Ethan picked up Gabrielle, blaming his own soft heart.

"Give me your address, and I'll write to you. You can't not reply."

"Don't worry, I definitely will. Just send it to Hogwarts during school days. But can owls deliver letters across the sea?"

Ethan wasn't so sure. If it crashed, the owl would surely die.

"Yes, they can. My dad has even sent letters to Northern Europe with owls, and Britain is closer than Northern Europe."

Have to say, these owls are really awesome!

"Okay, as long as it's a letter from Fleur, I'll definitely reply."

Ethan also made a promise.

"And Gabrielle will write to her brother too!"

"Good!"

Another kiss.

Fleur simply ignored it. Ethan had visited several times, and every time, Gabrielle was all over him.

She was used to it now.

"I also prepared gifts for you."

Ethan then put a ruby necklace and a sapphire brooch on Fleur and Gabrielle.

"The necklace is an alchemical tool engraved with the Shield Charm. You can use it by inputting magic. Your family should have something similar, but I've strengthened this one with ancient runes."

? It's also a use of Eolhx, representing the antlers of a deer, symbolizing the hand that eliminates danger, which can greatly enhance defensive performance. Of course, it still cannot resist the Killing Curse, which can ignore Shield Charms.

"This brooch is engraved with Apparition. If you encounter something you can't handle, find a chance to leave."

Fleur probably can't Apparate yet. In Britain, you need to be seventeen to learn it, and the French Ministry of Magic should be about the same.

Both are defensive tools.

"I really like it!"

Fleur happily followed Gabrielle's example and pecked Ethan on the cheek.

They were about to separate soon, and it would be difficult to see each other for a while. Why suppress herself?

"Sister!"

Gabrielle exploded, staring at her sister with wide, unbelievable eyes.

"Next summer vacation, I'll travel to your place. Ethan, you'll host me, right!"

Fleur didn't even look at her sister, her eyes fixed on Ethan.

"Of course, no problem. Actually, I've already learned how to make Portkeys. When I've made them, I'll send them over to you."

This was also Ethan's gain from being with Nicolas Flamel during this time.

As for Apparition, Ethan couldn't manage spatial movement over the distance from Paris to London.

He still had to take a plane to get home.

"Great! We can meet when we're on vacation."

"Sister, take me with you then!"

Gabrielle was anxious. She hadn't even started school yet, and couldn't use the necklace and brooch Ethan gave her. Even if the Portkey didn't have a usage threshold, they definitely wouldn't let her hold it.

Fleur glanced at her. Take her along? A burden?

She was about to be in fifth grade, and there were three years until graduation. She would go directly to Britain to find Ethan then. Gabrielle, you just stay obediently in Beauxbatons!

Chapter 88: Visiting the Voray Family

August 21st, Evening!

Ethan, who had just arrived home, was faced with a large pile of letters handed over by the servants.

Before Ethan went to Hogwarts, he had instructed the servants at home to keep all letters sent by owls.

So, even though the servants were absolutely weirded out, they carefully put them away.

Ethan looked through a few letters. There were letters from the twins, Cedric, Harry, his roommates, Draco, and some other little wizards he had a good relationship with.

The twins and Cedric were inviting Ethan to stay at their homes for a while and introducing their inventions from this summer.

His roommates were just boringly complaining about not being able to cast spells, and then introducing interesting things from this summer, and asking when they could hang out.

Draco had sent several letters, asking if Ethan was home and when he would visit his house.

Harry was thanking Ethan because Ethan had helped him reconcile with his aunt's family, and he had a great summer, so he wanted to invite Ethan to visit the Dursleys. His aunt and uncle were also very welcoming about this.

But Harry, did you have to send a letter when you're so close?

You're both in Surrey, it's only a ten-minute bike ride away.

Next was replying to the letters. He gave a reply to everyone who had sent Ethan a letter.

The owls would be busy for the next few days, and then he would call Hermione and them to let them know that he had returned from France.

For the next three days, Ethan mainly stayed at home with his parents. School was starting again on the 28th, and he wouldn't see them for several months.

He took half a day in the middle to go to London.

He sat with Hermione and Cho Chang at a cafe outside for an afternoon, mainly talking about the summer, and of course, Ethan was the main target of the two girls' questions.

At the same time, he went to Knockturn Alley and picked up Onyxia. Onyxia seemed particularly excited when they met and slobbered all over Ethan's face.

When he left, it was still a little guy with a body length of just over two meters. He didn't expect that in these fifty days, it had directly swelled to five meters. According to the two-year maturity of dragons, it was still a three-month-old baby.

In the future, there might be a chance to exceed twenty meters. Under normal circumstances, the Hebridean Black Dragon is thirty feet long, which is just a little less than ten meters, and the Ukrainian Ironbelly, as the largest dragon, is only fifteen or sixteen meters.

And it could already fly stably. When Ethan left, Onyxia could only flap its wings and couldn't fly at all.

Ethan had tried riding on its back, and it flew pretty well, quite stable, but unfortunately, he didn't unlock the Dragon Knight achievement.

After greeting Dennis and the others, Ethan stored Onyx and Nagini back into the box.

When they parted, Ethan saw tears of reluctance in the eyes of Dennis and his friends.

It wasn't until he received a letter from Cassandra that Ethan prepared to leave, fulfilling his promise.

He couldn't use Apparition to reach a place he had never been before.

He either had to find a merchant in the black market who specialized in transportation or use Muggle means of travel.

In the end, Ethan chose the Muggle way, taking a plane to Exeter in Devon, where he would find a place to meet.

Flying only took an hour or so, which was quite convenient, and he could also keep track of his location.

Using the fireplace and Floo Powder would be useless since he wasn't familiar with the area and wouldn't know where he was.

It seemed like many famous wizards resided in Devon.

Nicolas Flamel had mentioned that he also had a residence there, where he had lived for a while, but eventually returned to France.

After retiring, Newt Scamander also lived here with his wife and pets, though it was likely that the British Ministry of Magic didn't welcome him much.

Speaking of which, should I buy a house here? I can't afford a manor or a castle, but a regular house should be fine. However, I spend most of my time at Hogwarts, and there are no other wizards in my family, so it would be a bit of a waste!

Along the Exe River, Ethan successfully met Cassandra at the location she provided.

"Cassandra, you've become even more beautiful!"

Ethan gave her a hug upon meeting, noting she was still as flat as ever!

When will you grow to the size of your mother?

But she had grown taller, and her long legs were very appealing.

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me!"

Cassandra snorted proudly, but didn't push Ethan away. After being apart for so long without any contact, she had missed him a lot.

After a moment, they separated and walked hand-in-hand along the Exe River towards Cassandra's manor.

Her family's manor wasn't far from here, but it was surrounded by Muggle Repelling Charms, making it invisible to Muggles.

"Let me tell you, my mother is angry. She said you promised to visit our home, but you made her wait so long that the summer vacation is almost over."

"Also, my mother found out about me taking the Fire Shield Charm and Gurdyroot Fire from home last time, knowing it was for you."

"Really?"

"Of course, but she forgave you after I persuaded her."

"I owe you a great deal. This is a gift for you."

It was a necklace and brooch similar to those of Fleur and Gabrielle Delacour. Of course, he had also given them to Hermione and Cho Chang when he met them. For Ethan, they were wholesale products, with a 100% success rate whenever he had the time.

Cassandra excitedly put them on, unable to hide the smile on her face.

Although they were wholesale products, the effect was still good, wasn't it?

It's just that Hogwarts has Anti-Apparition charms, which greatly reduced the brooch's usefulness.

Next, Ethan began to tell Cassandra about his experiences in France, focusing on Nicolas Flamel's alchemy cottage and his studies, glossing over the other events.

But Cassandra still caught the main point.

Halfway through, Cassandra's face, which had been beaming with smiles, instantly turned cold.

"So, is Fleur Delacour, that Veela hybrid, very beautiful?"

As a pure-blood, she naturally knew about Veelas. Some families even kept Veelas, and she had seen them at pure-blood parties.

They were displayed by the hosts as a show of pride. These creatures were extremely beautiful and had an astonishing allure. Even her own father had been captivated by them, but her mother had forcefully suppressed him. As for what a Veela hybrid was like, Cassandra didn't know.

But she knew Ethan's aesthetic standards. He couldn't stand anything ugly.

Moreover, he could hook up with foreign girls just by going to study alchemy. It was too much.

"Very beautiful!"

Ethan nodded honestly.

Like Hermione and the others, she was too good at grasping the main point.

The first question wasn't about Nicolas Flamel and his alchemy cottage, but about Fleur.

But I, Ethan, should be open and fearless in this life.

There's no point in hiding anything; they'll meet sooner or later.

"Hmph!"

Cassandra snorted coldly, and her hand, which had been holding Ethan's, had moved to his waist and twisted him one hundred and eighty degrees.

Now he's not satisfied with just Hogwarts; he's finding girls at Beauxbatons. He's really making progress!

If she doesn't restrain him, will he also find them at Durmstrang and Ilvermorny in the future?

Africa, Asia, a gathering of all races, just thinking about it is terrifying!

It seems that she should have a good talk with them after school starts and not let things continue like this.

Arriving at the manor's entrance, Cassandra once again took Ethan's hand and walked inside.

She didn't need to hide anything at home, as her mother had already made it clear that she would support her. As for her father, her mother had suppressed him, and he couldn't make any waves.

"You weren't lying; this manor is really big."

Unlike the Delacour family's manor, which was filled with flowers and various decorations, Cassandra's manor was simple and grand, but the land area was huge.

"Of course I wasn't lying. I invited you to come, but you didn't."

Cassandra still remembered that she had invited Ethan during Christmas, but he had refused.

It still takes my mother to take action.

"Well, I'm here now, aren't I?"

Walking along the stone floor, they arrived at the front door, where Cassandra's parents, Amos Vane and Belinda Vane, were waiting.

Especially Cassandra's mother, who was extremely enthusiastic, ignoring her daughter and pulling Ethan inside.
