Chapter 8: Grandfather
Two days later, the Anderson family drove to Charles Street, where Albert's grandfather and grandmother lived at 21 Charles Street.
Every year, the Anderson family would take time out to visit the two seniors. During the summer holidays, Albert always came here for a few days.
"Dad, I've come to see you. ”
"Albert, come here, let me see!" Luke walked up to his grandson in complete oblivion and stared at his grandson, "Herb said, it's great that you've received a letter from Hogwarts. If there's anything you'd like to buy, you can tell me......"
"Dad, I've already taken Albert to Diagon Alley in London to buy something. Herb looked at his father helplessly, cleared his throat and said, "I have brought you a gift." ”
"I'm not a child, I want a gift. Luke glanced up at his son, took Albert's little hand and said, "Come in, tell me what magic you've learned." ”
"Luke has been excited for days, like a child. Sansa said to the Herbs, "He hadn't told me about it before, I only found out a few days ago, and he didn't miss me after seeing Nia for a long time." ”
"My brother wouldn't let me touch his wand, and he always guarded me like a thief. Nia immediately reported to her grandmother.
"Herb, watch Tom, don't let it run around. Daisy picked up the package in the car and asked her husband to carry the cat cage so that the guy would not run away from the cat as soon as he got out of the cage.
"Can Albert really do magic?" Sansa found this interesting, not realizing that her grandson was still a legendary wizard.
"Yes, he can make his wand glow, and he secretly practices in his room every night. "Nia took her grandmother's hand and counted Albert," he added, adding that if I had taken my wand, I would have blown up the house.
"Mom, you don't know, that wand is really dangerous, let me tell you......" Herb followed the two of them with the cat cage, and muttered about what he had seen in Diagon Alley.
Albert thought it was dangerous to experiment with magic indiscriminately. Daisy added that she had read the history of magic, knew some of what was going on in the wizarding world, and still knew a little about the wizarding world.
"Alright Daisy, it's not as bad as you think. ”
"No, Mom, in fact, even in the wizarding world, children will not be allowed to hold wands easily. "Daisy is completely on Albert's side, and their son is very reliable.
"How do you know. Herb asked curiously.
"If you read all those books, you'll know. Daisy looked at her husband reproachfully, "Can you take Albert to heart, he's our precious son." ”
"Don't worry, Albert didn't need us to worry about it since he was a child. "Herb is well aware of his son's character, and Albert has always been very reassuring.
"Even so, you should have a snack. Daisy entered the door with the package and closed the door with her hand.
After being released from the cat cage, Tom starts running around, Sansa and Daisy go to the kitchen to prepare dessert and tea, and Luke listens to his son and grandson talk about Diagon Alley, and the missing parts will complement each other.
Of course, Luke knew that wizarding portraits were moving, and he also knew something about Dumbledore.
He put the chocolate frog that Herb had brought with him into a large glass bottle and placed it in the living room as an ornament.
"I also wrote to Dumbledore at the time, asking why I hadn't received the invitation. After all these years, Luke was relieved, "Because I didn't have the slightest ability to cast spells, which is called a squib, I was sent away by my family when I was eleven years old and given to an ordinary distant relative to raise. ”
"How could they do that?" Herb was puzzled and angry, feeling that his father's family had gone too far.
"Squibs are a disgrace to a wizard's family. Luke whispered, "They will hide this secret as much as possible, even pretending that there is no such person." ”
"Not sad, not sad. Nia reassured.
"After so many years, I have also let go of these things, and I have completely cut off contact with the family over there. Luke picked up Nia and put it on his lap and said with a smile, "However, Albert became a wizard a bit of a surprise, and I gave up completely before Herb received the invitation. ”
During the small talk, Albert showed them new spells, such as the Glowing Charm, the Repair Charm and the Cleansing Charm, as well as the Lockpicking Charm, which were the four magic spells he currently mastered, thanks to the Wizard Bloodline who had reached level 2.
Although I didn't have a good grasp of it, it was still quite surprising to see the cracked teacup slowly repaired, and the tea poured on the table being wiped dry without warning.
"I want it too. Nia looked at her grandfather coquettishly and whispered, "I want to learn magic too, Albert is too cunning." ”
Luke looked at his grandson and asked for his opinion, knowing that Albert had his own opinions, and that there were some things that he would not dictate to him.
"You can only do what I say. Albert looked at his sister, and he was actually curious if Nia had any magical talents.
"I will, I promise. Nia nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"I promised so quickly, forget it, you didn't listen to me at all. Albert stared at his sister and said earnestly.
"Why, I'm listening. Nia hurriedly retorted.
"Read it to me first, the fluorescent flicker. ”
"Fluorescent flickering. Nia hurriedly followed along, knowing it was a spell.
"Read it slowly a few more times, and you can't make a mistake, otherwise no one knows what will happen. Albert instructed, "I'll lend you my wand later, don't poke it with it, don't use it on people, don't chant incantations, and don't lose your temper even if you can't use magic." ”
"Got it. Nia said a little impatiently.
"I just said something. Albert asked suddenly.
"Don't poke your wand, don't ......," Nya forgot her words, pouting and complaining, "I'm not you, how can I remember so many things." ”
"If you can't remember, I can't give you my wand. Albert said earnestly.
"Yes...... Well, you're talking about it once. Nia compromised.
Watching Albert eat Nia to death, the Anderson family laughed, children, always like to be naughty, and Nia is in a similar situation.
However, Albert has a way of dealing with her mischievousness.
It was only after Nia memorized his words that Albert gave her his wand.
Nia excitedly took the wand, and after being glared at by Albert, she became honest and obediently recited the spell to try to use the glowing charm, however, the spell was unsuccessful.
"Take a deep breath, focus, and try again. Albert put his hand on Nia's shoulder and whispered.
The Glowing Charm is one of the simplest spells, and if it can't be used, it most likely means that Nia may not have the talent to become a wizard.
"Fluorescent flickering. Nia tried a few more times, but none of them worked.
"You're in a hurry, don't worry, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to fail. Albert stroked his sister's hair and turned his head to look at his grandfather.
Luke shook his head at him, Albert knew what that meant.
"I don't have the talent to be a wizard. Nia had a sad face and looked sad.
"I don't know. Albert reassured, "Perhaps, it's just because of your young concern." ”
"I hate it, Albert always likes to deceive people, I must not have the talent to be a wizard. Nia dropped her wand and ran away.
Albert picked up his wand helplessly, looking in the direction Nia had run away, ready to catch up.
Small children are trouble.
"I'm going to find Nia. Luke stood up and walked in the direction of his granddaughter, knowing how Nia was feeling right now.
