Only then did Kate come back to her senses, coughed lightly pretending to be serious, and pulled Qiu Zhang out of the room together.

……

The pattern on the dining table is a little tricky.

Hermione and Qiu Zhang were sitting on either side of Kate, and Catherine and the old butler were sitting one seat apart from each other.

Hmm...why does the atmosphere feel a little stiff?

Kate did not forget to look up and look at both sides while eating. The lion cub and the eaglet were both eating in silence, and they seldom even made a sound.

Not to mention the two elders on the opposite side.

The old butler was always reticent, but Catherine...

Seeing the man's whole body wrapped tightly, Kate's face twitched.

This is summer, can you really not suffer from heat stroke if you wear it like this?

Catherine noticed her gaze, raised her eyebrows and hooked her lower lip, as if showing off her attire to her.

...well, as long as you are happy.

He bowed his head silently and carried on this silent lunch to the end.

Finally, when lunch was over, the old butler went out to deal with business as usual. Kate was about to take her two little friends to the garden to relax for a while, when Catherine called her to stop.

"In the future, I will be at the manor every weekend. If you have anything to do, you can come to me in the bedroom or study room. You can arrange it freely at other times."

Kate was startled, and couldn't help guessing: "Auntie, you found a new place so quickly?"

"Well," Catherine shrugged, "There are a lot of things to do in the new house, so I won't be staying at the manor for a week."

Intuition told Kate that she was lying.

But I don't need to expose her, not to mention that my two friends are more comfortable only when there are no parents.

"Okay," she nodded, "we will pay attention to safety at home, you don't have to worry."

Catherine smiled, and rubbed Kate's little head vigorously: "I'm not worried about you little guys."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Kate again, whispered a few words in her ear, then blinked at her, and disappeared in front of their eyes.

Kate stared blankly at the air in front of her.

Just now Catherine said that she is quite satisfied with these two girls, let her take good care of them.

Grasp what?

It's not what she thinks it means, is it?

Looking back at the two girls who obviously looked like little lolitas, Kate shrank back with some chills.

She is not a lolicon!

Catherine is such a weird aunt, and she arranges her, a 13-year-old child, without a date. She is shameless!

"What's the matter with you, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that her face was not looking well, Hermione came over with concern.

At the same time, Qiu Zhang's small hand touched her forehead in due course, and said to himself: "It seems that there are no symptoms of a cold..."

Kate was silent for a while, stepped back half a step, and raised the corners of her mouth in embarrassment: "I'm fine."

It's all Catherine's fault, such a normal contact can be misunderstood by her!

Quickly forgetting the negative impact of Catherine's words just now, she coughed lightly, "Since the parents are not here..."

Hermione and Qiu Zhang looked at each other knowingly, and smiled knowingly at the same time.

"There is a broom in the warehouse on the basement floor of my house. Would you like to try the feeling of flying in the manor?" Kate suggested narrowly.

"Will the winner be rewarded?" Qiu Zhang's eyes lit up.

"Of course!" Kate waved her hand generously, "Whoever wins can enter my library to read books casually."

Even Hermione's eyes lit up now: "That's it!"

The three people present are all at the level of academic masters, and nothing can motivate them more than knowledge.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The whistling wind sounded in her ears, and Kate leaned over on the broom, her eyes firmly fixed on the figure in front of her who threw herself far away.

Qiu Zhang quickly walked through the longest corridor inside the castle, walked out through the wide open window, and rang the wind chime device that had been set in advance.

With the sound of a crisp wind chime, the game also ended.

Kate slammed on the brakes, and by the way, also caught Hermione who was closely behind her.

The two looked at each other in frustration, and then flew slowly towards the lawn on the broom.

Qiu Zhang had already stopped there, bouncing and waving at them: "I agreed to win two out of three rounds, but this is the second time I've won."

"Your skills are getting better and better." Kate jumped off the broom and shook her head with a smile. "It seems that we are really not suitable for using a broom as a means of transportation."

Hermione, who was silent on the side, put down her broom with a helpless expression.

Although she has always been a competitive master, she has to admit that she is not talented enough when it comes to flying broomsticks.

No matter how much she and Kate practiced, they could only reach the level where they could fly on a broomstick at most, and it would be difficult to go any further.

"I can only bully you a little bit," Qiu Zhang smiled modestly, "I'm not like Harry, who became a Seeker in the first grade."

"But even if you meet on the court, you won't be intimidated just because the opponent is Harry." Kate said happily.

Qiu Zhang nodded confidently: "It's natural. Although I haven't met him on the court, I believe that my hard-working skills will not lose to anyone."

Indeed, the position of the Seeker is a test of skill, but it also depends on the luck of both parties.

Many Seekers lose matches not because of inferior skills, but simply because of bad luck.

And as the protagonist, Harry's luck in finding the Snitch is almost full, and it's impossible to be dissatisfied.

"Then as a promise, you can enter my library to read books at will." Kate put her hands behind her back and announced the result of the competition with a smile.

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Hermione who was clearly depressed, coughed lightly, and added: "Of course, there is no way for other people to enter the library."

Hermione's little head froze, and she quickly tugged on her sleeve and asked, "How can I enter the library?"

"Then...the loser prepares dinner in the kitchen. After dinner, I'll take the two of you to find books together. How about it?"

"Okay! Then you are not allowed to go back on your word!" Hermione agreed immediately, and then dragged Kate by the hand and walked into the castle.

"Hey, what are you pulling me for?"

"Hmph, you are also a loser, hurry up and cook with me, don't run away!"

Kate was amused by her eagerness, and hurriedly pulled her back, "Okay, okay, but it's still early, you guys wait here for a while, I need to go to the kitchen to make arrangements."

At least for now, she didn't want Hermione to see her house-elves and form associations for them.

It's not that she thinks it's so bad, it's mainly because it's too troublesome.

As a nerd who can stay at home for more than ten years, she really hates anything that might cause trouble.

Hermione hesitated for a moment, looked back at Qiu Zhang who was still fondly playing with the broom in her hand, and hesitated.

If Kate left, she and Cho Chang would be left alone.

It is obvious that the familiarity between her and Qiu Zhang is basically based on the fact that both parties know Kate.

To put it simply, apart from Kate, the two of them haven't gotten to know each other well enough to get along with each other freely.

But compared to Hermione's hesitation, Qiu Zhang seemed much more natural, and immediately said: "Then you go, Hermione and I will rest here for a while."

Kate didn't think too much, turned around and entered the castle.

She had to get the house-elves to prepare the ingredients for dinner in advance, and then ask them to disappear for a while.

It wasn't until her back disappeared at the gate of the castle that Hermione looked back in frustration, looked back at Qiu Zhang who was still in place, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Putting down the broom in his hand, Qiu Zhang sat directly on the lawn, turned around and waved to Hermione: "It seems to be a bit cooler here, do you want to come and sit?"

Most girls don't like to bask in the sun. Hermione glanced at the sunny place she was in, and hid in the shade without hesitation.

The two sat in a row, and when Hermione realized it, she was already sitting next to Qiu Zhang.

"You have a very good relationship with Kate." Qiu Zhang crossed his legs and looked at her thoughtfully.

Hermione nodded subconsciously: "Of course, we've known each other since childhood!"

"Is that so..." Qiu Zhang's bright little face rarely showed a bit of melancholy, "It's really nice, childhood sweetheart or something."

For many people, being able to maintain a friendship from the time of school is already precious, and she and Kate were like this.

But compared to their childhood sweethearts and the friendship they grew up with, their friendship seems a bit inadequate.

Hermione also obviously noticed her emotions, and asked tentatively: "Sister, do you like Kate very much?"

"Yeah, it makes people feel very relaxed when they get along with her. She always has a way to make people laugh."

Qiu Zhang admitted generously, and asked her back: "Isn't it like this when you get along?"

"I..." Hermione's voice froze for a moment.

She remembered that most of the time she spent with Kate was reading books together, or asking Kate questions or practicing spells by herself.

Even when they take a walk together after dinner every day, what they talk about most is their academic problems.

If you really count, the time she and Kate spend entertaining is ridiculously small.

The atmosphere between them can be said to be motivated or harmonious, but most of the time, it can never be described as relaxed.

Hermione's mood is a bit complicated now.

She has always believed that the way she and Kate get along should be considered harmonious, but according to what Qiu Zhang said, the way she and Kate get along is quite different.

I always think about how to chase and surpass Kate, so when I get along with Kate, I also think about how to let her teach me.

So has Kate been unilaterally including herself?

"Hermione, Hermione?"

Qiu Zhang's voice pulled her back from her contemplation to reality. Hermione was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "Sister Qiu Zhang, how do you usually get along with Kate?"

"...Huh?" Qiu Zhang tilted his head strangely.

"Please, I really want to know!" Hermione moved closer to her again, looking her in the eyes seriously.

then……

When Kate came back after arranging everything, what she saw was the scene of these two little girls sitting side by side and talking happily.

It feels like the delicate atmosphere before has disappeared inexplicably.

I don't know why, but it's a good start.

"It's ready in the kitchen." She walked over and reminded softly, smiling and leaning over, "What are you talking about?"

Hermione's face flushed suddenly, and she stood up abruptly, furious as if her secret had been shattered: "I didn't tell you!"

Even though she said so, she still held Kate's arm very honestly, and rolled her eyes shyly, "Didn't you say that you are going to prepare dinner? Let's go together."

"Then let me come along." Qiu Zhang patted the grass clippings on his body and stood up calmly. "It doesn't seem too good if I'm the only one waiting to eat."

Kate had already guessed that she would say, "Okay, let's go together."

She grabbed Hermione's hand habitually, but as soon as she turned her head, Qiu Zhang took the initiative to shake the other hand.

Staring blankly at Qiu Zhang with a calm face, Kate blinked and decided to ignore this detail.

It's normal for good friends to hold hands. Isn't she and Hermione tired of being together every day?

The three of them walked to the kitchen together in an intimate and slightly awkward posture. At that time, the house elves had cleaned up the place, and the ingredients to be cooked had been prepared and placed in a conspicuous position.

It can be said that they are only responsible for cooking.

But obviously, for the three little girls whose oldest is only 13 years old, it is also obvious that they are in a hurry when they go to the kitchen for the first time.

"Hermione, flour is not kneaded like this, don't pour so much water at once, it will flow everywhere!"

"Qiu Zhang, that's not how steaks are thawed! Don't fry them in the pan!"

When the two little lolitas present were genuine lolitas, Kate, a fake lolita, could only roll up her sleeves and fuck herself.
