Chapter 69: Lucky Luke
"Nia isn't old enough. Herb comforted softly, "Before you turn twelve, Hogwarts School will have the owl send you an admission letter to Nia, and you can go to the school of witchcraft and wizardry." ”
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Nia pouted dissatisfiedly, "I know I don't have a talent for magic, and Albert already knows." ”
"How so?" said Herb softly.
"How not. Nia talked about what happened during the summer vacation.
The Ministry of Magic wrote in Truman's letter the reason for the expulsion: In the Muggle community, the levitation charm was used in front of a Muggle.
"At that time, there were only three of us in the park, Truman was a wizard, Albert was also a wizard, and the Muggles in the letter were naturally referring to me. As soon as she finished speaking, Nia began to cry sadly.
Daisy sighed softly, she actually knew about it, and Albert had told her about it before he left for Hogwarts.
It's just that I didn't expect Nia to find out by herself.
Daisy took her daughter in her arms, gently stroked her back, and comforted her softly, "Okay, Nia, cry if you want!"
"Nia, you know, wizards have wizarding fun, but Muggles also have Muggle fun, like the wizarding world has no TV, no anime, no movies, no friends before going to school. Luke said calmly, "It's nice not to stay in the wizarding world, at least that's what Grandpa thinks." ”
"But ......," Nia said, choking a little, "but I want to go to Hogwarts." ”
Tom also seemed to sense that Nia was in a bad mood, so he jumped into Nia's arms and rubbed his head against her clothes.
"It's a bit of a shame not to be able to go to Hogwarts, but I don't regret being a Muggle, and the Muggle world is just as exciting. Luke stroked Nia's hair and said, "Okay, stop crying, eat a piece of chocolate, you're going to cry like a big cat." ”
"Nia, don't you want to see what Albert bought you a gift?" Herb picked up the animal voice candy, put it to his ear and shook it.
"Isn't Nya able to experience the pleasures of the wizarding world now?" Daisy comforted, "Would you like to give it a try, Albert mentioned in his letter that eating this candy can make other animal sounds." ”
"If Nia doesn't eat it, then I'll eat it. Herb opened the box, tossed the candy into his mouth, chewed it, and let out a lion's roar.
"Meow!"
Frightened, Tom jumped off Nia's top of her, got under the couch, and didn't come out.
After a moment of dead silence, all the people in the living room looked at Herb, who let out another lion's roar.
Herb hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and awkwardly raised his hand to point at the box of animal voice changing candy.
"I'm going to eat it too. The girl was immediately distracted by the animal voice change candy and reached out to Herb.
"Nia, Albert said, these things can't be taken out and let others know. Daisy did not forget to warn, "It seems that the wizarding world needs to keep it strictly secret, so that ordinary people do not know about the existence of the wizarding world. ”
"Got it!" Nia took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her cheeks, and ate an animal voice changing candy, her little face suddenly flushed, and hot air came out of her ears.
"Don't we know?" asked Herb, puzzled.
Daisy said, "Muggle wizards born to Muggle families are allowed to know about the wizarding world, but are required to keep it strictly secret. ”
"How do you know that Albert's letter is written?"
"It's not that, it's this. Daisy handed another folded letter to her husband, which was addressed to them and Nia.
Herb looked up at Luke and said, "Dad, you should look for it too, Albert should have written to you too." ”
"Faith is here. Sansa pulls out a piece of parchment from the bottom of the box, opens it, and looks at it before handing it to Luke.
"What is written in Albert's letter?" asked Nia.
"He told you to take good care of Tom, to eat the right amount of food every day, and not to let the cat eat too fat. Another thing is to make a few more friends when you go to school, and don't let people bully you. Herb and the letter, looking up at Luke's strange appearance, asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Luke sighed softly.
Sansa reads the letter, and at the end of the letter, mentions a man named Filch, who works as an administrator at Hogwarts, and is a Squib.
It was not difficult for Luke to tell from the letter that Mr. Filch was not happy at Hogwarts.
How can a person who likes to go against students all day long, who likes to trouble students, and who is often angry with naughty students, can be happy?
From Filch to his own cat, to using a mop to clean up stains, to living in a group of mischievous little wizards all day long, watching others use magic but not himself.
Luke couldn't think of a reason why Filch could be happy.
For a wizarding school like Hogwarts, Filch is a dispensable person, and any wizard who understands magic must be able to do better than him.
Luke didn't sympathize with Filch, because it was the other party's choice, and Filch was undoubtedly lucky, because the Headmaster of Hogwarts took him in, otherwise the Squib, who was ignored by the wizarding world, would hardly be able to find any work.
No wizard would hire a useless person.
To this day, Luke still thinks that since he is a Squib, there is nothing wrong with living in the Muggle world obediently, learning some Muggle skills, and being a qualified Muggle.
Why stay in the wizarding world and be a squib that everyone hates?
Although Luke knew that those people might be right, he never forgave them and completely severed himself from them.
Compared to Filch, Luke considers himself more fortunate to have a family of his own, a daughter-in-law of his own, and two lovely grandchildren.
Life is happy and fulfilling.
Looking at the six people and a cat in the photo, a faint smile appeared on Luke's face.
"Grandpa Luke, what are you laughing at?" asked Nia, curious.
"Grandpa thinks he's lucky?" said Luke, folding the letter and smiling, "Come, I'll blow bubbles for you." ”
In the box, Albert also put a box of Blowing Treasure Super Bubble Gum for the old man.
"Albert didn't even prepare it for me. ”
"It's actually for Nia. Luke smiled, and he understood why Albert had sent him Super Bubble Gum.
Luke handed the Super Bubble Gum to Nia, and took one for himself, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then blew out a string of bluebell-colored bubbles from his mouth like a bubble. Bubbles float in the hall and won't burst even if they touch an object.
Nia also learned to blow bubbles, and with a smile on her face, she seemed to have forgotten that she had just been sad that she couldn't go to Hogwarts.
