It feels a bit awkward no matter how I think about it.
"I just took some time to learn driving recently," Vivi casually shared with Harry as though sharing daily life.
"In the face of your thirst for knowledge, I feel somewhat inadequate," Harry said, looking out the window.
Vivi laughed, "It's just a wizard from a hundred years ago trying to catch up with what he's missed, nothing to do with the thirst for knowledge."
The two of them arrived at the Broken Cauldron Bar, parked the car, and then Apparition Displaced to the outskirts of Hogwarts.
In Professor Scamander's tent, not only was there his family, but also the presence of the Leme couple and Dumbledore.
Seeing Harry coming over, everyone went forward, Mr. Leme even took out his magic wand and conjured a string of ribbons for him.
"Happy birthday," everyone said, clapping together.
"Thank you, thank you all," Harry said, a bit overwhelmed, "Oh my, I never thought there'd be so many people at my birthday party..."
This was true; during the summer a hundred years ago, he spent it at the Malfoy family, and no one ever held a birthday party for him.
His so-called birthday was just Cassandra accompanying him to eat some cake and then practicing magic with each other.
"Now you see," said Pabi joyfully coming to Harry's side, but Vivi walked over emotionlessly from the side.
Seeing Vivi's expression, Pabi instinctively shrank back.
There's no help for it; Vivi's aura was too strong, making even the unicorn... a bit uncomfortable.
Harry reached out and tugged Pabi's ears, pulling her back.
"What are you doing?" Harry rubbed her ears, "Why are you shrinking back, did you see something scary?"
"Yes, Pabi?" Vivi also walked over to Harry's side, smiling and asked, "I thought you saw something scary."
"No," Pabi said firmly, "I didn't see anything, I just had weak legs!"
Everyone laughed together, even Newt laughed at his silly aunt.
Professor Dumbledore was very talkative, pulling Harry to chat about the Horcrux made by Tom; Vivi sat quietly listening, occasionally saying a little to help Dumbledore and Harry fill in the blanks.
Pabi often brought Harry fruit, and Vivi pretended not to see, letting Pabi feed Harry some imported fruit.
"Recently, there's been news from the United States," Dumbledore suddenly said, "about a young man with red eyes and black hair causing havoc, killing many ordinary people and some wizards. They're preparing to focus their forces on catching him first."
"Is there such an incident?" Harry asked curiously, "If there's no accident, it should be Voldemort, right?"
"Yes, he infiltrated some Muggle institution, and also visited that space shuttle called 'Columbia.'" Dumbledore frowned and said, "But he failed. There's close contact between the American Magic World and the Muggle World, places like where the space shuttle is stationed are tightly guarded by wizards."
"Space shuttle?" Harry asked uncertainly, "What's he doing there? Could it be he wants to launch his Horcrux into outer space via the space shuttle?"
That comment suddenly opened up Dumbledore's thought process.
"With what you said, I think it's not impossible," Dumbledore said seriously, nodding, "Although Voldemort is arrogant, he's extremely afraid of death. After learning about Muggle affairs in the United States, he's likely targeting some equipment used by Muggles... If his Horcrux enters space through the shuttle, we will have no way to destroy it."
"But if the space shuttle explodes, like the Challenger disaster from a few years ago," Vivi said, "the resulting fiery flames would be enough to destroy the Horcrux, wouldn't it?"
"You know about Challenger?" Dumbledore looked at Vivi.
"Of course I do," Vivi smiled reservedly.
"Horcruxes can only be destroyed by Fiery Fire, ordinary flames can't destroy them at all," Dumbledore sighed and said, "Besides Fiery Fire, there's the snake monster's poison fang… We still haven't found the reason why a snake monster's poison fang can destroy Horcruxes."
"Albus, I need to remind you, the creator of the Horcrux is the despicable Helbo from Ancient Greece," Mr. Leme said with hands crossed, "And the first snake monster was also bred by the despicable Helbo, it's hard to say if there's any connection."
"Besides these?" Theseus asked, "Any other news from the American Magic World?"
"The rest is unknown, but it's heard he's searching for some mythical artifacts," Dumbledore shook his head and said.
"Mythical artifacts?"
Those present were all taken aback.
Theseus asked in amazement, "In the United States, a place with only about two hundred years of history, what kind of mythical artifacts could there be?"
"That's not known by outsiders, if you want to know, you could ask Voldemort himself, I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you," Tina said to Theseus.
"So what do you plan to do, Dumbledore?" Newt suddenly asked, "Are you thinking of going to the United States to see what Voldemort's remnant soul is up to?"
Dumbledore suddenly laughed.
"You know, Newt, they won't allow a foreign wizard like me to enter, especially to solve major issues within their country."
