After writing her reply, Hallie told the Dursleys that she was going out for a week.

When Aunt Vernon heard the news, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

After all, he didn't want to refuse Maggie Dursley, the older sister who almost single-handedly pulled him up.

……

When she woke up the next morning, Harley saw a mountain of birthday presents piled up in her room.

What intrigued her was that the topmost birthday present seemed to have a living character, constantly struggling, and making loud biting sounds.

Harley opened the gift first, her hands covered in black flames.

This method is very useful, as the contents of the package seem to sense the danger, and the movement of the activity is much smaller in an instant.

Harley quickly opened the package and found a book inside.

On the beautiful green cover of the book is the golden title, "The Book of Monsters of the Monsters".

Hallie scrutinized the book.

Suddenly, the book opened its pages and bit at Harley as if it were opening its mouth.

But it stopped in mid-air, wrapped in a layer of black flames.

The Monster Book of the Monsters fell straight from Hallie's eyes, slamming into the floor and tumbling wildly.

It was still in a state of flipping, as if it wanted to wail, but the sound was muffled by an unknown force.

Hallie was half-lying in her chair, admiring the horror of the book.

After about five minutes, Harley hooked her finger slightly, and the flame was extinguished instantly.

A spider silk tied the book and dragged it back into Harry's hand.

Harley looked at the book in her hand again, reaching out and stroking its green writing.

With the swipe of Hallie's fingertips, the book in her hand seemed to want to curl up, but there was nothing she could do, she could only tremble.

"Sure enough, items with living characteristics are easy to deal with."

Hallie seemed to be talking to herself, but her voice could be heard by the living creatures in the room,

"I guess you're going to be obedient and won't give me trouble, will you?"

"The Book of Yokai of the Monsters" very spiritually stopped the irregular trembling and began to shake at a certain frequency, as if nodding.

"That's good," Harley tossed the book on the table, and it slid under the side of Hedwig's cage.

The little snowy owl glanced at the book below with pity and shook her head.

Why do you have to offend your master? Except for finding yourself unhappy, there is no point at all.

Harley put the book down and looked at the package again.

Inside the package was a greeting card with Hagrid's crooked lettering, congratulating himself on his birthday and telling him that he would use the book next semester.

"Hagrid is going to be the professor of Magical Beasts conservation?" Harley looked up at the window,

"By the way, it seems that the professors said in their chats that Professor Kettle Byrne is retiring, and he only has one arm and one leg left.

The matter of the Slytherin heir last semester was also pushed to Lockhart, so Hagrid's charges were cleared, and the audit of serving as a professor could be passed. ”

Somehow, Hallie suddenly wanted to sigh.

Based on Hagrid's personality and the strange book he had just sent in about a textbook, Harley had a bad feeling about the next semester's Protecting Magical Beasts class.

Putting the matter aside, Harley continued to open the birthday present. Compared to Hagrid's birthday present, everyone else's is more normal.

Hermione gave Hallie a set of clothes made in France, as if it were some well-known Muggle brand.

But look at the style of the clothes...... Harley shook her head, feeling that it didn't particularly match the witch's style.

Professor Dumbledore gave him a notebook with an interesting title on it—

Essay on the Study of the Patronus Charm - Reflections on Love, Friendship and Happiness.

According to the greeting card that came with the book, Professor Dumbledore thought he would use the spell next semester, so he sent the notebook.

Professor Slughorn gave himself a vial of potion, what appeared to be his homemade potion to nourish his skin.

Professor Slughorn also hinted in the greeting card that he could teach Harley how to boil the potion if she wanted to.

"Heh, would my dignified witch be attracted to such an ordinary potion? I'm just interested in potions knowledge! ”

Harley muttered inwardly, carefully putting away the potion.

After unwrapping a number of gifts, Harry was surprised to find that Professor McGonagall had given himself a gift.

In addition to a letter announcing the start of the school year, a book list, and permission to visit Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall also sent an invitation and a Transfiguration notebook as a birthday present.

This is an invitation to Professor McGonagall's own Transfiguration Club.

According to Professor McGonagall, only gifted young wizards receive invitations in their third year.

In the club, Professor McGonagall will teach the members more about the elevation of the nature of the matter.

Professor McGonagall wants Hallie to join the club and read the notes before school starts.

"Transfiguration Club? You can go and participate. The Transfiguration course is too simple now, and the potential of Transfiguration should be more than that. ”

Harley pondered, taking the application form and going downstairs.

Anyway, it's not too hard to get Aunt Penny to sign it, so there's no need to waste materials to set up the ceremony and sign it yourself.

Because Harley used a little bit of rhetoric before, she said that she took the initiative to go out for a week in order to take care of Dursley's face.

When the time comes, Professor Dumbledore will take him away.

So Aunt Penny was also very face-saving and signed her name directly on the application form.

……

Three days later, Professor Dumbledore arrived as promised and took Harley to the Sir Merlin's Order.

Harley distinctly heard Aunt Vernon, who was hiding in the kitchen, muttering:

"Penny, didn't you say that the old man named Dumbledore was the greatest wizard in the wizarding world? Why does he run here every year?

Or is it called Hogg...... The headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is so idle? ”

The corners of Harry's mouth twitched slightly, and she was suddenly a little curious, is Headmaster Dumbledore so idle?

Or is he an old man who pays special attention to himself, an ordinary, featureless, pure and immaculate witch of primordial, joy, pain, despair, and immortality?

Professor Dumbledore's face was as usual, and he didn't know if he heard it.

"Are you ready, Hallie?" Professor Dumbledore smiled and looked at Harry,

"Let's go to the Leaky Cauldron first, where Professor Slughorn is waiting for us."

……

After a long journey, the trio finally arrived at the Ministry of Magic.

This time, it wasn't Crouch who was waiting outside the door of the apparition room, it was Fudge.

……

……

(Thank you for the reward from the nine-tailed Yan Fox and the blue star of the cat!) ）
