A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

“Young Master, isn’t this name a bit too low-class?” Genes said.

But the little guy didn't think so. On the contrary, it was extremely excited and flew around Aaron several times before returning to the dining table. It was obviously very satisfied with its name.

"Uncle Genes, what did you just say?" Aaron asked with amusement.

"No, I didn't say anything. You must have misheard me, young master."

The little guy was overjoyed to receive his name. He landed back on the table, proudly raised his chin, and strode confidently toward the nearest plate.

The Gaius family's chefs are also professional elites, and every dish they make is incredibly delicious.

Abe didn't want to miss any of the dishes, but unfortunately, its stomach was only so big. It sniffed some plates briefly, hesitated for a moment before walking away, and lingered on others for a short while, licking them with its tongue and taking a bite or two. Only a very few plates excited it, and it stretched out its little hand towards the investigators, signaling them with its eyes.

In half an hour, Genes' painstakingly prepared feast was not in vain; he finally figured out the little guy's diet.

The investigators exchanged glances and hesitantly handed over their reports.

After a careful look, Aaron smiled and said meaningfully, "Abe is much easier to raise than I thought!"

Genes nodded, it seemed that they wouldn't need to prepare special meals anymore.

All the food items on the report were checked at least once, which means Abe is not picky at all. Two checks indicate that he likes them, such as snacks like cookies, fruit, and chocolate. Three checks indicate that he likes them very much, such as chicken legs and milk.

Aaron stepped forward, picked up the now several-pounder Abe, and placed the report in front of it. "Take a look and see if there are any problems. If there aren't, then we'll rely on it to decide your recipes from now on."

After taking a look, Abe whimpered a few times, then nodded in satisfaction.

Aaron was relieved. Abe was not unintelligent either; since he did not object, it meant that the report still had merit.

“However…” Genes hesitated for a few seconds, then pondered, “Abe is a dragon after all, it shouldn’t eat people, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine. Aaron and Abe were staring at him, seemingly quite displeased that he had this question.

"Haha! I was just joking."

Abe looks like a good dragon, how could he eat people!

For the next few days, Aaron went to Diagon Alley to sign in every morning, and Abe was taken there by him.

Milk tea, milk, and other beverages are all welcome.

However, one rule must be followed: you are not allowed to leave the boss's room.

After all, he hadn't received the official "dragon-riding license" yet! He wouldn't dare to take it out on the street openly until he was 100% sure there was no risk.

The reason Abe was able to leave Gaius Castle was because it was wearing a blue coat to cover its wings and a white hat to cover its ears.

It's clearly a dragon with unlimited potential, but with this set of equipment, it's just an adorable kitten.

Inside the room, Aaron lay on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, his consciousness immersed in the system store.

"Sigh!" Aaron sighed softly. What he wanted was extremely expensive, but he couldn't afford it. And what he could afford was useless.

It seems the plan still can't be changed; accumulating magic points is the priority.

Just then, a bell rang from the wall.

Abe happily jumped to Aaron's side, knowing this was a signal to go home, and also a signal that it was time to eat.

As a newborn dragon, it takes its food very seriously.

"Let's not think about it anymore, let's go home," Aaron said, then picked up Abe and walked towards the fireplace.

"Young Master, please go first." Genes smiled and gestured for him to proceed.

"I know, it's not the first or second time, I don't need you to remind me." Aaron rolled his eyes and then used Floo Powder.

As a green flame rose, Genes subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he did not return to the castle, but instead used Apparition to leave the spot.

Chapter 7: The Adorable Pet Will Eventually Meet Its Parents

Aaron and Abe emerged from the fireplace, their clothes cleaned by Yoby's magic.

But this time, Genes wasn't following them, which puzzled them.

"Yorby, is something wrong at home today? Why is the housekeeper nowhere to be seen?" Aaron asked. In his memory, Genes had always been a persistent nuisance, the kind that you couldn't shake off.

But this time, contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't follow behind him. What could be more important than protecting this young master?

“Yorby doesn’t know, but Lord Genes seems to be very happy.”

Oh, by the way, Lord Genes seemed to have mentioned going to the airport.

"The airport?" Aaron murmured, then his face lit up with realization. He excitedly picked up Abe and said, "The Gaius couple are coming back. Soon we can go out and play openly."

However, we must try to keep your identity a secret. After all, we're both too weak right now, and you're so rare. If another desperate dark wizard tries to capture you, we won't even be able to protect ourselves.

Upon hearing the first sentence, Abe jumped up with joy, his wings almost bursting out of his clothes.

But after hearing the next sentence, it reluctantly retracted its wings. Although it still had a smile on its face, it was no longer as excited as it had been at the beginning.

Tonight's dinner was exceptionally lavish, and Abe's mouth watered at the sight of it.

It contains its favorite chicken leg and a fruit platter.

Since it was born, it has eaten with Aaron. Although the food is not bad, it is not always satisfactory.

Gene specially arranged a special diet for it and strictly enforced it. It couldn't eat whatever it wanted when it was craving something, all under the guise of "for the good of the dragon."

This is simply bullying a dragon. After experiencing a "Manchu Han Imperial Feast" for its first meal, who would care about those few dishes?

After watching for a while, Abe became restless and cautiously stretched out her little paws.

But halfway through, Aaron unceremoniously dragged him back, saying, "Everyone's not here yet! You better behave yourself."

"Waaah!" Abe immediately showed a wronged expression.

But this tried-and-true trick of acting cute didn't work today. Aaron looked at it earnestly and said, "This is for your own good. My parents are very law-abiding."

You can be casual on ordinary days, but today you're welcoming them home, so you should still show them the proper manners.

You don't want to give them the impression that you're mischievous or naughty from the first impression, do you?

Abe was clearly stunned for a moment, then silently sat down on the pet seat next to Aaron, resuming his original state, staring at the food and drooling.

Aaron watched this scene and quietly placed a small cup under its chin.

The saliva of the Holy Dragon! Who knows, it might contain some rare material!

After all, this is a magical world, where magical creatures are treasures from head to toe. Their blood, scales, bones, venom, and even hair are all useful and valuable.

A few minutes later, three figures suddenly appeared in front of the dining table.

This is Apparition, a spell that allows for instantaneous teleportation, but he doesn't know it yet.

One of them was Genes, who stood respectfully behind the two without overstepping his bounds.

The other two are Aaron's parents, Vico Gaius and Lisanna Gaius.

“I knew our precious son would be waiting here,” Lisanna said happily, quickly walking up to Aaron and giving him a loving hug.

Vico was the same, but his performance wasn't as exaggerated as Lisanna's.

"If I stop going to school, will you stop coming back?" Aaron asked with a hint of complaint. "Sometimes I really wonder if I was adopted."

"How can you say that? We've always placed you in the most important position."

"No matter how busy we are, our love for you has never diminished," Vico said matter-of-factly. He knew his son harbored some resentment towards them, but he wasn't worried, because it was just family banter.

Aaron showed maturity beyond his years from a young age, and with Genes's care, the two of them were able to carry out the plan they had set in their youth: a round-the-world trip.

Of course, this wasn't exactly a simple trip; they would occasionally deal with matters related to the magical world, though Aaron was unaware of this.

"really?"

“Of course it’s true,” Lisanna said immediately. “We also brought you some gifts on our trip back.”

Then, in front of Aaron, she took out an hourglass. The hourglass consisted of two white bases and three white pillars, with a gourd-shaped transparent glass dome in the middle. Inside were yellow sand grains, and it looked particularly...ordinary.

Aaron took it and examined it carefully for a few seconds but found nothing unusual about it. He then turned his attention to Vico, hoping he could provide an explanation.

"Um...can I not tell you?" Vico hesitated.

Aaron smiled. "Dad, I really like this gift, since I don't have one in my room."

But this is a gift from you all, filled with your deep affection. I need to know which roadside stall I bought it from!

"You noticed?" Vico said awkwardly.

"Isn't that obvious? I'm not blind." Aaron rolled his eyes. This kind of thing can be bought in any market, and the price will definitely not exceed one Gallon.

"Although it's an ordinary hourglass, the sand is different."

"This is a souvenir I specially prepared when your mother and I went to Egypt—no, it's some sand from under the pyramids."

Aaron: ......

It's a bit hard to accept that they're suddenly talking about it so seriously, but no matter what, its essence is no different from the wholesale goods outside.

"Alright, let's eat! The little guy is a bit hungry too."

"brat?"

The Gaius couple paused for a moment, then looked around, but did not see their son's pet.

Where is it?

"Giens's previous letters gave Abe a very high evaluation. Where did you hide it?" Lisanna asked, somewhat eager to see her son's pet dragon.

“Madam, over there.” Genes pointed to a white pet next to Aaron and said somewhat apologetically.

Lisanna looked in the direction the finger was pointing, feeling both amazed and somewhat embarrassed.

She wasn't unaware of it, but the excessively cute pet seemed to be asleep, completely still.

There was glistening drool hanging from the corner of her mouth, dripping down one after another, making her mistake it for a new timer her son had made.

"Can you wake it up?" Vico said softly, still quite interested in this new species of dragon.

"Of course, no problem." Aaron gently flicked Abe's head, and it groggily opened its eyes.
