Chapter 646: Hogwarts Study Panel, Chapter 274

"Mr. Newt's wife? My god! Sean, you mean... it is said that very few people can find where Mr. Newt lives in seclusion. Where are they? Oh no, never mind."

Hermione covered her mouth in excitement.

"What Newt? What Tina?"

Ron, who had just finished boasting and returned victorious, stretched his neck.

While they were talking, Sean opened the second letter.

【My lovely child of the Maige family:

Another Christmas, yet the villa's Christmas tree could not welcome a joyous gathering.

I hope that in distant Ilvermorny, you can also receive my blessings.

Remembering that I hugged you last Christmas, outside the villa, even heavier snow fell.

My dear child, come back quickly.

I wait for you, just as an insomniac waits for dream-talk.

Love you: Ma Kusi】

Sean was somewhat distracted; he felt as if he could see those soft and weary eyes through the letter.

Grandfather Ma Kusi seemed to be more than just a farmer; at the very least, he had a gentle touch in his writing.

The third letter was handed to Sean by Bai Yi.

The handwriting on it was still brief:

【Come see me, child】

Sean looked up and indeed saw Professor McGonagall nodding at him from the head table.

Thus, departing for the Maige villa became a settled fact.

King's Cross Station.

The winter of this year seemed to be ending all at once. The January morning was crisp and golden like an apple.

Sean and Professor McGonagall walked briskly through the traffic to the massive, smoke-blackened train station; the car exhaust and the steam from pedestrians' breath shone like spiderwebs, floating in the cool air.

Some large cages rattled on top of luggage carts, and the owls inside called out in dissatisfaction.

"Ma Kusi's wife, Nai, works at a publishing house. Some of the newspapers you saw before were written by Nai."

Professor McGonagall said slowly.

"Of course, the letter you received today was also written on her behalf. You haven't met her yet; last Christmas, she was still in the United States for work, but now, she is rushing back impatiently."

Sean nodded thoughtfully; so it was Grandma Nai, whom he had never met, who wrote the letter.

"Hmm... what did you learn at Ilvermorny?"

I don't know when it started, but Professor McGonagall, who was always rigorous and spoke little, began to enjoy asking about trivial matters.

"I learned the Undetectable Extension Charm."

Sean counted them off.

"That's excellent, what else?"

Professor McGonagall's hair was combed meticulously, and the curled ends rested against her slightly raised lips.

"I met Mr. Newt Scamander and learned space magic and weather magic."

Sean recalled, listing them in order.

"Dangerous and rigorous magic; come to the Transfiguration office to practice."

Professor McGonagall paused slightly, but her good mood was not spoiled.

As they talked, the two of them sat in the carriage.

Along with the sunlight, bumping along the way, the professor seemed to enjoy such a scene.

"What else?"

She asked gently.

"Relying on this, I brought back a Wampus cat—it is the mascot of Ilvermorny, and also..."

Sean had no intention of hiding anything.

"And?"

Professor McGonagall's face changed slightly.

"And a Pukwudgie; it signed a contract with me to help me organize the Undetectable Extension space.

By the way, Professor, I helped send off Lady Isolt Sayre, who was a ghost."

Sean said.

Minerva McGonagall's vision went dark again and again.

Pukwudgies, as distant relatives of European goblins, extremely hate humans and use powerful magic to play tricks on them.

Such creatures are even worse than the goblins of Gringotts.

But compared to a Pukwudgie, what kind of terrible thing was sending off Isolt Sayre?

"What does this mean?"

Minerva McGonagall was somewhat anxious.

"I sent Lady Isolt Sayre, who had stayed for three centuries, to the afterlife.

She was very grateful to me and even gave me a Book of Ghosts."

Sean answered truthfully.

"..."

Silence fell inside the carriage.

Minerva McGonagall somewhat suspected that her lovely child and Olivia had escaped from Ilvermorny.

Her face darkened, and she sent out a letter at the fastest speed:

【Olivia, come see me; you had better explain clearly—】

Until the carriage shook constantly and Sean explained his actions at Ilvermorny as if he had noticed something, Professor McGonagall's face returned to normal.

Only then did Sean have time to look at the not-too-large Maige villa and Ma Kusi, who was laughing heartily under the beech tree.

It seemed that at the tail end of this Christmas, he could test his strength range.

Having a sufficiently clear understanding of himself, Sean believed, was a necessary and important thing.

Thus, his steps as he got off the carriage were much lighter.

"Welcome home—"

Under the tree, Ma Kusi shouted happily and with full breath. ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
