This is a small village in western England. There is a huge forest to the east of the village. Children in the village have been warned from childhood not to go near the forest.
Because legend has it that a wizard lives in that forest.
This legend has been passed down in the village for hundreds of years and is strictly followed by everyone. Even the most naughty children will not go near the forest.
Because the legend is true...
The snow-white owl flew past the sleeping village, waving its wings silently, and flew firmly and slowly towards the forest.
On the distant hillside, two robed figures watched the owl enter the forest.
"I thought this family was extinct."
A witch with square glasses, curly black hair tied into a high bun, and dark green robes spoke with a rather complicated tone.
Next to her, the Chinese-haired old man with half-moon glasses shook his head and said, "Yes, Minerva, I felt the same way at first. Until his name appeared in the Book of Access."
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore beside him: "Is this a good thing?"
Dumbledore said calmly: "No one knows, Minerva, but I think we can look forward to it."
After that, the two stopped talking. Quietly waiting for the other party's decision.
Hogwarts is a school, not a prison. They will not force enrollment, and if the other party refuses, it is naturally acceptable. Although this kind of thing has never happened.
On a small tree at the edge of the forest, a long emerald green snake hung lazily on the tree until the shadow of the owl appeared in its perception. It gracefully placed its body on the ground, and then burrowed into the depths of the woods with graceful posture and swift speed.
The owl noticed a very bad atmosphere when it got close to the woods. It felt that the woods were like a huge open mouth, and it could not get out if it entered. But feeling the weight of the letter in his mouth, it bravely dived into the forest.
The forest is not that scary. This is the owl's first feeling. Although there is still a sense of peeping around, there is no sense of danger that one may die at any time.
This made the owl sigh inwardly with relief. So it plucked up the courage and flew straight towards the dim light deep in the forest.
After the owl left, rustling sounds continued to sound on the ground, and snakes appeared one after another from the dead branches and leaves. They all stared at the owl's back and headed towards the center of the forest.
The owl flies very fast, and the vague sense of spying makes it feel very nervous. It has been sending letters for so many years. I have never experienced this feeling before. So it unconsciously accelerated its flight speed.
Before long, it reached the center of the forest. There was an open space with only a simple but not crude wooden house standing there. The wooden house is simple and elegant in shape, clean and tidy overall, and the light flowing from the window is dim but warm. If a nobleman wearing a palace dress walked out of the closed door in the next moment, it would definitely not look out of place. On the wall, there is an 'S' shaped snake pattern.
The owl circled above the hut, but did not find the location of the mailbox. So I headed towards the window and prepared to land.
Just as it was about to land, the door opened.
A little boy in silk pajamas came out, looked up at the owl, and waved to it.
The owl obediently landed on the wooden railing in front of the little boy and delivered the letter from his mouth forward. The little boy took the letter, stretched out his other hand, touched its head, and then snapped his fingers.
There was a panicked squeaking sound in the distance, and a mouse floated over from the woods and let out a shrill howl. The owl looked at the mouse's figure, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he flapped his wings and rushed towards him.
In the past, when it went to deliver messages to the little wizard, some polite little mixed-race wizards would give it something to eat. But who knows why the little wizard always likes to feed it nuts...
Owls don't eat nuts, so you eat nuts!
At this moment, the owl was suddenly very fond of this unknown little wizard.
The little wizard listened to the cheerful hoot of the owl, smiled gracefully, then opened the envelope and took out the letter he had been waiting for.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Luke Gunter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been looking forward to the arrival of this letter since he came to the world five years ago, and now, his wait was finally rewarded.

Seeing that the system that had been silent for four years and two months was finally revived, Luke breathed a sigh of relief. Although I was a wizard back then, I was still just a six-year-old child. Without the guidance of the system from the beginning, I probably wouldn't have survived.
The system guided Luke through the initial period of confusion and helplessness. Luke was filled with gratitude to the system in his heart.
He no longer paid attention to the owl that was feasting, but turned around and walked into the house, lay down on the table, picked up a quill and wrote on the delicate parchment in beautiful calligraphy:
"Dear Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall:
Thank you both for your invitation. I very much hope and am willing to become a student at the best magic school in the UK. However, before enrolling, because there are no other adult wizards around me, I hope the school can send a teacher to help me.
Sincerely
salute
Luke Gunter
July 30, 1991"
After simply writing the reply, he took out an envelope with a green snake pattern on the edge from the table on the other side, put the letter inside, and sealed it with a wax seal and wax particles on the seal. When the seal is removed, the dark green snake emblem is exquisite and grand.
Luke waited a moment longer with the letter in his hand before getting up and going out.
At this time, the owl had just finished eating the mouse and was flapping its wings happily. When it saw the kind little wizard who gave it food, it called twice enthusiastically.
Luke touched its head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, he handed over the letter in his hand.
The owl took the letter into its mouth, nodded to Luke, and then flapped its wings and flew out in the direction it came from.
Luke watched the owl leave the woods, and then the smile faded from his face. A long emerald green snake emerged from the shadows next to the hut. Then he climbed up Luke's trousers and onto Luke's shoulders.
It spit out the snake message softly, as if it was talking to Luke.
Luke nodded: "Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are both here. It seems that the surname of 'Gaunt' in this body is not fake."
Luke couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought of this. To be honest, he wasn't a big fan of the Harry Potter series in his previous life. My understanding of the entire story is limited to a cursory viewing of the movie, and I can only be considered a mild fan of the movie. Naturally, I don’t know much about the Gaunt family, a family that doesn’t have much of a role in the original work.
But this is certainly not the first time Dumbledore has confirmed his identity. So there is no need to doubt this bloodline. And with Dumbledore's endorsement, it would be much easier for him to enter the circle of a pure-blood family.
After all, you are not a pureblood, so why do you think you can represent and lead a pureblood family?
right? Tom Nose Riddle.
With this thought, Luke walked back into the house again and closed the door. He still had some information to confirm.
At the same time, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had seen the owl flying out of the forest.
The owl naturally saw them from a distance. Although it was confused as to why Professor Mao would appear here, the recipient of his letter was Professor McGonagall, so it naturally flew towards Professor McGonagall. past.
With a flick of Professor McGonagall's fingers, a stone on the ground turned into an inverted 'L' shaped wooden pole. The owl landed on the wooden pole and handed the letter in its beak to Professor McGonagall.
When Professor McGonagall took the letter, the first thing she saw was the conspicuous green shining coat of arms.
"It's the coat of arms of the Gaunt family, yes." Dumbledore said after taking a look at it. Although he was sure that the child's bloodline was indeed that of the Gunter family, he did not expect that the family coat of arms of the Gunter family was also in his hand.
Now it seems that the Gaunt family in Little Hangleton, that is, the Gaunt family where Voldemort's mother belongs, should be the bright child on the show, and the child here is the dark child with the inheritance of the family head.
This is not a rare thing in a big family. However, there are very few pure-blood families nowadays, so this has not been done for a long time.
However, this child obviously did not jump out of the cracks in the rocks. Why is this generation of Gunter descendants about to join the world?
At this time, Professor McGonagall had finished reading the short letter. Professor McGonagall's first reaction after seeing this letter was that it was pleasing to the eye. The handwriting on this letter is really beautiful. If you can see the words as you can see the person, then this little guy must be a very good person. Of course, Professor McGonagall knew that this statement was unreliable, but this good handwriting could leave a good first impression on her.
"Dumbledore, Luke said that there are no adult wizards around him and he needs the guidance of a teacher."
Professor McGonagall was even a little confused when she said this. Is this child of the Gunter family an orphan?
Dumbledore didn't say anything more, just nodded, and then said: "You make the arrangements, Minerva. I'm going to pay attention to Privet Drive later."
When the place name 'Privet Drive' was mentioned, Professor McGonagall also became serious.
"Is there still no reply from Harry?"
"No, it seems that family is really stubborn."
"Do you need me to go take a look?"
Professor McGonagall asked. She was also very concerned about Harry's problems. The child who survived had always touched the hearts of many people.
Dumbledore shook his head and said: "No need, I have already asked Hagrid to do this."
Professor McGonagall also nodded. Sending Hagrid was indeed a good choice. After all, what the family needed now was deterrence, not persuasion.
After that, she looked at the letter in her hand, and then said to Dumbledore: "Then let me guide this child."
Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall with some confusion: "I thought you would let Severus come."
After all, it is almost clear which college this child will be assigned to.
Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment and didn't speak, as if she was weighing the pros and cons, but after a while, she still said firmly: "I'll do it."
She looked at the letter and said, "Maybe this is a very good child."
Dumbledore nodded, his eyes deep, showing no emotion other than gentleness.
At this time, Luke didn't know that his guidance teacher had decided. He was looking at his information and preparing to open a gift bag.

Luke chose to open the novice gift package, and the animation of the box opening was played, and then golden light flashed. Luke had a look of surprise on his face. The last time he saw the golden light was when he opened the 'Guidance Gift Pack'. That time he opened the 'Azkaban Three-piece Set' and the legendary 'Slytherin's Wand'.
What is this golden light meeting now?
