Unlike the Muggle area in the scenic area that was purposely cleared but most of the wizards were not interested in, Alan's various identities finally worked. This made Hermione and the others, who did not want to stay with Alan and his uncles, a little annoyed.
Although many contestants were too embarrassed to come forward because they were afraid of Allen's strength, or because the rules of this competition clearly stated that they had to fight against Harris, some contestants from other countries came forward to greet Allen warmly and said some flattering words. These contestants were either appointed by the Ministry of Magic of their country for the sake of the floating city, or those who came to ask for an autograph because their children and wives were fans of Allen.
"Hey, there you are." A young female voice came from behind Allen. Jessica was a little embarrassed to find that her voice had attracted everyone's attention. She moved her feet and then noticed the babies. "Are these the new daughters of Minister Owen? Uh … Why is there one more? Are you premature?!!! "
Jessica's outfit was different from when she first came to Hogwarts. Her hair was no longer tied into a ponytail or simply coiled on top of her head. Instead, it was combed into a rather classical hairstyle. Two braids from her temples intersected on top of her head, decorated with pearl hairpins, while the rest of her hair was draped over her back. This hairstyle was obviously specially designed to match her University of Hogwarts uniform. This kind of ancient-style magic robe looked very beautiful on Jessica's slender figure. She also held the magic staff issued by the school in her hand and looked like a witch who had walked out of an ancient painting.
"Uh … It's Luna who gave birth prematurely … To be exact, there are two babies. She's carrying them in the private room upstairs." Allen noticed the change in her hairstyle and was a little embarrassed by her reaction. "The one in my arms is my son Zhou …" He coughed to avoid mentioning the name and corrected her. "The one in Penello's arms is my sister, and the one in Hermione's arms is my adopted daughter …" Then he saw Jessica's haggard brother behind them. "Oh, Ian, we haven't seen each other for a while …"
"I saw you the other day at the International Union of Wizards and Wizards meeting." Ian responded dryly and awkwardly avoided mentioning Roland's name. He felt like there was a fire burning in his chest, and it was unbearable.
Hermione, who was carrying Delphi, and Penello, who was carrying Friday, also came over. Hermione took the initiative to greet Jessica and looked at Ian. Thinking that the Ian's attack was the reason why the potion was leaked, Hermione pursed her lips. But since it had nothing to do with Jessica, there was no need to embarrass Jessica. The kind-hearted Hermione took the initiative to start a conversation. "Jessica, after we went shopping together last time, Lockhart heard that you bought 'Breaking Away with the Death Eaters'. He wanted me to ask your opinion on the book, and maybe you'll have a chance to get his autograph …"
After Penello recognized Ian, she reached for her wand, but the touch of the child in her arms made her hesitate. She then noticed Allen secretly shaking his head at her, so she obediently let go of her wand.
"This is my younger brother, Ian Knox. He's also a contestant in the duel tournament." Jessica braced herself and introduced him. She turned around and gave Ian a warning look. Jessica's whole body was a little tense. Her brother attacked Harris's research institute, which led to serious consequences … Although the Umbrella Association had to bear more responsibility for illegally researching these dangerous items … Jessica did not think that it was the right time for them to meet. But she could not dissuade her brother, so she brought him here.
"Ian, how's your Curled Winged Demon?" Allen's tone was as friendly as ever. "Last summer, if I didn't borrow Venom from Mr. Newt Scamander last summer, I might have to come to you."
"It's doing well," Ian said in a suppressed voice. Seeing his old friend Allen being so friendly, his eyes were a little sour.
Allen looked at Ian's complexion. As a contestant, he didn't look so good. His hair was messy, his face was a little pale, and the dark circles on his eyes were bigger than his own. He was nervously holding his hands and staring with bloodshot eyes …
Then, Allen frowned and took out his pocket watch. He said, "Hermione, Penello, it's getting late. Let's go upstairs to the private room. Kakarov and the others can invite us to meet again for dinner … Speaking of which, we have children with us … It's not convenient for them to take students with them." Then he looked up at Ian. "Ian, I don't know what you want to ask. I'm also looking for him."
Hearing that the other party wanted to leave, Ian looked up instantly and blurted out anxiously, "Allen, you know that I want to ask about Anenius? If you don't know where he is, what other information do you have? "
"Has your brain been eaten by the Curly Winged Demon? Your skin is thicker than a poisonous horned beast's!" Penello raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily, "You came to attack the mansion and now you have the nerve to ask us about his whereabouts! Who knows where this kind of sneaky person will go … "
Hermione's face darkened. She was already angry at the people who attacked the mansion because of the death of so many Muggle in Raccoon City. Now that the other party dared to ask Allen about the whereabouts of his accomplice, they were obviously indirectly accusing Allen of capturing and imprisoning Anenius … Hermione raised her chin and glared at Ian with her brown eyes. Her curly brown hair seemed to be even more fluffy.
Ian was stunned. His bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Penello who just scolded him. He raised his voice and retorted, "Although it's illegal for us to attack the mansion, Umbrella broke the law first. They secretly developed such a dangerous drug in the United States …"
Hermione took two steps forward with Delphi in her arms. She looked at Ian as if he was an exploding conch. She pointed out the Ian's mistake logically. "Even if Umbrella made some dangerous drugs, they were still safe. If it wasn't for your sudden attack, there wouldn't have been any danger of the drug being leaked. It was because of your actions that so many Muggle died. "
Ian's face turned pale. Just as Hermione said, although he didn't know how the drug was leaked, this incident was indeed directly related to their actions.
"My brother is responsible …" Jessica saw that Ian was being attacked by both Hermione and Penello at the same time. Her heart ached and her attitude suddenly hardened. She stood in front of Ian and argued with a stiff tone, "The law of the United States of Magic states that dangerous experiments can't be carried out because of the possibility of accidents in case of a sudden attack like this … Isn't this proven right now? Ian's intrusion alone has already caused such a terrible result. If there are worse and more malicious dark wizards, then it won't be just Raccoon City that will be harmed … "
"Normal dark wizards don't have the means to investigate my people's activities." Penello was a bit annoyed. She already knew some things, but she couldn't say that it was because of the madwoman's interference that the security system she built was broken. However, she didn't want to admit defeat and began to argue, "Do you think you're good enough to enter the duel competition? Do you think you're worthy of our attention?"
"Of course you don't care about others. They dared to cross the United States of Magic and destroy Muggle City under our jurisdiction. What else can't they do?"
Penello turned around and strode towards Hermione. When she was about to untie the child's back, Jessica suddenly exclaimed.
Ian's magic robe was on fire. Delphi, who was in Hermione's arms, was dancing excitedly. Babies could feel the emotions of adults. After all, the children of Owen and Allen were too young. Delphi could feel the anger of Hermione, so she used her magic to ignite Ian's magic robe.
"Stop!" Alan raised his voice a little. The flames on Ian's body disappeared without a trace before he could extinguish them. Even his clothes were fixed. "Ian, we didn't restrict Mr. Fausz Graves' freedom. Just like I said just now, I saw through your thoughts just now, so we also want to find him …"
Ian, who was angry, put down his wand when he saw the fire was extinguished. He once again realized the gap between him and Allen. When he saw that it was only a baby who ignited his magic robe, he couldn't help but feel sullen and amused.
"I'm really sorry. Delphi still doesn't know her limits. She's only casting spells based on her feelings. For that, I have to apologize on her behalf. " Hermione bowed to Ian with Delphi in her arms. She then looked up and said, "As for other things, I don't think there's any point in us talking about it."
"What's there to apologize for? Weak … This little girl did well." Penello raised his chin and glanced at Hermione from the corner of his eyes. Then, for the first time, he gave an encouraging smile to Lord Voldemort's daughter. "This little girl did well. Maybe you should let me raise her."
"No way!" Hermione rejected. She didn't expect to start arguing with Penello in front of others. She focused her attention back on Delphi. She was worried that Delphi, the daughter of The Dark Lord, would be influenced by her. Now that she saw the little girl using magic to hurt others, she couldn't help but lecture her in a stern tone like how Professor Mag lectured his students. "Delphi, we have to learn to control our anger. You can't just set people on fire like this. When you grow up, you can challenge him to a duel … Also, although I don't agree with it, I'm very grateful that you did this.
"As for who was wrong about the potion leak, it's useless for the few of us to argue here. Since everyone is a little agitated now, let's split up for a while and calm down." Seeing that they weren't too agitated, Allen lowered his voice like usual. He was just about to turn around when he stopped and looked at Delphi again. "Ian, politics is all hypocrisy. Listen to my advice. This is very complicated. You won't be able to grasp it … Just be your Aura."
