Chapter 8: grandfather
Two days later, the Anderson family drove to Charles Street. Albert's grandfather and grandmother lived at 21 Charles Street.
The Andersons take time to visit the two elderly people every year. During the summer vacation, Albert will always stay here for a few days.
"Dad, I came to see you."
"Albert, come here and let me see!" Luke completely ignored his son, stepped forward and stared at his grandson. "Heber said, it's great that you have received a letter from Hogwarts. . If there is something you want to buy, you can tell me..."
"Dad, I have taken Albert to buy things in Diagon Alley in London." Herb looked at his father helplessly, cleared his throat and said, "I'm still bringing you a gift. "
"I'm not a kid, what kind of gift do I want." Luke glanced up at his son, took Albert's little hand and said, "Go to the house and tell me what magic you have learned."
"Luke has been excited for several days, like a child." Sansa said to the Herbs. "He never told me about it before. I only knew it a few days ago. I haven't seen Ni for a long time. Ya, have you missed me anymore."
"My brother won't let me touch his wand, he always guards me like a thief." Niya immediately reported to her grandmother.
"Heber, watch Tom, don't let him run around." Daisy picked up the package in the car and asked her husband to put the cat in the cat cage, lest the guy ran away from the cat cage as soon as he got out of the cage.
"Can Albert really become magic?" Sansa thought this was very interesting, but she didn't expect her grandson to be a legendary wizard.
"Yes, he can make the wand shine, and practice secretly in the room every night." Nya held her grandmother's hand and said that Albert's was not. "He also said that if I took the wand, I would definitely The home was blown up.
"Mom, you don't know, that magic wand is really dangerous, let me tell you..." Herb took the cat cage and followed them behind, still talking about what he had seen in Diagon Alley.
"Albert thinks it is dangerous to try magic indiscriminately." Daisy added that she had read the history of magic and knew part of what happened in the magic world, and she still had some understanding of the magic world.
"Well Daisy, things are not as bad as you think."
"No, Mom, in fact, even in the wizarding world, children would not be allowed to easily take a wand." Daisy was completely on Albert's side, and their son was very reliable.
"How do you know?" Herb asked curiously.
"If you read all those books, you will know." Daisy looked at her husband reproachfully, "Can you take care of Albert, he is our precious son."
"Don't worry, Albert didn't need us to worry since he was a child." Herb knows his son's character very well, and Albert has always made people worry.
"Even so, you should have a snack." Daisy took the parcel into the door, and took the door to the room.
After being imprisoned all the way, Tom was released from the cat’s cage and started running around, Sansa and Daisy went to the kitchen to prepare desserts and black tea, and Luke was listening to his son and grandson talking about Diagon Alley. The missing parts will complement each other.
Luke, of course, knew that the portrait of a wizard was moving, and he also knew Dumbledore.
He put the chocolate frog that Herb brought into a large glass bottle and placed it in the living room as a decoration.
"I even wrote to Dumbledore at the time, asking why I didn't receive the invitation letter." After so many years, Luke was relieved, "Because I didn't have any ability to cast spells, the so-called dumb cannon. I was eleven. He was sent away by his family in 1 year and handed over to an ordinary distant relative to raise him."
"How can they do this?" Herb was puzzled and angry. He felt that his father's family had done too much.
"The dumb cannon is a shame to a wizard's family." Luke whispered, "They will hide this secret as much as possible, and even pretend that there is no such person."
"Not sad, not sad." Niya comforted.
"After so many years, I have put these things aside, and I have completely disconnected from the family over there." Luke picked up Nia and put it on his lap, and said with a smile, "However, Albert became a wizard a bit strangely. To my surprise, when Herb didn't receive the invitation letter, I gave up completely."
In the small talk, Albert showed them new magic, such as the glowing spell, the repairing spell and the cleaning spell, and the unlocking spell. These are the four magics he currently masters, thanks to the promotion to level 2. Blood of the wizard.
Although I am not proficient in mastering it, it is quite surprising to see the cracked tea cup slowly repairing and the tea poured on the table being dried without warning.
"I want too." Niya looked at her grandfather coquettishly and whispered, "I want to learn magic too, Albert is too cunning."
Luke looked at his grandson and asked him for his opinion. He knew that Albert had his own opinion, and he would not decide on some things at will.
"You can only do what I tell you." Albert looked at his sister, and he was actually very curious about whether Nia had magic talent.
"I will, I promise." Niya nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"You promised so quickly, forget it, you are not listening to me at all." Albert stared at his sister and said seriously.
"Why, I'm listening carefully." Niya quickly retorted.
"Say it to me first, the fluorescence flickers."
"Fluorescence blinks." Niya hurriedly followed, she knew it was a spell.
"Read it a few more times slowly. Don't read it wrong, otherwise no one knows what will happen." Albert said, "I will lend you my wand later, don't jab it with it, don't use it at people. Don’t chant the curse, even if you don’t use magic, you can’t lose your temper."
"I see." Niya said a little impatiently.
"What I just said." Albert asked suddenly.
"Don't jab with your magic wand, don't..." Niya forgot to say, she pursed her lips and complained, "I am not you, how can I remember so many things."
"If you can't remember, I can't give you the magic wand." Albert said seriously.
"But... well, you are talking about it once." Niya compromised.
Watching Albert eat Nya to death, the Andersons all laughed, kids, they always like to be naughty, Nya's situation is similar.
However, Albert has a way to manage her mischief.
After Nia remembered his words, Albert gave her his wand.
Niya took the wand excitedly, and after being glared by Albert, she calmed down, chanting the spell obediently and tried to use the glowing spell, but the spell did not succeed.
"Take a deep breath, concentrate, and try again." Albert stretched out his hand on Nia's shoulder and said softly.
Luminous spell is one of the simplest spells. If it cannot be used, it probably means that Niya may not have the talent to become a wizard.
"Fluorescence flickers." Niya tried several more times, but none of them succeeded.
"You are anxious, don't worry, the more anxious, the easier it is to fail." Albert stroked his sister's hair and turned his head to look at his grandfather.
Luke shook his head, Albert actually knew what it meant.
"Am I not talented to be a wizard?" Niya cried a face, looking very sad.
"I don't know either." Albert comforted, "Perhaps, it's just because you are young and caring."
"Hate, Albert always likes to lie. I must not have the talent to be a wizard." Niya dropped her wand and ran away.
Albert picked up his wand with a helpless look, looked at the direction Nya ran away, and prepared to catch up.
Children are trouble.
"I'm going to find Niya." Luke stood up and walked in the direction of his granddaughter. He understood Niya's current mood.
