2 Chapter 2: Andersons Family Past

Albert bent down and picked up the pale yellow envelope. It was an unstamped letter with a line written in emerald-green ink. He read it out softly:

"Tiber Avenue, No. 19, driveway, Mr. Albert Anderson."

When Albert read this text, he discovered that he actually triggered a mission:

The Wizarding Way.

You have the potential to become a wizard, but you are not yet qualified. Now you have a precious opportunity to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and become a student.

Reward: 10,000 experience, 2 skill points, and wizard bloodline +1.

'Wizard bloodline?'

Albert was stunned. 'What the hell is this.'

Two skill points are very tempting. He only needed 1 point to become a student of Eton College, and Albert has only got 3 skill points after saving up for so many years, and he is not willing to use them.

However, what's even worse is that this is the world of fiction.

The magical world in Harry Potter's novels?

Albert turned the envelope over and saw the Hogwarts coat of arms, with a capital "H" on it, surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

"Mom, did the zoo train owls to be postmen now?" Nia stared curiously at the owl staying nearby.

"Nia, I think no one will use owls to deliver letters. At least normal people don't, maybe, this is just a prank." Daisy looked at her husband, saw Herbert frowning, and asked: "What is it my dear, it's time for us to go out."

"Nothing, Albert, show me the letter." Herbert said softly.

"Oh, here." Albert gave the letter to his father.

"Honey!" Daisy was a little upset.

Hebert didn't pay attention to the displeasure on his wife's face. He quickly opened the envelope, took out the parchment and glanced at it, and said, "Children, it seems that our plan is going to be postponed."

"Dear Herbert, what happened? What's the content of the letter?" Daisy felt that her husband was a little abnormal, and her tone couldn't help getting worse.

"Dad, what's in the letter?" Nia couldn't help asking, but Albert, who received the letter, didn't respond much.

"Go back to the living room, Daisy." Herbert closed the car door heavily and returned to the living room with his family.

After the entrance door was closed, the owl delivering the letter still did not leave.

"Dear Herbert, you'd better give me a suitable explanation." Daisy looked angry, and she couldn't wait to see her son in Eton College uniform.

"Dad, what is the content of the letter, read it out for everyone, I also want to know who can predict where I appear." Albert's face didn't have many mood swings. Of course, he knew it. What's the matter with the letter? If he hasn't experienced the transmigration and game panel incidents, he might show a shocked expression after seeing the letter.

The first two times he was shocked and after he found himself living in the world of a novel. It doesn't seem too strange to think about it. What's more, he has read the best-seller Harry Potter and once wrote one fanfiction of it.

At that time, he checked a lot of information, and I still had some understanding of the worldview of this novel.

"Then I will read it." Herbert looked at his always calm son, and read the content on the parchment:

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of Wizards)

"Hogwarts... school!" Daisy stared in surprise because she had already guessed what it was... a letter of enrollment?

"Magic, is there really magic in this world?" Nia's face was filled with unconcealable excitement, "I also want to learn magic, I want to go to a magic school."

"Albert, let me go!" Nia looked at her brother dissatisfiedly. She was going to leaning over to read the letter, but Albert stopped her.

"Nia, let father finish reading the letter." Albert motioned to his father to continue reading the letter and took the angry mother to sit down by the way.

"Son, I will never let you go to Hogg..." Daisy was very angry. She thought her husband might know something.

Herbert coughed slightly and continued reading:

"Dear Mr. Anderson:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress"

Herbert finished reading the letter and then handed it to his son.

Albert glanced at it and handed it to his curious sister, then Nia took the letter and ran to her mother Daisy.

After studying the content of the letter sentence by sentence, Daisy said

"I would never agree to let Albert go to this kind of school. No, there must be someone playing on us. Maybe we should call the police right away and catch the pesky rascal."  

"Mom, did the owl waiting for you on the letter to let us write them back?" Nia said suddenly.

Daisy didn't speak but stared at her husband with oppressive eyes.

Albert asked, "Dad, do you know something?"

"I don't know." Herbert put his hand to his head and seemed to fall into a short memory: "When I was about the same age as you, my father, your grandfather, disappointed because we didn't receive a letter from Hogwarts."

"I once asked him what Hogwarts was, and he only said that it was a school."

"Later, when he was drunk, I asked why he wanted me to go to Hogwarts."

"He only said that he was a squib, but I don't know what that term means." Herbert's tone was very low, and he still remembered that time when his father cried.

"I think now I know what Hogwarts is. My father will be very happy to know that his grandson has received a letter from Hogwarts."

Of course, Albert knew what squib meant, but he didn't really think that he had something to do with a wizard.

In other words, there is no similar skill in his skill column, otherwise, he would have noticed it a long time ago.

"Yes, I should write to him, no, call, he will definitely be very happy!" Herbert suddenly said, as if planning to call his father.

"Hebert Anderson!" Daisy exclaimed, "Albert should go to Eton College. He will achieve something we can't imagine, instead of going to a school that we have never heard of, you know? This Concerning his future, I will never allow you..."

"Mom, we have not yet determined whether magic exists." Albert stretched out his hand to grab the mother who is raging, and softly comforted: "Isn't the letter saying that the owl waiting for you? Maybe, we should write a letter to each other, let Then someone from Hogwarts school came to prove whether there is magic, if they can't prove it, then it's a lie."

"Okay, son, I agree with you, and let the damn school prove the truth of this letter." Daisy clenched her fist and shook it vigorously. "Wait and see, I must call the police. Catch those crooks and let them squat in jail for a few years."
