No one knew how Luke comforted Nia and helped his grumpy granddaughter to recover.
Over the next few days, Herb and Daisy went back to work, while Albert and Nia stayed on Charles Street for the summer vacation.
Albert would share the contents of the history of magic and other books with the two old men and perform the magic he had mastered in front of them. He also spent a sum of Galleons to order a set of wizard chess from Vizeacre and studied how to play chess with Nick.
At first, Nia was intimidated by Wizard Chess, but she quickly grew to love the game.
Of course, the result was that no one wanted to play chess with Albert anymore, because his chess skills were clearly superior to everyone else's.
Wizard chess is actually the same as chess, but its pieces are alive, and you usually need to give commands to control the pieces, which is more like commanding an army into battle.
If you reach out to grab it, the chess piece will stab your hand with its weapon.
Of course, ordinary people can also use them, but they cannot dispatch them well. The chess pieces seem to have self-awareness, always complaining and saying things like "Do you know how to play chess? Don't send me there, send a pawn there, it doesn't matter if it is sacrificed."
Albert's learning progress was very fast. During this period, he also completed the "Luke's Regret" mission and gained 1,500 experience points.
His experience pool had accumulated to 30,000 again. Although it seemed to have a lot of experience, it was actually not enough to last.
The higher the skill level, the more difficult it is to upgrade the skill. In the later stages, you can only consume experience pools or skill points to upgrade.
"Albert, are you sure this leaf will float?" Nia kept looking at the leaf, but it didn't respond.
"I think the gesture is wrong." Albert was a little depressed. When casting a spell, the movement of the wrist is also very important. Sometimes a wrong movement or incorrect chanting of the spell may cause the magic to fail. This is a mistake that beginners often make.
With no one to teach him, he could only figure it out on his own, or use the experience in the experience pool to upgrade the skill to level 1 and master it directly.
Albert would choose the former, and would only consider the latter when he really couldn't master it. He didn't care much about a levitation spell, and it wasn't too difficult to master this kind of spell.
"It turns out that magic is not that easy to learn." Nia admired Albert's patience a little. At least she didn't have that much patience to use on this.
"Of course, this is just like learning math. You need to take it step by step." Albert pushed his sister on the swing and comforted her casually, "Don't give up until the end."
"Hate it! It's that kind of comforting words again. I'm tired of hearing them." Nia pouted, but was still very happy.
In fact, Nia guessed that she might not really have the talent to become a wizard. After talking to her grandfather last time, she no longer cared so much about it.
When there were fewer people in the park, Albert tried the levitation spell again. This time, he succeeded. After reciting Wingardium Leviosa, the leaves successfully floated into the air.
At this time, Albert noticed that someone was looking at this side, so he put away his wand, followed his feeling and looked over, staring at the guy who was looking over here, who was a teenager slightly older than him.
"What's the matter?" Albert raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy and asked. Albert was not afraid of the other party picking a fight. His karate was upgraded to level 2. Even without using a magic wand, he could knock down an ordinary person.
Albert learned karate when he was eight years old. It was designed to target those naughty kids who liked to make trouble. Especially after he beat three kids and made them cry at school last time, everyone in the school knew that Albert Anderson knew karate and was very good at it.
For this, Daisy was called to school by her teacher and scolded, but she still stood firmly on Albert's side and even called her husband.
The couple made full use of their talents as lawyers and left everyone speechless.
There's no way. All three kids are older than Albert. How dare you cry to the teacher when you can't beat them
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
It was also at that time that Albert officially accepted the family.
"You are a freshman at Hogwarts, right? Don't try magic in a place like this, or you will be discovered. Ordinary people are afraid of the power of magic." The young man looked at the leaves floating in the air with surprise on his face. He didn't expect to see a freshman who was just about to enter school, and he actually succeeded in making the leaves float.
"Thank you, I will pay attention to it." Albert felt that the other party had no ill intentions, so he thanked the man and prepared to leave with his sister.
"I'm Gabriel, Gabriel Truman, a student of Hufflepuff College, and I live nearby." Gabriel Truman shook hands with Albert in a friendly manner, "You are a first-year student, right? I hope you can come to Hufflepuff College."
"Hufflepuff?" Albert asked in a puzzled tone.
"Oh, by the way, you still don't know about the four major colleges and the sorting ceremony." Truman was about to say something when he saw an owl flying towards him and threw a letter at his feet.
"Why is there an owl at this time?" Truman picked up the letter puzzledly and opened it in front of Albert. His expression froze and his face suddenly became ugly.
Nia also noticed the change in atmosphere and quickly hid behind Albert.
"What's wrong?" Albert also felt something was wrong and asked tentatively.
"I was fired. Why did this happen? Why?" Truman's face was full of confusion and anger. He looked like he might go crazy at any time. He didn't understand why the Ministry of Magic would send a letter saying that he was fired for using the levitation charm in front of Muggles.
"Oh, that's right, it's you, it must be you." When Truman saw Albert, he immediately understood what was going on. He rushed towards the freshman in front of him like crazy, but suddenly he felt dizzy and was knocked down by the child who was younger than him.
The next moment, Truman felt a pain in his wrist and couldn't help but scream in pain.
"Calm down, things are not as bad as you think." Albert had guessed the reason from Truman's words. The unlucky guy was expelled from school.
"I didn't use the levitation spell at all." Truman roared angrily, "I didn't even bring a wand."
"I know, it was me who used that spell." Albert reminded the other party calmly, "Perhaps, we should write a letter to the school to explain the situation. If necessary, I will testify for you. Don't worry, they won't expel you easily. We'd better write a letter now, one letter each, to explain the current situation to the principal. Do you have an owl?"
"No." Truman was a little depressed. He found that he was not as calm as the other party.
"Brother, it's Sheila." Nia pointed at the owl flying towards them.
"It seems that Sheila knows that we need it. Owl is really a magical creature." Albert couldn't help but sigh.
