In a small town on the outskirts of London, Iza Young's manor.
It was said that the owner of this manor was the descendant of a traveler from the far east many years ago. The original owner was a Chinese man named Yang Hang. He settled here and married a local noble's daughter, Iza Belenka, and had children. Their descendants lived here for generations.
Now, the people who lived here were Mrs. Rowling Young, who was over 60 years old, and her daughter.
Beside Iza's manor, there was also a big house. This was the old house of the Smith family, but since the old Smith couple passed away, their son and daughter-in-law who lived in Greenwich basically didn't live here. Now, only an old housekeeper was here to look after the house.
By the way, the daughter-in-law of the Smith couple was Lynn Young, the daughter of Mrs. Rowling Young.
Of course, now she was called Lynn Smith.
For the residents of the town, the two families who lived close to each other were equally strange. They rarely communicated with the residents of the town, but these two families were very rich, otherwise, they wouldn't have raised such excellent children.
It was said that he was a university professor!
The residents of the town always said so.
But such rumors, Lov Smith obviously didn't know. He had received a good elite education since childhood, so he didn't have any contact with the residents of the town.
…
An hour before dinner, the figures of the Smith family appeared from the fireplace in the basement of Iza Young's manor.
For Mr. Smith, this wasn't the first time he used the flying network. As the husband of a witch, his identity was registered with the Ministry of Magic to avoid triggering the confidentiality law. And it was the experience of these magic transportation methods that made Mr. Smith so curious about the world of the Wizard.
The one who welcomed them in front of the fireplace was the Yang Family's little house elf, Kalika. This female elf was now serving the Yang Family along with her mother and brother. To them, the Smiths were also considered their masters.
Lov Smith and Lynn Smith grew up together. In the past, because of the confidentiality law, they couldn't reveal their relationship, but this didn't prevent them from having a good impression of Mr. Smith.
And after Lov Smith and his little master became husband and wife, this kind of affection didn't need to be kept a secret.
"Welcome back, my master."
Kalika performed a standard aristocratic salute and winked at Jon when she got up.
Jon returned the look. His friendship with Kalika, the house elf, could be traced back to the time when he lived in Isa's manor.
That was a very pleasant time.
Naturally, he didn't need an elf to lead the way back home. The Yang family was a Wizard family that had been around for hundreds of years. Not only did they have their own household elves, but they also had several Wizard servants. These Wizards didn't have a high level of magic, so it wasn't a bad thing for them to be able to find a job with a high salary like this.
After all, the families of these servants still lived in Muggle's real world. Two of them were not Wizard's family members, so they still needed the money of ordinary people to survive.
Lov Smith was the one who paid the wages of these servants. Of course, this expense was just a small amount for him.
It wasn't far from the basement to the living room. As soon as Jon went upstairs, he saw his grandmother wearing a silk robe and glasses, sitting on the sofa drinking tea and reading a book. This old witch looked like an ordinary old lady, if one ignored the fact that she could turn a small wooden square into a delicate silver cup.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!"
Jon smiled and walked over to sit beside Mrs. Rowling. He held his grandmother's arm and read a book together. He couldn't throw himself into his grandmother's arms like a child. That would make him physically uncomfortable, but he could still show his closeness.
In contrast, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were much more reserved. They greeted Mrs. Rowling and sat on the sofa next to her.
Loff Smith liked coming to Isa's manor very much. There were many interesting books in the library. Every time he came, he would read one or two of them. Those books were all about the legends and secrets of the wizarding world. He would read them as entertainment, so he could understand them.
Hearing that her sister's family had arrived, Mrs. Mae Young had also come downstairs. Behind her was a black-haired girl who looked two years older than Jon. She was Jon's cousin, the future successor of this manor, Béla Young.
Jon and Béla Young had a good relationship. Because of her parents' unhappy marriage, Béla was obviously closer to her grandmother and her younger brother, Jon. She was indifferent to her mother.
There was still some time before the banquet. Mrs. Smith and her mother and sister had a private talk. Mr. Smith went to the library to read, and Jon naturally went to the manor with his cousin, Béla.
"I heard that you have got the wand? Take it out and show it to your sister. "
After leaving her parents, Béla's face finally showed a little liveliness. She showed great interest in her cousin's wand.
Jon was not worried that his wand would be damaged. He generously took out his wand and handed it to his cousin.
Béla waved her wand, but did not respond. It seemed that she wanted to cast a small spell for Jon to see.
As a descendant of the pureblood Wizard family, there were many advantages. Take the Law of Reasonable Restrictions on Underage Wizards as an example. Except for the young Wizard who had not yet started learning magic but had already gotten the wand, the descendants of the pureblood family would not be warned by the Ministry of Magic if they used magic during the school holidays.
Jon seriously suspected that the relevant laws of the Ministry of Magic were designed for the young Wizard who came from the Muggle family, and had a severe bias.
On one side was a pureblood Wizard who had the guidance of his parents and could still practice magic during the holidays. On the other side was a wizard who came from the Muggle family who could not use magic during the holidays. The Ministry of Magic's bias was simply too obvious.
"Seems like you and my wand are not fated to be together."
Jon tilted his head and took back his wand. He changed the topic and asked, "Is Hogwarts fun?"
"There's nothing fun about it. If you really want to learn something, you will be very busy. To be honest, there is a lot of homework."
Béla Yang was currently studying at Ravenclaw Academy in Hogwarts. She was about to enter the third year when school started. Of course, entering Ravenclaw was the tradition of the Yang family Wizard.
"Oh right, which academy do you want to enter?" Béla blinked and said, "I heard from my mother that you are very talented in magic. Do you want to enter Gryffindor or Slythrin?"
