HP Approaches the Magical World
Chapter 7 The Big House and the Elf
Jon doesn't feel that the matter of how many children to have is a temporary decision, but he is only an eleven-year-old kid, so what can he decide?
Looking at the expectant eyes of his parents on the opposite side, Jon was finally defeated by his aunt and grandmother's gentle gaze and Bella's curious eyes, and agreed to the request.
After all, Britain has a relatively small population. In order not to completely cut off the blood of wizards, having children is a big deal, and he also expressed his understanding.
As for living by himself...he can live at his grandmother's house, which is very close anyway.
"However, when I start school, you will come to see me off?"
"Oh, of course." Mr. Smith nodded quickly: "We will send you and Bella to the station together."
After all, he still wanted to see what platform nine and three quarters looked like.
Jon nodded. Although he knew that non-wizard parents might not be able to enter the platform, theoretically his father was a Squib. There are some places in this world that are different from the original book, just like the shops in Diagon Alley are not included in the original book. As shabby as described.
After dinner, the Smiths used the Floo network to return to Greenwich, but Jon stayed.
Bella Yang seemed the happiest. She usually stayed alone in the manor during her holidays, and there were no other wizard families living here, so no one played with her at all.
Now that she has a cousin to accompany her, and will always be with her in the future, she is very happy.
But Jon didn't want to play with Bella very much. Playing with a little girl in puberty would kill him.
"My dear sister, if you are really bored, why don't you discuss something about magic learning with me? By the way, tell me about Hogwarts. I think we must have some There's a lot to talk about."
His mind was filled with a whole "Harry Potter Spell Collection".
But even if he was practicing magic, he didn't want to move today. He used the Floo Network several times in a row, and wandered around Diagon Alley for a long time. His young body was really tired.
"Okay then, you go to bed first."
Bella confirmed that Jon was really tired, so she had to give up the plan to start entertaining tonight: "Then I'll teach you two simple magic tricks tomorrow, okay."
Jon nodded, and went back to the furnished guest room to sleep.
...
Mr. Smith moved very quickly. When Jon got up the next day, he heard the sound of a machine rumbling outside.
"What's going on outside?"
He got dressed and walked to the corridor. Bella was lying on the window looking at the house under construction opposite.
Because of the disappearance of the wizard's blood, the magic barrier of the Smith family's old house has long since disappeared, and the magic energy inside has also dissipated. Now it is an ordinary small manor.
Since it is too old to live in, it is natural to renovate it.
Jon withdrew his gaze from the construction workers, and suddenly saw Aunt May talking to an old man.
"Oh, that's the old housekeeper who was here to look after the house. He's getting old, so my uncle gave him a sum of money and asked him to go back." Bella explained in a timely manner.
Only then did Jon think of another question: "If there is no housekeeper, do I want to live alone in such a big house?"
"That's not true, grandma has prepared a big gift for you—it can't be considered a gift." Bella's voice was a little envious: "Part of your Smith family's inheritance belongs to grandma, but those inheritances are owned by grandma. It was used up, and I exchanged it for some more precious materials, so this time grandma bought you a house elf, which can be regarded as a housekeeper for you."
House-elf?
This gift is too big!
Jon naturally wouldn't believe it was because of those inheritances,
A declining family of wizards whose bloodlines have become thinned, part of the legacy left behind is placed in the treasury, and even if there is a lot left, it is not much.
It is probably because grandma loves her little grandson so much that she bought a house elf at a huge price. Jon doesn't know how much an elf is worth, but judging from the original book, the Weasley family is a house-elf as the sacred twenty-eight If one of the clans doesn't own an elf, it won't be cheap.
Is this what it feels like to be rich?
Jon Smith, the pure-blood wizard-to-be Hogwarts student who suddenly inherited the mansion and the treasury - and his grandmother was a rich woman - is content.
"By the way, Auntie didn't say how long it will take to renovate?"
Jon can't wait to live in his old house and meet his house-elf.
"It will probably take three or four days. By the way, my uncle also said that if you have any ideas about the decoration of the house, you can tell my mother to let those workers do it for you."
Jon nodded, turned and went downstairs to find his aunt.
"Hey, don't forget we're going to play together this afternoon!"
Bella's shout came from behind, and Jon didn't turn his head, but waved his hand to signal that he understood.
Now his mind is full of house design. In his previous life, he had no money and couldn’t afford a big house, but he still read a lot of decoration design. The lighting must be good. He doesn’t like the feeling of darkness. It will damage eyesight, just look at Dumbledore, wizards are also short-sighted.
He is also planning to imitate the magic practice room in the Room of Requirement, and create a similar room to practice spells... The library can't be left behind, there must be a place to store books and do research. He has not forgotten that he wants to become a magician Scholars' goals.
I feel that buying books will also be a big waste... It's better to buy second-hand books, maybe you will be like a half-blood prince, and maybe you will gain something else.
Jon, who was full of thoughts, shared his thoughts with his aunt. Mei Yang was not surprised by this nephew's novel idea. The child would often say things that were not suitable for his age when he was young. This is not true. strangeness.
Besides, the owner of this house is still Jon, and how to renovate should be according to Jon's ideas.
"But the practice room you want may take a while to come out. That kind of room needs to be reinforced by magic. After these Muggle workers are finished, my aunt will invite some wizards to help you cast a spell on the house."
Jon agreed with this point. Most of the wizard's houses need to be blessed with some protective spells such as "Muggle Repelling Curse", which he has already read in the original book.
"It's better to finish the work sooner. I still want to preview the magic that I will learn in the first grade before school starts."
Jon appropriately showed his anticipation for magic and school, which made Mei Yang even more happy.
"Don't worry, my aunt will fix it as soon as possible. You can go and learn first-year magic with your cousin. I think Bella will be very willing to tutor you."
