From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

After bidding farewell to Professor Kettleburn, Sivan walked towards the lawn in the center of the castle's teaching area.

Speaking of the new semester, I only met Miranda briefly on the train. I didn’t even have time to ask her about the royalties for "The Book of Spells" and how her life is lately? I thought about this academic year.

Since I haven't borrowed her notes yet, Xiwen decided to go find her to get close to her.

Enter the corridor of the teaching area through the small door on the northwest side of the castle. Through the tall stone pillars along the corridor, you can see that even on weekends, there are still many Ravenclaw students studying on the lawn, working very hard.

Miranda was also on the lawn of the teaching area, leaning lazily on a stone pillar in the distance, reading a hardcover book attentively.

It seems that because "The Book of Spells", which has become a best-seller in the United States, has provided her with sufficient royalties, Miranda's life is no longer as stretched as she once described to Xiwen, and now she also has plenty of money to dress herself up.

Already.

Today, Miranda is wearing the exquisite metal glasses that Xiwen gave her at Christmas. Her light gray hair is draped over her shoulders. While she is concentrating on reading, she occasionally uses her left hand to unconsciously fiddle with the ends of her hair scattered on her chest.

She was wearing a brand new school uniform robe, lined with a women's white shirt. The blue striped tie and the blue collar of the school uniform contrasted with Miranda's warm blue eyes.

Her lower body was also wearing a blue checkered Scottish-style skirt, revealing two white calves that were held together. The brand-new school robe was unbuttoned and hung lazily on both sides of her calves. As she leaned against the stone pillar, she was almost

Hanging on the tender green grass.

Miranda didn't realize it, she just concentrated on reading the book in her hand.

Xiwen walked around half a circle in the corridor, leaning on the left side of the stone pillar where Miranda was, turning his head to look at the book in her hand.

"Advanced Spellcasting? Professor Hicks's book?" Xiwen asked curiously when he saw the title on the header.

Miranda tilted her head slightly, glanced at Xiwen beside her, and said, "Is Eulalie Hicks a professor? Your tone sounds like you know the author?"

"She is the Charms professor of Yinfumonyi." Sivan smiled and said to Miranda. "Don't you know? Professor Hicks came to Hogwarts once last semester, and she was there at that time.

In the auditorium.”

"Really?" Miranda finally couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly turned her head to look at Xiwen. "I've wanted to see her for a long time. Why didn't you call me when she came!"

"The problem is that I didn't know you were reading this book at the time..." Xiwen spread his hands innocently and said.

"Oh, that's right. I only started reading this book at the end of this summer vacation." Miranda said a little depressed. "What a pity. If I could have a good communication with her, maybe I could write the second book.

The second edition of "The Book of Spells" is out."

Speaking of the second edition of the Book of Spells, Xiwen immediately became energetic and asked: "Which publishing house will you publish the second edition of the Book of Spells to?"

"Which publishing house can offer better treatment than yours?" Miranda rolled her eyes and said to Xiwen. "During the summer vacation, many bookstores and publishing houses sent me letters to ask questions. I went through the letters they gave me.

Regarding the author’s share, I feel like the person who decided to share it in your publishing house is like a fool. Otherwise, how could I get so much?”

"Who are you calling a fool?" Xiwen said angrily with a black line on his face. "You're not happy to give you a high score, are you?"

"Sure enough, I knew it was you!" Miranda laughed lightly and looked at Xiwen and said.

"The share you gave me has really completely alleviated my family's financial difficulties. It is thanks to your help that I can study without worries now. I am really grateful to you!"

"Hey, don't say that!" Xiwen waved his hand and said, "In business, everyone just takes what they need."

Miranda looked at the tough-talking Xiwen, smiled a little happier, raised the corners of her lips and said, "So, how can I find another publishing house?"

Xiwen nodded with satisfaction and said to Miranda: "In that case, I actually have a way to contact Professor Hicks."

"Really or not?" Miranda said in disbelief. "You must know that the author is in the country of Magnesia, and letters sent by owls are basically out of reach."

"Of course it's not the low-level way of sending letters by an owl!" Xiwen stood up and took out a mirror decorated with a phoenix frame from the pocket watch.

Xiwen manipulated the mirror, and then he could see that a book page had been turned on the mirror, and Flamel's face appeared on the mirror.

"Hello, Xiwen." Flamel said with a smile. "Why don't you just come here as usual? Why are you using a double-sided mirror?"

"Good morning, Mr. Flamel!" Xiwen said hello first, and then asked. "I would like to introduce a friend over, do you think that's okay?"

"Then bring it here quickly, we both just think it's deserted here!" Mrs. Flamel's face also squeezed into the mirror, and she said kindly to Xiwen.

"Well, okay. We'll be there soon!" Xiwen nodded solemnly and put away the double-sided mirror.

Then Xiwen seemed to have thought of something, looked at Miranda and asked: "By the way, do you have nothing else to do today?"

Miranda was rubbing her glasses in disbelief at this time, nodded dully, and asked tremblingly: "That was... Nicolas Flamel just now?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" Xiwen said with a chuckle. "Come with me, we need to find a quiet place to go to Flamel's house."

Afterwards, Sivan pulled Miranda, who was still in disbelief, towards the entrance courtyard, and then walked down the stairs leading to the castle dungeon.

Because it was not very early at this time, some young Slytherin wizards would occasionally pass by this spiral staircase. They all showed strange expressions as they watched Sivan pulling a witch wearing a blue-collared school robe.

Miranda felt a little uncomfortable and secretly tapped her body with the wand, turning the blue on her clothes into green. Then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiwen looked at Miranda's self-deception with some amusement, and was about to make a few jokes.

Then he suddenly thought of the scene when he secretly ran to Ravenclaw Tower. At that time, he took off his school robe, took off his tie, and only dared to enter Ravenclaw Tower wearing a plain white shirt.

Woolen cloth?

So Xiwen silently gave up the idea of ​​teasing Miranda.

Miranda, who was dressed in green, finally no longer attracted the attention of the passing little Slytherin wizards, and the two successfully arrived at the dungeon room belonging to the ghost Sivan.

"Are you ready?" Xiwen closed the door and asked Miranda.

"Wait a moment." Miranda stopped Xiwen's movement, and then nervously used the summoning spell to conjure a mirror.

She arranged her hair in the mirror, changed her clothes back to Ravenclaw blue, then looked at Xiwen and asked: "Is my current image okay?"

"You are already very beautiful, Miss Xueba!" Xiwen said in a dumbfounded voice. "Lemay is very friendly, you don't have to be so nervous."

Miranda breathed a sigh of relief and nodded solemnly to Xiwen.

Then, a golden halo of light lit up in the room.
