Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Chapter 2 I want to escape but I can't

"Dad! Why have I never heard of such a thing?"

Adam's grandparents were also full of mobility, so they took the international channel of the Ministry of Magic and arrived at Adam's house before lunch.

During this period, Ms. Li, who was introduced to the wizarding world by the old Reeds and his wife, became furious as soon as her parents arrived.

Although my husband had no contact with the wizarding world and regarded wizards as fairy tales, he still heard about them before confirming that Hogwarts did not send the admission notice.

Why have I known nothing about this since I was a child?

Adam's grandmother was asking Adam to talk about household matters, so she had no choice but to ask her old father.

"The way we judge whether a child has cultivation potential is different from that in the UK. When the child is in charge of the week, we will mix objects with spiritual energy into the items. If the child has the talent for cultivation, the child will naturally be equipped with spiritual energy. objects attract.”

Adam’s grandfather spread his hands:

"When you held on to the golden abacus and didn't even look at the wooden sword, copper coins, and jade pendant next to it, we knew you didn't have the talent for cultivation - but you did have the talent for business. How many miles apart are you siblings? You are the best at making money.”

Ms. Li choked, then frowned and asked:

"Then what happened to Adam? Although he was born in England, didn't you catch him when he was a child? Didn't you put that... spiritual energy thing in him?"

"Let him go, but he grabbed a book that has no spiritual energy. It turns out that he is really good at reading. It's not like when you were a child, he would go to the tree to catch you even if you were asked to read..."

"dad!"

Ms. Li's cheeks were slightly red.

"Ahem, I clearly remember that the book has no spiritual energy, so Adam should not have the talent for cultivation. Is the standard here in the UK different from ours?"

Li Ziquan stroked the beard on his chin, suddenly wondering whether those in his family who were considered to have no talent for cultivation were also left out.

"It's not impossible..."

"Anyway, it's a good thing that Adam received the admission notice to Hogwarts. It shows that Adam has the talent to become a wizard."

Old Reed clapped his hands and looked at Adam:

"Grandpa will take you to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy the things you need to prepare!"

"Tomorrow will still be..."

"grandfather……"

"Grandma also..."

"Wait a moment!"

Adam suddenly raised his voice, quieting the room that was a little noisy for a while.

"I don't want to go to Hogwarts."

After hearing this, not to mention what the four old people thought, Adam's parents first remembered their original purpose of returning home.

"What?! Why?"

Before the couple could figure it out, Old Reed's voice interrupted their thoughts:

"Do you want to remain a Muggle?"

As he spoke, the old wizard took out his wand and wanted to show it to his grandson.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a Muggle."

Adam glanced quickly at his parents:

"And I just don't want to go to Hogwarts. There should be other schools in the world where you can learn magic, right?"

"Why?!"

Old Reed was even more surprised, and there was even a bit of grievance in his voice:

"Hogwarts is the best wizarding school in the world!"

The other three old men present who did not graduate from Hogwarts glanced at Old Reed in unison.

"Don't be so startled, you're scaring the child."

Grandma Emma moved her fingers, and old Reed was pulled by the waistband and sat on the sofa with a bang. Then Emma held Adam's hand:

"Child, there is indeed more than just Hogwarts, a magic school in the world, but why don't you want to study at Hogwarts?"

"Well..."

Adam hesitated and said:

"Because I have an ominous feeling that Hogwarts is not very safe."

"With Dumbledore here, Hogwarts is the safest place for magic in the world -"

The scarf directly blocked Old Reed's mouth as if it had come alive. Emma frowned and turned her head:

"Shut up, if Dumbledore was omnipotent, our family wouldn't have to go to China."

Adam's grandmother Emma was originally French. After encountering the terrorist attacks organized by Grindelwald in France, she moved to the UK where Dumbledore was, and met Old Reed in the UK.

After the two got married and had children, they encountered the rise of Voldemort and moved to China for the safety of their squib son. Adam's parents also met at that time.

She can clearly understand that even if Dumbledore can finally solve the crisis, it does not mean that Dumbledore can guarantee that no one will die in the crisis.

At the same time, she did not take her grandson's premonition to heart. Adam had been smart since he was a child and would not talk nonsense. The wizard had a strong premonition about something in the future... It was not without precedent.

Grindelwald, who destroyed her original home, was a wizard with the gift of prophecy.

However, despite this, Emma still frowned and said:

"The decision between the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance is irreversible. It contains extremely ancient and powerful magic. Since you received the letter from Hogwarts, it means that your name was written on it when you were born. , I’m afraid it’s impossible to go to other magic schools.”

Adam was stunned, he didn't expect this.

"What about transferring? I can enroll first but not go to school, and transfer directly to another magic school."

"I haven't heard of any precedent for this, but we can write to Dumbledore and ask him. He is your future headmaster."

Although he said so, looking at his grandmother's face, Adam knew that this path would probably not work. He thought that the magic in the admission book should not be so easy to fool.

"Then take a leave of absence? Just say that I am not in good health and wait a few years..."

"That's even worse. If you don't guide the power in your body correctly at the right age, your body will be damaged and may attract some bad things."

Seemingly seeing that Emma couldn't bear to dispel Adam's hope, Grandma Shen Derong took over the conversation and looked at Emma again.

"That's right. Little wizards don't know how to control magic, and magic riots may occur. It's very dangerous, and we can't teach you these safely and comprehensively at home."

"... Oh, okay."

Adam sighed and had to accept the fact that he seemed to really have to go to Hogwarts.

But the good news is that from this point of view, as long as he learns the spell, he can control magic, and it should be feasible to apply for a leave of absence after finishing the first year of school.

In fact, the first year at Hogwarts was relatively safe. As long as you avoid the trapdoor, Professor Quirrell is still safe. The Weasley twins didn't get hurt even when they threw snowballs at Voldemort.

"In that case, don't send a letter to Mr. Dumbledore."

If you can't change the status quo and still attract Dumbledore's attention, Adam might encounter some dangers that he wouldn't have encountered otherwise.

"Well, let's write a reply to Hogwarts. Tomorrow we'll take you to Diagon Alley. There are many magical things there. You'll like it."

Emma touched Adam's head, looked at the worry on her grandson's face, and made a decision secretly.
