HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 4: Gryffindor or Slytherin

  Isha Young Manor, a small town on the outskirts of London.

The owner of this manor is said to be the offspring of travelers from the far east many years ago. The original owner was a Chinese named Yang Hang, who settled here and married the daughter of the local nobleman Issa Belenka. Having children, their descendants have lived here for generations.

   And those who live here now are Mrs. Carolina Yang and her daughter, who are over 80 years old.

Next to Issa Manor, there is also a not-so-small house. This is an old house belonging to the Smith family. However, since the old Smiths who lived here died, their son and daughter-in-law who lived in Greenwich basically did not live here. After that, now there is only one old butler looking after the house here.

   Incidentally, the daughter-in-law of the Smiths is Carolina Yang’s daughter, Lin Yang.

   Of course, it’s Lynn Smith now.

For the residents of the small town, the two families who live in the neighborhood are the same weird, and they rarely communicate with the residents in the town, but the two families are very wealthy, otherwise they would not be able to cultivate so good Child.

   I heard that I am still a university professor!

   The residents of the town always say that.

   But such rumors, Love Smith apparently did not know, he received a good elite education since he was a child, so that he has no intersection with the residents of the town.

  ...

   An hour before dinner, the Smith family appeared from the fireplace in the basement of Issa Young Manor.

For Mr. Smith, this is not the first time he has used the Floo Net. As the husband of a witch, his identity has been filed with the Ministry of Magic-so as not to trigger the secrecy laws, but it is the experience of these magical means of transportation. , Which made Mr. Smith so curious about the wizarding world.

   In front of the fireplace, they were greeted by the Yang family's house elf, Kalyka. This female elf now serves the Yang family together with her mother and brother, and to them, the Smith family can also be regarded as their masters.

   Without him, Love Smith and Lin Smith grew up together. They could not be exposed because of the confidentiality law, but this does not prevent them from developing a good impression of Mr. Smith.

   And after Love Smith and his little owner became husband and wife, this kind of affection does not need to be kept secret.

   "Welcome back, my master."

   Kalika performed a standard noble courtesy and winked at Jon when she got up.

   Jon also returned a look, his friendship with Kalika, the house elf, dates back to when he lived in Yisha Manor.

   It was a really enjoyable time.

Naturally, there is no need for elves to lead the way back to their own home. As a wizard family that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the local area, the Yang family not only has its own family’s house elves, but also several wizard servants. These wizards are not very advanced. For the magic cultivation base, it's not a bad thing to be able to find such a low-paying job.

   After all, the families of these servants still live in the real world, and even two of them are not wizards. They still need ordinary people's money to survive.

   Love Smith is the one who pays these servants. Of course, this expenditure is only a small amount for him.

It’s not far from the basement to the living room. Just as Jon went upstairs, he saw his grandmother wearing a silk robe and glasses sitting on the sofa drinking tea and reading. This old witch is like an ordinary old lady, if you ignore it If she just turned the small wooden square at hand into an exquisite silver cup.

   "Grandma, I want to kill you!"

Jon smiled and walked over to reach Mrs. Carolina’s side, holding his grandmother’s arm and reading together. He couldn’t do it like a child to jump into the grandmother’s arms and act like a baby—it would make him physically uncomfortable, but it would still be a sign of closeness. It can be done.

   In contrast, the Smiths are much more reserved. They greeted Mrs. Carolina and sat on the sofa next to them.

Love Smith likes to come to Isha Manor very much. The library here has a lot of interesting books on the wizarding world. Every time he comes, he will read one or two books. Those books are the legends and secrets of the wizarding world, which are used for entertainment. Reading books will never fail to understand.

Ms. Mei Yang, who heard that her younger sister's family had arrived, had also walked downstairs. Behind her was a black-haired girl who looked two years older than Jon. She was Jon’s cousin. This Isa? The future heir of the Young Manor, Bella Young.

   The relationship between Jon and Bella Young is very good. Because of the unfortunate marriage of his parents, Bella is obviously closer to his grandmother and Jon’s younger brother, but is indifferent to her mother.

   There is still some time before the start of the dinner. Mrs. Smith and his mother and sister wanted to talk privately. Mr. Smith went to the library to read. Jon naturally went to the manor with his cousin Bella. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   "I heard that you already got the wand? Show it to my sister."

   Leaving the parents, Bella's face finally showed a lively look, showing great interest in her cousin's wand.

   Jon didn't worry about his wand being damaged, and generously drew out his wand and handed it to his cousin.

   Bella waved her magic wand, but there was no response. It seemed that she wanted to use a little magic to show Jon.

Being a descendant of a pure-blooded wizard family has many advantages. Take the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards" as an example. In addition to the fact that young wizards who have not yet started learning magic but have already obtained magic wands can perform magic, When the descendants of the pure-blood family are in school, they will not be warned by a letter from the Ministry of Magic if they cast magic during the holidays.

   Jon seriously suspects that the relevant laws of the Ministry of Magic were designed for the little wizards who were born in Muggles, and they have serious discriminatory tendencies.

   On the one hand, there are pure-blood wizards who are taught by their parents and can practice magic during the holidays, and on the other are Muggle-born wizards who teach themselves and cannot use magic during the holidays. The Ministry of Magic's preference is not too obvious.

   "It looks like you have nothing to do with my magic wand."

   Jon tilted his head and retracted his wand, turned the subject away and asked, "Is Hogwarts fun?"

   "There is nothing fun. If you really want to learn something, you will be very busy. To be honest, there are a lot of homework."

   Bella Young is currently studying at Ravenclaw College in Hogwarts, and is about to enter the third grade. Of course, entering Ravenclaw is the tradition of the Yang family wizards.

   "By the way, do you want to enter that academy?" Bella blinked and said, "I heard my mother say that your magic talent is very good. Do you want to enter Gryffindor or Slytherin?"
