Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

"Eeya eeya!"

At John and Hermione's house, Joel lay in her crib, waving her little fists and babbling angrily at the circle of heads watching her.

"Is this really Joel?"

"How amazing, she actually turned into a baby."

The heads gathered around were naturally John's friends, including Titus and his two companions, Harry and his friends, as well as Draco and Astoria.

It's a rare privilege to invite everyone here today, so we can get to know Joel again.

Joel's physical condition was also very good, even excessively so.

After all, she is now a special being who possesses the blood of a unicorn and some of the power of a magic stone.

Therefore, the parents can rest assured to temporarily entrust Joel to the care of the two of them.

"Come here, look here, suck suck suck~"

Snapped!

Titus had barely made two sucking sounds when John slapped him on the back of the head.

"No, are you kidding me?"

Titus rubbed the back of his head, muttering aggrievedly, "Then how do I tease him?"

"Of course, Nini~"

Snapped!

Another slap, but this time Hermione landed on the back of John's head.

"Even teasing him like a cat won't work!"

"Yor has just shrunk, she hasn't really turned into a baby. She can understand what we're saying, okay?"

"Alright, if you've seen enough, then disperse."

"Didn't you all gather around? Doesn't that make Joel unhappy?"

Hermione waved her hand to disperse the crowd, and sure enough, Joel's expression immediately relaxed, and he stopped waving his little hands.

Only Hermione, Ginny, and Astoria remained, laughing and teasing Joel.

Joel responded to his sisters with babbling sounds.

"Although I was mentally prepared, it was still quite a shock to actually see Joel, who used to cause trouble all over Hogwarts, turn into a baby."

Harry exclaimed, looking at Joel lying in the crib with a look of wonder in his eyes.

"Indeed, she even deducted several hundred points from our Slytherin rankings."

Ron nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but chuckle.

Since it's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, they naturally won't all crowd around Joel.

John led the boys to sit in the back garden, while the girls carried Joel to the sofa in the living room, teasing her and chatting.

"Wow, John, you're quite good at managing your household, keeping the backyard so beautiful."

Draco looked at John's backyard and couldn't help but admire it.

A neatly trimmed lawn, and two rows of flowers in different colors that complement each other perfectly.

In the corner, there was a large tree that shaded a third of the backyard, and under its shade were several rattan chairs and a small round table.

In the other corner is a semi-enclosed pavilion, with vines entwined around it and some pale purple flowers blooming, swaying gently in the wind.

Several comfortable reclining chairs were placed in the pavilion, and a low table was placed in the middle.

In the middle is a relatively open lawn where people can move around freely.

The entire backyard has both natural vitality and a carefully maintained sense of order, making people unconsciously relax as soon as they step in.

"Hehe, isn't it beautiful~"

John stood with his hands on his hips, looking quite pleased with himself.

Although the backyard wasn't big, he kept it so that it was full of life.

These were all gardening tips he learned from his grandfather Nicolas Flamel during his time in seclusion.

He lived to be over six hundred years old; when it comes to living a good life, no one can compare to him.

When he first saw his garden, he already thought about creating a similar backyard for him and Hermione's home.

So I've been taking great care of it for the past few months, and finally I've achieved the results I have now.

John gestured for everyone to sit down and brought out tea, snacks, and chilled juice from inside the house.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. People sat on wicker chairs or leaned against deck chairs in the pavilion, sipping chilled juice and chatting about their recent lives.

"Hey, look, this is the letter Neville sent back last time."

"There are also photos of him and Luna taken in the Brazilian rainforest."

At that moment, Harry took out a letter and shared it with John and the others.

Neville and Luna went on a trip together, and this is a postcard they sent back.

Titus and the others gathered around and looked at the photo. In the photo, Neville and Luna were standing in front of a dense rainforest, with towering trees and entwined vines behind them.

Neville had gotten quite a tan and was all smiles, while Luna wore a hat woven from local plants and her eyes were as bright and unfocused as ever.

"Haha, Naveen looks so manly!"

Looking at Neville in the photo, Ethan immediately smiled and said.

Of the four of them, Ethan and Neville were the closest.

"That's right, they've been traveling together for almost a month."

"Neville has been taking care of Luna all this time."

Ron had obviously already read the letter, so he didn't need to come over to join the conversation.

"Hmph, it's all thanks to me that I created this opportunity for them to travel together."

Titus, standing to the side, shook his head smugly, a hint of self-satisfaction on his face.

No one objected, since it was indeed Titus who suggested that Neville and Luna travel together.

"That's great, they must have had a lot of fun," Ryan said enviously.

Upon hearing Ryan's words, John seemed to remember something.

"By the way, didn't we say we'd go on a trip after graduation?"

"We can go out and have some fun then."

Upon hearing John's words, the three of them immediately recalled a joke they had made some time ago.

"Are you really going?" Ryan asked, his voice brimming with anticipation.

"Yeah, it seems like none of us are going to be working like slaves right after graduation, right?"

John nodded and said.

However, Harry and Ron took a bit of a jab at these words.

"What the hell? I feel like you're implying something about us," came Harry and Ron's dissatisfied voices.

"No, no, don't talk nonsense."

John immediately denied it three times in a row.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Draco laughed and mocked him.

"That's right. I hadn't even had a chance to rest after graduation when the Ministry of Magic offered me a job, and I was already eager to work like a slave."

"Hermione at least spent a month playing with John before going, but you two went to report for duty the very next day."

Draco picked up his juice, took a sip, and mocked the two of them mercilessly.

"Hey, we call this being proactive and ambitious!" Ron retorted, unconvinced.

John ignored their argument and started discussing graduation trip plans with his brothers.

They all seemed very excited, chattering excitedly about the places they wanted to go.

However, Titus asked a crucial question: "Do we have enough funds?"

"What funding?" John asked back.

"What about food, lodging, and travel expenses?" Titus asked again to confirm.

"Huh? It's just bringing a giant Thunder tent, sleeping wherever you go, and grabbing some local wild game when you get hungry, right?"

"...We're going on a trip, not a wilderness survival adventure..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter."

John waved his hand dismissively.

And he certainly doesn't lack funds.

The most important thing is to be happy.

After being swayed by John's confident words, they stopped worrying about the issue.

However, another problem immediately arose.

"But John, you're a married man now, is it really convenient for you to go out with us like this?"
