Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 843

On the first day of the cruise, Hermione immediately arranged a trip to the spa for Mrs. Weasley and Ginny as soon as she put down her luggage.

As the three walked through the ornately decorated, softly lit corridor and pushed open the spa's doors, the tranquility and luxury that greeted them immediately amazed them.

The spa's layout perfectly blends elegance with modern technology.

Upon entering the hall, you will see a huge, fountain-like water feature in the center, with water droplets shimmering like glass under the lights. Elegant tropical plants and comfortable lounge chairs are placed around it.

The walls are adorned with gentle landscape paintings and decorative paintings interspersed with modern art elements, creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

The ceiling is made of wooden beams, from which delicate light fixtures hang, emitting a soft, orange-yellow glow. Warm wooden flooring covers the floor, and soft music plays throughout the space, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

"Wow, here... here, here!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, almost speechless. For Mrs. Weasley, who had lived with medieval aesthetics for many years, the decoration here was so beautiful that she was speechless.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Ginny chimed in, picking up where Mrs. Weasley left off.

"Welcome, ladies. What kind of service would you like to receive?" As soon as Hermione, Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley entered the hall, a sweet-looking staff member immediately stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

“Projects? What? What kinds of projects do you have here?” Mrs. Weasley asked.

"This way, madam. We offer classic Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy floating experience, detox mud bath, and foot massage." The waiter pointed to the list on the wall in the lobby and began to introduce each service one by one.

Mrs. Weasley and Ginny, the two wizards, were dazzled by what they heard—

Even Hermione, who grew up in Muggle society, was completely bewildered.

Ultimately, Mrs. Weasley opted for a hot stone massage, while Hermione and Ginny were recommended to try a full-body aromatherapy treatment.

As the hot stones gently touched every inch of Mrs. Weasley's back, she could almost feel the pressure slowly dissipating.

Ginny and Hermione were fascinated by the awakening of their dormant senses as the skilled masseuse relieved their fatigue with precise techniques.

Meanwhile, Mr. Weasley, the Weasley twins, Charlie, Ron, and Harry were captivated by some of the high-tech gadgets on the cruise ship. At the fitness center, they discovered a treadmill that could simulate the surface of the moon.

—It's actually a large fan-assisted levitation device. They walk into a large cylinder, and then a huge fan is turned on underneath to resist the Earth's gravity.

But even such a simple device had several people having a great time playing with it.

They are both people who can ride broomsticks and have even won several Quidditch championships.

In the evening, the whole family gathered at the luxurious buffet restaurant for dinner. The restaurant's design took into account the different tastes and needs of each guest, offering a variety of choices from Mediterranean to Asian cuisine. After dinner, they went to the ship's theater to watch a dance performance that blended modern and traditional Spanish elements. The colorful costumes, energetic dance steps, and exciting music immersed everyone in the wonderful performance.

The next day, as the first rays of sunlight touched the shimmering surface of the Mediterranean Sea, they began another day of enjoyment and relaxation. In the early morning, Mrs. Weasley took Mr. Weasley back to the spa, where they tried a couples' package, which included a massage for two and a range of beauty treatments.

The others enjoyed the other attractions on board.

While Harry and Hermione were having a fun trip with the Weasleys, on the other side of the world, in Bhutan, Tasupankhai...

This is a small mountain village located on the southern slope of the Himalayas.

The entire mountain village is surrounded by lush green pines, situated on a sunny slope, and encircled by rolling mountains.

The buildings in Tasupankay village are mostly constructed using local stone and timber, and the roofs are sloping to adapt to the rainy climate. The buildings are brightly colored, often in vibrant blue, red, and white, and the doors and windows are frequently decorated with exquisite wood carvings.

The villagers' faces showed the ruddy complexion characteristic of the high plateau, and most of them were short but sturdy, adapted to life in this high-altitude environment. Living in a poor high-altitude region, the villagers led a relatively simple life.

They are mainly engaged in farming and sheep herding, relying on the mountains to grow their staple foods—potatoes, barley, and corn.

The food in the village is simple and bland. Walking along the road, you can see women with rosy cheeks from the high altitude vigorously kneading a lump of dough. This is a traditional Bhutanese food, made from wheat flour, butter, cheese, and locally sourced safflower powder. After fermentation, the dough is patted onto a red-hot stone to form a flatbread called "Fali".

Each family adds different spices and ingredients, such as pepper and ginger, according to their own taste, making it a uniquely flavorful family food that is an indispensable part of their daily diet, especially in the cold winter, as it provides the necessary calories and nutrients.

The children of Tasupankay village often play on the grass near the village, dressed in simple but brightly colored clothes, their laughter echoing through the valley.

Tasupankhai Village is a tiny, remote village located on the border of Bhutan. But today, countless strangers dressed in black suits or formal attire suddenly entered the village.

They appeared suddenly and without warning on the grassland outside Tasupankai village. There was no one there a second ago, but suddenly someone appeared the next second.

These people included both men and women, but they were all dressed elegantly. As soon as they appeared on the grassland, they hardly lingered and immediately walked into the village of Tasupankai.

And the original inhabitants of Tasupankai village—

This situation is nothing new; it happens almost every few years.

These men and women in suits ignored the indigenous people of Tasupankai village and walked straight ahead to the end of the village. They then crossed a narrow suspension bridge, passed over a cliff at the village's edge, and arrived at a tall building built into the mountainside on the other side of the cliff.

Lan-Tas.

Legend has it that this is the birthplace of magic, and it is said that the world's first spell was uttered here.
