Chapter 2 Lustling cats for a while
At this moment, Ted's heart was filled with infinite joy—even if he became a millionaire in the ordinary world, it was not as exciting as a world with magic!
I want to be a wizard~

Two sheets of parchment paper, very thick to the touch. Holding it in your hand can't help but make your heart surge.
What Apple Jobs, what Microsoft Bill Gates, what Tesla does not brake, I will not serve you anymore!
I am going to learn magic!
A passionate voice sounded in Ted's heart:
To learn magic, find Lao Deng, eight hundred stainless steel crucibles.
The four colleges have a strong relationship, and the ten professors are strong in technology.
Hogwarts has a large scale, with 2,000 students from all over the world.
The job is stable and the income is high, and lifelong employment is guaranteed.
Hey there! Save! barrier!
"Googoogoo~~" The owl on the side looked a little impatient at the excited boy who had fallen into fantasy.
Owl: I don’t work overtime, let me tell you.
"Excuse me, please wait a moment." Ted was awakened by the owl, took out a pen and paper and began to reply.
Of course you can’t just say: I agree to enroll, let Dumbledore pick me up!
You have to pretend to be hesitant and suspicious, and your words fit your age...
"Ah, then please trouble Mr. Owl."
Ted took out his biscuit and crushed the impatient owl postman who bribed him. Don't lose your reply!
Looking at the owl flying away from the window, Ted suddenly "ding" in his mind:
"Ding~ The system startup is complete, and the magic card system is at your service."
Yo~ It's a deal, double happiness!
Focusing on the light cluster in my mind again, new information emerged.

Before Ted could examine it in detail, there was another "ding".
"Ding ~ trigger task:
【Magic World! (blue)】.
Being in Great Britain, are you going to miss the only magic school? Enrollment, must enrolment!
Goal: Successful admission to Hogwarts.
Reward: 500 experience, +lv1 magic power, random card.
Didn’t expect that? There is magic in this world! "
Immediately afterwards, there was another prompt.
"Ding~ Talent [Knowledge of Other Worlds (Gold)] is triggered, and knowledge [A few pages of Psionic Power Manual (Blue)] is obtained."
【Several pages of psychic power manual (blue)】: Records some Psionic practitioners' employment experience. Need 400 experience exchange.
The image of a card appeared in my mind.
This is a card with a blue border. There is a person on the card screen. There are patterns of gas or flames around his head, as if he is controlling the objects in front of him through some kind of power.
Every sub-item of the Tide induction system, the information emerges one by one.
This system can collect experience points, store them in the experience pool, and use them to upgrade occupations, or upgrade cards and magic.
I may have some kind of magical blood, and I was born a level 1 wizard, so Hogwarts sent me a letter.
If you have 1000 experience, you can now upgrade to level 2 wizard, get 1 attribute point, 1 skill point, and you can get a new talent every 4 levels.
Not to mention the attribute points, as the name suggests, it is simple and clear.
Skill points can upgrade skills, and now there are only two magic power and magic resistance.
Talent has a 【Knowledge of Other Worlds (Gold)】, which will trigger the knowledge of other worlds every month. It can be exchanged by consuming the corresponding experience points.
For example, this [a few pages of psychic power manual (blue)] needs to consume 400 experience to exchange.
Others, I haven’t learned magic or cards yet.
There is one task, which is a sub-question.
"Experience, how can we gain more experience?" Ted whispered to himself.
According to the information given by the system, there are different experiences available for exercising, studying, practicing magic, and conducting experiments. And complete tasks.
"There is still magic power..." Ted stretched out his hand and felt it carefully, feeling an indescribable power gently surging in his body.
"Is this magic power?" He reached out to a page twenty centimeters away, imagining how to mobilize this power.
A few seconds later, the piece of paper floated tremblingly and flew into my hand!
"Hold the grass! Niubi~"
…
The next day Ted told Mammy in a joking tone that a school of magic and magic that claimed to be Hogwarts sent him a notice, and he replied.
Mammy naturally didn't believe it, "Oh, little Ted, don't worry about it. Maybe that naughty ghost played a joke on you."
Ted continued to perform on the street, earning a stable income, getting some small banknotes and a lot of coins every day.
Waiting patiently for a reply is like waiting patiently for a computer to restart. Be patient.
Ted is now quite famous in the big market. Every day, more than a dozen people stop to listen to the music, and if they have change or coins in their hands, they throw them into the opened guitar bag.
Ted bowed slightly in return to his parents.
His voice condition is very good, it can barely be regarded as a natural voice. A kind wife praised him for "the voice kissed by an angel", and hoped that he could maintain it after changing his voice.
Ted picked up the tuning again. The guitar is too old and often goes out of tune.
"It's getting late, the last song "Scarborough Fair" is for everyone."
Ted plucked the strings and sang softly:
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Take a message for me to a man who lives there,
She used to be my lover.
Tell her to make me a sackcloth,
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
There are no pockets or needles on it,
She is my true love..."
Scarborough Fair was originally a regular fair formed by the Vikings' frequent landings and exchanges. For hundreds of years, the annual autumn lasted for one and a half months. There is still such a small market in Great Britain today. town.
The lyrics of the song Scarborough Fair date back to at least the thirteenth century in England, and the tune is even earlier, in Scotland.
Although it is a bit weird for a child to sing this song, for the British, this song is too classic.
More and more people stopped to listen to the classic songs played by the old guitar and the singing of this old but neat boy.
At this time, the market seemed to be quiet.
While everyone was intoxicated by the singing, a silver-bottomed tabby British shorthair cat was also squatting on the railing not far away, listening to the singing.
In fact, Scarborough Market is not only a Muggle market, it is also the largest and most lively market for wizards in England in the 17th century. It's just that as time goes by, the prosperity ceases.
This slightly sad song was created by a wizard's Muggle family. This is not only a classic song of the Muggle world, but also a classic song of wizards.
The singing stopped, the applause sounded, the audience praised generously, many people threw change into the guitar bag, and Ted bowed in return one by one.
He simply packed up his things, carried Ji on his back and came to the homeless man in the corner not far away.
There are only scattered coins in the hat in front of the tramp. It seems that his business is not good today.
Ted touched the dog next to the homeless man, put a few penny coins into his hat, raised **** to the tip of his eyebrows, and saluted slightly, "Wish us good luck, sir."
During the homeless man's thanks, Ted noticed the cat squatting on the railing. He directly reached out and grabbed it, and rua a few handfuls casually.
The short-haired cat was taken aback for a moment, then panicked, broke free violently, jumped to the ground and ran away like the wind.
Ted felt that his cat-handling skills might have declined after time travel, so he didn't care, and rushed back to the orphanage.
Along the way, the tabby British shorthair dog followed him furiously—I couldn’t hide the eyes of a person alone: I hate the human beings who have no sense of boundaries, hunting time!
Ted had just entered the door and greeted Mammy, when the door just closed behind him was knocked.
Outside the door was a tall lady, in her forties or fifties, with meticulous clothing and hair style, wearing glasses, strong aura, and serious expression.
She looked at the black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned boy in front of her with a strange look. He seemed to be undernourished and somewhat thin: "Mr. Ted Epifani?"
"Yes, it's me."
"I am the Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Minerva McGonagall..."
I guessed it, and I also guessed that I accidentally ruaed you just now.
It's broken, the dog needs to take it!
