Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

Oops!!!

"You guys stay home and play with them. Be good. I'll be back in a few days. Remember! You have to drink a bottle every day. Don't forget!"

Alvin called all the little animals over and pointed to the box of light blue potions on the table and gave instructions.

The little animals all nodded obediently. Ivan patted the little kangaroo Gangzi on the head and set off for Diagon Alley.

It's so dangerous to go all the way here alone! How can you not call for bodyguards and thugs?

Land of the free, here I come!

……

Under the scorching sun, a tumbleweed rolled as the car continued to move, and a bus stopped at the gate of a small town in Arizona.

"Ugh~"

"Really? It's just a ride. Is that a big deal?"

"It's better to use Apparition."

"What a loser~"

More than ten people got off the bus, but some people got carsick and were even disliked by their companions.

The captain of the bodyguard is still Gabe, and they are the same group from last year's Quidditch World Cup.

Ivan took them on a plane, entered the country using Muggle travel methods, and finally took a bus to this cowboy-style town.

"Wizards actually get carsick! That's amazing!"

Ivan looked as if he had learned something new, and the carsick wizard blushed immediately.

Who would have thought that a wizard who could ride a broomstick, use Floo powder door keys, and even more so use Apparition would be defeated on an old bus!

Following the address, Alvin and his men met Uncle Neil at a private manor. It seemed that this was the partner's home.

It’s not as big as his house, but it’s the best one in this place.

"Uncle, I've brought people to support you!"

Before he rang the doorbell, Alvin saw Uncle Neil walking and chatting with a slightly fat uncle in the yard.

After hearing the noise, Neil looked towards the door and saw the well-behaved and harmless face of his eldest nephew at a glance.

"You came pretty quickly, I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow."

"It only took some time to process their passports, otherwise it could have been much faster! Oh, thank you uncle." Alvin took the iced cola that the uncle just handed over to him.

"You're welcome kid."

"By the way, let me introduce him to you. You can call him Uncle Jim. He is also the owner of the copper mine this time." Neil introduced Ivan.

After saying hello, they started chatting about thunderstorms.

There was no way out. The strange thunderstorm forced them to put their development plans on hold. The bad weather prevented them from even entering the mountains. The exploration team had just set out and had not yet collected any data when they were forced back by the bad weather.

As they were chatting, Alvin noticed that the sky in the distance had darkened and there were lightning and thunder in the clouds.

"Look kid, here we go again! That's where the copper mine is. It happens almost every day. Now our mining plan can't go ahead at all.

I can confirm that it is not a natural phenomenon! Although others do not believe me, it must be a monster! I hope the people you brought can find a solution. "

Jem took a long drag on his cigarette and pointed in the direction of the thunderstorm.

Gabe and the others all looked at the situation in the distance and analyzed the situation in their minds.

When they came, Alvin had already warned them that this time they would most likely face a thunderbird.

"Uncle, don't worry. I brought these professionals with me. Leave everything to us." Alvin pointed at Gabe and the others and made a promise to Jem.

At this point, Jem had no choice but to trust his partner's nephew. After all, the kid looked reliable.

Chapter 360 Thunderbird!

"Oh shit! This bird is so cunning. I let it run away again!"

"Don't worry, it's almost exhausted. We will be able to catch it soon."

"Yes, we can catch it when it no longer has the strength to release lightning."

"Really? Do we really have to capture it alive? Why not just kill it and sell its body?"

"What do you know? Didn't I tell you that the price of Thunderbird materials in the UK is very high? As long as we capture it alive, we can sell the materials many times and make more money! You idiot."

Under a big tree, four sloppy wizards sat together eating to replenish their energy. They were all dealers of magical animals. This time they were going to catch horned water snakes, but they accidentally encountered a thunderbird!

The leader of the four suddenly remembered the news that someone was willing to pay a high price to buy the Thunderbird, so they changed their target to the Thunderbird.

However, the Thunderbird was not to be trifled with! They would definitely not be able to defeat it head-on, so they relied on the attrition tactic to consume the Thunderbird's physical strength.

The iron armor spell could not withstand the lightning that struck them! Besides, the thunderbird's nest was here, so they were not afraid of it running away.

"It stopped, just at the top of the western mountain." said a poacher, pointing to the map at his feet.

This area was drawn on the map, with a beast claw pattern standing motionless on a mountain.

"Let's go. We can't let it rest. We have to keep harassing it!" The leading poacher gave an order, and the four of them packed up their things and teleported to the hill where the thunderbird was!

After they left, Ivan and his group also rushed here and found some remaining traces on the ground.

"Let's split up and look for him. It looks like there are poachers." Gabe made a careful inspection and, with the help of his years of experience as an Auror, he analyzed the identity of the former.

"How do you know?" Alvin asked curiously.

"Look at the green powder on the tree roots. It's a potion that anesthetizes magical animals. Someone must have tied a bag of that powder to his waist. It must have been squeezed out when he leaned against the tree trunk to rest, and it got on top. Anyone who has this can only be a poacher!"

Gabe answered Irvin based on the scene.

Ivan nodded to show that he understood, but he started muttering to himself.

"It can't be that it's because of the materials I bought! That's a formal channel, not a bounty, it shouldn't be possible! Forget it, anyway, the news of the purchase was stopped when I came here. Even if it's really because of me, then I'm covering myself up!"

Alvin and Gabe walked together. Gabe was worried about Alvin walking alone, so the others went their separate ways to look for information about the Thunderbird and the poachers.

Boom boom boom

Just when several people searched for a while but found nothing, the thunderstorm that had just cleared up in the sky came again!

"Gabe, tell them to come back and take people to check it out." Alvin said, looking at the sky.

"Okay." Gabe nodded, reached into his pocket, took out his cell phone, and called his companions.

After the reunion, Gab and his companions put on flying cloaks and flew into the sky.

The flying cloak shop has been created. Although it is not as popular as the flying broom, it is a perfect substitute for some wizards who don’t like flying brooms and prefer cloaks as a flying posture!

Alvin took out a beach umbrella from the ring and propped it up on the ground, then took out a blanket and spread it on the ground, took out a bag of potato chips, and waited leisurely for news from Gaibu and the others.

Are you kidding me? Who is he? He is a capitalist! He is the boss! I really thought he would do it himself!

∠(? 」∠)＿

It's so funny, did he think he wasted those gold galleons in vain?

Alvin was leisurely waiting for news from the bodyguards. It was raining heavily. Alvin used magic to keep the rain out. After about an hour, the rain stopped, the thunderstorm passed, and the bodyguards came back.

"What's wrong with you?"

Looking at the miserable appearance of several people, Alvin stood up.

Several of them had some charred skin on their bodies, and Gaibu's originally straight hair became a little curly, as if ~ they had been electrocuted!

"We saw the thunderbird, but it wasn't in good condition. It was frightened and very tired. We happened to bump into it and thought it was an enemy. Fortunately, we hid quickly!" Gab was still a little scared.

"But judging from its appearance, it won't be able to hold out for much longer. I'm afraid it won't be able to fly anymore, let alone release lightning, if it comes twice more. Those poachers should be draining its energy in preparation for capturing it alive."

Another bodyguard followed up and explained the situation.

"What now?" Ivan asked.

"It should have gotten rid of the poachers now and is looking for a safe place to rest. Unfortunately, we didn't see the poachers. They must have used the Disillusionment Charm."

After Gabe finished speaking, Ivan thought for a moment and decided not to go back tonight. He would just wait in the wild! His ring was full of daily necessities, so staying in the wild for a night was not a problem.

Moreover, the Thunderbird will not stop now, and those poachers will not show up, so we can only wait until the Thunderbird's physical strength is exhausted and those poachers show up before making plans.

That night... there were constant thunders in the night sky, making it impossible for people to sleep peacefully. Alvin asked them to take turns to rest and pay attention to the situation inside the thunderstorm so as not to let the poachers take advantage of them.

In this way, two days passed, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that a new situation finally emerged!

"I saw that Thunderbird, it must be out of strength!"

Inside the tent, hearing the words of the person on duty outside, Ivan and the others hurried out. Looking in the direction he pointed, they saw a bird-like creature falling crookedly from the clouds towards the ground.

Although it tried hard to fly, it could only keep its body steady and not fall heavily to the ground. It was completely unable to fly high again!

"Go! Don't let them get ahead!" Ivan gave an order, Gabe grabbed Ivan and immediately took him to the area where the Thunderbird crashed.

"Haha, boss, we're rich this time!"

"Yes, the money from this sale is enough for us to enjoy for a long time!"

"Don't be careless, stun it quickly and don't let it attack you by surprise!" The poacher leader did not relax, he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart!

Just as they were throwing powder at the thunderbird that had collapsed on the ground and waiting for it to be knocked unconscious, ten beams of white light surrounded them and caught them off guard!

They are just poachers, not the kind of super dangerous dark wizards. If they hide well, there is really no way to deal with them. But once they show up, for a retired elite Auror like Gabe, they are just four little chickens!

In just one encounter, the four poachers were disarmed, knocked unconscious, tied up and captured.

"Hey! Little Thunderbird, I'm here to save you!" Ivan ran towards the Thunderbird, who was about to close his eyes and faint, with excitement on his face, and put a collar around the Thunderbird's neck.

Just before the Thunderbird fell into coma, it saw the "friendly" smile on Ivan's face and a last thought popped into its mind!

Thunderbird: Mom, there's a pervert! (???)?

PS: I am looking for a name for Thunderbird. Please try to find one that fits the style of the painting, not one with oriental fantasy style! Thank you~(★≧▽^))★☆
