I'm the King of Curry at Hogwarts

Chapter 96 A Kiss That Seals the Deal

It's important to note that Catherine never calls her "mom" or "mother," but rather "mama."

Generally speaking, only exceptionally cute little children would call someone that.

Louis had noticed the problem, but he didn't dare say anything.

In the kitchen, Catherine was taken aback by Solanli's pitiful appearance.

She knows her mother all too well.

In her words, women should be good at using their strengths as weapons, and clearly, Solanlian is now putting this into practice.

"A man like Xiao Lu is bound to have no shortage of women around him... You can't keep scaring them away with your clumsy attempts at flirting, can you?"

"Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, your little deer might start to overthink things," Solarian patiently advised Catherine. "It's for your own good to solidify your relationship as soon as possible... Daughter, if he has another woman by his side, you'll end up like Snape, a loser..."

"Think about it, what would it be like if you suffered the same fate as Snape?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine imagined it for a moment and involuntarily shuddered.

Damn it.

At this point, Solanlian whispered in her ear, "If you don't cherish it, Little Moon, Mommy can do it for you~"

"Don't even think about it!" Catherine exploded immediately. "How could you... Good heavens!"

She immediately broke down; when it came to this, Catherine knew she was no match for her mother.

Louis, who was outside with nothing to do, was also looking at the rewards the system had just given him.

The Lightning skill tree includes several skills: Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Static Field, Teleport, Teleport, Energy Shield, Thunderstorm, and Lightning Specialization.

The first two were relatively easy to understand, so Louis focused on examining the later skills.

Electrostatic field: Using the surrounding electrostatic field to weaken the target's energy.

Telekinesis: Use your mental powers to pick up items, manipulate objects, and defeat enemies.

Teleport: Instantly move to a designated location within your line of sight.

Energy Shield: Improve your Ironclad Charm to create a continuous magical shield that automatically resists damage you take, breaking when it reaches a critical point.

Thunderstorm: Summons a deadly lightning storm that attaches to an energy shield, unleashing a continuous barrage of lightning strikes on all hostile targets within range.

Current remaining available skill points: 1

Note: The maximum level for the Lightning skill is 20.

Louis's mood immediately soured when he saw that he only had 1 skill point available.

Eye of the Griffin

Equipping this item increases the Ironclad Spell's defense by 30%.

+1 to all skills

+1 to all talents

+20% Faster Casting Speed

The target's resistance to lightning-type skills is reduced by 25%.

Increases spell power of lightning-related abilities by 20%.

It has a groove (1)

Contrary to his expectations of a crown, the Eye of Gree was actually a colored contact lens...

He took out the contact lens and stuck it on his left eye. The lens adhered to his eye almost instantly, blending in seamlessly with his eye.

There was absolutely no discomfort; it seems the system rewards must be top-notch.

Louis walked up to the mirror and looked at his left eye.

This is so cool...

Wisps of silver lightning danced in his eyes, making him appear both mysterious and majestic.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost of the Four Divine Weapons; the special effects are absolutely amazing.

Just then, Catherine finished her conversation with her mother and came out of the kitchen.

Seeing Louis looking in the mirror, she walked over, intending to tease him, but then she saw Louis's left eye, which seemed to gleam with lightning speed, reflected in the mirror.

"Handsome?" Louis asked without turning his head, looking at Catherine behind him in the mirror.

"Of course." Catherine's eyes were dreamy as she hugged Louis from behind and leaned down to kiss him on the cheek.

"Be my boyfriend, Louis," Catherine whispered.

"Aren't we now?" Louis asked, somewhat puzzled. If not now, then what was just now?

Oh, he realized. He'd forgotten where he'd seen that line in his past life. What was it? Hmm, women all like a sense of ritual.

Perhaps... this can be considered a kind of ritual?

"Okay," he immediately replied.

"Turn around."

"Um?"

Louis turned around as instructed, but before he could speak, he felt a warm touch on his lips.

His eyes widened, his body pressed against the cold mirror, but he couldn't cool the burning heat emanating from his heart.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. Louis quickly realized what was happening and hugged Catherine tightly, responding to her passionately.

When their breathing became erratic, they separated, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, lingering tenderly.

Ms. Solanlian, who had been watching from the sidelines for an unknown period of time, suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"It seems I underestimated you, my little moon."

Upon hearing this, Catherine glanced up at her mother, her eyes still lingering with the afterglow of passion, breathtakingly beautiful. A slight smile curved her moist lips.

"I won, Mom."

Louis looked at the two of them, completely bewildered. What was this about winning or losing? What kind of riddle were you two playing?

Riddler, get out of the magic world, you bastard!

At this moment, Solanlian wore a smug smile.

"Alright, alright, I know you won. Hurry up and bring the food up, I'm starving from waiting so long!"

Breakfast was simple yet refined, consisting of just some home-style dishes, but it was very delicious. At least Louis liked it very much, much better than emulsified high-fat mixed rice bowls.

Bacon is almost always a staple on the English breakfast table, but when it comes to the skill of cooking bacon, Louis believes that Sollian dares to claim second place, and no one dares to claim first.

It seems that Catherine's culinary skills are inherited, stemming from a family tradition.

While he was eating, his owl Emerys fluttered into the room and landed on an empty spot on the table.

"I'm sorry, Emerys has been spoiled by her grandfather," Louis quickly apologized.

"Its name is Emerys, right?" Solarian looked at the owl with interest. "You and Emma are really alike when it comes to naming things. I remember what her owl was called? Hmm, I think it was Isendre?"

Louis was now even more certain that his mother was definitely a time traveler.

How would someone from this era know the name of the Dream Dragon? Looks like a loyal World of Warcraft player.

Louis, as was his custom, cut two small sausages for Emerys—Italian salami. Emerys liked them very much and cooed twice, like a pigeon.

I really don't know how owls make that sound. Maybe Grandpa trained them to?

It is said that my grandfather had the demeanor of a pigeon back then.

Emerys brought two letters, sent by the Malfoys.

He opened the letters. The first was from Draco, saying that his father wanted to invite him to a casual meal at Malfoy Manor to thank him for taking care of him at school. The other was a very formal invitation from Lucius, inviting him to visit Malfoy Manor.

"To be honest, I don't like the Malfoys." Solarian elegantly cut the bacon on her plate and said slowly, "Take Lucius for example, he's always been a bit too slick. I even think he's not very sincere towards Voldemort... This guy is quicker than anyone else when it comes to profit, but when danger comes, he's always the first to run away."

"What do you mean?" Louis seemed to understand what Solanlian was trying to say.

"I'm not saying you shouldn't associate with them. On the contrary, if you want to achieve something great, you'll definitely need their help." Solanlian stopped there, glancing at her daughter who was eating in silence. Seeing that her daughter wasn't paying attention, she forked a sausage, put it to her mouth, and gently licked the other end of the sausage with her pink tongue.

Louis saw Solanlian's movements and swallowed hard.

Where has he ever been tested like this? What little boy could withstand such a test?

Seeing that her daughter had also turned her attention to her, Solanlian acted as if nothing had happened. She took a small bite of the sausage, savored it for a moment, and then continued to explain to Louis: "Your mother once told me that if you want to achieve something great, you must unite everyone you can... Hmph, I really don't know where she learned this kind of thing. I believe that if she were Grindelwald, she could definitely do better than the real Dark Lord."

Louis astutely grasped the deeper meaning in Solarian's words: "You mean to say that Voldemort doesn't count as the Dark Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Solanlian was eating a sausage. She couldn't help but laugh, still with the sausage in her mouth, and said happily, "Him? He's at most a demon..."

No nose: Are you being polite?

It's true, whenever Grindelwald is mentioned, someone without a nose is inevitably brought up.

Just like under every video of Vida Rozier, there is always a Bella who is cyberbullied.

"What I'm telling you is, if you're truly interested, the Malfoy family will be an indispensable asset," Solarian gently advised the inexperienced young man. "The Malfoys can be used, but not extensively. At least, matters truly concerning your life and fortune shouldn't be entrusted to them, understand?"

"I understand, Sister Lian." Louise nodded to indicate that she understood.

After dinner, Louis sat at Catherine's desk, preparing to reply to her letter.

Halfway through writing, Louis looked at Catherine.

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow... Why don't you come with me?"

"The Malfoys invited you, what does it have to do with me?" Catherine scoffed, somewhat displeased. Like her mother, she didn't have a good impression of the Malfoys.

Of course, if it were for Louis's sake, Catherine believed she could still tolerate the annoyance. At least the silly white weasel that appeared in front of her every day, no matter how displeasing it was, hadn't done anything excessive to embarrass Louis.

"Well, mainly after we go to the Malfoys' house, we'll go to the Weasleys' house to pick up Harry, and then we'll go home... We need to introduce you to Grandpa, right?"

Catherine paused for a moment,

"All right."

Louis replied in a gentle and polite tone, expressing his honor at receiving the invitation and that he and his girlfriend Catherine would be visiting their family's estate the day after tomorrow.

After letting Amoris take the letter away, Louis stretched in his chair.

I woke up too early this morning and now I want to go back to sleep. What should I do?

Catherine noticed Louis's tiredness and considerately suggested, "If you're sleepy, go take a nap, and then practice spells with me when you wake up."

"It's okay, let's go now. We can talk about sleeping at noon."

Solanian left home early, supposedly to go to the Ministry of Magic, probably to cause trouble for Fudge over the Seems.

Catherine just hoped her mother wouldn't completely dismantle the Ministry of Magic.

Standing in the empty garden, Catherine suddenly asked, "By the way, what was that spell you used before...? Why was it undetectable by the tracking threads?"

Louise took out his wand, infused it with magic, and a dark blue dagger extended from the tip of the wand.

"Is this what you're asking about?"

"Hmm." Catherine was very curious.

"This...this is a different kind of magic. Would you like to learn it? I can teach you," Louis chuckled.

"Is it alright?" Catherine asked hesitantly. This kind of unique magic is a closely guarded secret of each family, how could it be easily taught to outsiders?

"Why not?" Louis stroked her smooth, rounded shoulder. "As long as you want to learn, I have lots and lots of magic here that you can learn."

"Really? There are so many?" Catherine's eyes lit up immediately.

Louis looked at the lightning skill tree, which had three branches—the leftmost branch required learning Static Field before learning Energy Shield, and only after learning Energy Shield could points be added to Thunderstorm.

In the middle is the connection between Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning. To learn Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt must be at least level 5 – this is the minimum requirement. The rightmost option, Teleportation and Telepathy, is even more outrageous; Teleportation must be at level 15 before you can learn Teleportation.

In contrast, the one on the far left is the most moderate, allowing you to learn a new skill every ten levels.

At the very bottom is the Lightning Specialization, which can only be learned after learning all other skills. The learning condition is that the sum of the levels of all Lightning skills must be greater than 50.

Louis thought for a moment and then allocated his skill points to Lightning Bolt.

"While Fiendfire is indeed powerful, relying on only one type of magic is too limiting," Louis said, flipping his hand to reveal a ball of lightning in his palm. The crackling arcs of electricity looked both frightening and cool.

"Have you ever heard of lightning?" Louis's tone sounded like he was trying to sell something.

"I've heard of people who know such spells, but I've never seen anyone use the lightning spell." Catherine stared intently at the lightning bolt in Louis's hand, her large, emerald-like eyes filled with longing and ambition.

Louis clenched his fist lightly, and the electricity in his hand vanished. He snapped his fingers, and a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, striking the scarecrow standing in the garden with a thunderous roar.

The scarecrow couldn't withstand the power of the lightning and exploded with a bang, leaving only the stick in the middle that supported its body, blackened by the lightning strike.

"I want to learn this!" Catherine said firmly.
