What would happen if a wizard faced an adult leopard without a wand or any magic... No one knew more about this than Kyle.

He had been in Dorset for a week, and during these days he had been beaten almost all the time except for eating and sleeping.

The cat's blue eyes could see through Kyle's every thought.

So no matter how he tried to hide, the claw with pink pads would always appear accurately in front of Kyle, and then hit him lightly or heavily.

The intensity of the attack depends mainly on Kyle's use of Occlumency.

The judgment method is also very simple.

If the cat-leopard saw something blurry, it would just pat it lightly as a formality; otherwise, it would kick Kyle into the lake without mercy.

In the past two days, Kyle had to complete a long-distance dive almost every few minutes, and his clothes were always wet.

But as the days went by, Kyle's diving became less and less frequent.

A week later, the cat's claws had become much lighter when they landed again. Kyle just staggered slightly and stood up again as if nothing had happened.

"Very good Kyle, remember to clear your mind of those messy thoughts and emotions."

Next to her, Tina, who was assisting from the sidelines, was holding a small Niffler and said loudly, "Don't worry about what's going to happen to you next. Stay calm and focus on the present!"

Unlike Chris and Newt who had never been here, Tina would come here to visit for a while every day. When she found that Kyle was getting anxious or too emotional, she would remind him.

After hearing her words, Kyle quickly turned his head and gave a thumbs up.

The cat-leopard opposite tilted its head, a look of surprise on its face.

Obviously, it didn't "see" Kyle's action just now, otherwise it would have slapped him.

Tina raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she noticed something.

After leaving the box, she returned to the room and found Newt fiddling with the cauldron.

"I think you can write to Chris."

“So soon?”

Newt looked up in surprise and asked, "It's only been a week, and he can already resist Natalie's Legilimency?"

“Almost done.” Tina put the Sniff in her arms aside and said with a smile, “Natalie is no longer as leisurely as she was at the beginning, and her movements are much faster.

I could see that she was attacking purely on instinct, not Legilimency.

It’s just that neither Kyle nor she realized it.”

After all, cats and leopards are magical animals. Even if it is an instinctive reaction of the body, they will subconsciously think that they "saw" it, it's just blurry.

"It seems that what Dumbledore said is right. Kyle is indeed an excellent kid. I thought he would need to stay here for half a month."

Newt stood up, brushed off the herbal debris on his body, and said with a smile: "Then I will write a letter to Chris now and ask him to pick Kyle up."

"Hmm...wait a minute." Tina suddenly asked, "Did they say there was anything to do recently?"

“Probably not.” Newt thought for a moment and said, “I remember when Chris left, he said he would pick up Kyle to go shopping in Diagon Alley before school started.”

Tina thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to rush. Let Kyle stay here for a few more days. It just so happens that I haven't seen him for a long time."

“Um…didn’t you ask me to write a letter just now?” Newt scratched his head.

Tina said nothing, but just glared at him with a straight face.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Newt squatted back in front of the crucible and added some white powder into it.

The liquid in the crucible soon turned into a beautiful light yellow color, and a pink smoke floated out.

Next to it, the little sniffler who was holding a spoon and stuffing it into his inner pocket suddenly stopped at the things in his hands. He wrinkled his nose, stared at the crucible without blinking, and saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Xiu Xiu's black eyes rolled around, and he climbed up to a nearby shelf with a grunt. Then, he found the right angle, and with a strong push of his short legs, he was about to jump into the crucible.

As a result, when it was still in mid-air, a big hand held it up.

"No, it's not the right time yet. Be patient."

Newt shook his head at it and said, "Also, don't hide the spoon. Take it out now."

Little Sniff covered his pocket with his hands and started to run with his remaining three short legs.

"That won't do."

Newt pinched the Niffler's hind legs and gently tickled its belly with his fingers.

With a series of tinkling sounds, several small gadgets fell out of Sniff's pocket.

There was not only the spoon, but also three Knuts, a button, and a whistle that came out of nowhere.

Even Newt didn't notice when it put these things in.

…

During dinner, Kyle came out of the box wearily.

Tina handed him a towel and asked, "How does it feel?"

"Not very good." Kyle wiped his face. "I don't feel any improvement compared to yesterday."

"This is normal." Tina said with a smile, "And you can't be in a hurry to learn the brain block technique. You have been practicing non-stop for a week. It's a good choice to relax a little."

"That's true." Kyle nodded.

After being beaten for such a long time, he felt that he really needed to do something else to divert his attention.

"How about baking cookies with me tomorrow?" Tina said with a smile, "We can practice in the afternoon."

"Okay." Kyle agreed without thinking.

Although he would rather see the other magical animals in the box, baking cookies was also nice as long as he didn't have to face the cat-leopard named Natalie.

At this moment, Newt suddenly came over and said, "Can the cookies be made into grapefruit flavor?"

"Of course." Tina said with a smile.

She was a little surprised. On the day they settled in Dorset, she made grapefruit-flavored baked cookies, but she didn't expect Newt to still remember them.

"Thank you." Newt washed his hands and sat down at the dining table. He picked up a piece of bread and said, "I remember that Arnar's favorite food is grapefruit."

“…”

The smile on Tina's face disappeared in an instant.

"Sorry..." She said expressionlessly, "I suddenly remembered that I didn't have any grapefruit at home, so I decided to make cream cookies tomorrow."

“Ah?” Newt scratched his head and said, “But you just said…”

"Crack~"

Tina bent the spoon in her hand and said unkindly: "I'll say it again, there are no grapefruits at home!"
