Gu! Gu!
Sunny stood on the bookshelf and called to the owl Nubi not far away. The owl Nubi tilted his head and looked at Sunny.
Then, he continued to eat the food provided by Lockhart with his head down.
After Sunny saw this, he flapped his wings, and with a flash of blue light, he teleported to the owl Nubi.
Gu! Gu!
Sunny called to the owl Nubi who was eating. After the owl Nubi heard it, he tilted his head and looked at Sunny next to him, his eyes flashing with confusion.
However, Sunny ignored the reaction of the owl Nubi. He chirped to remind the other party, then lowered his head to taste the food on the owl's plate.
Well, it's not delicious.
Sunny just took a bite of the owl food and felt a little disappointed. He had seen the owl like it and thought it was delicious.
The result was an average taste with a bit of astringency, not as soft and sweet as cake.
Gu! Gu!
Sunny waved his wings and teleported twice in a row, appearing in front of the table again with a small cake on it, and then chirped to the owl.
It seemed to say again, "Look, this is delicious food. Try this."
Gu! Gu!
The owl Nubi understood what Sunny meant, looked at the cake in front of him curiously, hooted a thanks, and then took a bite.
Well, this tastes really good.
After the owl Nubi took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and started eating eagerly.
Gu! Gu!
When Sunny saw this, he shouted proudly, as if to say, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, there are plenty of good things here."
Lockhart glanced at the interaction between Sunny and the owl with a faint smile on his face.
Then, he continued to lower his head and read the letter sent by the owl carefully.
These days, a large number of owls came to deliver letters almost every day, but most of them were related to meditation.
Aside from the letter from the wizard who wanted to discuss the principles of meditation with him, another part was thank-you letters sent by the parents and families of some of the 100 squibs that he recruited.
When he selected these research assistants, he considered not only their spiritual talent but also their family backgrounds.
This group of research assistants is different from Ian, Vera, and the others.
This is the first batch of squibs to practice meditation publicly, and they will definitely attract a lot of attention from the wizarding world in the future.
Especially pure-blood families will definitely target these people.
After all, if something goes wrong with this batch of squibs, as long as no one is caught and some guidance is given later, all the responsibility will be on Lockhart.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary squibs to withstand the attacks of pure-blood families. Only those with a certain family background will make pure-blood families feel afraid and hesitant to act.
Of course, on the other hand, Lockhart also wants to use this group of research assistants to build a defensive wall for the promotion of his future magic system.
He has chosen many alchemist masters, potion masters, and squibs from pure-blood families, and their influence is not weak.
Later, he can completely rely on the relationships between students to make good connections and win them into his own camp.
The reform of the magic system will definitely be bloody.
What he has to do is to learn from the great strategies of his previous life so that he will have more friends and fewer enemies.
However, the letter sent by this owl today is not simple.
It is from a person who calls himself a prophet. The content of the letter also discusses the principles of meditation.
What surprised him was that the other party made a lot of conjectures about meditation in the letter.
The various magical concepts mentioned in each conjecture go straight to the core of magic and can even provide certain assistance to Lockhart's research on meditation methods.
Lockhart had to lament that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the wizarding world. This prophet might be an old monster who had lived for many years.
At this level, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a top magic master.
It seems that Principal Dumbledore is right. The current wizarding world should not be underestimated. Many powerful wizards are hidden behind the scenes.
What pleased him even more was that the prophet repeatedly praised and even agreed with his idea of making wizards great again.
Lockhart then started to think about wooing him.
It's rare to find like-minded people, especially a wizard with such a profound magical background.
Thoughts turning, Lockhart began to reply.
He tried to invite the other person to see if they could exchange the principles of meditation face to face, and at the same time, test the other person's true identity and whether they really agreed with his ideas.
Soon, Lockhart finished writing the reply and handed it to the owl who was waiting nearby.
Then, he watched the owl flap its wings, carrying the letter, and reply to the prophet.
Lockhart looked at Sunny beside him, waved his wand, and cast a transformation spell. A small treadmill appeared in front of Sunny again.
One downside of returning to the world of Harry Potter is that there is no Peter here.
Without Peter's supervision, Sunny had already shown signs of laziness.
It seemed that he needed to find a wizard to supervise Sunny's exercise.
Who to look for?
Harry, Hermione, or Hagrid? Lockhart shook his head, thinking about these people who kept coddling Sunny.
Their doting on Sunny made Lockhart really uneasy.
He needed to find a stern wizard, preferably as serious as Professor McGonagall, so that Sunny could keep exercising.
Sunny, who had just walked on the treadmill dejectedly, suddenly felt a chill on his back for some reason, as if something bad had happened.
Then he started running.
In front of the keeper, he had to run. After the keeper left, that was another story.
Lockhart looked at Sunny who was running, nodded slightly, and then continued to prepare the lesson plan. He also wanted to give his research assistants their first lesson and help them meditate for the first time.
At the same time, the owl, who was holding the letter, kept waving its wings and flew into the distance.
Suddenly,
A red light flashed, and the owl began to change in shape, gradually turning into an eagle with strange red lines on its wings.
Phew!
The eagle roared loudly, holding the envelope with its claws. It waved its wings, and the red light flashed again, distorting the space as it spanned an unknown number of miles.
Then it waved its wings again and teleported through space.
After going back and forth many times, it arrived at its destination—Nurmengard.
At the same time, Grindelwald, who was sitting in the study reading, seemed to feel something.
The next moment, a red light flashed, and the eagle appeared next to the desk, holding the envelope in its paws, and handed it to Grindelwald respectfully.
With Grindelwald's gentle wave, the owl—no, the eagle Nubi—waved its wings and stood on the shelf nearby, silently watching the surroundings with its sharp eyes, as if wary of enemies that might appear at any time.
Grindelwald, on the other hand, opened the envelope and read Lockhart's letter, especially the content of his wish to meet. The corners of his mouth curled up.
Then, he began to reply.
He was quite curious about this Lockhart.
The established future is already in chaos, so the hopeless future will also change.
The source that is suspected of causing all this must be in hand so that he can feel at ease.
