Chapter 6 First Trial of Magic
That night, Albert showed his family his new Hogwarts school uniform, ordinary black plain work robes and a black pointed hat, nothing special.
If you have to say it, it looks stupid, especially that **** pointed hat. Wearing it on your head until you go out for a walk, it must have a good rate of turning heads, at least that's what Albert thinks.
Nia was very satisfied with her gift. She was wearing a cloak much larger than herself, and she was wearing the black pointed hat on her head. She was posing in the living room, and Herb took a photo of the two of them with the camera.
Daisy sat on the sofa, silently reading through Albert's history of magic. She wanted to know more about where her son was going.
"Mom, look, it's a living chocolate frog!" Nia opened the box of the chocolate frog and couldn't help giggling when she saw the chocolate frog jumping away.
Heb already had experience, so he quickly reached out to grab the chocolate frog that fell on the table, and handed it to Nia.
Then, Herb opened another box, which also contained a chocolate frog. He quickly grabbed the chocolate frog and handed it to Daisy who was flipping through the book carefully.
"Is this thing really edible?" Daisy raised her eyebrows, looking suspiciously at the living chocolate frog in front of her, doubting whether it was safe to eat.
"Mom, the chocolate frog is edible, it tastes very good!" Nia had already bit off the head of the chocolate frog, eating happily, with some melted chocolate on her face.
"Okay, wipe your face clean, like a little tabby cat!" Albert handed Nia his handkerchief, turned his head to look at Tom who was confronting the owl, picked it up, and placed it beside the sofa , slapped his chin and asked, "Tom, don't bully it."
Albert took out the owl nuts from the package, poured some on the plate in the cage, and muttered: "What should I call it?"
"Jerry."
Albert thought about it and named this snow owl.
Tom and Jerry.
Although there is no cat and mouse anime in this world, Albert thinks the name is quite funny.
Xue Xiao seemed to sense the host's malice, and didn't respond to Jerry.
"Albert, the name you got is so ugly!" Nia reached out and hugged the owl, rubbed her face and said, "It should be called Sheila, that's a good name."
"Why not call it Celebi?" Albert thought wryly.
"Albert, the person in the photo suddenly disappeared!" Herb was surprised to find that the person in the chocolate frog card had disappeared.
"Photo?" Albert looked at his father, who was holding a chocolate frog picture in his hand.
"Maybe, the pictures of wizards can move? Chocolate frogs can move, why can't the characters in the pictures move?"
"That's right!" Herb accepted this explanation. He turned the picture over and read the text on the back: "Albus Dumbledore... is currently the headmaster of Hogwarts and is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time."
"Oh, it's the old man who sent the letter to Albert." Daisy took the chocolate frog card from her husband, wanting to see who sent the invitation letter to her son.
Unfortunately, the picture is empty.
Daisy turned the chocolate frog card over and read the rest, "Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses of dragon's blood, and collaborating with Nicole Flamel was fruitful in alchemy. Professor Dumbledore was fond of chamber music and bowls."
"Dragon's blood?" Daisy's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "There are still dragons in this world? And, Nicole Flamel, I remember him as..."
"The famous alchemist in the 14th century." Albert added: "Created the legendary Philosopher's Stone. It is said that the Philosopher's Stone can turn stones into gold and make people live forever. If he is still alive, it means that the Philosopher's Stone made people Nicole Flamel is immortal."
"Okay, Daisy, be happy." Herb put his arms around his wife and comforted him softly, "The situation is not as bad as you think, especially since we don't understand the magic world yet, it's best not to take it lightly." Make a judgment call, and, you should trust our son, he is a genius, he can play his talent wherever he goes."
"By the way, Albert, can you use magic?" Nia pounced on Albert, grabbed his hand, and shook it gently coquettishly, looking at Albert expectantly with her small face, "I I want to see you do magic."
"This... let me study it first, and I don't know how to use it now." Albert reached out and ruffled Nia's hair.
"Hateful." Nia covered her head, ran to Daisy's side, and shared pumpkin pie with her.
Albert began to look through Miranda Gosak's "Standard Spells, Elementary", and then took out the wand from the box, preparing for the first spellcasting attempt.
"Don't, Albert, don't try it here!" Herb's face twitched, thinking about what happened in the wand shop earlier.
"You should have some confidence in your son!" Albert raised his wand and lightly chanted a spell: "Luminescence flashes."
The tip of the wand flashed suddenly, then went out again.
"Just now, the tip of that cane flickered, right?" Daisy said uncertainly.
"Yes, flashed for a moment, he really deserves to be my son!" Herb found that Albert could use magic immediately, with an unconcealable pride on his face.
"Albert, what was that just now?" Nia asked excitedly.
"Uh, it's the luminous spell, it should be a relatively easy spell to master, I'm trying it out." Albert secretly checked his panel, and sure enough, he found that the luminous spell was added to the skill list.
The spell is still at level 0, but it has gained 7 points of experience.
Only when you reach level 1 can you truly master it. Only 100 experience points are needed to go from level 0 to level 1, but Albert does not intend to use the stored precious experience to upgrade the Luminous Curse to level 1, even if only 100 experience points are quite valuable.
"I'll try again." Albert cleared his throat and recited the spell again, and the tip of the wand emitted a pale light again.
Albert tried a total of five times before he could barely master the spell. He only needed to concentrate a little, and the light on the wand would not disappear easily.
Seeing this scene, the other three couldn't help applauding. Although it was just a simple luminous spell, in the eyes of the Anderson family, it was quite remarkable.
"Albert, Albert, let me try, I want to try too." Nia jumped at her brother excitedly.
"No." Albert quickly put away his wand, "At least, you can't play here, you know? The last time I tried a wand, I almost blew up the counter of that wand shop."
"mean."
"It's not about being stingy. The wand itself is dangerous, and I don't understand anything. What should I do if I encounter danger?" Albert immediately put on a face and resorted to his trump card, "If Nia is so willful, in the future I will I won't teach you how to use magic."
"Albert is right." Herb said quickly, "You should wait until he is familiar with magic before teaching you."
"Okay!" Nia pouted dissatisfiedly, and still compromised, but she seemed a little disappointed. She was very envious of Albert's ability to use magic.
"Your grandfather, I plan to come over these two days. However, I think we'd better visit them together, so as not to have to run around again." Herb left some candies and gifts from the wizarding world. He knew that his father might Won't eat them, but he must be happy to see them.
