"Excuse me, is Miss Hermione Granger at home?"
Landing at Hermione's front door, Hawking walked up and knocked directly.
The door opened, and a middle-aged woman looked at Hawking in confusion before replying:

"Hahaha, that old fool Dumbledore thought that with the Fidelius Charm, we'd never find this place.
"Today, we'll
