fall at hogwarts

Chapter 185 Letter
After returning from Hermione's house that day, Ed and Papa Flamel were fined by Grandma Perenelle to clean up for a whole day.

Of course, there was nothing to do. The two house-elves in the family cleaned every corner of the room and didn't give Flame and Ed a chance at all.

Grandma Perenelle's warning meant more than punishment, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Mrs. Malkin's shop to chat with Mrs. Malkin on the day Ed and Papa Flamel were cleaning.

After that, Nan Wan on Ed's shoulder finally regained his spirit, so many people were able to see Nan Wan again, and Ed also had the opportunity to give it the letter that Dumbledore asked him to hand over to Nan Wan.

Nan Wan didn't even open the letter, but sniffed the envelope, "This is a letter from a month ago, and you just gave it to me now!", it actually smelled the time from the envelope.

Skillfully slashing a hole in the envelope with her claws, Nan Wan took out the letter with the tip of her wings. Judging by the appearance, Nan Wan should have received a lot of letters.A series of operations are very smooth.

Nan Wan held the letter and read it carefully, and Ed also leaned over because of curiosity:
Dear Wan'er, if I guessed correctly, you should have read this letter 37 days later.

"Cut, I have to show off in the letter." Nan Wan muttered when she saw this, and seeing that Ed was also reading her letter, she turned around to prevent him from reading it, and then continued to read:
How are you doing there?I'm so envious that you can go abroad.Still go to Hogwarts!I heard that there has been a lot of movement in the UK in recent years, and it's really great that you can join in the fun.

World tree selection...

"Hey! What are you looking at! Scumbag, it's impolite to peek at others, do you know that!"

Ed didn't see the rest of the letter, so Nan Wan folded the letter and flew out of the window to read it.When he came back, he also brought Ed a letter from the school, asking him to take the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross Station on September [-]st.

And in the letter, he listed the list of new books he will use this year.

Second Grade Reads: Standard Spells, Level [-], by Miranda Goshawk; The Complete Adventures of Lockhart...  

Seeing the contents of the letter, Ed ran to the stairs and shouted downstairs: "Dad! You won't be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year?"

"Of course! The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is changed every year. This is the rule!" Father Flamel replied impatiently, and then turned his attention back to the wizard chess board.

Papa Flamel was playing chess with the wizard left behind by Harry, and he had lost seven games in a row.Scratching his snow-white head, he secretly wondered: "Is Harry the best at chess? Or the chess pieces?"

"Oh."

After hearing Flamel's reply, Ed returned to his room and lay on the big bed, thinking about going to Diagon Alley to buy books tomorrow.Next week is the Muggle Open Day, and the parents of those Muggle-born wizards will take advantage of this day to take a good look around Diagon Alley.

Although it is impossible to tell the neighbors and other relatives about this bizarre magical world, they are still very willing to take a look at it a few more times.

If you don't go shopping for books tomorrow, Diagon Alley will be full of people from the day after tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ed got up and went to Diagon Alley.When he and Tori came back with big bags and small bags, they saw Papa Flamel coming back with an owl upside down in his hand.

Gray was holding a small brush and dustpan, ready to sweep up the dust and fleas that fell from the owl.

"Ed, these are all your letters."

Father Flamel still held three letters in the other hand. After seeing Ed coming back, he threw the letter to Ed and prepared to go to the garden with the owl: "This owl should be Draco Malfoy. Yes, I have to quickly repair the magic around me, how did they find it here?"

Papa LeMay has already set up magic around. Unless with Papa LeMay's permission, any animal that has come into contact with humans will not be able to come here.

Therefore, it stands to reason that it is impossible for these wizard's owls to send the letter.But this morning, four owls in a row circled the house.

One may be an accident, but four, this has to attract the attention of Papa Flamel.After handing the letter to Ed, he carried the owl to check whether the magic had weakened.

Ed went back to the second floor, sat at the desk, and took out a very delicate paper knife from the drawer. The handle was still engraved with golden patterns and a ruby.

The top letter is from Draco, with the ink pads deducted:
Dear Ed, I miss you so much, my mother and I are going to go book shopping in Diagon Alley next Wednesday, we can meet at Gringotts.

— Your roommate, Draco Malfoy.

The letter was short, only one sentence, and the handwriting was very scribbled, as if it had been written in a hurry.

Putting Draco's letter aside, Ed opened the following letter, which was written by Elizabeth:

Dear Ed:
I heard you went to Hermione's house! (an angry round face) How could you not tell me?I also want to be a guest at Hermione's house. (another angry round face) Also, it turns out you still know my father, the guy who met in some lab and sent you back to London.

One day when we were having dinner, he mentioned it unintentionally. As soon as I heard him say it, I knew it was you.Also, why didn't you write to me the whole vacation. (double an angry round face)

I have already made an appointment with Hermione and the others. I will go to Diagon Alley next Wednesday to buy textbooks. See you in Diagon Alley, shall we?
— Miss you Elizabeth
Then there was a letter from Harry and Hermione. The content of the letter was all about missing you, and then promised Elizabeth to go to Diagon Alley next Wednesday, and then meet at Gringotts.

It seems that at other times, in other places, we can't meet each other.However, Hermione already has the magical 'book', do I still need to buy a book?

"Couldn't you have sent the letter earlier?" Ed sighed, looking at the books on the table, he had already bought them all.

Recalling last year that Diagon Alley was already rubbing shoulders, and listening to Dumbledore say that there are more students this year than last year (so, why is the open day changed from one day to seven days?), Ed said I don't even want to go.

"You don't even think about it, those owls are already very powerful if they can find this place, and I hope they will come sooner?" Ed's words were once again despised by his own phoenix.

As a magical creature, Nan Wan's perception of magic is naturally much stronger than Ed's. She knows better than Ed's how powerful the magic that Lemay has set up around her is.

If those owls hadn't awakened the talent of their species, they would never have come here in their lifetime.
