Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 69: Lucky Luke
"Nia is not old enough." Herb comforted softly, "Before your twelfth birthday, Hogwarts School will let the owl send Nia an admission notice, and you can go to magic. School starts."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Nia pouted in dissatisfaction, "I know I don't have a talent for magic, and Albert already knew that."
"How come?" Herb whispered.
"Why not." Nia talked about what happened during the summer vacation.
The Ministry of Magic wrote in Truman's letter the reason for his expulsion: Using a Levitation Charm in the presence of a Muggle in the Muggle community.
"At that time, there were only the three of us in the park. Truman was a wizard, and Albert was also a wizard. The Muggle in the letter naturally referred to me." As soon as the words fell, Nia began to cry sadly.
Daisy sighed softly. She actually knew about this. Albert told her about this possibility before going to Hogwarts.
But, I didn't expect Nia to find out by herself.
Daisy took her daughter in her arms, stroked her back gently, and comforted her softly, "Okay, Nia, cry if you want!"
"Nia, you have to know that wizards have the fun of wizards, but Muggles also have the fun of belonging to Muggles, like the wizarding world, there is no TV, no anime, movies you like, and nothing until you go to school. Friends." Luke said calmly, "It's actually good not to stay in the wizarding world, at least that's what Grandpa thinks."
"But..." Nia choked a little, "but I want to go to Hogwarts."
Tom also seemed to feel that Nia was in a bad mood, jumped into Nia's arms, and rubbed her head against her clothes.
"Although I regret not being able to go to Hogwarts, I don't regret being a Muggle, and the Muggle world is just as exciting." Luke stroked Nia's hair and said, "Okay, don't. Cry, eat a piece of chocolate, you are about to cry into a tabby cat."
"Nia, don't you want to see what gift Albert bought for you?" Herb picked up the animal voice changer and shook it in his ear.
"Can't Nia also experience the fun of the magic world now?" Daisy comforted, "Would you like to try it, Albert mentioned in the letter that eating this candy can send out other animal's sound."
"If Nia doesn't eat it, then I'll eat it." Herb opened the box, threw the candy into his mouth, chewed it, and let out a lion's roar.
"Meow!"
Tom was frightened, jumped off Nia's body, got under the sofa, and didn't come out.
After a moment of dead silence, everyone in the living room turned to look at Herb, who let out another roar.
Heb hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, raised his finger embarrassedly and pointed to the box of animal voice-changing candies.
"I want to eat it too." The girl was immediately distracted by the animal voice-changing candy, and reached out to Herb.
"Nia, Albert said, these things can't be taken out to let others know." Daisy did not forget to warn, "It seems that the magic world needs to strictly keep secrets, so that ordinary people don't know the existence of the magic world. "
"Got it!" Nia took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her cheeks. She ate an animal voice-changing candy, her face flushed red, and heat came out of her ears.
"Don't we know?" Herb asked suspiciously.
Daisy said, "Muggle families born to Muggle wizards are allowed to know the wizarding world, but they need to keep it strictly secret."
"How do you know that Albert's letter is written?"
"It's not that one, it's this one." Daisy handed another folded letter to her husband, this one for them and Nia.
Heb looked up and said to Luke, "Dad, you look for it too. Albert should have written to you too."
"Here's the letter." Sansa took out a piece of parchment from the bottom of the box, opened it, looked at it, and handed it to Luke.
"What did Albert's letter say?" Nia asked.
"He asked you to take good care of Tom, eat the right amount of food every day, and don't let the cat eat too fat. Also, make more friends when you go to school, so don't let people bully you." Herb and the letter, Looking up and seeing Luke's strangeness, he asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's the matter with you?"
"Nothing!" Luke sighed softly.
Sansa had read the letter, and at the end of the letter, she mentioned a man named Filch, who was a Squib at Hogwarts as a caretaker.
Luke can easily see from the letter that Mr. Filch's life at Hogwarts was not a happy one.
How can a person who likes to fight against students all day long, like to make trouble with students, and is often angry with mischievous students, how can he be happy?
Since Filch can only be with his own cat, can only use a mop to clean up stains, and live in the environment of a group of naughty little wizards all day, watching others use magic, but he can't use it .
Luke couldn't think of a reason for Filch to be happy.
For a school of magic like Hogwarts, Filch is a dispensable person, and any wizard who understands magic can certainly do better than him.
Luke doesn't sympathize with Filch, because it was the other party's choice, and Filch is undoubtedly lucky ~IndoMTL.com~ because the headmaster of Hogwarts took him in, otherwise the Squib ignored by the wizarding world , almost impossible to find any jobs.
No wizard hires a worthless person.
To this day, Luke still believes that since he is a Squib, there is nothing wrong with living in the Muggle world, learning some Muggle skills, and being a qualified Muggle.
Why stay in the wizarding world and be a disgusting Squib?
While Luke knew those people might be right, he never forgave them, he was completely cut off from them.
Compared to Filch, Luke considers himself more fortunate. He has his own family, his own daughter-in-law, and two lovely grandchildren.
I live a happy life.
Looking at the six people and one cat in the photo, Luke had a faint smile on his face.
"Grandpa Luke, what are you laughing at?" Nia asked curiously.
"Does Grandpa feel lucky?" Luke folded the letter and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll blow bubbles for you."
In the box, Albert also gave the old man a box of Super Bubble Gum.
"Albert didn't prepare it for me."
"This is actually for Nia." Luke smiled, in fact he understood why Albert sent Bubble Super Bubble Gum to himself.
Luke handed the Bubble Super Bubble Gum to Nia, took one apart for himself, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly, and then blew a bunch of bluebell-colored gums out of his mouth like a bubble. bubbles. The bubbles floated in the hall, even if they touched objects, they would not burst.
Nia is also learning to blow bubbles, her face is full of smiles, she seems to have forgotten, she was just sad about not being able to go to Hogwarts.
