Anyway, the meaning has not changed.

Friends are supposed to protect each other.

"Okay," Kate smiled happily, not being perfunctory at all because of her childish promise, "With Hermione, I can feel at ease."

Well, she'll try harder!

As if winding up suddenly, Hermione turned around and continued casting the spell on Feather.

She didn't notice at all that the elderly man she promised to protect behind her had a slightly weird expression at the moment.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Hermione Promise", completing the pre-quest, and triggering Hermione Granger's exclusive personal branch! 】

[Hermione Granger's exclusive personal side mission is starting! 】

[Character side mission 1: Fifteen days of learning magic with Hermione during the summer vacation (1/15)]

This is very distressing.

Originally, she just wanted to stay at Hermione's house for three to five days before returning, but it seemed that she could only stay for a few more days.

Or... how many times can she come?

Anyway, there are still more than 50 days in the summer vacation, so come once every few days, and stay for a day or two each time, right?

After confirming the feasibility of this method with the system, Kate looked again at Hermione, who was still concentrating on practicing.

It is inconvenient to practice other spells, so let's practice the floating spell together, just to train the control of magic power.

"Look Kate, it's been there for a minute!"

Hermione turned her head happily, but when she saw all the floating objects in her yard floating up, her face couldn't help but change.

She couldn't help but look at Kate who was closing her eyes and directing her magic power to slightly move all the items in front of her.

Gritting his teeth, he turned around and continued practicing with that feather.

One day, she will surpass Kate and protect her!

Chapter 14 School Eve

A summer vacation time flies by.

Kate also finally completed the first Hermione personal task released by the system on the last day of summer vacation.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the character side mission 1, the reward is opening...]

[Mission rewards: attribute value +1, magic wand attribute point +1, intimacy with Hermione +1]

This reward... is not much richer than the previous daily tasks!

Kate lay on her big soft bed and asked tremblingly: "System, what does the last intimacy mean?"

[When the character's personal branch line is opened, the intimacy with the task object will be added. 】

[Hermione's current intimacy with the host: 1]

"Just a little? I feel that the relationship with Hermione is quite close." Kate asked in surprise.

[If the relationship is not close enough, the host will not be able to open the personal branch. 】

Oh, it turned out to be this sequence.

Kate scratched her hair, didn't ask any more questions, and directly added the attribute points to the spirit value. The increase in this value can make her spirit stronger.

When it comes to practical scenarios, it can keep her from comatose after practicing the spell, or increase the probability of breaking free when she is subjected to controlling spells such as the Imperius Curse.

As for the attribute point of this magic wand.

She looked at the output power of the wand displayed by the system, and began to struggle again.

[Current wand output power: 1.55]

This means that she uses 1 part of magic power to output 1.55 parts of magic power.

She had been trying to suppress her magic power output before, trying not to let the teacher and the old housekeeper see the clues.

Adding more attribute points, the output power of the wand will be 1.6 times, then she can only use 0.6 times the magic power of the normal state to maintain the normal output.

It's difficult, why is it so difficult to pretend to be like an ordinary little wizard?

She just wants to buy more time to develop!

Adding attribute points with tears in her eyes, Kate sighed, and heard a knock on the door again.

"Kate, I'm going to report to school tomorrow, have you packed your things?" The old butler's voice followed.

She quickly sat up from the bed and shouted towards the door: "It's packed, grandpa housekeeper! Go to bed later!"

"That's right, Newt sent a small animal today and told you to take it to Hogwarts."

The little animal sent by the teacher has arrived?

Before she went home, Newt said he would send her a small animal to Hogwarts.

It's just that there was no news for the whole summer vacation. If the housekeeper didn't say anything, she would have almost forgotten about it.

Kate immediately got out of bed and ran to open the door, only to see the old butler standing at the door holding a cage covered with black cloth.

As soon as Kate saw the cage, she had a bad premonition, and took a step back hesitantly: "It seems that Hogwarts can only bring cats, mice, toads or owls?"

If it's any other weird animals, then forget it, she doesn't want to be known to everyone because of her unique pet on the first day of school.

Rand shook his head mysteriously, "Don't worry, it's not a violation of school rules."

With that said, he took off the curtain on the cage.

"The dodo?" Kate couldn't help but widen her eyes, and walked half a circle around the cage in a strange way. "Isn't it extinct?"

Although the bird in this cage is only half the size of an ordinary person's head, no matter from which angle it is viewed, it looks like a dodo itself.

Rand corrected: "The dodo is a Muggle saying, in their cognition, it is indeed extinct."

"But among us wizards, its name is Ball Dunn Bird. It is a kind of magical animal, but it is relatively rare."

"Although it can't fly, it has the ability to disappear in one place and reappear in another."

Kate asked in surprise: "Isn't this equivalent to another form of apparition?"

"That's right." Rand smiled. "This is Newt's real gift to you as a teacher."

"At Hogwarts, no one but the Headmaster can Apparate, but..."

"But this is the innate ability of the ball to escape the bird, and it will not be restricted by the Hogwarts ban!"

Kate took his words directly and spoke excitedly.

Such a gift is much more precious than ordinary owls or toads!

At least Kate knows that there are dangers in Hogwarts, and as long as there is a ball, the chance of her being in danger will be greatly reduced.

"I want to write a letter to thank the teacher!"

She took the cage happily, and looked at the rare species in front of her like a treasure.

Rand laughed and said, "It's only been born for less than half a year, and it's still a baby bird, Kate, you have to feed it well."

"Well, I will definitely treat it well!" Kate carefully placed the birdcage on the table, and looked at it like a real little girl.

"You don't have a name yet, little bird, um... May I call you Pompom?"

The ball bird in the cage looked at her curiously. Affected by the ability of animal affection, it obviously liked the new owner very much.

After a while, it bounced and jumped in front of Kate, opened its beak, and let out a soft cry.

Kate was overjoyed, "If you yell, I'll take it as your consent, Pompom!"

Rand looked lovingly at Kate, who was rarely as happy as an ordinary child, "Go to bed early, and tomorrow we will bring pompoms to platform nine and three-quarters."

Well, I still have to cover the pompom with a black cloth tomorrow.

Otherwise Muggles would have caused an uproar if they found out that the extinct dodo was caged by a little girl.

Kate nodded obediently, then stretched out her fingers, and gently touched the top of the pompom's head.

Thanks to the influence of animal favorability, pompom is very obedient to her, not only showing and touching, but also knowing to use his head to actively rub her hand.

"In addition, I usually let the owls at home go to the owl shed at Hogwarts. If you need to communicate with the outside world, just find an owl named Cedar."

Rand told her from the side: "Little master, the Safik family has always occupied a place on the board of directors of Hogwarts."

"Although the family cannot hide now, if something important happens, it can be used as a basis to rely on Dumbledore's power."

Kate paused and turned to look at him.

What the old butler said just now was to rely on Dumbledore's power...

It seems that the Safik family has always been Dumbledore's supporters.

Either way, she deliberately wanted to hide it, and it was better to let Lao Deng be her help than to be an enemy with him.

She and Dumbledore haven't had any conflicts, at least so far.

"I see, Grandpa the housekeeper." She smiled sweetly, then turned around and continued to stroke the pompom's head.

Chapter 15 King's Cross Station

The next day.

King's Cross station, in front of platform nine and three quarters.

Accompanied by Rand, Kate walked all the way through the stone wall that had been cursed with confusion, and saw a crimson steam train parked beside the track.

Surrounded by little wizards who came to school and the hometowns who sent them off, there was also the sound of owls and cats.

The whole platform was immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming school.

Kate looked at the excited faces that were as immature as herself, and at the parents escorting around those faces.

Parents are probably the happiest when the beast returns to school, but they can't show it before the child leaves.

She secretly sighed, and heard some noisy noises in her ears.

Turning around, I saw several boys with red hair pushing carts, walking around a small black-haired little boy.

Kate's eyebrows jumped, and when she saw the boy's broken glasses and the red hair around her, she recognized the boy's identity.

Dumbledore's appointed savior...

Regardless of whether he was appointed or not, as long as he is there, she can continue to fight.

"Grandpa Butler!" She raised her head and stretched out her hands to Rand.

Rand immediately leaned over and hugged her affectionately: "Don't be nervous, they are all your same age."

He believed that his young lady would no longer be as afraid of strangers as before after studying with Newt for a year.

But when he thought that this child who he watched grow up like his granddaughter was about to go to school, Rand still felt complicated.

"Well, I won't be afraid!"

Kate nodded obediently, grabbed his hand and told him in a soft voice: "The housekeeper must take care of his body and wait for me to come back in good health!"

Rand smiled when he heard the words, "Okay, we all have to take care of ourselves."

To be honest, although Rand has always been in good health, he is already in his 70s, so he will inevitably suffer from some illnesses.

With his assurance now, Kate could only let him go, even though she still missed him, and carried the cage with pompoms into the train along with the crowd.

The first few carriages were already full of students, and Kate could only walk back with the influx of students.

As soon as I walked to the door of a private room, I saw a person come out of it, and greeted her in surprise: "Kate! You really came to school!"

Kate froze for a moment, and then realized that the smiling girl was Qiu Zhang.

Qiu Zhang had already changed into her school uniform robe, and the blue that belonged to Ravenclaw was embellished on her tie, making her look more elegant and calm.

It's just that this kind of tranquility is a little more agile under the background of her joyful expression.

"I didn't expect to see you here," Kate smiled politely, "I thought I'd have to wait until the sorting time."
