"Please wait!"

Before leaving, Kate took the initiative to walk up to the LeMays and bowed deeply, although she still had a solemn expression on her face.

"Mr. LeMay, I am very grateful for your trust, so please rest assured that I will take good care of what you give me!"

She raised her head, smiled shyly at the two old men, trotted back to Dumbledore, grabbed his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "Professor, let's go."

A little relief flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he took a last look at his friends and his wife before disappearing in place.

As soon as he returned to Hogwarts, he was about to say something to the girl next to him, when he saw the little guy ran to Fox with a bitter face, and buried his face in the feathers of the big bird.

"Woooooo Fox, I'm going to die!"

It was the first time that Dumbledore was stunned by his own phoenix's anger, and then he shook his head helplessly and smiled.

Well, it's just a child.

But soon, the kid stopped him from laughing.

Kate stayed at Hogwarts for a few days. After doing alchemy experiments and almost burning down a few abandoned classrooms, she was finally ready to return to the manor under the call of the old housekeeper.

Alchemy experiments are really expensive and emotional, especially when she runs away after destroying it, and even Dumbledore has nothing to do with her.

After saying goodbye to Old Deng with a smile, she returned to the manor with the port key sent by the owl.

As soon as she returned, the old housekeeper took away all the black magic items she was carrying, and even handed over the large pile of alchemy tools left to her by Nicole Flamel.

Probably the old butler also heard about her sabotage by alchemy at Hogwarts.

If every wall of Hogwarts was not enchanted, Kate would have blown up several walls.

For the sake of her own manor, no matter what, Kate can't get in touch with these things before she has finished her studies!

So... Kate's plan to explore the collection room had to be scrapped.

"This is the potion that Horace Slughorn was asked to brew for a lot of money."

『_|空./白.小_说|群』|6.9 -8|9/|2/5_/8- 5-0.

　　The old butler took her to the study with a straight face, and saw that the desk was already full of potion bottles: "He came to visit two days ago, but you happened to be away, so he said he would come again next year."

A bottle of one hundred gold galleons of potion, even the materials are prepared, which is equivalent to the manual cost is worth one hundred gold galleons, and the potion on this table is also worth six to seven thousand gold galleons.

An Auror's annual salary is at most two thousand Galleons, which is beyond the reach of many ordinary wizards, but it is only one-third of Kate's one-time labor fee.

So it was no wonder that Horace had come to visit in person.

When a thousand gold buys a horse bone, the focus is not on the horse bone.

It's just that she missed the potion master's visit, and Kate still felt a little regretful. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of his visit to see if she could use the system to get some wool on him.

But anyway, people have left their words here, so they will definitely come to visit next year.

If you can earn the favor and professor of a potion master with this little money, then that's not a loss.

Putting these excellent potion bottles into her purse, Kate took a sneaky look at the old butler, and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Grandpa housekeeper, I won't do those dangerous experiments anymore, don't be angry~"

The old butler frowned at her, and hugged those purses containing black magic items even tighter.

"Miss, school will start in a few days. Hogwarts has sent letters. Remember to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy the items needed for the second grade."

Oh, don't mention this, she almost forgot.

Kate had written with Ron before, and the other party said that they secretly took Harry from his uncle's house to their own, and they planned to go to Diagon Alley to buy books together tomorrow.

They invited her to come with them, and they could meet up then.

Kate raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly: "I see!"

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No, just let the spirit follow me secretly!"

the second year

Chapter 1 Luna Lovegood

On Wednesday morning, Kate woke up early, eating a sandwich and looking at the books that the second year students needed to buy from Hogwarts.

Unsurprisingly, all but one, Standard Spells, Level [-], are by Gilderoy Harold.

She suspected that this guy was a best-selling author who earned his title by relying on expensive single-book prices and exploiting a lot of poor students.

Fortunately, as a thousand-year-old family who loves books, the Safik family invested a lot of shares in Lihen Bookstore when it was founded.

The purpose is to be able to get rare rare books from the purchase channel at the first time.

But now that the Safik family is in decline for the time being, Kate, as a descendant of Safik, has to keep a low profile and can only buy books by herself.

However, as a shareholder, there is no problem with [-]% off these books.

Although Kate herself is not short of this money, she thinks that the Weasleys should be very short.

"Grandpa housekeeper, I'm full, let's go with Jingjing first!"

She yelled loudly, and Jing Jing appeared in front of her.

"Have you brought enough Galleons, Jing Jing?" She asked while fumbling for her wallet.

Jingjing replied excitedly: "I've brought enough, little master, we can start at any time!"

It is rare for it to go out with Kate, which is an honor that even the elves in the house cannot enjoy.

Kate touched the Galleons in her wallet, and then put her hand on Jingjing's shoulder with confidence. The next second, the scene in front of her changed suddenly.

Suddenly exposed to bright light, Kate subconsciously closed her eyes, and opened them slowly when she got used to the new environment.

There were many shops around, and it was not too early for her to come, so there were already many wizards walking around on the street.

"This is..." Kate glanced around, only to realize that she was standing at the intersection where Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley adjoined.

She had sneaked into this place several times before, and she was really impressed.

Turning her head again, Jing Jing had disappeared before her eyes, but she probably didn't go far, but just hid in the dark and followed her secretly.

"Hey, little wizard over there," a man with cotton candy-white hair passing by with his little daughter reminded her, "That's not a place for children!"

Kate scratched her face. She didn't tell the man that she had gone to Knockturn Alley several times to find things in private, and walked over obediently: "Thank you for reminding me."

Her eyes moved away from this ordinary man, and happened to bump into the little blond girl behind him who was half a head shorter than her.

The other party just happened to look at her with those beautiful silver eyes.

The girl put the wand she had just bought behind her left ear, and on her small earlobe was a rather heavy carrot earring, and on her chest was a necklace made of a butterbeer cork.

There are too many cute little girls in the magic world. If it weren't for her messy and disorderly outfit, Kate might not be able to recognize her identity.

"You like this very much?" The girl spoke first, her voice was light and ethereal, as if it came from the sky.

Kate was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that what the other party was talking about was the necklace of butter beer corks on her chest.

She smiled kindly: "It's very special."

Just as special as her owner.

"My name is Kate Safik," she offered her hand to the girl, "what about you?"

The girl bent her eyes, reached out and gently shook her hand: "Luna Lovegood."

"You're Safik?" Luna's father, Xenophilius Lovegood, looked at her a few more times in surprise.

In the British wizarding world, there are hardly many people who don't know the Sapphire family, just like Harry's name is known to everyone here.

But the descendants of the Safik family are relatively less famous.

This includes the reason why Kate fled with the old butler for ten years, and the reason why she has been keeping a low profile since entering Hogwarts.

"Mr. Lovegood, hello." Kate greeted him politely, then turned to look at Luna.

Compared to the messy-dressed middle-aged man, the messy-dressed cute little loli looked more eye-catching.

"You look tired." Luna tilted her head slightly, her beautiful silver eyes seemed to be dull, but she seemed to be able to see everything clearly.

Kate blinked her eyes, and soon showed a smile: "Maybe I didn't have a good rest last night."

"Are you being stalked by the harassing horse too?" Luna looked at her sympathetically.

"Maybe," Kate didn't deny, just mumbled, "if that thing you're talking about can fly into my head."

Luna smiled lightly: "You guessed it right, the harassing horseflies are invisible, they will float into people's ears and mess up their brains."

"Oh, it looks like my brain needs to be dewormed." Kate shrugged and smiled at her.

Perhaps it was rare to see his daughter chatting with other children so happily, Xenophilius also showed some kindness: "Miss Safik is also studying at Hogwarts now?"

"Yes, after school starts, I should be in the second grade." Kate replied generously, and looked at the sun above her head again, "I made an appointment with my classmates at the bookstore today, and I might be late now."

Luna blinked: "Then we'll see you at Hogwarts, Sister Safik."

"You can just call me Kate, primary school girl." Kate grinned, nodded at the two of them, turned around and ran towards Lihen Bookstore.

The two father and daughter watched him leave. Xenophilius was about to take his daughter to other places to buy things, but Luna stopped in the middle of the road, looking in the direction of Knockturn Alley thoughtfully.

"what happened?"

"It seems that someone was watching us just now." Luna's ethereal eyes drifted thoughtfully to the depths of Knockturn Alley.

Xenophilius glanced over there strangely, but saw nothing.

"Now," after a while, Luna slowly moved her eyes to look at her father, "that person has left."

He shrugged, "Okay, then let's go shopping."

As he spoke, he took his daughter for a walk and left.

And at this moment, in Knockturn Alley.

Lucius, who had to see most of the black magic items sold at home in order to cope with the black magic item inspection by the Ministry of Magic, walked out of the Bojinbok shop slowly.

As soon as he came out, he saw his daughter hiding in the shadow of the alley and peeking out.

"Draco," he tilted his head slightly, "what are you looking at?"

Suddenly being called, Malfoy straightened up: "No...no!"

Lucius nodded slightly, not paying attention to her stuttering: "Let's go, didn't you say you want to buy a broomstick for competition?"

"Yes, Dad." Malfoy tried his best to put aside the picture of Kate talking happily with a strange girl just now in his mind, and walked forward with his father.

Chapter 2 Lihen Bookstore

Kate hurried to the entrance of Lihen Bookstore, and found a lot of people crowded here, and a banner was drawn in front of the upstairs window:

Gilderoy Lockhart will be signing autobiography "My Magician" today from 12:30-4:30pm

Kate also took a special look. Most of the crowd were witches of Mrs. Weasley's age.

Tsk tsk, this idiot is still a proper teacher killer.

After searching along the book sales line for a while, she saw that Harry and the Weasleys had already lined up in the crowd.

In addition, she also saw two unexpected figures among them.

She hurriedly squeezed through the gap and ran to them: "Mrs. Weasley, hello."

"Kate, you're finally here, I thought you'd be late!" Harry said happily.

After saying hello to Mrs. Weasley, Kate turned around and looked at him with a half-smile, "I heard you sneaked out from home?"

Being poked into something embarrassing, Harry gave a dry cough and quickly pulled her back: "That... Hermione and Professor Wynyard are behind."

Following his gaze, Kate also saw the two people in line behind them at a glance.

Hermione was looking at her with bright eyes now, but with Catherine's suppression, she couldn't take the initiative to step forward.

"I didn't expect you to come too." Kate subconsciously wiped the sweat from her palms, walked over cautiously, took a look at Caitlin, and then gently shook Hermione's hand.
