Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 279 Summer Vacation Plans
After experiencing Flitwick's Duel Labyrinth and identifying some faulty devices, Levi and his companions continued with the remaining tasks.

Camille and Levi got their wish and visited Sprout's Ice Palace—an ice and snow garden themed around magical winter plants.

It is indeed beautiful, because under the sunlight, each crystal-like plant reflects a breathtaking light.

Despite Levi's genuine praise and the fact that his two assistants were staring at him with wide eyes, Sprout still gently hoped that he would offer some suggestions.

"I wouldn't presume to offer my opinion—but I feel that while presenting all these beautiful plants directly here is certainly impressive, it lacks a sense of mystery and immersion."

"It seems you already have an idea, Professor Li Wei. Please show it to me directly—don't worry about damaging anything, I just want these plants to remain intact."

Levi thought for a moment, asked Sprout for some grass seeds and pods, scattered them in the wind, and then began to wave his wand.

As he began casting his spell, a gentle breeze suddenly arose, stirring the lawn—countless vines and branches grew from the ground, gradually forming a green passage, which then transformed into a courtyard, hiding all the magical plants in the gaps between the light and green leaves, thus dividing the scene.

“I think it might be better to set this place as the entrance and let the children see it one by one than to present it all to them at once.”

"Hmm—I think it's great—and it makes it easier for me to teach."

Professor Sprout nodded amiably.

She had already labeled all the magical plants, making it both educational and entertaining. Li Wei's method of dividing the area did indeed make her idea more convenient.

Afterwards, at Professor Sprout's invitation, the three of them went for a stroll in the courtyard.

After exiting the courtyard, Camille's expression became somewhat uncontrollable—her silly grin hadn't stopped since she entered the courtyard.

Jowell's expression also became calm yet filled with emotion—since he took on the job of taking care of Harry and Cedric, the three of them had been traveling together much less often.
In fact, it wasn't just Jia Meier who liked spending time with the professor.

The five years that Joe Willie spent traveling and exploring magic with Professor Levi after he became an adult were the most novel, challenging, fastest-growing, and happiest time of his life.

Perhaps for the professor, those five years were simply five years of fruitless effort.

But for Jowell, no matter what difficulties he encounters in the future, as long as he recalls those five years, an inexhaustible source of strength will well up within him.
But how much longer can they travel together like this?
Thinking of this, Qiao Weili couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness and sadness.

However, he never revealed these things.
"Professor, this place is beautiful! Especially after your improvements."

What should this be called? A secret base? Yes, it looks like a secret base!

"Jia Meier said happily to Li Wei."

“Yes, it reminds me of a lot of things—Jovelly, this place is actually very similar to the mithril mines we explored in France, isn’t it?”

A gentle breeze caressed his face. Qiao Weili paused slightly, then immediately smiled and stepped forward, speaking in a suppressed, hoarse voice:
"Yes, but the scenery back then was much rougher than it is here."

"Yes, each has its own beauty."

Li Wei sighed.

Looking at the two people smiling because of their shared experience, Jia Meier pouted and said, which was unusual for her:
“That’s not fair, Professor!” She glared at Joey with displeasure—who shrank back sheepishly under her glare. “We’re both your assistants, so why did you only take Joey on this trip?”

"Because you were too young at the time, it wasn't very convenient."

Li Wei answered without hesitation. "."

His reply ended the conversation abruptly.

Looking at Camille, who had completely lost the ability to speak, Jovel chuckled and continued:

“Yes, in any case, it’s really not fair—Professor, you owe Camille a round-the-world trip.”

“Yes, yes! Joey is right! Professor, I also need to travel the world so that I can follow in your footsteps and step into legend as well.”

Camille looked at Jowell with gratitude and appreciation, and encouraged Levi.

"Traveling the world? Well, Joe and I have already been to those places, so it doesn't feel very meaningful."

"No, I think it's very meaningful."

Joe said it sincerely.

"Is that so?" Li Wei didn't feel stung, but instead thought about it seriously. "It's not impossible, but I'm afraid I won't have the time for that in the next few years or even the next decade or so."

"What about summer vacation? This summer vacation? It doesn't have to take several years, just two months is enough—if it really doesn't work, Professor, you can make it up to me in installments."

Seeing that Li Wei's attitude might be softening, Jia Meier stepped over to Li Wei, wrapped her hands behind her back, and looked up at him.

"How did it become that I owe you?" Li Wei gave a wry smile, not taking it to heart. "Speaking of which, it's true that the three of us haven't acted together for a long time."

He had a good experience with both events at the winter celebration, so much so that Li Wei was in a very good mood and even became a little impulsive and decisive in his speech.

"Alright, if nothing else comes up this summer, let's go on another trip together, the three of us."

Three people?

Jia Meier glanced at Qiao Weili unintentionally—he gave a silent, bitter smile and was about to speak, but the next second Jia Meier grabbed both of their arms and said happily:
"Okay, it's settled then. The three of us will go on a trip together this summer vacation."

The warmth and relaxation on her face were something she never showed on her usual icy expression.

“Sure, if I have some free time,” Li Wei agreed.

"Okay, I hope everything goes well."

Looking at Camille like this, Jowell's gentle features softened even more. But then, he thought of the prophecy from the fortune-telling shop earlier.
Will the so-called turmoil happen this summer, like the curse of last year?

Joey's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He wasn't afraid of the so-called turmoil—he didn't believe anyone in the wizarding world could threaten the professor's safety, especially with him and Barton still around.

But—what if this turmoil affects summer vacation travel?
Joe looked at Camille, who had already let go of his hand and was happily chatting with Levi.

In the sunlight, his brown pupils shone with a lustrous sheen, filled with determination.
