
Carrying a person, her movements were even more agile than Harry and Ron, the two boys, which made them exchange glances.
Both felt a bit disheartened…
Hermione seemed to have become somewhat “accustomed” after being carried by Canberra on the previous journey.
This time, her cheeks weren’t flushed crimson; they were only faintly red as she wrapped her arms around Canberra’s neck, allowing herself to be carried to the Hogwarts entrance.
Canberra held Hermione steadily, her eyes fixed on the entrance.
Hagrid stepped forward and knocked three heavy times, and the Hogwarts doors swung open.
Professor McGonagall stood at the entrance, gazing sternly at the Little Wizards, though a closer look would reveal that her fringe was clearly damp with sweat, clinging tightly to her forehead.
“Thank you, Hagrid.
I’ll take it from here.” She nodded to Hagrid, her gaze lingering for a moment on Canberra, who was carrying Hermione in the crowd, before turning and leading the new students into Hogwarts Castle.
Inside Hogwarts Castle, it was undoubtedly brightly lit, so Canberra also put Hermione down.
Hermione, with a faint blush, followed Canberra into Hogwarts Castle.
Not far behind the two, Neville had also retrieved his toad, Trevor, from Hagrid and was politely thanking him.
Following Professor McGonagall all the way to a small room, the pink and white tentacles beneath Canberra’s Wizard robe slowly wriggled on the ground, leaving damp trails.
“Wait quietly here for a moment.
I’ll go prepare something and then come back to get you.” Professor McGonagall instructed, then exited the small room.
As soon as she left, the new students eagerly began talking to each other, and many Little Wizards directed their gaze towards Canberra.
A large number of girls covered their mouths, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Canberra’s pink and white tentacle tips.
Perhaps dark tentacles might make people uncomfortable, but what if they were pink and white?
What if they looked refreshing instead of slimy?
That could be quite attractive!
Feeling the gazes of these human Little Cub around her, Canberra indifferently shifted her gaze to the wall diagonally above.
It seemed something was coming over there.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
