ALL NOVEL Chapter 20: Going Home
"I heard from Professor McGonagall that not many students decide to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas every year, but this year it looks a little different, there are so many empty compartments." Hermione held Crookshanks and looked around the interior of the train curiously, while Glenn followed behind with a suitcase in each hand after turning on his supersense.
As expected, he had to learn the Traceless Stretching Charm in the book as soon as possible. Although he was blind and didn't want the little girl to carry her heavy luggage, his well-trained body couldn't withstand the extremely thick books Hermione stuffed in the suitcase.
After several months of potion therapy, his body was no longer weak. Although the magic power in his body was not full due to the daily battles with Snape, he could still support it by turning on his supersense for an hour or two a day.
Glenn had several times more magic power reserves than his peers. In order to study and live a normal life, his magic power was never full.
"It is said that there is some kind of activity, and the professors seem to be planning something."
Glenn replied after putting down his luggage after finding an empty carriage.
Hermione took off her shoes, jumped into the sofa by the window with the cat, and curled up with it.
Glenn locked the door, sat next to her, and said helplessly:"Since Crookshanks came into being, your sleeping posture has become more and more like a cat. There were several times when I felt I couldn't breathe when I slept, and I ended up being woken up by you and Crookshanks resting your head on my chest. This is not a good habit."
Hermione kicked Glenn with her little feet in gray socks to protest, then stretched out her body and put her feet on his legs.
She stared at the ceiling of the box in a trance, muttering to herself:"I feel that these past few months have been so unreal. I inexplicably changed from a Muggle to a wizard, and I have learned so many magics that only appeared in my imagination before."
"Sometimes I really feel like I am different. Whether it is in the previous school or in Hogwarts, the magical history books I read contain a lot of discrimination against Muggle-born wizards like me."She glanced at Glenn and said softly,"I often wonder what would happen if you were not there to accompany me and let me spend these months in a strange and lonely way."
"I think I'll go crazy."
She looked at Glenn, who responded by looking back.
"Will you leave me in the future?"The little girl hugged the cat tightly and asked Glenn in a low voice.
Glenn didn't say anything, picked up Hermione gently, turned her around, and let her rest her head on his thighs.
"Never, unless you refuse"
"Hehe, how is that possible?" Hermione laughed foolishly.
Glenn drew the curtains and gently closed Hermione's eyes:"Don't think too much, I'm still here, take a rest, you were so excited yesterday that you almost didn't sleep all night."
""Yeah." The little girl covered her mouth with her hands, yawned, and responded softly, and soon fell asleep with the cat in her arms.
After she fell asleep, Glenn used a small amount of magic power to cast a calming spell he had researched for Hermione to prevent the outside world from affecting her and let her sleep more comfortably. Then he entered a meditative state.
"Never leave... huh?" Glenn didn't know what he felt when he said this, his heart was beating slightly.
"I can't figure it out." Glenn's fluctuating thoughts soon returned to calm.
The carriage became quiet, with only the girl and the cat's light snoring. A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, gently shining on the boy's pale face.
————Dirty!————
""Hermione, wake up, we're here." Glenn patted the little girl's face, trying to wake her up.
Hermione rubbed her eyes and sat up,"Ha~ Yawn~ I slept so comfortably, it's strange that I don't feel dizzy after sleeping for so long?"
After tidying up a little, Glenn turned on his super senses, carried the luggage and walked out of the train side by side with Hermione.
"How are we going to get back?" Hermione looked around and saw little wizards walking into the wall, but she was no longer surprised.
In this magical world, nothing is strange!
"Dumbledore has informed our parents that they should be waiting for us on the platform outside. Let's go, and remember not to mention my eye problem."
Glenn didn't want the adults to worry about something that didn't need to be worried about.
The two of them crashed into the wall together and appeared on the platform of King's Cross Station. Glenn turned around to remember the location where he came out, and heard Hermione beside him shouting happily.
""Mom and Dad!" She threw herself into the arms of the Grangers.
Her nose felt sore, her eyes turned red, and the little girl finally burst into tears. The grievance of not seeing her parents for several months finally broke out, and she buried her head in Mrs. Granger's clothes."Wow, wow, wow~ I miss you so much!"
Glenn watched Hermione and the others reunite silently, and felt a big hand pressing on his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw Mr. Hawthorne with his arms outstretched and blinking to imply something. Mrs. Hawthorne looked at him helplessly and amusedly, then smiled and said to Glenn,"Welcome home, Glenn."
Glenn looked speechlessly at his father who was looking at him expectantly, sighed, put down his luggage, and went forward to hug his parents.
I'm back"
……………………
This Christmas Eve was destined to be the most unforgettable.
Because of the heavy snow this year, the Granger family was blocked from going to Hermione's grandfather's house by the heavy snow, so they had to stay here for Christmas.
Glenn's grandmother was Chinese and said she would not celebrate foreign festivals.
She took Glenn's grandfather to live in China, so the Hawthorne family did not go back for Christmas.
The two families gathered together to enjoy a big meal after a long absence.
The adults on the side were eager to ask about their experiences in the wizarding world.
Glenn asked Hermione to demonstrate a few simple and harmless little spells with the old wand that Dumbledore had given her before, and gave those immature adults a good time. Their cheers made the little girl blush.���, the desire to perform that had been suppressed for several months was satisfied.
Glenn was watching the show and petting the cat on the side. The little guy was very sad when he saw Hermione drop the wand after getting it, so he had to humble himself and come to Glenn to seek comfort.
The orange cat turned its big butt, which had just begun to show its size, towards Glenn, and its eyes were still fixed on Hermione.
Crookshanks: You should be honored if I let you pet me, you know.
Glenn: I give you face, don’t I.
I have to say that the touch is really great, only a little bit worse than Hermione’s fluffy hair.
The family banquet lasted until almost midnight. The adults all went to bed, and the two little ones had rested enough on the train and were not tired at this time, so they decided to wait until after Christmas to rest.
"Light as a feather, power amplification. Glenn cast two simple spells on himself.
In the past few days, he had learned many simple magic circuit units by splitting spells, and reconstructed some simple gain spells.
"Wingardium Leviosa."Hermione cast a levitation spell on herself. Although the magic power was not enough to make her float, it could greatly reduce the earth's attraction to her.
Glenn picked up Hermione and jumped up to the roof of his house.
After lifting the spell, the two sat side by side on the eaves, admiring the clean night sky and chatting leisurely.
Glenn entered super sense, held Hermione's hand, and released"perspective sharing", allowing Hermione to use super sense through him. They saw that the adults in the house who kept saying that they were sleepy and slept secretly got up in the dark and put the gifts they had prepared under the Christmas tree. They were mysterious and seemed to think that they would not be discovered.
Sorry, sir, you can do whatever you want with magic.
Close your eyes, feel the breeze blowing in the evening, and listen to the ticking of the clock.
Tick, tick.
As the clock struck 12, Christmas is here.
In the dark night sky, the boy stretched out his finger.·
"Fluorescent light flashes. A faint ball of light appears at the fingertips, illuminating the faces of the two people.
""Merry Christmas, Hermione." The boy said seriously.
Hermione smiled like a flower, holding up her face, quietly looking at the boy's thin and pale, but extremely resolute face.
Glenn is really as calm as always, she thought
"Merry Christmas to you too, Glenn." the girl said happily.
