Although they had studied the Nymph's magic books all the way and found nothing, Ryan and Hermione were not discouraged. After all, this is the crystallization of a part of the knowledge of a secondary deity, and it would be very strange to be able to research something in a short period of time.

After packing their luggage, everyone walked out of the platform, where their families were already waiting.

After saying goodbye to Hermione, Ryan got into his family's car.

"Dad, why didn't you drive the family sports car. Ryan was a little puzzled, because his mother wrote to him that his father preferred to drive a sports car when he went out now. So it was a little strange for Ryan to see his father driving the family's original SUV.

"I wanted to too, but it snowed today. The sports car chassis was too low, and I was worried that it would be scratched. Mr. Lambert shrugged his shoulders a little depressedly.

When he got home, it was naturally his mother's chatter, but Ryan felt very warm. After dinner, Ryan gave his parents the gift he bought in Brazil. After all, not everything in Mahogany Town is reserved for wizards, and Ryan buys a lot of gifts that people who can't do magic can use.

Some of the wood carvings in the local Aboriginal style were very popular with my father, while my mother preferred the purple propolis produced by a local magical bee. But they all praise a porcelain sheen, and Ryan knows that this coffee cultivation requires magic, and the coffee beans grown are more refreshing than coffee beans after special treatment, but without the damage caused by the caffeine in ordinary coffee beans.

After a night of happy chatting, Ryan finally returned to his familiar bed and slept soundly. The next morning, he was woken up by the sound of a knock on the windowpane.

"Oh my God, Christmas doesn't give you a good rest, who the hell is. Thinking of this, Ryan jumped out of bed onto the wooden floor and looked out the window, only to see that there was nothing outside the window.

"Could it be that I was so tired from going out this time that I hallucinated?" Ryan was thinking. Suddenly, the voice of his father, Mr. Lambert, came from outside: "Hey, son, hurry up and take a look, this seems to have something for you." ”

Lane quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs to the hallway facing the door, and as soon as he opened the door, the cold temperature outside made him shiver involuntarily.

"Here. His father greeted him with a hand with thick gloves. "I was just clearing the snow in my yard when I saw this bird fall out of your window. I watched it grab a letter and wondered if someone had written to you?" and he handed over something like a gray feather duster.

"This feather duster is a little familiar. Ryan thought about taking something from his father: a fainted owl and a letter with the names of Fred Weasley and George Weasley on the envelope.

"The Weasley owl really should be replaced, and Errol is looking even worse now than last year. Ryan hurried back to his room, asked his mother to borrow a basket, put Errol in it, and placed it by the fireplace, and unfolded the letter.

The letter began with the twins' greetings to him, and then told him that because they had been caught by their mother during an experiment, it was not appropriate to send them materials and materials now. It just so happened that Ginny was going to visit Hermione tomorrow, and they could take advantage of the opportunity to visit Ryan and bring some things home with them.

At the end of the letter, the twins said that if Ryan was available, they would write back to them as soon as possible.

Ryan glanced at the wilting owl curled up in the basket and thought that the weather might really kill it if it went to deliver a letter.

The parents welcomed Ryan's friend's visit, especially when they learned that the friend who came to visit was the child of the Ministry of Magic official who had been guiding Ryan at home. After all, Mr. Weasley made a good impression on his family.

Her mother, Sally, said she had been worried about whether Ryan would be a little withdrawn at school and had no friends, and it was good news to have classmates visiting her home.

So after eating, Ryan wrote a reply and braved the snowflakes in the sky to Hermione's house to ask her to borrow an owl.

Rang the doorbell and the door opened, just as Hermione had opened.

"Ryan, is there anything wrong with you coming over so early?"

"I'd like to borrow your Hermes for a bit, because I'm going to send a message back to the Weasley twins, and their Errol doesn't seem to be able to deliver any more. ”

"I know this, and the twins should come with Ginny tomorrow. You can come in and have a cup of tea and wait, I'll send Hermes with me when I've finished writing my reply to Ginny. ”

After wiping the slush off his shoes on the non-slip mat at the door, Ryan walked into Hermione's house. The overall style of her home tends to be cool, with the walls painted pale blue and the furniture in a similar color.

In the living room, the gray sofa is arranged in an L-shape, with a small coffee table in the middle. There is a fireplace on the wall further on, for example, there are bookshelves on both sides, and they are full of books. There were small picture frames here and there with pictures of Hermione and her family.

Later, Ryan sat on the couch and drank a cup of black tea, watching Hermione sit at the table in the small dining room next to her, writing letters.

"Why are you the only one at home for Christmas?" asked Ryan, a little strangely.

"It wasn't the last time we went on a treasure hunt and made some money, my parents decided to expand their dentist office, and today the renovation workers said that there was a problem in one place, so they rushed over. Hermione said as she wrote the letter.

"Can you still find a renovation worker for Christmas?" Ryan was shocked, he had lived in England for so many years and had never seen a worker who could work overtime during the holidays during a non-emergency situation, except for the house-elves, of course.

"These people were hired by your compatriots in Chinatown, or were they introduced by your father. After paying overtime, I was more active than my parents. That way, I guess my parents' dentist office will be open when the Christmas holidays are over. ”

Soon Hermione finished writing the letter and hung her own letter and Ryan's letter on her owl's leg, after which Ryan carried the owl out of the shelf to the window and released it, feeling that the owl seemed to be fatter than when he bought it.

The owl quickly disappeared into the gray sky, and Ryan took the opportunity to say goodbye to Hermione and go home.

The next morning, at the sound of cars, the Weasley twins got out of an old-fashioned turquoise Ford Anglia and knocked on the door of Lane's house.

"Huh, your father sent you here?" Ryan asked as he opened the door and invited the Weasley twins in, looking at the people in the car behind them that was slowly moving away.

"Of course, our mother didn't feel comfortable bringing our lovely sister to London. ”

"It just so happened that our father was going to work overtime today, so he asked him to drive us over, and now he takes our sister Ginny to Hermione, and then takes us back when we get home at noon. ”

The twins replied one by one, and Ryan led them to the living room to make a cup of tea for each of them. Today, Ryan's parents went shopping on the commercial street in order to make room for their son, and Ryan was the only one in the family.

"Okay, tell me where you're doing now?" Ryan asked after everyone sat down on the living room couch.
