"Then we made an agreement...you will take the train home with me tomorrow. My parents will pick us up at the station."

Hermione said to Ian with a happy face.

After saying goodbye to Hermione after a brief exchange, Ian went straight to the principal's office on the eighth floor.

Due to a temporary change in plans, he had to ask Dumbledore for the Phoenix's blood today. Originally, he had planned to ask Dumbledore for the blood of the Phoenix on Christmas Day.

Everything went well, and Ian came out of the principal's office, holding a small bottle of bright and bright Phoenix blood, as well as a dozen books written by Nico, and the precious manuscript on the research and use of the magic stone.

And Dumbledore didn't ask anything about the purpose of the blood.

"This damn trust, why don't you ask..."

He was a little at a loss for Dumbledore's unconditional trust. He didn't want to owe anyone anything. This was his principle.

Even if Tom was exposed before, it was all for utilitarianism, and mostly to get Dumbledore's help. In a sense, it was considered a business.

But later, Dumbledore also reciprocated, with the Philosopher's Stone, the infinitely extendable backpack, the alchemical protective items, and now the Phoenix blood, as well as the precious book manuscripts of Nico Flamel.

The Philosopher's Stone, in particular, was crucial to his help, fundamentally solving the problem of Ian's lifespan when he traveled between two realms.

"Forget it, at most I will take away your wand from now on and quietly send you to the Nurmengard Tower so that you can spend a happy old age..."

After gathering his divergent thoughts, Ian walked briskly back to the dormitory to sort out his belongings.

After all, I will be out for 15 days this time, so I must carry the infinitely extendable backpack with me, and many of the corresponding items cannot be reduced. After all, the time to return to the end of the world is approaching soon.

After a night of silence, the next morning, Ian and Hermione came to the train platform in Hogsmeade again, and then took the Hogwarts Express back to London together.

The girls seemed a little excited along the way and chatted non-stop with Ian. Unlike when school started, everyone had to take the train and the carriage always seemed crowded.

Now, thanks to a large number of people choosing to stay in Hogwarts, he and Hermione also fully enjoyed the benefits of being less crowded. There were only two of them in the entire compartment, and no unknown person holding a toad came to interfere during this period. …

"So, you want to publish a novel?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Yes, I made an appointment with my roommate this time, and I plan to discuss this issue with the publisher during the holidays." Ian actually took this opportunity to tell Hermione that he had other things to do during the Christmas holiday.

"You didn't even mention this to me before..." Hermione suddenly became angry and lightly kicked Ian with her foot.

Faced with this situation, he already had an answer in his mind.

"Of course it's to surprise you. After the novel is published successfully, the first printed copy will be signed by me. Wouldn't it be more memorable?"

After hearing Ian's explanation, Hermione suddenly said with a wandering look in her eyes: "Okay... Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just curious to ask about the first book or something, it doesn't matter..."

After a pleasant chat, you can never feel the passage of time, and you may even find that time is not enough...

This was the case for Ian and Hermione. When the train arrived at the station, Hermione was obviously still a little unfinished. As a last resort, he could only interrupt softly:

"Okay, now it's time to pack up and get off the car. We still have a lot of time to chat during the holidays in the future."

"Okay, you're right." Hermione nodded, also picked up her backpack and walked off the train with Ian.

When they walked out of the platform, they saw Mr. Granger and Mrs. Granger already waiting outside.

After Hermione saw her parents who had been separated for a long time, she ran over quickly, and the Grangers also opened their arms and hugged their daughter who had been away from home for several months.

Ian followed behind, looking at this happy scene with some emotion. When he thought about the later period of the original work, for the safety of her parents, the girl had to cast the Forgetting Curse on them with her own hands, thus completely erasing her existence.

He secretly decided that if Dumbledore really couldn't tell the truth in the end, even if he did it himself, he wouldn't let Hermione go through that pain again. With the phoenix and dozens of cubic gold, he can finally take Hermione and her family around the world.

Perhaps seeing that Ian was a little quiet alone, Mr. Granger let go of his daughter, stretched out his right hand and said kindly:

"Welcome Ian, please allow me to call you that. Hermione told us in her letter. Thank you very much for taking care of her at school."

"Mr. Granger, please don't be polite. I should be thanking you for the invitation, and Hermione and I are friends. I don't think that is care, so you don't need to thank me for anything."

Ian said as he also extended his hand to shake Mr. Granger's hand as a gesture of friendship.

"Okay, gentlemen, I think we should get ready to leave. When you get home, you two can have a good exchange of gentlemanly etiquette." Mrs. Granger joked from the side. "Ian, you are welcome to be my guest. You are even more handsome than Hermione described you to me."

When Ian heard this, he also looked at Mrs. Granger. She had the same brown hair and a face that was somewhat similar to Hermione's, but her facial features were not as delicate and three-dimensional as Hermione's.

However, the personalities of mother and daughter are very consistent, and they both belong to the type who dare to speak and act. For example, Mrs. Granger didn't care at all at the moment that her daughter's face was so red that she was bleeding.

They didn't care, but Ian couldn't ignore Hermione's feelings and could only change the subject at the moment.

"Mrs. Granger, thank you for your invitation. As you said, it's time for us to set off. The fatigue along the way makes me really want to find a place to have a good rest."

"You're right, come with me. The car is parked in the parking lot opposite." After saying this, Mr. Granger turned around and led the way.

Ian looked at the Grangers walking in front and breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the girl would be thin-skinned and it would be bad if she got angry.

But it seemed that the other party didn't appreciate it. Just when he was relaxing, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his lower back. Hermione gently twisted her hand on his waist and quickly ran to her parents' side.

Looking at the girl's ungrateful behavior, there was nothing she could do. She sighed and could only keep up with the pace ahead.
