What child wouldn't want to become a Hogwarts student?

The morning bell rang seven times, and with the sunlight shining through the window, 11-year-old Jon, nestled inside his blanket, reluctantly opened his eyes and got out of the warm bed.

If he didn't get up soon, his mother's voice would probably echo throughout the entire street again.

"How can growing kids function without sufficient sleep? Especially on weekends for breakfast," Jon muttered as he brushed his teeth. "Parents never consider the children's feelings. This rule seems to be universal worldwide."

Jon Smith, currently 11 years old, was born in Greenwich, a town located in the southeast of London, renowned for the Prime Meridian. Nowadays, it has become a tourist destination due to the relocation of the observatory.

The Smith family has been residing there for generations, and if there was something different about them compared to other families, there was indeed one notable aspect.

This particular aspect had a significant impact on Jon's worldview.

His mother, the matriarch of the Smith family, Lin Smith, is a witch by bloodline.

It was based on his mother's statements that Jon finally concluded that he had truly entered the magical world depicted by J.K. Rowling.

Jon Smith, whose Chinese name is Jon, is a reincarnator. As a successor of socialism growing up in the 21st century, he has always studied hard under the strict guidance of his parents. Although he isn't exceptionally talented, he believes that hard work pays off. Just one month before his death, he had received an acceptance letter from a university for his graduate studies. This made his parents very happy, and they completely let go of their control over him. They even allowed him to travel to England with his friends.

However, that's when things went wrong. He met with an accident in a foreign land and lost his life. In his previous life, Jon was never a well-behaved child, despite being perceived that way by his teachers and parents. Alongside his studies, he was passionate about browsing articles related to mysteries, legends, and bizarre stories, as well as delving into "academic achievements" such as deciphering codes, magic, and the studies of famous scientists turning to philosophy.

As the most successful work in the magical world, the "Harry Potter" series naturally didn't escape his attention. However, this definitely should not have been the reason for him to be reborn in the magical world!

Nevertheless, the situation was already set, and complaining would never solve the problem. At least when he went abroad, he purchased insurance with his parents as beneficiaries, so he no longer had to worry about their old age, as they still had his younger brother.

After undergoing several reconstructions of his worldview during his infancy, Jon fully accepted this fact. He was reborn as the child of a witch and was about to become a young wizard.

"Jon, what are you doing?! Come down quickly!"

His mother's voice came from his ear, and Jon hurriedly rinsed his mouth and put on his shirt before heading downstairs.

Mr. Lov Smith was sitting at the dining table on the first floor, eating breakfast and reading the newspaper. Despite his wife being a witch, he was a regular person through and through. As a sociology professor at the University of Greenwich, Mr. Smith had already gained status and wealth. He showed a great deal of interest in his wife being a witch and even wanted to enter the wizarding world to explore. Unfortunately, Mrs. Smith always prevented it from happening.

"Dad, hasn't my letter arrived yet?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I think if you had received your letter, your mother would have informed you first, wouldn't she?"

Mr. Smith blinked at Jon, clearly reminding him not to forget his father's small "wish."

Jon remained silent, pretending not to notice, and turned his head to the kitchen. Mrs. Smith came out with a plate of fries. She looked like an ordinary housewife, completely unlike a witch. Of course, that was just an appearance. As her son, Jon was well aware that this homemaker was actually an employee of the British Ministry of Magic's "Department of Mysteries."

This department was exceptionally mysterious and had no visible presence. Even Jon, who had read the original books several times and remembered the plot, aside from the fight in the Department of Mysteries, didn't have much of an impression of this department.

However, since Jon's birth, this job became less and less significant—at least Jon had never seen his mother go to work.

Well, she was just a housewife.

Jon silently grumbled in his mind, stuffing a fry into his mouth. Although he had been eating his mother's cooking for years, the fries were still delicious.

The family gathered around the dining table, enjoying a warm and harmonious breakfast. Of course, they were joined by a pale green-feathered owl named "Carly," who was Mrs. Smith's pet.

"Normally, the school should send the acceptance letter tonight. But even if it hasn't arrived yet, there's no need to worry. It's possible that you're still not old enough. However, such a situation is very rare."

Noticing her son's nervousness, Mrs. Smith comforted him. Jon nodded calmly, suppressing his anxiety. Half of the anxiety stemmed from finally entering Hogwarts, which he had thought about countless times in the past, while the other half was the concern that he might not be old enough to enroll this year. Although he was theoretically of the right age, unexpected circumstances always caused worry. He simply didn't want to get entangled with the trio of Harry Potter, at least until he had the power to protect himself.

Fortunately, his worries didn't come true. While they were halfway through breakfast, an owl flew in through the window and dropped a pale yellow envelope on the table before landing next to Carly, the owl.

The two owls pecked each other's beaks and then shared breakfast from Carly's food box.

Mrs. Smith reached out to add birdseed to the food box, while Jon picked up the letter with his father. The envelope was made of thick parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink, without a postage stamp.

Jon flipped the envelope over and saw a wax seal on top, with a coat of arms. The capital letter "H" was surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

Greenwich - Caitlin Avenue, No. 56 - For Mr. Jon Smith, who is having breakfast.

"Oh! The handwriting is really good."

Mr. Smith seemed even more excited than Jon, as if he himself was about to go to the magical school. "Let's open it and see what's written inside!"

At this moment, Jon, who had already calmed down completely, knew very well what was written inside. He had probably read that passage over a dozen times, after all, he had once been a child who loved "Harry Potter."
