After breakfast, William followed his father to the study.

The morning sun shines through the clouds, through the windows, slanting through the study, and finally rests on the Friedrich family coat of arms.

The skull of a human pressed against an open book. The book is flanked by long ribbons with the Friedrich family motto written in German.

"The Pursuit of Knowledge"

"Reverence for Strength"

The study was not large, with a suit of armor on each side of the door, and directly opposite the door was a teak desk, behind which was a teak bookshelf engraved with a traceless stretching spell.

Judging from the densely arranged books on it, the wizard who carved this spell should have a very high level of magic.

William noticed that on his father's desk, in addition to the newspapers and documents he received daily, there were several envelopes with different emblems.

One of the envelopes, stamped with a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake forming a large letter "H" coat of arms, caught William's eye.

"Yes, that's the Hogwarts admission letter you think about day and night. To be precise, an invitation to enroll. The Duke walked around the desk, reached the chair behind him, looked at his son, and said.

"Do you know how many other schools I have received offer letters? Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and three wizarding schools in Europe all sent invitations. ”

In addition, Ilvermorny in the United States, Kunlun Mountain in China, and Uganda in Africa, almost all famous magic schools have sent invitations to study abroad. Do you just know what this is for? My son. The duke asked, looking at his son.

"They're fighting for your son, father." William looked at his father.

"No matter which school I choose to go to, this school will gain unimaginable fame, right?" William said to the duke.

"Yes, William, think about the impact of the youngest Spell Inventor of the century enrolled in this school.

In addition to that, don't forget about your family, which has a lot more influence than you think.

There are too many people who want to deal with their families but have no way out, and your enrollment is a stepping stone for them. ”

The Duke looked at his son and decided to tell him something that William didn't know.

"You know, William, most of the outside world doesn't think that you did that new spell alone."

"They prefer to believe that it was actually invented by your father and me, and it was used to build momentum for you, you know?

But these remarks have kept me down, and no one can criticize the heirs of the Friedrich family.

But my son, I can suppress the superficial rhetoric, and I can't stop the criticism in the heart. ”

"If you decide to go to Durmstrang, you'll face a lot less trouble and no council because of your family status. So you still insist on going to Hogwarts? ”

William looked at his father, "Yes, my father, I insist, people are always reluctant to believe in the appearance of too good people, don't they?" ”

"Because it would highlight their incompetence, no matter what school they are in, their sons will prove it all with their own strength, and the Friedrich family has never been afraid of challenges."

Duke Friedrich looked at his son with pride. "Well, self-assertion is in the DNA of the Friedrich family.

Although outsiders don't understand us and think that we are mostly stubborn and crazy. But only we know that assertion in the pursuit of magic will take us far.

But one thing to remember, magic is wonderful, but it also contains dangers. Do you know why the ancestors of the Friedrich family used a human skull as their family coat of arms? ”

"Because the human skull symbolizes purity, right?"

"Yes, a complete skull represents the purity of a human being, meaning that the person has never lost himself in the study of magic, and has never succumbed to the forces of darkness.

In ancient times, mad warlocks used magic without hesitation, and did whatever it took to become stronger. Eventually transforming himself into an ugly creature, like the Sphinx.

The original Sphinx was actually transformed by a powerful and crazy ancient Egyptian sorcerer.

This was contrary to the original intention of the ancestors to learn magic, so the ancestors of the Friedrich family chose to use the combination of skulls and books as the family emblem to warn the clan. ”

Although outsiders think that the use of the skull as a badge is ominous, sinful, and a symbol of black magic. That's why our family is called the Black Arts Family.

But only we know that this badge represents that we gain power from knowledge, we use the power we have gained, but we also revere this power.

Although we love magic, we will insist on ourselves in the face of forbidden knowledge and the dark side of the world, and we will not become slaves to power.

William, I know you love magic, but you need to understand that love and madness are two different things, and don't let this power interfere with your heart. ”

"I see, father. I've read those books and understand what a disgusting thing can be when you're swayed by power. ”

William looked at his father and said in a serious tone, "I promise, I will not become a slave to power." ”

"If only you understood, William. But what I need is not only reassurance, but also moderation, not to study magic before going to school, and to spend more time with your mother.

There will be a gathering of nobles in England before entering the school, and you will go with me.

With such a big news, it's time for the heirs of the Friedrich family to come out and show their faces, isn't it? ”

The duke looked at his son and said with a smile. "You also need to get to know some people, which will help you in the future.

Know that your mother has already begun to find a suitable marriage partner for you from among the nobles in this meeting. ”

"Yes, father, my research has been stuck in a bottleneck lately, and it's time to relax. I'd love to meet some new people too.

However, I'm only 11 years old now, is my mother too anxious? ”

"Hahahaha, don't worry, William, your mother won't force you to choose.

You must know that there are many families who want to marry us, we just take a look at their quality first, and you will have a considerable choice. The Duke said to William with a smile.

The Duke pointed to the invitation on his desk, "That's all for today, take these letters away and reply to them yourself."

Don't forget today's conversation and remember your assurances, William. ”

"Yes, father."

William suppressed his excitement, took the letter, and walked out of the study. Finally, is he going to go to Hogwarts?

At this moment, this butterfly from another world flapped its wings, and William couldn't help but wonder, is Harry Potter really like in the original book? Is Ron as critical as the original? And Hermione............
