They slept wrapped in blankets on the train in the middle of the night and didn't arrive at King's Cross Station until the next morning. After the Hogwarts Express stopped, Hermione and Jiang Yue packed their luggage and walked through Station 9¾. Both families were already waiting for them. Curiously, they didn't see Hermione and Jiang Yue right away. It wasn't until Hermione and Jiang Yue excitedly called out to them that they suddenly noticed the two children.
The Grangers hugged Hermione tightly. Jiang's mother held Jiang Yue, cupped her face, looked at her, and said, "You've lost weight!" Jiang's father hesitated, noticing that she looked a little chubby, but didn't dare say anything after being glared at by Jiang's mother. Jiang Yue smiled and hugged her parents, saying, "Mom and Dad, I missed you."
"Good child, we missed you too." Jiang's mother hugged Jiang Yue tightly. Family members, who understands! The child had only been with us for a little over a year before running off to go to school, and she was even living at school. She only had a few days off a year, and we relied entirely on owls for communication. Who understands this feeling?
After returning home, Jiang Yue gave away all the gifts she had given to her professor and classmates, as well as her parents. On the first day, she even tried some of the food at Hogwarts. Only after her mother tasted it did she feel relieved and finally believe that Jiang Yue was doing well at school. For the next few days, she practically kept Jiang Yue under her watchful eye. Jiang Yue felt the love and longing her parents had accumulated. She lived like a little good-for-nothing, not even having to throw away an apple core herself, and her mother fed her with a spoon.
These past few days, Jiang's mother has been asking if Jiang Yue has been bullied at school. After all, there has been a lot of bullying in schools these days, especially in middle and high school (this is not an exaggeration; Harry's cousin Dudley said that their school would shove freshmen's heads into the toilet). Jiang's parents are also worried that Jiang Yue will be bullied, especially since she is in a magic school and is from another country.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. You can ask Hermione. Besides, even if someone wants to bully me, they don't have the ability. Ravenclaw is a house for smart people. We study every day. We don't even have enough time to read. Who would do something so boring? In addition, the professors at our school get along well. I've even joined our headmaster's Charms Club. I'm the only one at such a young age. The professors are too busy taking care of me."
"That's good, that's good. It sounds like you've met a good teacher."
After talking about life, Jiang's mother started talking to Jiang Yue about dating. "Don't you think this is a bit too early?" Jiang Yue readily agreed. She hadn't really thought about it. Why bother with men? Isn't magic better?

On Christmas Eve, Jiang Yue gave two pills to her parents. Although they didn't have the effect of restoring youth, they could strengthen their bodies and reduce the number of times they got sick in the future. When Jiang Yue woke up the next morning, she went downstairs and saw that the Christmas tree was piled with gifts.
"Thank you, darling, we love your gift."
After waking up in the morning, Jiang's parents felt the changes in their bodies. Their mental state seemed to have returned to that of their youth. After breakfast, Jiang Yue was unpacking gifts under the sofa, while Jiang's parents were studying the magical items Jiang Yue had brought back. There were self-heating kettles, automatic razors, and small wooden sticks with the "Clean and Fresh" function. Some of these items were bought in Hogsmeade Village, while others were things Jiang Yue had studied when she was bored.
It wasn't until evening that Jiang Yue remembered, and hurriedly took out a stack of moving photos and a two-way mirror from her space. The photos were all taken by Jiang Yue at Hogwarts, including photos of her catching a big fish in the Black Lake, photos of her eating, and photos of her dormitory and classroom. They were all photos that Jiang Yue usually took. After handing the photos to her parents, they were also amazed.
Jiang's father noticed the two mirrors Jiang Yue had taken out. He picked up one of the mirrors and examined it, but it didn't show his image. Just as he was getting into it, Jiang's mother also saw it, picked up the mirror, looked at it, and asked Jiang Yue, "Honey, is this mirror also a magical item?"
Jiang Yue smiled mysteriously, picked up the mirror from her father's hand, and said to the mirror, "Calling Mom!" Then an interface appeared on her mother's mirror, similar to a WeChat call, with a message saying "Jiang Yue invites you to video chat" and two buttons below, "Accept" and "Reject." Because the interface was very simple, her mother quickly understood how to use it.
She tried clicking "accept," and the interface changed to Jiang Yue's. Her own avatar appeared in the upper right corner, and there was a red hang-up button at the bottom. Jiang's father exclaimed in disbelief, and Jiang Yue could also hear his voice from her side.
After figuring out how to use it, Jiang's mother happily asked Jiang Yue, "Can this mirror be used inside Hogwarts?"
Jiang Yue nodded to indicate that it was acceptable. Jiang's mother was so happy that she hugged the mirror tightly and didn't want to let go. In the end, Jiang Yue had the two of them drip a drop of blood onto the mirror. At first, the two of them were a little hesitant, as this method clearly felt a bit improper.
"Don't be afraid. This is something I researched myself. The blood-dropping ritual is a recognition ceremony. After it's recognized, no one else can use it except the two of you. Secondly, it can locate its position. If you accidentally lose it, you can sense its location and find it. Thirdly, if you encounter danger, it can unleash a spell to protect you."
Jiang's parents were relieved after hearing Jiang Yue's explanation. They then considered making a small cut on their hands with a knife, but Jiang Yue smiled and said, "No need for that." With a wave of her hand, a drop of blood flew from their fingertips and then merged into the mirror. What they didn't notice was that a mirror projection was also imprinted on the inside of their wrists, but it disappeared after a while.
This projection contains a spell that Jiang Yue sealed away. It's an ancient spell that Bai Ze obtained after analyzing Hogwarts, and it was eventually combined with the Vajra Talisman. When in danger, it will activate an invisible shield, and the medium is this mirror. This way, if Jiang Yue is not at home and something happens to her parents, and the mirror breaks, Jiang Yue can apparite back to save them.
Jiang Yue also prepared two mirrors for Hermione. If Jiang Yue weren't a woman, Hermione would have been so moved that she would have offered herself to her. Currently, Bai Ze has already designed a multi-person communication function, but Jiang Yue's technology is not yet capable of making it. Mainly, her recent energy has been focused on learning Animagus, and Jiang Yue has postponed other things. In fact, Jiang Yue wanted to try artificially controlling the weather, but she was afraid that something might go wrong and she would have to waste a precious pill. There was no need to be so reckless; she could just wait.
