Chapter 1 Owl and boy
At dusk, the setting sun, which is slowly disappearing from the horizon, is given a faint golden yellow color to the big house at 6 King’s Road, London.
This is a classic British villa, spacious, bright and stylish.
The three-story wall is covered with creeping claws. The roof is covered with beautiful brown tiles. The grass and flower beds in the yard are neatly rested. A luxurious Bentley car is quietly stopped. Outside the garage.
A beautiful sunset, serene and quiet.
In addition to the balcony on the top floor of the villa, a dark-haired boy is looking at an owl, and the strangeness between the two is incompatible with the style of painting in front of him.
Evan Mason stared at the owl in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity. Owls are not unusual. Birds that can be seen in ordinary residents' homes, especially on the other's claws, are holding a brown envelope made of thick parchment.
Ai Wen has a feeling that the letter is for himself.
But he wasn't sure how to get it, because the owl seemed to want to get some rewards from himself before he was willing to hand it over.
"Hello there!"
Ai Wen greeted him and tried to communicate with the other person, although it made himself look a bit silly.
"咕~~"
The owl screamed softly, staring at the boy with his head, and the brown pupil was full of alert.
"Don't be nervous, I am not malicious!"
Evan tried to make his voice look mild. He slowly extended his right hand. "Is the letter you wrote to me, I think..."
When his words were not finished, he was interrupted by a loud shout from the building. "Dear, you are ready, we are leaving!"
Then there was the voice of someone going upstairs.
"Oh, my mother, can't let her see you!"
Ai Wen suddenly woke up and refused to communicate further with the owl in front of him. His right hand slammed forward and waved, trying to drive it away.
"Hey!" The offended owl hurried to hide.
"Sorry, my mother is allergic to birds. She sees all kinds of birds, big and small, terrible." Ai Wen waved his hand and explained in a quick tone, "You must hurry out of here!" ”
It seems that Aiwen’s unreasonable action finally convinced the owl that the boy would not give himself something to eat. After a second, it waved its wings, flew up and slammed Avon, and threw the letter to his feet.
"Oh!"
Evan screamed in pain, watching the owl fly out of the balcony like a whirlwind, disappearing from his own eyes.
Don't care for the other, before the mother came in, he lowered his head and smashed the envelope under his feet. With the emerald green ink on it, he clearly wrote: Bedroom, 3rd Floor, No. 6, King's Road, Xiaohuijin District, Surrey. Mr. Wen Mason received.
"This letter, and the owl just now..."
Ai Wen narrowed his eyes, and these obvious and grotesque things in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Ai Wen, we have to hurry, your father has been waiting for us in the car." A well-dressed middle-aged woman came in and said in a slightly serious tone, "The first visit to someone else's home, late is a very tense. Rude things."
"Know, Mom!"
Ai Wen didn't have time to think about it. He didn't pay attention to the other party and stuffed the envelope into his trouser pocket.
Their family had a small family gathering tonight, and the other was his father’s business partner. To be precise, his father’s construction company was preparing to purchase a large number of rigs from the other side.
For Ai Wen, this kind of dinner, he did not have to participate, but the other party's family just had a big one-year-old child, just happened to study at Smetin High School.
Ai Wen is 11 years old this year. After more than a month, he has to go to Smetin High School. His parents feel it necessary to let their children get in touch with the future seniors.
"Mom, you haven't told me, what is the name of the senior?"
Along the way, Aiwen felt that he had to do something to divert his attention away from the letter in his trouser pocket. Before he knew the contents of the letter, he was not sure if he would tell the parents about it.
Maybe, this is just a bad joke from someone. There is no need for the mother to worry about this.
"Dear, I told you last week that the child's name is Dudley." Mrs. Mason replied briskly.
"Dalids, I dare say, you will be good friends." Mr. Mason added while driving.
"Dalid Seri, this is really a good name!" Ai Wen bowed his head and pondered.
In fact, he does know that a person also calls this name.
If he remembers correctly, Daredes should have seen a character in the Harry Potter series of novels before he was born again. In the book, Dudley is a child who is overbearing and spoiled from childhood, bringing Harry a tragic childhood.
For this guy, Ai Wen was impressed, but it was hard to say what a good impression.
However, after all, it is a character in the novel. Although he was born again to the United Kingdom in the 1980s and 1990s, there is no evidence that this is the magical world of Harry Potter.
"Easy, it should just be just a name."
Ai Wen tried to convince himself, but when he thought about seeing the owl, he was a little uneasy.
Taking care of his parents, Ai Wen secretly took out the letter in his trouser pocket. He flipped the envelope quickly and saw it on the back of the envelope with a wax seal and a shield coat of arms around the uppercase "H" letter. There is a lion, an eagle, a dragonfly and a snake.
Ai Wen’s eyes slammed wide, his hands pressed tightly, and the envelope was taken apart by trembling, and the letter was read:
President of Hogwarts School of Magic: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Magic Federation, President of the Wizarding Association, Merlin Jazz First Class Magician).
Dear Mr. Mason, We are pleased to inform you that you have been approved to attend the Hogwarts School of Magic. Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment. The semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will wait for your owl to bring your reply before July 31. Vice-President (female) Mileva McGonagall.
God, this is a letter from Hogwarts. He should have thought of it. Besides the magic school, who would send an owl with an owl.
"Dear, you don't have to be so nervous." Noting the exception of Ai Wen, Mrs. Mason turned and whispered comfortably. "I heard your father say that the Dursleys are very friendly and Dudley is also a polite one. Child, you will love this new friend."
"Yes, Mom!" Ai Wen replied subconsciously. "I am not nervous, just a little excited."
In the past eleven years, he has been preparing for the future in accordance with the familiar real world. Now he suddenly tells him that this is a completely magical world of his own. Isn't that a joke?
Fortunately, before Ai Wen was born again, he was very fond of Harry Potter's novels, and he was familiar with the contents. Even if he couldn't remember all the plots, the big events could be recalled more or less, which made him a little bit. I was relieved.
The question now is how to tell your parents about this.
Also, if you don't make a mistake, he will probably see the famous Harry Potter in addition to being able to meet Lidley.
Just as Avon was tangled, his father stopped the car slowly and whispered, "Dear, we are here, No. 4, Nuwa Road!"
