Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

Hermione's magic is indeed improving rapidly.

Because you thought Hermione was just a person?No, she actually has six people!

Bai Xue is tired, Rapunzel is curious, and Jasmine is busy, but there are also Ella, Aurora, and Elsa who are serious about improving Hermione's proficiency.

Although she still couldn't use those particularly advanced magics, she was very proficient in using them like flying spells, which could levitate objects at will.

And these magics make people think that she seems to have all kinds of magic at her fingertips.

Sitting at the dining table, Hermione glanced at the class schedule.

Today is Tuesday, the morning is Herbology, and it is also the only day where the whole day's courses do not overlap with Slytherin House.

Just in time, she could think about what kind of Christmas gift to give to Charles.

Oh my gosh, she forgot about Christmas presents.

Fortunately, she prepared it for others in advance. She originally planned to go home and prepare some Muggle things for Ciel. After all, she didn't know the magical world as well as Ciel. Instead of preparing some things that Ciel already had, It's better to just send a gift from the Muggle world.

Ciel also comes from the world of ordinary people, and he would also like some gifts.

As a result, the fairy tale reversal happened. After being busy throughout the holiday, she had long forgotten about it.

After all, she is a synesthete now, and she has five more people around her. Not to mention, these five people still exist in different customs, different places, and different time periods.

It's easy to disrupt people's lives.

After hastily finishing her breakfast, Hermione walked through the corridors and headed straight to the outdoor Herbology classroom. Along the way, she was still recalling what else she had forgotten besides Christmas gifts.

Oh my gosh!It was just a vacation, but she actually felt like a whole century had passed.

"Magic stone!"

Hermione suddenly thought of the thing she cared about most before the holidays.

I wonder what the progress of Neville, Harry and Ron are. After all, the Dark Lord has a great reputation. No one dares to ignore his name here.

Even after experiencing something as incredible as a fairy tale reversal during the holidays, Hermione still felt that this matter was of great importance when it came to the Dark Lord.

But as for Hermione's worry about the Sorcerer's Stone, several others didn't feel much about it because they didn't understand the world.

Snow White and Rapunzel were even discussing what they had seen at Hogwarts along the way, as well as Hermione's classmates.

For example, when eating at the dining table before, Bai Xue kept staring at Ron because she had never seen anyone besides herself who could eat so much.

Rushing into the classroom, another new and fulfilling day is about to begin.

………………

In the evening, Ciel walked alone in the corridors of the Slytherin cellars.

Unlike Hermione who was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge and spending every day to the fullest, Ciel was busier than usual after returning to Hogwarts.

Although the early stage of the fairy tale reversal went through smoothly, the big plot has not been completely resolved after all. What Ciel needs to do now is to prepare for the final battle that will follow.

Of course, this timeline may be stretched, and it cannot be solved in a few weeks or months, because both Ciel and the villains need time to prepare.

However, there is no rush on these matters. In fact, what is more important at the moment is the issue of age-increasing agents.

Charles's inventory was running low.

Although he can also cook it himself, it is better to have ready-made coolies than to do it himself.

"Knock knock."

Charles knocked on the door of Snape's office.

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, and after confirming that Snape probably didn't welcome him, he pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Snape put down his robe in a panic.

Of course he wasn't doing anything shady and strange, Snape was applying medicine.

"The three-headed dog's wound hasn't healed yet."

Charles said casually without taking himself as an outsider.

Snape did not answer him, but stared at him silently, exuding a cold air.

"The age-enhancing potion is almost finished."

Ciel said.

Snape still didn't answer, and the temperature in the office began to drop.

"How is Dumbledore doing? Has he discussed anything about me?"

Seeing that Ciel's questions seemed to be endless, Snape assessed the gap in combat power between himself and an Obscurial, and decided to send him away as soon as possible.

"Absolutely not."

He calmly uttered a few words.

"Why would Dumbledore pay attention to a nobody like you?"

Ciel nodded.

There was something strange in his heart. Ciel couldn't figure out what happened to Dumbledore, because according to common sense, he would definitely find a chance to see him.

Perhaps it was like the wishing well plot, and there were some external factors that affected Dumbledore.

"The age-enhancing potion is almost finished."

Ciel changed the topic again.

Snape's face was expressionless, but in fact he was making calculations in his mind. He knew the dosage he gave Charles very well. Being able to use it up in such a short period of time meant that he was not using it alone.

But despite thinking this, Snape's expression remained calm.

"Really, that's a coincidence."

"I don't have any here either."

He said slowly like a piece of wood.

But Charles suddenly turned around and looked at him with a half-smile.

"No, I think you should, because I have this."

He suddenly pulled out a square object covered with black cloth from behind him. It was square and looked like a portrait.

………………

If you want a horse to run, you must let it eat some grass. Of course Charles knows this.

So he brought Snape the thing he needed most, the portrait of Lily Evans, which he had gotten through the magic lamp when he helped Jasmine find the location of the magic well in her world.

The magic lamp cannot grant wishes across worlds, and Lily Evans is not a person in its world at all. Theoretically speaking, the magic lamp genie cannot create a portrait of Lily Evans just like Maleficent.

But Ciel copied a memory to it and asked the genie to use it as a reference for making wishes.

There is no need to ask Snape for this memory. Ciel has it in his memory, even more complete than Snape's. This is all due to the strategy team who likes to dig deep into the background.

Moreover, after helping Snape get the portrait, Charles didn't worry that Snape would turn his back on him once he got the thing.

Now that Ciel can get the portrait of Lily Evans, whose soul is long gone, perhaps he can do more things.

For people like Snape, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will grasp it like a life-saving straw, not to mention that Charles has produced real evidence.

On the contrary, not only will he not fall out, but he will seize this glimmer of life even more.

The appearance of the portrait will be the best evidence.
