Hogwarts Crawler

"Dad! Why have I never heard of this?"

Adam's grandparents were also very active. They went directly through the international channel of the Ministry of Magic and arrived at Adam's house before lunch.

Ms. Li, who had been popularized about the wizarding world by the old Reed couple during this period, was furious as soon as her parents arrived.

Although her husband did not come into contact with the wizarding world later and regarded wizards as fairy tales, he had heard about it before he was sure that Hogwarts had not sent an admission letter.

Why did she know nothing about this from childhood to adulthood?

Adam's grandmother was talking to Adam about family matters, so she had to ask her old father.

"The way we judge whether a child has the potential to practice is different from that in the UK. When we do the Zhou-Zhua ceremony for a child, we will mix spiritual objects with the Zhou-Zhua items. If a child has a talent for practice, he will naturally be attracted to spiritual objects."

Adam's grandfather spread his hands:

"When you held the golden abacus and refused to let go, and didn't even look at the wooden sword, copper coins and jade pendants next to it, we knew you didn't have the talent for practice - but you do have a talent for business. You are the best at making money among your siblings."

Ms. Li choked, then frowned and asked:

"What about Adam? Although he was born in the UK, didn't you also do the Zhou-Zhua ceremony for him when he was a child? Didn't you put that... spiritual object?"

"Yes, but he grabbed a book without spiritual energy. Facts have proved that he is really good at studying. Unlike when you were a child, we had to catch you from a tree to read a book..."

"Dad!"

Ms. Li's cheeks were slightly red.

"Ahem, I clearly remember that book didn't have any spiritual energy, so Adam shouldn't have any talent for cultivation, right? Is the standard different here in the UK from ours?"

Li Ziquan touched his beard, and suddenly wondered if those people in his family who were considered to have no talent for cultivation were also left out.

"It's not impossible..."

"Anyway, it's a good thing that Adam received the admission letter from Hogwarts, which shows that Adam has the talent to become a wizard."

Old Reed clapped his hands and looked at Adam:

"Grandpa will take you to Diagon Alley to buy the things you need to prepare tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow or..."

"Grandpa..."

"Grandma too..."

"Wait a minute!"

Adam suddenly raised his voice, quieting the noisy room for a while.

"I don't want to go to Hogwarts to study."

Hearing this, regardless of what the four old people thought, Adam's parents first remembered the original purpose of their return home.

"What?! Why?"

Before the couple could figure it out, Old Reed's voice interrupted their thoughts:

"Do you want to be a Muggle forever?"

The old wizard took out his wand and wanted to show it to his grandson.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a Muggle."

Adam glanced at his parents quickly:

"And I just don't want to go to Hogwarts. There should be other schools in the world where you can learn magic, right?"

"Why?!"

Old Reed was even more surprised, and even a little aggrieved in his voice:

"Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world!"

The other three old men who did not graduate from Hogwarts looked at Old Reed at the same time.

"Don't be so startled, you'll scare the child."

Grandma Emma moved her fingers, and Old Reed was pulled by his belt and sat down on the sofa with a "bang". Then Emma held Adam's hand:

"Child, there is indeed more than one magic school in the world, Hogwarts, but why don't you want to study in Hogwarts?"

"Well..."

Adam hesitated and said:

"Because I have a bad feeling that Hogwarts is not very safe."

"With Dumbledore here, Hogwarts is the safest magic school in the world, woo woo woo--"

The scarf seemed to come alive and blocked Old Reed's mouth directly. Emma frowned and turned her head:

"Shut up, if Dumbledore was omnipotent, our family wouldn't have to go to China."

Adam's grandmother Emma was originally French. After encountering the terrorist attack organized by Grindelwald in France, she moved to the UK where Dumbledore was, and met Old Reed in the UK.

After they got married and had children, they encountered the rise of Voldemort. For the safety of their squib son, they moved to China. Adam's parents also met at that time.

She could clearly realize that even if Dumbledore could eventually solve the crisis, it did not mean that Dumbledore could guarantee that no one would die in the crisis.

At the same time, she did not ignore her grandson's premonition. Adam was very smart since he was a child and would not talk nonsense casually., and wizards have a strong premonition of something in the future... It's not without precedent.

Grindelwald, who destroyed her original home, was a wizard with a gift for prophecy.

However, despite this, Emma frowned and said:

"The decision of the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance is irreversible. There is extremely ancient and powerful magic on it. Since you received a letter from Hogwarts, it means that your name was written when you were just born. It is probably unlikely that you want to go to other magic schools."

Adam was stunned. He didn't expect this.

"What about transferring? I can enroll first but not study, and transfer directly to other magic schools."

"I haven't heard of a precedent for this, but we can write to Dumbledore to ask, he is your future principal."

Although he said so, looking at his grandmother's face, Adam knew that this way was unlikely to work. It seems that the magic on the Book of Admission should not be so easy to fool.

"Then take a leave of absence? Just say I'm not in good health, and wait a few years..."

"That's even worse. If you don't guide the power in your body correctly at the right age, your body will be damaged and may attract some bad things."

Seemingly seeing that Emma couldn't bear to dispel Adam's hope, Grandma Shen Derong took over the conversation and looked at Emma again.

"That's right. Little wizards don't know how to control magic. Magic riots may occur, which is very dangerous. We can't teach you these safely and comprehensively at home."

"... Oh, okay."

Adam sighed and had to accept the fact that he seemed to really have to go to Hogwarts.

But the good news is that as long as he learns the spell, he can control magic. It should be feasible to apply for a leave of absence after finishing the first year.

And the first year of Hogwarts is actually relatively safe. As long as you avoid the trap door, Professor Quirrell is still safe. The Weasley twins didn't get hurt even if they covered Voldemort with snowballs.

"In that case, let's not send a letter to Mr. Dumbledore."

If he can't change the status quo and still attract Dumbledore's attention, Adam might encounter some dangers that he would not have encountered otherwise.

"Well, let's write a reply to Hogwarts. Tomorrow we will take you to Diagon Alley. There are many magical things there. You will like it."

Emma touched Adam's head and looked at the worry on her grandson's face, and made a decision secretly.
