Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 220 Hermione's Gift

Once again sitting on the Hogwarts Express, Moon felt like he was back at the beginning of the school year, only this time he was going in the opposite direction.

After getting on the train and finding an empty compartment, before I had time to put my luggage away, Hermione pushed the door and walked in.

"Thank you very much for your Christmas gift, and Merry Christmas to you!"

Hermione said as she placed a brown wooden box on the dining table and pushed it towards Moon.

"I know you're very good at carving, but you have so few tools. I hope this helps you."

Hermione's father is a well-known dentist in London.

Because since I was a child, I have seen my father fiddling with all kinds of strange tools to fix people's teeth.

So she knows very well how important a set of handy and fully functional tools is to a craftsman.

In comparison, Moon used a small wood carving knife whether he was carving or making wands, or later making pottery figurines.

Although this proves that Moon's carving skills are very high, it becomes very difficult to complete some fine carvings.

It was precisely because of her keen discovery of this that Hermione asked her family to buy a set of wood carving tools from Diagon Alley.

Hermione originally wanted to find a wand shop or a broom company to buy similar tools, but unfortunately neither of them sold them.

Finally, after discussing with their father, they chose to buy a set of basic wood carving tools used by alchemists from a second-hand store.

"Can I open it and take a look?"

Noticing Hermione's serious expression, Moon also became curious about what was in the wooden box.

"Of course~"

Hermione smiled and extended her hand as a gesture of invitation, and Moon immediately pulled the box to his side.

After the small wooden box was opened, the three layers of partitions inside were immediately pulled up, and the wooden box instantly turned into a small treasure chest with 4 layers of space.

On each layer of the box are various tools of different sizes and strange shapes.

Moon first took out a silver knife that was very similar to his main carving knife.

He gently stroked the blade with his fingers and knew that the knife was extremely sharp.

In addition to the main knife, there are also round-mouth knives specifically for carving circles, arcs, and grooves.

As well as triangular knives and bevel knives for finishing details and lines.

The bottom layer of the box also contains a hammer, tweezers, a saw, sandpaper, and a set of goggles.

"Thank you very much, these are very useful to me."

Because of his rich carving experience, Moon knew the use of every tool here at a glance, even if some of them he had never seen before.

According to Moon's original plan, he also needed to make some magic wands and flying brooms in another world.

Now having such a complete set of tools is more than just a matter of saving time for him.

Maybe the success rate of making magic wands and brooms will be greatly improved.

"You don't have to be so polite. Actually, I like the gift you gave me very much."

Noticing Moon's fondness for the tools in the wooden box, a smile spread across Hermione's face.

Moon's gift to Hermione was a set of carved wooden bookmarks that he had made himself.

Knowing that Hermione was very interested in Transfiguration, Moon carved the seven runes he currently possessed on a bookmark and gave it to Hermione.

As an upgraded magic related to Transfiguration, the appearance of the alchemical rune immediately struck Hermione's heart.

Especially since the meanings of these runes were engraved on the bookmarks, Hermione was so happy that she immediately put these bookmarks one by one in her favorite books after receiving them.

"By the way, where are you going for Christmas?"

After Moon put the tool box into the suitcase, Hermione asked the question in her mind.

She had long guessed that Moon didn't have any family to rely on in London, and Christmas was a time for family reunions, so Hermione was very curious about where Moon would be going in the next two weeks. "I'll probably find a place to stay in Diagon Alley first, and then take care of some personal matters."

Moon also knew that Hermione should have guessed something, so he didn't plan to hide it.

"Well, since you have a plan, I'm relieved."

The two little wizards chatted briefly for a while, then each took out a magic book and started reading.

After spending some time together, Moon and Hermione had already developed the habit of encouraging and supervising each other's studies.

The best time to study is in the car.

As evening approached, the arrival announcement sounded in the carriage.

Moon and Hermione put away their finished homework and waved goodbye to each other.

After coming out of Platform 9 3/4 again, Moon took Bengbeng and Zhizhi to the Regent River.

He had already changed into ordinary Muggle clothes, but the two pets on his shoulders still frequently attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Chi~" (This is where we used to live.)
Bengbeng stood on Moon's right shoulder and kept introducing the nearby Muggle things and scenery to Zhizhi.

Cars, picnics, balloons, and delicious Twoleg food.
Because of Christmas, there were a lot of Muggles having a meal in Regent's Park.

Zhizhi, who had only seen the Forbidden Forest, became more talkative after seeing these.

"Gugu~~" (Is that really delicious? The car runs so fast~, this is what the little two-legged beast looks like.

I wonder if you guys had such a good life before. If possible, could you please treat me to some of that honey jam?

Zhizhi's tone was still very polite, but the effect Moon wanted was not achieved.

After seeing the luxurious life of Bongbong in Hogwarts Castle, the little snowy owl became a little lazy.

Now that its wings are fully grown, it should be practicing flying, but this little guy has been only concerned with enjoying delicious food and life with Bengbeng recently.

I don't want to leave the warm tree nest at all.

After discovering this, Moon felt it necessary to let the little guy know about his previous hard life.

So I planned to take it and Bengbeng to the bridge tunnel to have a look when I came to London.

"Squeak, we can't afford these. If you really want to eat them, you have to earn them through your own efforts."

Moon quickly walked through Regent's Park while explaining his previous living conditions to Zhizhi.

Quickly walking down the river to the bottom of the bridge pier, Moon found that the place was still almost the same as before.

It's simply because no one has lived here for a long time, so there's a lot of dust.

"Gugu~" (Is this really where you used to live? It's damp, dark, and has a strange smell.

The only good thing is that the food is very large, which I like very much.)
Zhizhi patrolled the bridge tunnel and quickly locked onto a gray mouse hiding in the corner.

Because he couldn't fly yet, Zhizhi jumped over awkwardly.

It had only walked halfway when the mouse discovered it and started to threaten it by baring its teeth.

"Gu~" (It bullies me!)
Perhaps because he had never been bullied like this before, Zhizhi looked back at Moon in a daze.

But before Moon could make a move, Bengbeng next to him quickly pulled out a huge golden vase from his small bellyband and smashed it on the mouse's head.

"Chi!" (Don't bully my brother!)
The gray mouse was stunned by just one blow.

Without having time to worry about who occupied its home and beat people, the mouse immediately crawled back into its hole in shame.

"Chirp~" (Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on.)
Bengbeng put the vase he got from the Bailey family back into his pocket, then patted Zhizhi, who had tears in her eyes.

Before the little snowy owl could continue crying, Bengbeng immediately looked outside the cave.

"Chi!" (Someone is coming!)
