Chapter 68: I Want to Go
"Grandpa Luke, Grandma Sansa, we're coming to see you!"
As soon as she opened the door, Nia ran out of the car like the wind and threw herself into Luke's arms with her hands outstretched.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Nia, how are you doing since school started. ”
"It's not good, school is so boring. Nia pursed her lips and complained, "I want to go to Hogwarts." ”
"Nia isn't old enough, she still has to wait two years. Luke said a reassuring word and looked up at the Herbs, "Let's talk when we come into the house." ”
Sansa looked at her granddaughter and asked, "Nia, did you miss me?"
"Grandma Sansa, I miss you so much. Nia threw herself into the old man's arms, causing Sansa to giggle.
"Albert asked the owl to send something back, I think ......" Herb could finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Luke.
Luke looked up and looked around again, and reminded the Herbs, "If there's anything, let's talk about it in the house." ”
"Albert asked the owl to send us something, and we're still looking at it?" Sansa smiled at the Herbs and said, "I didn't expect the wizard's drink to taste so strange." ”
"Don't leave your cat in the car. Luke turned to remind Herb.
"I'll take it. Daisy carried the cat cage into the house and closed the door of the entrance with her backhand.
In the living room, Sheila is resting at the table, eating the owl nuts that Albert has put in the box.
As soon as Tom was released from the cage, he jumped on the table and glared at the owl, and the two sides were ready to fight, as if ready to fight.
"Don't make a fuss, Tom. Daisy reached out and scooped Tom up and put it on her lap.
"These are the things Albert sent back too?" Herb placed the large box on the table, his eyes falling on the open box next to him.
"You don't know your son yet. Daisy glanced at Herb, "Even if you forget, he won't." ”
Albert has always been Daisy's pride!
What, other people's children are good?
, who said that.
How can other people's children be as good as their own children?
"But where did Albert buy these things? He didn't go to that Hogwarts school or something. Sansa was puzzled that these things were not sold in schools.
"It should have been mail-ordered using an owl. Herb knew very well how capable Albert was, and it wasn't the first time he had shopped from Diagon Alley in London via an owl.
"Can you unwrap it?" asked Nia impatiently.
"Absolutely. Herb said with a smile.
The package was only delivered this morning. However, after discussing with his family, Herb still planned to share this happiness with his parents, so the family hurried to the car.
The package contained a piece of rolled parchment tied with red ribbons, and a paper bag with a photograph on it placed next to it. There are also a few bottles of drinks and some snacks underneath.
Nia picked up the paper bag and opened it to find that it was full of photos taken by Albert, and the photos were followed by sorting numbers.
The first photo is of the red Hogwarts Express.
"Parchment and photographs, too. Sansa handed Daisy the pile of pictures and picked up the parchment, "Albert said that this is the Hogwarts Express that is used to transport children to Hogwarts school. ”
"I didn't expect a wizard to take a steam locomotive to school?" Daisy picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but complain, "I can't find this kind of antique all over the UK." ”
With that, Daisy handed the picture to her husband and took a bottle out of the box...... Pumpkin juice?
"Looks like it should be a drink. She opened the pumpkin-shaped lid on the glass bottle, poured some into the cup, and took a small sip.
"How?" Herb asked.
"It tastes a little weird. Daisy poured the remaining pumpkin juice into the other cups and distributed it to the rest of the family in the living room.
Nia took the cup and took a sip, her little face wrinkled slightly, "This juice tastes so strange, it doesn't feel as good as the juice sold outside." ”
After Herb finished drinking, he blinked and said, "It's not unpleasant, but it does taste weird." ”
"I've almost forgotten the smell. Luke's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Nia finished the pumpkin juice in the cup, pointed to the butterbeer in the box and said, "I want to drink this!"
"But it seems to be...... Beer?" Daisy looked at the Butterbeer handwriting on the label, a little confused, she didn't want her daughter to get drunk at this age.
"It's okay, we've just had this, it's not like beer, it's not much alcohol, it's more like a drink, otherwise Albert wouldn't have sent it back. Luke comforted softly, "It tastes a bit like a not-so-greasy butter hard candy." ”
Luke poured some of the freshly opened butterbeer for both Herb and Daisy, and asked them to taste it before deciding whether to give it to Nia.
"There's a strong buttery aroma there," Daisy sniffed and took a sip, the taste smooth.
"Butterbeer is a big seller in the wizarding world, just like our soda, which isn't unpleasant, but it tastes a little weird. ”
"Why do wizards like to drink such things?" said Nia, pursed her lips and took another sip.
"Drink less, there's still a trace of alcohol in it. Daisy reminded.
"At least let me finish the butterbeer in my cup. After Nia drank the rest of the butterbeer, her interest in the magical drink was greatly reduced.
"There is only slightly cool alcohol in it, as long as you don't drink too much, even if you are a minor, there is no problem with it. Herb comforted, but after being glared at by his wife, he obediently shut up, knowing that Daisy cared about the education of her children.
The rest of the box was taken out and placed on the table, and the rest were snacks for Nia.
Nia opened the chocolate frog and took a bite, not knowing what she was thinking.
Daisy untied the ribbon and handed the rolled parchment to Herb to read the letter.
This letter is very detailed about Hogwarts castles.
From the newborns' crossing of the lake to walking through the oak doors of Hogwarts Castle and stepping into the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony, this letter unveils Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry little by little.
The enchanted roof, the entrance to the kitchen below the hall is actually a fruit painting, and through the moving staircase, it talks to the talking portrait in the hallway.
The castle is also home to magical secret passages, pranks on the stairs, ghosts that inhabit the castle, knightly armor that can walk around, classrooms for classes, long corridors, and the gatekeeper of the Gryffindor common room: the Fat Lady.
Enter the Gryffindor's common room and take the stairs to their dormitory, where they live with their three roommates.
The six-foot-long letter introduces the Anderson family to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in detail, and with the map and photographs, it makes people feel like they have visited Hogwarts Castle in person.
Nia leaned on Daisy's shoulder and muttered, "I want to go too!"
