After Malfoy and the others drifted away, Ian looked at the black lake in front of him and suddenly said: "This is a good place for fishing."

After hearing this, Hermione also stared at the lake and suddenly said curiously:

"Fishing? I always thought it was a hobby of middle-aged men. My father likes fishing very much. But I heard Neville said that there is actually a huge squid hidden in the black lake. I don't know if it is true. Anyway, I never seen it."

"Of course it is true, and it is said that this big squid is Gryffindor, one of the four founders, and the squid is his Animagus form. When he was old, he chose to live as a squid. Protecting Hogwarts in the Black Lake, and still do to this day.”

Ian also explained to Hermione in a sighing tone, but he really didn't know whether the squid was Gryffindor himself. It was just discussed by some people in the previous life and then it was agreed upon.

"Is it fake? It's been more than a thousand years ago... How can a squid live for such a long time?" Hermione was obviously frightened and said in disbelief.

Seeing the surprised and cute expression of the girl in front of him, Ian couldn't help but want to rub her little head. Fortunately, he still had sense, so he restrained himself at the last moment.

"Hahahaha, is true or false so important? And magic is meant to create miracles. Just like you, Hermione, before you received the Hogwarts admission notice, and a classmate suddenly told you about magic, you would choose Do you believe it?"

Because Ian didn't know whether Squid's statement was correct, he didn't give Hermione a positive answer. Instead, he cleverly bypassed the question and let Hermione find the answer on his own.

"That's true...magic creates miracles, Ian, I like this saying."

Sure enough, Hermione seemed to have the answer at this moment and stopped asking further.

Hermione gently pulled up her long hair and smoothed down the strands of hair that had been blown around her ears by the cool breeze. Her inadvertently revealed flirtatious look always made Ian sigh that girls in Europe and the United States do develop very quickly.

"Huh? Suet-fat jade?" Ian suddenly noticed with a startled glance that Hermione was wearing a gold-inlaid jade necklace with an oriental charm today.

Perhaps he was afraid that Hermione wouldn't understand the word, so Ian could only use another word to express it: "Is this kind of gemstone sold in London? I don't remember you wearing this necklace last time."

Suddenly, Hermione blushed a little and said in confusion: "This belongs to my dormitory friends. They insisted on letting me wear it... They thought I was going out on a date today..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, until the last few words, even as sharp as Ian, could not hear them clearly.

But fortunately, he heard all the previous content clearly. Ian felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. If it was for no other reason, it was probably like the kind of daughter who didn't have a new Barbie doll and had to borrow a classmate's doll to play with.

"Hermione, consider this your early Christmas gift."

As Ian spoke, he reached for his collar and took out the alchemy tool Dumbledore had given him, an obsidian pendant carved into the shape of a wolf's tooth.

"Isn't this... very precious?" Hermione looked at Ian's sudden move and was a little overwhelmed. Although she didn't know much about the prices of gemstones, she still knew the basic common sense.

She was really amazed by the radiant obsidian necklace in front of her, which was engraved with many ancient runes and exuded a dazzling light. Not to mention that this necklace is surrounded by magical energy. Close contact always makes her feel at ease, so it goes without saying that it must be worth a lot of money.

"Take it, Dumbledore once gave it to me, but now I want to give it to you. No matter how precious an item is, it is not as precious as a human being."

Ian's original intention in saying this was to tell the other party that the mission of defensive alchemy items was to protect lives, but obviously Hermione seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Then...okay! I will give you a gift in return on Christmas." Sure enough, after hearing what Ian just said, Hermione suddenly stopped refusing. She took the pendant with a blush on her cheeks and immediately put it on her body. .

Ian found that Hermione didn't seem to realize that this was an alchemy tool, so he could only say again:

"This is actually an alchemy item. When it is attacked, it will automatically release an armor spell. Do you know this spell? It can help you avoid most of the damage. I didn't want to tell you this originally because I was afraid that you would rely on it. It’s taking risks.”

When Ian said this, he paused deliberately and continued: "I never underestimate the adventurous spirit of any Gryffindor, but in the end I still don't want to hide anything from you, so promise me not to take risks."

In fact, Ian did not give away this prop out of curiosity. The date was approaching Halloween. Although Dumbledore had planned it, he was always afraid of something unexpected, otherwise Ian would really regret it. The giant monster would be terrible. It's not a creature for looks, and Hermione's cuteness is of no use to it.

And with his current strength, these alchemy props are really useless to him. If he encounters something that he can't handle, even this extra prop will be useless.

Of course, the main thing is that Dumbledore originally gave him two props to release the Iron Armor Curse, a ring and a pendant.

Ian only planned to keep one to deal with some emergencies. To put it bluntly, he was mainly preparing for Muggle thermal weapons.

With the existence of such an instant defensive item, it can give him a lot of buffer time so that he will not be caught off guard. As for the wizard? Ian is not worried at all. His strength after awakening his magic power this time is not something that others can look down upon.

"Well, thank you, Ian. Don't worry, I won't take risks, I will always wear the necklace..." At this moment, Hermione looked at Ian with her unique brown eyes, and said in an unusually sure tone.

At the same time, Hermione carefully put the necklace into her collar and pressed it gently with her little hands, as if it would disappear if she was not careful.
