In a Mercedes convertible sports car, Link and Madam Flamel were sitting in silence in their seats.
Madam Flamel's driving skills were very good, and she was also very bold. Even in the city, the speed of this convertible sports car reached close to 80 miles per hour.
This caused Link's hair to be blown about like seaweed in a tsunami, as messy as his mood at this moment.
To be honest, he never imagined that Madam Flamel would actually be such a young beauty, and she even seemed to especially like Muggle culture and things.
This could be seen from her driving the sports car and the pile of obviously newly bought luxury goods in the back seat.
However, her cold and aloof personality was probably real. After all, since the moment the two of them met until now, Madam Flamel had only said one sentence, and the rest of the time hadn't even glanced at Link once.
Thinking this way, Link instinctively turned his head to glance at Madam Flamel.
The other party was still wearing sunglasses, expressionless as she drove the car, with no intention of communicating with Link at all.
Sighing, Link silently turned his head back. He felt that the next two months might not be easy for him.
But just at this moment, Madam Flamel suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the sports car turned into a small alley.
This was just an ordinary small alley. Maybe usually it was a gathering spot for some small-time gangsters from nearby neighborhoods, because the corners of the walls were scattered with cigarette butts, and the walls were covered in large areas of graffiti.
Most importantly, this was a dead-end alley. At the end of the alley, there was only a darkened, yellowing wall and two garbage bins filled with trash.
Moreover, even as she drove into the alley, Madam Flamel showed no intention of slowing down or stopping; instead, she accelerated.
Seeing the wall rapidly approaching ahead, Link's eyes instantly widened, and he instinctively wanted to shout and stop her.
But before he could make a sound, the sports car crashed into the wall.
Boom!
With a dull bang, a burst of white light exploded in the air.
Link only felt like he had been stuffed into a washing machine that had started spinning. After turning dizzy for a while, everything finally returned to normal.
And at this moment, what appeared before Link was a winding forest path.
The two of them drove the sports car along the path, and after circling a large, sparkling lake, they finally stopped in front of an old-style castle.
Clack!
Madam Flamel pulled up the handbrake, then got out of the car directly and walked toward the castle without caring about Link or the various luxury items in the back seat.
Seeing this, Link quickly followed.
The two had only taken a few steps when a house-elf dressed in a spotless pillowcase quickly walked out of the castle.
"Masters! Young master! You're finally here! Little Button is so happy!"
He rubbed his hands together, warmly welcoming Link and Madam Flamel.
But Madam Flamel didn't pay any attention to him, directly dragging Link toward the castle.
The house-elf named Little Button didn't mind either. With a snap of his fingers, all the luxury shopping bags big and small in the car floated up and followed him into the castle.
After entering the castle, Link's expression was very serious.
He knew that Madam Flamel would definitely speak to him soon, and this would be the biggest challenge he was going to face.
He had to give it his all to avoid revealing his secret in front of Madam Flamel.
But what surprised him was that just as they entered the castle, Madam Flamel suddenly whipped off her sunglasses, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face, and then she smiled and rushed toward Link with open arms.
"My little Link! You've finally come! Let Mommy have a good look at you! Mua! Mua!"
Madam Flamel was clearly a little too excited. She hugged Link tightly in her arms, rubbed her cheek against Link's hair a few times, and then directly planted two bright red lipstick marks on his face.
This left Link completely stunned again.
At this moment, it wasn't Madam Flamel's actions that stunned Link. It was that he hadn't yet reacted to this sudden wave of enthusiasm from her.
After all, compared to the cold aloofness from earlier, Madam Flamel's current behavior was way too passionate.
This made Link start to suspect whether there was something wrong with Madam Flamel mentally.
'Wait a minute… Mental issues?'
In order to keep bloodlines pure, pure-blood wizarding nobles indeed practiced intermarriage. In that case, the possibility of Madam Flamel having hereditary diseases was indeed very high.
Maybe, even the body he was currently using might have similar symptoms.
'Could this be the illness that Snape and Madam Pomfrey were talking about?' Link couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, seeing that Link wasn't responding to her, Madam Flamel became upset.
She shook Link hard a few times and pouted, "Ah! My little Link has really grown up! He doesn't even talk to Mommy anymore!"
"Ah?"
Link finally came back to his senses. Looking at Madam Flamel's watery eyes and pitiful expression, he hesitated for a moment before forcing out a smile and stiffly said, "M-Mom… Mom."
"Aww! My good son!"
Hearing this, Madam Flamel's face instantly lit up with joy, and after happily replying, she hugged Link again and ruffled his hair.
Not stopping until all of Link's short blond hair was completely messed up, Madam Flamel then cupped his cheeks and said with some heartache, "Oh my little Link! After being away from home for a year, you've gotten thinner!"
After saying that, she put on a cold expression again and turned to the side to speak to Little Button, "Little Button, how's dinner coming along today?"
"Don't worry, Master! Everything is ready! We've prepared roasted squab, roasted spring chicken, roasted foie gras, roasted sausages, roasted suckling pig, roasted whole lamb…"
"Hmm, not bad." Madam Flamel nodded in satisfaction, then turned to smile and ask Link, "Little Link, is there anything else you want to eat?"
"Ah?" Link blanked out and gave a soft sound.
Just now, hearing Little Button list out dishes like a cross-talk performance suddenly gave him flashbacks to listening to stand up comedy in his previous life.
What filled his head was the thought that all the weight he had struggled so hard to lose this year might get gained back in these two months.
But hearing Madam Flamel's question again, he still responded without hesitation, "I want pumpkin stew!"
"Got it! My little master! Little Button won't let you down!" Little Button said excitedly, then snapped his fingers and disappeared in front of Link.
Seeing this, Madam Flamel nodded in satisfaction, then gently pinched Link's cheeks and said, "My little Link really did well this year. Dumbledore and Snape, those two old guys, both wrote to me saying that you've performed very well."
"Now tell me, what reward do you want? The latest model flying broom? A new gift set from the Magic Joke Shop? Or a new pet? No matter what you want, Mommy will buy it for you!"
"Uh, actually I don't…" Link scratched his head awkwardly and waved his hand while speaking. But before he could finish his sentence, a familiar voice came from outside the castle again.
"Aunt Leonie! I've come to see you!"
