Gwendelin panicked and blocked Ryan's mouth with her hands, her eyes full of vicious warning.

But Lady Catherine had already heard Ryan's cry. She strode upstairs and entered the room with a spatula in her hand. The aroma of pancakes was coming from above.

"It's nothing, Mom, Ryan and I are playing around." Gwendelin spoke first, raising her hands, flashing a pair of big harmless eyes, showing eight teeth, and smiled very innocently.

Catherine shifted her gaze to Ryan.

Gwendelin immediately showed a pitiful expression as if she was begging her grandfather to sue her grandmother. She regretted that she had told Ryan so many "criminal facts".

Whether it was searching for dragon blood on the black market, secretly hiding various materials at home, or giving Ryan a potion made from unicorn blood, it was enough for Catherine to beat her until she didn't even know her father.

Ryan raised the corners of his lips: "I was just about to tell you what happened just now, Mrs. Catherine."

Gwendolen wrinkled her nose and showed a fierce expression, but as soon as Catherine glanced over, she immediately lowered her eyebrows and wrapped her fingers around the tassel of her shawl, looking like a good girl.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and glanced at Ryan secretly, trying to win his sympathy.

But when she thought that this boy was a guy who didn't even slack off in Occlumency and had a heart as solid as stone, Gwendelin finally sighed in despair.

She plans to surrender.

It is safer to say it yourself than to let Ryan say it, because slightly changing the structure of the words can make one sentence have two meanings.

"I..." she said frustratedly.

"I want to tell you that Miss Gwendelin has fully realized her mistakes. I am willing to forgive her mistakes, so I would like to ask you to be a witness." Ryan said.

Gwendelin looked at Ryan in confusion.

"So, Miss Gwendelin, according to what we just said, what are you going to do now?"

Ryan looked at her with a smile, and Gwendolin felt that every tooth of the boy in front of her was shining with cold light.

But she knew that she had to give in. If she had to choose between face and butt, she was still very wise.

"sorry!"

She bowed violently.

Ryan coughed.

"sorry!!"

This time she shouted it louder.

When she bent down, Gwendolen's teeth chattered loudly.

"anything else?"

"I won't dare again next time!"

Gwendelin clenched her fists.

Catherine showed a pleased smile. She touched her daughter's head and praised her, which made Gwendelin smile uglier than crying.

"I'm about to make the pancakes. If you don't mind, how about you all go to the living room and wait for a while?"

Catherine was in a happy mood. She felt that the troublemaker in her family had finally grown up.

It seems that it is necessary to make more friends.

She nodded secretly and sighed softly.If it weren't for her status as a hybrid magical animal, Gwendolen wouldn't have many friends.

Catherine knew that her daughter was very angry. Although she didn't say it, she actually knew what others thought of her.

After all, she is an "alien" among wizards.

Ryan and Gwendelin sat down in the living room. Catherine made a cup of black tea for Ryan, and then went to the kitchen to finish the pancakes.

Gwendelin held her own bottle of boiled water and glanced at Ryan's cup unhappily.

Although her mother forgave her, she still couldn't escape the punishment.

Ryan took a symbolic sip of black tea, tapped the rim of the cup with his fingers, and asked, "What was that sign that fell out when you took the potion bottle?"

"What are you talking about?" Gwendelin pretended to be confused, as if she had never seen the so-called brand.

Ryan knew that this was her secret and did not pursue it further. He continued to ask, "Besides the unicorn's blood, what is the blood in the other bottle?"

Gwendelin quickly made a "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh on me" thing. When she saw Catherine coming out of the kitchen with pancakes, she immediately put her hands on her knees.

"Sorry, I just made some. I don't know if they suit your taste." Catherine took some more pastries from a box.

From Ryan's perspective, he could just see the strange runes carved in the box, emitting wisps of cold air.

Gwendolen raised her chin proudly, indicating who the maker of the box was.

He is indeed a very talented little wizard. No wonder he has caught the eye of Nico Flamel.

Ryan looked away, took a piece of pancake and jam, took a bite, and praised: "It tastes great."

A little sweet, but not unpleasant.

In addition, since he had not eaten anything since his departure in the morning, Ryan also felt a little hungry.

"As long as it suits your taste," said Catherine.

Gwendoline wanted to take a piece of cake, but Catherine stopped her with her eyes.

"It's okay, I can't eat so much." Ryan said aloud, "Anyway, Miss Gwendelin has already apologized..."

The little girl immediately grabbed a piece of cake and refused to let go. This time Catherine no longer stopped her. She watched the two children eating with soft eyes.

After Gwendelin finished eating the cake, she licked her fingers, then leaned into Ryan's ear and whispered: "That bottle of blood is my own..."

Ryan's face froze and he couldn't help but put down the pancakes in his hand.

Gwendolin chuckled triumphantly, seeming to be very satisfied with Ryan's reaction.

"What are you whispering about?" asked Catherine.

"This is our secret, mother." Gwendolyn said, her voice deliberately longer, "right, Ryan?"

Ryan nodded silently, he fully understood what "there is only one step between genius and madness".

Moreover, it even makes sense for people to do so.After all, strictly speaking, Gwendolen is also a magical animal, a rare species with Veela and elf blood. Her blood can indeed be used as a potion ingredient.

When the black tea was almost finished, Ryan saw his parents walking towards this side from the window.

They couldn't see the wizard's house, so they stood where Ryan stopped before and called Ryan's name.

"My family came to see me." Ryan and Catherine greeted.

Catherine insisted on holding Gwendelin's hand to see Ryan off.

They walked out of the house and out of the range of the Muggle shielding spell.

Bach felt his eyes flash as he saw his son and an extremely beautiful woman appearing in front of him.

Just as he was about to smile stupidly, the expression on his face became distorted——

Valerie had already tightened the soft flesh around Bach's waist without revealing anything.

"Hello," Bach said cautiously.

"Hello," Catherine said, "I'm sorry, my daughter invited Ryan to our home without authorization..."

"We had a lot of fun!" Gwendelin quickly interrupted her mother.

She didn't know what the personalities of Ryan's parents were, and she didn't want to be judged by a few adults again.

Bach then withdrew all his gaze from Catherine and saw the pretty little girl behind her.

Catherine looked for Ryan's opinion with her eyes. Seeing Ryan shaking his head slightly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also helpless. Could she say, "I'm sorry, sir, madam, my daughter kidnapped your son for a potion experiment?"

"Thank you for your hospitality." Ryan bowed to Catherine and said meaningfully to Gwendolin, "Thank you for your 'entertainment' as well, Miss Gwendelin."

Gwendelin showed an angelic smile and replied in a cooing voice: "You're welcome——"

Catherine glared at her.

After the two families said goodbye to each other, Ryan took his parents on the Knight Bus outside the woods.

When Ryan was going through the security check, Valerie still had a cold face and refused to pay attention to him no matter what Bach said.

"Don't be angry, mom." Ryan finished drinking the polyjuice antidote, "That lady is a half-blood Veela. In fact, dad is already quite good without showing his ugly face."

"Veela?" Bach quickly grabbed this life-saving straw.

"A kind of magical animal. Don't we also have legends about them among our people? Fairies in forests, lakes and mountains can charm men's minds."

Valerie's face looked better now, but she was still dissatisfied and said to Bach: "Look at yourself, and then look at your son, you are really living more and more."

Bach quickly apologized and finally gained Valerie's understanding.

After returning home, Bach pulled Ryan aside seriously and asked him quietly: "Lian, my mother and I are planning to have another brother or sister...this...what do you think?"

Ryan shook his head. Bach thought his son was unhappy, but he heard Ryan say: "I don't care, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Bach sighed and said: "Uncle Jüle's incident has had a great impact on my mother and I. I think that if something happens in the future, having more relatives will always bring more hope..."

Ryan nodded and said, "Just let you and mom consider this matter. I won't object."
