In the Alchemy Room, the Scamander family hadn't left yet, nor had Pabi.
At the moment Vivi appeared, Pabi instantly turned her head away and buried it in the sofa, her tail wagging incessantly.
"You can't see me, you can't see me..." she mumbled softly.
Vivi, knowing about Pabi turning into a Unicorn, approached her and gently stroked her back.
"Pabi?" she asked softly.
"Here!" Pabi pulled out her head, standing rigidly straight.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your family?" she said with a smile.
"Oh." Pabi glanced behind Vivi and saw Harry, mustering the courage to greet him: "Ah, Harry—"
After greeting him, she furtively glanced at Vivi, and seeing she wasn't giving a dangerous smile, felt at ease.
"Ah, let me introduce you all." Happily, Pabi bit Vivi's sleeve, pulling her over to Theseus: "This is my oldest nephew, Theseus Scamander."
"Hello, Mr. Scamander." Vivi gave a ladylike bow, "I'm Vilatia Grindelwald."
Upon hearing Vivi's last name, Theseus's pupils contracted intensely.
Beside him, Tina took a step back, and Newt's arm twitched.
But Theseus was seasoned with the storm, and he quickly returned the greeting: "Hello, Miss Grindelwald."
If he guessed correctly, the person in front of him was Gellert Grindelwald's sister... But honestly, this Miss Grindelwald seemed far more graceful and polite than her brother.
After introducing Newt and Tina, Pabi joyfully said: "Harry, Harry, Newt has agreed to your request. He will speak with Dumbledore at the start of the next term about hiring Hagrid as an assistant teacher."
"That's great." Harry said, nodding with a smile, "I'll write to Hagrid later; this is my Christmas gift for him."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Leme suddenly let out a long sigh.
"My sofa..."
He was referring to the transparent hole Pabi poked with her head.
Newt quickly tidied up after his aunt, pointing at the sofa: "Reparo!"
Only then did Mr. Leme nod contentedly, taking small steps towards Harry and extending a hand.
"So, did you bring it? The computer I wanted?"
"I brought it." Harry fished out his wallet, suddenly remembering Alfonso.
After taking out the computer, while Mr. Leme was absorbed in gazing at them with glowing eyes, he walked over to Newt.
Newt seemed a bit uncomfortable, scooting a bit to the side, but was caught by Harry's words.
"Mr. Scamander, I have a Snake Monster—a living one."
"Where?!" Newt's eyes lit up, forgetting his social anxiety as he quickly moved close to Harry: "Mr. Potter, forgive my boldness, but I've only ever heard of Snake Monsters in legends, never..."
"Newt?" Tina suddenly said.
"Huh?" Newt, interrupted in his spell-casting, looked up.
"You're talking a bit much." Tina twirled her finger.
Only then did Newt realize his misstep, shyly smiling at Harry.
"It's okay, I understand your excitement, Mr. Scamander." Harry said with a smile, "But there's another important matter I need Mr. Leme's help with."
"What is it?" everyone asked simultaneously, including Pabi, who was still having her head stroked by Vivi.
Except for Mr. Leme, who was still tinkering with the computer.
"Mr. Leme?" Harry inquired.
"Oh, I'm listening." Mr. Leme replied without turning his head, muttering to himself over where certain components should be placed...
Vivi continued to rub Pabi's head, and the latter displayed a blissful expression.
She casually said, "I lost my magic power, Mr. Leme."
"Lost your magic power?" Mr. Leme finally raised his head.
He set down the electronic component he was holding, turned, and scurried to another room, shortly returning with a crystal ball.
"Hold this." He offered the crystal ball to Vivi.
Vivi took the crystal ball with both hands, looking at it for quite a while without seeing any reaction from it.
Mr. Leme wiggled his fingers, magically returning the crystal ball to its place, then extended a finger to touch Vivi's forehead.
After a while, he murmured with a frown: "Strange, whether it's the soul or the body, they're both in a sixteen-year-old state, logically speaking, you should not have lost magic power... But, I do have another method."
Saying this, he gestured for Harry to come over.
"Harry, come here."
"Eh?" Harry blankly raised his head and walked over to Mr. Leme.
Mr. Leme patted Harry on the shoulder and told Vivi: "But don't worry, you should be aware that my Magic Stone was fully absorbed by this very Harry Potter."
Vivi asked in confusion: "Mr. Leme, what does this have to do with Harry absorbing the Magic Stone?"
"Oh... it's very related." Mr. Leme flashed a grin: "You see, Mr. Potter absorbing the Magic Stone means he is now a walking Magic Stone... One of the effects of the Magic Stone is to help wizards quickly restore their magic power."
"So, how does he help with the restoration?" Harry raised his head to ask.
"Ah, this, it's simple."
Mr. Leme tapped Harry's body a few times.
Pabi and the Scamander family suddenly had a bad feeling, sensing that the old alchemist might be up to no good.
"Alright, all done." Mr. Leme looked at Harry as if admiring his masterpiece, then turned to Vivi: "From now on... as long as you have physical contact with Harry, you can replenish your magic power... However, I should remind you, the larger the contact area, the faster the magic power restoration..."
