First Trial of Magic

That night, Albert showed his family his new Hogwarts school uniform, a plain black work gown and a black peaked hat, nothing special.

If you insisted, it looked stupid, especially the damn peaked hat. If you wear it on your head and go out for a walk, there must be a good chance of being called a wacko, at least Albert thinks that.

Niya was very satisfied with her gift. She wore a cloak that was much larger than her own, and she was wearing the black peaked hat on her head. She was posing in the living room. Herb took a photo of the two with a camera.

Daisy sat on the sofa and read Albert's history of magic silently. She wanted to know more about where her son was going.

"Mom, look at it, it's a living chocolate frog!" Niya opened the chocolate frog's packing box and couldn't help giggling when she saw the chocolate frog jumping away.

When Herb had gained experience, he quickly reached out and grabbed the chocolate frog that fell on the table and handed it to Niya.

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 food really edible?" Daisy raised her eyebrows and looked suspiciously at the chocolate frog that looked like a living creature in front of her, doubting whether it was safe to eat.

"Mom, the chocolate frog is edible, it tastes very good!" Niya had bitten off the head of the chocolate frog, she was very happy to eat, and her face was covered with some melted chocolate.

"Okay, wipe your face clean, you look like a little tabby cat!" Albert handed his handkerchief to Nia, turned his head to look at Tom, who was facing the owl, picked it up, and put it on the sofa. He said, "Tom, don't bully it."

Albert took out the owl nuts from the package, poured some on the plate in the cage, and murmured, "What should it's name be? Jerry."

Albert thought for a while and wanted to give this snow owl this name.

Tom and Jerry.

Although there was no this world, Albert thinks the name is quite happy.

Tom seemed to perceive the host's malice and did not respond to Jerry.

"Albert, your naming sense is so terrible!" Niya reached out her hand and picked up the owl, rubbed her face and said, "It should be called Shera, it's a good name."

"Why not call it Sherabi?" Albert thought wickedly.

"Albert, the person in the photo suddenly disappeared!" Herb was surprised to find that the person in the chocolate frog painting had disappeared.

"Photo?" Albert looked at his father, holding a picture of a chocolate frog in his hand.

"Maybe, the wizard's picture would have moved? Chocolate frogs can move, why can't the characters in the picture move?"

"That's right!" Herb accepted this explanation. He turned the picture over and read the text behind it: "Albus Dumbledore...the current headmaster of Hogwarts, and he is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time."

"Oh, that's the old man who sent the letter to Albert." Daisy took the chocolate frog picture from her husband, wanting to see who sent the invitation letter to her son.

Unfortunately, the picture is empty.

Daisy turned over the chocolate frog picture and continued to read the remaining parts, "Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses for dragon blood, and working with partner Nicholas Flamel who is very effective in alchemy. Professor Dumbledore loves chamber music and ten-pin bowling."

"Dragon blood?" Daisy widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "There are dragons in this world? And, Nicholas Flamel, I remember he was..."

"Famous alchemist in the 14th century." Albert added: "The legendary Philosopher's Stone was created then. It is said that the Philosopher's Stone can be turned into gold and can make people immortal. If he is still alive, it shows that the Philosopher's Stone immortalized Nicholas Flamel. "　　"Okay, Daisy, be happy." Herb reached out his arm around his wife, and softly comforted, "The situation is not as bad as you think, especially when we don't know the magic world, it's better not to be closeminded. Don't make judgments, and you should believe our son, he is a genius, he can show his talents wherever he goes."

"By the way, Albert, can you use magic?" Niya rushed towards Albert, grabbed his hand, and shook it gently like a coquettish, looking at Albert expectantly with her small face. I want to see you do magic."

"This... let me study it first, I don't know how to use it now." Albert reached out and messed up Niya's hair.

"I hate it." Niya covered her head, ran to Daisy's side, and shared pumpkin pie with her.

Albert began to flip through Miranda Gosak's "Standard Spells, Elementary", then took out his wand from the box and prepared for his first attempt at casting.

"Don't, Albert, don't try here!" Herb's face twitched, thinking of what happened earlier in the wand shop.

"You should have a little confidence in your son!" Albert raised his wand and tapped it lightly, chanting softly: "Lumos"

The tip of the wand flashed suddenly, and then went out again.

"Just now, there was a flash at the top of that stick, right?" Daisy said uncertainly.

"Yes, it flashed a bit, really worthy of being my son!" Herb discovered that Albert could use magic immediately, with undisguised pride on his face.

"Albert, what was that just now." Niya asked excitedly.

"Um, it's a light spell, it should be a spell that is easier to master, I'm trying it." Albert checked his panel secretly, and sure enough, there was a glowing spell in the skill list.

The spell is still at level 0, but it has gained 7 points of experience.

Only if I reach level 1, it can be mastered. Only 100 points of experience are needed to go from level 0 to level 1, but Albert does not intend to use the stored precious experience to upgrade the Glowing Charm to level 1. Even if there are only 100 points of experience, it is quite precious.

"I'll try again." Albert cleared his throat and chanted the spell again, the tip of the wand glowed pale again.

Albert tried a total of five times before he could barely master the spell. He only needs to concentrate a little bit, and the light on the wand did not disappear easily.

Seeing this scene, the other three couldn't help applauding. Although it was just a simple glowing spell, in the eyes of the Andersons, it was quite remarkable.

"Albert, Albert, let me try. I want to try it too." Niya threw on 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."

"Stingy."

"This is not a petty problem. The wand itself is dangerous. I don't understand anything. What should I do if I am in danger." Albert immediately raised his face and sacrificed his relationship with his sister. "I won't teach you how to use magic."

"Albert is right." Herb hurriedly said, "You should wait until he is familiar with magic before teaching you."

"Okay!" Niya pouted dissatisfiedly, and still compromised, but she looked a little disappointed, she was envious of Albert's ability to use magic.

"Your grandfather, plans to come over these two days. However, I think we'd better visit him together, lest we have to run and lie down." Herb left some candy and gifts from the magic world. He knew that his father might not eat them, but he must be happy to see them.
