Chapter 1118 Back Wave
Knox's home in the suburbs of New York State, USA.
The yellow and white lights are intertwined, and thanks to Jessica's meticulous care, the room is filled with various beautiful small trees with gorgeous flowers, which look vibrant. Several magazines were scattered on the green marble coffee table in front of the sofa, and a copy of "Break with the Death Eaters" had been flipped to the middle, and it was folded upside down on the sofa.
Jessica, Ian and the Leonard family sat at a long table at the far end of the hall, enjoying a simple dinner of salad, fried chicken and baked macaroni and small pies...while their table was facing On the TV, a broadcast about Hogwarts-related news is being broadcast.
Alan Harris had just received his allegiance from the Centaurs on television and was giving his final speech.
"Those who keep saying 'one generation is not as good as one generation' should look at you just like me, I look at you with envy, wizards have accumulated wealth for thousands of years, all the knowledge, insight, wisdom and art seem to be specially prepared for you Gifts. The magic is prosperous, the culture is prosperous, the city is prosperous, the achievements of the wizard civilization are opened layer by layer, and you can enjoy it freely, learn a spell, learn a skill...
If you still need my blessing, then rush forward! We are in the same rushing river"
"I used to proudly say in front of Allen that Ilvermorny is the best magic school in the world..." Jessica swallowed a mouthful of salad and chewed the vegetables, and said with some yearning, "floating in the air It sounds romantic... that kind of feeling must be amazing... Uncle, is Hogwarts University really as unlimited as advertised?"
"Jessica, do you want to go to Hogwarts too?" Leonard wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "Hogwarts just started recruiting students, so although the start time has passed, it does There are no restrictions, but the teaching method is said to be more like the apprenticeship system in the ancient magic world, except for public classes, a mentor leads several students."
"Jessica, I don't approve of you going. Now is not a good time to study in the UK." Ian raised his eyebrows. Although his voice was low, he was very firm and powerful - the pet curled-winged demon left by his parents fell into the The chair next to him was smoking a raw cow's brain, which looked like a bat, brightly colored and covered in spines.
"Why?" Jessica put down her fork unhappily, "A lot of my friends wrote in this afternoon saying they have been living in the floating city for a few months."
"It's a small matter that Hogwarts has become a floating city now, but they have energy cores, and there are many national forces staring at them now..." Ian, who has a head of stubborn short blond hair, said seriously, "Magic Many officials in Congress are also arguing about this matter, the Director of the Serious Investigation Department and the Director of the Magical Law Enforcement Department of the Congress are arguing with the President and the Chief of Staff."
"Ian, are you reluctant to part with Jessica, right? My younger brother still can't leave his sister, that's why he doesn't want to let her go to a place as far away as England. Because once she goes, you won't see her for a long time. "Leonard laughed heartily, teasing Ian with a teasing tone.
"Uncle Leonard! Jessica wants to go to England to study. This is a very serious matter." Ian seriously emphasized, with an embarrassment of being poked at the center of the matter on his face.
"Ahaha, are you reluctant to part with me? Are you afraid that no one will cook for you?" Jessica's eyes were bright, and her tone was brisk to join in the teasing ranks, "If I go to Hogwarts, would you like to help you find out who is the number one in the duel contest?" The details of your competitor Allen? For example, you may find out that he is afraid of cockroaches and mice, so you can scare him during the duel... Actually, I think you should resign and go with me, we can still be classmates.
"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ian yelled in embarrassment, "Uncle, you know the situation!"
"Okay, let's stop making trouble, Jessica, now is indeed not the best time to go to Hogwarts." Leonard said with a serious expression, "Actually, I don't agree with you going to Hogwarts to study now...Hog Watts' recent performance is too eye-catching, and the threat and fear that energy nuclear things bring to other wizarding worlds is too great. It just happened, so you'd better not take risks..." Leonard's tone became more serious, "Our domestic The attitude of the United Kingdom has always been relatively resistant, and Alan was too domineering before, which has already given many radicals a reason to resent him. He broke their idea that the United States is already stronger than the British magic world... After today, I think those who used to The centrists who have nothing to do with themselves are also forced to stand on both sides."
"Yes, Uncle! Jessica... Don't you think that Ilvermorny is better than Hogwarts? There are quite a few wizards with radical ideas. It's best not to provoke them under the circumstances, they may be disgusted. Those of you who are going to study abroad..." Ian said seriously, "I'm not afraid that this will cause any trouble to my uncle and me. Now that Hogwarts has just been promoted, the situation is not yet clear...But Hogwarts is now Doing so is tantamount to further creating threats to other countries, if they lose, will you be implicated when you come back..."
Jessica was a little annoyed: "The American wizarding world is the freest! I don't care what your fellow Aurors think."
"There will definitely be no shortage of spying power cores. Hogwarts itself is positioned as a wizarding city rather than a magic school, so the population flow will be very small and large...that is to say, Hogwarts will not be safer than before. " Leonard changed the subject, "But if you just stay in school and don't go around the temple, it shouldn't be a big problem, Ian, you should stay away from those radicals... The matter of this duel contest... you think Come to think of it, if you have the opportunity to fight opponents of the level of Dumbledore and the Mysterious Man, just having this experience is enough honor."
"It can't be done anymore..." Ian cut the steak on his plate sullenly, "I received letters from some contestants when I went to work, and many people want to withdraw from this year's duel competition...you know , I have private contacts with some players. After Allen and the mysterious man won the public duel last time, many players wanted to withdraw from this duel competition. I am afraid that what happened at Hogwarts today will bring them A fatal blow... Even if this duel match can still be held, it is estimated that the number of contestants will become the fewest in history."
Ian couldn't eat, so he simply put his fork aside and stopped enjoying his dinner.
"Ian, no matter how many opponents you are competing with, do what you want to do the most...Since you lost the duel with Alan last time, the thing you want to do the most is to fight Alan again , the important thing is the process rather than the result, such a confrontation is good for you... so give me a good meal." Jessica directed the fork to fly back to Ian's hand, "I still decided to go to Hogwarts with my friends See if you can enroll, if you are not as good as others now, you are not as good as others, there is nothing wrong with admitting it."
The cool-looking boy listened to his sister very much. He continued to pick up the macaroni and chewed it in his mouth: "Jessica, if you want to go later, go get ready. I don't want to wait for you to dress up for more than an hour." ..."
"That's because I didn't know what boots to match that day!" Jessica retorted, but she got up and went to her room.
"Ian, are you going to that ghostly place again?" Leonard frowned upon hearing this, "That's a place where a bunch of bullies are making a fuss, and a bunch of wizards who don't get much salary every week are still discussing state affairs there... Jie Why is Xika interested in these things?"
Ian put down his fork, and untied the collar, "Fuji Graves invited me to the Blind Pig Bar for a drink today, and he will be on stage tonight."
The wrinkles on Leonard's forehead piled up: "Ian, we are not radicals, I told you, don't mix with those people... and the Blind Pig Bar was all dirty meeting places decades ago, Now I don't see much better."
"Although Gangdu Fuji III's words and actions seem too radical, he can still accept other people's opinions, and you have always respected uncle..." Ian said to Leonard, "Jessica is not interested in these things, she is Love the cluck spirits, I'm just going to listen, I've been telling them some of your ideas and concerns, I think it can also influence them to be more appropriate and not take more aggressive actions. "
"I'll go with you." Leonard stood up and thrust his wand into his waist before going to get his coat. "Don't let you be fooled by that man's radical remarks."
"Uncle Leonard, just don't get so excited that you come to the stage to give a speech..." Ian said in a displeased tone, he didn't seem to want to go to the bar with his elders, but he couldn't refuse, and he added unwillingly, "Then Then you pay the bill."
