Bidding farewell to Professor Kettleburn, Shevin walked to the lawn in the center of the castle's teaching area.

Speaking of the new semester, I just met Miranda on the train in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask her how the manuscript fee for the Book of Spells was, and how was her life recently? After thinking that the notes for this school year had not been borrowed, Xiwen decided to go to her for a set.

Through the small door on the northwest side of the castle into the corridor of the teaching area, through the tall stone pillars on the side of the corridor, you can see that even on weekends, many Ravenclaw students are still studying on the lawn, very hard.

Miranda was also on the lawn of the teaching area, leaning lazily against a stone pillar in the distance, intently reading a hardcover book.

It seems that because the Book of Spells, which has become a bestseller in the country, has provided her with ample manuscript fees, Miranda's life is no longer as stretched as she once described to Xiwen, and now she has the money to dress up.

Today, Miranda wears the delicate metal glasses that Shevin gave him at Christmas, her light gray hair draped diagonally over her shoulders, and while she concentrates on reading, she occasionally uses her left hand to unconsciously stroke the ends of her hair that are scattered on her chest.

She was wearing a brand new school uniform robe lined with a white women's shirt. The blue striped tie and the azure collar of the school uniform complement Miranda's warm blue eyes.

Her lower body was also dressed in a blue checkered Scottish-style skirt, revealing two white calves that were close together. The brand-new school gown was unbuttoned, slumped lazily at the sides of her calves, almost hanging on the green grass as she leaned against the stone pillar.

Miranda didn't notice it, just intently reading the book in her hand.

Xiwen walked half around the corridor, leaned to the left of the stone pillar where Miranda was, and turned his head to look at the book in her hand.

"Advanced Spellcasting? Professor Hicks' book? Xiwen asked curiously when he saw the title of the book on the header.

Miranda tilted her head slightly, glanced at Xiwen beside her, and said, "Is Yulari Hicks a professor?" How does your tone look like you know the author? ”

"She's the Charms professor at Yinfamorny." Xiwen said to Miranda with a smile. "Don't you know? Professor Hicks had been to Hogwarts once last semester, when she was in the Great Hall. ”

"Really?" Miranda finally couldn't hold it anymore and turned her head to look at Xiwen. "I've wanted to see her for a long time, why don't you call me when she comes!"

"The problem is, I didn't know you were reading this book at the time......" Xiwen said innocently.

"Oh, yes. I started reading this book near the end of this summer. Miranda said with some depression. It's a shame. If only I could have a good conversation with her, maybe I would be able to write a second edition of The Book of Spells. ”

Speaking of the second edition of the Book of Spells, Xiwen immediately became energetic and asked, "Which publishing house will you release the second edition of the Book of Spells to?" ”

"What other publisher could be treated better than yours?" Miranda rolled her eyes and said to Xiwen. "During the summer vacation, many bookstores and publishing houses sent me letters to ask me, and I looked through the share they gave to the author, and I felt that the person who decided to share your publishing house was like a fool. How else would I get that much? ”

"Who do you say is a fool?" A black line appeared on Xiwen's face, and he said angrily. "You're not happy to give you a high score, are you?"

"Sure enough, I knew it was you!" Miranda laughed briskly and looked at Xiwen and said.

"The share you gave me has really completely alleviated my family's financial embarrassment, and I can now study without worries thanks to your help. I really appreciate you! ”

"Hey, don't say that!" Xiwen waved his hand and said. "Do business, everyone takes what they need."

Miranda looked at the hard-mouthed Xiwen, smiled a little more happily, hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "So, how can I find another publishing house?" ”

Xiwen nodded in satisfaction and said to Miranda, "In that case, then I actually have a way to contact Professor Hicks. ”

"Really?" Miranda said incredulously. "You must know that this author is in the magnesium country, and it is basically impossible for an owl to send a letter or something."

"Of course it's not the low-level way of sending letters from owls!" Shevin stood up and pulled out a mirror with a phoenix frame from the pocket watch space.

Xiwen manipulated the mirror for a moment, and then he could see that the mirror looked like a page had been turned over, and Lemay's face appeared on the mirror.

"Hello, Xiwen." Lemay said with a smile. "Wouldn't it be nice to just come over as usual, why do you still use a double-way mirror?"

"Good morning, Monsieur Lemay!" Xiwen first said hello, and then asked. "I'd like to introduce a friend, can you?"

"Then hurry up and bring it here, the two of us just like this place is deserted!" Madame Lemay's face was also squeezed into the mirror, and she said kindly to Xiwen.

"Well, okay. Then we'll be there shortly! Xiwen nodded heavily and put away the two-way mirror.

Then Xiwen seemed to think of something, looked at Miranda and asked, "By the way, you don't have anything else to do today, right?" ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Miranda was rubbing her glasses in disbelief at this time, nodded a little sluggishly, and asked tremblingly, "That was just now...... Nicolas Lemay? ”

"Who else could there be if it wasn't him?" Xiwen said with a chuckle. "Come with me, we need to find a quiet place to get to Lemay's house."

Later, Sivin dragged Miranda, who was still a little incredulous, to the entrance courtyard, and then walked down the stairs that led to the castle dungeon.

Since it wasn't very early, there were occasional Slytherin wizards passing by the spiral staircase. They watched as Shiwen pulled a witch in a blue-collared school robe, and they all showed strange expressions.

Miranda felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly tapped her wand on her body, turning the blue on her clothes into green. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiwen watched Miranda's self-deception with some amusement, and was about to tease a few words.

Then he suddenly remembered the scene when he had secretly run to the Ravenclaw Tower. At that time, why didn't he take off his school robe and tie, and only wore a plain white shirt to dare to enter Ravenclawta?

So Xiwen silently dismissed the idea of teasing Miranda.

Dressed in green, Miranda finally stopped attracting the attention of the passing Slytherin wizards, and the two successfully arrived at the dungeon room belonging to the ghost Xiwen.

"Are you ready?" Xiwen closed the door and asked Miranda.

"Wait a minute." Miranda stopped Xiwen's movements, and then with some nervousness, she conjured a mirror with a summoning charm.

She straightened her hair in the mirror and changed her outfit back to Ravenclaw blue, then looked at Shevin and asked, "Am I okay now?" ”

"You're already beautiful, Miss Xueba!" Xiwen said with a smile in his eyes. "Lemay's friendly, you don't have to be so nervous."

Miranda breathed a sigh of relief and nodded solemnly to Xiwen.

Then, a golden circle of light lit up in the room.
