[Football + Harry Potter] You Heal Me More Than Potions

Serafina spent three years developing an antidote to snake venom and saved her teacher, but to escape the gossip in the British wizarding world, she fled to Milan.

She had just started dating Kaka, a rising Muggle football star, when the Italian Ministry of Magic summoned her for questioning.

Kaka: My girlfriend is really smart. She runs an herbal shop in Milan and even makes delicious, healthy desserts for me.

Teammate: Really? What does she like to do in her spare time?

Kaka: Sometimes she goes out for a ride on her broomstick in the middle of the night to clear her head. Her desserts are the best in the world. Oh, by the way, have you seen Harry Potter? I think my girlfriend is a bit like one of the witches in it.

Teammate: ...Bro, are you so tired from training that you're hallucinating?

Kaka thought his girlfriend was simply an Eastern potion-making prodigy obsessed with the "magical world," but he began to notice more and more things in everyday life that science couldn't explain.

Serafina, too, thought she could heal herself with passionate love in this Muggle city. Then she discovered that the healing process always involved a lot of patching things up.

Until one day, someone from the Italian Ministry of Magic knocked on her door, while back in Britain, the gloomy and terrifying Headmaster Snape appeared in the two-way mirror.

Snape: "You spent three years developing an antidote to snake venom, yet in the three months you've been in Italy, you haven't sent me a single paper. What have you been doing? Eating gelato in Florence, watching the sunset in Rome, and watching Muggles play football in Milan?"

Forced to return to Hogwarts with her papers and a heavy heart, Serafina prepared herself for the storm.

But the sharp-tongued man merely sneered and asked her, "If the existence of the magical world is exposed, do you think he'll choose his God or you? But remember this: when the Ministry of Magic comes after you for exposing magic, don't expect your Muggle boyfriend to save you. Is he going to rescue you with his signed jersey?"

When she insisted on returning to Milan, he stared at her, his voice lowered until it sounded as if the words were being forced through clenched teeth. "Forget those damned restrictions. Use every card you have to protect yourself. Even if you have to come back using dark magic, don't expect me to bail you out of an Italian Ministry of Magic prison! Do you hear me, Serafina?"
