Chapter 1 Magical Magic

In a three-story building near the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole.

Eleven-year-old Kyle Chopper was standing at the window, looking at the parchment in his hand carefully.

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Sir Merlin, First Class, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, President of the International Confederation of Wizards)

Dear Mr. Chopper

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and items.

The semester starts on September 1st. We will wait for your reply by owl before July 31st.

Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmaster (Female)

…

Yes, it is the admission letter from Hogwarts.

Since he traveled here eleven years ago, Kyle has been waiting for this day.

As for why he is so sure, it is simple, because there are several other special families living not far away next door.

Among them, the one Kyle is most familiar with is Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler.

And the Weasley family.

Especially the latter, the extremely strange building and the red hair of the whole family made Kyle instantly determine the composition of this world.

It is worth mentioning that being able to live here also shows that Kyle in this life also comes from a wizard family.

His father, Chris Chopper, works in the Ministry of Magic, Deputy Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and Director of the Beast Office. And thanks to his family-inherited talent for communicating with magical animals, he is also a famous magical zoologist, one of the only few students of Newt Scamander.

His mother Diana is also in the Ministry of Magic, but in the Department of Mysteries, but Kyle doesn't know what she does specifically. He also tried to use various methods to insinuate, but all failed. Obviously, his parents' sense of confidentiality is quite in place, and no news has been revealed.

Family situation... Well, because there have been no prominent figures in the ancestors, it can only be said to be mediocre, far worse than those famous surnames, such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald and the like.

But even so, Kyle was already very satisfied. At least his parents were wizards, so there would be no problem for him to enter Hogwarts.

Unless he was a Squib.

This was denied after his first magical riot when he was three years old.

Although he had known that this day would come, when the owl really pecked open the window of his room with the envelope, Kyle was so excited that he almost jumped up.

He held the parchment like a treasure, and would not let go even when he slept, and would take a look at it every now and then.

...

"Dear, you have been reading the admission letter over and over again for three days. Can you put it down? I promise you it is absolutely true!"

Chris looked at his son who was laughing again helplessly, and couldn't help but remind him: "Don't forget that we have an appointment with the Weasley family next door to go to Diagon Alley together today. Don't keep them waiting."

"Okay, Dad, I'll be there soon."

Kyle hurriedly put away the Hogwarts admission letter that he had read countless times, stood up hurriedly, and knocked on a wooden stake next to him: "Groot, I'm leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, a green little guy jumped out and waved at Kyle.

Kyle's family has magical animals, but not many. In addition to this Bowtruckle named Groot, there is also a catkin named Tom.

Although Chris is the deputy director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, it is not difficult for him to raise more than ten or twenty magical animals, but he did not do so. And even Groot and Tom were left here because they refused to leave.

It's not that Chris doesn't like magical animals, but he thinks that so-called magical animals should not stay with wizards.

Those kept around can only be called pets.

On this point of view, this middle-aged gentleman who has always been gentle and known as a good guy in the Ministry of Magic is very firm.

His view is also supported by Newt Scamander.

Newt also believes that magical animals should be in nature, and has always done so.

As for why there are so many magical animals in his magical box, it is purely because of Newt's physical condition.

Kyle has seen this old man, and more than once, so he can be sure.

Just like a magical elementary school student of the god of death, Newt Scamander also has a similar physique.

Kyle clearly remembers that when he was five years old and walking with Newt in the garden, he witnessed a ball-escape bird dive into Newt's arms.

You should know that the ball-escape birds are natural masters of apparition. Although they are not very smart and will not deliberately hide themselves like other magical animals, they have a strong sense of territory and the ability to perceive danger.

Once they sense that there are wizards or other creatures that threaten them, they will flee as soon as possible.

In the description of the ball-escape birds in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the first sentence is that they can only be viewed from a distance, but cannot be approached.

However, such a ball-escape bird actually jumped into Newt's arms with such accuracy.

It's outrageous.

And when he was seven years old, he went out with Newt again and met a salamander.

At the age of eight, he was an injured unicorn.

At the age of ten, he was almost made into a crucible by a fire crab.

…

Among these magical animals, some were smuggled into the British magic world and then escaped, and some wandered here without knowing how. They always appear around Newt in various incredible ways.

And this is still the premise that Newt has been staying at home.

When he carried a box around the world to send magical animals home, the situation was much more serious than it is now.

Every time he sent a magical animal home, there would be more than a dozen new magical animals bumping into him. After a long time, it would be strange if there were not many animals in his box.

…

With such a special talent, it is no wonder that Newt was put on the entry blacklist by almost all ministries of magic.

After all, those magical animals had bad tempers before they met Newt, especially the injured and pregnant ones, who would explode on the spot if something went wrong.

Imagine that you are leisurely drinking afternoon tea on the street, and suddenly a mad and violent human-headed sphinx-body manticore, or a leopard or something like that jumps out beside you... Tsk, that scene, just thinking about it can make people sweat.

So, what Gellert, what Voldemort, the Dark Lord has to do it himself to cause trouble? That's it? That's too weak.

Look at Uncle Newt, he doesn't need to do it himself if he wants to make someone disappear, just buy a plane ticket and stay there for three or five days, drink coffee, and enjoy the scenery, and he doesn't even need to get involved in cause and effect afterwards.

Or maybe Grandma Tina is great, she sealed Newt by her side with her own strength, it's no exaggeration to say that the whole world owes her a Merlin First Class Medal.

It's just that the British magic world suffers.

According to incomplete statistics, since Newt settled in Dorset, the Ministry's incidents about magical creatures have begun to increase exponentially, and the British magic world has inexplicably become the most popular place for smugglers to sell stolen goods, nothing else.

Fortunately, although there have been incidents of all sizes over the years, none of them have caused any serious impact, at most some unlucky guy has suffered some minor injuries.

As the birthplace of Newt, this place probably has a passive buff.

But Chris is not so lucky. Because of his job, he has to work overtime for several days every once in a while.

But Kyle looks like he enjoys it.

…

When he got to the door, Kyle found that in addition to Chris standing at the door, his mother Diana also came back from the Ministry of Magic early, which was rare. She was standing there and looking at him with a smile.

Her long black hair was meticulously groomed, and the black-bottomed and white-edged robe was worn on her appropriately and elegantly. When she looked at Kyle, her light blue eyes were full of tenderness.

Elegant and intellectual.

This is Kyle's impression of Diana all the time.

Subconsciously, Kyle turned his head to look at Chris... Well, he was a little handsome, and he could vaguely see some of his youthful demeanor. The two of them were a good match.

The most important thing is that Chris is not bald. Even though he is nearly 40 years old, the distance between his hairline and eyebrows is still only about one inch. This is in stark contrast to Mr. Weasley next door.

Of course, with such strong genes, Kyle's appearance is naturally not bad. Among the people he knows, he can at least rank first. At a young age, he has the tendency to bring disaster to the country and the people.

Of course, this is not important, and Kyle never takes it to heart. He doesn't make a living by his face.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Kyle walked between the two and said embarrassedly.

"If you can put away the notice, it probably won't be too late, and Hogwarts will not leave the UK because you didn't keep the notice."

Chris looked at Kyle teasingly and told a joke made up on the spot.

Well, let's just call it a joke, at least Chris laughed happily after he finished speaking.

As for Kyle, although he didn't understand what Chris was laughing at, he still pulled the corner of his mouth politely, all for his father's face.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

"Okay, it's getting late, we have to leave."

Diana smiled slightly, interrupting the awkward interaction between the father and son, and took Kyle's hand by the way: "There are a lot of things to buy for school, we have to go quickly, and it's not polite to let the Weasley family wait for a long time."

After that, accompanied by a crisp explosion, she disappeared with Kyle.

Seeing this, Chris also Apparated and followed.
