Chapter 343 The cruel reality
Over the next few days, the Delacour family and the Anderson family actually got together. The initial communication between the two parties was not smooth. Mr. Delacour used broken English and gestures to communicate with Herb.
Perhaps because of their Veela blood, the Delacour family is very kind to ordinary people, somewhat similar to the Weasley family.
Mr. Delacour often brings his family to the resort for skiing. He knows the surroundings of the resort very well and has introduced many special foods and fun places here to the Anderson family.
However, Nia's face has not been very good, and Louise has been pestering Albert recently, and occasionally teasing him, which is really irritating.
The two communicated in French again, leaving Nia completely speechless.
The Andersons found that their son had become a bit strange. During their communication with the Delacours, they never expected that Albert would be so famous in the wizarding world.
The two of them couldn't help but worry about this. Being famous when they were young was not a good thing.
Mr. Delacour understood this, and did not forget to comfort the Andersons, telling them that Albert was famous in the magical world, only in academia.
In fact, Mr. Delacour didn't understand why Albert was so famous. In the end, he attributed it to Albert's contact with many famous wizards in the magical world.
Friends of big names in academia are usually not too bad.
If it was just one-sided, not many people would actually pay attention to it, but the fields Albert covers are too wide.
When these wizards were communicating, they accidentally talked about Albert, and were surprised to find that they all knew this man.
They will naturally become interested, communicate with each other, collect information about Albert, and remember Albert as a genius.
After all, the Andersons did not stay at the resort until the end of the summer vacation, and took a flight back to the UK at the end of July.
There is no way, Nia is about to enter high school. Whether she goes to Hogwarts or another school in the future, she needs to prepare in advance.
The only thing that made Albert feel depressed was that after returning to the UK, the weather became even hotter. He was used to the comfortable low temperature in the resort, but he felt a little uncomfortable with the high temperature in the UK after returning home.
The hot weather makes people irritable, especially as August approaches, Nia's mood becomes more and more anxious, like a prisoner who is about to be sent to court, and the letter from Hogwarts will be her final sentence.
Albert could understand Nia's anxiety, just like the college entrance examination in her previous life. The anxiety and boredom were really bad, let alone an eleven-year-old child.
Even if Albert tried his best to comfort her, he couldn't change the girl's anxious mood. Every time she saw an owl flying, Nia would always rush to get the letter, hoping to see the result as soon as possible.
Albert had to put down his holiday homework, focus more on Nia, and try to distract her with other things.
“Would you like to play a game?” Albert shook the game console in his hand. This was the Tetris game console he asked Herb to buy.
Well, there is only one game in it.
Albert tried to use games to divert Nia's attention, but the effect was not very good.
"If you really can't wait to know the result, I can write and ask for you." Albert put the game console on the table, moved Tom who was lying next to him, and said calmly: "I know Hogg Vice Principal Watts, if you really can't wait any longer, I can help you ask Professor McGonagall, the witch who came to us last time."
“Is it really possible?” Nia’s eyes flickered, but soon dimmed again. Albert knew what Nia was afraid of.
"Of course. If you want to know!" Albert looked into Nia's eyes and said softly: "However, no matter what the result is, you must accept it and you can't lose your temper casually."
“Yeah!” Nia nodded repeatedly.
Albert went back to the house to get a quill and wrote a letter to Professor McGonagall.
After he finished writing the letter, he handed it to Nia, who took it and read it softly:
My sister Nia Anderson has reached the entrance age of Hogwarts. She is troubled by this matter recently. Can you tell me whether she has been admitted to Hogwarts?
—Albert Anderson
“Is that enough?” Nia looked at Albert in confusion. She didn’t expect that the so-called asking could be so simple.
“Professor McGonagall is the deputy dean and is responsible for handling the admissions of new students. Asking her directly is the best way.” Albert handed the letter to Sheila and explained to Nia.
"how long it takes."
Albert touched the girl's head and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, you will get a reply soon."
Albert felt that Professor McGonagall's reply would probably be sent along with the letter. He wrote this letter purely to appease Nia.
"Okay, you play the game console for a while first. After school, you won't have this opportunity!" Albert thrust the game console into Nia's hand, went to the kitchen to pour her a cup of Coke, and put two Ice cubes.
He also poured himself a glass and took a big gulp before pulling out today's Daily Prophet from under Tom's butt.
Albert couldn't remember when Quirrell sneaked into Gringotts to steal the Philosopher's Stone.
However, he knew that as soon as this happened, the Daily Prophet would definitely report it. Even if the goblin wanted to hide it, it could not hide it from the reporters who always wanted to make big news.
The next morning, while the Andersons were having breakfast, Professor McGonagall's reply, or rather the letter from Hogwarts, arrived.
There was only one letter to Albert, and Professor McGonagall's reply was placed in that letter.
The smile on Nia's face disappeared instantly, and tears filled her eyes. She knew that she had not been admitted to Hogwarts.
There is no doubt that she has no magical talent.
Albert sighed softly, opened the envelope, found Professor McGonagall's reply, glanced at the contents of the letter, and handed it to Nia.
The girl took the note tremblingly. After Herb and Daisy looked at each other, they both saw the other's expression of relief.
"Okay, Nia, don't be sad. Even if you can't go to Hogwarts, you can still go to other schools." Daisy held Nia in her arms and comforted her softly, "Since a long time ago, you have been That’s expected, isn’t it?”
yes!
Have known it since a long time ago.
This reply just cut off Nia's last thoughts.
"Cry if you want to!" Albert patted Nia's back gently and said softly, "After you finish crying, you will feel better."
“Why, I just can’t do it!” Nia was very unwilling. She also wanted to go to Hogwarts and learn magic.
yes!
why?
There is no such thing as fairness in this world.
It is so cruel.
Albert has known it for a long time and is used to it.
However, it is still so cruel to an eleven-year-old girl.
"Do you still remember our agreement?" Albert said after Nia finished crying, "In the future, help me manage things here, okay?"
