Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 343: The cruel reality
In the next few days, the Delacour family and the Anderson family actually got together. The initial communication between the two sides was not smooth. Mr. Delacour used broken English and gestures to communicate with Herb.
Perhaps, it is the relationship of Veela blood, the Delacour family is very kind to ordinary people, somewhat similar to the Weasley family.
Mr. Delacour often brings his family to the resort for skiing. He has a good understanding of the surrounding area of the resort and introduced many special foods and interesting places to the Anderson family.
However, Nia's face has not been very good. Louise has been pestering Albert recently, and occasionally teases him, which is really annoying.
The two communicated in French again, leaving Nia completely speechless.
The Andersons found that their son had become a little strange, and in their communication with the Delacours, they had no idea that Albert would be so famous in the wizarding world.
The two couldn't help but worry about being famous when they were young.
Mr. Delacour understood this, and did not forget to comfort the Andersons, telling them that Albert was famous in the wizarding world, but only in academia.
Actually, Mr. Delacour also didn't understand why Albert was so famous, and he ultimately blamed it on Albert's connection with many famous wizards in the wizarding world.
Friends of academic bigwigs are usually not too bad.
If it is only one-sided, not many people will actually pay attention, but Albert is involved in a wide range of fields,
When these wizards communicated, they casually talked about Albert, and were surprised to find that they all knew this man.
There will be natural interest, exchange inquiries, gather information about Albert, and remember Albert as a genius.
The Andersons didn't stay at the resort until the end of the summer, and flew back to the UK at the end of July.
No way, Nia is about to go to school. Whether she goes to Hogwarts or another school in the future, she needs to prepare in advance.
The only thing that made Albert feel depressed was that after returning to the UK, the weather became more sultry. He was used to the comfortable low temperature of the resort, but when he returned home, he was a little uncomfortable with the high temperature in the UK.
The hot weather is irritating, especially after the approaching August, Nia's mood is getting more and more anxious, like a prisoner who is about to be sent to court, the letter from Hogwarts will be the final sentence for her.
Albert can understand Nia's anxiety, just like the college entrance examination in her previous life, that kind of anxiety and boredom is really bad, let alone an eleven-year-old child.
Even if Albert tried to appease her as much as possible, it could not change the girl's anxiety. Every time she saw an owl flying, Nia would always rush to get the letter, hoping to see the result as soon as possible.
Albert has to drop his vacation homework to focus more on Nia and try to distract her with other things.
"Would you like to play games!" Albert shook the game console in his hand, which was the Tetris console he asked Herb to buy.
Well, there's only one game in there.
Albert tried to use the game to distract Nia, but it didn't work very well.
"If you really can't wait to know the result, I can write to you and ask." Albert put the game console on the table, moved Tom who was lying beside him, and said calmly: "I Know the Vice-President of Hogwarts, and if you really can't wait, I can ask you about Professor McGonagall, the witch who came to us last time."
"Really?" Nia's eyes twinkled, but soon dimmed again, and Albert knew what Nia was afraid of.
"Of course you can. If you want to know!" Albert looked into Nia's eyes and said softly, "However, no matter what the outcome is, you must accept it and stop being angry."
"Yeah!" Nia nodded again and again.
Albert went back to the house for a quill and wrote a letter to Professor McGonagall.
After he finished writing the letter, he handed it to Nia, who took it and read it softly:
Dear Professor McGonagall:
My sister Nia Anderson has reached Hogwarts entry age and she has been struggling with this lately, can you tell me if she has been admitted to Hogwarts.
——Albert Anderson
"That's it?" Nia looked at Albert suspiciously, but she didn't expect the so-called question to be so simple.
"Professor McGonagall is the deputy dean and is responsible for handling the admissions of new students. It is the best way to ask her directly." Albert handed the letter to Sheila and explained to Nia.
"How long will it take."
Albert touched the girl's head and softly reassured, "Don't worry, there will be a reply soon."
Albert thinks that Professor McGonagall's reply will be sent along with the letter, and he is writing this letter purely to appease Nia.
"Okay, you can play the game console for a while. After school, this is the chance!" Albert put the game console into Nia's hand, went to the kitchen and poured her a glass of Coke, and put it in it. Two ice cubes.
He poured himself a glass too, took a gulp, and then pulled today's Daily Prophet from under Tom's ass.
Albert can't remember when Quirrell infiltrated Gringotts to steal the Philosopher's Stone.
However, he knows that as long as this happens, the Daily Prophet will definitely report it~IndoMTL.com~ Even if the goblin wants to hide it, it can't hide it from the reporters who always want to make big news.
The next morning, while the Andersons were having breakfast, Professor McGonagall's letter arrived, or Hogwarts' letter.
There is only one letter to Albert, and Professor McGonagall's reply is in that letter.
The smile on Nia's face disappeared in an instant, and tears filled her eyes, knowing that she had not been taken in by Hogwarts.
There is no doubt that she has no talent for magic.
Albert sighed softly, opened the envelope, found Professor McGonagall's reply letter, scanned the contents of the letter, and handed it to Nia.
The girl took the note tremblingly. After Herb and Daisy looked at each other, they both saw each other's relieved expressions.
"Okay, Nia, don't be sad, even if you can't go to Hogwarts, you can still go to other schools." Daisy took Nia in her arms and comforted softly, "From a long time ago, You already expected it, didn't you?"
Yes!
It's been known for a long time.
This reply just cut off Nia's last thought.
"Cry if you want to cry!" Albert patted Nia's back lightly and said softly, "After crying, you will feel better."
"Why, I just can't do it!" Nia was very unwilling, and she also wanted to go to Hogwarts and learn magic.
Yes!
Why?
This world has never been so-called fair.
It's so brutal.
Albert knew it and got used to it.
However, it is still so cruel to an eleven-year-old girl.
"Do you still remember our agreement?" Albert said after Nia finished crying, "In the future, help me manage things here, okay?"
