He is wearing a dragon shape, the fire he uses is a dragon shape, and he can breathe dragon flames from his mouth. Even the patron saint is a dragon.

Very good, the picture is so beautiful, she dare not think about it anymore.

Forget it, I'll talk about this later, in short, all the goals she set at the beginning of the semester will be considered overfulfilled, and then she only needs to raise the average attribute to 75, which is enough to protect herself.

In other words, next year only need... 90 attribute points to complete the goal, which is really gratifying.

After calculating the attribute points she needs next year, Kate threw herself on the bed with a black face.

Why does it feel like it's still far away, help!

Chapter 66 The Closed Manor

On the train the next day, Harry gave her and Hermione Ron each a phone number and told them to call him.

Kate knew that he was uncomfortable at his uncle's house, so he had to agree.

However, she didn't know if the place in Safik Manor, which was protected by a magic barrier and difficult to get in and out, could be connected to the telephone line.

After thinking about it, I think it's better to call again when I go to Hermione's house when I have time.

Well, go to Hermione's house and make a phone call by the way, the order of the key points must be clarified.

She chatted and laughed with them in the same carriage for a while, and fell asleep when the train started. When she woke up and got off the train, she saw the old butler standing in the crowd wearing a conspicuous butler uniform.

"grandfather!"

She stepped forward excitedly, but saw the old housekeeper squatting down apologetically: "Miss, I have something to deal with during the two months of summer vacation, so I can't stay in the manor."

Kate was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? Is it a dangerous place?"

The old butler shook his head: "It's not dangerous, it's just a bit cumbersome and will take a lot of time. During the time I'm not at home, I need to close the entrance and exit passages of Safik Manor.

If you are willing to stay in the manor, the elf has already prepared enough ingredients and daily necessities, but until I come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out for the time being. "

What is it that is dangerous even to go out?

Kate's face became serious, and she glanced at the parents and students of all kinds who were walking around, and secretly became vigilant in her heart.

"Then what if I don't want to stay in the manor?" She asked tentatively.

The old butler smiled as if he had expected it: "I have already contacted your teacher. If you don't want to live in the manor, you can go to his house to spend the summer vacation temporarily."

"Is there no other choice?" Kate frowned. Why did the teacher startled her?

"……Feel sorry."

Well, although I don't know what the big deal is, but since the old housekeeper also attaches great importance to it, then it's fine for her to be obedient.

"Don't bother the teacher," she said after thinking for a moment, "Don't worry, I will stay at home throughout the summer vacation and not go anywhere."

Then she had rejected Malfoy's invitation in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to end.

Turning to look at Hermione's family who were still waiting for her over there, she asked the old butler, "Then can I go say hello to them now? I'll be leaving soon."

"Of course." The old housekeeper glanced at the sun, "There is still an hour before the passage home is closed."

With such a tight schedule, it was hard for Kate not to wonder if the enemies that the Safik family had provoked before came back to make trouble.

She nodded, and quickly walked in front of Hermione: "You should have heard what we said just now, sorry, I can't play with you during the summer vacation."

"Is it really okay?" It was also the first time Hermione encountered such a thing, and she couldn't help but clutched her hand worriedly.

Kate showed a comforting smile: "Don't worry, as long as the access method of the door key is closed in the Safik Manor, no one will be able to find it."

This is the truth. Kate had tried it before, and found that the entire manor was protected by many exquisite spells, and the only way to get in and out was by a special door key.

It is indeed quite troublesome, but it is also because Voldemort once brought Death Eaters into the manor, killing most of the members of his immediate family.

Therefore, in order to preserve the blood of the family, the head of the Safik family back then, that is, Kate's grandfather, gathered the strength of all the remaining people and blocked all other ways of entering and leaving the manor.

His starting point was good, but at that time almost all the members of the immediate family of Safik who were members of the Order of the Phoenix had to go out.

So the rest of these people basically died in battle after battle after going out through the Portkey

Today, she is the only one who needs to protect the manor left by the old Safik.

"However, I probably won't be able to write or call you this summer vacation. Remember to tell other friends for me." Kate added.

Hermione agreed in response: "Okay, I will!"

After explaining the matter briefly, Kate let go of her hand neatly and walked up to the old housekeeper: "Grandpa, let's go back."

"Yes." The old housekeeper nodded, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to her.

The moment her fingers touched it, Kate felt that her feet were off the ground, and her whole body took off.

When it landed again, it was already in front of the long green road outside the manor.

The old butler did not follow, and there was only a familiar elf in front of him.

"Little master, you are finally back, please go back with me!" Jing Jing was so excited when she saw her, and wanted to rush to help her carry the birdcage.

The main reason was that its height was not suitable and its appearance would easily scare pompoms. Kate declined its kindness and followed it on foot all the way back.

"Essence," she glanced at the elf leading the way, and asked tentatively, "Will Safik Manor be closed from today?"

The originally cheerful footsteps paused, turned around, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, it was the housekeeper who told us that the manor needs to be completely closed during the summer vacation."

Kate raised her eyebrows and continued to ask: "Oh, did he tell you the reason?"

"The housekeeper didn't explain this, but said that there might be danger during the summer vacation, so he asked us to protect the master."

Tsk, strange thing.

The danger during the summer vacation, as far as Kate knows, is that Sirius escaped from the wizard prison Azkaban, which caused the Ministry of Magic to send dementors to search around.

But wherever the dementors pass they are sucked, all joyful, and reminds one of the scariest things.

If someone is "kissed" by a dementor, even the soul will be squeezed, and the whole person will be reduced to a walking dead.

This is indeed a dangerous thing, but the problem is that Sirius has not escaped from prison at all, and the Ministry of Magic has not sent dementors, and the magic world is still singing and dancing.

The old butler didn't know how to predict, how could he predict what would happen two months later and protect her in advance?

If it is not something in the plot, it is something unpredictable outside the plot.

Kate led the birdcage back to her bedroom, which was exactly the same as when she left last year, completely unchanged.

She let out the pompom and let it bounce around casually, while she sat down at the desk.

It stands to reason that the old butler had also seen her strength at Christmas, and knew that she was stronger than most adult wizards.

But even so, he had to protect her before this so-called danger came, and even asked Newt, who had used his old arms and legs, for help.

What kind of danger made him so cautious?

What is it that makes him have to stay in the manor and go out alone in such a dangerous time?

Unless... this danger has something to do with what he wants to do.

Thinking of this, Kate couldn't help scratching her hair a little irritably. She didn't want to wake up one day to see the old butler lying on the lawn outside the castle covered in blood.

But this kind of thing, if the old housekeeper wants to tell her, he will say it directly at the station, and he will not let her guess here at all.

While Kate was thinking hard, a warm mass fell behind her.

"Don't make trouble with the pompom." She didn't even look at it, and subconsciously wanted to grab it and play with it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she realized that something was wrong.

It's soft, and it doesn't feel like a pompom, but the texture of human skin.

She turned her head immediately, only to realize that Catherine had appeared behind her at some point, with one hand still on her back,

"Little, auntie?" Kate's eyes were wide open, and she jumped up from the chair in a panic, "How did you get in?"

The promised channel is about to close!

Catherine adjusted her glasses a little: "Mr. Rand gave me the door key in advance, just because I was afraid that you would be as cranky as you are now."

To say that the person who knows Kate best in the world must be the old housekeeper who grew up with her.

He knew very well that if he sent Kate back without explaining anything, even if she sensibly did not ask, she would investigate secretly.

"Let me guess, you are probably thinking now, what is the relationship between the closure of the manor and Rand's departure, right?"

Catherine lifted Kate's chin with her hand, smiled lightly and shook her head: "Don't ask me how I guessed it, your expression is written on your face."

"Cough cough!"

Kate quickly coughed a few times, and took the opportunity to escape from her: "Auntie, you know where the butler grandpa is, right?"

"He went to Austria," Catherine clasped her chest and said directly, "Before that, he and I went to Germany, France and a series of other places."

She put one hand on Kate's shoulder, beckoning her to sit down first, and then said: "We went out together last year, not for any business, but just to find someone.

But recently our purpose seems to be noticed by that person, the other party began to consciously counter-investigate us, and managed to avoid him several times before we found him.

In the first three months, I returned to Hogwarts again, which attracted the attention of the other party. Rand also found out that the other party had recently entered the UK.

We suspect that he knows about the secret things you and I have been in contact with, so just in case, we can only do this. "

Because she was sitting at the desk, Kate could only hear her talking and the hand on her shoulder the whole time.

This way of talking made her a little uncomfortable, "Then, do you think that person will come to me and act dangerously to me?"

Catherine shrugged: "That old guy has always been inhuman, who knows what he can do, so I can only ask you to stay here.

As for Rand, he found that other than the UK, that person had been staying in Austria recently, so he wanted to check while he was in the UK. "

No wonder...

Although Catherine did not specify who they were looking for, at least it answered most of Kate's questions.

She had been at Hogwarts before, so she didn't have to worry about that person sneaking in. Now that it's on vacation, closing the manor is the safest thing to do.

And according to Catherine's tone of voice when she mentioned that person, she seemed to be a little familiar with him, and he was also an elderly wizard.

In Austria, it can be described as a wizard who is inhumane, old, and whose magical power even the old housekeeper fears...

Uh, if she didn't know that Grindelwald was still imprisoned in Nurmengard, she might have misunderstood.

But if you think about it carefully, the old butler should cooperate with Dumbledore in matters related to Grindelwald, instead of looking for him with Catherine.

So the identity of this person...Kate couldn't guess.

Since the other party is in the dark and she is in the light, and she doesn't know her identity, it's better not to run around and cause trouble.

"Now the housekeeper grandpa has gone to Austria, what about you, auntie?"

Just as she was about to turn her head, Catherine forcibly turned her back, followed by a voice above her head: "I have to stay outside to keep in touch with Mr. Rand at any time."

Kate's little head drooped down.

In other words, apart from the elf, she was the only one in the manor...

Although she had tried to lock herself in the house for nearly ten years, but after two years in the lively environment of Hogwarts, she was not used to this feeling of loneliness.

Maybe it was because her little expression was so pitiful, Catherine couldn't help laughing, and pinched the baby fat on her face with her fingers.

"Okay, I won't really lock you up for two months!" Catherine said with a playful smile, "Why don't you wait a month and see if I confirm that there is no danger, and then let you out to play with your little sisters. how?"

Kate's eyes lit up: "Really! You are not allowed to go back on your word!"

"When have I lied to you?" Catherine put her hands on her hips.

"That's too much," Kate began to whisper, "I don't know who concealed my identity from me in the first place... Ouch!"

She clutched her poked forehead and collapsed on the desk exaggeratedly. Catherine was speechless for a while, so she could only say: "Stop pretending, if you pretend again, I will really imprison you for two months."

"Hey, it seems to feel refreshed all of a sudden." Kate sat up naturally and stretched herself.

A set of movements was so smooth and smooth that Catherine shook her head.

What the hell happened to her sister?

"There's nothing else to ask, then I have to go." She glanced at the clock on the wall, it was almost time for dinner.

Kate let out an "ah", and pulled her sleeves coquettishly: "Can't you stay and have dinner together, auntie~"

"It's almost time," Catherine shook her head helplessly, "If I don't leave, I really can't leave."

Ok.

Obediently letting go, Kate quickly asked again: "Can you tell me who that person is!"
