"Godfather, you would never have imagined what we went through at the train station. There was a nasty house-elf who didn't want to let us get on the Hogwarts Express. If Phil hadn't sent me, I'm afraid Harry, Ron, and I wouldn't have caught up with the train at all."
Hermione's little mouth was talking to Kain about what happened at the station this afternoon. While speaking, she shook her little head and looked at her godfather's office.
"It's better than last year. I was choked by the garlic smell when I first came here, and it took me a while to clean it."
Kain smiled and brought Hermione a glass of milk, then controlled the Extremis virus to warm it up a little.
"Where's the little elf who blocked you from entering the train station?"
"He ran away and disappeared after being scared by Phil. At that time, Phil was worried about my safety, so he didn't chase after him."
After Hermione finished speaking, her eyebrows furrowed. She really didn't like warm milk, but she still took it since it was handed to her by her godfather.
However, she had to wait a long time and sip it slowly, so she wouldn't drink too much in one go.
"Then don't worry about it. If that elf appears at Hogwarts, you can tell me or any of the other professors. This is special milk, you can try it."
After listening to Kain's words, Hermione hesitated for a moment but still took a sip. The slightly sweet milk slid down her throat instantly, and there was no other smell to make her uncomfortable. This made Hermione's eyes light up, and she drank slowly.
After a while, Hermione finished the milk, took the paper towel handed by Kain, wiped her mouth, and then jumped off the high stool.
"Godfather, I should go back."
"Let's go, I'll see you off. I just happened to be going to the library."
After Kain finished speaking, he got up and walked outside with Hermione. He planned to visit the restricted section today. He currently had too few attack methods, and Kain always felt that with his magic power and bloodline, it would be better to use magic.
Mainly, it was too cumbersome for him to make seals.
Of course, Kain was still very interested in some ninjutsu that didn't require seals, like Dust Release and the like.
On the way back, Hermione suddenly raised her head and asked, "Godfather, can I come to your place more often in the future?"
"Come here often? Of course, it's no problem."
After Kain finished speaking, he took out a key and placed it in Hermione's hand.
"My room has anti-spells and protective charms. If you get caught while roaming at night, tell Administrator Filch you're looking for me."
"I never travel at night!"
Hermione blushed and lowered her head, though her tone wasn't very convincing. While she hadn't said it before, it was likely that she had done this kind of thing.
After that, Hermione still held the key tightly and planned to hang it on a chain when she went back.
During dinner in the Great Hall today, after Dumbledore announced that Kain was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Hermione applauded the most, followed by the other girls.
Compared to other professors, the young and handsome Kain could certainly drive some girls crazy, especially with his phoenix blood. If you stared at him for a long time, you could feel the noble temperament of the phoenix.
However, Kain preferred to explain this phenomenon with the "magic class." He agreed that wizards' magic comes from magical creatures, just like Merlin, who is said to have had half the blood of a magic creature, but this is just a rumor without solid evidence.
When Hermione was having dinner just now, there were Gryffindor seniors sitting around her. Because Ron's big mouth had revealed that Kain was her godfather, many Gryffindor seniors wanted to inquire about her godfather.
Hermione didn't want to disclose any news about him. In her opinion, no one at this school was suitable to know about her godfather!
After sending Hermione back, Kain turned around and walked towards the restricted section. What he didn't know was that after he left, Hermione was surrounded by a group of senior Gryffindor girls who wouldn't let her leave until they got some information about Kain.
In the end, Hermione had to reveal a few false things about Kain before the senior girls would let her go, such as "Professor Pent likes to eat garlic," and "Professor Pent's favorite drink is dragon's blood brandy," among other trivial details.
Kain was worried there would be too much noise in the restricted section, so he cast a sound-blocking spell and began searching for books slowly, but he was using Shadow Clones to help with the search.
After a while, he found three banned books: The Book of Spells, The Most Poisonous Magic, and Secrets of Sophisticated Dark Arts.
The first book was full of magic spells, including many that Kain hadn't learned in the past few years. He made sure to write them down to make up for the spells he had mastered.
As for the latter two books, they were about dark magic, including Fiendfyre, Cruciatus, and others.
The dark magic in these books was extremely difficult, and many of the spells required the caster to channel their emotions in order to cast them successfully, which made them very dangerous. It would be impossible to learn them all in one night.
Kain first wrote down a few useful spells and planned to ask Dumbledore the next day if the Forbidden Forest needed to be cleaned up.
If there were too many magical creatures causing trouble inside, it would be the perfect opportunity for Kain to get in touch with dark magic.
