Oh No, Young Master Has Run Away From Home

"Jeans, I think I need an explanation." Ollivander slammed his fist on the table angrily. "Why did Aaron's note say that he was overwhelmed with classes?"

"Oh, this..."

"Stop stammering, what exactly are your plans for his vacation?"

"That is, we arranged some tutoring classes for the young master," Jeans explained with a smirk.

"Some?" Ollivander paused, his gaze fixed on Jeans. "How many exactly?"

"Three subjects, or roughly four if you include swordsmanship."

"Really?" Ollivander was somewhat skeptical. If it were only four subjects, Aaron wouldn't have written the words "unable to bear the burden." He knew the boy's mental fortitude.

"This is the head of the family's arrangement," Jeans immediately added, dispelling Ollivander's doubts.

As for the arrangements made by his ancestors, he selectively ignored them. To tell the truth? That was absolutely impossible.

Ollivander was getting on in years, though that age wasn't much for Warlock. But if he knew Aaron's holiday was filled with a whopping nineteen classes, he'd be furious.

In his rage, he will definitely send a message to the mistress of the house, and then he, the Butler, will definitely be in deep trouble.

Ollivander managed to calm down and said meaningfully, "Aaron is only ten years old, and you've already arranged four tutoring classes for him. The pressure might be a bit too much."

Holidays are for relaxation; you can't let him be too stressed or overly demanding.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander, this was my oversight," Jeans said sincerely. "I will definitely take care of Young Master's feelings in the future."

"The most urgent task is to find Aaron as soon as possible."

He's still just a child; it would be terrible if he got into danger.

"Don't worry, young master has dedicated protection." Jeans said this with a relaxed expression, showing great confidence in the two bodyguards beside Aaron.

However, the next moment, his expression turned rather unpleasant.

However, upon noticing Ollivander in front of him, he quickly adjusted his expression.

"Mr. Ollivander, I assure you that the young master's safety will not be a problem."

"The most painful thing is."

When Aaron comes back, I'll have him come to my place, and I'll definitely give him a good scolding.

I couldn't discipline him, so I told his mother to discipline him. At such a young age, he's already learned to run away from home.

"Well... I think it's better not to tell Madam."

Although the young master is still young, he has his own ideas.

As elders, our role is to guide, not interfere.

Ollivander was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly. "Perhaps you are right."

I still have customers in my shop, so I won't disturb you any longer.

"Please take care!"

Watching Ollivander walk away, Jeans took a deep breath, hung the "Closed" sign outside, and closed the shop door.

"Come out!"

Two men emerged from the shadows of the wall; they were Aaron's two bodyguards.

"You have disappointed me greatly, I am extremely disappointed."

You can lose sight of a living person right under your nose.

The family has invested enormous resources in raising you, and you can't even handle this small task? You're truly useless.

The two exchanged a glance and remained silent in tacit agreement.

Past experience has taught them that it's easier to be quiet or speak less when being scolded.

"Phew! Explain yourself!"

How did you lose track of them?

"Young Master went to Ollivanders Wand Shop," one of them said, sounding somewhat aggrieved. "Lord Jeans, as you know, that place is practically half of Young Master Aaron's home."

And Mr. Ollivander is the lady's uncle; out of respect, we cannot simply enter that place.

"Lord Jeans, we can guarantee that we have blocked the gate."

"We've done it this way before, but this time something unexpected happened." The other person hurriedly said, "After Mr. Ollivander left in such a hurry, we realized something might be wrong, but we searched every corner of the Wand Shop and couldn't find any trace of the young master."

"That's not a reason; I only look at the conclusion."

I'm so sorry.

"Any objections to deducting one month's salary from both of you?"

"No objections," the two said in unison.

"Forget it, there's no point in discussing this now." Jeans sighed. "You have a chance to redeem yourselves, you know what that is, right?"

"We'll go find the young master right away."

"Not too stupid."

Just as the two were about to make a move, Jeans stopped them.

"Wait a minute, do you know how to find them?"

The two looked at each other and remained silent once again.

What's so difficult about finding someone? Just ask them one by one.

A handsome twelve-year-old boy with a rather eye-catching pet, a feature that stands out like a firefly in the dark.

Besides, the young master is only High-level Mage. He can't Apparition or use any advanced magic. Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic prohibits non-Magicians from using magic in the Muggle world, and so on.

All these limiting factors combined mean he's just an ordinary child, and it's easy to imagine how far he can run.

Although they knew exactly what was going on, the two still chose to follow their superior's instructions.

When Jeans saw that neither of them spoke and their eyes showed much lack of seriousness, he knew what they were thinking and was utterly speechless.

"You all need to take this seriously."

You've all watched the young master grow up. Would he have chosen to run away from home if he wasn't confident?

"The usual methods for finding people are for ordinary people, but is the young master an ordinary person?" Jeans showed unprecedented sternness. "Get this straight, this is not a prank, nor is it a drill."

This was a premeditated runaway. The young master is out of our sight, and none of us can guarantee his safety.

Upon hearing this, the two no longer looked so calm, and even became somewhat anxious.

"Lord Jeans, we..."

"Don't worry so much." Jeans waved his hand. "Young Master is much more mature than you think. He will take good care of himself."

However, this is a very serious provocation for us. You are all elites who have followed me for more than ten years, so you know what I mean.

Letting the young master slip away right under our noses is already our duty, but if we can't find him before the start of the semester, it's not just a matter of duty, it's a complete loss of face!

"Gentlemen, we have protected the dignity of the Twelfth Prince, and now it faces a severe challenge. If we are defeated, we will never be able to hold our heads high in front of Young Master again."

The two immediately straightened their backs, their expressions extremely serious.

"Lord Jeans, what should we do?"

"Let me think about it." Jeans rubbed his forehead. "First, contact the others and gather the remaining four people together."

"Yes." One of them took out Wand and drew the Gaius family symbol in the air.

Red talismans floated in the air, and before long, four figures suddenly appeared in the Small Shop.

Among the four, some were dressed casually and holding a Goyle club, some looked drowsy and had just woken up, some wore glasses and were slouching, and some were holding an ice cream.

Today wasn't a shift change day, so they were all enjoying life and weren't behaving as formally as usual. But when they received the order from their shift, they still rushed over immediately.

Once everyone had arrived, Jeans coughed lightly, letting each person see the note Aaron had left behind.

"Everyone, I apologize for gathering you all here at the last minute."

But young master Aaron ran away from home, and the challenge letter had already been issued.

The last time something like this happened was over three weeks ago; that generation of guardians was defeated. Whether we can uphold our dignity this time depends on your performance.

"Lord Jeans, please speak plainly!"

"How do we find them?" The only woman among the group stepped forward and asked.

"Very good, Anna." Jeans gave her an approving look. "The young master has only been running for less than half an hour. We still have a great chance. I mean, let's split up."

Number One, go ask around in Diagon Alley. There are too many people and too many eyes here. No matter how well he disguises himself, someone will always see him. Maybe he's hiding in one of the neighbors' shops.

When asking around, remember not to mention clothing, pets, or appearance. These external factors are easy to fake. Just say it's a child around twelve years old alone.

Number two, contact Gaius family relatives and friends. He doesn't have many connections, so pay close attention to these.

Number Three, you can inquire throughout the Muggle world. Even if he wanted to run, it's impossible for him to leave London in such a short time. I allow you to use Gaius's influence in the Muggle world to thoroughly search every inn and station in this city, and offer a high reward for information about the young master.

Number four, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Go back to Gaius Castle and search it carefully. Do not miss any place except the treasure vault.

By the way, have someone check if anything is missing. The young master would never choose to run away without any preparation; he would at least have to take some funds with him.

Number 5, you've gone to the Knockturn Alley. We can't rule out the possibility that the young master might be making a risky move or taking an unorthodox approach.

Number 1, you... stay and watch the shop.

"What?" Anna looked completely bewildered. "Me, mind the shop? Are you kidding me?"

"Your task is the most important. If anyone discovers any clues, you must notify us immediately. Moreover, the young master might turn back."

"Understood." Anna reluctantly accepted the task. "Then, Lord Jeans, what are you to do?"

"Me?" Jeans smiled bitterly. "As per the young master's request, I'm preparing the things he needs for the start of school."

"If we fail to find him before Hogwarts starts, it will at least save us a little bit of face."

Everyone:...
