It was dusk. The setting sun was slowly disappearing from the horizon, gilding the mansion at 6 King's Road in London with a faint layer of gold.
It was a classic British-style villa, spacious, bright, and imposing.
The three-storey walls were covered with Boston creepers, and the roof was covered with beautiful brown tiles. The grass and flowerbeds in the yard were neatly trimmed. A luxurious Bentley was quietly parked outside the garage.
It was a beautiful sunset, serene and peaceful.
On the balcony of the villa's top floor, a black-haired boy was staring at an owl. There was an indescribable strangeness between the two, and it did not fit the scene in front of him.
Elwyn Mason stared blankly at the owl in front of him, his eyes filled with curiosity. An owl was not an ordinary bird, one that could be seen in the homes of ordinary people. In its claws, it was holding a brown envelope made of thick parchment.
Elwyn had a feeling that the letter was addressed to him.
However, he was not sure how to get it, because the owl seemed to want some reward from him before it was willing to hand over the letter.
"Hello!"
Elwyn greeted, trying to communicate with the owl, even though it made him look a little stupid.
"Coo ~ ~"
The owl called softly, tilting its head to look at the boy, its brown pupils filled with caution.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm!"
Elwyn tried to make his voice sound gentle, he slowly reached out his right hand, "Is the letter under your feet addressed to me, I think …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a loud shout from downstairs, "Dear, are you ready? We're leaving!"
Then, there was the sound of someone coming up the stairs.
"Oh no, it's my mother, I can't let her see you!"
Elwyn suddenly woke up, he did not have the time to further communicate with the owl in front of him, he waved his right hand forward, trying to chase it away.
"Coo!" The offended owl hurriedly hid to the side.
"Sorry, my mother is allergic to birds. She's scared to death when she sees all kinds of birds, big and small." Elwyn waved his hand and explained in a hurried tone, "You must leave this place quickly!"
It seemed that Elwyn's unreasonable actions had finally convinced the owl that the boy in front of it would not give it anything to eat. A second later, it flapped its wings and flew up to peck Elwyn hard before throwing the letter at his feet. WwW.AiQuXs.cOM
"Oh!"
Elwyn cried out in pain as he watched the owl fly out of the balcony like a whirlwind and disappear from his sight.
Before his mother came in, he lowered his head and picked up the envelope at his feet. It was clearly written in emerald green ink: Surrey County, King's Road, 6 King's Road, 3rd Floor Bedroom, Third Floor, Mr Elwyn Mason.
"This letter, and the owl just now …"
Elwyn squinted his eyes. These strange things in front of him gave him a sense of déjà vu.
"Elwyn, we have to hurry, 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 very rude to be late for your first visit to someone's house."
"Got it, mother!"
Elwyn did not have time to think about it. While the other person was not paying attention, he stuffed the letter into his trouser pocket. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w

His family had a small family gathering that night. The other party was his father's business partner. To be precise, his father's construction company was going to purchase a large number of drilling rigs from the other party.
For Elwyn, he did not need to attend this kind of dinner party, but the other party's family happened to have a child who was one year older than him and was studying at Smiting Middle School.
Elwyn was already eleven years old this year. In a little more than a month, he would enter Smiting Middle School. His parents felt that it was necessary for their child to interact with his future senior in advance.
"Mother, you still haven't told me, what's the name of that senior?"
Along the way, Elwyn felt that he had to do something to divert his attention away from the letter in his trouser pocket. Before knowing the contents of the letter, he was not sure if he should tell his parents about it.
Perhaps, this was just a terrible joke played by someone, and there was no need for his mother to worry about this matter.
"Dear, I already told you last week, the child's name is Dudley," Mrs. Mason replied briskly.
"Dudley Dursley, I dare say that you two will definitely become good friends," Mr. Mason added as he drove.
"Dudley Dursley, what a good name!" Elwyn lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
In fact, he did know someone with this name.
If he remembered correctly, Dudley Dursley should be a character in the "Harry Potter" series of novels that he had read before his rebirth. In the books, Dudley was an extremely overbearing and spoiled child, bringing Harry a miserable childhood.
Elwyn had a deep impression of this fellow, but it was hard to say whether he had a good impression of him.
However, that was still a character in the novels. Although he had been reborn in the 80s and 90s in England, there was no evidence to prove that this was the magical world of Harry Potter.
"Relax, it's probably just a coincidence that they have the same name."
Elwyn tried his best to convince himself, but when he thought of the owl he had just seen, he faintly felt a little uneasy.
While his parents were not paying attention, Elwyn secretly took out the letter from his trouser pocket. He quickly flipped the envelope over, only to see a wax seal and a coat of arms on the back of the envelope. Around the capital "H" were a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.
Elwyn's eyes suddenly widened, and his hands tightened as he opened the envelope with trembling hands. He took out the letter and read:
Principal of Hogwarts School of Magic and Magic: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Magic Union, President of the Magus Association, Sir Merlin's Guild of First-rank Magi)
Dear Mr. Mason, We are pleased to inform you that you have been approved to study at Hogwarts School of Magic and Magic. Enclosed is a list of the required books and equipment. The semester is scheduled to begin on the 1st of September. We will wait for your owl to bring your reply before the 31st of July. Sincerely, Meg Mileva, Vice Principal (Female)
Heavens, this is an admission letter from Hogwarts. I should have known that other than that magic school, who would use an owl to deliver a letter?
"My dear, you don't have to be so nervous." Noticing Elwyn's unusual behavior, Mrs. Mason turned around and comforted him in a low voice, "I heard from your father that the Dursleys are very friendly, and Dudley is also a well-mannered child. I'm sure you'll like this new friend of yours."
"Yes, mother!" Elwyn replied subconsciously. "I'm not nervous, just a little excited."
For the past eleven years, he had been preparing for the future based on the familiar reality. Now, he was suddenly told that he was in a completely unfamiliar world of magic. Was this not a joke?
Fortunately, before Elwyn's reincarnation, he was very fond of Harry Potter's novels and was quite familiar with the contents. Even if he could not remember the entire plot, he could more or less remember the major events, which made him feel slightly relieved.
The problem now was how to tell his parents about this.
Also, if he guessed correctly, he would be able to meet the famous Harry Potter in a while, in addition to Dudley Dursley.
