The happiness of HP

The two children looked at each other for a while, and opened the letter curiously. The simplicity of this letter made the two children Apollo and Artemis not annoying, but who sent it?However, since it can be delivered to the door of the house, it means that the letter is safe.You must know that a certain father who was worried but had to leave set up various protective spells before leaving, and any malicious letters could not be sent into the protective layer.Therefore, the children's trust in their father prevented them from casting the detection spell.

The children got together to unfold the letter, only to see that the letter was in English, and at the beginning of the letter was written in beautiful dark green ink in cursive script; "HOGWARTS-SCHOOL-OF-WITCHCRAFT-AND-WIZARDRY (Hogwarts School of Magic)".

"Hogwarts? Al, have you heard of it?" Apollo looked at the letter in front of him. Although he didn't hate it, his father never said it.

"I seem to have heard my father say this name in his sleep. Let's wait to find the book. Since it is a magic school, there will be no trace. Let's see what is written here." Arte Miss said.

Apollo agreed with his sister.So the two children got together and watched——

"Huh? There are also Dad's books as textbooks." Artemis said.

Speaking of "Star Atlas" is not well-known among Jeremy's works, but it is a rare masterpiece from the perspective of a wizard's astronomy enlightenment book. When living in the wild, he took the children to look at the stars and wrote some short stories about the stars and the miscellaneous feelings about the stars' identification. Xinbo praised them very much, so he published them in this way, and it has been 4 years since then.Of course, compared to the three eye-opening books "Ode to Ancient Witches", "A Brief Discussion on Ancient Mayan Art" and "Discussion on Folk Remedies", "Star Map" is easier to forget.

"However, if you only look at these textbooks, this school has a wider range of teaching." Apollo analyzed, "The design of the curriculum is also more diverse."

"Well, I have seen the introduction of the "Standard Spells" series in some catalogs. Ms. Goshak is the most authoritative spell caster in the past 300 years. Compared with Lance Judith's "Spell Guide", it is more practical , As for Mr. Delacour's "Spell" series, it has been left behind by several streets." Artemis is a little bookworm, she usually likes catalog books the most, read a The information from many books could have been obtained, "But, brother, what kind of school is Hogwarts, we still need to evaluate it carefully."

"Yes, we should look for a dictionary, or the directory you brought back from the bookstore last time." Apollo reminded his sister.

"Oh, don't tell me, I really forgot!" Artemis suddenly became excited.

"What's the matter?" Apollo saw a huge book coming down from upstairs like a rocket, "Summary Collection of Papers of the Monthly Magazine of Potion Master".

"I started reading it for fun a few days ago. Yesterday, I saw a paper." Artemis cursed and flipped the book in front of them, then stopped on a certain page, "Look, this one." The girl pointed to the one in the middle.

"On the Inhibitors of Wolfbane".The title was written on that page in bold, large letters.

"What's wrong?" Apollo was a little puzzled.

"Look here—" Artemis pointed to the author's name under the prominent title, "Severus Snape."

"Oh, the headmaster of Hogwarts is a master of potions?" Apollo said in surprise, and then took a quick look at the paper. "Oh, that's an amazing talent."

"Yes." Artemis narrowed his green eyes slightly, "Then, brother, we don't have much time, let's find out which school is the best together."

"But Dad said we should go to Durmstrang..." Apollo hesitated.

"Brother, Dad always said we deserve the best, don't we? Besides, Dad definitely wants us to get the best education." Artemis is a perfectionist, and she doesn't want to miss a more perfect choice.

Apollo thought for a while, but nodded. He also felt that he should know where he was going.He believes that his father's choice is the most suitable, but what they want is the best education to live up to his father's love.If there were only two schools, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, they would go to Durmstrang at Papa's advice.But now, there are three schools in front of them, so which school can provide the best quality education?Which school would teach them more useful things?Which school graduates are more capable?They need an answer.

And in their young life experience, they know that the answer needs to be found by themselves, and the book that can help them objectively is the book!

England, Hogwarts

"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the office door on the eighth floor.

"Come in, Severus," said Professor McGonagall from the inside.

Severus pushed the door open and walked into the office, seeing Professor McGonagall coming out from behind his desk.After the two greeted each other briefly, they sat down on the sofa used for receiving guests.

"How about the cellar? Do you want to come up and use this office?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"My office is pretty well kept, and the house-elves clean it regularly, so I don't want to come out in the sun just yet," Severus said.

"Okay, Severus, what do you want to talk to me about?" Professor McGonagall ordered the elf two cups of black tea.

"Minerva, then I'll get straight to the point. I want you to be able to teach first grade. I don't think Mr. Breibnitz KGB is a good first-year professor." Severus was rare to get right to the point.

"Severus..." Professor McGonagall was taken aback for a moment, but in the next second he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "I see, then I will hand over the fourth grade course. CBS's I'm sure you've heard about it."

"Hmm." Severus didn't deny this, "I'm surprised, Minerva, you're not Albus."

"Sorry, Severus. I didn't handle Gryffindor well." Professor McGonagall was a little ashamed that CBS was created by her.But what can be done?At that time, Severus was in Azkaban, and she managed Gryffindor while taking care of school affairs. When she was busy with school affairs, she forgot to pay attention to Gryffindor's dynamics...

"You shouldn't have said sorry to me." Severus said, "One of the three founders of CBS was away from home, one entered the Ministry of Magic, and the other stayed at Hogwarts. Minerva, at least Abu Si isn't stupid enough to keep the Dark Lord teaching at Hogwarts."

"It was Albus who said that at least one person was left for observation..." Professor McGonagall confessed to the accomplice.

"Ah, how can I compliment Gryffindor's IQ?" Severus sarcastically said, "Also, Albus is just a portrait now!"

Professor McGonagall smiled wryly, and glanced at Dumbledore's empty picture frame - no wonder Albus disappeared immediately when he heard that Severus was coming at noon.

The two drank some tea again, and then Professor McGonagall seemed to remember something, snapped his fingers, and a picture book flew over from the table.Professor McGonagall said to Severus: "Severus, this is what the preparation team of the Ambucia Fair asked me to hand over to you."

"What?" Severus asked.

"The information of the adventurers of the Adventurer's Guild. Every potion master has a copy." Professor McGonagall explained.

"Oh." Severus knew that this was a brochure, and this version for potions masters would have more detailed information than usual, because this was the first criterion for potions masters to judge an adventurer's ability.However, he didn't want to look through it, anyway, he didn't have the gallon at his disposal to buy the precious materials in the hands of adventurers, even though he coveted those materials very much.

Munich Germany

"Brother, listen to this." Artemis pointed to a passage in an ancient book with thick bricks and yellow pages, "Hogwarts has the longest history among the three major schools of magic in Europe. It has The beautiful campus, the mysterious castle, is full of family atmosphere. It has four colleges - Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Students from the four colleges Gryffindor is proud of bravery, Slytherin is perfection, Ravenclaw is wisdom, and Hufflepuff is hard work. The graduates of the four houses have their own distinctive characteristics."

"Well, listen to this, Al." Apollo said, "...this book was published 300 years ago, so if you count it, the founder of Beauxbatons graduated from Durmstrang, Germany 500 years ago. The founder of Armstrong graduated from Hogwarts 800 years ago..."

……

The two children browsed through all kinds of books. Most of the books at home were ancient books that Mr. Asaplet bought back, and the most recent ones were published 200 years ago.After they rummaged through all the books that mentioned Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts, they made an amazing decision——

Ditch Beauxbatons and Durmstrang for Hogwarts.

Dad said: They are dad and father's babies, everything about them deserves the best, don't hurt yourself.

Among the three schools of Beauxbaton, Durmstrang and Hogwarts, Hogwarts is the best in terms of history, school-running philosophy, faculty over the years, and achievements of graduates over the years.At least that was the case 200 years ago, so after 200 years, they have reason to believe that everything can only be better, not worse, isn't it?

Just look at the book list, Hogwarts courses are obviously more diverse.Allowing students to experience all aspects of magic as soon as they enter the school, and then leaving students with choices - that's good.

Artemis is a little bookworm. When she thought of Hogwarts' 1000-year history, she thought of how much more good things would be collected in a 1000-year library than in an 800-year library.At the same time, she is also a perfectionist. Since there are better and more perfect choices, why choose the poor one?

And Apollo sat quietly behind the desk and put his fingers into a tower shape, his green eyes flashed with light of thinking——

Dad never mentioned Hogwarts, but he talked about it in his dream. So, it's not that he doesn't know about Hogwarts. Why did he choose Durmster for himself and his sister? Lang?Dad always mentions "war" in occasional words, and even, father is a "double agent" who provides information for the righteous side in "war", so, what is it that makes Dad leave his hometown for more than ten years and never return? U.K?Dad always regrets that he only knew one disarming spell back then, and didn't do more, but Dad was only 16 or 7 years old, so what else should he do?Half a month ago, when my father told them all about his father, he went through all the things his father had done, but wasn't his father a "double agent"?Why does Dad know so much in detail?Even though he was his father's partner, if he didn't have a certain identity in the war, I believe his father would not have dared to reveal it to him, right?So what kind of role can a 16 or 7-year-old boy who knows only one Disarming Curse play in a war?

Dad never talked about his past, but that didn't mean he and his sister weren't curious.They dare not ask their father, so the best way is to find the answer by themselves.Hogwarts is obviously where all the answers begin.
