After a dinner party, the term came to an end and the young wizards boarded the Hogwarts Express back to King's Cross Station.

In order to prevent attracting the attention of Muggles, a maximum of three students were allowed to walk through the walls at a time.

Near the exit of the platform, there were also a number of Ministry of Magic employees dressed in Muggle costumes, who would modify the memories of Muggles who found anomalies if necessary.

After leaving Platform 93/4, Neville looked around the crowd, seemingly anxious, as he didn't see his grandmother.

Rove, who was carrying a small black suitcase, couldn't help but joke: "Neville, your grandmother won't find the wrong platform, right?" ”

"It's okay to find the wrong platform, I'm afraid she'll forget that I'm on vacation today." Neville wept with a sad face.

At this moment, an old lady was squeezed out of the crowd, dressed in a green robe, draped in a fox skin scarf, and wearing a pointed hat on her head, which was decorated with a large vulture, and in her hand a large red leather bag.

This dress immediately attracted everyone's attention, the red and green dress, which was originally very vulgar, plus the big vulture on the hat, was even more weird.

But the old lady walked with sonorous steps, and she wore a style of the times that went against the trend.

Even Hermione was stunned, staring at the big vulture, contemplating the state of mind of the wizard who made the hat at work.

"Grandma!" Neville shouted timidly.

The old lady snorted and walked straight towards the group, first at Neville, then at Rove and Hermione, and said kindly:

"Neville, is this your friend?"

Neville lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, my best friends......"

Mrs. Longbottom looked at Rove carefully, stretched out a withered hand, and said:

"I know you, Rov Scamander...... Kid, Neville wrote to say that you helped him a lot and spoke highly of you. ”

"Help each other, ma'am. I also learned a lot from Neville. Rove shook her hand.

"Rove, you're so humble, almost as humble as your grandfather Newt." Mrs. Longbottom looked down Neville with a stern look down her pointed nose, and she shook her head:

"Neville is a good boy, but without his magical talents, mediocre."

"Neville has a talent for herbalism, and Professor Sprout is particularly fond of him." Rove raised an eyebrow at Hermione and asked, "Isn't that right, Hermione?" ”

The girl, who was still staring at the big vulture, hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Mrs. Longbottom looked at Neville, who was blushing, and seemed a little surprised, and she held out her hand to Hermione again:

"You must be Hermione Granger, right?"

Hermione was surprised to hear Mrs. Longbottom's name, and shook her hand.

"Neville says you're the smartest witch she's ever seen, and you're both very good kids......"

Hermione blushed a little.

After a little chat, the men parted ways, with Mrs. Longbottom leading and Neville following behind, asking in a whisper, "Where are we going, Grandma?" ”

"St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Wizardry, you haven't been there in a long time, Frank and Alice miss you very much." Mrs. Longbottom paused and said:

"Your mom saved you a lot of Super Bubble Gum wrappers and hid them under your pillow."

"I ......" Neville clenched his hands into fists, his body tensed, and whispered, "I miss Mom and Dad too, I have a lot of school things...... Tell them. ”

Mrs. Longbottom's withered old face, which had no tears to shed, but it was so heartbreaking that she reached out and caressed Neville's head lovingly.

……

……

When Mrs. Longbottom and Neville were gone, Hermione was still staring at the big vulture, and she whispered:

"Mrs. Longbottom doesn't seem to be as terrible as Neville says, and she looks quite kind."

"That's because we're not her grandchildren and granddaughters." "A lot of elders are like that, they're kind to outsiders and their children," Rove explains. But I felt that Mrs. Longbottom loved Neville, but she was not good at expressing it. ”

"And what about your grandfather, Mr. Scamander?" Hermione wondered, "Is he kind?" ”

"It's not a matter of being kind or not, he's autistic." Rove thought for a moment and said, "He's a little more autistic than me. ”

“……”

Hermione found that she had been with Rove for so long that she almost didn't recognize the word "autism".

"By the way, Rove, I have something to ask you......"

Hermione's voice suddenly became very gentle, she took out a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" from her bag, handed it to Rove, folded her hands, and pleaded:

"Can you help me get an autograph...... Mr. Scamander's? ”

"No problem." Rove put the book away, and he smiled, "I'll sign it for you now?" ”

"Huh?" Hermione tilted her head in confusion.

"Didn't you ask for my autograph?" Rove pointed to his nose and said, "Isn't Rove Scamander Scamander?" ”

"I want Mr. Newt Scamander's autograph." Hermione pursed her lips, stared at Rove, and said angrily, "I don't want you!" ”

"Don't you really want me?" Rove said 'bitterly': "My handwriting is much better than my grandfather's? ”

Hermione laughed angrily at the appearance of the teenager, and she said categorically, "Don't! ”

"What are you doing so fiercely?" Rove sighed and said seriously, "Hermione, if you have a child in the future, he will probably go around saying to his classmates...... 'My mom is horrible', like Neville did." ”

“……”

"I'm going to die with you!"

Hermione tugged at Rove's clothes, as if she really wanted to kill him and then kill herself, but she suddenly stopped and ran towards a young woman.

The young woman seemed to be observing for a long time, and she looked at Rove, her curious look similar to the one Hermione had just stared at the big vulture on her hat...... It's exactly the same.

"Mom!" Hermione grinned, "Why are you alone, my dad?" ”

"Your dad went to park, it's really hard to find a parking space around here, and he didn't find a place for a long time."

The woman pushed away Hermione's furry head, which was deliberately blocking her vision, and she looked at Rove and smiled:

"Who is this?"

"Hello Auntie, I'm Hermione's classmate, and my name is Rove Scamander." Rove walked over and greeted him naturally and generously.

"Oh, you're Rove?" The woman looked the boy up and down and smiled, "Hermione mentioned you in the letter, and you are better looking than she described." ”

"Mom, what are you talking nonsense?" Hermione stamped her feet, blushed and gritted her teeth, "When did I say he was good-looking?" ”

"Well, you didn't say it, I said it, okay?" The woman grinned, "What were you two just doing?" What do I think you're bullying, Hermione? ”

"Mom, who bullied him? It's all he who bullied me! Hermione screamed, she glared at Rove, and said, "Who's bullying whom?" Say it quickly!! ”

"Auntie, Hermione really didn't bully me...... Didn't hit me either...... She ...... on weekdays It's not like ...... just now."

Rove had an 'aggrieved' expression on his face, as if he was forced to say something against his will because of Hermione's threat.

"Don't punish her when you go back...... Otherwise, she will go back to school...... Alas...... I'm used to it...... There's nothing to be afraid of anymore......"

Hermione: "......"

Seeing that Rove was getting darker and darker, the girl was so angry that her front teeth were about to be crushed.

After a little more talking, Rolf declined Hermione's mother's invitation and left alone with a small black suitcase.

Walking on the road, the woman said earnestly:

"Hermione, although Rove has a good personality and looks very honest, they are all classmates, you don't want to bully others casually in the future, you know? That's not good. ”

"......" Hermione wanted to say, where did Rove get involved with honesty?

"Hermione, what did Rove's parents do?" The woman sounded curiously.

"His mom was a teacher at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and his dad and grandfather had a similar profession to my dad."

"A dentist, too?"

"It's not."

"Doctor?"

"Fantastic Beast Conservationist!"

"Say a word you can understand."

Hermione grinned:

"Veterinarian!!"
