I'm the King of Curry at Hogwarts

Chapter 97 Solanlian, My Good Mother

Louis, of course, wouldn't refuse his girlfriend's request, and he readily agreed.

Lightning spells have always been known for their cool special effects and powerful damage. Especially in that game, the most explosive damage and the most expensive spells were always those of lightning mages.

Unlike some ultimate skills that boast dazzling special effects, cool names, impressive immunity, and pleasing damage, electric magic has always been at the top of the food chain.

Yes, you're the one who can destroy the world...

Ward: Don't mention it, he's already dark-skinned.

Louis's teaching method was very good, or perhaps it could be said that Catherine was very talented. In any case, in less than a morning, Catherine had learned the spell and was quite proficient at using it. With a flick of her finger, she could turn the scarecrow black with electricity.

Louis even noticed that Catherine was already able to skillfully control the output of the current, adjusting its power as needed.

He thought to himself, "I've really struck gold!" He had gained some understanding of his girlfriend's terrifying talent.

Electric Talent: 20

It's even better than Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Catherine was overjoyed, as if she had found a new toy. The perfect harmony between electric magic and herself made her instantly forget about Fiery Blaze.

Li Huo: So love will disappear, right?

Both of them had forgotten about the Kalia Swift Sword until after lunch.

However, this spell looked easy, but it was not so simple to learn. Catherine tried for a long time but could not get it right. In the end, Louis taught her step by step, and it took her a long time to be able to use the magic and fencing with Louis with some difficulty.

It's real fencing! Not that kind of fencing, don't get the wrong idea.

Besides, they're not Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so it can't be called fencing; it should be called sheathing.

The two of them were having a lively time practicing their swordsmanship in the garden until Solanlian returned home in the evening with a gloomy expression, at which point they stopped.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Catherine asked with concern as she stepped forward, noticing her mother's gloomy and almost tearful face.

"It's nothing. Have you made dinner?" Seeing Catherine and Louis, Solanlian's expression softened.

"Oh dear..." Catherine belatedly realized that she had been so focused on practicing magic with Louis that she had completely forgotten about cooking.

"I'll go right now." She hurried into the house.

Solanlian snorted and muttered to Louis, "You two are really outrageous, so busy with your lovemaking that you don't even cook..."

The sourness in his words was obvious to everyone, and Louis's face immediately darkened.

How can you talk like that...?

At dinner, Sollian opened a bottle of Romanée-Conti and carefully poured it into a decanter. Seeing that Catherine was about to pour juice for herself and Louis, Sollian raised her hand and pressed down on Catherine's glass.

"Today is the big day for you two to officially become a couple, how about we have some drinks to celebrate?" Solanlian winked at Catherine.

"Mom! You haven't forgotten that we're still minors, have you?" Catherine looked at her unreliable mother with a hint of helplessness.

"Hmm, of course not." Solanlian loosened her grip and shrugged, indicating that she was just joking, but no one noticed the sly glint in her eyes.

……

That night, Louis lay in bed, bored, and began to browse the system panel, looking for any new tasks.

There are indeed quite a few.

*You need a real direction for learning

It turns out that not all students are suited to learning spells. Sometimes, you really don't know you have mediocre talent until you put in the effort...

So, try a different approach; you might find that none of them are suitable.

Please identify the potential of at least three students and tailor a research direction that suits them.

Quest Reward: Fire Keeper *1

Louis perked up the moment he saw the Fire Keeper.

I'll just call my wife...

Quick, let's set off together and explore the darkness of the Fire Keeper!

Just as he was getting excited, he suddenly heard the door creak open and then close again, and then that familiar, sweet and soft feeling returned.

He exited the system panel and looked closely into his arms; it was Catherine.

"You've come to the wrong house, Cathy."

Louis reached out and poked her cheek, but before he could properly feel the soft, smooth skin on her face, Catherine grabbed his fingers and pressed them onto the pillow.

"Stop fooling around, go to sleep." Catherine's face was buried in the pillow, her voice sounding muffled and a little dizzy.

She had no idea what was going on.

Louis was a bit confused. What was going on? Why did you come here like a silly roe deer? Aren't you afraid I'll do something bad?

I can stand up straight!

Just as I was about to call out to Catherine again, I found that she had already fallen asleep.

Louis tossed and turned in bed, clearly unable to fall asleep. He didn't know when, but he woke up again in a daze and found that it was already broad daylight.

He found himself back in the same position he had been in when he woke up yesterday, while Catherine had already woken up and was looking at him with a curious expression.

"What's wrong, baby?" Louis was still groggy and asked a normal question.

"Why do you sleep with your wand on?" Catherine said, reaching out to pull it off.

"No!" Louis immediately snapped back to reality, breaking out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly tried to move his body backward, but fell off the bed due to excessive force.

You can't just pull this thing out...!

Catherine looked on in bewilderment as Louis fell on his backside, wondering why he was reacting so strongly, but she still got out of bed to help him up.

Louis lay on the ground, refusing to move. How embarrassing would it be if Catherine saw this... Louis sighed. But, didn't his future mother-in-law give Catherine any sex education? How could she be so careless!

Catherine was still trying to figure out how to get Louis up, and what it meant for him to keep squatting on the ground, when a burst of exaggerated laughter came from outside the door as the two were struggling.

It's Solanlian.

Catherine opened the door and saw her mother covering her face with her hands, her cheeks flushed, her shoulders shaking, and tears welling in her eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was crying. But Catherine knew that it was purely laughter.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Catherine didn't understand what had made her mother laugh, so she asked. Then she realized her mother was waiting outside her bedroom again, and a sense of unease crept into her mind.

Solanlian covered her mouth and walked over, glanced at Louis, then lowered her head and whispered something in Catherine's ear.

In no time, Catherine's pretty face visibly flushed red.

Solarian glanced at Louis, who looked completely bewildered, then looked down at her daughter, whose face was flushed. She narrowed her eyes and mimicked Catherine's exaggerated mannerisms: "Good heavens, my little deer, why are you sleeping with your wand on...?"

"Mom!" Catherine cried out anxiously. She pounced on Solanlian and pinned her to the bed. She was filled with shame, anger, and panic, and didn't know what to do.

"Tickl her!" Louis, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was really getting along with Solanlian.

Catherine wasn't paying much attention, so she readily accepted Louis's reasonable suggestion. She reached her hands towards her mother's ribs and began to tickle them.

Solanlian, like her daughter, was ticklish, and burst into laughter, breathless. She, naturally, wasn't about to give in either, and started scratching Catherine's ticklish spots in return. Her hair flew wildly, and as her arms thrashed about, Louis saw many things he should have seen, and many things he shouldn't have seen.

Suddenly, Louis felt a tickle in his nose and quickly turned his head away.

I dare not watch anymore, or I'll get sick. Namo Jesus...

No, it'll taste out of place.

He urgently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in his mind, thinking, "If my heart is as clear as ice, I will not be alarmed even if the sky falls; I will not be alarmed even if the sky falls..."

But the image of the snow-covered Alps keeps flashing through my mind.

The mother and daughter had had their fun for a while, and Solarian, slightly out of breath, looked at Louis, who was facing the wall in contemplation, and teased him with a charming smile, "Mr. Deer, why did you turn around? Was it your wand...?"

"Mom!" Catherine quickly stopped her mother from continuing. If she let her keep talking, who knows what she might say.

"Alright, turn around now, Mr. Deer, let's go eat." Solanlian straightened her appearance, looked at Louis who was still facing the wall, and wanted to tease him even more.

Mr. Deer is so cute!

She left the room, leaving the two of them alone.

Louis then turned around, his little face flushed, looking as if he were drunk.

Catherine beckoned him over.

Louis walked over, and Catherine pulled him down, whispering in his ear, "Little Deer, I have a feeling something's not right..."

"What's wrong?" Louis hadn't forgotten that...

Forget about your Alps!

Catherine gently pinched him: "It's just that I always feel something's not right when I come back here in a daze every night... Logically speaking, even if I get up in the middle of the night, I shouldn't be that dazed."

"How so?" Louis was also curious.

"I suspect it was my mother's doing. I never get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, let alone... Both times I clearly remember getting up and leaving my mother's room, but I don't remember anything after that."

"You mean... Sister Lian?" Louis suddenly became interested. If it was true, then this mother-in-law was truly his mother-in-law, without any ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Louis's eyes welled up with tears.

It's said that a mother-in-law grows fonder of her son-in-law the more she looks at him; it seems that Solanlian likes him more and more the more she looks at him...

"Very likely!"

Catherine knows her mother all too well; when it comes to being cunning and ruthless, no one is better than her.

"Hmm..." Louis thought for a moment, recalling the little details from yesterday's dinner. He quickly whispered a reminder to Catherine: "By the way, no matter what Sister Lian wants you to drink at dinner, don't drink it... No, that will arouse her suspicion. You should try to get rid of any drinks she gives you without her noticing. I remember last night during dinner, she covered your cup with her hand... That must have been the little trick she did."

Catherine carefully recalled the details of last night, and her face darkened.

"No need to think! It must be that time! Oh... I was so careless!"

I used my E skill, but it didn't flash.

Who would have thought that Solanlian would pull such a stunt? And who would have thought that Solanlian would betray her own daughter like this?

She really is her biological mother.

"When you go out later, pretend you don't know anything," Catherine instructed. "Don't let it slip that we've discovered her mischief."

"Understood." Louis gave an OK sign.

The two actresses acted as if nothing had happened at the breakfast table, especially Catherine, who exuded a kind and gentle atmosphere, helping Solanlian cook and clean up the dishes. Louis, who knew the truth, almost burst out laughing inside.

Solanlian was also a little confused, and even felt a little guilty. Had she been too much of a tease to her daughter lately?

However, she quickly dismissed the idea. It was rare for her daughter to be home, and for the adorable Mr. Deer to be there too. The two little ones were about to leave, and this kind of fun wasn't something she could find every day.

Since Solanlian left home, the two of them haven't even practiced magic, and have been planning what to do tonight.

The discussion continued until Solanlian returned home. Catherine glanced at Louise with lingering interest, and the two nodded to each other when Solanlian wasn't looking.

The plan begins!
