A few days after the events at the fair, Ed returns to Tony's ocean-view mansion, which has been restored.

Ed was sitting in the living room, watching the Tony and Rhodes awards ceremony on TV.

A politician who had smeared Tony was praising Tony as a "national treasure" with a smile on his face. Ed really admired his shamelessness.

"Ed, come out and help." Just as Ed was watching with interest, Pepper's voice came from the door.

Ed walked to the door and saw Pepper directing Happy to move boxes one by one, "Move this, this, and that in first."

Happy lifted three boxes and the boxes were piled higher than his head. Ed was about to take out his wand and cast a levitating spell.

Happy said quickly, "No, no, no, Ed, I can do it." Yes, Happy was told about magic.

Ed stopped what he was doing and watched him tremblingly walk into the villa. There were many boxes on the ground. It would probably take a while to move them like Happy did.

Pepper asked "Ed, can you make all these boxes fly?"

Ed nodded "It's easy."

Ed waved his wand, and the box on the ground took off smoothly and floated behind Ed.

At this time, Happy opened the door and said breathlessly, "I've finished moving, and..." Seeing a pile of boxes behind Ed, he swallowed the rest of his words.

The atmosphere was a little tense, and Pepper said, "Happy, you've been a big help."

Happy smiled awkwardly and helped Ed open the door.

A few minutes later, a pile of boxes were neatly placed in the hall. These boxes were all Pepper's personal belongings.

As for why they moved here, because after the expo, a lot of things seemed to happen to Tony and Pepper, and Pepper decided to move here.

After putting everything away, Pepper looked at her watch, "Happy, let's go, it's time."

"Okay, Miss Potts, I'm going to start the car." Happy walked out.

"Ed, you're home alone, don't run around." Pepper also went out.

Bang - the sound of the door closing, Ed looked at the huge villa with an indescribable irritation.

He wandered around the villa unconsciously. He walked to the balcony and looked at the majestic waves of the sea. From time to time, he heard the cry of seagulls.

The scenery that originally looked beautiful now made Ed frown, and he wanted to find someone to talk to.

Thinking of this, he used the flying spell to summon the magic book, "Please let me see Professor Dumbledore."

Eddard had a hunch that Professor Dumbledore was the only professor he could meet whenever he wanted, at least for now.

………………

Ed opened his eyes, and the wise old man stood in front of him.

"Professor Dumbledore." Ed said excitedly.

The old man nodded kindly, "Long time no see, little Ed."

"Professor, thank you for the materials you provided last time. It was of great help." Ed said gratefully.

The old man waved his hand, "You're welcome, little Ed. After all, every filial child deserves support."

Then the old man looked at the seemingly normal Ed and said, "It seems that there is a little wizard who is not very happy."

"So, little Ed, have you encountered anything troublesome?" the old man asked with a smile.

Ed touched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "Professor, you can see it."

"That's right, Professor, I've been a little irritable lately."

"Dad, Pepper and Happy are too busy and often away from home."

"Aunt May is far away in New York. I'm embarrassed to let her travel so far."

"Six months ago, I transferred to another school, so I don't have any familiar classmates."

"Also, at school..."

Ed talked more and more enthusiastically, and in the end, he completely forgot that Professor Dumbledore was here.

The old man smiled and listened the whole time. He did not ask Ed who the people he was talking about were, but only occasionally nodded in agreement.

"Then I punched Ned's bully to the ground."

"After that, they never came to bully Ned again."

"Well, I don't know how Ned is doing now."

Ed finally came to his senses at this time, "Sorry, Professor, I was a little too involved."

The old man still smiled and said, "It's okay, Ed. Listening quietly is an ability that a qualified listener must possess."

"Ed, how long has it been since you communicated with your classmates?" the old man said suddenly

The old man's words stunned Ed. Yes, it had been a long time since he had chatted with his classmates.

Because of the transfer, most of the friends I had had lost contact, and because of magic, I didn't make serious friends at my current school.

"Family, love, friendship."

"Three emotions run through a person's life. The first one, you have already tasted it."

"The second one is still too early for you now."

"For you, the third most important thing now is seriously lacking." The old man said slowly.

"Then what should I do? Professor."

"Put down your wand and do whatever you want except learn magic."

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, he was about to go out.

"Wait, Ed." The old man said helplessly.

"Aren't you going to chat with me, a lonely old man?"

"Oh, sorry, Professor." Ed said awkwardly.

The old man didn't pay attention, smiled and continued, "Then I'd better tell you a story."

"This story is also my own story." The old man's eyes became deep.

“My mother sadly passed away while I was still in school.”

"On my way home, I met a man."

"His name is Grindelwald."

………………

Back in the present, Ed is still thinking about Dumbledore's story.

He longed for the relationship among close friends that the old man said. Thinking back to when he was still in New York, Ed knew many of his classmates.

But Ned seemed to be the only one who was truly a friend.

He wanted to go back to New York. He wanted to see if Ned would be bullied after he left. He wanted to see Aunt May and the brother he hadn't seen for a long time.

More importantly, he missed his mother.

Suddenly, a sound broke through the air in the distance.

Tony entered his studio wearing a steel suit.

Ed saw it and ran downstairs quickly. When Ed got downstairs, he saw that Tony had taken off his steel suit.

Seeing Ed, Tony had a keen sense that something was wrong: "Ed, are you the only one at home?"

"I brought you a gift, where is Pepper?"

"By the way, Ed, how long has it been since you went to school?"

"Won't your teacher tell you?"

Ed wanted to say where Pepper went, but when he heard the last sentence, Ed was instantly horrified, "Dad, didn't you ask for leave for me!?"

Tony laughed "Just kidding, of course I asked for leave."

Ed felt relieved and curled his lips and said, "This joke is not funny at all. Pepper went to work."

Tony stopped laughing "Sorry, Ed, could you be happier?"

Looking at Ed's "How do you know" expression, Tony added, "You are my son, how could I not know."

"So, what happened?"

Ed raised his head and looked into Tony's eyes and said seriously

"Dad, I want to go back to New York."
