"Tonks is so pitiful." Hermione said on the bus. "You know what? Lupin has been avoiding her recently. She has hinted so many times but there is no response."

Thinking of herself, Hermione felt a lot of sympathy for Tonks's experience. Ryan could only defend Lupin: "You have to know that Lupin is old, but Tonks is still young. The most important thing is that Lupin is a werewolf, and he thinks his love will bring all kinds of troubles to the woman."

"Ah..." Hermione sighed. "It's good to be rational, but Tonks is not just impulsive. I talked to her and found that she has considered this very comprehensively. Lupin is a bit like you in this respect. From a certain perspective, he does hope that others can live a better life. But both of you are too arbitrary and never consider other people's inner wishes."

"I'm changing it, aren't I?" Ryan knew what to do. It would be foolish to talk back at this time. "Besides, Lupin has softened his attitude after finding a job. I think he will agree to Tonks in the end. Didn't you see that Tonks is not in bad spirits? Her hair was pink, which symbolizes happiness."

"I hope so." Hermione smiled.

There was a bit of traffic on the road, so it took more than an hour for them to arrive at Granger's house. After opening the door, Ryan found that his parents and the Grangers were sitting in the restaurant drinking tea. And judging from their expressions, they must have communicated well before.

Then it was time for Ryan to be criticized. The four parents unanimously criticized him for acting too early and cheating Hermione away when she was so young. In fact, they had seen the relationship between Ryan and Hermione last summer, and they had no opinion on this relationship and believed that the two could handle these problems. But what they didn't expect was that Ryan proposed so early. They thought it would take a few more years.

Today's incident was the best example of gender inequality. For the next half hour, only Ryan was nagging from both sides of the family, while Hermione watched Ryan with interest as he showed a rare embarrassment.

Finally, after repeatedly confirming that Ryan and Hermione were serious about the engagement and made the decision after careful consideration, they agreed to their plan of getting engaged during the summer vacation and getting married as soon as they graduated.

Naturally, Ryan also promised in front of Mr. and Mrs. Granger that he would always be good to Hermione. It seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Granger were quite satisfied with Ryan's attitude.

The next thing was some details, because Ryan and Hermione both studied in magic schools, and many things were not suitable for outsiders to know. So both families decided to simply hold a small private engagement ceremony when they went to China to live for a month during this summer vacation, and they could also travel to a foreign country.

After discussing a series of details about these, Mr. Lambert returned to his home and asked Ryan: "By the way, you need to spend money when you get married. Although traditionally the woman pays for the wedding, I think you still need to prepare a place to live. Of course, if you don't have enough money, we can give you the money saved for you in the building society, and also support you with some funds."

"Dad, I really need your help here, but I don't need your money." Ryan looked at his parents sitting across the table and said, "I learned knowledge from wizards so I don't lack money, but I need to exchange the money to buy other things."

Ryan said as he took out several gold bars from his space pocket in front of his parents' astonished eyes. "I have a lot of gold, but the problem is that if I want to buy a house here, I definitely can't buy it with gold."

"You are so rich just because you are a wizard?" Mother Sally picked up a gold ingot and weighed it in her hand, then carefully looked at it in front of her eyes, and said in an unbelievable tone.

"Of course not, I just learned about alchemy by chance." Ryan stretched out a finger and pointed at the tin candlestick on the table. After a series of red runes flashed, the gray candlestick suddenly became silver. "This is - silver!" After checking, Mr. Lambert, the father, said in surprise, "Could it be that the legend of Nicholas Flamel is true? Is there really someone who can turn these base metals into gold and silver?"

"There are very few, but there are some." Ryan puffed out his chest and said, "I am very proud that I am one of them. The greatest alchemist before him, Nicolas Flamel, and his wife died only two years ago. They lived for more than 600 years."

"My son is indeed the best." Mr. Lambert seemed very happy, but he continued, "But it's really terrible for a human being to live so long!"

Ryan didn't expect Mr. Lambert to give such a strange answer after hearing the news. After noticing his son looking at him with strange eyes, Mr. Lambert said casually: "Your mother and I once said that the happiest thing in life is to live healthy with the one you love until old age, and then die naturally without getting sick. Living too long is not a very good thing."

At this point, Mr. Lambert seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said, "Of course, it's too early to tell you this at your age. But you will slowly understand all this."

Finally, Mr. Lambert collected the gold and said that he had enough means to exchange it for pounds, and then Ryan would only have to tell him where he wanted to buy a house.

Anyway, today's events were over. Ryan felt very lucky to have met parents who were reasonable enough, whether it was his own parents or the Grangers.

After staying at home for a day, the two families prepared to go to China for vacation as planned. Ryan and Hermione also had great expectations for this trip to temporarily escape the depressing atmosphere of the British wizarding world. In particular, the magic world of China seemed to be in a fog for British wizards, which made people have great expectations.

But before leaving home, his father, Mr. Lambert, told Ryan solemnly that his father, Ryan's grandfather, was a member of a traditional magic family in China who could not do magic. He declined the family's sponsorship and went directly to study abroad. After graduation, he stayed in the UK to marry and have children. When Mr. Lambert went to China to visit his father this time, he told him that Ryan was a wizard. After hearing this news, he asked Mr. Lambert to tell Ryan that he could come back to his hometown when he was free.

Ryan knew from his grandfather's words that the attitude of the wizarding world in China towards Squibs was much better than that of the British wizards. At the same time, he was also very interested in the magic of this world, and it seemed that this holiday trip was worth looking forward to.

Especially when Ryan remembered that when he went to Brazil as an exchange student in his second year, Zhang Qiu once said that she had met Ryan's grandfather, and also mentioned that Ryan's grandfather saw Zhang Qiu's magic power go out of control when he was a child and a glass floated up, but he was not surprised. Now this can explain why.

"I really want to go to China as soon as possible!" Ryan thought on the way to Heathrow Airport. He also wanted to see his grandparents as soon as possible. They were very kind to Ryan when he was a child, and Ryan now has the ability, so he naturally wants to check the health of the two elderly people so that they can have a healthy old age.
