The Patriarch's younger sister, and the Patriarch's daughter...

The bracelet my niece made for my aunt.

Kate immediately understood the relationship between the two, "Then its function is..."

"Regulate your own body temperature, at least it won't make the little master feel so cold again. I didn't take it out because the little master was too young."

『-empty.white|~small.say.group/-』-.6~~9.8 9_|2 _5/-8/5.

|| Such a fresh and refined effect, completely different from the alchemy props in her novels that can destroy the world at every turn.

But just such a simple prop can make Kate look like a normal person in winter.

"Okay, I like this bracelet very much!" She nodded happily, and put it on carefully after getting permission from the old housekeeper.

[Wearing the alchemy "Valentine's Chain"]

[Lovers Chain: Created by Ariel Shafik for her lover, it carries the strong love of the alchemist himself. 】

[When wearing this item, the host's luck value +5]

[Trigger family task 2: Find other alchemy items that match the lover chain 0/5]

The joyful mood when I got a new toy was suddenly complicated by the sound of the system.

The smile on Kate's face gradually stiffened, and she glanced at the bracelet on her wrist strangely.

"What's the matter, isn't it suitable?" The old housekeeper asked with concern when he saw her expression was different.

She shook her head quickly: "No! It's just that the surroundings are warmed up all of a sudden, and it's just amazing!"

Isn't it amazing?

Accidentally discovered the gossip about her ancestors, Kate didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

If she heard correctly just now, this bracelet was clearly made by her niece for her aunt, right?

dear!There is a blood relationship!

How did you become a lover!

For the first time, she began to doubt the accuracy of the system.

"Hey! Grandpa, then I'll go on to the library to help Hermione prepare presents."

She coughed lightly, calling out the essence, and put it on its shoulder, and transformed into the library.

Kate took a deep breath, quickly pushed the door open, and asked in a low voice as she walked, "Isn't this family task to be completed immediately?"

[The family mission is valid for a long time. 】

That's good.

The old butler didn't even take her with him when he took the lover's chain, which meant that the alchemy props deep in the collection room were still dangerous to her.

For the things inside, even if she asked for it, the old housekeeper would probably not agree to it for her safety.

That being the case, it is even more dangerous for her to go in and look for it alone.

Although she is looking forward to completing the new family tasks, and listening to the gossip of the ancestors by the way.

But the future is long, and when she grows older, there will be plenty of opportunities to go in, so there is no need to take risks now.

As for the alchemy props left by Ariel's ancestor, let them sleep temporarily.

In this way, Kate has been preparing gifts for friends.

She bought Harry a new Nimbus 2000, as an apology for destroying his broom because she and Quirrell fought magic.

What was given to Ron was a brand new set of wizard chess. It is said that it was carefully crafted by an expensive craftsman. Kate didn't know how precious it was, so she just bought it and gave it away.

As for Cho Chang, she originally wanted to send a broom, but it collided with Harry's gift, so instead she sent a set of broom care supplies and a handwritten letter inviting her to come to the house for the summer vacation.

In addition, suitable gifts were given to each professor according to their subjects.

Except for Dumbledore, oh, he only deserves a big bag of candy!

The above gifts can be bought with money, and there is nothing special except that she used snacks when choosing them.

Only Hermione's gift, which she had hand-copied all day for the solution to spells, was waiting to be given to her on Christmas Day.

Kate thought that Hermione must have been anxious and uncomfortable during the two days she lay in the hospital, but she still had to stay in class and write notes for herself.

Although she couldn't understand Hermione's psychological feelings, the sore hands after a day of copying could help her feel the pain of Hermione's copying notes.

On Christmas Eve, she stayed in the room for most of the day, and by the time all the presents were wrapped and sent out, it was almost evening.

Kate yawned and was about to go out for dinner, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw a familiar brown-haired kitten squatting at the door.

Ok?It's not like an illusion!

She quickly pulled him up, "Hermione, why are you here today?"

If her mind wasn't dizzy, it seemed that the time they agreed to meet was Christmas night, right?

"My mom and dad booked a trip to Hawaii, so Grandpa Jones sent me here!"

Hermione grinned, and just about to take a step, her body fell into her arms uncontrollably.

Kate was startled, and quickly picked him up: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay... just now, my legs seemed to be numb." Hermione explained in an embarrassed voice with her head buried in her arms.

Is this really the little witch with the best grades in the whole grade?

Why don't you look so smart?

Kate was helpless for a while, and then let go of her, and lightly pinched her face: "How long have you been squatting? Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"Hey, it's only 10 minutes, because Grandpa Jones said that you are preparing gifts..."

As she spoke, she kept looking into the bedroom, "Is there any gift for me? Can I see it now?"

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

Kate frowned pretending to be annoyed: "Didn't the train give you a chocolate frog? That's a gift!"

"How can this be done!" Hermione puffed up her face in dissatisfaction when she heard it, "I prepared it for you—"

Realizing that she was about to slip up, she quickly covered her mouth.

"Oh? What gift did you prepare for me?" Kate raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately, "Aren't you going to give it to me?"

Hermione bounced away from her: "No! The gift won't make sense until Christmas!"

After finishing speaking, he made a funny face at her and ran briskly all the way into the restaurant.

Author's Note: This chapter is 3K, so there are only two chapters today

Chapter 67 Christmas and Birthdays

Obviously his legs were numb just now, but now he is running so fast.

Kate laughed for a while, and could only follow her briskly, saying hello to the portraits of her ancestors in the corridor.

Like most British households, the dining room has been filled with roast pigs, turkey, Christmas pudding, and a variety of other dishes.

Hermione, who had seen the classic Hogwarts Poon Choi, couldn't help but be amazed.

"Kate, all the presents left in house No. 445 have been brought and put in the study. You can slowly unwrap the presents after dinner."

After the old butler finished speaking, he left thoughtfully, leaving a separate space for the two of them.

But for children, of course eating is more important!

Seeing Hermione eagerly cut up a piece of roasted pig and began to suck it in a gust of wind, Kate couldn't help but think of how reserved little Hermione was when she first came to her house.

A small brown hair ball grew up in proportion like this, and even the facial features haven't changed much.

After careful calculation, they have known each other for nearly five years.

How time flies.

She looked at Xiao Qingmei who was rubbed with greasy mouth, took out a piece of paper and handed it over, and asked nonchalantly, "How long are you going to stay here?"

"My parents said they would come back after Christmas." Hermione took the tissue and wiped her face, feeling a little sad for a moment.

In the past, she used to travel with her parents every Christmas, but at that time she was always looking forward to spending a holiday with Kate.

There is a chance now, but she misses her parents a little bit.

Of course, such missing will naturally not tell Kate, she knows that Kate's parents are both dead, and she will not touch other people's wounds stupidly like Ron.

"That's it," Kate murmured, looking at the turkey leg in front of her eyes, and unconsciously poking it with a fork, "I mean... um..."

Hermione noticed her hesitation, "What's the matter? Don't you want me to spend Christmas with you here?"

"Ah?" Kate raised her head, "I, I didn't mean that!"

She was still thinking about how to tell Hermione about her birthday.

In the past, the other party always traveled on Christmas, so I never knew when her birthday was.

It's just that it's rare to spend a birthday together now...

Anyway, it's her 11th year in this world!

"I just wanted to say," she scratched her face in embarrassment, "after Christmas, can you stay for another day, or half a day."

Hermione frowned strangely: "Why? We're going back to school on the third day after Christmas."

"If I say it's my birthday, can you stay?" Kate looked at her eagerly.

The atmosphere in the room became quiet.

Hermione's eyes widened.

Kate looked at her inexplicably, not knowing what she said wrong just now.

After a while, she was about to speak when she saw Hermione get up quickly and rush up to hug her.

"I didn't know!" said Hermione excitedly. "I've known you for so long that I didn't know your birthday was the day after Christmas!"

Kate was so hugged by her that she almost couldn't breathe, and finally broke away from her, "So, are you willing to stay with me for my birthday?"

"Of course!" Hermione nodded earnestly, her beautiful eyes glowed with joy, "I will definitely spend your 13th birthday with you!"

"Not only that, but when you are 23 years old, 33 years old, and until 203 years old, I will spend it with you!"

Kate couldn't help laughing out of a promise full of childishness: "I was 203 years old, my teeth fell out at that time, right?"

"It doesn't affect the cake if you don't have teeth!" Hermione responded happily. "

Kate thought about it seriously, and rolled her eyes: "Okay, we will celebrate our birthday together every year from now on."

Hermione stubbornly stretched out her little finger, and hooked her finger in Kate's half-smile eyes.

After doing this childish move, she couldn't help but cut off Kate's words: "Don't call me childish!"

"Cough!" Kate suppressed a smile and coughed lightly, "I didn't say that, but the food is getting cold, do you really want to stop eating?"

Only then did Hermione come to her senses, she lay down from her arms with a flushed face, and sat back in her seat, sucking in the wind like a kitten eating cat food.

After finally eliminating most of the dishes on the table, Hermione burped while covering her stomach.

"Okay, I'll take you to the guest room downstairs, you can choose one." Kate reached out and rubbed her belly, then pulled her up.

Hermione was taken aback: "Guest room?"

"Well, there are dozens of guest rooms in my house, you can choose whatever you want!" Kate nodded generously.

"...Oh, okay." For some reason, the little cat who had just finished eating suddenly lost his mind, but could only obediently follow Kate and move slowly.

In the end, Hermione still chose the room directly below the master bedroom in the castle. Except for some decorations, it was almost the same as Kate's room.

Then, Kate took her to stroll around the manor for more than an hour, right after a meal to digest.

When passing by the vegetable fields cultivated by the elves with magic, Hermione, who has always been studious, asked her a few methods about vegetable cultivation.

So the good walking and digesting activities were played by these two people into Kate's small classroom.

It's just that this kind of teaching ended soon after Hermione squeezed out what little planting knowledge Kate had.

The two simply sat on the edge of the field, looking at the vigorously growing plants relying on each other.
