In Zhang Xiao's complicated gaze, the eggshell-like light curtain slowly dissipated, and the jade pendant also absorbed the light.

In the past life, those problems that were ignored by oneself intentionally or unintentionally resurfaced.

For example, a family lives in a slum area, and the parents are not worried about their safety at all, according to the thinking of ordinary Chinese parents, they are desperate to keep their children away from danger.

But I have been worried about it for several years, and I have saved money for a long time to get a revolver with me in a black neighborhood through school, and I often practice, but I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself when I encounter danger.

Another example is that I beat up my classmates on the first day of school, and I thought that my parents and school were going to come to find trouble, but I didn't have any.

This also fueled his "arrogance" and laid the foundation for the whole school in the future.

There is also the most critical question, their family of three is in the UK, no one wants to change their nationality, how did he go to school???

Zhang Xiao put away her things and walked home again with a stomach full of questions.

As for calling the police to clean up the aftermath or something... That unlucky guy named Jason is right in one sentence, the slums don't even want the British government to take care of, so why bother?

When I passed by the apartment mailbox, I grabbed the contents out of my mind and continued to think about things.

He is still quite familiar with the story of Harry Potter, and he is not a fanatical of Harry Potter, but he has read novels and movies, and even "Hogwarts: Legacy" has 200+ hours of playtime.

It's been ten years, and many details are not clear, but if you think about it carefully, you can still remember a lot of things.

Could it be that the parents are also wizards or something like that? So do you have this talent?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xiao was discouraged, generally speaking, gifted little wizards would have signs of magic explosion at an early age.

For example, Potter's hair, unconscious teleportation, dissolving glass, etc., and I have no experience at all.

Is it because of this reason that my parents hide it? A Squib himself?

Maybe it's good to be an ordinary person who doesn't know.

Zhang Xiao thought bitterly, he grabbed the newspaper casually, trying to divert his attention through some things.

But I found that there seemed to be something sandwiched in the middle of the newspaper, which seemed to be a letter, a credit card reminder?

Zhang Xiao thought wildly, and casually flipped the letter to the back.

On the back of the envelope, there was a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by the capital "H".

Zhang Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, his hands were tightly forced, and he opened the envelope tremblingly, took out the letter and read it:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Confederation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Guild, First Class Wizard of the Order of Merlin).

Dear Mr. Xiao Chang, 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-Principal (female) Minerva McGonagall is hereby up.

An explosion of joy spread in his heart.

Zhang Xiao opened his mouth, only feeling like a balloon in his heart was constantly expanding in his body, making his whole person flutter and dizzy.

Is this a Hogwarts offer? I'm not a Squib? I'm going to Hogwarts? I'm going to Hogwarts to study magic?

With a hearty smile on her face, Zhang Xiao held the letter in a daze and read it over and over again.

Even though he was familiar with the zigzag arc of each letter, he was still reluctant to put down the letterhead.

It wasn't until the door of the room was slammed open that he was startled and woke up from his intoxication, and before Zhang Xiao could react, two figures were already standing in front of him.

Mother Li Qingshu still has a shiny suona hanging on her waist, obviously directly engaged in the main house.

She half-squatted, held Zhang Xiao with both hands, and looked carefully for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief

"Xiaoxiao is fine."

Father Zhang Chengdao closed his eyes with a serious face and turned back and forth in place a few times, and only nodded after hearing his wife's words, and said angrily

"Count them fast!"

Zhang Xiao originally wanted to tell her parents about what happened before. But when I actually saw it, I forgot everything.

He held up the letter and shouted excitedly:

"Mom and Dad, look!"

Li Qingshu took the letter curiously, just glanced at it roughly, and gave the letter to Zhang Chengdao with a strange face.

Well? This is not the right reaction, does it mean that Mom and Dad really know about Hogwarts?

The family of three sat on the sofa, Zhang Chengdao took the letter, pondered for a while, and asked, "Son, do you want to go here... Does Hogwarts go to school? ”

Zhang Xiao nodded hurriedly, who doesn't have a Huo Meng?

Zhang Chengdao sighed, took out a pen from his robe, and wrote a few lines on the back of the letter.

Zhang Xiao secretly looked at it, and it was still beautiful in English.

As if sensing his son's peeping, Zhang Chengdao said without raising his head:

"Generally speaking, if there is no registered family, Hogwarts will send a professor to prove the existence of the wizarding world, as long as you make a note on the letterhead, there is no need for a professor."

Do you want to understand it that way? I don't even know about this trivia!

Zhang Xiao didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she could only look at her father and mother.

After folding the letter paper again, Zhang Chengdao pondered for a while, and finally said:

"I don't know how to tell you, you should have a lot of questions, right?"

Zhang Xiao nodded, pointed to his pendant, and briefly told what happened before.

When it came to the female ghost, my parents just frowned slightly and didn't take it seriously.

And when she heard the green light being launched from the other side to deal with her son, Li Qingshu raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were slight, and she shouted coldly to her husband: "Lao Zhang! ”

Zhang Chengdao also squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Look for death!" Leave it to me! ”

Then he cleaned up his emotions, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to his son slowly:

"Okay, the matter of the jade pendant can be put back first, let's talk about our family first."

Zhang Chengdao said directly: "There is a magic world in the west, and there is naturally a Xuanmen in the East, and Longhu Mountain is the leader among the Xuanmen.

Your mother and I are both from Longhu Mountain, orthodox, and your father and I are one of the future heirs of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.

Because of the domestic turmoil a few decades ago, even the Daomen were panicked, and the Heavenly Master made another hexagram.

said that my mother and I will have a son in the future, and the opportunity is in the West, and if the fate is not there, we will not be able to cultivate.

So it's not only a dark line insurance, but also for you.

We walked around Europe and ended up in England.

As for this Hogwarts, it is an extremely famous school of witchcraft and wizardry in the West, and if you look at it today, you may have the opportunity to go to it, and it doesn't hurt to go to school. ”

Although he grew up abroad, his child's education has not been put down, and Zhang Xiao's extracurricular reading materials are all textbooks such as the Sujiao version or Chinese biographical novels, so Zhang Chengdao is not worried that his son will not understand.

Zhang Xiao not only understood, but the experience of the two lives made him think crookedly to the point that the husband and wife could not expect.

Dragon Tiger Mountain! Heavenly Master's Mansion! Is the Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei's kind? Or the kind in the novels of cultivating immortals?

He thought that his parents' origins were not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so simple!

But then, he had more questions, why the domestic turmoil can make the Daomen also follow the turmoil, since he is the heir of the Daomen, how can he live a miserable life in the UK, relying on a stall fortune telling.

Daomen shouldn't be bad for money, right?

Also, since you can cultivate the Tao, what kind of magic can you learn, Edgeworth Flying Immortals, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea is not more powerful than magic!

Listening to their son's question, the couple laughed and trembled, and Li Qingshu touched Zhang Xiao's head

"Xiaoxiao, brocade clothes and jade food are life, coarse tea and light rice are also life, and materialism is not a bad thing.

But these are like floating clouds to me, and I can enter and be born in the world, and this is the attitude that a cultivator should have.

Of course, you don't have to feel guilty about your preference for luxury, it is against human nature to be pure-hearted and have few desires, and you will naturally understand when your cultivation reaches home in the future. ”

And my father summed up magic and Taoism

"There is no difference between Taoism and magic, but everyone is different, and as far as I know, magic still has a lot to offer.

As for what you said about flying swords thousands of miles away to take the enemy's head.... Son, when did you watch the Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan? ”

Zhang Xiao was silent, his mind was full of immortal cultivation novels of later generations, in which the protagonists opened up the world at every turn, moved mountains and seas, and even had many recreations, which had long been preconceived.

In the end, my father made up his mind, there is no conflict between Dao and Demon, and the cultivation route is not the same, and the two practitioners are not in the way!

As for why the domestic turmoil affected Daomen, Zhang Chengdao did not explain too much, but said that it was very complicated, and he would know it later.

Looking at his father's appearance, Zhang Xiao didn't dare to ask, and the more excessive question was directly pressed to death in his heart.

"Since there really is a cultivation world, and Dad said that magic and Taoism are inseparable, then according to the power of magic, it is easy to kill the little devil, why don't you kill the little devil?" (Note 1)

He was afraid that his father would beat him if he asked, anyway, the days are still long, and it will be a big deal to find the answer himself in the future.

This family talk gradually came to an end, and in the end, Zhang Chengdao hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, but patted Zhang Xiao's shoulder and encouraged

"Study hard at Hogwarts, don't embarrass us!"

Zhang Xiao smacked her lips, in the end, it was a Chinese parent, this familiar feeling is in the same vein!

Li Qingshu looked at the table clock and stood up to express his opinion

"Okay, it's almost two o'clock, Xiaoxiao hurry up and go to bed!"

Zhang Chengdao squeezed his eyes at Zhang Xiao and coughed dryly:

"Your mother is right, I read the letter that there are some things to prepare for the admission of new students, and they should be bought in Diagon Alley, and I will take you to go shopping with your mother tomorrow, and now hurry up and go to bed!"

Li Qingshu didn't mention it, but as soon as she said the time, Zhang Xiao suddenly felt sleepy, and couldn't help yawning, only to feel that her eyes couldn't open open.

staggered to his small bed, with a longing similar to the eve of the spring outing with primary school students, and fell asleep.

Li Qingshu quietly came to her son's bed, helped him tuck the quilt, and couldn't help laughing when she looked at the smile on the child's face.

It must have been a good dream.

Note 1: Official setting: Thousands of wizards joined the war during World War I, among which Newt Skaman's older brother Theseus Scaman was called a "war hero" after the war, so the statement that wizards did not participate in national wars is not valid.

The problem of Daomen's participation in the war will fill this hole in the future
