Three months later, Hogwarts.
"Whether we want it or not, life keeps urging us forward. People pack up, set out, travel, and settle down. Wherever they stop, a hearth fire soon burns.
From the migration of individuals to the exchange and transport of ingredients, from changes in cooking methods to the twists and turns of human destiny, the hurried steps of people and food have never stopped."
Klein put down his quill after writing the last word of his lesson plan. He glanced over the parchment and nodded in satisfaction.

"Knock, knock, knock."
He had just finished preparing his lessons when someone knocked on his office door.
With a thought from Klein, the Magic Lock on the door released itself, and a sleek, shiny head poked in.
It was Draco Malfoy.
"Heh, Professor Grindelwald, still busy?"
Although his status had changed beyond recognition, the young master's attitude toward Klein was just as it had always been.
Rubbing his hands together and avoiding Klein's gaze, he began rather sheepishly.
"Um, could you do me a favor?"
"If it has nothing to do with your studies, then don't bother asking."
Klein pinched the bridge of his nose, wearing a faintly amused smile.
"Let me guess, it wouldn't happen to be that Ravenclaw girl again—"
"Marlena! Marlena Phil!"
Draco supplied the girl's name, then settled comfortably onto the sofa in Klein's office.
"You're my best friend. This is the first time I've ever pursued a girl, so you can't refuse to help me!"

"I have been exploring magic! I explore it every day! But I'm sixteen now.
