A friendly day at Hogwarts

"One day, Principal Dippet told him that there seemed to be something wrong with the Book of Admission to Hogwarts-"

Seeing the confused expressions of everyone in the Lin family and Lu Changqing, Newt stopped and explained.

"Oh, by the way, the Book of Admission is a book left by the founder of Hogwarts, and there is also a matching Pen of Acceptance. Whenever a baby with magical talents is born, the Pen of Acceptance will Writing his name in the Book of Admission means they are allowed to come to Hogwarts and learn magic."

The old patriarch thought for a moment and asked: "You mean, there is some connection between that book and Su Su's incident?"

"I think so." Newt nodded. "As far as I know, since the day Hogwarts was established, there has never been any error in the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance for thousands of years. Everyone who is qualified has never made any mistake." Children who learn magic, whether they are born into a wizarding family or not, will have their names recorded. More importantly, their names will already appear in the book from the day they are born."

After hearing this, Glenn had already understood and probably guessed the problem in the Book of Access.

"The Book of Admission and the Pen of Admission are kept in a mysterious room in one of the towers of Hogwarts Castle, where Headmaster Dippet loves to be alone and observe the way they work. Normally, new names appear. The latest page in the Book of Admission, arranged one by one in order, means that after 11 years, they will receive the Hogwarts admission notice."

Newt continued.

"The strange thing is that one day, Principal Dippet suddenly discovered that their working methods had changed for no reason. The book of admission suddenly flipped forward several pages, and the pen of acceptance appeared on that page again. I added a name, and then everything returned to normal. And on that page, there were all little wizards born six years ago."

"Six years ago..." the old patriarch mused, "could it be that the new name was Lin Su? Or as you call it in the West - Su Lin?"

Newt nodded and said, "Albus didn't mention the specific name to me originally, but now it seems that she should be Glenn's mother."

"So, after Su Su disappeared, she was transported to England?" The old patriarch's wife wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Glenn, "Doesn't that mean..."

The old patriarch also cast his gaze over, a little more concerned and distressed than when they first met.

Lu Changqing on the side reminded: "In this case, why not let's carry out blood recognition as soon as possible. If Glenn is really a descendant of the Lin family in the East China Sea, it is better to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan as soon as possible."

"Brother Lu is right. I will go and prepare now. Please move to the ancestral hall." A middle-aged man beside the old patriarch said and quickly left the living room.

Everyone also got up and headed to the back mountain ancestral hall together.

There is little difference in the blood-recognition rituals of each family.Like the Lin family in Lingnan, gold plates and silver needles have been prepared in the Lin family ancestral hall.

The young patriarch, who had just left the reception room, stood beside the chief desk, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Glenn and the old patriarch sat across from each other at the long table. The long needle floated in the air, pricked their fingers, and their blood dripped into the gold plates.

Different from the scene that appeared in the Lin family in Lingnan, this time after Glenn's blood fell into the plate, the auspicious cloud patterns on the edge of the plate suddenly lit up, and the halo circulated, turning into a strange beast with a sheep's head, a lion's body, and two wings on its back. light and shadow.

At the same time, the two drops of blood on the plate swirled and blended together without any resistance.

The patriarch's wife, who was looking forward to it, had already burst into tears.

"Child..." She held Glenn's hand, her voice trembling, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Although he successfully found his family, Glenn felt complicated when he saw his grandmother, whom he met for the first time, crying like this.

The old patriarch was also helped to stand up and looked at Glenn quietly without saying a word, but he was already in tears.

Their biological daughter, who was regarded as the apple of their eye, had been missing for 40 years, but now they suddenly learned that the daughter they had been searching for for decades was no longer alive.How can such complicated and unspeakable emotions not make people cry?

Glenn pursed his lips and looked at the two old people with complicated eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said: "Grandpa...grandma..."

"Good boy... you and your mother have suffered so much these years..." The second elder was stunned for a while before responding, and tears couldn't stop flowing down the bank.

The young patriarch was the son of the Lin family who had witnessed his sister disappear. Although his mind was spinning a thousand times at this moment, he could barely control his emotions because of the presence of outsiders. He quickly said: "Father, mother, there are many guests here. It’s not appropriate to lose etiquette. Now that Glen’s nephew has recognized his ancestor and returned to his family, there is still time for a leisurely chat.”

"That's right." The old patriarch nodded repeatedly, wiped the tears on his face, showed an apologetic smile to Lu Changqing, Newt and others, and said, "I'm really sorry that I missed my daughter so much that I made you laugh. Xun'er has given instructions. The food and wine are ready in the kitchen, please come with me."

Everyone smiled to express their understanding and followed him to the banquet hall.

Although Mrs. Lin no longer shed tears, she still held Glenn's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that her lost grandson would disappear without a trace like her daughter back then.

The dining table in the banquet hall is already filled with delicacies, and under the influence of magic, they are still in the same state as when they were freshly cooked.

Yushan, where the Lin family is located, is within the boundaries of Haizhou City in Donghai Province, but because it is adjacent to Dongshan Province, the cuisine is based on Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines and incorporates some styles of Lunan cuisine, which is called Xuhai cuisine.

The famous "Farewell My Concubine" is a typical representative of Xu Haicai.

Food is the most important thing for the people. This is a wise saying that the Chinese people have believed in for thousands of years.During these days of running around, British people like Newt finally realized this.

The chefs in these long-established families are among the best in the industry.

Farewell My Concubine, Yangfang Hidden Fish, Pengcheng Fish Balls, Four Truths Balls, Yangxin Duck...

Mrs. Lin specially arranged Glenn to sit next to her. During the dinner, she kept adding food to his plate. He ate until his mouth was shiny, but he did not dare to stop.

Even if you put down your chopsticks for a moment, you will see a small mountain pile up immediately.

Glenn's uncle Lin Xun, who he had just met, introduced the origins of these famous dishes one by one. Newt tasted them from time to time and enjoyed listening to them. Especially the farewell to my concubine, he was very interested.

Because he didn't know the historical allusions to the conflict between Chu and Han, Lin Xun had to stop halfway through the story and start again from the story of the overlord of Western Chu and the great ancestor Liu Bang.
