Chapter 1 The Owl and the Boy

At dusk, the setting sun, which is slowly disappearing from the horizon, paints the large mansion at 6 King's Road in London with a touch of golden yellow.

This is a classic villa full of British style, spacious, bright and grand.

The three-storey walls are covered with creeping ivy, the roof is covered with beautiful brown tiles, the grass and flower beds in the yard have been neatly rested, and a luxurious Bentley car is parked quietly at this time. outside the garage.

A beautiful sunset picture, serene and peaceful.

Except on the balcony on the top floor of the villa, a black-haired boy was staring at an owl. The indescribable strangeness between the two was incompatible with the painting style in front of him.

Ivan Mason stared blankly at the owl in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity. Owls are not unusual. Birds that can be seen in ordinary residents' homes, especially each other's claws, are holding a brown envelope made of thick parchment.

Ai Wen has a feeling that the letter was written to himself.

But he was not sure how to get it, because the owl seemed to want to get some reward from himself before he was willing to hand over the letter.

"Hello!"

Ai Wen said hello and tried to communicate with the other party, although it made him look a little silly.

"Goo~~"

The owl let out a soft cry, tilted his head and looked at the boy, his brown pupils full of alertness.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions!"

Ai Wen tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, he slowly stretched out his right hand, "Is the letter under your feet written to me, I think..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud shout from downstairs, "Dear, are you ready, we are going!"

Then, there was the sound of someone going upstairs.

"Oops, it's my mother, can't let her see you!"

Ai Wen woke up suddenly, and without further communication with the owl in front of him, he waved his right hand forward vigorously, trying to drive it away.

"Goo!" The offended owl hurried to the side.

"Sorry, my mother is allergic to birds. She is scared to death when she sees all kinds of birds, big and small." Ai Wen waved and explained in a hurried tone, "You must get out of here quickly! "

It seemed that Ai Wen's unreasonable actions finally convinced the owl that the boy in front of him would not give him anything to eat. A second later, it flapped its wings, flew up and pecked Aiwen fiercely, and threw the letter to his feet.

"Ah oh!"

Ai Wen screamed in pain, watching the owl fly out of the balcony like a whirlwind and disappear from his eyes.

Without caring about anything else, before his mother came in, he lowered his head and picked up the envelope under his feet. It was written in emerald green ink: Bedroom on the third floor, 6 King's Road, Little Whinging, Surrey, Ai Mr. Wen Mason received.

"This letter, and that owl just now..."

Ai Wen narrowed his eyes, and these apparently very grotesque things in front of him gave him a sense of deja vu.

"Ai Wen, we have to hurry up, your father is already waiting for us in the car." A well-dressed middle-aged woman walked in and said in a slightly serious tone, "It's a very bad thing to be late when visiting someone else's house for the first time. Disrespectful thing."

"Got it, Mom!"

Ai Wen didn't have time to think about it, and before the other party was not paying attention, he stuffed the envelope into his trouser pocket.

There was a small family gathering at their house this evening. The other party was his father's business partner. To be precise, his father's construction company was going to buy a large number of drilling rigs from the other party.

For Ai Wen, he didn't have to attend this kind of dinner, but the other party happened to have a child one year older than him, who happened to be studying at Smelting Middle School.

Ai Wen is eleven years old this year, and in more than a month, he will enter Smelting Middle School. His parents feel it is necessary to let their children contact future seniors in advance.

"Mom, you haven't told me yet, what's that senior's name?"

Along the way, Ai Wen felt he had to do something to divert his attention from the letter in his trouser pocket. Before he knew exactly what the letter was about, he wasn't sure whether to tell his parents about it.

Maybe it's just a bad joke someone made, and there's no need to make mother worry about it.

"My dear, I told you last week that the boy's name was Dudley," replied Mrs. Mason briskly.

"Dulley Dursley, I dare say you'll be good friends," added Mr. Mason as he drove.

"Dali Dursley, that's really a good name!" Ai Wen lowered his head and fell into contemplation.

In fact, he did know a man by that name too.

If he remembered correctly, Duli Dursley should be a character in the "Harry Potter" series of novels he read before he was reborn. In the book, Dudley is a domineering, pampered child who brings Harry a tragic childhood.

For this guy, Ai Wen was impressed, but it was hard to say what a good impression he had.

But after all, that is a character in a novel. Although he was reborn in England in the 1980s and 1990s, there is no evidence that this is the magical world of Harry Potter.

"Relax, it should just happen to be the same name."

Ai Wen tried hard to convince himself, but when he thought of seeing the owl just now, he felt a little uneasy.

Taking advantage of his parents not paying attention, Ai Wen secretly took out the letter in his trouser pocket. He quickly turned the envelope over and saw that on the back of the envelope, there was a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a capital "H" around the letter. Encircled a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake.

Ai Wen's eyes widened suddenly, his hands were tightly pressed, he opened the envelope tremblingly, took out the letter and read:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizards Guild, First Class Wizard of the Merlin Order).

Dear Mr. Mason: We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment. The semester is scheduled to start on September 1. We will be waiting for your reply from your owl by July 31st. Vice-Principal (female) Minerva McGonagall is here.

God, this is an admission letter from Hogwarts, he should have thought, who would use an owl to deliver the letter except the wizarding school.

"Darling, you don't have to be so nervous." Noticing Irving's abnormality, Mrs. Mason turned around and comforted in a low voice, "I heard from your father that the Dursleys are very friendly, and Dudley is also a polite friend. You're going to love this new friend, boy."

"Yes, Mom!" Ivan replied subconsciously, "I'm not nervous, just a little excited."

In the past eleven years, he has been preparing for the future according to the familiar real world, but now he suddenly tells him that this is a magical world completely unfamiliar to him. Isn't this a joke.

Fortunately, before Ai Wen's rebirth, he was very fond of Harry Potter's novels, and he was familiar with the contents. Even if he couldn't remember all the plots, he could recall the big events to some extent, which made him a little bit. relieved.

The question now is how to tell my parents about this.

Also, if he guessed correctly, in addition to seeing Darley Dursley, he is very likely to see the famous Harry Potter.

Just when Ai Wen was struggling, his father slowly stopped the car and said softly, "Honey, here we are, No. 4 Privet Road!"
