"Grandpa Luke, Grandma Sansa, we are here to see you!"
As soon as the car door was opened, Nia ran out of the car like the wind, opened her arms and threw herself into Luke's arms.
"Long time no see Nia, how have you been since school started?"
"No, school is so boring." Nia pouted and complained, "I want to go to Hogwarts."
"Nia is not old enough yet. She needs to wait another two years." Luke said something comforting and looked up at the Herberts. "Let's talk inside."
Sansa looked at her granddaughter and asked, "Niya, did you miss me?"
"Grandma Sansa, I missed you so much." Nia threw herself into the old woman's arms, causing Sansa to giggle.
"Albert sent something back by owl, and I think..." Herb was interrupted by Luke before he could finish his words.
Luke raised his head and looked around, then looked at the Herberts again and reminded them, "If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."
"Albert also sent us something by owl. I was just reading it." After entering the house, Sansa smiled and said to Herbert and his wife, "I never thought that the drinks that wizards drink would taste so strange."
"Don't leave your cat in the car." Luke turned around and reminded Herb.
"I have it with me." Daisy carried the cat cage into the house and closed the entrance door behind her.
In the living room, Sheila was resting on the table, eating the owl nuts that Albert had put in a box.
As soon as Tom was released from the cage, he jumped onto the table and glared at the owl. Both sides seemed ready for a fight.
"Hush, Tom." Daisy reached out, picked up Tom and put him on her lap.
"Are these also the things Albert sent back?" Herb put the big box on the table and his eyes fell on the opened box next to it.
"You don't know your son yet." Daisy glanced at Herb. "Even if you forget, he won't forget."
Albert has always been Daisy's pride!
What, other people's children are better
Nonsense, who said that.
No other people’s children are as good as your own children.
"But where did Albert buy these things? He doesn't go to that Hogwarts school or something." Sansa was puzzled. These things definitely weren't sold in school.
"It should be through Owl Mail." Herb knew very well how capable Albert was. It was not the first time he had shopped from Diagon Alley in London through Owl.
"Can I unpack the package?" Nia asked impatiently.
"Of course," Herb said with a smile.
The package was delivered this morning. However, after discussing with his family, Herb decided to share the joy with his parents, so they drove over in a hurry.
Inside the package was a rolled-up piece of parchment tied with a red ribbon, next to a paper bag with a photo on it, and underneath were a few bottles of drinks and some snacks.
Nia picked up the paper bag, opened it and found that it was full of photos taken by Albert, with sort numbers after the photos.
The first photo is of the red Hogwarts Express.
"Parchment and photos, there are also here." Sansa handed the pile of photos to Daisy, picked up the parchment and introduced, "Albert said this is the Hogwarts Express, used to pick up children to go to Hogwarts for school."
"I didn't expect wizards to ride steam locomotives to go to school?" Daisy picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. She couldn't help but complain, "You can't find such antiques in the whole UK."
Daisy handed the photo to her husband and took out a bottle of... pumpkin juice
"It looks like a drink." She opened the pumpkin-shaped lid on the glass bottle, poured some into the cup, and took a sip.
"How's it going?" Herb asked.
"It tastes a bit strange." Daisy poured the remaining pumpkin juice in the bottle into other cups and distributed them to other family members in the living room.
Nia took the cup, took a sip, and frowned slightly. "This juice tastes weird. It doesn't taste as good as the juice sold outside."
After Herb finished drinking it, he blinked and said, "It's not bad, but it tastes really weird."
"I almost forgot what this taste like." Luke sighed softly with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
Nia finished the pumpkin juice in her cup, pointed to the butterbeer in the box and said, "I want to drink this!"
"But this looks like... beer?" Daisy looked at the words "Butterbeer" on the label and felt a little confused. She didn't want her daughter to drink alcohol at this age.
"It's okay. We just drank this. It's not like beer, and it doesn't have much alcohol. It's more like a drink, otherwise Albert wouldn't have sent it back." Luke comforted him softly, "It tastes a bit like butter candy that's not so greasy."
Luke poured some of the freshly opened butterbeer to Herb and Daisy, asking them to taste it first and then decide whether to give it to Nia.
"It does have a strong buttery aroma," Daisy sniffed and took a sip, it tasted smooth.
"It says here that butterbeer is very popular in the wizarding world. It's like the soda here. It's not bad, but it tastes a bit weird."
"Why do wizards like to drink this kind of thing?" Nia pouted her lips and took another sip.
"Drink less, there's still a trace amount of alcohol in it," Daisy reminded.
"At least let me finish the butterbeer in the glass." After Nia drank the remaining butterbeer, her interest in the drinks in the wizarding world was greatly reduced.
"There's only a trace amount of alcohol in it. As long as you don't drink too much, it's okay even if it's a minor." Herb comforted him, but after being glared at by his wife, he shut up obediently. He knew that Daisy was very concerned about the education of their children.
The other items in the box were also taken out and placed on the table, and the rest were all snacks bought for Nia.
Nia opened the chocolate frog, took a bite, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Daisy untied the ribbon and handed the rolled-up parchment to Herb, asking him to read the contents of the letter.
This letter describes the Hogwarts castle in great detail.
From the freshmen crossing the lake to passing through the oak gate of Hogwarts Castle and stepping into the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony, this letter gradually reveals the secrets of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to them.
The roof is enchanted, the entrance to the kitchen below the hall is actually a fruit painting, and through the moving stairs, you can talk to the talking portrait in the corridor.
There are all kinds of magical secret passages in the castle, pranks on the stairs, ghosts living in the castle, walking knight armor, classrooms for classes, long corridors, and the gatekeeper of the Gryffindor lounge: the fat lady.
Enter the Gryffindor common room and take the stairs to the dormitory where they live with their three roommates.
This six-foot-long letter introduces Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to the Anderson family in detail. Combined with the map and photos taken, it makes people feel as if they have visited Hogwarts Castle in person.
Nia leaned on Daisy's shoulder and murmured, "I want to go too!"
