Elisabetta turned to her son. "Blaise, darling, why don't you go ahead and take care of our arrangements inside? I'd like a moment with Harry."

Blaise nodded, giving Harry a knowing look before heading into the Ministry. As he walked away, Harry felt a shift in the atmosphere, Elisabetta’s gaze sharpening with a calculated curiosity.

“Harry, I’ve heard quite a bit about you from my son,” she began, her tone smooth and practiced. “It’s impressive how you’ve managed to navigate the complexities of our world at such a young age.”

Harry, ever cautious, responded with a polite smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Zabini. I’ve had good mentors and friends along the way.”

Elisabetta’s eyes gleamed with interest. “Indeed. Blaise speaks highly of your abilities and your... resourcefulness. It’s rare to find someone who can balance power with subtlety.”

Harry knew she was probing, testing his reactions. “Resourcefulness is essential in our world, especially when dealing with the unexpected,” he replied evenly.

She smiled, a touch of admiration in her expression. “You’re quite right. It’s a quality that will serve you well, especially with the challenges you’ll face.”

Nigel’s voice chimed in Harry’s mind. “Master Harry, it appears Mrs. Zabini is quite the inquisitor. Be wary of her intentions.”

Harry mentally chuckled. “I’m aware, Nigel."

Elisabetta continued, her tone shifting to a more personal note. “You know, Harry, Blaise and I have always believed in the importance of strong alliances. It’s the backbone of our society.”Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Harry nodded, understanding the underlying message. “I agree. Strong alliances and trust are invaluable.”

She looked pleased with his response. “Exactly. Trust and mutual respect. It’s what binds us together.” She paused, her gaze piercing. “And it’s something I hope we can extend between our families.”

Harry considered her words carefully. “I appreciate the sentiment, Mrs. Zabini. Trust and respect are earned over time, through actions and shared experiences.”

Elisabetta’s smile widened, genuine approval in her eyes. “Well said, Harry. I believe you and Blaise will achieve great things together.”

Blaise returned at that moment, a folder in hand. “Everything’s set, Mother. We can proceed whenever Harry is ready.”

"Thank you, Mrs. Zabini," Harry responded politely, stepping back and giving her a respectful nod.

Mrs. Zabini smiled warmly at both boys before turning and walking away, her graceful figure disappearing into the bustling crowd.

"Well, that was unexpected," Harry remarked, adjusting his bag.

Blaise chuckled, shaking his head. "You get used to it. She's always been very... affectionate."

Harry nodded, still processing the encounter. "Let's get moving. We have a lot to do."

The familiar tug behind Harry's navel signaled the beginning of their journey. In an instant, the bustling city of Madrid faded away, replaced by the vibrant sights and sounds of Nigeria.

As Harry surveyed his surroundings, he couldn't help but be astonished. "Is this the equivalent of the Ministry in Nigeria?" he asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Blaise nodded, a knowing smile on his face. "Sort of, but it's more like a giant tribe. The highest rank here is the Spiritual Chieftain, a title that holds immense respect and authority."

Harry observed the vibrant scene before him. Unlike the formal and structured Ministry of Magic in Britain, this place was bustling with life and activity, brimming with a sense of community and tradition. The open area was filled with various huts and larger communal buildings made of natural materials, all intricately decorated with symbols and patterns that spoke of ancient magic and deep cultural significance.

Men and women dressed in colorful robes moved about, some carrying out tasks that seemed both mundane and magical. There were healers tending to the sick with potions and spells, craftsmen creating beautiful artifacts imbued with enchantments, and elders teaching young wizards and witches about their heritage and the secrets of their magic.

Nigel's voice broke through Harry's thoughts, maintaining its usual sharpness. "Master Harry, it seems we have stumbled upon a unique fusion of tradition and magic. Quite different from the bureaucratic corridors you're used to, isn't it?"

Harry mentally agreed, fascinated by the harmonious blend of the magical and the everyday. "It's incredible, Nigel. There's so much life here."
