Wade Grey lay in front of the window and saw a gray owl perched on the fence outside the window. It stared at him seriously with its brown eyes, then suddenly lowered its head, spread its wings, and made a "cooing" sound.

  Vader had a somewhat odd look on his face.

  If he saw it correctly, it seemed that the owl had thrown a letter into its own mailbox?

  but...

  This is only 1991, and the Harry Potter novels haven't been published yet, right?

  It has been eleven years since he was reborn in this world. He has grown from a babbling baby to eleven years old. He has always thought that he was just reborn in the UK of his original world, and he has even planned the development of his life for this reason...

  He never thought... that he would receive an owl letter.

  Isn't this a materialistic world?

  But... since people can be reborn, then if magic exists... it seems... quite reasonable...

  —Right?

  —Or maybe it was just a bad joke.

  With some uncertainty in his heart, Wade opened the door and walked out. He subconsciously looked at the owl, and the owl's eyes followed him, turning its head slightly.

  I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Wade just feels that its eyes are full of spirituality.

  He held his breath, opened the mailbox, and took out the mysterious letter. When he saw the envelope clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank and his heart beat faster.

  The detailed address and "Mr. Wade Grey" were clearly written on the envelope. The parchment was extremely thick, and the emerald green ink was not a common color.

  Turning over the envelope, on the back was a crimson wax seal and a shield emblem, with the capital "H" surrounded by four animals: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

  No stamps.

  ——Yes! Owl as a messenger! Of course no stamps are needed.

  Vader took a deep breath and opened the envelope with slightly trembling fingers.

  Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

  Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

  Wade could not wait to skip the long list of titles and read directly to the following: [Dear Mr. Grey: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress (Female)]

  Wade read the letter over and over again, still unable to believe it - this was actually the world of Harry Potter?

  He unconsciously whispered, "Is this true? Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

  The owl stared at him with wise eyes, waited for a moment, then lowered its head to comb its feathers, tucked one foot up, turned its head 180 degrees, and looked at the scenery behind it.

  Wade was stunned for a moment, then turned around and quickly went back to the house, rushed into his father's study, found the best envelope, embossed and gold-dusted letter paper, and wrote solemnly with a feather pen of classical beauty and fragrant ink:

  "Dear Ms. Minerva McGonagall: I am very honored to receive your letter. If this is not a prank, then I am happy to study at your school, but I am not sure how to buy the study tools mentioned in the letter. I look forward to your guidance...

  With best regards and all the best!

  Vid Grey"

  The ink seeped into the letter paper and dried quickly. Wade folded it up and stuffed it into an envelope, writing "Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall (to be received)" on the cover.

  When he went out, he saw the owl still standing patiently on the fence waiting.

  Wade came closer and held up the letter: "Um... this is my reply. Please give it to Vice Headmistress Minerva McGonagall."

  The owl stretched out one claw and grasped the letter, then tilted its head and looked at him expectantly.

  "What else...oh, wait a minute!"

  Wade had an idea, and he went back to the house and grabbed a handful of nuts. After handing them to the owl, it just looked down, then swept them away with its wings in disdain, and flew away.

  Vader: "…"

  Don't want to eat it?

  Fortunately, it didn't drop the letter.  

  Back in the house, Wade sat at the table, unfolded the acceptance letter, read it again and again, his heart pounding.

  Only then did he begin to feel somewhat realistic about being accepted into Hogwarts.

  but...

  In the eleven years since he was reborn into this world, he had never discovered that he had any extraordinary abilities.

  There is no flying into a tree for no reason, no bending a spoon with the mind or making a pen fly out of thin air.

  Is there really magical energy in my body?

  Or is it because adults' thoughts are too rational and objective that they invisibly suppress the innate power in their bodies?

  Wade clenched his fist, then opened it again, but still didn't feel anything like "invisible magic flowing through the body."

  He stared at a teacup in front of him, concentrating on his imagination.

  "Bang!"

  The teacup suddenly swayed in the air without any force applied, then fell down, rolled on the table, and then slowly stopped shaking.

  Magic... is actually real...

  Vader stared at his palms, stunned.

  After he calmed down, he dialed a phone number that he knew by heart.

  "Mom... do you believe... that magic exists?"

  …

  Less than half an hour later, a car pulled up outside the door at lightning speed. Mr. and Mrs. Gray forgot to take out the car keys and hurried down.

  Wade went out to greet him, but before he could even say hello, he was hugged so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

  "Oh my God! Oh, my God! Wade, dear, you actually got accepted into Hogwarts - I'm so happy! Really... I've been waiting for this day for so long - I thought - I thought you were like us, without - without that chance -"

  Fiona, the mother, sobbed and said that she didn't care that her tears had smudged her makeup. Wade's father Ferdinand hugged them, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were wet.

  The more Wade listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Wait, what do you mean? You--" He broke free from his parents' suffocating embrace: "Do you all know Hogwarts?"

  "Of course!" Fiona wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My mother and your grandparents are all wizards. I have been looking forward to going to Hogwarts since I was a child. It's just..."

  Ferdinand put his hands around his wife and children's shoulders and pushed them into the house: "Let's talk inside—so that ordinary people won't see us."

  After some explanation, Wade finally understood the whole story.

  It turns out that his grandparents and grandmother were both wizards, and the two families had a good relationship. But because of the war, Fiona and Ferdinand, who were born in displacement, were both Squibs - that is, they had magic genes but did not have the ability to cast magic.

  In the war, it was difficult for wizards to protect themselves, let alone two Squibs? After confirming that they had no magical abilities, the two were sent to Muggle families for upbringing.

  Over the years, they have completely adapted to Muggle life, but they still have a longing for the magical world in their hearts.

  However, since he was born, Wade has never shown any magical abilities, and the two thought he was also a squib. In order to prevent the child from experiencing the pain of expectation to disappointment like themselves, they concealed the existence of magic.

  "I didn't expect - I didn't expect you to be a wizard at all... I mean - I've actually been waiting for a while, but it's already July 30th and you haven't received the letter yet... I thought..."

  Fiona cried and laughed, and was finally calmed down by the father and son and went to the bathroom to wash up.

  After calming down, Ferdinand looked at his eleven-year-old son, with worry in his eyes that could not be concealed:

  "Hogwarts... Oh, Wade... I really don't know, with your status, going to that school... is a good thing..."
