As Lin Yue kept counting down the seconds in her mind, the moment the time was up, she gently tapped Hermione, who was still curiously looking at the frozen goods.

"Hermione, it's time. We should go out now; if we don't, the chances of catching a cold or hypothermia will increase."

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Hermione straightened up without any hesitation. "Okay, let's go."

After saying that, she followed Lin Yue out of the cold storage, and the two of them worked together to close and lock the large door of the cold storage.

Rubbing her slightly chilly arms, Hermione curiously turned to Lin Yue. "How did you know that if we stayed longer, we might catch a cold or get hypothermia? Were you watching the time the whole time you were inside?"

Lin Yue nodded calmly. "I was counting down the seconds; we can't stay in the cold storage for too long."

"Impressive, as expected of you." Hermione gave Lin Yue a thumbs up, then pulled her along to continue exploring the villa, feeding Lin Yue chips as they walked.

However, she didn't forget what her mother had told her earlier. After sharing a bag of chips with Lin Yue, Hermione stopped feeding her and didn't eat any snacks herself.

Without Hermione's feeding, Lin Yue wouldn't eat snacks at all, so the chips in her arms looked exactly the same when they left the living room.

When they returned to the living room, she placed the chips on the table without opening the bag. Just then, she heard Mrs. Granger calling them for lunch.

Hurrying to the kitchen, Lin Yue first grabbed a plate and cutlery, then walked out to set the table.

Hermione followed behind her, placing two dishes on the dining table, while Mr. Granger brought over two bowls of onion soup.

Once the table was completely set, Lin Yue stood quietly beside it, waiting until the Grangers were seated before she took her own seat.

Having lived with Lin Yue for two weeks, the Grangers had already gotten used to her daily habits and etiquette.

Therefore, they didn't hold back and directly picked up their cutlery to start eating.

Lin Yue wouldn't eat until they started, so it was better for them to be a bit quicker.

Seeing the Grangers begin their lunch, Lin Yue finally picked up her cutlery to serve herself a portion of steak. She originally intended to eat it all at once and then chew and swallow it.

But looking at Hermione next to her, who was carefully cutting her steak and eating elegantly, and remembering her promise to Hermione to eat slowly in the future, she reconsidered.

Lin Yue placed her eyes, as calm as still water, on the steak and slowly began to cut it into many equally sized small pieces with her knife and fork, then sent them one by one into her mouth.

Sitting next to Lin Yue, Hermione caught sight of this scene and nodded in satisfaction, then lowered her head to continue eating her lunch.

After lunch, the Granger couple was about to leave. Before they departed, Mrs. Granger leaned down and focused on her daughter.

"You can have whatever drinks and snacks you want while you're here for the holiday; consider it a way to relax. But remember to brush your teeth properly. Not just you, all of you kids need to pay attention to this, understand?"

"Don't worry, Mom, we will," Hermione replied obediently, nodding her head.

Only then did Mrs. Granger feel satisfied. She straightened up, rubbed Hermione's head, and affectionately pinched Lin Yue's cheek.

"Good girl, don’t take everything upon yourself. Let Hermione do what she can."

Hearing her mother’s words, Hermione pouted. What was her mom talking about? She would definitely take the initiative to do things she could do; there was no need for Lin Yue to remind her.

Besides, she couldn't just let Lin Yue do all the work while she rested nearby.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. Be careful on the road," Lin Yue said mechanically, nodding at Mrs. Granger.

Mr. Granger also said goodbye to the two girls, and the couple drove away.

The villa's gate slowly closed, leaving only Lin Yue and Hermione in the entire villa; the rest of Harry and the others wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

Although there were many empty rooms in the villa, Hermione, who had slept with Lin Yue for two weeks, still wanted to sleep with her. There was no other reason; having Lin Yue beside her while sleeping was simply too satisfying.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

The feeling of being held was exceptionally good.

Turning to look at Lin Yue with anticipation, Hermione lowered her voice and asked, "Lin Yue, will you still sleep with me?"

Sleeping with Hermione meant being together all night, which made it easier to protect her. Lin Yue's mind instinctively made this equation.

Reaching a conclusion, Lin Yue nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Hermione's face lit up with joy as she received Lin Yue's affirmative response, and she pulled her upstairs. It was noon, and they could still take a good nap.

Lying on the bed, Lin Yue looked calmly at Hermione, who was sleeping soundly with her arms around her. Lin Yue's right hand was discreetly resting in her pants pocket, where her wand was kept.

The first two weeks of summer vacation were about to pass, and the enforcement personnel might come knocking at any moment. She had to remain vigilant at all times.

Throughout the entire nap, Lin Yue's hand never left her wand, and her mind remained tense. She listened carefully to the sounds around her, her eyes occasionally darting between the door and the window.

When Hermione woke up, the first thing she saw was Lin Yue, whose eyes were clear and expressionless.

Rubbing her eyes sleepily, Hermione said in a lazy voice, "Lin Yue... didn't you take a nap?"

Lin Yue calmly stated the fact, "It's not my sleeping time now; I won't feel sleepy."

"Alright... I understand," Hermione sighed helplessly and sat up to shake off her drowsiness.

Lin Yue also sat up, got out of bed, and moved her limbs a bit. With a solemn expression, she turned to look at Hermione.

Hermione covered her mouth and yawned, then got out of bed to wash her face. She glanced at the time; it was four in the afternoon.

Her gaze slowly moved to the clock in the room. Seeing that it was four o'clock, Lin Yue didn't say anything; the preparation time for dinner should be at five, and it wasn't time yet.

After watching television with Hermione for an hour, Lin Yue finally got up to prepare dinner in the kitchen. Hermione, being very cooperative, followed her into the kitchen to help.

In the kitchen, the gas and knives posed certain dangers, so Lin Yue instinctively kept Hermione away from those, handing her a whisk and a few eggs instead.

Hermione understood what she meant and smoothly began to crack the eggs. While beating the eggs, she watched Lin Yue cook. Lin Yue's knife skills were excellent; before Hermione's eyes could keep up, she had already finished chopping the vegetables. No matter how many times she watched, it was still shocking. Hermione clicked her tongue in her mind and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Lin Yue, you chop so fast, aren't you afraid of cutting your hand?"

She had also chopped vegetables under her mother's supervision, but she was very slow. Even her mother, Mrs. Granger, wasn't quick at chopping; after all, safety was the most important thing. Lin Yue's hands moved without any pause, so fluidly that it was dazzling.

"In the beginning, yes, but after doing it a lot, you get used to it."

She spoke the most truth in a calm tone, and Hermione frowned deeply after hearing it. While beating the eggs, she leaned over to look at Lin Yue's hands. Fortunately, there were no scars; it seemed that when Lin Yue had accidentally cut her hand before, the wound wasn't very deep.

Lin Yue, of course, noticed Hermione's gaze, but her movements showed no signs of slowing down. Analyzing based on what Hermione had said earlier, Lin Yue easily guessed what she was looking at—whether she had scars on her hands. Thanks to the world consciousness that had regressed her physical age, she currently had no scars on her body. However, she did have quite a few scars on her original body, including knife scars from her early vegetable chopping practice and many frostbite marks on her hands and feet.

Lin Yue thought about this without any feelings and placed the chopped vegetables into the pot. The two girls worked together to prepare a hearty dinner that was not excessive in quantity. After dinner, Lin Yue watched TV with Hermione for the whole evening, and it wasn't until eleven o'clock that Hermione pulled her upstairs to sleep.

Lying in bed, Lin Yue was embraced by Hermione. Listening to Hermione's gradually steady breathing, Lin Yue knew clearly that she had fallen asleep. Her bright eyes blinked in the night; since she had changed into pajamas that had no pockets, she placed her wand under her pillow and tightly gripped it with her right hand.

At midnight, Lin Yue slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly, just like before. The difference this time was that her sleep only stayed in the lightest layer, ensuring that she could wake up at the slightest sound.

In the middle of the night, Hermione murmured and turned over, causing Lin Yue to suddenly open her eyes. She quickly drew her wand from under the pillow, pointing it at the side Hermione had turned to, her face unchanged, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

Five minutes later, when there was still no movement in the direction her wand was pointing, Lin Yue slowly lowered her wand, lay back down, and placed it back under her pillow, still tightly gripping it with her right hand.

She woke up once every hour, and each time Hermione turned over, Lin Yue would sit up alertly. By six o'clock, she got up as usual, feeling a dull pain in her head.

Standing up and shaking her head, Lin Yue put on her slippers and went downstairs to make breakfast. She quickly prepared breakfast and hurried back upstairs. After confirming that Hermione was still lying in bed, the tension in her mind eased slightly.

At eight-thirty in the morning, Hermione sat up and rubbed her eyes. Lin Yue was sitting beside her, her right hand in her pants pocket, staring at her without blinking.

If it were someone else staring at her like that upon waking up, Hermione would have definitely found a way to escape or resist. But with Lin Yue, Hermione simply opened her arms and gently hugged her waist, even instinctively rubbing against her.

"You wake up so early every day; you should sleep in a little."

Lin Yue looked down at Hermione, who was holding her waist, feeling nothing in her heart, just a slight increase in her heart rate. "I can't be lazy, and I can't indulge myself. Once I give in the first time, I won't be able to resist wanting more."

Hermione, holding Lin Yue's waist, let out a helpless sigh. "Breakfast is ready, let's get up and eat."

Lin Yue's voice was flat and emotionless. Hermione nodded and got up to head to the bathroom. Without any hesitation, Lin Yue followed Hermione to the bathroom door, lowered her head, and stood there, listening carefully to the sounds inside to ensure Hermione was safe.

After washing up, Hermione came out of the bathroom, and they both went downstairs to have breakfast.

After the two girls finished breakfast, they sat in the living room, watching TV and waiting for the other five people to arrive.

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the sound of a doorbell rang throughout the villa; someone was ringing the doorbell at the entrance of the villa.

Hermione stood up, ready to go to the gate to open the door, but Lin Yue stepped ahead of her.

When they reached the gate, Lin Yue drew her wand with her right hand and pressed the button for the electric door with her left hand, causing the villa's gate to slowly open.

Standing outside were Harry and Ron. "Good morning!" ×2

The two boys smiled brightly and waved at Lin Yue and Hermione, but their smiles froze instantly when they saw the wand tightly gripped in Lin Yue's hand.

"What’s... going on?" Harry hesitantly pointed at the wand in Lin Yue's hand.

It was forbidden to use magic during the holidays, right? And why was Lin Yue still holding her wand when she came to pick them up? Was she planning to teach them a lesson? They hadn't arrived late; they got there at nine. Ron was also "brainstorming" like Harry. He even cautiously glanced at Hermione, who was blocked by Lin Yue, only to see her looking just as surprised at Lin Yue's tightly held wand. Lin Yue confirmed that the visitors were indeed Harry and Ron, not any enforcement personnel, and put her wand back in her pocket, nodding indifferently.

"Good morning, I wasn't sure who was at the door, so just to be safe."

To ensure safety? That was indeed reasonable, considering the villa was quite remote. The explanation convinced the three people present.

After Harry and Ron walked through the gate, before it could close completely, a shout came from the sky, "Don't close the door, Lin Yue, don't close the door."

Lin Yue quickly looked up at the sky. Although she was familiar with the voice, it could be artificially synthesized, so she needed to confirm it with her own eyes.

Fortunately, upon confirmation, the person rapidly approaching on a flying broomstick was indeed her roommate, Senior Cho Chang.

She pressed the button to control the electric door, allowing it to open again, while keeping her eyes fixed on Cho Chang to prevent any sudden attacks from behind her.

Cho Chang's flying skills were quite impressive; she swooped down and landed steadily on the ground.

"Good morning, everyone," Cho Chang said with a warm smile, waving at the four people present.

"Good morning, Senior Cho Chang," they all replied in unison.

After welcoming Cho Chang inside, Lin Yue closed the electronic door again.

Hermione stepped forward, curiously looking at the somewhat disheveled Cho Chang. "Senior Cho Chang, since you were already riding a flying broom, why didn't you just fly in directly?"

Cho Chang smiled and tidied her hair, which had been tousled by the wind, and explained to the younger student from the Muggle world, "Because in the magical world, landing directly on a flying broom in someone else's home, just like Apparition into someone else's house is considered impolite."

"Oh, I see," Hermione nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue quietly observed their conversation, firmly committing these two etiquette rules, which she had previously been unaware of, to memory.
