However, without sufficient strength to establish himself, Anduin dared not be careless.

Orianna, seeing Anduin staring blankly ahead in the snow, thought the boy was foolish and completely ignoring her. Her large eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

She then bent down, made a snowball in the snow, aimed at the back of Anduin's head, and threw it playfully.

But just as the snowball was about to hit, it suddenly froze in mid-air. Anduin turned his head, glanced at the snowball, and without any action, the snowball suspended in the air was thrown back at Orianna with even greater speed. It hit her squarely in the face. The immense force sent Orianna tumbling backward onto the ground. Sitting up, Orianna seemed not to have realized what had happened, looking at Anduin in a daze.

"You are too weak," Anduin said softly to Orianna before turning and leaving Clock Square.

Orianna, left stunned, watched Anduin walk away. After a long moment, she shouted with a red face, "You're crazy!"

Anduin, walking further away, was completely unaware that he had acted like a complete straight man. He still wore a thoughtful expression, wandering aimlessly in the snow. Gradually, the swirling snowflakes around him seemed to be guided, circling around Anduin. Yet, Anduin appeared completely unfazed.

At this moment, Anduin entered a profound state of enlightenment. It felt as if he had grasped something, yet also grasped nothing. When he came to his senses, he had walked straight to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with snowflakes swirling around him like a nebula formed by spiraling stars.

As a thought arose in his mind, the snowflakes around him spun like they were caught in a storm, whirling into the sky.

"My Levitation Charm! It seems to have broken through some limitations." Anduin sensed the snowflakes around him, feeling as if he could control them at will, unlike before, when he had to concentrate to make an object levitate and move.

Now, as long as objects were within a certain range of his body, anything affected by the Levitation Charm could be influenced by him, including these snowflakes, the air, and possibly even water.

"It seems I can't hold it in for too long. I need to change my mood occasionally," Anduin sighed after discovering his change.

"I wonder if I can do that!" Suddenly, Anduin thought of a problem and began to try to mobilize his magic.

Anduin's magic surged around him, and his body slowly began to float without the aid of any Alchemical Equipment.

"It works! Does this mean I won't need a Flying Broomstick to fly in the future?" The problem Anduin had just realized was whether, with increased control, he could use the concept of the Levitation Charm to make himself fly. He had tried similar methods before, but no matter how he cast the spell, he couldn't make himself float.

Anduin floated half a meter above the ground, bobbing up and down, moving back and forth, playing Happily.

After playing for a while, Anduin landed and pondered the application prospects of this ability. Currently, it didn't seem very ideal. After his attempt, he could only fly up to five or six meters high; any higher was strenuous. As for speed, it wasn't as fast as a Flying Broomstick, but it was definitely cool.

"With practice, the speed and height should gradually increase," Anduin mused.

However, today's gains were already immense. The opportune heavy snowfall had allowed Anduin, in a state of near 'enlightenment,' to greatly improve his magic control.

Anduin could feel that it wasn't just the Levitation Charm; his Magic Sense over his entire body had become much tighter.

He let out a long breath, gathered his thoughts, turned, and left the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. Identifying the direction, he walked towards Hagrid's Cabin.

Since Anduin's enlightenment in the snow, he no longer stayed cooped up in his room all day. He would occasionally go out for walks, admire the Snow Scene, and chat with Vivian. However, the Christmas Holiday was fast approaching, and Anduin packed his luggage and headed to the station, preparing for his Return journey.

On the Steam Train, Anduin and Vivian sat facing each other, chatting while admiring the Snow Scene outside the window. Charles was traveling with his academy friends, so it was just the two of them in the carriage.

"Anduin, what are you writing? Do you have any plans for after Christmas? My father is planning to take me on a holiday to France. I heard their Perfume is very famous. I wonder if my father will give me a bottle," Vivian said, watching Anduin sketch and write, still chattering about the holiday.

Hearing Vivian's topic, he realized that before returning to her family, this young lady had also lived in Muggle Society. Perhaps it was for this reason that the two of them had no generation gap.

"France, huh? Then you'll have to take a lot of pictures. I'm planning for Christmas and thinking about what gifts to give my friends. Oh, right, what do you want for Christmas?" Anduin wasn't good at giving gifts. If it were up to his own preferences, Anduin would directly give books, but he estimated that not many friends would like them.

"If I tell you directly what I want, won't I lose the surprise? Would you tell me if I asked you what gift you wanted?" Vivian rolled her eyes at Anduin.

"It would be best if you could give me a set of Magic Rune Collection. I've had my eye on that set of books for a long time, but it's too expensive. Or a set of 200 standard Potion Bottles would be nice too." Anduin raised his head, looking at Vivian with bright eyes. He knew this girl's family was quite wealthy, so it would be great to receive some good things.

"Uh." Vivian hadn't expected Anduin to be so direct. Afterwards, she turned her head away indignantly and ignored him.

Anduin didn't understand what Vivian meant. Was she going to give them or not? However, he didn't think about it further. Instead, he consulted Vivian about gifts, saying, "What gift should I give to a family that just had a baby? My original idea was to give some Children's Toys. What do you think?"

Seeing Anduin so carefree, Vivian felt helpless. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "What toys can a newborn baby play with? Their parents must have already bought everything they need. If it were me, I'd probably buy some bedtime storybooks or a Music Box that plays a Lullaby. What do you think of this idea?"

Anduin thought it made a lot of sense. He then started crossing out some things on the paper and rewriting them.

Afterwards, he continued to consult Vivian about gifts. Anduin was the type of ultimate straight man. When it came to social interactions, it was fine if the other party was male, but when it came to figuring out a girl's thoughts, he was completely clueless.
