Seeing the back of her leaving slowly, Hermione turned her head, picked up a piece of watermelon and gnawed two mouthfuls: "Hmm... so sweet!"

"Eat slowly, there are still a lot." Qiu Zhang shook his head and smiled, and sat on the straw mat with him, curiously picking up the book at hand and flipping through a few pages.

"The above skills are difficult for many adult wizards to learn. I didn't expect Kate's magical attainments to be so deep."

Upon hearing this, Hermione's speed of eating melons slowed down a lot, and she looked up at her hesitantly: "Do you understand?"

"I can understand [-] to [-] percent," Qiu Zhang casually flipped through the pages. "My father also knows a little bit of wandless magic. I have seen similar books in his study."

For some reason, the watermelon, which was so refreshingly sweet just now, suddenly became tasteless.

Hermione absently ate a whole piece of melon before wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

"At what level can I start learning wandless magic?" she asked in a low voice.

Qiu Zhang thought for a while and said, "It must be at least the level of fifth grade or above, but you know, even in the upper grades, there are students who fish in troubled waters. There is probably no hope for that kind of wizard."

Fifth grade...

Hermione couldn't help frowning.

During this period of time, she has rarely taken the initiative to think about the distance between herself and Kate, and she will not let Kate practice magic with her all day long.

Most of the time, the three of them have a great time together.

This is what Hermione wants to do after coming here. She wants Kate to have a better life and not feel pressured because of her.

But even so, Kate will still improve herself every now and then, and now she has begun to master such wandless magic.

This shows that even without her chasing behind, Kate will still not stop moving forward.

This made Hermione very puzzled.

If the reason for her hard work is to protect Kate, then why is Kate working so hard?

She glanced at the watermelon on the ground, suddenly thought of something, picked up a petal and stood up: "I'll give it to the professor!"

With that said, he trotted downstairs.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhang looked bewildered. If she remembered correctly, didn't Kate already deliver watermelons just now?

Not long after, Kate also came back after delivering the watermelons, and she was a little strange seeing Hermione not there.

"She said she was going to give watermelon to the professor." Qiu Zhang also looked puzzled, "Probably because she has something to ask the professor."

Kate let out an "oh", sat down again like an old man, picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it for a while.

After eating, he lay facelessly on the ground, belching his slightly bulging stomach.

"After dinner, let's go for a run." Without digesting it, she must have gained weight.

Qiu Zhang tugged at her skinny wrist a little amusedly, "You're so skinny, it doesn't matter if you eat a little more."

"No..." After eating and drinking, Kate lay on the mat, her eyelids soon began to droop, "It is best for children to follow the standard weight at each stage of growth, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Qiu Zhang couldn't hear what was behind her clearly, so he had to lower his head and put his ear close to her.

But Kate, who was already drowsy, muttered in a low voice: "Otherwise... no girls will like it in the future..."

In her previous life, she had been single for more than 20 years, so she was too thin and inconspicuous.

How pitiful, throughout my whole life, I never dared to say more than three words to the girl I had a crush on.

The warm breath is sprayed on the tip of the ear, transferring the temperature from the tip of the ear to the earlobe.

Qiu Zhang subconsciously touched his hot ears and sat up. He looked around for a while with a guilty conscience, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that no one saw it.

After a while, she dared to look at Kate who had fallen asleep again, and there was some joy in her bright eyes.

I don't know what she is happy about.

At the same time, Hermione, who ran upstairs to the study on the pretext of delivering melons, finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door.

At that time, Catherine was still bent over the desk, her expression was still a little tense.

As soon as he heard Hermione's voice, he raised his head, his rather mature face was a bit sharp because he didn't wear glasses.

"Kate has delivered it just now." She leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the nervous girl in front of her, squinted her eyes slightly, and didn't know what she found.

Hermione swallowed her saliva with difficulty, subconsciously puffed out her small chest when she noticed Catherine's probing gaze.

"Teach...professor, actually I..."

She hesitated for a moment, put the watermelon on the table first, and then stood up again, "Professor, if I want to learn magic faster and better, do you have any suggestions?"

Catherine raised her eyebrows with interest—it had to be said that this little gesture was exactly the same as Kate's usual expression.

"Oh? As far as I know, your learning progress is much faster than other children."

Harry Ron, who was the same age, was still worrying about the final exam of the first grade a month ago, and Hermione had already learned the third grade by herself at that time.

"It's not enough!" Hermione clenched her fists, "If you want to catch up with Kate, it's not enough!"

She couldn't figure out why Kate still had to work so hard even though she didn't like it, but she had sworn that she would stand by Kate's side and protect her with all her might.

So now, I can't be left behind by Kate!

"Professor, I want Kate not to work so hard, and I want her to better enjoy the happiness of being with friends, so—please tell me how I can help her!"

She bowed sharply, her eyes closed nervously.

After a while, I didn't hear Catherine's response.

Hermione was a little chilled, and raised her head unwillingly, only to realize that Catherine had appeared in front of her at some point.

"If you want to help her, it will be very hard." Catherine folded her chest and looked down at her.

"I know," Hermione gritted her teeth, "I'm ready!"

"What? Hermione is coming with you next?"

When Kate woke up, she was still a little confused, and was suddenly called to the study by Catherine, and was suddenly informed of the news.

"Will her parents agree? I mean...you've found a new house where you can move in with her?"

Subconsciously, Kate still felt that Catherine was doing other things during this time, and hadn't looked for a house at all.

In fact, they are all a family, so it doesn't matter if she lives in Safik Manor, anyway, her house is so big and there are so many rooms.

But Catherine turned her down.

"My surname is not Safik, why do I live here? It's better to find a small house and live comfortably by myself."

Catherine propped one hand on the table, fiddling with the map on the table boredly: "If you miss me someday, welcome to come and play."

"Auntie..." Kate wanted to persuade her, but she cut it off.

"Needless to say, didn't you agree to stay here for a month? There is still one week left, you can play whatever you want during this week, and then I will take Hermione to my house."

Kate felt dizzy the more she heard it: "She said it herself? Then her parents..."

"I'll visit them this week." Catherine winked at her. "Don't worry, I'll send your little Hermione back intact when school starts."

What was her little Hermione?

This name sounds weird, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Kate coughed lightly, and decided not to worry about addressing her, "What did she tell you? Why did you take her back?"

"Well..." Catherine looked away and curled her hair slightly with her fingers, "I won't tell you, and you don't want to ask her, this is a secret between me and her."

Well, she just took a nap, Xiao Qingmei and her aunt who grew up together have a little secret, and they don't even tell her!

Kate finally came out of the study with a bad face.

Seeing that Hermione was already waiting for her at the door of the study, she felt even more depressed for a while.

"If I asked you why, you wouldn't tell me, would you?" she asked patiently.

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then nodded guiltily, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Kate, I won't say it's because I made an appointment with the professor, but please trust me, okay?"

"I..." Kate choked out a word, but seeing Hermione's anxious look, she choked back all the serious words that followed.

Forget it, even good friends don't have to know all the other's secrets.

After all, she's just not used to it.

Not used to Hermione suddenly becoming so close to someone else, even if that person was her own aunt.

Habitually raised her hand and pinched her little face, Kate sighed softly: "What else can I do with you?"

"So, you're not angry anymore?" Although her face was pinched by her, Hermione still asked happily.

"What can I be angry with? How can I be angry with you?"

Kate let go of her hand, and stared at her reddened face for a while, "Did it hurt you just now?"

Hermione quickly shook her head: "No! As long as it's Kate, you can pinch it however you want!"

"You..." Kate smiled helplessly, and took the initiative to hold her hand, "Let's go, it's time to have dinner."

"Ok!"

Chapter 110 Part Three

The first month of summer vacation passed without any disturbance.

Kate woke up early, helped Qiu Zhang pack her luggage, and sent her out of the manor.

Cho Chang's parents have also been waiting for a long time at a property near HSBC Bank in London.

According to Qiu Zhang, they just came to the bank to discuss business, and there happened to be a house nearby, so they came here to pick up people.

Happens to have a house...

If it weren't for Kate's own manor now, she would probably complain about the evil capitalism ten thousand times in her heart when she heard such words.

The land around the HSBC Bank in London is considered precious, and they followed the road signs to find a villa here.

As soon as I pressed the outer doorbell, I saw a mature and plump middle-aged woman in a light-colored windbreaker, who looked extraordinarily simple and elegant, came out of it.

"Oh, you are little Safik, thank you very much for taking care of my Xiaoqiu for so long!"

Qiu Zhang's mother is a pure Asian, in her forties, but because of the benefits of maintenance, she looks only in her early 30s.

As soon as she saw Kate's white hair and black eyes, she became extremely enthusiastic. She hugged her face and kissed her fiercely, almost wanting to lay hands on her.

How else can I say that Baimao hedges against the special attack of the Chinese.

It was Qiu Zhang who held his mother helplessly to prevent her from making any unrestrained actions: "Mom, you will scare Kate like this..."

"Oh, I forgot," Mrs. Zhang patted her forehead lightly, and then enthusiastically pulled Kate into the room, "Come on, little Kate, come in and sit down!"

It's really... very celestial style.

Kate has lived in the country for so many years, and she is used to people around her maintaining a gentleman or ladylike etiquette.

It was rare to see such a warm and familiar way of hospitality, I forgot to speak for a while, and it was not until Mrs. Zhang brought him into the house that I suddenly came back to my senses.

"Kate, are you okay?" Qiu Zhang asked anxiously.

Her mother's Asian-style enthusiasm in Europe does often cause discomfort to others, and she worries that Kate will hate her family because of it.

"No," Kate shook her head immediately, "I think it's very good, Auntie is very enthusiastic, I... like it very much."

Only then did Qiu Zhang pat his chest reassuringly: "Just as long as you like it, those friends who came to my house before didn't quite get used to it."

"Maybe I was also Asian in my previous life." Kate smiled gently, took off her shoes, and followed her into the living room.

Mrs. Zhang enthusiastically served her tea and pastries: "My husband is still working in the bank and will be back in a while. How about you sit down first?"

"Thank you, Auntie." Kate took a sip of tea and looked at the clock on the wall. "But I should go back. There is still a guest at home waiting for me to deliver it."

Hermione was going to go to the new home with Catherine, she was really worried, it was impossible not to follow her.

"That's it, it's really hard work for you." Mrs. Zhang heard the words and didn't force her, "Then remember to come to our house with Xiaoqiu to play next time."

Kate nodded slightly: "I will, thank you Auntie."

Qiu Zhang followed and got up to see her off.

After reaching the porch, Kate looked at her with interest when she saw that there was no one around: "Xiaoqiu?"
