He and his brother, Albert, returned home while chatting and laughing. Mrs. Harris was already busy in the kitchen.
Only their youngest son, Allen, had to go to school in Hogwarts. Mrs. Harris missed Allen very much as they could not see each other for a long period of time. She had already adjusted her work schedule and specially cleared the afternoon to prepare a table full of delicacies, all of which were Allen's favorite dishes.
"Hurry up and eat, Allen. Although the food in Hogwarts is good, Mom's cooking is still better." Hearing Lunn's praise, Mrs. Harris smiled and served Allen a big bowl of mushroom soup.
As they ate and chatted, Allen told his family about the interesting things that happened in Hogwarts. His vivid description was even more exciting than the real thing. His family was amused and laughed.
"Harry is really a brave boy! Allen, if there's a chance during the holidays, you can invite him over. I'll definitely treat him well. "After hearing about Harry's various experiences, Mrs. Harris had a very good impression of Harry!
"I'd like to know, who won the School Championship this year?" Lunn said seriously. Without waiting for Allen's answer, he said, "It won't be Slytherin, right? Including this year, they've won the School Championship for seven years in a row! "
"Ravenclaw." Looking at Lunn's surprised expression, Allen said in a good mood, "It's our school, Ravenclaw, that won the School Championship."
"Well done, you're really outstanding!" Lunn raised his glass to Allen, feeling relieved.
"Allen, how were your exam results?" After Allen had three consecutive servings of rice, Mr. Harris gently asked about Allen's exam results.
"Full marks in all, first place in the grade." Allen told the truth with a very calm expression.
"Are you kidding?" Albert was so surprised that he forgot to put the bacon on his fork into his mouth.
"That's impossible. No one has ever gotten full marks." Lunn's face was full of disbelief.
"Allen, did you really get full marks and get first place in the grade?" Mr. Harris didn't think it was strange that Allen could get first place in the grade, but he had never heard of someone getting full marks in all the tests.
He knew it would turn out like this! Allen suddenly stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
Mr. Harris and his family looked at each other. "He's not angry, is he?" asked Daisy hesitantly.
"Allen is not a stingy person." Albert believed in his younger brother's ability and believed in Allen's character even more.
"Maybe he's embarrassed because we saw through his lies?" Lunn really didn't believe that Allen could get full marks in all the tests. As a former top student, he knew all too well how difficult it was to get full marks!
Fortunately, Allen had found Professor Fleevy before leaving the Hogwarts and asked for a proof of his results. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort!
Allen rushed into the bedroom and opened his suitcase. When he was changing into Muggle's clothes on the Hogwarts express, he had stuffed his wizard robe into the suitcase carelessly. Now, he had no choice but to take out the robe again because the proof of his results was hidden in the sleeve of the wizard robe.
He returned to the dining room and handed the proof to Mr. Harris. Allen once again forked a sausage. He barely ate anything on the Hogwarts express. He wasn't interested in those strange flavored beans, chocolate frogs and other snacks.
"It's really full marks in all the tests! There's even Professor Fleevy's autograph at the bottom! "Mr. Harris looked at the proof in admiration, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Mrs. Harris also leaned over and looked at the proof with a face full of joy.
Daisy and Lunn looked at each other in surprise. Other than Allen, Albert was the calmest person in the room. After fighting alongside Allen, he knew of Allen's strength. Compared to a minor Magus who could defeat a Elasmosaurus, getting full marks in all the tests was nothing strange!
"I want to hang this proof on the wall!" Mrs. Harris happily took the proof and considered where to hang it most conspicuously.
"Allen, you'll be written down in the history of the Hogwarts!" Daisy and Lunn were envious.
Allen smiled modestly and got up to make some black tea to calm down his overjoyed family members.
When he sat down again, Mr. Harris was already thinking about what to give him as a reward. "Allen, what do you want as a reward?" Mr. Harris asked for Allen's opinion.
"I want to travel and see different sceneries and different people!" Allen now had the time and money, so he really wanted to travel and see the world. He was ashamed to say that as a teacher in his previous life, he had never been out of the country. People often said that one should cultivate a scientific and correct worldview, but if one had never seen the world, how could one have a worldview?
"Sure, it's been a long time since our family spent a holiday together. Why don't we all take a few days off and relax? " Mr. Harris was a little emotional. As a middle-aged man, there was an endless stream of work and personal matters. He really didn't have much time to spend with his family. Allen was so outstanding that he had refreshed their understanding of him time and time again. Mr. Harris felt that he really didn't care enough about his children!
When Allen saw Mr. Harris's expectant and guilty face, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth back into his stomach. He originally wanted to say that he wanted to travel and see the world. He didn't expect Mr. Harris to understand that it was a family trip.
At the same time, Albert, Lunn, and Daisy, who were already working and sensible, all saw Mr. Harris's mood and didn't raise any objections. The little sister, Emily, was very excited. She held a furry toy rabbit and jumped around the room.
The following topic successfully changed from Allen's Hogwarts experience to where to go for a holiday. Albert and Lunn were inclined to go to some mysterious and adventurous places with ancient wizard legends, while Mrs. Harris and Daisy were inclined to go to the beach. In such hot weather, it would be nice to be able to swim by the beach and taste ice cream!
Since the little girl, Emily, was traveling at the same time, Mr. Harris finally decided to go to the beach.
Allen brought Emily alone at home to study and play for three days. Finally, everyone's schedules were aligned and they could travel together. They chose to go to the beach in Cornwall.
The weather was perfect. On the day that Allen and the others went for a holiday, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. The endless blue sea, the clean and delicate golden beach, the old and elegant seaside town, the winding coastline, the colorful hot air balloons floating in the sky … The Cornwall beach was stunning!
