In Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in an old castle not far from the seafront, a boy with pale blond hair and blue eyes was lying in front of the bay window on the second floor, holding a pale yellow envelope with the words written in emerald green ink: Cardiff, Butterfield Castle, second floor, in front of the bay window near the sea, by Mr. Brett Butterfield.

The boy turned over and took out a piece of aromamed hare jerky and fed it to the owl who delivered the letter, and the owl glanced at the raven standing at the head of the bed not far away, which was two circles larger than it, hurriedly picked up the jerky, turned and flew due north in the drizzle, and gradually disappeared.

The boy stretched out his hand, the paint on the envelope fell, he pulled out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it:

"Oh, I've finally received my acceptance letter," the boy sighed and put away the letterhead, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.

This boy is Gu Laixi, who came from the plane of the Iron Umbrella Monster, and is also Zhang Xiaoguang from the original earth. A wise man must make a mistake, not to mention that he is not a wise man, he has made all the preparations for crossing before, but he did not expect that this Kaka, who had suffered a thousand cuts, would send him to England in the early twentieth century, which made him a little unexpected, but fortunately, it didn't take long to accept this reality.

Brett Butterfield was born on August 2, 1928, and he will be 10 years old in half a month. His father, Earl Hugh Butterfield, was an English aristocrat of Germanic ancestry, (don't be pretentious to me, I'm the author, and that's what I do in my novels.) Don't play with me, thank you. It is also from a pure-blood wizard family with a long history. Her mother, Sophie Butterfield, came from the McMillan family, both of which were older pure-bloods.

Hugh Butterfield is a true gentleman, with the same pale blonde hair, always meticulously groomed, a tall nose with deep blue eyes, well-dressed on weekdays, elegant in conversation, well-informed, knowledgeable, with good interpersonal relationships, no bad habits, and a rare good man. However, he is not a man who does nothing with the title of earl, making money is his greatest hobby, he is involved in military industry, banking, and investment, on the other hand, he also has several magic shops in his hands, and is also one of the trustees of Hogwarts.

Sophie Butterfield, on the other hand, was an elegant noblewoman, but she was a relatively cold person, and her favorite thing to do was to take care of her beautiful blonde curls, put on a luxurious dress, and hold various tea parties in the garden or banquet hall, sometimes as a friend of the wizarding world, sometimes as a friend of the aristocratic circle. In this decade, shortly after the end of the First World War, the war did not seem to have had much impact on their lives.

The two of them have a common characteristic, that is, they will not interfere too much in Brett's life, and they will leave him to the care of the nanny Fran Vane since he was a child, and in addition to the strict aristocratic etiquette education by a special person every day, they usually invite the tutor to study at home, and in other respects it can almost be said to be free-range, and he will only be forced to participate in the occasional formal family gathering.

At first, Brett didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, until he was two years old, and one day he noticed the date of the newspaper in Hugh Butterfield's hand, "Hmm...... Kaka, are you trying to nip Voldemort in the bud?"

The Butterfield family is an ancient pure-blood wizard family, but there are no house elves in the castle, because their ancestors didn't like those ugly little things very much, and the family has been taken care of by a special housekeeper for hundreds of years, and the current generation of housekeepers is named Niles Davis, who is also a wizard, about 10 years older than Xiu, and is a very shrewd, polite and middle-aged uncle who doesn't talk much. Other than that, everyone else, including Fran's babysitter, is just ordinary people who are unaware of the existence of the wizarding world.

Fortunately, the housekeeper is usually busy, Fran Nanny is a big grin and sunny Jewish woman, Brett can also sneak into the system world to practice in his spare time, and for more than ten years, he has finally cultivated the realm to the late stage of foundation building by speeding up the flow of time and taking the best elixir, after all, without the experience copy of the back mountain, it is very difficult to get a pill.

Brett took the letter, walked to the door of the Butterfield couple's room, knocked lightly, and the door was opened by Xiu, who was reading a book in the room.

"Brett, what's the matter?" Xiu asked Brett with a smile.

"Well, I just received a letter from Hogwarts. Brett held up the pale yellow envelope in his hand.

"Oh, yes, our little Bray is going to be 11 years old, congratulations, go tell your mom the good news. Xiu stretched out his slender fingers and stroked the top of Brett's head and sighed.

Sophie, who had just taken a nap in the room, had noticed the movement outside, stretched lazily, gently lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Brett who walked in with a smile.

"Good boy, you've finally grown up, let Niles arrange it tonight, let's celebrate it as a family, how about you drink some creamy beer today?" Sophie tilted her head to look at Brett with her equally blue eyes.
