Chapter 15

Seeing the whole family looking at me like this.Mrs. Evans also knew that she might be getting too excited.

After thinking about it, she decided to tell her what she knew.If you don't understand it.The children are in school, and she has no way to supervise it.What's more, this is not a small matter. If you don't tell them all, what will happen if the children don't pay attention to it.

"Have you ever seen what our broom looks like?" asked Mrs. Evans.

People first look at me, and I look at yours.Then they all nodded and waited for the next article.Although I seldom do housework, anyone with eyes knows what a broom looks like.

"If you sit on it, what will happen? Or, if you sit on it, you can imagine how it feels." Seeing everyone nodding, Mrs. Evans continued without waiting for them to speak. stand up.

"Just riding up like this will rub against your body and make you feel uncomfortable. If you fly into the air, the whole body's strength will be pressed on the thin wooden pole, won't the place where it is in contact with the body be more uncomfortable? , more flustered?" This was very euphemistic.

"Is it because of this that mother objected to us riding broomsticks?" Lily felt that if she could fly freely in the sky, it would be uncomfortable, but she could bear it.

"No, no, no, of course it's more than that. I've read your amazing book before, which describes the development and changes of wizards over the years, such as the birth rate is getting lower, the population is gradually decreasing, etc. Later, it was discovered that wizards all have the habit of riding brooms, especially when they were teenagers, some young wizards began to get in touch with these. Therefore, I personally think that riding brooms is likely to have an impact on wizards’ fertility.”

Seeing Lily who was about to refute, Mrs. Evans held out her hand to stop her.After glancing at the others, he continued, "Because I was curious and worried that my babies might use these. So I went to check some information on this, and then went to the hospital and I inquired at the Chinese medicine store in Chinatown. It turns out that the act of riding a broom will indeed affect the fertility of the user. Especially the impact on minors is even greater.”

"My God," Petunia was shocked after hearing Mrs. Evans' explanation.This kind of thing had never occurred to her.She knew that the wizarding world lived in a tiny place with a very small population.Not to mention other places, even the number of people who go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry every year is very small.I remember that because I read fanhumanities, I went to check it out. The whole school has only about 20 teaching staff and 400 students.I heard that wizards have a long lifespan, but except for some specific families, such as the Weasley family, which will have many children, other families either have one or only two children.There are still many families that have become history. How difficult is it that riding a broom will really affect the fertility of wizards?

"Sifkins, you are a boy. So this behavior of riding a broom must not happen, you know?" Evans pointedly reminded Sifkins.

"I see, Mom." Sifkins blushed a little.Mrs. Evans treated Sifkins really well.Although the three children cannot be treated equally.But on the bright side, it can be done impartially.Because of this, Sifkins put all his pursuit of maternal love on Mrs. Evans.

"But Mom, what if the school has this course? Do you want to apply for exemption?" Petunia knew that Hogwarts had this course.

"If the school really has this course, it is natural to apply for exemption. I don't want my children to find out the problem I mentioned earlier. Of course, don't say the reason on the surface. What do you do in private? It’s okay to say it, but if you say it on the surface, things will become very complicated.” Mr. Evans took the question and said.How unfortunate it would be for a family without children.How could he have the heart to let his children accept this kind of thing.Even if it is possible, it will not work.

"Oh, I've decided. I'm going to college, and I'll be a pilot or a stewardess in the future." Lily, who had been struggling for a long time, said firmly with her fists clenched.The love for the sky finally made Lili think of a replacement method.

"Wow, wow." The grey-headed eagle, who was squatting on the side waiting for a reply, cried out indifferently.It's been a long time, do you want to reply, ink-stained human beings!

"Hey, why is it still here?" Lily asked in surprise.

Seeing the difference in the faces of the Evans couple, Sifkins pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

"It's waiting for our reply." Penny looked at the three people who were out of state and said.

Hearing what Petunia said, the three of them remembered that there was such a thing.After that, everyone looked at the content written in the notice.

"Petunia, look at this. Why do I feel like I fell into a zoo?" Lily pointed to a shield-shaped coat of arms on the letter paper, where there was a capital "h" surrounded by a lion, a Eagle, a badger and a snake.

"Uh, if you didn't tell me, you really didn't find out. You see, there are still students who can bring pets to school, but that toad, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel disgusting." Petunia cooperated with Lily, and looked at it with great imagination. talking.

"Didn't the above say that you can choose not to bring a toad, but bring something else?" Sifkins also joined the conversation between the two sisters.

"But even if we don't bring it, others will. If someone brings it in a dormitory, it's very unacceptable." Petunia was extremely dissatisfied.

"By the way, when it comes to the dormitory, I just remembered. You are going to board. How is the dormitory? How many people do you share? How is the lighting? Is the environment good? There is also a cafeteria. How is the food?" You are still growing, and if you don’t eat well, it will be very affected.” Mother Evans quickly took the parchment and read it from top to bottom, but was very disappointed.There was not even a word written about this matter.

"How about mom, let's reply first. Didn't it say that after replying to the letter, you can make an appointment for the school's professor to come to the house to help parents and students understand the situation?" Petunia looked at the anxious mother, thought for a while and comforted her. .

Afterwards, the family unified their opinions.Petunia then used scissors to cut off the blank space under the notification letter according to the instructions in the letter, and asked Siferkins to write a reply in his beautiful cursive English.

The rest of the parchment was properly kept by Mr. Evans, and what he meant was that tomorrow he would find someone to make a glass shelf box and put it in the study as a decoration.

Using the rope tied when the parchment came, I tied the reply letter to the owl's leg again, and gave some water and a piece of bread as Tong Renwen said.This made the owl fly back.

"Petunia, I also want an owl like this. By the way, Sev, what about you? What kind of pet do you want?" Lily looked at the owl flying away, and asked her brothers and sisters a little bit excitedly.

Petunia said: "You don't need to buy too many owls. Let's keep one at home. Mom and Dad can write to us at any time. However, although I really want an owl, I want a cat more. I don't know Are cats in the wizarding world as obedient and sensible as owls. How about you, Sif?"

"Whatever, I don't like these things very much. But I can bring you an owl." A student can only bring one pet, and if Petunia wants two, he can give up his place.

"Okay, children. It's getting late. You shouldn't stay at home anymore. The reply letter has been sent. Then the specific things will wait for the professor from the school to come next weekend. It's too late for you to discuss it. Said To be honest, I still don't really want to know why you go to such a strange school in that place." Mr. Evans still has some complaints about the school his children chose.

"Mom, magic is amazing. I heard that as long as you learn the spells, your life will be very convenient. So if you don't go to this school, wouldn't our magical power be wasted." Petunia repeated with a good temper The answer that has been said many times.

Mr. Evans is really reluctant to let his children go to school so far away, and he can only come back twice a year, so as long as he has time, he will persuade the children. It would be the best thing if they can change their minds.

Not that Mr Evans is short-sighted.It's just that as an adult, he knows more and more how fierce the competition in this society will be in the future, and he also hopes that his children can have a good background, at least not to lose at the starting line.But this does not mean that he likes to let his children go to school in strange places that he has never heard of.

This unreliable feeling really made his heart flutter.He didn't know if the place was dangerous, and he didn't know if his young children were old enough to be independent from their parents.Fear of the unknown made him very repulsive about things in the magical world.

Sometimes, or many times, he was very grateful that he had adopted the child Sifkins.And this child is as good-natured as he thought, and he loves his family.With Sifkins by his side, at least the safety of the two daughters is more assured.Be grateful for your moment of kindness.Not only did I and my wife have an extra son, but my daughters also had an extra brother who could accompany and protect them.

In the following days, the three siblings of the Evans family lived as usual.During the day, each had their own class, and only at night, the three elder sisters would discuss everything about the magical world in the chemical laboratory in the basement, which was specially arranged for Siferkins.

Time ran forward bit by bit.The second weekend in July, nine o'clock in the morning.After the whole family had their meal early, they sat in the living room and waited for the teacher to come to the school.

When the hour and minute hands pointed to the determined position at the same time, the nine o'clock bell rang.Accompanied by the bell was a regular knock on the door.
