In the suburbs of New York, USA, at Knox's home.

Yellow and white lights intertwine, and thanks to Jessica's careful care, the room is filled with a variety of beautiful little trees with showy flowers, which looks alive. On the green marble coffee table in front of the couch were several magazines, and a copy of "Break with the Death Eaters" had been flipped to the middle, now upside down on the couch.

Jessica, Ian, and Leonard's family sat at a long table at the other end of the hall, enjoying a simple dinner of salad, fried chicken, and baked macaroni and small pies... On the TV directly across from their table, news about Hogwarts was being broadcast.

Alan Harris has just accepted the allegiance of the centaurs on television and is giving his final speech.

"Those who say, 'One generation is not as good as the next,' should look at you as I am, and I look at you with envy, the wealth that wizards have amassed for thousands of years, and all the knowledge, insight, wisdom, and art like gifts for you. Magic is thriving, culture is flourishing, cities are thriving, and the fruits of wizarding civilization are opened layer by layer, and you can enjoy the freedom to learn a spell and a skill......

If you still need my blessings, then we are in the same rushing river."

"I used to proudly say in front of Eren that Ilvermorny is the best magic school in the world..."Jessica swallowed a mouthful of salad and chewed the vegetables, and said with some yearning, "The magic school floating in the air, accompanied by the wind and clouds, sounds romantic... It must have been an amazing feeling... Uncle, is there really no limit to admissions to Hogwarts as advertised?"

"Kajessica, do you want to go to Hogwarts University too?" Leonard wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "Now Hogwarts University has only started recruiting students, so although it has already passed the start time, there are indeed no restrictions, but the teaching method is said to be more like the apprenticeship system in the ancient wizarding world, except for the open class by one tutor to lead a few students." ”

"Jessica, I don't approve of you going, now is not a good time to study in England. Ian raised an eyebrow, his voice low but strong - his parents' pet curling winged demon landed on a chair next to him and sucked on a raw cow brain, resembling a bat, brightly colored and covered in thorns.

"Why?" Jessica put down her fork unhappily, "Quite a few of my friends have written in the afternoon saying that they have been living in Floating City for a few months. ”

"It's a small matter that Hogwarts has become a floating city now, but they have energy cores, and there are a lot of national forces staring at them now...", Ian, who has stubborn short blond hair, said seriously, "Many officials in the Magical Congress are also arguing about this matter, and the Director of the Serious Investigation Division and the Director of the Magical Law Enforcement Division of the Congress are arguing with the President and the Chief of the General Staff. ”

"Ian, you can't bear Jessica, right? My brother can't live without my sister, so I don't want her to go so far away in England. Because once she's gone, you won't see her for a long time. Leonard laughed heartily and teased Ian.

"Uncle Leonard! Jessica wants to go to England to study, and that's a serious matter. Ian emphasized, with a kind of embarrassment on his face that he had been poked at the center.

"Ahaha, are you reluctant to let me go, afraid that no one will cook for you?" Jessica joined the teasing with bright eyes and a brisk tone, "If I go to Hogwarts, would you like to help you find out the details of your number one competitor in the duel tournament, Allen? For example, maybe you find that he is afraid of cockroaches and rats or something, and you can scare him during the duel... Actually, I think you should quit your job and go with me, and we can still be classmates. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ian shouted in embarrassment, "Uncle, you know the situation!"

"Okay, Jessica, it's not the best time to go to Hogwarts. Leonard's expression was a little more serious, "Actually, I don't approve of you going to Hogwarts to study now... Hogwarts' recent performance has been too eye-catching, the threat and fear that this thing has brought to the other wizarding world is too great, and it has just happened, so you'd better not take risks..."Leonard's tone became more and more serious, "Our attitude towards Britain has always been relatively resistant in our country, and Allen's previous overbearing has already brought many radicals a reason to disgust, and he has shattered their idea that the United States is already stronger than the British wizarding community... And after today, I think that the centrists who had nothing to do with themselves in the past have been forced to take sides. ”

"Yes uncle! Jessica... Don't you think that Ilvermorny is better than Hogwarts? There are a lot of wizards with radical ideas, and now it's best not to provoke them in this situation, maybe you will be disgusted by you going to study abroad..."Ian said solemnly, "I'm not afraid that this will cause me and my uncle any trouble, now that Hogwarts has just been raised, these situations are not clear... But Hogwarts is further threatening other countries by doing so, and if they lose, will you be implicated when you come back..."

Jessica was a little annoyed: "The wizarding world in the United States is the freest! ”

"There will definitely be no shortage of snooping cores, Hogwarts itself is positioned as a wizarding city rather than a school of witchcraft and wizardry, so the flow of population will be very only and large... In other words, Hogwarts is no safer than it used to be. Leonard shifted, "But if you just stay in school and don't go around that temple, it shouldn't be a problem, Ian, you should stay away from those radicals... The thing about this dueling tournament... On the other hand, you think that you have the opportunity to play against opponents of the caliber of Dumbledore and the Mysteries, and that experience alone is honorable enough. ”

"I can't do it anymore," Ian sullenly slipped the steak on his plate, "I've received letters from some of the contestants just when I go to work, and many of them want to quit this year's dueling tournament... As you know, I've been in personal contact with some of the contestants, and since the last time Eren and the Mystery Man won the public showdown, there have been a lot of contestants who want to quit this dueling tournament. What happened at Hogwarts today will probably be fatal to them... Even if this duel match can be held, it is estimated that the contestants will be the least in the past. ”

Ian couldn't eat, so he simply put his fork aside and stopped continuing to eat dinner.

"Ian, it doesn't matter how many opponents you play against, do what you want to do the most... Since you lost the last duel with Allen, the last thing you want to do is fight Allen again, it's the process that counts, not the result, and it's good for you... So give me a good meal. Jessica commanded the fork to fly back into Ian's hand, "I still decided to go to Hogwarts with my friends to see if I could get in, and now I am not as good as others, there is nothing to admit." ”

The cool-looking boy listened to his sister very much, and continued to pick up the macaroni and put it in his mouth and chewed: "Jessica, if you are going to go later, go and prepare, I don't want to wait for you to dress up for more than an hour..."

"That's when I didn't know what boots to wear that day!" Jessica retorted, but got up and headed for her room.

"Ian, you're going to that place again?" Leonard frowned, "that's where a bunch of goblins are making a fuss, and a bunch of wizards who don't get paid much a week are still discussing state affairs... Jessica is interested in these things?"

Ian put down his fork and untied the collar, "Rigidity Fuji Graves invited me to the Blind Pig Bar for a drink today, and he'll be on stage tonight." ”

The wrinkles on Leonard's forehead stacked: "Ian, we're not radicals, I told you, don't hang out with that group of people... And the Blind Pig Bar was all a meeting place a few decades ago, and I don't think it's much better now. ”

"Although his words and practices seem too radical, he is still receptive to other people's opinions, and you have always respected your uncle...", Ian said to Leonard, "Jessica is not interested in these things, she likes the cackling spirits there, I just go to listen, I have been telling them some of your ideas and concerns, and I think it can also influence them to be more appropriate and not to act more aggressively." ”

"I'll go with you. Leonard stood up and thrust his wand into his waist to get his coat, "Don't let you be fooled by the man's aggressive remarks. ”

"Uncle Leonard, don't be so excited that you come on stage to participate in the speech..." Ian's tone was a little unhappy, it seemed that he didn't want to go to the bar with his elders, and he was unwilling to add when he couldn't refuse, "Then you pay the bill then." ”
