Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

Unlike the excited Hagrid, Lupin was filled with indescribable terror.

Because he saw the huge bull in Hagrid's yard, and the two Mandela men brushing its fur.

"Is this some new species? What kind of insane creatures has Hagrid used to hybridize these species again?" Lupin whispered in Kane's ear.

"Uh... I made this up," Kane said quietly.

Lupin remained silent for a while, but ultimately felt that Kane was trying so hard to help him, and it was inappropriate for him to say that Kane was insanely conducting biological experiments.

Finally, he changed the subject, saying, "Perhaps you'll like the Magical Creatures Protection class next year. Speaking of which, I didn't sleep last night, so I went to the Headmaster's office and chatted with Dumbledore for a while. Want to hear some inside information?"

"Tell me about it?" Kane raised an eyebrow.

"Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic today to clear Hagrid's name. You know, about seventy or sixty years ago, Hagrid was framed because his pet killed Myrtle?"

Lupin had barely begun when Kane realized what he meant: "But we all know this year that the real culprit is the Basilisk, and it seems Hagrid doesn't know that yet."

Lupin nodded: "Yes, so we're going to give Hagrid a surprise!"

Chapter 159 Oh, Merlin! I've become a professor?

Since it was described as a surprise, Kane certainly wouldn't say anything more and walked into the Forbidden Forest on his own.

He was different from Lupin. Lupin hadn't seen Hagrid for a long time, and their reunion was that of old friends. But he saw Hagrid every day, sometimes two or even three times a day, so he certainly didn't have as much to say to him.

After entering the forbidden forest, he casually found a tree of moderate size, reached out and placed his hand on it, slowly letting his shadow envelop him.

As he sensed that the tree was becoming somewhat strange, Kane very naturally pulled an exquisite axe from his hat with a sly smile.

As for why we're targeting the traditionalists this time, instead of simply turning them into living wood from the shadows...

Humans, too, need a little bit of ritual every now and then.

Kane slowly exhaled. Thanks to the walking staff that increased his speed by 25% lying in the Shadow Codex, his tree-chopping speed was now ridiculously fast.

From the moment the axe struck the tree spirit for the first time, to the tree spirit howling and lying on the ground as a grotesque, lifeless log, it took less than three seconds.

After collecting the living wood, Kane wasn't in a hurry to leave the Forbidden Forest. After all, Hagrid and Lupin hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they probably had a lot to talk about. He certainly couldn't disturb them.

He simply sat down on the ground, took out two purple gems from his hat, pressed them together with the living wood, added a little bit of shadow erosion, and a rough teleportation wand with a strange beauty appeared in his hand.

Thanks to the fact that the Shadow Codex has been completely integrated into him, he can now integrate the teleportation wand into it without having to take the book out.

Unfortunately, using a teleportation wand alone is hardly convenient for personal use or combat; even running away can easily result in accidentally burning calories, because the teleportation wand lacks a teleportation focus...

It teleports you randomly. Unlike the special rules of the Eternal Realm that make the teleportation wand slightly more human-like, in the real world, being teleported to a busy highway late at night is considered good.

It's entirely possible that they could teleport you to the sky, the seabed, or even cause you to clip through objects.

However, having a teleportation focus changes things. It allows for controlled, specific teleportation, and long-distance teleportation, like a door key, is also possible. But that requires setting up the teleportation focus in advance, which is still somewhat troublesome overall.

But it smells much better when used at close range.

You can control the teleportation focus to appear within a considerable distance of your sight, achieving short-distance instantaneous teleportation.

If I ever encounter an old codger like Voldemort again, I'll definitely sew his eyes out.

In the very end, Kane used his last Galon to melt it down into his final gold nugget, which he then used to create a triangular teleportation point with the Living Wood.

Although theoretically this thing will consume three purple gems every time it is used for teleportation, those are outsiders to the Eternal Realm. They would have to beg for money on their knees in the Eternal Realm, so using the teleportation focus would definitely be expensive.

But I'm different. At least I've sat on a Shadow toilet before, so I must have some small perks that ordinary people don't get.

For example, if you place three purple gems on the teleport focus, you can use it an unlimited number of times.

How wonderful it is!

Kane quickly created the teleportation focus and then integrated it into himself.

This time, he didn't experience the same feeling of lightness that walking sticks had given him before.

If he hadn't consciously merged the teleportation wand and focus, but instead accidentally merged them together one night, he probably wouldn't have even realized he had gained these two new skills.

However, not feeling it is one thing, using it is another.

Kane looked towards a patch of shade under a tree not far away, where a purple triangular magic circle suddenly flashed, and he appeared there in the next moment.

After letting out a satisfied sound, Kane used the ability to teleport several times to the location he was in. And you know what? It really felt pretty good.

And so, Kane teleported all the way out of the Forbidden Forest, only stopping when he was almost out of the forest.

Firstly, I'm starting to get a headache from teleporting, probably because my sanity level is getting too high.

Secondly, he didn't particularly want others to see that he could teleport.

It's not that I intentionally wanted to leave myself a backup plan; I was just too lazy to explain.

Kane climbed over the wall into Hagrid's yard and glanced at Hagrid, looking somewhat bewildered at the man who was inexplicably in tears.

Kane was completely stunned.

"What's going on? Lupin, did you bully Hagrid?"

Hagrid waved his hand quickly upon hearing Kane speak: "No, I'm happy, after all these years..."

Upon hearing this, Kane knew what was going on. He then looked at Lupin, remembering that Lupin had previously said he would treat this as a surprise.

What? Hagrid grew up drinking truth serum, and so did you?

Kane certainly wasn't so rude as to say those words aloud, but Lupin was quite a clever fellow; he actually managed to decipher the meaning behind Kane's strange expression.

He spread his hands and shrugged: "It's a letter from Dumbledore."

Kane raised an eyebrow: "So Dumbledore really does care about that sense of ceremony. For something as important as clearing Hagrid's name, he didn't say it in person, but instead wrote a letter..."

Well, it must be a tradition within the magical world, after all, Hogwarts' acceptance letter is also... wait... didn't I promise Dumbledore I'd frame the acceptance letter?

Did you frame it yourself? I don't think so.

Where's that letter? Under the bed...

hiss...

Kane gave himself a small task for later: to hurry back and find a frame to put the acceptance letter in, since he had already promised Dumbledore.

After taking over this task, Kane casually picked up Hagrid's unfinished letter. Because the letter was folded, Hagrid only read up to the part where his innocence was cleared before bursting into tears like a ton-heavy child, without opening the letter to read further.

Kane, of course, could take a good look at the letter and act as a letter reader for Hagrid.

But when he actually opened the letter, his expression turned strange again. Hagrid and Lupin were both curious about Kane's ambiguous smile.

Kane, true to the wizarding world's tradition of valuing achievement, folded the letter back up and put it back in the envelope: "Honestly, Hagrid, I think you should read this letter yourself."

Hagrid took the letter in his hand with a puzzled look and glanced down at it.

"Oh, Merlin! I've become a professor?"

Chapter 160 Malfoy! No swings allowed in Diagon Alley!

"Huh?" Lupin looked at him in confusion, then exclaimed in surprise, "Hagrid! You've become a professor!"

Hagrid nodded blankly. "It seems so... Oh my god? This isn't right. I need to ask Dumbledore about this... Not only that, I also need to order a professor's robe from Diagon Alley... and I need to get my beard trimmed..."

Hagrid murmured to himself as he walked toward the principal's office.

Kane and Lupin exchanged a glance...

“I’m thinking of buying Hagrid some gifts, do you want to come?” Kane suggested.

“Uh…I’m paying!” Lupin said very seriously.

Then all I heard was Kane's impolite but meaningless remark...

"Oh..."

Lupin rubbed his chin with his fingers, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He felt like he was being looked down upon, and it seemed like he actually had evidence.

Kane quickly pulled the mantis shrimp out of his hat, and after getting on it, he gently patted the back of the mantis shrimp: "Get on, but you have to hold on to me, or you might get thrown off."

Lu Ping, sitting in the back seat, suddenly felt a little embarrassed and blushed: "Well, don't you think it's a bit unseemly for a grown man like me to sit in the back seat?"

Kane raised an eyebrow: "You mean...?"

Soon, a uniquely shaped and cool broom slowly descended into the center of Diagon Alley, attracting the attention of everyone in the entire Diagon Alley with just a brief appearance.

It's not that this broom is incredibly cool; after all, what kind of brooms haven't we seen in the wizarding world? No matter how cool it is, it wouldn't attract the attention of the entire Diagon Alley.

The main thing is that the person sitting on it is very strange. A disheveled, down-on-his-luck adult wizard sits in front of the broom, his head down and trembling, while also shrinking his body.

This way, the boy behind him, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, could laboriously reach his arm over him to control the broom...

"Wow, isn't that Kane? And the guy in front of you is... your nephew? He's grown so much!"

Malfoy, sitting by the ice cream shop eating ice cream with his legs crossed, made a rather impolite joke to Kane.

Kane didn't argue with him, after all, he was Malfoy, and it was already quite remarkable that he could say such unpleasant things, since it was human language.

However, you still have to respond to the trash talk that's appropriate, otherwise you'll be at a disadvantage.

"Oh right, your dad looks so much like you, which shows that your mother is still very loyal to you."

Kane made up a random joke and led Lupin toward Lady Malkin's Robes Shop, which was not far away.

Mr. Malfoy glanced at the ceiling above his head...

This is a good thing!

The Malfoy family has a strong bloodline, and his mother loves him very much!

Meanwhile, Kane had already led Lupin into the robe shop. Seeing Mrs. Malkin dozing off on the small sofa behind the counter, Kane shook the door behind him, and after a series of ringing doorbell sounds, Mrs. Malkin finally woke up.

“Welcome, gentlemen. What would you like to order? Hmm, Remus? Oh, I’m sorry, I really don’t need any more staff. I can manage on my own.” Mrs. Malkin was initially dazed, but after she came to her senses and saw Lupin, she quickly changed her tune.

Lupin was a little embarrassed: "I'm not here to look for a job this time."

Mrs. Malkin raised an eyebrow: "That's good. Would you two like something?"

Kane raised his hand: "You know Hagrid, right? His size?"

Madam Malkin nodded: "I certainly have those famous half-giants here, so you want to order robes for Hagrid?"

“Make it more formal, use the best materials. He’s betting this on you, I’ll go to Gringotts to get the money.” Kane said and left Madam Malkin’s Robes Shop.

Mrs. Malkin glanced at Lupin and said, "Isn't this your new job-hunting trick?"
