Mr. Leme's words plunged the entire Alchemy Room into silence.
The quietest of all was the Scamander family.
Newt looked at Mr. Leme in shock, thinking that we had already reached an agreement, and we must help my aunt and Potter...
Mr. Leme, oh Mr. Leme, who would've thought you'd be the first to betray us!
Pabi wanted to sniff hard to express protest, but felt a bit intimidated in front of Vivi.
"What... what kind of magic replenishment method is this?"
Harry was shocked. He couldn't believe that absorbing the Magic Stone would have such an effect?
What is this? A human-shaped walking Magic Stone? Or maybe...
"As you see, Mr. Potter." Mr. Leme trotted over to Vivi, "So, Vivi, why not give it a try?"
Vivi finally put away her astonished expression, walked to Harry's side, and took Harry's hand.
She only felt a warm current flow from the point where their hands met, gradually circulating throughout her body, slowly, she felt as if her magic power was reviving.
"So slow." She whispered.
"I told you, you need more contact." Mr. Leme crossed his arms, "This not only affects the speed of magic replenishment, but also influences magic strength... you wouldn't want the magic strength of a first-year student, would you?"
"Oh."
Vivi nodded, looking at Harry.
"Harry, give me your other hand." she said.
Harry's little face turned crimson, hesitatingly, but in the end was grabbed by Vivi for the other hand.
Vivi's hand was very soft and delicate, holding it really felt nice.
"Eh? What's happening?"
Pabi suddenly exclaimed.
Awakened from his reverie, Harry raised his head and asked blankly, "What happened?"
"Look at Vivi's hair!" Pabi exclaimed, "It's changing color!"
Harry looked up at Vivi and finally noticed that her hair was no longer silver, but had turned a pale gold.
"What's going on? Mr. Leme?" Harry asked, puzzled, looking at Mr. Leme.
"Oh, it might be due to her body," Mr. Leme squinted at Vivi's hair and said to Harry, "You needn't worry—her hair color represents the magic power index within her body... when the color lightens, it means you need to continue supplying her with magic."
"There's such a saying?" Harry was utterly baffled.
He somehow recalled sneaking around with Dudley to play video games, with the battery indicator on the screen...
Could it be that magic, like electricity, and Vivi's hair was like a battery indicator?
Silver white meant a depleted battery, gold meant fully charged?
"A bit like a Muggle battery," Newt recklessly commented, voicing the thoughts of most present.
Theseus broke out in a sweat for his good little brother... so many years have passed, yet my foolish brother still can't shake the habit of suddenly blurting out comments.
"When you put it that way, it really does resemble it a bit."
Vivi didn't feel offended, she took Harry's hand and sat down by the chair, pulling him close and holding him in her arms.
Harry only felt immersed in a soft embrace, and instinctively wanted to escape forward, but was held firmly by Vivi's arm around his waist.
"Be good, don't move." Vivi said softly.
Harry stiffened on the spot, sitting on Vivi's lap, neither able to walk away nor continue sitting there.
But with this arrangement, Vivi's magic replenishment rate was indeed faster; her hair was restoring to its original color at almost a visible pace.
Newt suddenly cleared his throat.
"Miss Grindelwald, I must remind you, Mr. Potter is only twelve."
Newt tried to appear considerate for both of them.
For his aunt's happiness, he decided to act decisively—
At least to pull Miss Grindelwald closer to starting from the same line as his aunt, he thought.
"As his professor for the next semester, I feel it's necessary to remind you that he is still a child..."
Saying these words made Newt feel as if he used all his life's courage.
But for his aunt...
Pabi stretched out her mouth, biting Newt's clothes, tugging hard backward.
She truly feared that the terrifying transfer student would suddenly get angry and harm her nephew.
"You're quite right, Professor Scamander." Vivi smiled and ruffled Harry's tousled hair: "But I think, precisely because Harry is still a child, I should not let him get away—"
"You like...?" Newt looked at Vivi in shock, seemingly astonished by her approach.
Vivi glanced at him and said, "I think you should establish a healthy value concept, Professor Scamander—precisely because Harry is a child, I don't need to avoid suspicion, don't you think... my dear little brother?"
She whispered the last sentence close to Harry's ear.
The warm fragrant breath tickled Harry's ear, making it feel very itchy.
This sentence rendered Newt speechless.
So does it mean that I am the one with unhealthy thoughts?
He turned and asked Tina and Theseus in silent lip sync, "Is it really me having unhealthy thoughts?"
Tina hesitated, nodding, while Theseus shook his head frantically.
His expression was clearly... how could you believe the cunning Grindelwald?
However, at this moment, Harry suddenly thought of Cassandra.
The last time he was held by Vivi due to injury, he happened to encounter Cassandra passing by.
