Received by Mr. Harry Potter

Harry:

I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, the day I received the letter happened to be your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday!

From today onwards, your life will be very different!

Don't ask me how I know...... Perhaps, because of an owl?

That's right, on July 22nd, I went back and forth under the bridge to revise my second article, and then an owl (or maybe an eagle owl?) Sorry I don't know the difference).

Anyway, you know, emerald ink, a badge—

[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

(President of the International Confederation of Wizards, First Class Grand Magician of the Order of Merlin, Chief Magician of Wizengamot)

(Here's a word: this title is really unconscious, really very high-end!) )

Dear Miss Linan,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been approved to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, enclosing a list of the required books and equipment.

The semester is scheduled to start on September 1st, and we will be waiting for your owl to hear back from you by July 31st.

vice-principal

Minerva McGonagall

……

Did you receive it?

I'm sure you did, after all, you're the famous "boy who never dies".

Luckily, not long after I had written my reply, Professor McGonagall came over herself—

Sorry, it may not be decent to say that, but anyway, with a bang, we met under this well-cleaned bridge.

(Professor McGonagall's loving eyes really surprised me, but I wasn't that miserable.) )

Then, as a poor student, I received a grant of Galleons (thankfully, without nine years of compulsory education, it would still be too hard for me to go to school even if I had saved up £35 by now)

Well, I'm going to answer your question now, too.

I, Lin An, am eleven years old and have a birthday of 7.22 (you can think about what gift to give me next year).

Unfortunately, I probably can't go to Diagon Alley with you, and Professor McGonagall came to guide me, so I've already been to Diagon Alley by the time I write back.

- The world of magic is amazing.

However, since all of them are monopolies, it is really difficult to bargain.

But, that doesn't bother me.

On the day I went to Diagon Alley, I saw a couple of seniors who were clearly in uniform, so I talked to them and bought the second-hand first-grade books they were about to throw away.

Wow!

It's so much cheaper than the used book store I asked before!

Honestly, is it really good to sell all the books before you graduate?

In China, these have to be reviewed before graduation.

However, the people I was looking for were probably scumbags, and their books were even quite new (except for one book with a burnt on the cover, which is said to have been burned while practicing spells)

I need to use these balancing telescopes medicine bottles and crucibles about every semester, so I can only go to second-hand stores to buy them.

Luckily, I picked a good one.

I didn't buy a pet, I heard that there were in school. It's just that I heard that all electronic gadgets can't be used at Hogwarts, so if I can't send emails, my writing career will die before it even starts.

After all, even if it's handwritten, you can't let an owl send me a manuscript, right?

Looks like I'm going to have to think about some other way to make money in school.

Letters are slow these days, Harry, and I can't wait to learn about the wizarding world, so I probably won't be writing to you in August.

On the first of September, I am waiting for you at nine and three-quarters of the stop.

Hope you recognize me.

Your faithful:

Lin an
