Chapter 300: Heading to Greece (5th Update)
Chapter 300: Heading to Greece (5th Update)
Two days later, New York, 1:00 AM.
A black van quietly pulled up outside a villa with two lion-like creatures flanking the entrance.
Inside the van were six heavily armed, muscular men.
"Remember, our target this time is a family of three inside. Repeat, try not to harm them. Just use the tranquilizer guns to knock them out and take them quietly."
The lead man reiterated.
"Understood, sir!"
The remaining five men responded in unison.
They were all elite operatives, having carried out countless dangerous missions, including encounters with meta-humans. Capturing a family of three ordinary humans would be a walk in the park for them.
"Don't get complacent. Once the mission is complete, withdraw immediately!"
The leader, however, was not as calm as his subordinates. He knew that while the three inside were just ordinary humans, they had a terrifyingly powerful family member—the Witch.
Although the Witch was not currently at home, there was a risk that if the operation took too long, she might sense something and apparate over.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring villa.
Jerry opened his attribute panel and clicked the button to travel to the Harry Potter world.
The cooldown time for the Mini World had long expired. He had delayed this trip to accumulate more red stars. Thanks to his sister Aisha's efforts and the results of dealing with Kilian and the other Desperate Warriors, his red star count had surpassed 200,000, enough for a decent stay.
Time froze, and in a blink, Jerry found himself back at the Leaky Cauldron.
It was June 15, 1992, and the time was the same as when he left. Voldemort's diary still lay on the table, confirming that no time had passed in the Mini World.
The next day, Jerry received approval from the Ministry of Magic to leave the country and an entry permit from the Greek Ministry of Magic.
Normally, a Witch would need dual approval from their home country's Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of the country they were entering to travel abroad. For young Witches, especially those without parents, obtaining such approval was often difficult.
So, before the holiday, Jerry had approached Snape for help. The reason was simple: during the summer break, students of Magical History had to write a paper, and many young Witches chose to travel abroad during this time, just like Hermione, who had plans to visit France.
Jerry's paper was about Greek magic, so he needed to apply to travel to Greece.
However, his easy approval was also due to his current status. He was not just a second-year student at Hogwarts but also a well-known national Quidditch star in Britain.
Why Greece? Because Greece is right next to Albania.
Why not go directly to Albania? Because Dumbledore knew Voldemort's main soul was hiding in the Dark Forest of Albania.
Voldemort had spent a long time in Albania researching Dark Magic. If Jerry were to go directly to Albania, it would raise suspicions.
Voldemort had lured Jerry to Albania by claiming it was the location of Slytherin's treasure. The true intention was likely to reunite with the soul fragment hiding in Albania. Voldemort probably wanted to use some method to take over Jerry's body or have Jerry help reconstruct his physical form.
Jerry had agreed to go to Albania not to help Voldemort but because he believed he could now find Voldemort's main soul and seal it, preventing any future trouble.
It would also be a good opportunity to travel to Greece.
Greece has a significant place in the annals of Magic, with many famous witches hailing from ancient Greece.
The invincible Andros, who shared the same Giants patronus as Jerry, the first recorded breeder of a Basilisk and the first creator of a Horcrux, the infamous Hephaestus, and even the Three-Headed Dog that Hagrid owns was sold to him by a Greek witch.
Additionally, there are many dangerous, powerful, and mysterious magical creatures in Greece: the Chimera, the Griffin, the Hippocampus, the Manticore, and the Three-Headed Dog.
In truth, sealing Voldemort was just a side mission. The real purpose for Jerry was to explore ancient Greek Magic, seek out various powerful magical creatures, and improve his magical skills.
"Mr. Carmen, are you really checking out?"
Tom's face showed a look of regret when he heard that Jerry was checking out after just one day.
How could he not be regretful? After all, Jerry had been a regular guest during the past two summer holidays, bringing in quite a few Galleons.
"I'm going to travel to Greece, so..."
Jerry smiled and shrugged.
"Oh, Greece? That's an ancient city. You should visit Mykonos Island. It's a famous tourist destination, a very beautiful island, though it can be a bit dangerous.
I remember a famous Welsh Quidditch player, I think his name was Dai Llewellyn, was eaten by a Chimera while on vacation there!"
Old Tom reminisced.
"Um..."
Jerry couldn't help but twitch his lips. What are you implying here?
Ignoring Old Tom, Jerry went to the fireplace at the Leaky Cauldron, grabbed a handful of Floo Powder, and shouted, "Ministry of Magic", before stepping into the fireplace.
For his trip to Greece, he certainly wouldn't choose a time-consuming and labor-intensive Muggle transportation method like a plane.
With the official approval from the Ministry of Magic, he could use the Ministry's Portkey to instantly appear at the Greek Ministry of Magic.
Although it would cost a few Galleons, Jerry certainly wasn't short on Galleons.
Walking out of the gilded fireplace at the Ministry of Magic, he crossed the hall filled with witches and wizards, then took the elevator to the seventh floor to visit the Department of Magical Sports and Games to see his coach and teammates.
Even though he only played during matches, since he was already at the Ministry of Magic, it wouldn't be right not to pay a visit.
After visiting his coach and teammates, he went to the Portkey Office on the sixth floor.
"Mr. Granger, this is the permit for travel to the Greek Ministry of Magic."
Jerry politely handed over the visa sent by the Ministry of Magic the previous day to the Portkey Office director.
Greengrass took the visa, glanced at it, and then looked at Jerry with a mix of nostalgia and admiration.
"I can't believe it. The last time I saw you, you were just a little boy, and now you're all grown up. When you return from Greece, come visit us. Daphne often speaks of you."
"Um, sure!"
Jerry responded, a bit awkwardly.
Greengrass didn't say much more and retrieved the Portkey to the Greek Ministry of Magic from a pile of Portkeys.
