The Barton family, who live in London, had the weirdest day ever-

It was a sunny weekend, and it was rare not to have to go to work. Barton slept until nine o'clock in the morning before lazily crawling out of bed, kissing his still sleeping wife, Shirley, and then getting up and going to the bathroom to wash up, make breakfast, read the newspaper, and chat with neighbors about recent trivial matters, this leisurely habit has lasted for nearly a decade.

"Tom~Tom~" When he was humming a popular rock song from the 80s, he heard something rudely hitting the window of his living room, making an unsettling sound.

Kozmo walked over ———— was surprised when he saw what he saw outside the window.

"In broad daylight... Owl? ”

A gray and white owl slammed into the window pane like crazy, yes, an owl. It was the first time Kozmo had seen such a vibrant nocturnal creature in broad daylight.

Wondering if he was going to call someone from the zoo, he was surprised to find that the owl still had something like a letter tied to its feet!

Opening the window, the owl flew into his living room with wisdom in mind, and landed on the coffee table with his feet cocked, as if waiting for Kozmo to take the uncomfortable foreign object from his feet.

"What the hell ......" Kozmo, who didn't understand too much, untied the rope and let the magical creature jump around on his coffee table, eating the dried fruit in the fruit box......

The cover of the letter reads......

London

George Big

78 Huijin Road

Bedroom on the second floor to the left

Brandi who hasn't woken up yet. Barton receives

It was a heavy letter, the envelope was made of heavy parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink. No stamps are affixed. When I turned the envelope over, I saw a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by the letters "H" in capital letters.

"............" Kozmo's head was a mess, when did his son start communicating with an owl...... My son usually studies hard and is also very sensible, so he shouldn't have a relationship with any strange people.

No matter, call your son down first.

"Brandi !!" Kozmo's baritone reverberated throughout the house, and the "messenger", who was eating dried fruit, was startled and choked in his throat by a whole piece of dried fruit...... I was so anxious to jump around on the coffee table.

A flurry of chickens and dogs jumping...... After that, the owl glared at Kozmo fiercely......

That's right, it was the first time Kozmo had seen an owl with such a spiritual expression.

(Holy, I'm despised by the birds!) Kozmo rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

At this moment, the sound of slippers came from far and near.

It was a little boy about eleven or twelve years old, with a slightly mature and resolute face compared to a child, short brown hair standing straight on the top of his head like a mane, and a slightly pale complexion, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but the light blue eyes revealed a very good spirit, the boy's figure was unexpectedly tall, eleven or twelve years old was about one meter five, slender but not thin, it seemed to have been seriously exercised.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Your letter is probably from a friend of yours, how can I say it? The communication method is a little special! Kozmo handed the letter to his son.

"My friend?" Brandi looked curiously at the owl, who was jumping around on the table and brushing his presence angrily, and opened the letter of unknown origin......

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore.

(President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizards Association, First Class Magician of the Order of Sir Merlin)

Dear Mr. Brandi,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of the required books and equipment. Semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will wait for your owl to hear back from you by July 31.

Vice-Chancellor (female) Minerva McGonagall

"Huh?" Brandi made an indecipherable voice. Hogwarts? Owl? What the hell!

But even with the countless thoughts churning in his mind, he still noticed the key word in it - magic school!

Does magic really exist? If yes, then that is, I was accepted into a magic school? But I've never taken any magic qualification exams or anything!

“…… Waiting for my ...... Owl? After reading the letter, Brandi muttered to himself and looked at the owl that was jumping on the coffee table to reveal his existence. Is that you? ”

The owl chick nodded like a peck of rice, it actually understood human speech!

"Oh my God......" Brandi didn't know what to use to express his feelings, probably like walking down the road when an old man in a cloak stopped him and announced that he could save the world by changing into a wizard's robe.

In fact, he never thought of himself as a special person, in fact, in the eleven years since he was born, there is absolutely nothing strange and strange that seems to happen to him, such as being able to levitate paper cups, talking to insects, or whatever.

If I had to say something a little weird......

I heard my dad say that when he was a year or two old, he seemed to speak in a strange foreign language......

It's funny! Who can understand two languages at the age of one or two, and of course, baby language is also a foreign language......

But now......

Looking at his nervous dad, Brandi thought.

"Let's discuss it with my mother......"

——

"Agreed!" Things moved unexpectedly quickly...... Almost as soon as she finished talking to her mother, her mother agreed with the "one-second decision method" that she was good at......

So are you my own mother............ Brandi kept scolding in his heart. Although she has lived with her mother for more than ten years, she has long expected that her mother may be a little unreliable, but Shirley's answer really refreshed her image in Brandi's heart.

"Kid Dad, it's the first time I've heard of such a thing as magic, maybe it's fun~"

"Shirley, I don't know if it's really magic, if it's a lie, the son will be in danger!" Kozmo was adamantly against this, joking, and it was too reckless to decide on his son's future on the basis of a letter of unknown origin.

"Huh? Eh...... It seems to be like this~" My mother tilted her head, looking cute. "But the letter is stamped on it, and it contains a list of materials to buy! No matter how you look at it, it looks super formal! ………… Huh? Why don't you speak, my dear? ”

"Why don't you go to heaven?"

………… Quickly kneel down for the two of them.

If that's all there is to the family meeting, then there's no doubt that Brandi still has to go to middle school honestly, but ......

In addition to the three people present, there seems to be a living creature in the house......

As if sensing that his mission was about to fail, the big gray-white bird fluttered into Shirley's arms, and rubbed its head against Shirley's chest while chirping low!

"Damn! Colored bird, you don't want to live anymore! Kozmo was furious and snapped up, and in response to a very unceremonious roll of the owl in Shirley's arms.

But at this time, there is no more Daddy's right to speak. Shirley was completely mesmerized by the cute little creatures............

"Oh, dear~~" Starry eyes glared at Daddy......

............ "Well, you win Dead Bird, and Brandi will go to your so-called school of magic!" Damn, stay away from my wife! ”

"Eh!?" Brandy, who had been watching for a long time, let out a low cry of surprise and delight.

Isn't it Daddy! Although I am personally glad that I can go to some magic academy to learn magic, but you sold me because of this, don't you take your son too seriously!

"Goo~~" The magical owl let out a smug laugh similar to that of a human, turned around and jumped on the coffee table, stretching his feet towards Brandi, the meaning of which was very obvious.

(Is this asking me to reply...... After thinking about the wording, Brandi took a pen and paper and wrote:

Dear Mr. Dumbledore,

I'm honored to have received an offer from you and will be there on time, but I don't know much about the wizarding world and would love your guidance.

Blondie. Patton, respectfully

After writing the letter, he tied the small note to the cloth bag on the owl's feet, and the owl turned his head and rubbed Brandy, and flew lightly, sliding out the window and into the sky.

The world of magic ...... Yes.

Brandy waited anxiously for the next few days, but no owl flew to his door.

(Could it be that the letter was a lie?) ）

I was in this state of anxiety until the day of July 31......

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Brandy, who had just finished watching a soap opera with his parents and was yawning and going upstairs to get ready for bed, heard the sound of a heavy knock on the door, even like a city-breaking hammer......

"Boom!" The door was slammed open, and a man with unkempt hair and a scruffy beard and a shabby overcoat ...... Giant? He stooped through the gate and appeared in the sight of the Pattons.

"Ahem...... Uh, I'm sorry, but maybe...... The knocker was a little stronger......" The giant blushed and sincerely apologized for what had just happened. However, this was obviously in vain, and the three members of the Barton family were already scared stupid at this time.

"Now down to business, I'm Hagrid, Rubeus Hagrid." The giant paused, "Hogwarts keykeeper, so who is Brandi Barton?" ”

………… A small figure shuddered and poked its head out of the shadows around the corner of the hallway.

"Probably, it's me......" Brandi replied in a cold sweat as he swallowed hard.
