"So, confess..."

Night, the Scamander residence.

In the bedroom of the three girls, Aeliana sat cross-legged on her bed, puffing out her cheeks with an unhappy expression.

"Who spread the rumor that I prefer to sleep alone and am prone to waking up in the middle of the night? Luna, Hannah, how could you deceive Mrs. Scamander like that? I thought we were friends... best friends?"

"That's how it is, Aeliana. But you really are more suited to sleeping alone!"

Hannah hugged her three-headed dog, Little Fluffy, and looked into Aeliana's eyes, explaining proactively.

"Sorry, but you're really noisy when you sleep at night, and you always wake up so early in the morning, I can't even get a little extra sleep. Besides, Aeliana, aren't you the easiest one to wake up among us?"

"That was when I first arrived at Hogwarts! It's normal to be a bit vigilant in an unfamiliar environment, isn't it?"

"Mr. Scamander's house is also an unfamiliar environment, you've actually been very tense all along—"

Luna leaned on Hannah's shoulder, speaking with a very certain tone.

While saying that, Luna's gaze drifted towards a point slightly behind Aeliana's body.

"Otherwise... you wouldn't have been maintaining the 'Binary Rewind Modification Architecture' magic ever since you came in, even though the amplitude is very small, it's definitely been there the whole time, right? This is a state that only appears when you're preparing for battle."

"Hmm, I see."

Aeliana's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems you've made great progress this holiday, Luna. You know, even Mr. Scamander didn't see through the illusion I cast around my body, I didn't expect you to discover it. It's always good to be careful..."

"Eh? Illusion?! But..."

Hannah was slightly stunned, why didn't she feel anything, everything was clearly normal.

In the next moment, accompanied by Luna's voice, Aeliana's figure suddenly blurred.

Immediately afterwards, Aeliana became clear again, reappearing in Hannah's sight, but she had moved a few feet further back compared to her previous position, and besides that, the girl's expression and movements also suddenly wavered.

It was as if...

The whole world fast-forwarded a few seconds with Aeliana as the center.

"However, you're wrong about one thing."

Aeliana shook her finger, smiled slightly, and said quite seriously.

"This isn't a state developed in preparation for battle, compared to the end of the semester, I can now keep myself in a 'cut' state for a long time, as a constant protective magic... although it's only for one or two seconds before and after for now."

"Similar to a fish under water? I understand."

Luna's eyes flickered, she pondered for a few seconds, and nodded in realization.

"Yeah, it's roughly similar, I mean the general direction is correct... the specific details are all wrong though!"

Aeliana shrugged her shoulders, pinching a strand of hair and drawing circles flexibly in the air, rippling out layers of transparent ripples, as if the air in front of her had suddenly become a still pool of water.

"This is the displacement phenomenon of light path refraction, although the results are similar, it's different in certain specific scenarios."

"...So, fast-forward?" Luna blinked hesitantly.

During this summer vacation, besides previewing magic courses at home, the old men who lived near her house also taught her a lot about non-magical knowledge, so she roughly knew something about light and shadow.

However, on the other side, Hannah was clearly completely dazed.

The poor, innocent girl wandered between Aeliana and Luna for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stand up, walked to the aisle, and stood between the two Lunas, trying to interject into the conversation.

"Stop, stop, stop! Pause for a second!"

Hannah waved her hands wildly, expressing the anger of a struggling student.

"Could someone please explain what's going on? Luna, you didn't explain it clearly before, why is Aeliana constantly on high alert, and what just happened, what's with the fast-forward, slow-forward..."

Although she was among the top students in the first year of Hufflepuff, compared to the prodigious Luna, Hermione, and Aeliana, Hannah had always been at the bottom of the "strange knowledge" learning chain among the girls.

Fortunately, her strength has increased significantly in the past month or two.

If Aeliana didn't "rua" her, she might be pressed down by her—after all, compared to a mediocre Veela who barely changed at all, Hannah had grown quite a bit in both height and figure.

Of course...

This came at a price, for example...

Aeliana glanced at the innocent girl's... heart, with a complicated expression, thought about it, and explained.

"In most cases, the strongest state of a top wizard is when they are in their own 'Wizard's Tower', 'Demon King's Castle', 'Floating City', 'Gundam' ... these meticulously crafted residences."

"And this small space independent of the world is Newt Scamander's private domain."

"As outsiders, if we have a dispute with Mr. and Mrs. Scamander, we are very likely to be at a considerable disadvantage in the first instance—assuming the worst-case scenario, we should be in a position of absolute disadvantage."

"Therefore, I used the 'Binary Rewind Modification Architecture' to intercept my actions a few seconds ago, completely covering a small area around me, producing a 'delayed playback' effect, so as to be able to switch from defense to offense at any time..."

Aeliana simply explained her magical protection, and Luna occasionally helped to supplement some basic points.

In the magical world, most of the attack methods still rely on visual locking.

Light-based straight-line magic doesn't need to be said, those are completely equivalent to conventional kinetic weapons in the non-magical world, and similar to Levitation Charms, Transfiguration... this type of "subjective mental" magic, also mostly needs to rely on eyesight to determine the position.

The principle of the constant 'Time Shield (pseudo)' is very simple—constraining the reflection of light from oneself, delaying it by one or two seconds and then 'playing' the same light path, basically without needing to consume too much energy and imagination.

"But, Aeliana..."

Hannah raised her head in confusion, looking at Aeliana.

"I still don't understand, why are you afraid of Mr. Scamander? I heard from my uncle that Mr. Scamander played an extremely important role in the First Wizarding War, and even Grindelwald's downfall was largely due to him—with Mr. Scamander, the nemesis of dark wizards, around, it should be very safe, right?"

"Because... I'm also half a magical creature, you idiot Hannah."

Aeliana turned her head, glared at Luna who wanted to speak but stopped, and sighed softly.

"Veela, I'm a half-Veela. Professor Dumbledore told me when he accepted me into school that special existences like me are no less than precious potion ingredients in the eyes of magical creature researchers, similar to how Professor Snape sees them."

"Eh?! A-Aeliana, you're not human?" Hannah was first surprised, and then quickly covered her mouth.

"Um... so before I can completely see Mr. Scamander's true colors..."

While saying that, Aeliana naturally got off the bed, took Hannah's hand, and led her back to sit by her bed.

"You see, I need to be especially careful—under such dangerous circumstances, I definitely can't sleep alone, what if they catch me and lock me in a cage to study me? Hannah, you'll definitely protect me, right?"

"Of course!" Hannah nodded without thinking.

Aeliana's lips curled into a sly arc, and she said softly.

"Then tonight, can I hug you to sleep? You're the only ones I can rely on..."

"Yeah! Huh?"

Hannah Abbott was stunned for a moment, scratching her cheek.

She felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

However, the news that Aeliana was not human was too shocking, so she didn't immediately realize the logic of these things—how did Newt Scamander suddenly become a little scary?

"Then what about Luna? If Luna sleeps alone, what if she gets caught too..."

The innocent girl tried to sort out the logic, and subconsciously looked at Luna sitting alone on the other side.

If she wasn't mistaken, Luna seemed to have already started tidying up her pillow, preparing to crawl directly into bed to sleep, without the slightest worry about what Aeliana had said, and without any surprised expression.

"It's okay, Luna will come over too... soon..."

Aeliana glanced at the little moon who had sacrificed "Hannah" and was ready to sleep peacefully, and smiled slightly.

The silver-haired little witch took out her wand and tapped lightly on the wall next to the back of her bed.

Immediately afterwards, a blurry light and shadow gradually began to become clear, and finally solidified into a red and white ball.

"Luna, the last episode of the Pokémon Indigo League is about to start, aren't you really going to come and watch it? This time, it won't be replayed after it's broadcast, you see, the theme song is about to start..."

"Pokémon, I choose you!"

"Whether in fire, water..."

"In grass or forest..."

Before the familiar music could start, Luna, who was almost in her blanket, suddenly jumped up.

"Ah! I'm coming, I'm coming! Wait for me!"

Without bothering to put on her shoes, Luna jumped out of bed and ran over barefoot, hurriedly squeezing onto Aeliana's bed, staring intently at the "Pokémon (Original Series)" animation that was playing on the wall.

She had finally caught up to the finale, it would be too painful to miss this episode.

The last episode... the last episode...

Once she saw Ash win the championship, she wouldn't watch it anymore.

Anyway, she had almost mastered the "Binary Rewind Modification Architecture Magic" developed by Aeliana, although the clarity was slightly worse, and the sound quality was temporarily not as good as the "original" clarity, but at least she could watch it herself.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the girls' bedroom.

Immediately afterwards, Newt Scamander's voice came from outside.

"Ahem, kids. Tina asked me to come and remind you that it's getting late..."

Creak—

Before Newt could finish his sentence, the originally closed door slowly opened.

Aeliana's wand glided in a graceful arc, and the animation scene that was originally projected on the head of the bed instantly moved to the center of the room, turning into a giant 3D projection more than one meter high and three meters wide.

Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, and Ash's images flashed by in turn...

The appearances of countless Pokémon flashed, disappeared, and reappeared with the music...

Newt Scamander froze on the spot, murmuring with vacant eyes.

"Th-These are..."

"Pokémon, imaginary magical creatures..."

"B-But, Tina said, you should be going to sleep..."

A look of struggling wonder appeared on Newt Scamander's face, while looking at the magical creatures he had never seen before, he said absentmindedly, as a magical creature lover, this scene was too shocking.

"Don't worry, of course we're going to sleep~~ We'll sleep after watching this episode..."

The Third Generation Dark Lord tilted her head, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she casually flicked her hair.

Plan B, activate!

"Oh! That's right! I almost forgot to introduce, your part-time 'Magical Creatures Association' is also in here! Or, dear Mr. Scamander, would you like to watch a few minutes of the animation with us first?"

"Th-Then... then just watch a few minutes..."

Newt hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly.

Anyway, Tina hadn't urged him too urgently...

So, why not accompany these few little girls to watch a few minutes of animation?

Hmm... it shouldn't take up too much time...

They were just some imaginary, non-existent magical creatures, probably not of much reference value, he would just watch the beginning, and then he would send these children to bed!

Thinking this way, Newt subconsciously pulled a small wooden stool and sat down...
