A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

Flo paused for a moment, looked down at Aaron who was looking at him earnestly, and tried to pull his thigh out, but the result was not satisfactory.

This action confirmed Aaron's suspicions. "You really are experienced?"

"No, absolutely not."

Flo gritted his teeth, preparing to kick Aaron away with his other leg.

The previous person who successfully skipped class also used the tactic of clinging to someone's coattails. Learning from the failures of the previous seven, he did the opposite and hid in a huge, secret room.

This was his biggest mistake after his death. After all, it was because of his help that the successor of that generation succeeded. It's not nice to say that a teacher helps a student skip class!

Before Flo could even kick, a white figure pounced and grabbed his other leg.

After Abe succeeded, he instantly grew several times larger and remained firmly in place, displaying remarkable stubbornness.

Flo laughed in exasperation, "Don't go too far. I've already done more than enough by pointing you in a way out."

As the saying goes, if you're going to help someone, help them all the way through.

"Ancestor, are you sure you're not just making fun of me by pointing out a path that's almost impossible to succeed?"

“There are always more solutions than problems. Believe in yourself, you can do it,” Flo earnestly advised. “And the first step to believing in yourself is to let go of me.”

Aaron pursed his lips, shifted to a more comfortable position, but hugged her even tighter.

Believe in yourself? That sounds nice, but if he really had that ability, he wouldn't be here sucking up to others.

"Alright, fine, I give up!" Flo said speechlessly. "I can give you a little advice, but whether it works or not is up to you."

Aaron's lips curled up slightly, and he gave Abe a wink. The two of them released their claws at the same time.

He wasn't worried at all about whether Flo would go back on his word.

The ancestors were all highly respected and virtuous; they wouldn't lie to a twelve-year-old child.

Even if they were fooled, they could try to curry favor with the powerful again. The black stone pillar was right there, and the initiative was in their hands.

“Ancestor, please speak.”

Aaron adopted the attitude of someone who was paying close attention in class, and his expression was quite serious. If it were the first time you met him, you might have been fooled by his appearance.

"Humph!

First of all, the rule that the most dangerous place is the safest place is invalid, because the safest place is also the most dangerous place.

Secondly, you need to decide where you want to go. If you don't even have a destination and are just wandering around like a headless fly, the chances of being caught are almost 100%.

Secondly, you'd better not go to places that Gene knows. If he finds out you've run away, those are the places he'll look for first.

Then, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, having only one destination is obviously not enough; you must be prepared at any time for someone to come knocking on your door midway.

Finally, and most importantly, make sure to avoid your two bodyguards.

With them around, even the most meticulously planned schemes will fail before they even begin.

Aaron nodded in deep agreement, feeling that he had made the right choice in clinging to someone powerful.

Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!

Without this guidance, he would probably be the eighth failure, but now he's 50% confident he can skip class successfully.

However, we need to do some planning before taking any action.

Thinking of this, Aaron looked at Flo again, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. Even if you do, I won't help you," Flo said calmly.

“Ancestor.” Aaron revealed a harmless smile, but just as he was about to go over and hug his leg again, he was blasted back several steps by a powerful magical force.

"Come on, you're just playing games I've already played."

"Hehe!" Aaron chuckled awkwardly. "I only have one last question left. Answer it and I'll leave. Whether I succeed in skipping class or not, I won't betray you."

Flo gave him a deep look and said with a playful tone, "You've already learned to threaten people at such a young age?"

Unfortunately, this trick didn't work on me, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much.

Also, here's a warning: it's best not to threaten people casually in the future. Some people are arrogant and can't stand being threatened; if you tell them not to do something, they'll do it anyway.

Aaron paused for a moment, then bowed respectfully, "I am grateful for your guidance."

"Alright, ask if you have any questions."

Whether I answer or not depends on my mood.

"Ancestor, is there any way for me to avoid those who are secretly protecting me?"

“I knew you’d ask that,” Flo said, leaning casually against the pillar, as if he had expected it. “They’re all professionally trained; with your current strength, you can’t possibly dodge them, unless…”

"Unless what?"

"You only have one advantage right now: they don't know you're going to run away."

The rest is up to you to figure out. That's all I can tell you.

After saying that, Flo waved his hand, and a hurricane swept towards Aaron and Abe. When they opened their eyes, they were already outside the secret room.

"Is this the power of a Saint Magister?" Aaron murmured, his heart filled with boundless longing.

The secret chamber contained only a fragment of Flo's memory, far less powerful than he was in life, yet it could overwhelm this novice mage with a mere gesture, leaving him utterly powerless to retaliate.

Aaron lowered his head, acknowledging the fact that he was still incredibly weak.

Abe climbed onto his shoulder, making muffled sounds, but Aaron could clearly hear that it was Abe encouraging him.

Dragon's language: Master, you will definitely be stronger than him in the future.

"Haha!" Aaron patted Abe's dragon head and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think."

But I need to remember this lesson. I've definitely gotten a bit cocky lately; I must maintain a sense of awe towards power!

Back in his bedroom, Aaron looked at the crescent moon outside and pondered his escape plan.

School starts on September 1st, and it's August 28th now. He needs to make a plan tonight and take action tomorrow.

Otherwise, if you run away and school starts soon after, then skipping class won't have been very meaningful.

After pondering for a moment, Aaron took out the half-bottle of invisibility potion he had left over.

Looking at the bottle, he felt extremely fortunate that he hadn't gulped it down in one go.

This thing can be used to avoid the sight of the two bodyguards, but the invisibility time is limited, so you need to hurry and get as far away as possible before they react.

Aaron nodded, then began to think about where he could go, or rather, where he could be taken in.

He took a piece of paper from the drawer and wrote down about twenty addresses, but soon ruled them all out.

He knew he couldn't go to his relatives' houses, the shops in Diagon Alley weren't safe, and the houses of his old friends were also off-limits. He figured someone would report him to Genes as soon as he got there.

After frowning for a while, Aaron wrote down two addresses on a piece of paper: Malfoy Manor and Weasley's Burrow.

Neither of these places is too far from his home, and with Abe's flying speed, he won't have to go long to get there.

Moreover, if he were discovered, he could simply move to another location. Even Genes would never have imagined that he would be running rampant in the homes of his two arch-enemies.

Chapter 118 Necessary Preparations Before Leaving

After finishing his simple plan to skip class, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.

However, things can change unexpectedly, so we need to prepare some necessities before leaving.

Thinking of this, Aaron looked at Abe and carefully examined its pockets. The silly and cute holy dragon instantly sensed a great crisis; it had a premonition that it was going to lose money.

"come over!"

Abe shook his head, clutching his pocket as he slowly backed away, displaying a strong sense of resistance.

"How did I end up raising such a possessive dragon like you!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your food. I just want to stuff a little more stuff into your pockets."

Abe subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Aaron, as the master, always held the highest position in his heart. If Aaron wanted his hard-earned savings, it would be really hard to refuse.

Aaron looked at the somewhat uneasy Abe, pushed aside its dragon claws that were clutching its belly, and left the coins like gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and bronze Nats inside. As for the various snacks, he poured them all out, leaving nothing behind, and piled them up on the bed.

“Tsk tsk tsk!

"You're really something! This stuff should be enough for an average person to eat for ten days!"

Abe lay on top of the pile of snacks, held up two fingers, and said in a low voice, "Only enough for me for two days."

"Foodie!"

Aaron picked it up and hesitated for a few seconds. "You can only keep half of these things."

Woo!

Dragon's voice: No, I can't bear to.

“We’re running away from home, so we need to bring as many useful things as possible,” Aaron explained earnestly.

While the Seamless Stretch Spell can indeed expand space, its capacity is limited. Therefore, he must clear out some unimportant items and put in more valuable ones.

Abe was still a little reluctant, but Aaron didn't care and carried it out of the bedroom.

Arriving at an ordinary warehouse, Aaron turned on the light and rummaged through the contents for a while before placing four packages of different sizes in front of Abe.

"Do you understand what you're supposed to do?" Aaron asked seriously.

Abe nodded somewhat reluctantly, picked up a package and tried to stuff it into his pocket, but comically, he couldn't manage to get it in no matter how hard he tried.

"Sigh! These packages are too big to just stuff in." Aaron was both amused and exasperated, but decided to do it himself.

He opened the first package, which contained an exquisite tent. He unpacked the accessories one by one and put them into Abe's pocket.

The second package contained a set of clothes. Changing clothes is essential when running away, as it will slightly reduce the chances of being discovered.

If he were to disappear, and Genes sent people to inquire, they would certainly describe what clothes he was wearing, what pets he had with him, and what the pets' characteristics were, and so on.

What he needs to do now is to visually deceive the enemy. If it weren't for the fact that the conditions and time don't allow it, he would even like to put on some makeup and wear some height-increasing insoles.

The third package was just an ordinary backpack, which he prepared for Abe, since it would be quite conspicuous to walk down the street with a cute pet.

Finally, Aaron took a deep breath and slowly unzipped the first package, and a golden light fell into their eyes.

Abe, who had initially dismissed the money, was drawn to it. Seeing the hundreds of Galleons and the thick stack of pounds, he immediately beamed with joy.

"This is my first real pot of gold!"
