Chapter 322 Admission Notice
The great snowy owl outside the window immediately flew in without any hesitation, gracefully landing on the table in front of Adam Bailey, tilting its head and looking him over as if to confirm something.
Then he lifted one leg and handed over a parchment letter he was holding.
The whole family looked surprised when they saw the great snowy owl, which was nearly a meter tall.
"What a big and beautiful owl! Whose is it?" Mr. Bailey's wife asked curiously.
Adam Bailey, seeing the snowy owl hand him the letter, asked in surprise, "Is this for me?"
The Great Snowy Owl nodded in a human-like manner, its expression somewhat impatient, as if urging him to sign for the package quickly.
Seeing his eldest son hesitate, Mr. Bailey said excitedly, "Adam, this great snowy owl is the lord's messenger! Quickly, accept the letter!"
"The lord's messenger?!" Upon hearing this, the whole family showed expressions of shock.
Why would the lord send a letter? And why is it addressed to Adam?
Shocked and confused, Adam took the letter and read it carefully.
Others also gathered around, watching with great curiosity.
The back of the letter was sealed with a red wax seal, which was decorated with heraldic symbols surrounding the letter "H," featuring images of a phoenix, a dragon, a thunderbird, and a basilisk.
Turning it over, the recipient's name and address were written in emerald green ink.
"At No. 21, White Hill Neighborhood, Dragon Street, Hogsmeade, on the right side of the first floor, next to the dining table. Recipient: Mr. Adam Bailey."
Adam Bailey was full of surprise and read the words on the cover of the letter in his hand.
The others were also quite surprised.
"This is amazing! This is incredible! How did it do that?" Adam exclaimed in disbelief. "How did it know I was sitting at the table? Was someone watching me from outside?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but peek out the window, wondering if someone was standing outside watching the letters that had been sent from here.
Mr. Bailey was surprised, but not at all. He waved his hand and said in a tone full of reverence and faith, "Don't doubt it. The lord doesn't have the time to spy on a child like you. It may seem unbelievable, but for the lord, knowing your exact location is a piece of cake!"
"Believe me, I even doubt that there is anything in this world that the Lord cannot do!" Mr. Bailey said passionately.
Upon hearing his words, the whole family showed their agreement, and they were all filled with faith in their lord.
In their eyes, the lord was no different from a god, both being omnipotent.
"Alright, quickly open the letter and see what it says!" Mr. Bailey urged his eldest son expectantly.
Others were equally curious and excited.
When the letter was opened, it contained two parchments and a silver badge, the same coat of arms as the red wax seal on the letter's cover.
Adam looked at the silver badge with a puzzled expression, but couldn't see anything unusual about it, so he put it on the table and continued to look at the contents of the parchment.
"Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Duyle the Black (Lord of Hogsmeade-Bri-Isengard, Wizard Supreme, Lord of Dragons, Ogre Nemesis, Troll Slayer, Corpse Slayer, Tree Cutter)"
Dear Mr. Pele:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed are the required books and equipment—
List.
The semester is scheduled to begin on September 1st. We will be waiting for your reply by July 31st.
Vice Principal: Edward Note: The silver badge enclosed is a timed door key. It will be activated at 10:00 AM on August 1st, transporting you to Diagon Alley to purchase your school books and equipment. Please do not miss the time.
"So this badge is a door key?" Adam picked up the silver badge on the table in surprise, then asked doubtfully, "But I don't think I need this. Diagon Alley isn't far from our house, we can just walk there, right?"
"Dad, what are we going to do with this door key? Are we going to use it to go to Diagon Alley?"
Mr. Bailey looked at the silver badge and exclaimed, "So that's why some of my colleagues in the Transportation Department's Key Office were working overtime the other day—they were making keys!"
He then chuckled and ruffled his eldest son's hair. "Don't worry about the key. I guess there's a key in every acceptance letter. After all, not everyone lives as close to Diagon Alley as we do and doesn't need it."
"Alright, quickly check the other page of the letter to see what we need to buy, so we can prepare in advance."
Adam obediently placed the second parchment on top.
The notice listed the necessary items for enrollment: a black robe, a pointed wizard's hat, protective gloves, a winter cloak, a series of textbooks, and other equipment such as a wand and a cauldron.
Looking at the shopping list, Mr. Bailey glanced at his son and the other family members, and said with a smile:
"These things should all be available in Diagon Alley, especially wands. Adam has always wanted a wand, so we can go and buy them in advance. It'll be good to avoid August 1st, otherwise it will definitely be very crowded that day."
Upon hearing about buying a wand, Adam's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Daddy, when are we going to buy a wand? Let's go now!"
Mr. Bailey understood his son's eagerness and desire. After discovering his son's magical talent, he couldn't wait to go to the wand shop to buy him a wand.
However, Mr. Bill, the owner of the wand shop, refused Mr. Bailey's request, saying that children's magic is not stable enough and they need to wait until they are eleven or twelve years old before they can have a wand.
Mr. Bailey therefore gave up buying a wand for his son and waited until today.
However, he shook his head at his excited and expectant son, "No, Adam, it's too late today. Let's go tomorrow and buy everything that needs to be purchased in the letter all at once."
Upon hearing this, Adam had no choice but to abandon his idea of going now and look forward to tomorrow.
At the same time, like the Pele family.
In Hogsmeade, Brie, Eisengard, and even further afield, they received acceptance letters delivered by owls.
The tranquility of Riverhorse, the home of the Dunedams, is shattered by a letter from Hogwarts.
The people of Dunedan were astonished when they saw the letter sent by the Great Snowy Owl, especially the one that was so detailed, even specifying the address of the bedroom.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, I was both surprised and puzzled.
They never expected that the wizard lord of Windcloud Peak would recruit students, and even recruit their own children from the Dunedan people.
This left them very hesitant, unsure of what to do.
Over the years, many of them have witnessed the wizards and know the wonders of magic.
They were naturally happy that their child could learn magic, but the thought of going to Hogwarts Castle to study made them hesitate for a moment.
As it happened, their chieftain Aragorn was in the tribe's territory at that time, so the family that received the letter went to visit Aragorn and seek his advice.
Aragorn, of course, would not refuse such a good thing, after all, he had the wand made for him by Duy himself, and he also had mastered a lot of magic.
He was naturally pleased to see his own clansmen and descendants accepted into Hogwarts.
He even decided that he would personally take the Dunedan children to Diagon Alley to buy wands and other school supplies.
The elven children in places like the Valley of the Elves, Lorien, Mirkwood, and Dovenian also received letters one after another, waiting for the time when the portal key would be activated on August 1st.
