Chapter 1: Magical Magic
Inside a small three-storey building near the village of Autry-St. Cachpole.
Eleven-year-old Kyle Chopper was standing at the window, looking seriously at the parchment in his hand.
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Sir Merlin, 1st Class, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, President of the International Confederation of Wizards)
Dear Mr. Chopper
We are pleased to inform you that you have been approved to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A list of books and items is included in the letter.
The semester starts on September 1. We will be waiting for a reply from your owl by July 31.
Vice-Chancellor (female) Minerva McGonagall
……
That's right, it's a Hogwarts acceptance letter.
Kyle has been waiting for this day since he crossed over eleven years ago.
As for why he is so sure, it is very simple, because there are several other special families living not far from the next door.
Among them, Kyle is most familiar with the editor-in-chief Lovegood, who sings the opposite tune.
and the Weasleys.
Especially the latter, the extremely strange architecture, and the red hair of the family, made Kyle instantly determine the composition of this world.
It is worth mentioning that being able to live here also shows that Kyle in this life also comes from a wizarding family.
His father, Chris Chopper, worked for the Ministry of Magic, Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, and Director of the Beasts Office. And thanks to his family talent for communicating with magical beasts, he was also one of the only students of Newt Scamander, a famous magizoologist.
Mother Diana is also in the Ministry of Magic, but in the Department of Mysteries, but what exactly she does, Kyle doesn't know. He also tried to use various methods to knock on the side, but all failed, obviously, his parents' sense of secrecy was quite in place, and not a single bit of information was revealed.
Family Status...... Well, because there have been no prominent people in the ancestors, it can only be said to be mediocre, compared to those famous surnames, such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald and the like.
But even so, Kyle is already very satisfied, at least his parents are wizards, and it must be no problem to enter Hogwarts.
Unless he's a squib.
And this was already denied after his first magical riot when he was three years old.
Although he had known that this day would come, Kyle almost jumped in excitement when the owl actually pecked open the window of his room with the envelope.
The baby holds the parchment like a child, and doesn't even let go of sleep, and looks at it every once in a while.
……
"Honey, you've been looking at that acceptance letter for three days, can you put it down? I assure you it's absolutely true! ”
Chris looked at his son who was starting to be silly again, and couldn't help but remind, "Don't forget that we made an appointment with the Weasleys next door today to go to Diagon Alley together, don't make the family wait for a long time." ”
"Okay Dad, I'll come now."
When Kyle heard this, he hurriedly put away the Hogwarts admission letter that he had read countless times, stood up hurriedly, and knocked on a wooden stake next to him by the way: "Groot, I'm leaving." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a little green guy jumped out and waved at Kyle.
Kyle has magical beasts in his house, but there aren't many of them, except for this one named Groot, and a cat named Tom.
Although Chris, as the deputy director of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, it is not difficult to raise even a dozen or twenty magical beasts, he did not do it. And even Groot and Tom were left behind because they were here to stay.
It's not that Chris doesn't like Fantastic Beasts, it's that he thinks that the so-called Fantastic Beasts shouldn't have stayed with wizards in the first place.
You can only call it a pet if you keep it around.
From this point of view, this middle-aged gentleman, who has always been gentle and has some good old names in the Ministry of Magic, is very resolute.
This view was also supported by Newt Scamander.
Newt also believes that Fantastic Beasts should be in nature, and has always done so.
As for why there are so many magical beasts in his magical box, it is purely because of Newt's own physical problems.
Kyle had seen the old man, and more than once, so he was sure.
Like some magical schoolboy of the Grim Reaper, Newtskamander also has a similar physique.
Kyle vividly remembers that when he was five years old, he followed Newt for a walk in the garden when he witnessed a ball bird fall headlong into Newt's arms.
You must know that the ball birds are natural apparition masters, although they are not very smart and do not deliberately hide themselves like other magical beasts, they have a strong sense of territory and the ability to perceive danger.
As soon as they perceive the approach of a wizard or other creature that threatens them, they will flee as soon as possible.
In the description of the ball escape bird in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the first sentence is that it can only be viewed from a distance, but it cannot be approached.
However, it was such a ball bird, and he actually fell into Newt's arms accurately.
It's outrageous.
And when he was seven years old, he still went out with Newt and met a salamander.
Eight-year-old, injured unicorn.
A ten-year-old fire crab that was almost made into a crucible.
……
Some of these magical creatures escaped after being smuggled into the British wizarding world, and some somehow sneaked around, and they always appeared around Newt in all sorts of unbelievable ways.
And this is still the premise of staying at home at Newt.
I think when he carried a box all over the world to send magical beasts home, the situation was much more serious than now.
Every time he sent a magical beast home, a dozen or twenty new magical beasts bumped into him, and after a long time, it was strange that there were not many animals in his box.
……
With this special talent, it's no wonder that Newt will be blacklisted by almost all the Ministry of Magic.
After all, those magical beasts didn't have a good temper before they met Newt, especially the injured and pregnant ones, and they would explode on the spot if something went wrong.
Think about it, you're leisurely drinking afternoon tea on the street, and suddenly a scorpion-headed scorpion-tailed sphin, or a poisonous leopard or something pops up next to you...... Tsk, that picture, just thinking about it can make people break out in a cold sweat.
So, what Gellert, what Voldemort, the Dark Lord has to do it himself if he does a sabotage? That's it? Weakly exploded, okay.
Look at Uncle Newt, you don't need to do it yourself if you want to disappear, just buy a plane ticket to stay for three or five days, drink coffee, and enjoy the scenery, and you don't even need to touch cause and effect afterwards.
Or that Grandma Tina is great, and she single-handedly sealed Newt by her side, and it is no exaggeration to say that the whole world owes her a Merlin First Class Medal.
It's just a bitter British magic world.
According to incomplete statistics, since Newt became Dorset, the number of incidents about magical beasts in the ministry has increased exponentially, and the British wizarding world has somehow become the most popular place for smugglers to sell stolen goods.
Fortunately, although the incidents have not stopped over the years, they have not caused any serious impact, and at most one of the unlucky people has suffered a slight injury.
Come to think of it as the birthplace of Uncle Newt, there is probably also a passive buff blessing here.
However, Chris was not so lucky, because of his position, he had to work overtime for several days every once in a while.
But Kyle probably enjoyed seeing him too.
……
All the way to the door, Kyle realized that in addition to Chris standing in the doorway, his mother Diana had also returned from the Ministry of Magic in rare advance, and was standing there looking at him with a smile.
Her long black hair was meticulously groomed, and her black-on-white robe was decently and atmospheric, and when she looked at Kyle, her light blue eyes were full of tenderness.
Elegant and intellectual.
That's what Kyle has always had of Diana.
Subconsciously, Kyle turned his head to look at Chris...... Well, it's a little handsome, and I can vaguely see some of the demeanor of my youth, and the two are a good match together.
The most important thing is that Chris is not bald, even though he is nearly forty years old, the distance between his hairline and eyebrows is still only about an inch. This is in stark contrast to Mr. Weasley next door.
Of course, with such a strong gene, Kyle's appearance is naturally not much worse, and among the people he knows, he can at least rank first, and he has a tendency to bring disaster to the country and the people at a young age.
Of course, it doesn't matter, Kyle never takes it to heart, and he doesn't eat with his face.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Kyle walked between the two and said embarrassedly.
"If you can put that notice away, it probably won't be too late, and Hogwarts won't leave England because you didn't keep it."
Chris looked at Kyle teasingly, telling a made-up joke.
Well, it's a joke, at least Chris laughed a lot when he said it.
As for Kyle, although he didn't understand what Chris was laughing at, he still politely pulled the corners of his mouth, all as if he was giving face to his father.
Thankfully, it didn't last long.
"Alright, it's getting late, we're leaving."
Diana smiled slightly, interrupting the awkward interaction between father and son, and took Kyle's hand by the way: "There are a lot of things to buy for admission, we have to hurry over, and it's rude to keep the Weasleys waiting for a long time." ”
With that, with a crisp pop, he disappeared with Kyle.
Seeing this, Chris also quickly apparition and followed.
