The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Shut up!"

The romantic atmosphere created by the TV series was instantly shattered, and Lily screamed in despair.

Albus continued rambling, "Don't they need to study? They're just students at a magic school! If they were Hogwarts students, Professor McGonagall would be furious..."

"You're so annoying!"

Lily stood up and lunged at her brother, baring her teeth and claws, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Albus nimbly dodged it.

While dodging, he waved his wand to change the TV channel, and the voice of the commentator immediately came from the magical TV, accompanied by cheers.

"Harry Potter has spotted the Golden Snitch! He's already in pursuit! Oh! His adversary is also on his trail..."

"Look! It's Dad's game!"

On the television screen, Harry's figure nimbly glides through the air on his broomstick.

Albus's eyes lit up, and he ignored Lily, sitting on the sofa and watching intently.

Lily, standing behind him, was clearly even angrier and silently raised her wand.

Without turning his head, Albus draped his wand over his shoulder.

"Avoid your weapons."

A flash of red light appeared, and Lily's wand flew up and landed in Albus's outstretched hand.

"Albus!"

Lily yelled and clenched her fists.

Albus turned around and made a face.

"Albus!"

At that moment, an even louder sound came from upstairs.

"Are you bullying your sister again?!"

Ginny came downstairs with a "thump thump thump" and stared at her son.

“No, Mom,” Albus said, shrinking back. “We’re just stopping Lily from watching those silly lovey-dovey TV shows.”

As he spoke, he became increasingly assertive and nodded in agreement.

“Those illogical TV shows would turn Lily into an idiot and make her date some silly boy at school.”

"I won't!" Lily retorted loudly, sounding a little guilty.

Ginny came downstairs and whispered to Lily, "Oh, darling, you're only in third grade. Maybe it's a bit too early for you to be in a relationship."

Lily muttered under her breath, "That's not fair. Uncle Ron said you liked Daddy before you even started first grade..."

"cough!"

Ginny coughed awkwardly.

She glared at Albus, then said gently to Lily, "Back then, I was just idolizing him. Your father was very famous, and all the children in the wizarding world idolized him. We officially got together when I was in fifth grade."

“Oh, Lily must have a boy she likes,” Albus exclaimed.

"I didn't!" Lily stomped her foot angrily.

Just then, the narrator's loud voice came from the magic television again.

"He caught it! Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch! He's won the game!"

"Oh! Dad won!"

Lily immediately forgot her anger and went to watch TV.

The scene shows a close-up of Harry, who is holding the Golden Snitch high in his hand with a bright smile on his face.

Despite his advanced age and the deep wrinkles around his eyes, he remains an excellent seeker.

"Is Daddy about to retire?" Lily asked softly.

Ginny said, "That's right, this is the last year of his career."

Just then, the door opened, and a tall figure walked in from outside.

"Oh, did Daddy win again?"

The newcomer had a handsome young face with a bright smile, just like Harry on television.

"Oh! James!"

Lily cheered with delight and rushed over to hug her older brother, asking him questions incessantly.

"You're back! How was it? Was Asgard University fun? How is it different from Hogwarts? By the way, have you found a girlfriend yet?"

“There are too many problems. I remember writing to you before.” James raised his hand and gently tapped her head. “Besides, we should video chat with the Magic Phone more often.”

Lily pouted, "I want to hear you tell me about your college life! I'm so curious about everything there!"

Seeing that Ginny and Albus were looking at him curiously, James decided to sit down and have a good talk with them.

"Let me ask first."

Albus asked the question he most wanted to ask first.

"First of all, congratulations on getting into Mr. Trollope's 'Rimbaud Classroom'! Tell me quickly, is Mr. Trollope's teaching interesting? What does he teach you? Can it make you as strong as him?"

His eyes lit up when he spoke of Mr. Trollope, filled with admiration.

“Here we go again.” Lily couldn’t help but pout. “I don’t idolize my favorite celebrities like this…”

Albus rolled his eyes dramatically. "Those celebrities are just actors. How can they be compared to Mr. Trollope..."

Lily continued, "Mr. Trollope created an independent magical world; he is the greatest wizard of the 21st century..."

She shrugged. "I already know what you said by heart."

"you……"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, James quickly stopped them.

"Alright, alright," he said. "Do you still want to hear what I have to say?"

Upon hearing him say that, Lily and Albus immediately became "obedient" and quiet down.

James began to recount his college experiences.

"Although Asgard has many excellent professors who have each established their own desirable classrooms, the 'Rimbaud Classroom' still has the most applicants..."

"Professor Trollope has set up challenges to test us. We need to use all sorts of knowledge to pass his tests: transfiguration, spells, alchemy..."

"The specific details of the challenge? Oh, that's confidential. In short, he's testing a wizard's overall abilities..."

"...In the end, only ten students were admitted, and I was one of them..."

"Classes are very interesting. Unlike at Hogwarts, there are fewer theoretical classes at university; most of the time is spent on practical classes..."

"...We also accompanied Professor Trollope to the Muggle world to help the wizards who originally lived in South America relocate..."

"...Next school year we'll be going to the magic institute in the Far East..."

James recounted the story with great enthusiasm, while Lily and Albus listened with rapt attention, their expressions filled with envy.

Ginny sat to the side, listening to the children's conversation, and couldn't help but think back to her student days at Hogwarts.

Who could have imagined that the senior I once knew so well would eventually become the most powerful wizard in the entire magical world...

James's "storytelling" lasted all afternoon, only stopping when Harry returned home, but Lily felt it wasn't enough.

After dinner, she started pestering her father again to tell her about the elective classroom he opened in Asgard.

Harry, however, was unwilling to say more.

"You'll find out when you graduate from Hogwarts and get accepted into Asgard," he said to his youngest daughter with a smile.

"That takes too long!"

Lily was very unhappy.

"You didn't tell me how you sorted into houses before I even started Hogwarts! I was so worried I couldn't sleep before school started!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Side Story 004. Noah's Fantastic Journey (Part 1)

July 2022, Hastings, England.

After breakfast, 11-year-old Noah went outside.

This was the start of summer vacation after graduating from elementary school, and he was preparing to go out to sea with his father's fishing boat to experience the storms.

Just then, he saw a gentleman dressed in a strange black robe and wearing a pointed hat suddenly appear outside his yard gate.

When did he get there?

Noah muttered something and went to the gate of the courtyard.

"Hello, sir," he asked politely, "how can I help you?"

The other party responded politely, "Hello, I'm here to see you, Mr. Evans."

"Me?" Noah looked at the other person in surprise.

Why would a strangely dressed adult come looking for me?

The other person then said, "Noah Evans, 11 years old, right?"

“It’s me.” Noah nodded.

He looked up at the other person's pale face and dark eyes, and suddenly felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Noah's father, Tarquin Evans, came out of the house at that moment.

Takun is a tall and strong man whose job as a fisherman at sea makes him look older than his actual age.

"Who are you?" He looked warily at the stranger who was speaking to his son at the door.

“I am Jacob Kent,” the other party replied. “I am a teacher from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, here to enroll your child.”
