Hogwarts: My Grandmother is the Queen

Chapter 124 Imperial Cultivation, Individual Performance (Fifth Update)

A flash of white light from the Portkey, and Henry was standing outside the gates of Hogwarts once more.

Hagrid returned as well, brushing the grass clippings off his clothes with a lecherous grin, muttering, "Nobita is so good, Nobita is so beautiful, Nobita remembers me! She remembers I nursed her!"

Henry smiled and didn't interrupt his mutterings.

He looked up and around. On the lawn in the distance, several younger students were chasing and playing. An owl flew overhead, carrying a letter in its talons. It seemed to be going to the Great Hall to randomly select a lucky little wizard to deliver it to.

Or precisely smash someone's pumpkin juice.

Another peaceful day.

Henry entered the castle, passed through the entrance hall, and descended the stone steps to the cellar.

In the Slytherin common room, Draco and the others were all there. When they saw him enter, all four of them looked up at the same time.

"Your Highness!" Draco was the first to stand up. "You're back? How's the reserve?"

Henry sat down in the armchair by the fireplace, took the hot tea Daphne offered, and took a sip.

"It's all good. Norbert has grown a lot, Charlie is taking good care of him, and Mr. Scamander is here too."

Pansy leaned closer, her eyes sparkling.

"Did you meet Newt Scamander? The one who wrote 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'?"

"Yes, I saw him." Henry placed his teacup on the coffee table beside him. "He chatted with my father for a long time, and they seemed to get along quite well. Mr. Newt gave him a signed copy of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'."

"Did your father go too?" Draco asked with interest.

"Yes, and my mother too," Henry said with a smile.

They exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of envy and surprise.

"Your Highness, your family is so kind," Theodore said with a hint of envy.

Henry glanced at her.

"How so?"

"It's just—it's just that I'm willing to come and see what you're doing," Theodore said slowly. "Not all parents are like that."

Henry knew what Theodore meant; not all parents are proud of their children.

Of course, Theodore also had considerable conflicts with his family. According to Draco, Theodore had a very bad relationship with his father.

"Yes," Henry nodded and said, "they are really good."

The next morning, when Henry walked into the auditorium, he sensed that something was wrong.

Everyone was watching him, and the radiance he exuded was different from the shock he felt during the unicorn incident, and also different from the adoration he felt when he caught the Golden Snitch in the Quidditch match.

Henry didn't seem to mind, walked over to the Slytherin table, and casually sat down in his seat.

Draco was already there, holding a copy of the Daily Prophet, his expression one of great excitement.

"Your Highness," he said, handing over the newspaper in a low voice, "please take a look at this."

Henry took the newspaper and looked down at it.

The front page headline featured a photograph.

The photo shows the familiar hillside, the core area of ​​the reserve, the open space specifically reserved for Noberta. Noberta is basking in the sun on a large rock, wings half-spread, tail swishing leisurely back and forth.

In the bottom right corner of the photo, there is a small figure.

That is himself.

He was wearing that dark gray robe, standing on the hillside, looking up at Norbert.

It looks really stylish.

The photographer was quite skilled, Henry thought to himself. The angle was good, the lighting was perfect, and the photo made him look quite presentable.

Below the photo was a huge headline:

The Royal Family spent millions of Galleons to create the wizarding world's first nature reserve. His Highness Prince Wells personally inspected the site and praised it as "a perfect collaboration between two worlds."

Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports: Under the wise leadership of Minister Fudge, the Ministry of Magic and the Royal Family worked together for two months and at a cost of twenty million Galleons to finally complete the first nature reserve in British magical history encompassing a wide variety of magical creatures! This is a model of cooperation between two worlds and a symbol of peaceful coexistence between the magical world and the Muggle world.

Henry's lips twitched.

Minister Fauci, a wise leader.

Why don't you mention imperial cultivation and individual performance?

He glanced at the date on the newspaper, then looked down at his watch.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Draco noticed Henry's movements. "Are you in a hurry?"

"Just make sure today isn't April Fool's Day." Henry smiled slightly.

He continued reading.

The reserve, located in the Scottish Highlands, is vast and diverse in terrain, featuring several functional areas including a dragon enclosure, a unicorn enclosure, and an aquatic animal enclosure. The reporter had the opportunity to interview Mr. Charlie Weasley, the project manager.

"We are extremely grateful for the Royal Family's generous support," said Mr. Charlie Weasley. "This funding has turned the sanctuary from a dream into reality. The main construction is now complete, and the first magical creatures will soon be moving in. In the future, the sanctuary will be open to the public, allowing more wizards to learn about and cherish these amazing creatures."

[Renowned magizoologist Newt Scamander also granted an interview to this newspaper.]

"This is the best conservation area I've ever seen," Mr. Scamander said. "Its design takes into full account the habits of different species, providing them with a living environment closest to nature. I believe this will become a milestone in the conservation of fantastic animals."

When asked why he chose to participate in this project, Mr. Scamander smiled and said, "Because someone is willing to spend 20 million gallons for these speechless creatures, and such a person is worth my effort."

Henry's gaze lingered on that sentence for a moment, and then he saw the most exciting part.

[Our reporter had the privilege of interviewing His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. As one of the earliest members of the Royal Family to focus on environmental issues, His Royal Highness highly praised the establishment of the protected area.]

"As someone who has long been concerned with environmental protection, I am very pleased to see that the wizarding world also has such protected areas," said His Highness Prince Wells. "This proves that the reverence and love for nature is universal among wizards and Muggles alike."

Henry couldn't help but laugh as he read this.

My father's words were truly impeccable.

It not only expressed support for the protected area, but also emphasized the commonalities between the two worlds, and incidentally promoted the concept of environmental protection.

As expected of the Prince of Wales, his speaking skills in front of the camera are truly exceptional.

The report concludes with its most important part.

His Highness Henry Welsh, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, has also actively participated in the establishment of the protected area. It is understood that His Highness Henry currently attends Slytherin House at Hogwarts, is the Seeker for the Quidditch team, and is the only known human to have been approached by a unicorn.

An unnamed Hogwarts professor said, "His Highness Henry has a heart of gold; he never makes the wrong choice regarding unicorns."

(This newspaper will continue to follow up on the reserve's progress, so please stay tuned.)
