A day at Hogwarts

Jack Smith looks to be in his sixties and looks a bit like Sean Connery. When he ran for parliament, almost all female voters over the age of 45 in the constituency voted for him.

He was not surprised when he saw Dumbledore in robes and a long beard when he entered the living room, and asked, "Which troupe are you from?"

Dumbledore was no stranger to such questions, and replied kindly: "Mr. Smith, I am Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am here to invite Charles Smith to study at Hogwarts." .”

"Maybe you don't know, Charles is a wizard, not the kind of magician who can juggle, but a real wizard who can master magic."

Jack sat down beside Charles, and said with an unchanged expression: "Charles is a smart boy, he has always been the top in Long Primary School in Oxfordshire, I think he can go to Eton, Harrow or Westminster Go to special high school instead of going to be an actor."

"There are many intersections on the road of life, and it's not that we old people think which road is right, this road is suitable for young people."

"If Charles himself is willing to devote himself to acting, I will support his choice."

Seeing that he still considered himself an actor, Dumbledore took out his wand, smiled and said, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

With the wave of the wand, a clean teacup and saucer flew from the cupboard to the table, the teapot flew over to pour tea into the cup by itself, and then the cup and saucer flew to Jack with the teacup in hand.

Jack stared at the teacup for a long time, then stretched out his hand to feel around and found that there was no rope hanging on it. He said in surprise, "Is there really magic in this world?"

At this moment Charles yelled: "Just now this gentleman said that there is a Dark Lord named Vol...what's the matter, this person seems to have killed Mrs. Dursley's sister, that is, Harry's mother."

Old Jack frowned when he heard that, and immediately asked a series of questions: "Is that so? Could it be that the Dursleys are also... wizards? Will the devil from Africa come to seek revenge? Should we call the police?"

Dumbledore is very experienced in such questions, and patiently answered him in a way that Muggles can understand. The Dursleys are not wizards, but Petunia's sister and nephew are; the Dark Lord is not black, and his ancestors have eighteen generations They are all British. The Dark Lord means the devil who uses black magic. He went to the streets 10 years ago;

Then he explained what Hogwarts was all about, and with a flick of his wand turned the teacup Petunia was using just now into a pigeon scurrying about in the living room.

After listening, Jack took a sip of tea and asked Old Deng, "How many people did the Dark Lord you mentioned kill?"

Dumbledore replied: "More than a hundred."

Jack then asked, "One morning?"

Dumbledore quickly shook his head and replied, "That's all."

"That's all." Jack finally asked, "How much is the tuition?"

Dumbledore was taken aback, and replied: "Hogwarts is funded by the board of directors. Students do not need tuition fees. They only need to buy their own robes, textbooks and some utensils used in class."

Jack was silent for a moment, then turned to Charles and asked, "What do you think?"

Charles is a little hesitant. He has no ambitions and has plans for the future. After graduating from university here, Run returns to China as a foreign teacher, and buys a house, buys a house, and buys a house at the same time.

But that's Hogwarts, so it would be a pity not to see it.

Finally Charles said, "Okay, I'll go."

Dumbledore laughed, stretched out his right hand and said to Charles: "On behalf of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I would like to welcome you to join me. I believe you will have a wonderful time at Hogwarts."

Charles reached out to shake his hand too, and let go after half a second, looking terrified of him.

Dumbledore left, and he was going to explain to the next new Muggle-born family, but he didn't care about the Dursleys across the door.

After confirming that Lao Deng left, Charles sat on the sofa and said to Jack with a smile: "You will definitely win an Oscar if you go to make a movie."

Jack snapped his fingers, and said, "Go and turn off the water and electricity, and we'll leave later."

While talking, several suitcases floated over from the stairs and stopped behind the gate by themselves.

Charles asked strangely, "Where are we going?"

"The seaside villa." Jack said seriously, "The real Hogwarts is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will die. When I went to school for the first time, the carriage I was riding in was attacked by a dragon, and I had to kill at least 8 people on the way to class. "

"While there is still time, I will teach you some self-defense magic."

Charles' eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Are you willing to buy me a wand?"

As a result, Jack's answer made him very depressed: "Use my wand first."

Charles wanted to struggle again, so he said, "It's inconvenient for you to use without a wand."

Jack stood up, and with a wave of his hand, the tea set, watermelon and watermelon knife on the table disappeared, and he said calmly, "Wand is such an inconvenient thing."

Charles was speechless.

Old Jack has lived for more than a hundred years and has no experience in raising children. When he picked him up, he used Legilimency to find out whether he was hungry or needed to defecate. As a result, he saw part of his memory, and later he would Playing tricks.

I was angry for a long time because of this, and finally the old Jack agreed to teach himself magic to calm down.

The two pretended to move the suitcase to the Rolls-Royce, and then Jack drove.

Charles found something wrong with the destination of the car on the way, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't we going to the beach house? How did we enter the city of London?"

Jack asked back, "Did you forget what day it is?"

Charles had question marks in his head and couldn't figure it out. When he went to France a while ago, the old man seemed to arrange his itinerary according to what he had to do today.

"Did you forget?" Jack said quietly. "Today is your day to go to the dentist."

Charles broke out in cold sweat all of a sudden, and said hurriedly: "I brush my teeth well every day, so I don't need to go to the dentist!"

Jack said to him very seriously: "I heard some ladies say that drinking happy water often can damage your teeth. You should check it carefully if you drink so much."

"Besides, your classmate is very happy to see you. Aren't you just as happy to see her?"

"By the way, are you interested in her?"

Charles said with black lines: "Don't make trouble, this kind of talk will cause trouble for girls. She and I are just pure classmates. You should know that I like the kind of body that is particularly good."

Jack said indifferently: "So what if you don't have a good figure, it's a matter of body transfiguration."

"Okay, let me buy you a new computer. You can use it when you come back from vacation. Don't you always say that being a wizard is worse than enjoying blessings."

"I can't see that Jack by the West Lake can do such a big thing in the future."

"Alas... wizards are behind."

In the end, he looked a little sad.

It was the first time Charles saw him like this, so he asked, "When...when did you have the idea that wizards are behind?"

"July 21, 1969," Jack replied in a low voice, "22 years have passed since the first Muggle landed on the moon."

Charles asked him again: "Isn't it difficult for you to use Apparatus or a Portkey to go to the moon?"

Jack didn't answer, just said: "You will know after you learn."

"If you can learn the spells I taught you well before going to Hogwarts, I'll show you my memory at Hogwarts, and we'll be even."

Seeing that he changed the subject, Charles stopped worrying about landing on the moon with magic. He pouted and said, "I want to see your memory of traveling around the world."

Jack said: "The world is so big, I want to see it myself."

While talking, the two came to the door of the dental clinic.

The good news is that the clinic is closed with a temporary busy sign.
