Wizard Sean read a book while Jia Jia Siting nervously chattered on about many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, they heard Hermione's soft voice calling for them to come in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tenderness on Mr. and Mrs. Granger's faces was almost overflowing, praising Jia Jia Siting until his face turned red, though Wizard Sean was equally caught up in the praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the concerned gaze of the Grangers, Hermione unwrapped her gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting's gift consisted of moon charts and astronomical instruments, which would help the younger Granger, who was currently working on her Astronomy homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean gave her notes he had compiled himself—even Hermione would admit that Wizard Sean's notes were a lifesaver for any young wizard over the weekend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their systematic nature, scientific rigor, and engaging style were incomparable to those dry, vague textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention this nearly perfected History of Magic, which circulated widely among the young wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the dead of night, a slip of paper suddenly appeared at the top of the notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione froze, carefully checked to ensure her roommates were asleep, and only then began to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I want to say, Hermione, no matter how others judge you, your worth never changes because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know you are aware of this, but please allow me to say it once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Your friend: Wizard Sean Green]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This nearly brought tears to the eyes of Hermione, who had been in low spirits lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending special times together clearly binds people;

although Wizard Sean slumped onto his stool within two seconds, this completely terrified the Slytherins passing by outside the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Er dared not imagine how terrible it would be to be rammed by that boar, so Theodore, who was already serving detention and had been notified by him, silently abandoned any thoughts of revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not think his Dancing Feet Spell could compete with a charging boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bright Saturday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owls brought many letters as usual; Jia Jia Siting received an envelope with gold trim, which he carefully tore open to find words from Lady Fenley:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dear Jia Jia Siting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have seen those memorable moments in your letters, my dear;

young wizards always loved coming here, perhaps for the warm fireplace, or perhaps because it was so lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was filled with young wizards eating snacks, playing games, engaging in enthusiastic discussions, or doing homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hermione, have you noticed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting's voice was somewhat low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Except for that one letter from...
