The wheelchair-bound warrior is speedrunning Hogwarts.

She had already used a magic circuit to rewind to that place yesterday, and only Malfoy had passed through there; no one else would know about it.

“However,” Vera whispered to Harley, “don’t mention the word ‘dragon’ in the future, lest someone overhears us.”

She remembered that in the original story, the trio was discussing the dragon when Malfoy overheard them, which led to Malfoy catching them red-handed on the very day the dragon was born.

“Okay…” Harley nodded somewhat awkwardly, “I’ll be more careful next time.”

The next few days were peaceful and uneventful.

Vera observed Malfoy for several days to make sure he didn't do anything else before she was completely relieved.

In addition, she also noticed that Dokiro had secretly visited Hagrid's hut a few times, but seeing that the little dragon had not hatched, he could only continue to lie dormant.

It's kind of funny, really. She and Quirrell are in a similar state to parents anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, except one is hoping for a safe delivery and the other is waiting to kill the baby for blood.

As time passed, Vera could sense Hermella's life force growing stronger through her magical circuits, and the date of hatching was drawing ever closer.

However, she still didn't reveal her plans for how to settle the little dragon to Harley and the others.

This matter must be discussed with Hagrid and he must agree.

One night, Vera was suddenly awakened from her sleep and discovered that her cat had pulled half of the blanket off her.

Knox was gently patting her face with his paw. When he saw that she was awake, he immediately meowed, jumped lightly off the bed, and looked back at her.

"What's wrong?" La rubbed her eyes and asked softly.

Knox meowed again, held his tail high, and walked towards the door.

Vera looked up. The sky outside the window was still dark, and only the embers of the fireplace emitted a faint light in the bedroom.

Harley and Hermione were still fast asleep.

She sat up quietly, glanced at the wheelchair at the foot of the bed, and then used her virtual legs without hesitation.

Vera landed lightly on the ground with her bare feet, glanced at the two sleeping people, quickly changed her clothes and shoes, put on the invisibility cloak, and hurried after Knox.

The cat led her silently through the common room and down the empty corridor.

Vera's heart raced—the last time Knox had taken her somewhere so urgently in the middle of the night was when he was taking her to find Cerberus.

Could it be that something happened to Lou Williams?

Her heart tightened, and she immediately wanted to connect with Lu Wei mentally to check on the situation.

However, Knox suddenly flashed and nimbly leaped up a spiral staircase, his tail held high.

Hmm? Aren't we going to Louie's room?

Vera took a closer look before confirming that the direction leading to the fourth-floor restricted area was actually towards a certain area on the south side of the castle.

If he wasn't going to see Lou Williams, then who was he going to see?

Her heart leaped into her throat, and she quickened her pace. Her mimicry legs, enhanced by magic, were light and powerful, allowing her to keep up with the cat's pace effortlessly.

Soon, Knox stopped in front of a mural.

"Meow." Knox sat upright in front of the wall, his tail swaying gently, his amber eyes sparkling in the moonlight.

Vera looked at the mural with a puzzled expression. It seemed to depict a rough map of a certain place. The artist's brushwork and technique were ancient and monotonous, the kind of thing you wouldn't even glance at if you just passed by.

Vera had passed by this place once or twice before and hadn't noticed anything amiss.

"Shall I open this?"

She murmured to herself, directly activating the magic circuit and connecting it to the castle. Sure enough, she discovered that behind this wall, there should be a hidden space that wasn't too big.

Vera's fingers gently traced the edge of the mural. Under her loop vision, the flowing golden light between the bricks guided her to a tiny, almost imperceptible groove.

"Open the Alaho Cave," she murmured, the tip of her wand lightly touching the groove.

The mural silently rotated inward, revealing a small space.

Before Vera could even see clearly, Knox darted inside without hesitation, the tip of his tail flashing in the darkness.

Vera couldn't stop her in time, so she gripped her wand and followed her inside.

"Fluorescent light." As the illumination spell lit up the dim surroundings, Vera looked around and realized that the empty room was not even the size of a normal classroom.

This place looks like a secret storage room, with several wooden crates piled up against the wall, covered in a thick layer of dust.

Knox nimbly leaped onto one of the boxes, patted the lid with his paw, and gestured for her to open it.

Vera cautiously approached and carefully lifted the lid of the box. Dust swirled in the air, causing her to sneeze.

Inside the box was an ancient parchment scroll, which looked very old.

She frowned, glanced subconsciously at Knox who had jumped to her side, hesitated for a moment, and then waved her wand, carefully using the Levitation Charm to make the parchment scroll float up.

As it slowly unfolded, a warm current rushed towards us, carrying the scent of grass and sunshine, a stark contrast to the chill of the place.

Vera opened her eyes wide in surprise—behind the scroll was a vast space, like a miniature world.

In the center is a lush green meadow, surrounded by dense forests, and in the distance you can even see a small lake sparkling in the sunlight.

"A seamless extension spell?" Vera murmured to herself, unable to believe her eyes.

She knew that Newt Scamander, the protagonist of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," was an expert in the Unseen Extension Charm.

The leather suitcase in his hand looked ordinary, but its interior space was surprisingly large, containing all kinds of natural landscapes and enough for all kinds of magical animals to inhabit.

But the scroll before him was clearly much older than his box, and it was so well preserved.

Knox nuzzled her wrist with his head and meowed, seemingly urging her to go inside and take a look.

Vera hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently touched the surface of the scroll.

In an instant, a strange suction force came, and she felt a blur before her eyes, and she was pulled into the scroll.

A warm breeze caressed my cheeks, and overhead was an artificial sky with a few white clouds floating by. A bright light source hung in the center, just like the sun.

Wildflowers dot the grass, and a gentle breeze carries their sweet fragrance.

Vera crouched down, her fingers gently brushing against the blades of grass. A butterfly fluttered past her fingertips, its wings shimmering with a pearly luster—the sensation was unbelievably real.

Knox had somehow followed her in, nimbly leaping onto her shoulder, his tail swaying gently.

"Knox, where did you find this?" Vera couldn't help but ask, though she knew the kitten wouldn't answer.

The cat proudly raised its head, as if to say, "What's so difficult about this?"

Seeing its arrogant expression, Vera smiled but became increasingly wary.

In any case, this scroll belongs to someone else. If the owner has already passed away or abandoned this place, then it's fine.

But if she really takes the scroll away, and something goes wrong afterwards...

We should check it thoroughly first.

"Knox, come with me for a walk around here," Vera said softly to Knox, lifting him off her shoulder and placing him on the grass while cautiously observing their surroundings.

This miniature world was much larger than she had imagined; in the distance, she could even see rolling hills and a small forest.

The cat landed lightly, shook its head, and then walked forward with elegant steps, glancing back at her every now and then, as if guiding her.

She followed Knox, mimicking the movement of her legs as she walked freely on the soft grass, each step bringing a long-lost sense of groundedness.

“This is simply a perfect habitat…” Vera murmured to herself, her gaze sweeping over the lush vegetation.

If we could settle Hemera and Luwei here…

As she was thinking, Knox, who was walking ahead, suddenly raised his head, flicked his tail, and ran towards the woods.

Vera quickly followed, and after passing through a thicket, she was surprised to find a small stone house standing in a clearing in the woods.

The door to the stone house was ajar, covered with thick vines and moss, clearly indicating that it had been uninhabited for a long time.

Did someone live here before?

Vera gently parted the vines with her wand, and the wooden door creaked open slowly.

The room was surprisingly tidy, with a simple wooden table, a high-backed chair, and an open book.

It's as if the owner of this place is only temporarily leaving and will be back soon.

Author's Note: No prize for guessing who created this scroll. Even if you guess correctly, there's no prize (hehe).

Chapter 121 The Cat Sighs

Vera's heart raced as she cautiously stepped into the room, her wand gripping tightly in her hand.

Knox nimbly leaped onto the wooden table and gently nudged the open book with his paws.

"Don't touch it!" Vera was about to stop her when the pages of the book suddenly turned to the first page without any wind.

She immediately held her breath, stepped forward, and picked up the cat, while looking down at the words written on the pages of the book—

"To those who discover this place later: make good use of this space, and put it back in its original place when it is no longer needed."

There was no signature or closing.

He was truly a concise and helpful senior who was willing to offer assistance to future generations!

Vera gazed at the line of writing, her fingertips gently tracing the pages. The ink had faded considerably, but the handwriting remained clearly legible, exuding a rustic elegance.

"It seems the master is no longer here..." she murmured to herself, her tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

Knox squirmed in her arms, his amber eyes gleaming in the dim light.

Vera looked around; the stone house, though simple, revealed signs of careful design in every detail.

Several landscape paintings hung on the wall, and there was a small fireplace in the corner with piles of dry firewood next to it.

She walked to the bookshelf and randomly picked out a book.

The gold lettering on the spine was already blurred, but when you opened the inner pages, you would find that it was a notebook about the design of this habitat.

It contains detailed instructions on how to use the Seamless Extension Charm to create environments suitable for different magical creatures, and even complex incantations on how to regulate the internal climate.

“It’s simply exquisite…” she murmured to herself, her fingertips lightly tracing the delicate hand-drawn illustrations.

Just how incredibly talented was that unknown predecessor to be able to design such a space?

With just a few adjustments, a habitat perfectly suited to Hemera and Luwei could be created.

Most importantly, the scroll can be carried around with you!

She was delighted with the sight of him, and finally couldn't resist picking him up and kissing him: "Knox, you're so amazing!"

The cat's fur stood on end from the kiss, and it jumped away from her arms with a meow, its eyes seemingly accusing her of being rude.

If I hadn't checked it beforehand, I really wouldn't have been able to tell whether this thing was a cat or a person.

Vera smiled and shook her head, put the notebook back in its place, took one last look around the simple yet cozy little house, and then carried Knox outside.

Sunlight spilled onto the grass, and a gentle breeze rustled through the treetops.

This place may be small, but it has everything you need.

“We should go back,” Vera said softly, taking one last look at the magical space.

Knox meowed, jumped down from her arms, and led her back the way they came.

Back at the entrance, Vera took a deep breath and reached out to touch the edge of the scroll.

As the familiar suction came, the next second, she was back in that small storage room.

The scroll trembled gently in her hand, as if it were alive.

She carefully rerolled the scroll and put it in her pocket.

"Let's go back and rest," Vera said softly, putting on her invisibility cloak and walking out of the room.

The mural silently closed behind her, restoring it to its original state.

When I returned to the common lounge, it was still dark, and there was still some time before dawn.

Vera tiptoed back to her dorm room. Harley and Hermione were still fast asleep, completely unaware that she had been gone.

She carefully hid the scroll in the bottom space of her wheelchair before taking off her coat and lying back on the bed.

Knox was probably still bothered by her behavior earlier, so he flicked his tail and went to sleep in his cat bed.

Vera wasn't in the mood to care about it right now. Although she was in bed, she couldn't fall asleep. The images from the scroll kept flashing through her mind, and her heart was pounding wildly.

With this habitat, she no longer needed to rush to contact Charlie; she could settle Hemera and Luwei there first and make further plans once they were a bit older.

Moreover... she can visit them often.
