Kate replied calmly, then grabbed a handbag from her pocket, and put Hermione's wizard costume in it.

"Hold this, it won't be so hard."

Saying that, ignoring Hermione's amazed expression, he grabbed her hand and walked towards Ollivander's Wand Shop at the end of Diagon Alley.

"This is a wand shop, go in by yourself, and Ollivander will pick out a suitable wand for you."

Just like the old butler last year, Kate sat on a bench outside the shop, patiently waiting for Hermione and her new wand to come out.

There are still a lot of things to buy next, and the whole day today will probably be spent in Diagon Alley.

Can I only go back to Safik Manor tomorrow...

While Kate was still frowning and thinking, a familiar surprised voice came from above her head: "It's you, long time no see!"

And Hermione, who was in the wand shop, turned her head as if feeling something, and a firework exploded from the tip of the wand in her hand.

Chapter 4 What is Shameland?

The sun was so good that day, so dazzling that when Kate raised her head, she couldn't see the face of the person for a moment.

It wasn't until a moment later, when her eyes adjusted to the strong light, that Kate could see clearly that standing in front of her was an astonishingly beautiful girl.

The classic Asian face, the delicate and delicate facial features are full of aura, coupled with the long hair like a waterfall, it is even more beautiful.

"Qiu Zhang?" She stood up and found the face that matched the person in front of her from her memory.

Only one year had passed, and the enthusiastic Hogwarts freshman that day already had the shadow of the goddess described in the original book.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Qiu Zhang looked at her with bright eyes, "I'm so happy, you still remember me."

The characters in the original novel are still pretty, so it’s hard not to remember them.

Kate touched her nose guiltily, "I...I brought my neighbor's sister to buy a wand, how about you?"

"I knocked my wand, so I came today to ask Ollivander if it's okay."

As soon as Qiu Zhang finished speaking, the door of the wand shop was pushed open from the inside.

"Kate, I also have a wand, which is said to be made of vine wood!" Hermione took the wand in her hand and naturally put her arm around her.

Compared with the two 12-year-old girls who were also taller than their peers, Hermione seemed a little shorter.

Standing next to the two of them was like a little sister who got a new toy.

Kate habitually wanted to touch her hair, and found that this action seemed a little awkward when Hermione was holding her arm, so she temporarily diverted and scratched her nose.

"It's fine if you like it, remember to take good care of the wand, look at senior sister Qiu Zhang, if the wand is even slightly damaged, come to Ollivander to have a look."

Hermione turned her head and grinned at Qiu Zhang: "Hello, senior! My name is Hermione, and I'm a freshman at Hogwarts!"

"You and your sister have such a good relationship." Qiu Zhang said sincerely when he saw how close they were.

Unexpectedly, when Hermione heard this, her face became a little weird, she raised her head and asked in confusion, "Do we look like sisters?"

"Not quite." Kate touched her chin solemnly.

She originally wanted to add the following sentence "You look cuter than me" to liven up the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Hermione turned her head to look at Qiu Zhang: "I also think that Kate and I are not sisters in the first place."

Well, I don't call her sister anymore in front of outsiders.

I don't know who followed her all day long and called her sister one by one.

Kate reckoned that the little girl also has self-esteem, so she didn't refute her, and instead smiled at Qiu Zhang.

"We still have something to buy, see you at Hogwarts in September."

Qiu Zhang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Hogwarts? Are you going to school?"

"Well, the body is almost taken care of, and if you don't go to school, it will be useless." Kate blinked at her, and then left under Hermione's whispered urging.

Together, the two bought textbooks at the Lihen Bookstore, and bought other items on the list at the Crucible Store.

"Hermione, do you really not want pets?" Kate asked thoughtfully as she walked out of the cauldron shop, looking at the last item on the list.

She didn't buy a pet because Newt gave her the most obedient pet before she left.

But for some reason, Hermione's face has always looked strange since she came out of the wand shop.

Even when she was in the bookstore, Kate gave her a lot of extra-curricular books to satisfy her thirst for knowledge, but I didn't see how happy she was.

"No need, Kate, didn't you say that there are many owls in the house, and I can just borrow yours when the time comes."

Hermione clutched her wand and replied sullenly.

Weird.

She had never seen Hermione like this before.

If the Grangers saw themselves leading their daughter back with a sullen face, they didn't know how worried they would be.

She simply squatted on the ground, looked up at the unhappy little lion, "Hermione, tell sister, what's wrong with you?"

Hermione's little head was lowered, and the little hand holding the wand was rubbing the body of the wand uneasily.

After a long time, I heard her ask: "Why didn't Kate tell me that you didn't go to Hogwarts last year? Is it because of poor health?"

Eh?

Kate's expression was blank, and she scratched her face in embarrassment: "This..."

"Why are you willing to tell Senior Sister Qiuzhang, but why are you unwilling to tell me?" Hermione continued to ask persistently.

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Kate's forehead.

She could only feel in her heart that today's weather is indeed a bit hot, and helplessly raised her hand to wipe her sweat.

Kate smiled tangledly: "Because... I know you care about me the most, so if I tell you about my bad health, wouldn't that make you worry for nothing?"

"Really?" Hermione's eyes lit up.

So it's not that Kate doesn't get close to her, but that she's worried about her?

"Yeah!" Kate nodded firmly.

How can you not tell a little lie about this kind of thing?

Seeing Hermione's pale face, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the other party ask: "Then why did you tell Senior Sister Qiu Zhang? Are you on good terms with her?"

"I've only met her once, and I mentioned this incident unintentionally." This is really unacceptable.

Hermione's face changed from cloudy to sunny, "Then you will be in the same class as me in the future, and I won't call you sister Kate!"

You've called me by your first name several times.

Kate slandered in her heart, but there was still a helpless smile on her face, "It's up to you."

As he spoke, he reached out to search her head, but Hermione nimbly dodged it.

"Don't touch my head anymore!"

Hermione stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms hard, "I still need to grow taller, you keep touching my head, it will make me not grow taller!"

Who taught these theories?

Just as Kate wanted to complain, she suddenly remembered that the well-known superstitious saying that touching the head will not grow tall, seems to be the only one that can teach Hermione.

Touching her nose in embarrassment, Kate wisely chooses to bypass the point.

"Okay, we should go back, your parents are still waiting for us at the Leaky Cauldron."

He took Hermione's hand and stepped out of Diagon Alley, and when he returned to the bar, he saw Mr. Granger holding a glass, drinking with a man wearing a purple turban.

"Yes! To that wonderful magic—"

Seeing Mr. Granger who finished drinking a large glass of beer with his head up, Hermione rushed over and hugged him: "Dad!"

"Oh! My little angel is back!"

Mr. Granger put down his wine glass with a smile, and said to the young man in the purple turban in front of him, "I should go home! Next time we won't go home until we're drunk!"

"Really, I told you to drink less..."

Mrs. Granger also got up from the side seat, nodded to the enthusiastic wizards in the bar, and helped her husband leave the bar with her daughter.

And Kate also followed them, and when passing by the young man in the purple turban, she looked back as if nothing.

Chapter 5 Safik Manor

Stepping out of the Leaky Cauldron, the warm sun shone on her body, making Kate feel like she had returned to the world from hell.

Quirrell, the young man in the purple turban who toasted with Mr. Granger just now, is the teacher of the new year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts.

Unbeknownst to all, beneath the back of his head, wrapped in a pungent thinking hood, was Voldemort's return.

Just now, just looking at Quirrell as a puppet, Kate had the illusion of falling into an ice cellar.

Although in the original book, he starts out as a stuttering, seemingly cowardly and harmless youth.

By the end of the first year, he was once again a puppet possessed by Voldemort.

But Kate had checked his information in advance, and he was able to be spotted by the lingering Voldemort. This person's own strength is also no small matter.

Otherwise Hogwarts wouldn't have hired such a young man to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The reason why Harry Potter solved it so easily later was only because after being possessed by Voldemort, he was also affected by the protective spell on Harry.

But that is the treatment only the protagonist can enjoy.

She didn't have a protective spell against Voldemort, so she had to keep an eye on Quirrell's movements.

Kate was sure that she hadn't attracted the attention of Quirrell and Voldemort behind him just now.

It's just that after such a hasty meeting, the next time we meet at Hogwarts, it's not necessarily the case.

Not far away, Mrs. Granger had just helped her husband into the car, and she smiled at her as soon as she turned her head: "Kate, get in the car, we should go home."

Go home, she really should go home.

Kate took two steps forward and bowed slightly to Mrs. Granger: "Auntie, you go first, the housekeeper will come to pick me up."

Hermione, who wanted to get in the car and wait for her, immediately ran out of the car when she heard this: "Kate, won't you go home with me?"

Kate turned her head, "Hermione, my home is in the wizarding world. I haven't been back for a long time, and it's time to visit now."

"But……"

Hermione was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Granger: "In that case, then we won't send you off. You stay safe alone."

With that said, he pulled Hermione into the car together.

Kate stood where she was, watching them drive away, then looked back at the Leaky Cauldron behind her, her eyes darkened.

Turning around and turning to a remote alley, he took out an iron block that was wrapped in coarse cloth and exuded light blue light from his purse.

It was the portkey the teacher had given her when she left Scamander's house.

Kate took a deep breath and put one hand on it. In an instant, she felt her feet were off the ground and flew forward like a gust of wind.

When I can get my feet on the ground again, my position will change from a dilapidated back alley in London to a shady long road covered with greenery.

Kate was looking around when an excited voice suddenly appeared beside her: "Excuse me, is it the little master!"

She turned around, only to find a ragged house elf quietly appearing beside her.

"I'm Kate Safik." She gave her first name.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the elf in front of me jump up excitedly: "Great! It's the little master! The master of Safik Manor is finally back!"

Although he already knew something about the magical creatures like house elves, when he really heard the other party's shrill and noisy voice.

Kate still felt that her eardrums were a little bit overwhelmed.

"Okay, please stop! Stop your screaming!" she ordered immediately.

The little elf in front of him really calmed down, his ears were drooping, and his big eyes were still staring at her intently.

Kate secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked softly, "Tell me first, what's your name?"
