"Pfft!" Hermione laughed out loud, "Play with other people's wands, and you won't be afraid of breaking them!"

The wand is the wizard's second life, who dares to give the wand to the children without any problems?

Kate shrugged innocently: "You can't blame me, the housekeeper gave it to me voluntarily, and let me play with it!"

At that time, she never thought that she would enter the wizarding world, so why did she let go of the opportunity to get in touch with the magic wand?

"Well, I thought you had some Asian relatives in your family." Qiu Zhang said helplessly, shaking his head.

Asian relatives?

Kate touched her chin thoughtfully. There is no such thing as an Asian-American marriage on the Safik family side, but not necessarily on her mother's side.

She had this thought because some broken fragments flashed through her mind after hearing what Qiu Zhang said.

In those fragmentary memories, as a child, I was once hugged by a man who looked a little bit Asian.

But such a fragment of memory, she had never thought of before.

Probably not important, so even I forgot about it.

"Who knows," Kate shrugged, "maybe one of my ancestors actually lived with Asians."

As she said, when she stretched out her chopsticks, they just touched Qiu Zhang's chopsticks.

Kate was stunned for a moment, and when she twisted her wrist, she made a bend, picked up the noodles and put them in her bowl, and smiled at her triumphantly: "It seems that I am more flexible than you."

"You..." Qiu Zhang smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, anyway, tomorrow is your birthday, so you can do whatever you want."

"hey-hey!"

The two laughed as if no one was there, Luna silently swallowed a mouthful of noodles, then looked up at Hermione's face who was sitting directly opposite her.

Oh, it's almost the same as the blackened pot bottom of sister Qiu Zhang.

She coughed quickly and said softly, "It's almost 12 o'clock."

Kate looked up at the clock on the wall, and sure enough, the next day was less than 10 minutes away.

In fact, she was born on the junction of the 26th and 27th, so it doesn't matter which day her birthday is, but for convenience, she recorded it on December 12th.

"Then clean up quickly," Qiu Zhang hurriedly cleaned up the crucible that had been eaten to the bottom with a spell, and put the other dishes together and carried them to the balcony.

Hermione also said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't order a cake here, otherwise we could at least blow out the candles."

"It doesn't matter if there is cake or not?" Kate smiled cheerfully, "I've already eaten longevity noodles, and now you are with me, isn't it great?"

Luna's eyes flickered slightly, she took out her wand from her pocket, and said softly, "Luminescence flickers."

Instantly the tip of the wand lit up.

"Yes, we can use the wand as a candle," Hermione immediately understood what she meant, and happily took out the wand. "After Kate makes a wish, we will turn off the fluorescent light at the same time!"

Two wands lit up, illuminating where they were.

Soon, Qiu Zhang also came back after cleaning up the pots and pans. Seeing that everyone was waiting for her, she quickly sat down and took out her magic wand.

The three wands lit up, and Kate didn't know whether to laugh or be moved, "It's a little too bright."

"It's not bright enough!" Hermione held up her wand, her eyes glowed with fluorescence, "Kate, light up your wand quickly, it's less than a minute before 12 o'clock!"

The second hand on the dial is still turning conscientiously, and the three hands that are about to overlap indicate that the next day is coming.

Kate looked at the little faces of the three people illuminated by fluorescent light, chuckled lightly, and then raised her wand.

The fourth wand lit up, and the time reached 0 o'clock the next day.

She closed her eyes and murmured her wish in her mind, then opened them again and blew hard through all the wands.

All the light in the room went out at once, leaving only four girls who were still in the dark.

After a while, Luna's moon night light automatically rose and floated above her head, illuminating her position.

When they saw each other's face clearly again, the four of them immediately burst into laughter.

"Happy birthday, Kate!" Hermione was the first to stand up and hugged her tightly.

"Hey... don't you feel a little tight?" Kate opened her arms helplessly and reminded her in a low voice.

But Hermione didn't care so much, she held her stubbornly and refused to let go.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Qiu Zhang's face was visibly restrained, but he still said sincerely: "Happy 14th birthday, Kate."

"Senior Kate, happy birthday." Luna also stood on tiptoe, trying to make herself feel present.

"Thank you." Kate was hugged by Hermione, and could only stretch out her hands with difficulty, one patted her shoulder and the other touched her head.

Then, she managed to pull Hermione away: "Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep!"

"I'm going to take a shower!"

"I am coming too!"

Hermione and Luna entered the bathroom one after another, Qiu Zhang touched his nose in embarrassment, and went to the balcony with the excuse that there were still things that hadn't been washed.

Huh... 14 years old.

Kate touched her stomach that was full again, and was about to go to bed when she heard a knock on the door.

He walked over to open the door and saw that there was no one there.

There is only a plastic box filled with five-pointed stars made of sugar wrappers.

There is also a note with "Happy birthday" written in delicate handwriting.

Candy wrappers...

She can probably guess who sent it.

……

After spending my birthday in a simple way, it was time to take the train back to school the next morning.

It's just that on this last morning, when Kate woke up, she saw a few things piled up next to her bed, and there was a small note in it.

"We'll go to the second floor to bring you food. If you wake up, you can open the gift first."

All these things are gifts.

Kate became interested immediately, and took apart the biggest one first, which turned out to be the Slytherin snakehead hat sewn by Luna.

The size is just right on the head, and the shape is quite domineering. It's the green color that always makes her have a bad association.

But on second thought, anyway, she is not yet the age to fall in love, she has her own national conditions, so why bother to stick to color?

She accepted it happily, and then disassembled two pieces at once.

Very good, a pair of rhino horn chopsticks and a magic quill, very characteristic of the gift giver.

Especially this pair of chopsticks, the texture can catch up with her magic wand, next time you cook noodles in the dormitory, you can try it.

Putting away the presents quickly, Kate finished washing, and when she came out, she saw that Hermione and the others had brought a breakfast.

Soon, after breakfast, they packed their luggage for another half an hour before they went downstairs with their big and small bags.

At that time, there were already a bunch of students waiting downstairs, and the prefects struggled to maintain order, but the entire hotel lobby was still noisy.

"It seems that everyone is quite satisfied with this study tour." Kate squeezed in while listening to the crowd's various thoughts on this event.

It's just that next time, we still have to limit the number of people a little bit and raise the threshold for participating in the event.

For example, only students above the third grade and below the sixth grade can participate in the Christmas study tour, which can greatly reduce the pressure on all parties.

During this event, the various stores of Safik's family have made a lot of money, but in contrast, the daily passenger flow pressure of the store is also huge.

Even the Aurors who usually stayed at the hotel looked much older.

Not to mention the professors in charge of leading the team, except for Snape who looked as imposing as ever, the others were as tired as eggplants beaten by frost.

Even Lockhart's exuberant narcissist went a few days without boasting.

Of course, the main reason for this is that the amount of incompetence he exposed during this study tour was outrageous. Even the little witches who were once bewildered by him were shocked by reality and regained their sobriety.

Kate thought that even if he didn't lose his reputation, he probably wouldn't be able to stay at Hogwarts next year.

A group of people managed to get on the subway to the station, and passed through the wall one by one. It was almost noon when they got on the train.

The four of them sat together, ate a pre-prepared lunch, discussed their homework for a while, and then fell asleep tiredly.

No matter how happy you are during the trip, you will always be exhausted on the way back.

Until the evening, when the train arrived at the school, Kate sat in the car pulled by thestrals, looking at the brightly lit Hogwarts Castle from a distance, which had been waiting for them for a long time, and felt that the castle seemed a little different.

Lao Deng wouldn't really renovate the castle, would he?

With some doubts, they finally entered the auditorium, and saw that the Christmas decorations on the ceiling had been removed before leaving the school, and there was only a bright and quiet night sky.

During the study tour, they can get along well with each other in different colleges, but once they come back here, everyone will consciously return to their respective colleges and sit down at the long table.

"Everyone," Dumbledore walked to the front of the stage and tapped the cup lightly, making the entire auditorium instantly quiet, "First of all, welcome back from your vacation.

As you can see, during the Christmas period, Hogwarts carried out simple repairs and improvements, and please take good care of our school. "

As Dumbledore said, his blue eyes swept across the radish heads in relief, and his gaze stayed on Kate for a while.

"After dinner, please lead the students of this academy back to their lounges. Tomorrow is the last day of the Christmas holiday. Please rest well and prepare for classes after the holiday."

After speaking, he knocked on the cup, and a variety of food appeared on the long tables of various colleges.

The students cheered and began to feast on the food, talking and laughing.

Kate glanced at Dumbledore on the stage, and narrowed her eyes as if aware of it.

After dinner, Kate went back to the dormitory as soon as the little snakes returned to the lounge. After searching around, she found the pompom sleeping soundly in the corner of the room.

The little guy had gained a lot of weight throughout the bird, and it looked like he had been fed too much bird food by Hagrid.

"Really, if this continues, I'll have to make you lose weight." Carefully putting it back into the cage, Kate murmured helplessly to herself.

The dodo itself can't fly, and it relies on its own teleportation ability to escape. If it is too fat, it will only affect its escape speed in the future.

Next time she gets up early for a morning run, she might as well take it with her.

The sleeping pom-pom didn't realize at all that its owner had made a cruel decision for the immature bird.

After settling the pompom, Kate took out her wand and tapped it on the wall twice.

After a while, a golden thread passed through the wall and was lightly wrapped around her fingertips.

Oh, it was odd that Dumbledore hadn't removed the gold thread she'd put in the wall.

To be honest, Kate felt that Lao Deng was a bit too kind to her. Even if she never doubted her because of her background, there is no need to accommodate her in so many things, right?

Even for Harry in the original book, Dumbledore faced him as a guide, not as a collaborator when facing her.

And it's not so much a cooperation, it's better to say that he is cooperating with himself, whether it's dealing with the diary or facing the basilisk.

Even with the support of the old housekeeper, the majestic White Demon King wouldn't do this to her, an underage brat, would he?

Not because of the old housekeeper, not because of the Safiq family, then it can only be because of her.

Could it be that Lao Deng liked her ability and planned to let her be Harry's deputy, so he had been investigating her?

It sounds reasonable, but only Dumbledore knows what is actually going on.

In any case, it is always a good feeling to be trusted, as long as Lao Deng is not prepared to let her die like he did to Harry, nothing else matters.

Yawning, she let go of the gold thread casually, Kate shook her head wearily a few times, and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It's better to go to bed early, starting from tomorrow, she will return to the state of the scroll king again.

Chapter 46 Valentine's Confession

After Christmas, everything returned to calm, calm to and from school, peaceful exercise, calm liver magic.

Because of the Christmas holiday, Kate didn't exercise much for more than ten days, so she didn't get the new five attribute points until early February.

There are only 4 months left until the summer vacation, but she is still 22 points away from the target attribute value she set, which gave her a sense of urgency again.

So every morning, if there is an early riser, you can see her running wildly on the Quidditch field with a pompom.

It is also possible to increase attribute points through exercise, but it takes high-intensity and long-term exercise to break through, so she has been trying to break through herself physically throughout January.

In the end, the agility and strength values ​​were increased by 1 point as expected, but the pompom was brought by her, and a good free-range chicken was also trained to lose a lot of weight.
