"So you two lied to me for eleven years?" Hope gritted her teeth and asked her parents who were holding back their smiles.
Teresa softened her smile and said as if I was doing it for your own good: "Dear son, how can you lie? This is just a temporary concealment. You have to know that the descendants of wizards are not necessarily wizards. Besides, your father is from a Muggle family."
Joey next to him covered his mouth and nodded in time.
Teresa continued: "We originally planned to wait until you awaken your magic power before telling you. You may not know that there are many families who have cracks because of their identity as a wizard." Then she said aggrievedly: "Who Knowing that our dear son actually doesn’t trust us, he woke up at the age of five and didn’t tell us.”
Looking at his mother's pitiful appearance, Hope would have really thought that he had committed an unforgivable crime. However, he was not fooled. Hope narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I never said that I woke up at the age of five. Yes, mom, how did you know."
Teresa's face stiffened and she said: "Without mentioning this in advance, let me tell you about the entrance test of Hogwarts. Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world, and the entrance test is quite dangerous."
Hope: (*￣m￣), you changed the topic a bit abruptly. Bad review. Besides, it’s just wearing a shabby hat. What’s the danger? I don’t know which college I will be assigned to.
When Hope was thinking wildly, Teresa suddenly became serious and pulled Hope back from his thoughts.
"First of all, there are four houses in Hogwarts, namely Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. I was in Slytherin at the time, and your father was from Gryffindor. "
Hearing this, Hope was full of curiosity. Aren't these two colleges feuding? How did you two get together? Is it all due to fate? Hope glanced at the handsome father next to him, but it was a bit painful to hold back his laughter. Look again Look at Chen Yuluoyan's mother, let alone saying she's a perfect match, no wonder she gave birth to a son like me, Yushu Linfeng.
Teresa continued: "The specific test is different every year. Our entrance test that year was to defeat a giant dragon and be ten meters tall. I don't know what you will be asked to do this year, but I think it will be similar."
With a change of tone, Teresa encouraged: "Don't worry, son, your father will take you to Diagon Alley to buy wands and learning materials later. Why do you care about this little dragon?"
Hope frowned, stared at Theresa's, and asked, "Really?"
Teresa replied seriously: "Really!"
Hope's brows frowned more and more, and she pointed her little finger at Joey next to her and said, "Dad, he almost suffocated."
Teresa looked at Joey covering her mouth and twitching, and she suddenly became angry. I have worked so hard to gain knowledge, but you are making trouble here. Well, Joey was kicked under the table, and Joey stopped smiling in pain.
Teresa then said to Hope: "It's okay, your dad cares about you too much. When he thinks about you having to take such a dangerous entrance test, he can't help but feel worried and wants to cry. Mom has to go to work, so let your dad Help you get ready."
Before leaving, he threatened Joey with his eyes and asked him not to spill the beans.
Hope's mouth twitched as he watched. If it hadn't been for your kick, the corners of dad's mouth would have reached his temples. Are you sure he was worried about me?
After his mother left, Hope looked at Joey suspiciously and asked, "Is everything my mother said true?"
Joey was stunned for a moment, turned his head to the side and said: "Of course, although it is an exaggeration, it is generally about the same."
Hope said if you have the ability, look into my eyes and speak!
"Let's go. I'll take you to see Diagon Alley when I have free time today. The newly appointed Minister of Magic is crazy about who he is. He keeps doing surprise inspections and he doesn't know when he will start to get busy again."
Hope curled her lips. These two people slept on the same bed. It seemed they were trying to fool me to the end.
He hurriedly wrote the reply and handed it to the waiting owl, and then followed Joey to Diagon Alley. Joey did not use magic, but drove there.
On the way, Hope asked doubtfully: "Dad, what does mom do?"
Joey thought for a moment and realized there was no need to hide anything, so he replied: "Your mother works in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic and is called the Silent Person. I don't know exactly what she does. The confidentiality system there is quite strict. "
"And you?"
"I am an Auror, equivalent to a police officer, and my father's position is average. I am the deputy director of the Auror Office."
Hope looked at Joey suspiciously. He felt that his father was deceiving him. These two positions were just fun for people who were new to the wizarding world. Hope knew that not everyone could be a silent person. Yes, and the things he studies are very high-level, either life and death or time.
The same is true for Aurors. The entry requirements are quite demanding, let alone the position of deputy director. You must have qualifications and connections.
Hope thought happily: Could it be that I am still the second generation of power?
Diagon Alley is not far from Hope's home. It takes about thirty minutes to drive there. After parking the car, Joey took Hope to the door of a dilapidated pub. The door sign said: "The Leaky Cauldron." Compared to the two well-decorated record stores and bookstores next to it, the shabby tavern is not weird at all, but pedestrians on the road don't care at all.
Hope knew the reason, but Joey still enthusiastically spread the word: "This is the Leaky Cauldron, the most accustomed gathering place for wizards. Moreover, a Muggle expulsion spell has been cast here, and people without magic cannot see it."
Joey did not forget to tell him: "Of course, the people here are quite complex, don't just talk to strangers, you know?"
Hope nodded in understanding.
As the two people entered, the originally lively bar suddenly became quiet. Hope looked at the surrounding environment. Well, just like the appearance, he also noticed that some people lowered their heads nervously, as if they were ready to run away at any time. It seemed that one of the figures caught Hope's attention.
It was quite difficult not to attract attention. Compared to the others, this man was much taller. At this time, he was clutching his huge pocket, drinking tremblingly, and his eyes were glancing from time to time. Look over here, is this Hagrid? There is definitely something wrong with him.
Soon the anomaly in the tavern was noticed by the tavern owner Tom. When Tom saw the visitor, he greeted him warmly: "Welcome to Joey, who is this?"
Joey proudly introduced: "This is my son, Hope, who will enter school this year."
Tom warmly congratulated Hope on her admission, and Hope politely said thank you.
Tom faced Joey and said in surprise: "I didn't know you had a son." Then he asked cautiously: "There is no surprise inspection today, so I have fewer customers."
Joey reassured Tom and said, "There are some reasons. If Hope is not a wizard, we don't plan to let him come into contact with the wizarding world. Don't worry, there will be no mission today. I just brought my son to buy things."
After the two of them finished chatting, Joey took him to a brick wall. There was a trash can in front of the brick wall. Joey said: "Look, count three upwards from the trash can, two across, use the wand to a little."
The bricks instantly shrank from the middle to both sides, opening a door, revealing the lively scene inside.
Joey walked in first and said, "Welcome to Diagon Alley."
