Hogwarts Archmage

He picked up and put down the fork, placing it diagonally on the left side of the plate. Wald's fingers tapped its handle unconsciously.

Marn waited quietly for his answer. Esther lowered his head to read the menu on the table, but never turned the page. The wizards in the restaurant continued to eat, but lowered their voices and even touched the plates with their knives and forks. The sound disappeared, and in the entire rotunda, only the sound of his fingertips touching the tableware was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Maybe after a long time, or maybe just a moment, he began to say:

"I just want wizards to stand in the sun. Let the highest governing body of wizards be to protect the existence of wizards, rather than a funny agency that comes to arrest you because you use magic to change the TV set to another appearance. Also let Ma On the day when I knock on the door of the wizarding world, I don’t dare to move.”

"What about me?" Ma En asked.

"You don't have to do anything, just live well."

"You or you, if you want to give me such a level of care, it's impossible for me to do nothing."

Walder smiled and said, "You really don't have to do anything. You have been studying with teachers in the Muggle world since you were a child. You should know that Muggles have a weapon that can destroy the whole world, and you are the weapon in the wizarding world. You just need to take a step forward on that day and let Muggles learn to respect it... In fact, it's hard to say when we will get to that point, or we may have completely integrated before that day comes. into their lives.”

"I will always die."

"At that time, there should be very few of these people here left," Wald said, wrapping his hands around everyone present. "If we can only rely on intimidation at that time, then it will not matter whether the wizarding world exists or not. .”

Marn was silent for a while, then picked up the menu on the table and began to discuss with Esther what to eat. The wizards present also returned to their original appearance, but they could vaguely feel that there was a warm and joyful mood among them. fermentation in between.

Early the next morning, Marne and Esther came to Hermione's clinic, where they had made an appointment yesterday.

Hermione at home... How should I put it, except for the change of clothes, there is no big difference from when she was in school. Her hair is still not well managed, and she always carries a bag with One or several books.

Ma En once taught her a little trick that she did to get her flattened hair out. She almost cried after learning it - if she just looked like a lion before using it, after using it, she became a proper Simba the Lion King. , Ma En thought about it, that little trick seemed to have a fluffy effect...

If she didn't speak, she would be in line with the traditional definition of "nerd" from every angle. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a girl would perform a full-on martial arts show with others, and she would be fatal in the fight.

They also met Mr. and Mrs. Granger, a very gentle couple. Only when they were told to eat less sweets during the lunch gathering, there were some places where people could be sure that Hermione was their child and not picked up. of.

Esther seems to be very concerned about her teeth. She even found a notebook to record some of the reminders from Hermione's parents...

"Esther...it's really not necessary. We are wizards. At worst, we can just pull out all the teeth and drink some potion to make them grow back." Ma En couldn't help but said helplessly when he saw her serious look.

Esther finished writing the last few notes and solemnly put the notebook in her pocket: "Dear, it seems that you don't know how painful it is to extract teeth. I think it is absolutely necessary for you to stay in the clinic for an afternoon."

"It sounds like you've pulled it out."

"Well... I just had a toothache once. The innermost one was pulled out by someone else when I went to the dentist, and it scared me away."

"You have a toothache?" Mrs. Granger put in.

Esther suddenly had a bad premonition. She scolded herself in her heart for the lies she had made up, and quickly defended: "Once...it was just once..."

Obviously this sentence did not have the intended use. It was during the free time at noon. As Marn couldn't help but laugh softly, Esther was pulled into the dental chair by the enthusiastic Mrs. Granger. And Mr. Granger went to prepare things...

When Esther was pressed on the chair by them, she really looked like Harry and Ron who were being tutored by Hermione, with confusion in their eyes.

Fortunately, the results of the examination were good. Esther's teeth were very healthy, much healthier than those of children their age who loved to eat sweets.

This is not surprising to Marn. Although Esther has a sweet tooth, she has always been very restrained.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, the clinic gradually became busy, and the Grangers didn't have much time to entertain them. They took Hermione to the British headquarters of an organization disguised as a store opposite.

"Hermione, I think you should bring your wand, right?" Marne said.

"Of course! But...are you sure nothing will go wrong?"

He pointed downstairs: "How many wizards do you think live on the two floors below?"

"is it a lot?"

"There are more than 100 people living here steadily, and more than 60 people live here occasionally. The number of residents can be maintained at about [-] to [-] people every day."

Hermione looked around, "This place... doesn't look that big..."

"We are wizards... In fact, except for this floor and the two floors below where the shops are located, every other floor has been casted with the Traceless Stretching Charm."

"...I forgot."

Hermione and Esther spent the entire afternoon learning magic from Marne, and it wasn't until 05:30 that Hermione said goodbye to them.

Walder only stayed here for one day and went out after saying hello to them this morning.

Sitting on the sofa, watching the eight cats running back and forth on the empty floor, Ma En couldn't help but complain to Esther: "I really don't know the meaning of our holiday, at least in school There is also a black lake guarding the door, you can go fishing there if you are really bored."

Esther turned sideways and lay on his lap, thought for a while and said, "If you are really bored, you can go to the 37th floor."

"37? What does that do?"

"It's the magic workshop in charge of Mr. Weasley." She looked at Marn's chin, a little helpless, "Didn't you remember what Miss Tracy introduced on each floor?"

"I still remember a little bit."

"what?"

"People live on the 32th to [-]nd floors and eat upstairs."

"..."

"Speaking of it, the magic workshop..." Ma En gently caressed Esther's face with his fingers, "I really want to change something. I wonder if Arthur has time."
