“Many books have mentioned you!” Hermione’s eyes sparkled as she rattled off a long list of book titles to Harry.
“I bought a lot of extra books, and many of them have your name in them.” “Is that so…?” Harry was full of embarrassment and disbelief.
Mentioned him?
Why?
Just for the so-called fact that he defeated Lord Voldemort?
But he didn’t know anything about it.
He was Harry, and only Harry.
Seeming to sense Harry’s awkwardness, Hermione silently closed her mouth.
“Alright, but if my name is ever mentioned in a book in the future, I’ll definitely buy them all and read them cover to cover!” At this time, Harry and Ron merely nodded in understanding, and Ron even felt that if he were written into a book, he would do the same.
They had no idea that many years later, when books in the Wizarding World truly began to mention Hermione in large quantities… The more mature Hermione of that time would absolutely not want to see them.
Merlin knew how embarrassing it was to see others write about you in books.
Pride was one thing, but it was still embarrassing!
This also explained why, after the Head and Deputy Head of the Auror Office presented a large stack of books to the Minister for Magic, the embarrassed Minister for Magic chased them with a wand through the Ministry of Magic.
Of course, these were all later stories.
Right now, they were still at an age where they thought being written into a book was really cool.
Except for Harry, of course.
After chatting with Harry and Ron for a couple more sentences, Canberra and Hermione prepared to continue helping Neville search for his toad.
Before leaving, Hermione specifically gestured to Ron’s nose.
“You have something dirty on your nose.” Ron’s face flushed, and he quickly reached up to wipe it off.
Leaving Harry and Ron’s compartment, Canberra let Hermione re-embrace her arm.
“Harry feels… like an ordinary boy.” “He is an ordinary boy.” Canberra thought about the magic she had just seen belonging to Harry and nodded in agreement.
His magic was indeed stronger than that of other Little Wizards, but there was nothing particularly different about it.
The only slightly strange thing might be… Canberra felt that his magic was a bit muddled, as if something else was mixed in.
Canberra, who also didn’t know much about magic, could only discern this much by instinct; she didn’t know anything beyond that.
“Then how did he defeat a powerful Dark Wizard like Lord Voldemort?
The books say Lord Voldemort’s magic rebounded onto himself.” Hermione tilted her head towards Canberra, seemingly hoping that Canberra, as a Kaiju, could give her an answer.
After all, in her mind, Kaijus seemed omnipotent; they were truly too powerful.
Canberra’s mouth twitched.
She gently tapped Hermione’s little head with a tentacle, lowering her voice to whisper in Hermione’s ear.
“I am a Kaiju, not Merlin.
I don’t know the answer to your question either.” “But this matter must be related to Harry’s parents.
Otherwise, if a newborn human Little Cub could defeat Lord Voldemort… I suggest he stop being the Dark Lord and just go to bed.” If Lord Voldemort were truly defeated by a human Little Cub, it would be like an adult, fully-powered Ghidorah being bitten to death by a newborn Godzilla.
That would be quite the spectacle.
“That makes sense.” Hermione rubbed her head and didn’t dwell on the question any further.
Perhaps no one in the entire Wizarding World knew the answer, so why would she think of asking Canberra?
She had only just entered the Wizarding World herself, how strange… They searched from the front of the train to the back, but Neville’s toad never appeared once.
This made Canberra wonder if she should just use her tentacles to grab all the toads on the entire train.
However, before she could suggest this method, Neville spoke first, thanking her and Hermione and apologizing for taking up their time.
The unspoken words were directly stuck in her mouth, and Canberra silently closed her mouth.
Alright… as long as this human Little Cub figured it out herself.
Anyway, toads didn’t seem like pets worth keeping.
Canberra, who didn’t quite understand the relationship between humans and pets, thought indifferently.
Back in the compartment, Canberra pulled out the lunch that Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, had prepared for her from her trunk.
She had received it the night before she left.
Tom had specifically mentioned that he used a Warming Charm, so the food in the box would remain hot until Canberra ate it.
He hadn’t even accepted the money Canberra offered him.
He was a good human.
Canberra was certain, and it further solidified her resolve to stay at the Leaky Cauldron for a while during her next holiday.
Watching Canberra open her lunchbox to reveal the lavish meal, Hermione unconsciously swallowed, only then realizing that she, too, had started to feel hungry.
She stood on tiptoe to rummage through her trunk for her own lunchbox, which, when opened, contained a lunch no less lavish than Canberra’s.
Canberra glanced at her own lunch, then at Hermione’s lunch.
She extended her right hand and gently pointed, “Shall we eat together?
I want to try yours.” Hermione blinked, then immediately nodded, “Okay!” Eating with Canberra was exactly what she wanted.
Picking up a fork, Canberra tasted a piece of beef from Hermione’s lunchbox and nodded, her eyes bright.
“It’s delicious!” Humans were indeed smart; they knew cooked food tasted better.
Hermione smiled happily.
This bento box was made by her mother, and Canberra praised her mother’s cooking.
Of course, she was happy too.
“My mom made this.
If you like it, why don’t you visit us next time?
No, not next time, how about we just set it for Christmas this year!” Growing more excited as she spoke, she directly hugged Canberra’s left arm, even unconsciously swaying a few times.
“Alright,” Canberra nodded affirmingly, “Anyway, I have nowhere else to go for Christmas besides Hogwarts.” “Then it’s settled.” Hermione said with a grin, using her fork to taste a piece of sausage from Canberra’s lunchbox.
The two girls finished their lunch, taking turns to eat, while Neville opposite them stared in a daze, almost forgetting about his toad, which he had only recently lost.
Putting away her lunchbox, Hermione touched Canberra’s stomach with some concern.
“Are you really full?
You only ate a little and left the rest for me.” Canberra shrugged indifferently.
“I don’t really get full or not full.” “My internal energy is self-circulating; eating is just for satisfying my cravings.” “But you, Little Cub, you’re at the age where human Little Cub grow, so you should eat more.
Look how weak your body is.” Hermione blinked blankly, instinctively looking down at herself.
“Is my body… weak?” Although she loved reading and enjoyed studying Kaijus, she hadn’t forgotten to exercise.
After all, her future dream was to become a scientist who researched Kaijus, and without good physical strength, that would definitely not work.
