Chapter 45 Back home!
"Goodbye~"
Most of everyone’s parents were at the platform to pick up people, and Adam also found his grandparents on the platform after saying goodbye to his friends.
"Oh, dear, how are you at Hogwarts?"
After hugging the two old men one by one, Adam showed a pleasant smile:
"It's great, I made good friends!"
"That's good~"
Emma rubbed the top of his hair:
"Come on, your parents are waiting for you at King's Cross Station."
"They're here too?"
Adam was stunned and took the lead to rush out along platform nine and three-quarters. Sure enough, he saw Mr. Reed and Ms. Li staring at this side.
"Oh dear~"
Ms. Li rarely shows such an emotional side, but this time she walked up quickly, hugged Adam, and put his head on her shoulders:
"You've grown taller!"
"Of course, Mom, it's been a year."
Letting go of Ms. Li, Adam looked at Mr. Reed.
Mr. Reed didn't make such big moves, and nodded to Adam reservedly.
Adam is not surprised either. His father's style has changed frequently over the years, and he has a lot of drama. Within three days, he will be back to his original state. I just don’t know which employee he heard the parenting tips from this time, or what script he got.
"Were you in danger at school?"
"Some dangerous things do seem to have happened in the school, but they have nothing to do with me."
"That's good."
Mr. Reed nodded and took out a glass bottle of Coke from his pocket:
"Welcome home."
Oh ho~ This time it’s the father who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside?
Because the fees charged by British dentists are almost obvious to rip you off, Mr. Reed and Ms. Li are quite concerned about Adam's dental health. Adam is rarely allowed to drink this kind of sweet sparkling water. Being able to drink Happy Water in the past really made Adam happy. feel happy.
Despite his now happy water freedom, Adam still reached for the Coke.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Reed first avoided Adam's hand, and then put his thumb on the Coke bottle cap under Adam's puzzled gaze...
About ten seconds later, Mr. Reed, who was blushing, silently took out the bottle opener from his other pocket.
"Collapse~"
"...Thank you, Dad."
Adam held back his laughter and took a sip of the Coke.
"Ahem!"
Under the smiling gaze of his wife and parents, Mr. Reed coughed twice awkwardly:
"It's time for us to go home. You must not have eaten anything delicious on the way, right? A sumptuous welcome meal has been prepared at home~"
Precisely because he had guessed this, Adam himself, who was watching his friends in the entire carriage show off their delicious food before leaving, did not move his chopsticks and was deliberately hungry.
"Okay~"
…
"To Egypt?"
During dinner, Adam brought up the idea of going to Egypt for team building with his classmates. Unsurprisingly, the four parents couldn't help but hesitate when they first heard about it.
"The classmate you are talking about is...?"
"His name is Uther Ramesses."
Not surprisingly, this surname attracted the attention of my parents, but my grandparents seemed to have no reaction to it.
"His father is the Minister of Magic in Egypt."
Now the people who reacted most were the grandparents.
"Ramses?" x2
"Minister of Magic?" x2
The two couples looked at each other, and then there was a burst of information exchange, with Adam correcting their misunderstandings from time to time.
"A descendant of the Pharaoh... no wonder he is the prime minister of the Egyptian wizards."
Mr. Reed nodded, then looked at Adam:
"If that's the case, then you don't have to worry too much about safety issues. Your mother and I can also find time, but the problem is that both of us are dumb..."
Apparently Mr. Reed had learned some knowledge about the wizarding world from his parents during this time.
Adam hesitated. This seemed to be a real problem. Even if Uther and the others did not discriminate against Squibs, Adam did not dare to guarantee that the other wizards they met along the way also did not discriminate against Squibs.
Although there are places where wizards gather and they are not afraid of traces, if he encounters this kind of thing, he would not be able to take out the Dark Rod and the Clow Card in front of his parents, and then show them a ten-year tree and a ten-second tree. Bar?
Besides, even if he kills the other party, he can't erase the psychological damage his parents suffered... Hey, it seems that canceling cards can erase memories?
No, no!
Could it be that after staying with Bernard, a guy who can be tortured and cuffed, for a long time, his thoughts have become dangerous?
Well, how could a person with such a pure heart come up with such an idea in his head? It must be Bernard’s influence!
"Then let's take Adam there?"
Old Reed looked eager to try:
“I haven’t been to Egypt yet!”
"I have no objection, but Adam, do you still remember..."
Emma looked at Adam.
"Of course, Grandma."
Adam winked at Emma and told her not to worry, he hadn't forgotten.
"What are you talking about?"
Mr. Reed's suspicious eyes flickered between his son and his mother.
From what employees say, it seems that grandparents and grandchildren can easily become extremely close to each other... and that's an accurate conclusion in Mr. Reed's current experience.
"It's nothing, Dad, this is a secret between grandma and me."
Mr. Reed looked at the two of them resentfully and took a bite of food helplessly.
…
That night, Adam returned to his room and released Xiao Ke, Sibi and Ares - the owls Adam bought when he went to Diagon Alley with his grandparents before school started.
Ares is a male snowy owl. Adam named him Ares with high expectations at the time, and this boy really lived up to Adam's expectations. He usually has a very good personality, is very powerful when hunting, and is also very skillful in delivering letters.
When he opened the cage, Adam found that his Ares looked listless.
"What happened? Huh? Is he hungry?"
Adam checked and found that the food in the cage was all there, and there was even more left than expected.
"Loss of appetite? Is it because of the bumpy ride on the express? It doesn't seem like it... Could he be sick?"
Ares still showed no signs of improvement after coming out of the cage. Just when Adam was at a loss as to whether to send Ares to St. Mungo's or Eeyore Owl Shop in Diagon Alley, Spi spoke up:
"I think he seems a little depressed..."
"Depressed?"
Adam was shocked:
"What troubles can an owl have? Did I not ask him to deliver mail recently? Ares actually loves his work so much... Wait, Spi, you can actually tell whether an owl is depressed?!"
"Just feel it with your heart!"
"Use... use your heart?"
Seeing Spi's convincing words, Adam believed it.
Spee is the sealed beast in charge of the hidden cards, and many of the Clow Cards under his command are indeed feminine and spiritual.
"Then what should I do? Ask Ares to help deliver the letter?"
"He doesn't seem to be depressed because he didn't deliver the letter."
Sib continued to stare at Ares for a while, then tilted his head uncertainly:
"He seems to be... uh... lovesick?"
