Chapter 879: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 381

Petunia screamed and turned to run toward the swings; Lily was clearly startled, but stayed where she was.

The young Sineipu seemed to regret his rash appearance; he looked at Lily, a faint blush appearing on his sallow cheeks.

"What's obvious?"

Lily asked.

The young Sineipu appeared both nervous and excited. He looked at Petunia, who was lingering by the swings in the distance, and said in a low voice:

"I know what you are."

"What do you mean?"

"You are... you are a witch."

The young Sineipu said softly.

Lily looked as if she had been insulted.

"It's very impolite to say such things to others!"

She turned around, lifted her face, and walked toward her sister with long strides.

"No!"

The young Sineipu said. His face had turned bright red, and the black cat saw his hand tremble by his pocket.

The black cat no longer wanted to think about why he didn't take off that ridiculous oversized coat—he didn't want to reveal the maternity wear underneath.

He flapped his sleeves to chase the two girls, looking like a bat.

The sisters examined him with equally dissatisfied gazes, both clutching a swing pillar, as if it were a safe zone in a game of tag.

"You are,"

Sineipu said to Lily,

"You are a witch. I've been watching you for a while. There's nothing wrong with that. My mother is a witch, and I am a wizard."

Petunia's laughter was like cold water.

"Wizard!"

She screamed.

The boy's sudden appearance had startled her, but now she had regained her composure, and her courage had returned.

"I know who you are. You're that boy from the Sineipu family! They live in Spinner's End by the river,"

She told Lily, her tone clearly indicating that she thought it was a low-class place,

"People from that place are all crude and stupid fools!"

"That's not true."

The black cat gently retorted, not noticing that in the shadow of the tree trunk, a tall figure had locked his gaze onto it.

Thus, the dreamscape changed abruptly, turning into a void; the black cat turned its head, and Professor Sineipu was examining it.

"What are you doing here?"

Sineipu's tone was dangerously abnormal; he gazed at the dissipating dream scene, then turned to those green eyes.

"Looking for you."

The black cat said truthfully.

Sineipu was stunned upon hearing this, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

His dreamscape collapsed rapidly; this was the price that awake people had to face. In the last second before the dreamscape collapsed and they fell into the Boundary, the black cat saw a pair of green eyes.

Somewhat strangely, it didn't look exactly like the pair just now.

In the vast white realm, the vigilant Potions professor kept examining his surroundings; he saw half-ruined Victorian buildings, and "Children's Home" on a faded doorplate.

On the extending road, the streetlights flickered on and off.

Sineipu also saw some houses, and the black cat statues beside the houses, but he thought they were far from the real thing:

"Ugly."

He sneered.

Immediately, he seemed to react.

The statue was ugly because it was unreal, not because the statue itself was ugly.

But he said nothing, just sneered again—clearly thinking "it's actually quite similar," but when the words reached his lips, they turned into another sneer.

The black cat didn't care; the professor's tongue and thoughts were always inconsistent.

Just as it knew, not being able to love is an acquired defect, just like being mute; natural mutes are rare, and not being able to speak is because one cannot hear. ===== CHAPTER 880 =====
