The early morning sun has risen, spreading her light and warmth to the earth and the whole community. The shade outside the window swayed gently with the breeze, sprinkling soft golden spots on the window glass.

But now no one knows how many times such a beautiful sunrise can be seen.

Everyone in the living room has dispersed one after another. When a new day comes, everyone has something to do. Compared with the helpless disaster, teaching students to study is their own job. Even if they lose their school for a while, what they should do still needs to be done.

Only Mileva and the two Muggle women she brought have not left yet.

The three sat at the small round table in front of the window. Bounded by the window, two Muggles sat at one end and Mileva sat at the other end.

The atmosphere on the small round table seemed a little cold.

Behind the temporary bar not far away, aberforth was still rubbing his goblet as boring as usual. Only occasionally he glanced at the three people, as if he had been used to all kinds of trifles in the world and had not much interest in snooping.

However, Mileva, who has always been very decisive, obviously rarely has such indecision, which makes people curious.

I don't know how long it took. I only know that the black tea poured again on the small round table has cooled down again. Mileva finally opened her mouth first.

"Mrs. McGregor..."

Only Mileva just spoke, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man of the two Muggle women opposite suddenly spoke. Although the other party still seems a little shy, and there is a kind of common peasant women's shivering in the face of noble women in the past, the meaning in that remark is surprisingly tough.

"Miss McGonagall, let's... Talk alone first!"

The old woman, whom Professor McGonagall called "Mrs. McGregor", didn't seem very firm, but her tone of voice was soft and timid, but it seemed like there was no doubt.

"Mummy?"

Beside her, her daughter, who always had a touch of sadness on her face, seemed to call her mother subconsciously. But after seeing the expression on her mother's face, she didn't say anything more. She just stood up and saluted Mileva opposite, left the small round table, walked to the door step by step, and then left here temporarily.

……

Caitlin is just the daughter of a very ordinary Scottish farmer. She grew up walking through the ridges and wooden fences. There is a capable and reliable father, an introverted but kind mother, and a handsome fool who has loved himself since childhood in the neighbor's family.

Later, although it was somewhat unfortunate, because my father died a little early and didn't even catch up with his wedding, it was more than ten years ago.

Seven years ago, he was finally fooled by the silly boy from his neighbor's house, became a family and gave birth to a child. Watching the children grow up day by day, washing clothes and cooking, and helping their husband take care of the milk cows, life is plain but also happy.

Then, the beautiful girl who used to be famous in the local countryside also saw the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes in the mirror with the overlap of the calendar.

This is also a matter of no choice. Isn't life like this? While there were some regrets, Caitlin still had a smile on her face, because her son was very healthy and sensible - as an ordinary peasant woman, this was probably enough.

Only occasionally... Really only occasionally, when I pass by the small old church when I go for a walk with my mother in the nearby countryside, I will see my mother stop a little and look at the window on the second floor of the church.

In Caitlin's impression, her mother has always been an ordinary peasant woman like herself, simple and hardworking day by day, aging a little fast. I only care about three meals a day and the nursery behind the house, as well as my daughter's life, children and family. I nag at home, but I seem a little cramped and introverted when I go out.

However, when her mother stood outside the old church and stopped to stare, Caitlin vaguely saw a rare look on her.

Caitlin felt that her mother should have some past events that her daughter didn't know, but even if she asked later, her mother never said them in detail.

Until one day, when Caitlin came back from delivering rice on the ridge as usual, she saw her elderly mother standing at the gate of the yard with an old suitcase of her late father, bent back and an inexplicable firmness.

When Caitlin looked puzzled, her mother said to her without hesitation:

"Call Liam and pick up the children from school. We're leaving here."

"What?" Caitlin went forward and hurriedly took the suitcase in her mother's hand. "Mom, what's the matter? Leave here? Do you want to travel?"

For a time, Caitlin almost thought that her mother was a sign of Alzheimer's disease and hurriedly tried to appease her mother. However, the subsequent changes made her understand that it was her who didn't understand the situation.

Since the evening of that day, there have been more news about the accident on TV, and soon, the accident has become a disaster. After that, this kind of news suddenly disappeared and was replaced by more entertainment and talk shows.

In the end, the previously unknown mysterious world full of magic and wizards was revealed by every detail of life.

Until the government officially announced the existence of the magic world, to be honest, the whole process took only a few weeks.

Caitlin and her family left their hometown together after all - not because of her mother's will, but because of the coordination of military and police forces all over the country, and began a panic migration.

Perhaps from the first day when her mother's abnormality was confirmed, Caitlin began to realize that the secret in her mother's heart that she never talked to others may be related to the magic world that is gradually showing in front of everyone. But after that, Caitlin never mentioned it again, but silently put it deep in her heart.

Because so far, the gradually revealed magic world is accompanied by the smell of disaster, which makes Caitlin never sure whether her mother's secret is a good thing or a bad thing.

Until... Finally, the disaster hit their small family head, and then the sky of her ordinary peasant woman was covered with dark clouds.

Husband Liam died to protect the children; The child is still unconscious and needs magic to heal.

"Why didn't I die?" Caitlin thought, standing in front of aberforth's temporary bar.
