The wheelchair-bound warrior is speedrunning Hogwarts.

But she quickly suppressed this somewhat rash idea.

Venturing into Muggle neighborhoods, especially near the Dursleys' house, could easily attract unwanted attention.

Moreover, she had another more important matter to attend to, and at least for now... it wasn't the time to see Harley.

As Vera thought about it, a strong and anxious emotional fluctuation came from the mental connection between her and Lu Wei.

This fluctuation had been going on for several days, and she would try to soothe Lu Wei's bad mood almost every day.

Until today... Louie has finally arrived in Greece.

It was a little faster than expected, but that's good too, so she can pick up Louis sooner and take him home.

After finishing breakfast, Vera sat in her room, concentrating her mind and sensing the situation on Luwei's side through her connection with him.

Soon, blurry images and fragments of sensory memories flooded her mind—

The scorching sun, the dry air, the unfamiliar scent of vegetation, and... Hagrid's booming voice, trembling with sobs.

"Be good, Luwei... good boy, the Greek sun is so nice, and your people live in the forest. You'll love it here, waaaah..."

Louie's three heads emitted uneasy growls and whimpers, while his massive claws scratched the ground restlessly, kicking up clouds of dust.

It couldn't understand why it was brought to this completely unfamiliar place and left behind by familiar people.

Vera could clearly sense its inner confusion, fear, and anxiety.

She "saw" Hagrid give Fulvi's middle head a final, forceful hug, then, turning back every few steps, Apparition away with a strange wizard.

Only the three-headed dog remained, standing anxiously whimpering before the unfamiliar forest.

After confirming that Hagrid and the wizard had completely left and that there were no other powerful magical fluctuations around, Vera opened her eyes and gritted her teeth inwardly.

They just dumped Lou Williams in that unfamiliar place so easily.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "Kreacher."

With a snap, the house-elf appeared in response: "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

"The approval certificate for the international travel visa we applied for at the Ministry of Magic a few days ago should have arrived by now, right?" she asked.

In the wizarding world, wizards typically need to apply to the Ministry of Magic in advance if they want to travel internationally.

Of course, some highly skilled and daring wizards believe they will not be tracked down by the Ministry of Magic, and they can indeed leave whenever they want, using the Floo Network or Apparition.

However, as a minor wizard, Vera's wand still contained traces that could be monitored by the Ministry of Magic at any time, making it virtually impossible for her to perform cross-border Apparitions without alerting the Ministry.

Therefore, she had already gone to the Ministry of Magic a few days ago to apply for a short-term travel permit to Greece.

Since it was just a simple trip, and the Black family also owned one or two properties in Greece, the Ministry of Magic staff approved her travel application without asking too many questions.

“Yes, Miss,” Kreacher replied, her pointed ears twitching. “The approval document was delivered by an owl from the Ministry of Magic last night! I’ve already placed it on the desk in my study.”

“Very good.” Vera nodded and quickly moved her wheelchair toward the study. “Get ready, Kreacher. We’re leaving in ten minutes. Take the things I asked you to prepare.”

“Kreacher understands.” The sprite disappeared again with a snap.

Vera went to the study, quickly glanced at the permit document stamped with the Ministry of Magic's seal, and carefully put it away after confirming that it was correct.

Everything is ready.

She closed her eyes again, focused her mind, and through the mental link, sent a clear message of reassurance to Luwei, who was far away in Greece:

"Louwei, be quiet, good boy. Stay there and don't move. I'll be back for you soon, and we'll be home soon."

Lou Williams paused his frantic digging, tilting his three heads to the side and letting out a confused but somewhat calming low growl.

It understood the word "home".

“Yes, home,” Vera emphasized again.

As soon as she finished speaking, she could feel the waves of excitement and pure joy emanating from Lu Wei.

Vera smiled and continued to soothe it through the mental link.

Although Louie was raised by Hagrid, he had relinquished his custody rights, so there was nothing wrong with him taking over.

A few minutes later, Kreacher reappeared, carrying an unassuming cloth bag bulging with supplies that Vera had instructed him to prepare in advance.

"Miss, everything is ready." Its voice sounded a little excited. "Can Kreacher really come with you, Miss?"

Vera smiled and nodded firmly: "Of course, Kreacher, I need your help."

Kreacher's chest immediately puffed out, his face beaming with the pride of being entrusted with such an important task: "Kreacher will definitely help Miss!"

Therefore, there is a different way to leash a monkey.

The best way to treat Kreacher is to make it feel that it can be trusted by its owner.

“Very well, let’s go to the fireplace.” Vera tied the cloth bag to the side of the wheelchair. Inside, besides the necessary travel items, were the food that Lu Wei needed and a detailed map of Athens.

She pushed her wheelchair and, together with Kreacher, arrived at the Floo Web fireplace in the Black mansion, a fireplace that hadn't been used in a long time but was still kept spotless by Kreacher.

Vila grabbed a handful of Floo Powder and looked at Kreacher: "Ready?"

“Kreacher is ready, Miss!” The little elf gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly and nodded vigorously.

As Floo powder was sprinkled into the fireplace, with a "boom," emerald green flames instantly shot up and filled the entire fireplace.

Vera led Kreacher into the flames and clearly recited the exact location of Villa Black in Athens.

The next second, the surrounding scenery blurred into a distorted mix of colors and light.

International air travel is more bumpy than domestic travel, and even with the Kreacher-stabilized wheelchair, Vera still felt a slight dizziness.

Fortunately, the process was not long. A few dozen seconds later, they suddenly burst out of a marble fireplace decorated with ancient Greek patterns and came to a steady stop in a slightly empty hall, which still showed signs of its former luxury.

Suddenly, a warm, sun-kissed, and salty sea air rushed in, a stark contrast to the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere of London.

“We’ve arrived, miss.” Kreacher didn’t let go of her hand, but instead looked around warily.

The villa had been uninhabited for a long time, and for safety reasons, Kreacher thoroughly inspected it before reporting with relief, "The villa's protective magic is intact, Miss. There are no signs of trespassing."

“Very good.” Vera nodded, not bothering to examine the property closely, and immediately closed her eyes again, concentrating her mind to sense Lu Wei’s location.

Through the mental connection, she could sense that Lu Wei's emotions were slightly calmer than before, but he was still full of unease and anxiety.

And its current direction...

Vera opened her eyes, took out a map from her bag, and after checking it several times, marked a location on it: "We're not close to here, Kreacher, Apparate me there."

“Yes, Miss.” Kreacher gripped the wheelchair armrest again. “Please rest assured, Miss, Kreacher’s Apparition is very stable!”

Vera nodded: "Let's go."

Another suffocating feeling of pressure followed, and as the surrounding scenery shifted instantly, they found themselves on a dry hillside covered with olive trees and low shrubs.

The scorching sun poured down without any obstruction, and the temperature was noticeably lower than in the city of Athens. In the distance, there were rolling hills covered with green vegetation.

And in a clearing near the forest not far away, Lou Williams' huge figure was clearly visible.

Its three heads drooped, and it lay listlessly on the ground, its huge body appearing somewhat blurry in the heat.

But almost the instant Vera and Kreacher appeared, its three noses twitched simultaneously, and its six ears stood up abruptly!

"Awoo?!"

All three heads raised simultaneously, turning towards Vera.

Those three pairs of eyes, which had been filled with frustration and confusion, suddenly burst with unbelievable joy.

It suddenly stood up and charged towards Vera like a small mountain, the ground trembling slightly under its footsteps.

"Miss, be careful!" Kreacher cried out in fright, instinctively trying to shield Vera.

“It’s alright, Kreacher,” Vera said with a smile. “It recognizes me.”

Sure enough, Lou Williams abruptly stopped a few steps away from Vera, the force of which kicked up a cloud of dust.

Its three heads lowered eagerly, its huge, wet noses sniffing carefully at Vera's scent, making sounds that were a mixture of sobs and cheerful hums.

Its enormous tail thrashed wildly, slamming against the ground with a loud thud and kicking up even more dust.

Violet reached out and stroked the chins and noses of its three heads in turn, feeling the joy and dependence of having regained what she had lost.

"Alright, alright, Louis, my sweet boy, I'm here. I've come to take you home," she said softly.

The middle head of Lu Wei let out a long, aggrieved whimper, while the other two heads kept rubbing against her palm, as if to confirm that this was not a dream.

Kreacher stood to the side, watching the behemoth be so docile and affectionate in front of his young lady. His bulbous eyes were still full of vigilance, but even more so with an incredulous astonishment.

Not just fire dragons, but even a three-headed dog?!

What exactly did its young lady go through in the past year?

Vera calmed Louis down after a while, but his six eyes remained fixed on her, as if afraid she would disappear again.

She lowered her head, searched through the cloth bag next to her wheelchair for a while, and took out the food she had prepared beforehand.

As soon as the specially made jerky was revealed, the three heads in front of her excitedly snatched the food from her hand, munching away with gusto, while their tails wagged even more enthusiastically.

Watching it wolf down its food, Vera thought for a moment and then asked softly, "Luwei, there might be your kind in that forest. Do you... want to go there, or come back with me?"

Luwei's three heads stopped chewing at the same time, his six eyes blinked in confusion, looking at the unfamiliar forest in the distance, then at Vera, and hesitant gurgling sounds came from his throat.

The big dog's tail wagged slower, and one of its heads even cautiously shrank back, showing a clear resistance to the unknown forest.

It was raised by humans, and rather than searching for possible, unseen "kin," Luwei relied more on and trusted her, its "owner," who provided it with warmth and food and promised not to abandon it.

“I understand.” Vera smiled and patted its middle head again. “Then come home with me. You’ll like it there.”

Taking Fulve back via the Floo Network or Apparition is impractical; it's too big.

Logically and emotionally, only the habitat within a magic scroll can accommodate it.

She unfurled the magic scroll on the spot and laid it flat on the ground; the old parchment gleamed softly in the sunlight.

Vera placed her hand on its thick foreleg and guided Luwei, leading its massive paw to gently touch the surface of the scroll.

Louie's three heads lowered curiously, looking at the small painting that reflected another world, and making confused gurgling sounds in their throats.

As Vera's magic guided and Luwei himself came into contact with it, the light on the scroll intensified.

In the next instant, Lou Williams' massive body began to blur and become transparent, as he was sucked into the painting by an invisible force.

Kreacher was startled and curiously leaned closer to examine him.

On the scroll, at the edge of the vast grassland, appeared a giant three-headed dog, its three heads turning around in bewilderment as it curiously surveyed its surroundings.

Hermella, who had lived here for a long time, was startled by the sudden appearance of this enormous creature. She poked her head out of her nest by the lake and made a wary sound.

But soon, it seemed to smell a familiar scent and tilted its head in confusion.

Does this big, dark dog smell like its owner?

Vera looked at the "first meeting" about to begin in the painting, and a look of anticipation curved her lips.

Although it sounds like a fantasy to make friends between a Cerberus and a Fire Dragon, they have both been tamed and are no longer untamed wild animals.

With her providing emotional support at any time, they should get along quite well.

Even if it really doesn't work out, this world is so big, with each dragon and dog occupying half, that's enough for them to play together peacefully.

She carefully rolled up the scrolls and put them back in the wheelchair compartment, intending to guide them slowly once they returned to the villa.

“Mission accomplished,” Vera said, turning to her little fairy. “Now, it’s time for the journey.”

Since she had applied for a short trip with the Ministry of Magic, she couldn't just turn back after traveling for less than half an hour.

Even if it's just an act, you have to go all the way.

Chapter 137 Can Temples Also Have Consciousness?

The sun was blazing, and the Mediterranean breeze carried the scents of olive trees and the sea. Just being here was enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Vera sat on the sea-facing terrace of the villa, took a deep breath of air so different from that of London, and her mood lightened considerably.

Kreacher had quickly cleared a small, clean area, set up a small round table and comfortable chairs, and even magically brought out a glass of chilled lemonade.

As Kreacher had said, the Black family's villa was indeed very well maintained.

It is hidden near a secluded bay, surrounded by dense olive groves and sturdy stone walls, where ancient Muggle exorcism and protection spells still work, keeping out the noise and prying eyes.

White walls, blue window frames and doorways, typical of Greek island style, while the interior furnishings blend the old luxury of the Blake family with the relaxed feel of the Mediterranean.

Although no one has lived here for a long time, it has a unique tranquil charm that is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

More importantly, just by sitting on the terrace, you can see the golden beach and the jewel-like blue sea in the distance without any obstruction.
