"Nia is not old enough yet." Herbert comforted her softly, "Before your twelfth birthday, Hogwarts School will send an owl to send Nia an admission letter, and you can go to the magic school."
"Do I look like a fool to you?" Nia pouted in dissatisfaction. "I know I have no talent for magic. Albert actually knew that a long time ago."
"How could that be?" Herb whispered.
"Of course not." Nia talked about what happened during the summer vacation.
The Ministry of Magic wrote the reason for the expulsion in Truman's letter: using the Levitation Charm in front of a Muggle in a Muggle community.
"There were only three of us in the park at that time. Truman was a wizard, and Albert was also a wizard. The Muggle in the letter naturally referred to me." As soon as she finished speaking, Nia started crying sadly.
Daisy sighed softly. She actually knew about this. Albert had told her about this possibility before going to Hogwarts.
But I didn’t expect Nia to discover it herself.
Daisy held her daughter in her arms, gently stroked her back, and whispered soothingly, "Okay, Nia, cry if you want to!"
"Nia, you have to know that wizards have their own fun, but Muggles also have their own fun. For example, there is no TV in the wizarding world, no cartoons or movies that you like, and before going to school, there are not even many 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 seemed to sense that Nia was in a bad mood. He jumped into Nia's arms and rubbed her clothes with his head.
"Although I feel a little regretful for not being able to go to Hogwarts, I don't regret being a Muggle. The Muggle world is just as wonderful." Luke stroked Nia's hair and said, "Okay, stop crying. Eat a piece of chocolate. You're almost crying like a big cat."
"Nia, don't you want to see what gift Albert bought you?" Herb picked up the animal voice-changing candy and shook it next to his ear.
"Nia, can't you now experience the fun of the wizarding world?" Daisy consoled her. "Why don't you give it a try? Albert mentioned in his letter that eating this candy can make you make the sounds of other animals."
"If Nia doesn't want to eat it, then I will." Herb opened the box, threw the candy into his mouth, chewed it, and then opened his mouth and let out a lion's roar.
"Meow!"
Tom was frightened and jumped off Nia's body, dived under the sofa and never came out.
After a moment of dead silence, everyone in the living room looked at Herber who roared like a lion again.
Herb quickly covered his mouth with his hand and pointed awkwardly at the box of animal voice-changing candies.
"I want some too." The girl was immediately distracted by the animal voice-changing candy and reached out to Herb.
"Nia, Albert said that these things cannot be taken out and let others know." Daisy did not forget to warn, "The magic world seems to need to strictly keep secrets and not let ordinary people know about 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 and her little face suddenly turned red, with hot air coming out of her ears.
"Don't we know now?" Herb asked doubtfully.
Daisy said, "Muggle families of Muggle-born wizards are allowed to know about the wizarding world, but they need to keep it strictly secret."
"How do you know? Did Albert write it in his letter?"
"Not that one, this one." Daisy handed her husband another folded letter, this one addressed to them and Nia.
Herb looked up and said to Luke, "Dad, look for it too. Albert should have written to you as well."
"Here's the letter." Sansa pulled out a piece of parchment from the bottom of the box, opened it and looked at it before handing it to Luke.
"What did Albert's letter say?" Nia asked.
"He asked you to take good care of Tom, give him the right amount of food every day, and don't let the cat get too fat. Also, make more friends at school and don't let others bully you." Herb put the letter on the paper, looked up and saw Luke's strangeness, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Luke sighed softly.
Sansa read the contents of the letter. At the end of the letter, there was a mention of a man named Filch, who worked as an administrator at Hogwarts and was a Squib.
It was not difficult for Luke to tell from the letter that Mr. Filch was not happy in Hogwarts.
How can a person who likes to go against students, make trouble for students, and often gets angry because of naughty students be happy
Filch could only keep his cat as a companion, could only use a mop to clean stains, and lived among a group of naughty little wizards all day long. He watched others use magic but could not use it himself.
Luke really couldn't think of any reason why Filch could be happy.
For a magic school like Hogwarts, Filch is an dispensable person. Any wizard who knows magic can definitely do better than him.
Luke did not sympathize with Filch because that was his choice, and Filch was undoubtedly lucky because the headmaster of Hogwarts took him in. Otherwise, a Squib ignored by the wizarding world would hardly be able to find any job.
No wizard would hire a useless person.
To this day, Luke still believes that since he is a Squib, there is nothing wrong with just living in the Muggle world, learning some Muggle skills, and becoming a qualified Muggle.
Why should I stay in the wizarding world and be a Squib that everyone hates
Although Luke knew that what those people did might be right, he never forgave them and was completely cut off from them.
Compared with Filch, Luke felt that he was more fortunate. He had his own family, his own daughter-in-law, and two lovely grandchildren.
Live a happy and fulfilling life.
Looking at the photo of six people and a cat, Luke showed a faint smile on his face.
"Grandpa Luke, what are you laughing at?" Nia asked curiously.
"Grandpa feels very lucky." Luke folded the letter and said with a smile, "Come, I'll blow bubbles for you."
In the box, Albert also put a box of Blowing Treasure Super Bubble Gum for the old man.
"Albert didn't prepare it for me."
"This is actually for Nia." Luke smiled. In fact, he understood why Albert sent him the Super Bubble Gum.
Luke handed the Super Bubble Gum to Nia, and took one for himself, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, then blew out a string of bluebell-colored bubbles from his mouth like blowing bubbles. The bubbles floated in the hall and would not burst even if they hit objects.
Nia also learned to blow bubbles, her face full of smiles. She seemed to have forgotten that she was sad about not being able to go to Hogwarts.
