Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Accompanying the sound, a young boy ran out from behind the house door, looking to be around 10 years old.

The boy was dressed in an exquisite fur coat, calling out the names of his two cat-ferrets as he excitedly rushed towards the playful creatures frolicking in the snow.

"You two little things, stop fooling around, or Grandpa will get angry again in a moment." Although the boy said this, he immediately bent down and made a snowball after plunging into the snow, throwing it at the two cat-ferrets not far away.

The two cat-ferrets were exceptionally agile, dodging the flying snowball with a quick shift, then completely ignoring the boy running towards them, scampering towards the courtyard in the center of the valley while playing.

Seeing that he was being looked down upon, the boy pouted, stomping through the thick snow in pursuit.

When he finally caught up to the cat-ferrets, he bent down to grab one of the disobedient creatures.

But the cat-ferret nimbly swayed its body, dodging the small hand with a 'whoosh,' and slipped through the boy's legs in a flash.

This put the boy in a difficult situation; his eyes and hands followed the cat-ferret, and as a result, his body also twisted backward along with the cat-ferret passing under his crotch.

He used too much force and lost his balance, falling forward with a thud.

"Hehe." The boy, who had been tricked, wasn't annoyed; instead, he was amused by his own clumsy appearance. He staggered to his feet, casually brushed off the snow, and resumed his cat-catching mission.

"Rolf, Rolf, where did you run off to?"

At this moment, a slightly aged voice came from the house door. Looking over, an old man with white hair and a vigorous spirit stood at the door, holding another cat-ferret in his arms, calling out loudly.

"Grandpa, Hobi and Millie are being naughty. Hobi stole Millie's dried fish, and then they chased each other into the yard," the boy, Rolf, said, shaking the snow from his hair with a helpless expression, calling out loudly to the old man.

"Is that so?" The old man chuckled upon hearing his grandson's words. "Then don't go chasing after them yourself. Look, you've dirtied your new clothes. Your grandma will definitely nag us both later. Tina's temper hasn't been good lately. Come back quickly, and watch Grandpa."

"Oh." Rolf immediately shrank his head nervously when his grandfather mentioned his grandmother, then slowly trudged towards the house through the snow.

The old man then drew the wand from his person, then gently shook it, the wand tip became a cat toy with feathers and bells.

The appearance of this cat toy immediately attracted the attention of the kitten in his arms, the cat-ferret immediately began to struggle to get to the toy.

"Don't be impatient, Moller, this is for Hobi and Millie." The old man chuckled, then quickly waved the cat toy in his hand.

Soon, the jingling bells attracted the attention of the cat-ferrets chasing in the distance. The two kittens quickly succumbed to the temptation and scurried towards the house.

"You're the best, Grandpa." Rolf, halfway back, watched the two little guys become so obedient, and looked at the old man with admiration.

"No matter what magical creatures they are, they all have their own characteristics and personalities. As long as you learn to understand them, you will discover that their wildness also has another kind of charm." The old man squinted his eyes, looking at his grandson with a smile.

The old man enjoyed the harmonious atmosphere before him, gazing with slight contentment at the snowy scenery in the valley, then he seemed to notice something, especially when he looked in Anduin's direction, his gaze gradually becoming somewhat serious.

Is that... did he discover me?

Anduin was currently completely invisible, and the cloak on his body could also isolate magic fluctuations. Even if the other party could see through the invisibility, the birch tree he was hiding behind was thick enough to completely obscure his figure.

But Anduin was also very clear that the other party's gaze just now indicated that he had noticed something unusual.

"Don't fool around outside; you'll catch a cold and get scolded later," the old man said to his grandson in an unruffled tone.

Then, he quickly waved his wand, lifting his grandson Rolf with a levitation charm, pulling him urgently towards himself.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

At this time, the old man and Rolf were only less than 30 meters apart. Just as the old man was pulling his grandson towards himself.

The ground between the two suddenly bulged high, and a wizard wearing a white faceless mask abruptly sprang from the ground, agilely pouncing towards Rolf flying to the old man.

He extended his right-hand wand, quickly firing a spell towards the old man, and swiftly embraced the floating Rolf with his left hand, then immediately retreated backward after taking Rolf hostage, widening the distance between himself and the old man.

"Ah!" Rolf was startled by the sudden appearance of the strange man and couldn't help shouting. Then, his eyes blurred, and he found himself being tightly pinned under the strange man's arm.

At the same time, the moment the masked man acted, another 3 faceless men with uniform appearances sprang out from the ground around the house, quickly approaching each other, and finally confronted the old man in a semi-circular formation.

The sudden change of events surprised both the old man and Anduin. Neither of them had expected that someone had been hiding under their feet all along.

After the surprise, Anduin immediately revealed a look of realization. He was wondering why he couldn't find these guys all this time. It turned out they were using this special magic to burrow into the ground.

These people's concealment methods were truly quite superb. He had been staking out here observing for so long, yet he hadn't detected any magic fluctuations, which was truly astonishing.

At this time, the old man standing in front of the door also had a shocked expression. He had indeed sensed something was wrong before, but he hadn't thought about the ground at all. Now that he saw his grandson being taken hostage, a trace of anxiety couldn't help but appear on his face.

Bang!

The old man reacted quickly, deflecting the spell that flew towards him, then squinted his eyes, sizing up the people in front of him. Especially when he saw the faceless masks on their faces and the uniformly styled snow-white wands in their hands, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Help, Grandpa, who are you people? What do you want..." Terror was revealed in Rolf's small eyes as he hastily called for help.

The masked man holding Rolf heard the boy's cry for help, and quickly flicked his wand at him. Rolf's small mouth was then sealed shut with glue and involuntarily closed, unable to make another sound.
