Chapter 2
The Anderson Family's Past
No
one moved, and everyone froze in place for at least half an hour... well, only
about ten seconds in reality.
Albert bent down and picked up the
pale yellow envelope, an unstamped letter with a line written in emerald green
ink, and he read it softly:
Tiber Avenue, 19, entrance, Mr.
Albert Anderson.
When Albert read this text, he found
that he actually triggered a task:
Wizard's Path.
You
have the potential to become a wizard, but you aren’t yet qualified, and now
you have a valuable opportunity to become a student at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Rewards
10,000 experience, 2 skill points, +1 wizard bloodline.
Wizard bloodline?
Albert was stunned.
What the hell is this.
2
skill points are very tempting, you must know that being a student of Eton
College only give 1 point, and Albert only got 3 skill points after saving so
many years, and he was very reluctant to use it.
However,
what is even more pitiful is that this is still the world of a book.
The
wizarding world in the Harry Potter books?
Albert
turned the envelope over and saw the Hogwarts coat of arms, with a the letter
"H", surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake.
"Mom, do zoos now train owls to
be postmen?" Nia stared curiously at the owl that was staying nearby.
"Nia, I don't think anyone will
use owls to send letters. At least normal people don't. Maybe,
it's just a prank." Daisy looked at her husband, saw Herb frowning
tightly, and asked, "What is it? Now, darling, is it time for us to go out?"
"It's nothing, Albert, show me
the letter." Herb whispered.
"Oh, here." Albert gave the
envelope to his father.
"Honey!" Daisy was a little
upset.
Herb didn't pay attention to the
displeasure on his wife's face, quickly opened the envelope, took out the parchment
inside and glanced at it, and said, "Children, it seems that our plan is
going to be postponed."
"Dear Herb, what happened, what
is the content of the letter?" Daisy felt that her husband was a little
abnormal, and her tone couldn't help increasing.
"Dad, what's in the
letter?" Nia couldn't help but ask, but Albert, who received the letter,
didn't respond much.
"Let's go back to the living
room, Daisy." Herb closed the car door heavily and returned to the living
room with his family.
After the door of the entrance was
closed, the owl that delivered the letter still did not leave.
"Dear Herb, you'd better give me
a proper explanation." Daisy looked angry, and she couldn't wait to see
her son in Eton's uniform.
"Dad,
what is in the letter, read it out to everyone, I also want to know."
Albert's face did not have much emotional fluctuations, of course he knew this letter
If you haven't experienced the time-travel and the golden finger, he might be
shocked when he saw that letter.
But
the first two times he was shocked and found himself living in a world of books.
Thinking about it, it
doesn't seem too strange. What's more, he has read the
best-selling books of Harry Potter, and he has also written a fanfiction.
At
that time, i checked a lot of information, I still had some understanding of
the worldview of this novel.
"Then I'll read it." Herb
glanced at his calm son, and read out the content on the parchment:
Headmaster
of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry :
Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf.
Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
"Hogwarts...school!"
Daisy's eyes widened in
astonishment, because she had already guessed what it was...an admission
letter?
"Wizards,
is there really magic in this world? Nia's face was filled with
undisguised excitement, "I also want to learn magic, and go to a wizard
school." "
"I hate Albert, let me go!"
Nia looked at her brother with dissatisfaction. She was about to lean over to
read the letter, but was stopped by Albert.
"Nia,
let Dad finish the letter." Albert motioned for his father to continue
reading the letter, and pulled his angry mother to sit down by the way.
"Son,
I will never let you go to Hogg..." Daisy was very angry, she thought her
husband might know something.
Herb
coughed lightly and
continued to read:
Dear Mr. Anderson:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been
accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find
enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by
no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Herb
finished his reading, and then handed the letter to his son.
Albert glanced at it and handed it to
his curious sister, while Nia took the letter and ran to her mother Daisy.
After Daisy studied the content of
the letter sentence by sentence, she said word by word:
"I would never agree to let
Albert go to this kind of school. No, someone must be playing tricks on us.
Maybe, we should call the police immediately and catch that pesky
troublemaker."
"Mom, does the owl waiting for
you on the letter ask us to write back to them?" Nia said suddenly.
Daisy didn't speak, but stared at her
husband with oppressive eyes.
Albert asked, "Dad, do you know
anything?"
"It
doesn't count as knowing." Herb put his hand to his head and seemed to be
caught in a short-lived memory: "When I was about the same age as you, my
father, your grandfather, told me that I failed to receive a letter from Hogwarts'
letter and stayed disappointing."
"I
asked my father what Hogwarts was and he said it was a school."
"Later, when my father got
drunk, I asked why he wanted me to go to Hogwarts."
"He only said he was a Squib,
but I don't know what that word means." Herb's tone was very low, and he
remembered that time when his father cried.
"I think now I know where
Hogwarts is. Father would be delighted to know that his grandson received a letter
from Hogwarts."
Of course Albert knew what Squib
meant, but he didn't really think he had anything to do with wizards.
In other words, there is no similar
skill in his skill column, otherwise he would have noticed it long ago.
"Yes, I should write to him, no,
call, he will definitely be very happy!" Herb suddenly said, as if
planning to call his father.
"Herb Anderson!" shouted
Daisy, "Albert should go to Eton, he'll do what we can't imagine, and not
go to a school we've never heard of, you know? As for his future, I absolutely
won't allow you..."
"Mom, we haven't determined
whether magic exists or not." Albert reached out and grabbed his mother
who was about to go berserk, and comforted softly: "Didn't the letter say
that the owl is waiting for you? Maybe, we should write and send a
letter and let Then the Hogwarts school come to prove whether there is magic or
not, and if it can't be proved, it means it's a lie."
"Okay, son, I agree with you,
and let the damn school prove the truth of this letter." Daisy clenched
her fists and waved it hard, "Wait and see, I must call the police. Catch
those crooks and put them in jail for a few years."
