From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts
Chapter 48: The Difficulty of Miranda
Miranda burst out laughing when she saw Xiwen's speechless expression.
"I'm not kidding you anymore, it's just the disappearing spell I practiced. It's part of this year's wizard level exam syllabus," she said.
When it came to the disappearing spell, Xiwen suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "If your disappearing spell hits me, will it make me disappear?"
Miranda looked at him as if she were a fool and said, "If the Vanishing Curse had this effect, it would have been put into practice by dark wizards long ago. But have you ever seen any wizard fight with the Vanishing Curse?"
"You must keep in mind Gamp's basic law of transformation. Magic cannot disappear or be created out of thin air, so the disappearing spell cannot have an effect on wizards or magical animals!" Miranda said.
"That's true." Xiwen nodded, and then suddenly asked, "That can be effective on Muggles, right?"
"Why do you have such an idea?" Miranda looked at him in surprise and asked. "There are so many ways to deal with non-magical creatures, why do you use the more expensive transformation spell? A weakened version of the coma spell is enough.
You make things that can be solved so complicated."
Xiwen smiled coquettishly and said: "I just want to understand its principle..."
Miranda curled her lips and asked angrily: "So why did you come to me? Isn't it just to interrupt my practice of magic spells?"
"Of course not." Xiwen shook his head and said seriously. "You asked me about our family's branch of the Fa Kingdom before, and now there is news."
Miranda also became serious and asked: "How is it? Is there any movement?"
Xiwen said: "Now I only know that the capital flow at the Faguo branch has been abnormal recently, and there is no other news."
Miranda nodded and said: "That's enough. This proves that the Dark Lord Grindelwald will definitely take action in the near future."
The corner of Xiwen's mouth twitched and he said awkwardly: "Is it really okay to use such a positive tone? After all, we are also in our family..."
"Don't you think that the flow of funds has something to do with Grindelwald?" Miranda raised her eyebrows and looked at Sivan and said.
"Well, I think so." Xiwen touched his nose and said not too confidently. "Maybe he is engaged in investment or something?"
"Don't be stupid. You would hide something like investment from the Chinese branch of your family from knowing about it?" Miranda said angrily.
"Okay." Xiwen nodded as if he was resigned to his fate.
Seeing that he finally admitted the matter, Miranda relaxed a little, and then asked: "Have you told the professor about this?"
"Not yet." Xiwen shook his head and replied. "It's always hard to tell outsiders about your family's affairs, and it also feels like leaking family secrets."
"So you leaked family secrets to me?" Miranda looked at him with a half-smile and said.
"This is different." Xiwen shrugged and said casually. "After all, you have helped me a lot, and our relationship is not bad. Is it not a big deal for friends to discuss the situation at home?"
'The other thing is that I don't really want to tell the old principal about my family situation personally. Who knows if he will doubt me again after he wronged my soul?' Xiwen added silently in his heart.
"Thank you for your trust, Xiwen." Miranda smiled, and then said seriously: "But unfortunately, as a prefect, I have to tell the school about this matter."
"It doesn't matter." Xiwen nodded indifferently.
After all, it is a major matter related to the Dark Lord. It is not appropriate to keep it private after all, otherwise it will be ugly if it misses the overall situation.
Giving Miranda the report to the school not only prevents him from being embarrassed when facing the principal, but also allows him to repay some of the favor she lent him the notes, which is a pretty good result.
Miranda hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since you regard this matter as a chat between friends about family situations, then I should tell you about my family situation."
"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Xiwen looked at Miranda in shock and said.
Miranda shook her head and said to Xiwen: "It's different. You don't know how important this information is to me."
"Principal Dippet has assigned a task to all our prefects to find clues to the destruction of the magic node. The prefect who finds the clues will make an important contribution to the school."
"With this important information, as long as my academic performance can continue to maintain the first place in the grade, I can basically surpass Cedrella Black and become the student council president in the seventh grade."
"Is a student union president important?" Xiwen asked, feeling a little confused.
"That's true for me." Miranda nodded and said. "Actually, I was born in a poor family with many children. I am the youngest of nine sisters."
"My family was already somewhat poor when I was born, and now we have no savings at all. Growing up, I had to wear the robes used by my sisters."
Xiwen thought about it and realized that Miranda's clothes and books were indeed quite old. He always thought it was because of her frugal personality.
"But your dress was quite nice at the ball," Xiwen said.
"Well, Professor Slughorn invited me to join the club at that time. Because I didn't have a dress, I became the 'focus' at the ball." She said lightly. "Later, he gave me that dress for Christmas. Speaking of which,
I’m quite grateful to him.”
Xiwen himself has never experienced the embarrassment of being looked at in a strange way because of what he wears. But if you think about it, it should be extremely uncomfortable.
Xiwen wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that he had no comfort skills, so he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
"So, as a pure pure-blood noble, are you still willing to make friends with me, a witch from a poor family?" Miranda did not notice Sivan's movements, but just squeezed out a slightly stiff smile and asked
road.
"I'm different from those pure Slytherins. I was almost assigned to Ravenclaw!" Sivan said with a fake smile.
Miranda laughed out loud, her mood became cheerful, and said: "Ravenclaw will not accept a lazy little wizard like you."
Then she regained her serious expression and said to Xiwen: "The prefects and student union presidents will receive subsidies, which will make my life a lot easier. So now you know how important your information is to me!"
Xiwen nodded with emotion and finally thought of a very effective way to comfort him.
"So, publish a book!" He said enthusiastically. "I can be your investor and publish your 'Book of Spells'!"
"I can guarantee that this book will definitely be selected as the textbook for Hogwarts next year!"
