The old car became a burden. By the time they drove to the Ministry of Magic in London, it would take much longer than using Transfiguration. Therefore, when Allen arrived at the Mysterious Creature Management Department, Luna was already there.
Luna was sitting in Josephine Harris's office. Harris was sitting on a chair in his office, playing with a pair of black plush earmuffs. At this time, the female ghost that was imprisoned in the ghost department was prepared for Eren and Luna. They wanted to study the female ghost and the naughty ghost so that Helena could have the sense of touch, taste, and other senses that only humans could have.
When Josephine saw Allen and Penello, she put down the document in her hands. "Okay, everyone's here. Let's go to the Ghost Department. That female ghost has been a headache for the staff for a long time."
Ministry of Magic? Mysterious Creature Management Department? In front of the Ghost Department. "Put on the earmuffs. The female ghost's screams are fatal." Harris handed a pair of black fluffy earmuffs to Eren and a pair of black fluffy earmuffs to Luna beside Eren. He took off his hat and put on a pair of pink fluffy earmuffs. Then he quickly put the hat back on his head and tidied up the ribbons on the hat.
Penello ignored the earmuffs. As Allen's guard, she prepared to guard the door.
Seeing that Allen had put on the earmuffs, Josephine pushed the door open. What entered her sight was a pentagram with a female ghost trapped inside. Her black hair touched the ground, and her face was like a skeleton, glowing green. Her mouth was wide open, and she was screaming.
Josephine pointed at the female ghost and signaled for Allen to take her away.
Allen felt that this female ghost was nothing compared to his childhood nightmare. Luna beside him opened her pouch and pointed it at the female ghost. Before Josephine could release her, she stuffed the ghost into the pouch.
Everyone took off their earmuffs, and Josephine hung her pink, plush earplugs around her neck. She said with disdain, "When we caught this female ghost in Ireland, she had already killed three Muggles. The forest she was in had become a forbidden area for the Muggles there. The three Muggles were said to be film students. They came to investigate the local legend of witches and planned to make a documentary, but not long after, they met the witch who had already become a female ghost and lost their lives."
Allen was curious. "What was the female ghost's name when she was alive?"
"Blair. She was a witch who liked to play pranks on Muggle. She liked to make wooden dummies out of tree branches to scare the Muggle. The Ministry of Magic warned her many times about this." Josephine shrugged.
"Just a little more research on Naughty Ghost." Luna slung her pouch over her arm. It looked like she was going to go back immediately.
"Okay." Allen knew Luna's purpose, and this was what he wanted. He returned the earmuffs to Josephine and said, "Thank you, Aunt Josephine."
"By the way, when we were catching the female ghost, we also got another rare and strange thing — Lethifold. (Lethifold and Lord Voldemort are actually different in English.) The Northmore in our department? Kalisses was attacked by a Lethifold Bat when he was sleeping. Fortunately, in order to catch the female ghost without fail, a lot of people were sent. The staff who slept with him woke up when he was struggling to suffocate. Together with the other staff, they used a Guardian Charm to chase him back and lock him up. This is very rare. After all, although the Lethifold Bat is rated as a three-star danger, it's a very rare creature that can only be found in tropical areas. Do you want to see if it's useful to you? "Josephine said.
"Of course I'm interested." Allen had only read about the Lethifold Bat in books. To be able to see and study it personally was an irresistible temptation for Allen. "As far as I know, the earliest description of the Lethifold Bat was written by a wizard named Fleetwood Bollard. It was recorded by a wizard named Fleetwood Bollard. In 1782, when he was on vacation in Papua New Guinea, he was attacked by a Lethifold Bat and survived. Other than that, there are very few descriptions of the Lethifold Bat. "
"Now you can see it alive. Let's go to the Dangerous Creatures Committee in the Office of Beast Control. Kalisses and the Lethifold Bat are there. The Guardian Charm is the only known charm that can chase away the Lethifold Bat. Therefore, we arranged for the staff to take turns watching over the Lethifold Bat. If there's any sign of it escaping, we'll use the Guardian Charm to make sure it's trapped in a corner and has nowhere to run. " Josephine opened the door and led Allen out. Penello followed behind Allen. Luna had already teleported away. It seemed like she was going to experiment on the female ghost immediately.
"I wonder if this thing can be your Animagus. It's also called the Living Shroud.
Although Shroud's attacks are a little weak, it can only be expelled by the Guardian Spell just like the Dementors. From this point of view, its defense is pretty good. "Allen pondered as he thought about the characteristics of this creature and the fact that his family members had yet to transform.
"Actually … Allen …" Josephine looked like she wanted to say something, but she still decided to tell her nephew. "Actually, it was Owen who told us not to transform in advance. You know that we've already attracted a lot of attention before we took the position of department head. Owen wanted to postpone the transformation. Recklessly collecting dangerous magical creatures is too eye-catching. He wanted to lessen the pressure on Family Harris."
Allen was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Only then did he understand the painstaking efforts of his family. Except for the Manticore Manticore, which he requested, they did not carry out this match for the tacit understanding of the family and postponed the matter of transforming into Animagus.
Josephine saw Allen's silence and thought he was unhappy. She quickly added, "Don't be unhappy, Allen. After Owen took the position of department head of the Ministry of Magic, he ordered me to collect more dangerous magical creatures for the matching. Owen is only doing this for …"
Allen waved his hand and explained, "Aunt Josephine, thank you. I took it for granted."
Next, as soon as they entered the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, Allen's eyes stopped on the half-inch-thick black substance that was spread on the ground like a cloak. It was forced to hide in a corner by the silver hound guardian, unable to move.
In the room, two wizards dressed as members of the Department of Magical Creatures Control stood behind the door. Another tall man with yellow skin and a long face was sitting on a chair. He was holding a wand and the tip of the wand was pointing at the Crouching Manticore. When he heard the door open, he turned around and quickly stood up when he saw Allen and the rest.
"Allen, Luna. This is the Lucky Kalisses. Allen, do you remember him? You've met him many years ago," Josephine introduced.
"Of course, we met during the Sea Serpent incident during the summer break after the first year. Nice to meet you, Kalisses. Not many people can survive the attack of the Crouching Manticore." Allen took the initiative to shake Kalisses' hand. Kalissian's appearance was very unique. He had high cheekbones and a long red beard. His crooked nose was crooked because it had been hit by a deranged Dark Magus with a cursed attack. He had never been able to recover, so Allen had a deep impression of him.
"That's because the Crouching Manticore usually attacks people who are sleeping, so the victims rarely have the chance to use magic to deal with it. If my colleagues didn't live with me, I would've definitely been attacked by it. " Kalisses stroked his long beard. "Once the prey of the Crouching Manticore is successfully suffocated to death, the Crouching Manticore will eat its prey on the bed on the spot without leaving any trace of itself or its victim. Even if it digested me, it would only make it thicker. If it wasn't for the vigilance of my colleagues, you might've thought that I went missing."
Allen nodded in agreement. "In the dark, if this thing slips on the ground without making a sound, it's indeed hard to notice. This thing is very good at hiding itself."
Kalisses agreed, and with a look of lingering fear, he told his experience to Allen and the rest. "This Crouching Manticore is very bad. It judged that I was sleeping, so it chose to attack me. When I realized something was wrong, the shadow had already climbed onto my bed, and I felt a slight weight on my body. It was just like a fluttering black cloak covering my body. At that time, I didn't know what the hell this thing was. What scared me was that I felt something cold and sticky on my face. It slid onto my face, covering my mouth and nose, trying to suffocate me. I couldn't shout for help, so I could only struggle. I felt that my whole body was wrapped in its cold air. As the thing sealed my face tightly, I felt dizzy and couldn't even take a breath. I knew that I was going to lose consciousness completely because I felt suffocated. In desperation, I gathered the last of my strength and touched the wand with all my might. I concentrated on the Stun Spell, and then — — the spell didn't subdue the monster. It only blasted a hole in my bedroom door, but it didn't help either. But fortunately, this woke my colleagues up. They used the Guardian Spell to trap the Crouching Manticore, so I could breathe fresh air again. "
"Not only did you not die after encountering the Crouching Manticore, you even managed to capture it. You're really lucky," Allen said.
"Alright, Kalisses, you guys go and rest. We'll take care of this Crouching Manticore," Josephine ordered.
Kalisses looked at the Crouching Manticore, twirled his wand, and called for another staff member to leave the office.
Allen walked towards the Crouching Manticore and stretched out his hand. A silver light similar to the Guardian Spell enveloped his hand. These hands lifted one side of the Crouching Bat, and their movements were so fast that the Crouching Bat only had time to struggle twice. Before it could wrap around Allen's hand, Allen rolled it into a carpet-like thing with his bare hands and grabbed it. Because of the silver light, the Crouching Manticore couldn't move at all. It was firmly held in Allen's hands.
