A World for Two

For the next five days, Skylar and Phoebe were almost inseparable, staying together at the Flower Dew Cottage. The two were deeply in love, and naturally, they spent a lot of time together, indulging in sweet moments.

Skylar gave Phoebe the last bottle of Magic Blood Potion he had, enabling her magic power to break through to the Auror level in one fell swoop— Phoebe's magic power was originally only at the level of an adult wizard, and under normal circumstances, it would take at least three years of arduous training to achieve such a level.

For example, Nymphadora Tonks, despite graduating from Hogwarts four years ago, has only just reached the level of a junior Auror, which shows how amazing Phoebe's breakthrough is.

After her magic power was greatly enhanced, Phoebe's biggest weakness was her lack of practical combat experience.

After all, graduates who grow up in peacetime, no matter how outstanding their academic performance, often have extremely limited practical experience. Her performance in the Battle of Giant fully exposed this point.

To this end, Skylar personally guided her in combat techniques and imparted his insights into the <Abatair Mental Chapter> to her, enabling Phoebe to make rapid progress in her understanding and application of Mental Magic —she had mastered spells such as Hypnosis Charm, Memory Charm, and Memory Manipulation Charm with ease.

In addition, Skylar also gave Phoebe the Charm from the Heart he had obtained from the House of Yaxley. The contents of this spellbook were perfectly suited to the innate enchanting abilities of the Veela bloodline, so Skylar allowed her to study it on her own.

Phoebe quickly grasped the essence of it—she didn't need a wand or any spells; with just a glance, a smile, or a soft voice, she could subtly bewitch her target.

Besides learning magic, there are also plenty of intimate gestures between couples.

During the day, Phoebe did not hide her emotions. She would often suddenly wrap her arms around Skylar's waist from behind, bury her face in his shoulder, and whisper a few words of love in French, her uniquely Veela voice making one's heart flutter.

As the two studied enchantment magic together, Skylar guided her while gently lifting Phoebe's chin, making her look directly into his eyes. Her blue eyes shimmered like lake water, as if trying to draw Skylar's soul into them.

But things rarely go as planned; in every encounter, Phoebe was instead drawn in by the profound allure of Skylar's gaze.

Skylar had not learned any charm magic, but his mental strength was astonishing. With the added enhancement of his Magic Eyes and Serpent Eyes, even without chanting any spells, the power contained in his eyes was enough to overwhelm Phoebe's charm, making Phoebe breathless and blushing, until she finally collapsed limply into Skylar's arms.

As night fell, a warm fire burned in the fireplace of the Flower Dew Cottage. Phoebe leaned against Skylar, her bare feet dangling casually on his knees, flipping through the Skylar had provided, * Charm from the Heart *. Every now and then, she would look up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "I was wondering, if I learned all the techniques in this book, would you still be able to resist?" She gently hooked her fingertips around Skylar's lapel, her voice deliberately seductive, seemingly testing him, yet also tempting him.

Skylar simply smiled faintly, reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering close to her ear, "Then let's give it a try, Miss Delacour." His voice was deep and magnetic, causing Phoebe to tremble slightly, a blush rising to her cheeks.

Their relationship blossomed rapidly in just a few days, extending beyond physical intimacy to a deep spiritual connection. Only one final step remained before Phoebe became Skylar's woman.

It wasn't that Phoebe was unwilling; in fact, Phoebe had almost succeeded in pushing Skylar down more than once, but Skylar always firmly held onto his last line of defense, preventing Phoebe from succeeding.

Skylar's reason was that he was still a minor, a Diadem excuse that Phoebe couldn't refute. This might be one reason, but the real reason Skylar did it was because of Daphne — Daphne was the first girl Skylar had known, had always worked hard for Skylar, and was the wife Skylar had promised to be his wife. He couldn't betray her under any circumstances, so his first time could only be with Daphne.

Nothing major happened during my time at the Flower Dew Cottage.

This allows the two of them to fully immerse themselves in their own world, in this quiet little house that belongs to them, undisturbed by anything.

Dobby didn't bring any important news. Sarf was still immersed in her research on creating Giants and Werewolf; Savannah was constantly experimenting with different new battle formations and trying out different weapons and equipment for the Inferius. Of course Inferius, she also didn't forget to study the "Dark Blood Transformation" spell so that she could use it to modify her Inferius army.

At Knockturn Alley, the Wolf Fortress was completed. From a distance, it resembled a heavily fortified military stronghold, with its thick stone walls and towering towers showcasing its sturdiness and majesty. Ulfric led the Werewolf to officially move in and begin internal construction, strengthening various defensive fortifications to ensure the fortress could provide solid protection in any emergency.

Meanwhile, the construction of the Rose Pavilion is also progressing rapidly. According to reports from Night Cat, after the forces of Knockturn Alley were unified, the construction process is proceeding more smoothly than ever before, and it is expected to be completed by mid-September.

Although Skylar had been so busy lately that he hadn't been back to Ella Cottage, Night Cat and Thousand Charms (Nymphadora) still arrived at Ella Cottage on time every night. The day before Skylar left for France, he had already made arrangements for their training and handed over the training content to Sarf in advance.

Both Night Cat and Thousand Charms have been granted the secret magic of the House of Selwyn and House of Black by Skylar, so they are not lacking in offensive and defensive means.

Therefore, the training that Skylar arranged for them this time was not to improve their combat power, but to hone their perception and skills—so that they could exert more strength and become more at ease in real combat.

The training program for the Night Cat was named "Mind's Eye" by Skylar, which involves using a wizard's innate sense of magic to detect the flow of magic around the body in order to dodge attacks.

Sarf used a secret technique to completely shut down the Night Cat's five senses, rendering her unable to see, hear, or smell, plunging the world into silence and darkness. The only thing she could rely on was her perception of magic—a deeper level of intuition, an instinct born from her bloodline.

Then, with a gentle wave of her wand, Sarf conjured a large swarm of snakes. They crawled Silencio, each snake endowed with sharp fangs, leaving a burning mark on the skin if it bit.

Night Cat was initially defenseless. Losing her five senses made her feel as if she had fallen into an abyss; every movement was uncertain. Venomous fangs left deep marks on her arms, legs, and shoulders. The burning pain pierced her skin, blood seeped out, and sweat slid down her forehead. She could not rely on her eyes to observe the enemy's attack trajectory, nor could she rely on her ears to judge the direction of danger. The only thing she could do was trust her magical senses.

She gritted her teeth, trying to calm herself and sense the flow of magic in the air. The snakes were not physical entities, but illusions created by magic. Their movements left subtle ripples in the air, and the Night Cat gradually caught the invisible rhythm—their attack trajectories, speeds, and even the direction from which they were about to pounce.

At first, she only made slight evasive maneuvers, and she began to avoid some of the most obvious attacks. Gradually, her movements became light and fluid. She no longer dodged awkwardly, but moved through the snakes with ease. The swarm of snakes surged like a raging tide, while she seemed to become a shadow in the darkness, avoiding fatal bites with minimal movement. Every turn, crouch, and leap was perfectly timed.

As time went by, a dormant instinct within Night Cat seemed to be fully awakened. Her magical perception became increasingly acute; she could clearly "see" the traces of the snakes in the flow of magic, adjust her movements in advance before they launched an attack, and even at one moment, she felt her body become incredibly light, as if she had merged with the darkness.

Her agility truly lives up to her nickname "Night Cat".

Thousand Charms's training focused on improving her clumsy physical movements.

In a Chamber of Secrets specially designed for Thousand Charms, a finely woven red rope net stretches across the center of the space. The silk threads intertwine like a spider web, and each thread is hung with a small silver bell that makes a crisp sound when touched.

The training rules were extremely simple: Thousand Charms had to cross this net woven from silk threads without touching any of the red threads, otherwise the bell would ring, and the price for making a mistake would be a strong electric current released by the collar around Thousand Charms's neck—not enough to harm her body, but enough to cause her excruciating pain.

The floor of the Chamber of Secrets was covered with various traps and obstacles, as well as uneven potholes, which could easily cause someone to trip and fall if they were not careful.

In this narrow and intricate space, every step is a test. The body must be agile, moving through it like Ghost, precisely controlling the extension and contraction of every muscle. The rhythm of breathing is crucial; the slightest disorder can lead to incoordination and thus touching those dangerous threads.

In the early stages of training, the crisp clinking of bells often echoed in the Chamber of Secrets, followed by the crackling sound of electricity emanating from the silver collar. Thousand Charms's body convulsed violently from the sudden electric shocks, her muscles tensing in pain, her breathing becoming rapid and erratic. She gritted her teeth, trying her best to maintain her balance, but often, a single misstep would cause her to bump into another red wire, triggering a chain reaction, with the bells ringing in succession and the current surging like a tidal wave.

At her worst, she couldn't withstand the continuous electric shocks, her vision went black, and she collapsed completely unconscious. Whenever this happened, Latifa would rush forward and use healing magic to relieve her pain and wake her from her coma. Once she regained consciousness, Thousand Charms would grit her teeth, stand up again, and silently walk back to the Qidian to continue trying.

Failure after failure, electric shock after electric shock, starting over after starting over. The pain of training far exceeded her imagination, but she never considered giving up. She began to learn to control her body, adjust the rhythm of her steps, slow her breathing, sense the position of the surrounding threads, and even predict their trajectory as they swayed slightly in the breeze.

After countless failures and electric shocks, Thousand Charms's movements gradually became light and fluid, moving like a shadow through the red maze. She would no longer knock over objects due to unsteady steps, nor would she get trapped by ropes due to slow reactions.

Now, she can move silently through the narrowest gaps, controlling her body as naturally as waving a finger. Her former clumsiness has long been worn away by sweat and pain.

Since Skylar departed for France, in just eighteen days, although Night Cat and Thousand Charms have not learned any new magic, they have undergone a near-complete transformation.

Time passed just like that.

Then, on August 31st, a letter broke the monotony of their lives.
