In fact, Sean hadn't expected his Magical Creatures to discuss this issue during non-human time.

For Sean, it's not just the animals' trust and reliability that comes from his exceptionally high Magical Creature Affinity, but also the bond he develops with them through spending so much time together.

These Magical Creatures had become like family to him, people he could rely on and trust. Sean also enjoyed being relied on and trusted by them.

After calming down the group of little guys, Sean turned his attention to the few little Thunderbird that had just hatched about half a day ago, but were already a year old in size.

The flock of little Thunderbird, led by the big Thunderbird, watched Sean with curiosity and anticipation.

They were stolen by smugglers when they were still eggs, and were eventually delivered by Grindelwald, thus benefiting Sean.

It's worth mentioning that Thunderbird are naturally gifted with extremely high sensory abilities, so even Thunderbird egg, which lacks intelligence and isn't fully formed, will exhibit magical qualities. In other words, even as an egg, the Thunderbird is a highly intelligent and Magical Creatures.

This is why these baby Thunderbird, despite being newly hatched, regarded Sean as their master, just like the adult Thunderbird. They are probably one of the few Magical Creatures that can sense Sean's affinity without needing to make eye contact, or even through the eggshell.

Therefore, the little Thunderbird were simply curious, without the slightest fear.

"Come on, little ones, have some good food." Sean smiled happily and then magically produced a pile of food.

The little Thunderbird ' eyes lit up, abandoning even the last vestige of their former composure as the Lord of Thunder. They flew over in flocks, crowding in front of Sean to wait for food.

"Then—" Sean tossed the food into the air, and the little Thunderbird immediately took flight.

Surprisingly, the Thunderbird didn't fight over it at all. Although the chicks' enormous appetites made them almost unable to control their drooling, the six Thunderbird simply circled around the one in the middle.

Sean looked closely and was surprised to find that the little Thunderbird that was surrounded was the smallest of the seven!

The smallest Thunderbird, like the youngest being cared for by its older siblings, quickly snatched the food that Sean threw up and then retreated to the side.

Then, all the little Thunderbird, including the youngest that had received food but hadn't swallowed it, looked longingly at Sean.

"That's interesting—" Sean grinned, then tossed all the food in his hand up at once.

The youngest, having already received food, immediately circled around, but instead of fighting for it, it circled around its older siblings in the same manner as its older brothers and sisters had done before, as if on guard.

The remaining six Thunderbird swooped down with exceptional flair and snatched all the food in order of size.

Then, the seven little Thunderbird flew back and looked at Sean.

"Screech—(Can we eat now?)"

The calls of the Thunderbird overlapped, sounding like an audio system mixed with electrical noise.

Sean chuckled and waved his hand, "Let's eat."

The Thunderbird landed slowly and then gracefully began to peck at their food in small bites.

At the same time, a tail patted Sean on the shoulder.

Sean turned around and saw the Aero-Wing Bird with its smooth head staring at him expectantly.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~ (I'm hungry, food, have some.)"

Sean laughed out loud and grabbed the Aero-Wing Bird's head, giving it a good rub.

"What are you getting involved in, you fish eater?"

"Wah-woo~ Wah-woo~ (Try it, we're all birds.)"

Sean, Sean decided to prepare a big meal for all the Magical Creatures so they could replenish their energy.

Watching the Thunderbird eat, Sean observed them closely and discovered that there were actually quite a few differences between each Thunderbird.

For example, the smallest one has two lion tails that are much longer than those of the other Thunderbird, and the feathers at the ends are much thicker.

The third ptarmigan's beak is longer than Thunderbird others, and the golden sheen on its beak is also brighter.

As for the largest one, its wings, especially the hind wings, are thicker and more ornate than those of its younger siblings, interspersed with translucent pale gold feathers, giving it a very three-dimensional appearance.

Furthermore, Sean also observed that the only Thunderbird that was close to adulthood, the one that brought the seven little ones that originally had eggs, was not as well-behaved and united as the seven little ones; it was more independent.

Sean speculated that the Thunderbird ' condition was likely related to their environment while still in the egg. As Magical Creatures with an exceptionally strong sense of nature, they seemed capable of adjusting their survival strategies after birth based on their perception of the outside world while still in the egg.

The seven eggs fell into the hands of smugglers before they were even hatched. The baby Thunderbird experienced constant danger and changing environments while inside the eggs, which led to this situation.

Just as the Great Thunderbird takes care of the eggs, Thunderbird are naturally a type of bird that helps each other. So the seven chicks became a united group after they were born, and they took priority in taking care of the weakest one in the group.

"Thunderbird are really interesting—" Sean grinned.

After all the Magical Creatures had finished eating, Sean for a moment and decided to call the seven little ones by more... meaningful names.

The eldest brother, second brother, third sister, fourth brother, fifth sister, sixth brother, and Seven.

"I'm a genius..." Sean smiled with satisfaction.

After the Magical Creatures team returned to the cabin in a grand procession, Sean went to the deep water area again.

The Selma Lake Monster brought an egg with it, but where is it?

"Dinner's ready—" Sean poured a bucket of the Selma Lake Monster's favorite food down the drain.

The food gradually sank to the bottom, and there was no reaction for a long time.

Just as Sean was about to go into the water to check the situation, huge bubbles rose up, and then a dark shadow rapidly expanded.

Water splashed everywhere as the giant head of the Selma Lake Monster burst out of the water.

"Hiss-ha—hiss-ha—(You're here! You're here! You've come!)"

The Selma Lake Monster approached like a docile puppy.

Then, incidentally, he splashed water all over Sean.

"Why didn't I see you come up? Where's the egg?" Sean smiled and patted its head.

After their conversation, Sean learned that the Selma Lake Monster's eggs had also hatched. Then... the Basilisk fell into a deep sleep together in the deepest part of the deep water...

Sean smiled wryly, and as he spoke, a small dark figure quickly appeared.

A creature about the size of a python appeared on the surface of the lake, though it was pitifully small compared to an adult lake Selma Lake Monster.

Furthermore, while developing a relationship with the little lake monster, Sean was surprised to discover that the two lake monsters, one big and one small, looked exactly alike!

The smaller Selma Lake Monster is a scaled-down version of the larger one. In fact, the two monsters have remarkably similar personalities: both are extremely fierce towards humans and creatures, but very dependent on Sean, and they both seem to have a bit of a masochistic tendency.

When Sean was carrying food, he accidentally bumped into the little lake monster. Before Sean could apologize, the little guy clung to him even more tightly...

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

After playing with the Magical Creatures for a while, before leaving, Sean fed Dave, Pudding, Naja, the Basilisk, and the Great Selma Lake Monster a portion of Magical Creature Cultivation Liquid.

This culture medium is not effective if the Magical Creatures are young; the Magical Creatures need to be powerful to achieve better results.

In addition, Sean actually had another bold idea, but he could only put it into practice later.

It's almost time for the time he and Young Grindelwald agreed upon.

After quickly eating something, Sean returned to Godric's Hollow with practiced ease.

This once peaceful and bustling valley now appears somewhat chaotic, and the Muggle living here are also experiencing great panic due to the missing year.

At that moment, the little girl Milani's father, who is also the town mayor, is giving a speech to the residents in the central square.

"Please don't panic or get anxious. This is indeed a very frightening thing. I contacted people in other regions and found that this situation has occurred everywhere."

"At this point, panicking won't solve anything. Friends, please take a detailed count of the number of people in your household and come here to do so. We've also arranged for a doctor from the clinic to examine everyone..."

The mayor remained relatively calm, and the measures he implemented were quite effective.

Sean nodded, then found Capen.

To his surprise, Capen, who had grown considerably taller, was holding his head and muttering something to himself.

Sean moved closer and heard the other person's voice.

"Oh my god, oh my god... How did it really turn out like this? I'm doomed, I've made a huge mess of this..."

Sean suddenly blurted out, "What kind of basket? How big is it? The kind that's huge?"

"Huh?!" Capen turned his head in alarm, his mouth stammering, "Mr. Wallop?!"

"Looks like you're alright. The remaining Obscurus seeds haven't affected you this past year," Sean said with a smile.

"Mr. Wallop!" Capen's throat bobbed, then he lowered his head dejectedly. "I want to apologize to you..."

"Admit your mistake? Why?"

Then, Capen explained in detail how he had prayed for time to speed up so that he could enroll in school sooner.

Sean laughed out loud, "It's not very polite to say it like that, but Capen, you're overthinking it. A little wizard's wish, even with magic, can't affect this world, let alone the ephemeral concept of time."

Hearing this, Capen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, your wish is about to come true. In just over six months, you will be able to enroll in Hogwarts."

The word "Hogwarts" made Capen's eyes light up instantly, and he became so excited that he was almost incoherent.

"Really? Oh my god, I can go to the best School of Magic in the world... Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god."

Sean found it amusing. "It's good that you weren't affected by the Obscurus. Have some fun for a while, I have something to take care of."

"Okay! Best of luck, sir!"

After saying goodbye to Capen, Sean followed the scent of magic to the Dumbledore's old house.

The door to the bedroom on the second floor was ajar, and Sean went over and knocked.

"Come in," Young Grindelwald.'s voice rang out.

Sean pushed open the door and went in, and was surprised to find that the original Young Grindelwald was like a completely different person!

Her previously messy long hair and beard were neatly groomed, and her worn-out plain robe was replaced with a brand new one.

However, despite his revamped appearance, Grindelwald looked considerably older.

"You're here?" He sat down in the chair and crossed his legs.

"Sir, what's going on?" Sean asked tentatively.

"What? You have a problem with that?" Young Grindelwald glanced at him.

Sean immediately shrugged. "Never mind."

Grindelwald held out his hand. "Where is that thing?"

Sean knew the other person was referring to the asparagus Asparagus Fern that had absorbed the blood of two adult Qilin.

He took it out immediately.

The emerald green bamboo is tinged with pale red, as are the exquisitely crafted veins of its leaves.

Young Grindelwald took the potted Asparagus Fern, examined it for a while, and raised his eyebrows.

"Amazing technique and beautiful magic—"

Sean nodded in agreement. Grindelwald's magic was extremely rare and could even withstand the erosion of time.

"As expected of me—" Young Grindelwald. finished the sentence.

Sean: "..."

This narcissistic and shameless attitude...

Young Grindelwald said no more. He raised the branch wand that Sean had left behind and pointed it at Asparagus Fern.

Under the influence of that unknown curse, blood began to seep out from every corner of the Asparagus Fern.

Only then did Sean suddenly take a step back.

This magic...

He couldn't sense the magic in his memory back then, but now that it was right in front of him, he finally had a direct feeling for it.

The magic contained in the blood of the Qilin is terrifying!

Obscurus is even larger and purer Obscurus!

Sean had no doubt that even this tiny drop of blood that had just seeped out possessed a magic power equivalent to several of his own!

Grindelwald said that Young Grindelwald needed to absorb the concentrated magic from this blood so that their magic could be equal...

Hiss... Sean gasped.

He realized that he had even underestimated the power of wizards of Grindelwald and Dumbledore's caliber.

Sean even suspected that even the four Founders of Hogwarts might not be a match for these two top wizards, one black and one white...

The Qilin's Blood was seeping out bit by bit, causing the temperature in the room to fluctuate between hot and cold. Furthermore, Sean even smelled a very strange odor.

That taste was like it could make me do something magical...

Young Grindelwald eventually extracted all the Qilin blood, and the potted Asparagus Fern gradually turned into lifeless dust, which was eventually blown away in the house.

"Good health, my friend," Young Grindelwald smiled at Sean.

Runes, seemingly prepared in advance, appeared one after another beneath his feet.

Then, he drank the blood clot in one gulp.
