Chapter 2 Visits
The living room was quiet, and the Coopers sat on the couch without anyone speaking.
Nick and Louise looked at the letter in their hands repeatedly, as if trying to determine if someone was playing a prank.
For a long time, the two of them couldn't see anything, and after making eye contact, Nick broke the peace.
"So, this so-called Hogwarts chicken—"
"It's Hogwarts. Louise whispered, as if the three of them were in the library.
"Well, Hogwarts," Nick coughed, "does this Hogwarts really exist? I mean- uh- you know, that so-called magic. ”
The two looked at Carl cautiously, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
Karl didn't answer, he looked out the window.
When he discovered that he had the ability, he knew that the world he had traveled into was not the one he had lived in in his previous life.
His first reaction was the Marvel world, and in the Marvel world, if a person has not been bitten by a spider, or has been exposed to radiation, or has been injected with some kind of serum to have an ability, then he is most likely a mutant.
For this reason, he also deliberately checked the relevant materials and history of this world, but he did not find historical celebrities such as Captain America, Howard Stark, etc.
He had also considered the possibility of DC's world, but he had never heard of any supercriminals in the world in a few years.
He had thought about many worlds, but the worlds with supernatural powers were so vast that he couldn't be sure which one they were.
Maybe it was dark under the lights, but he never thought that this world could be the world of Harry Potter.
To be honest, his favorite thing is the Marvel world.
Because of this, over the years, he has been exercising his abilities as if they were mutants.
Until now, this acceptance letter from Hogwarts has disrupted his overall plans.
Here, seeing that Carl didn't react for a long time, Nick and Louise thought that Carl couldn't accept the facts, or that there was something unspeakable.
Strangely, the two did not think about the possibility that the letter was fake.
Nick spoke, "You know Carl, your mom and I love you so much, and we don't want you to be wronged in any way. We both know you've been different since you were a kid, you're so good, and if you have anything to say to me and Louise, we're all-"
Nick couldn't go on with the rest of the story, because he saw the most amazing scene of his life.
The chairs and benches, cups, saucers, photo albums in the living room, everything floated up.
"It's—" Nick and Lois looked at everything around them with their mouths wide open.
"Magic, yes. ”
Carl nodded.
Just now, he made up his mind.
his Marvel, his mutants, the wizarding world, I'm coming!
Oh, it smells so good!
......
"One more time, Carl, one more time!"
Nick excitedly commanded Carl to repeat the previous operation countless times.
After accepting all of this, the Coopers looked even more excited than Carl himself.
Seeing things flying around in the living room, the husband and wife were so excited that they seemed to be screaming at any moment.
After the eighteenth time he messed around with his belongings, Carl couldn't help but yawn.
Magic didn't require much consumption, but it did require a high level of concentration, and after a lot of ups and downs like today's, he was a little tired, after all, his body was not yet eleven years old.
"Alright Nick, Carl is tired, it's time for a nap. Louise finally suppressed her excitement and said to her husband.
Naping, a habit he kept in his previous life, continues to this life. After so many years, even Nick and Louise have been taken crooked by Carl, and on non-working days, they have to take a nap at noon every day.
But today, the three of them seem destined to be unable to sleep.
"Bang!bang!" Two knocks sounded on the door, and Nick and Louise looked at each other, the former standing up and walking to the foyer to open the door, and Carl leaned in.
Albus Dumbledore.
Karl recognized it at a glance, after all, the waist-length white beard and half-moon-shaped glasses were so easy to recognize.
Carl knew he would come into contact with the greatest Headmaster in Hogwarts history sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so early.
Even the savior, Harry Potter, was not personally guided by Dumbledore, and he was treated like this.
Of course, it is possible that only Harry Potter was not greeted by Dumbledore himself, after all, it was never written in the original book how other people entered the wizarding world, Carl thought maliciously.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" asked Nick.
To be honest, Nick had never seen such an outfit, and what normal person would run around in a purple robe, but he still asked politely, for the sake of the other party's age.
"I'm looking for Carl Cooper. Dumbledore nodded politely at Nick. With that, he moved his gaze to Carl, who had already come behind Nick.
Nick was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to react all at once, and his whole body became excited, and his face was swollen and red.
"You, you are!" he was very excited, but he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of being heard by the neighbors around him, so he had to turn sideways and let Dumbledore in first.
The group sat down on the couch in the living room, Dumbledore happened to sit directly across from Carl, and Nick and Louise kept making eye contact, and the two of them looked excited and nervous.
"Would you like something to drink, tea, or something?" said Louise, standing up suddenly.
"Tea will do, thank you. Dumbledore smiled and nodded at Louis, returning his gaze to Carl.
"Hello, Carl. He whispered, then reached out.
"I'm Albus Dumbledore, and you can call me Professor Dumbledore. ”
"Hello, Professor Dumbledore. Carl reached out and shook it, Dumbledore's hand was dry and warm, and strong.
"Professor Dumbledore?" Louise had already come over with the brewed tea, she was making it so fast that she could tell she didn't want to miss anything.
"You're the one who said in the letter—"
"Yes ma'am, I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
Dumbledore took the brewed tea and took a sip.
"Nice tea, ma'am. Dumbledore said with a smile, winking at Karl cryptically.
Carl involuntarily curled the corners of his mouth, of course he knew what it meant, and he and Nick both knew how bad Louise's tea was.
"I'm sorry to come here dressed like this, because I'm too busy to change my clothes, but I think you should know that wizards wear it like this, and you'll have to get used to it sooner or later—if you agree to Karl going to Hogwarts, of course. Dumbledore said with a smile.
Carl's breath choked involuntarily, and he vaguely realized that Dumbledore had said this on purpose, just to see how he reacted.
Although he knew that it was almost impossible, by this time, he was really afraid that Nick and Louise would say a word.
And at this moment, perhaps because of the impact of Dumbledore's last sentence, after the initial excitement, Nick and Louise finally calmed down and began to think carefully about the whole thing from the perspective of a parent.
"No offense, but I would like to ask if every new student at your school is greeted by the principal himself?" Nick asked.
"Of course not," Dumbledore shook his head, "Normally, new students in wizarding families will be led to Diagon Alley by their parents, while Muggles, i.e., new students from ordinary people, will be handed over to the Hogwarts staff. But today I happened to go to London to do something, and I happened to stop by. ”
An unassailable explanation, but intuition tells Carl that this is not true.
Nick nodded, accepting Dumbledore's explanation, and he muttered a few words to Louise before finally looking up and asking, "Can you tell us exactly what Hogwarts teaches?"
As soon as he said this, Carl stopped listening attentively, and he knew almost everything that followed.
Besides, since the specific details have been discussed, it means that his trip to Hogwarts is basically done.
Hogwarts......
(Favorite friends collect it, thank you)
