Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Chapter 23: Hug



Chapter 23: Hug

Penelope's home was located at the edge of the city area of London. It was a very normal two-story villa building. The family belonged to the middle-class, not poor, nor rich.

It took more than an hour to drive. Because the speed of the car was basically less than sixty miles, most of the time, it traveled at forty miles. Sometimes, it would slow down when it came to narrow streets.

Moreover, there were all kinds of formalities and slowness between other cars. Along the way, even the honks between cars were rarely heard.

In terms of driving, Coven had to admit that he was convinced of the English gentleman style. He was afraid that he could not live a life of driving in this country with an impatient personality.

Along the way, Coven also talked a lot with Clearwater's family, but he only revealed that he and Ollivander were adopted, and did not say that he was attacked.

After all, this involved the dark side of the magic world, and it was not good to say those things in front of Penelope.

At the same time, Coven also had a general understanding of Clearwater's family.

As Coven expected, before Penelope received the 'Hogwarts Acceptance Letter', Mr. Clearwater and Penelope knew nothing about the magic world.

As expected, the identity of Mrs. Clearwater was a wizard. However, she hid her identity very well. It was not until Penelope received the admission notice that she confessed her identity to her husband and daughter...

When they got home, they stopped the car. Clearwater and his family warmly guided Coven into the house. Because they knew that Coven had 'amnesia' through chatting on the road, they treated Coven with meticulous care.

They even thought that Coven knew nothing about the world of ordinary people, so almost wherever Coven looked, Clearwater's family would explain to Coven what it was and what it was used for.

It was not until Penelope could not wait to show off his collection to Coven that the Clearwater couple stopped the explanations and asked Penelope to lead Coven upstairs. Meanwhile, the couple went into the kitchen and began to prepare lunch.

After appreciating Penelope's fairy tale books and dolls, explaining the story of Diagon Alley to Penelope, both Coven and Penelope were going downstairs to eat. After lunch, Coven taught Penelope 'Levitation Charm'.

By the time Penelope had successfully mastered the 'Levitation Charm', it was already four in the afternoon.

After all, Coven was not sincere in coming out to be a guest, so he said goodbye.

"But, it's almost dinner time." Penelope was very reluctant. "Can you just go back after dinner?"

"No, no." Coven shyly refused. "Every evening, I have to go to the bookstore to help tidy up the bookshelves. As the price for reading there every day, it is almost the time."

"But..." Penelope still wanted to say something.

"Alright, Penelope." Mrs. Clearwater interrupted her daughter and said softly, "It is impolite not to disturb Coven's work."

"Yes, Penelope." Mr. Clearwater also smiled and said, "There is still a month before school starts. If you miss Coven, you can go to Diagon Alley to invite him to our house to play."

"Who, who wants to miss him!" Penelope's pretty face was visibly red.

Coven was a little embarrassed. 'Is this a topic an 11-year-old girl should understand...'

Perhaps she was too shy, so Penelope did not continue to persuade Coven to stay. Mr. Clearwater reached out and took off his coat from the hanger at the door.

Seeing this, Coven hurriedly said, "Mr. Clearwater, you don't have to send me back."

"How can that be?" Mr. Clearwater put on his clothes and said with a smile, "Since I brought you out, I have to send you back safely."

"There's really no need, sir." Coven continued to refuse, "This place is not far from the main road. After walking for more than two hundred meters, I can call 'Knight bus'. I will take the bus directly back to 'Leaky Cauldron'."

While saying,

Coven looked at Madam Clearwater for help.

Seeing this, Madam Clearwater nodded in agreement and said to her husband, "That's right, and the' Knight bus' is relatively fast. It will only take more than ten minutes."

"Really?" Penelope interrupted in surprise, "Then next time we go to Diagon Alley, can we also take Knight's Bus?"

"I don't recommend you to take that." Mrs. Clearwater shook her head in amusement and looked at Coven.

Seeing this, Coven explained to Penelope with a wry smile, "To be honest, the experience of riding a knight bus is not really comfortable. Some people are used to it, but I am still a little unaccustomed to it. Um... How do I describe it? Can you consider the feeling of getting into the washing machine..."

"Then..."

"Alright, Penelope." Madam Clearwater interrupted her daughter again and persuaded, "I know you still have many questions, but you can ask me or ask Coven next time. Now, we should not delay Coven's time, okay?"

"Okay, mom," Penelope answered with some disappointment.

"Then I'll send you to the car." Mr. Clearwater said to Coven.

"There's really no need, sir." Coven refused again. "It's rare to come out. I want to take a walk. You should have seen the environment in Diagon Alley today. There is no room for a walk there."

"Haha, that's right." Mr. Clearwater laughed. His tone was sour but also a little contemptuous. "I thought the magic world would be beautiful, but after seeing it with my own eyes today, it is really..."

"Uh-huh!" Mrs. Clearwater made a sound and looked at her husband with a sour look.

"Uh... haha..." Mr. Clearwater immediately stopped talking and laughed awkwardly.

"Then I will bid you farewell." Seeing this, Coven timely opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere. He said goodbye, "Sir, Madam, Penelope, I look forward to meeting you next time."

"Good child, you are always welcome to come and play." Madam Clearwater responded.

"Yes, be careful on the road." Mr. Clearwater warned.

"Then Coven, I will study at home for the next two days. If there is any problem, I will go to you." Penelope said reluctantly.

"Of course." Coven smiled and nodded. "You can also write to me and ask your owl to send me the letter. Just fill in the address 'Ollivander Wand Shop'."

"Then, when you receive the letter, you must immediately reply to me," Penelope warned.

Coven guaranteed, "Don't worry."

"Then goodbye." As Penelope spoke, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Coven.

Coven was stunned, and then he seemed to be at a loss, which made Clearwater and his wife laugh...
