Chapter 10, The Letter from Hogwarts
Allen's family greeted him with broad smiles as they stood behind the door, while Mrs. Harris and Daisy emerged from the kitchen pushing a gigantic cake. This scene filled Allen with an overwhelming sense of warmth and happiness, as if his eyes were drenched in joy, reflecting this perfect picture. He felt fortunate to be part of this wizarding family, where everyone loved each other, rather than simply having crossed over to become Harry Potter.
The letter informed the young wizard about the items to bring for the start of school and the precautions to take. After reading it, Allen handed the letter to his mother. Although everyone had seen such letters many times before, they could not help but pass it around to each other. Finally, the father, Owen, took it and expressed his intention to seal the letter as always, preserving it permanently within the family.
Allen turned the envelope over and saw a wax seal on the top, featuring a shield emblem. The emblem was composed of the letter "H" representing Hogwarts, surrounded by a lion, a badger, an eagle, and a snake, symbolizing the four houses. Two ribbons, inscribed with the school name and motto, adorned the shield as decorative elements.
Quickly go and untie the letter on its leg, it is truly not easy to fly here in this weather. What a loyal messenger! Hagrid clearly had a fondness for this owl; after urging Harry to hurry and open the letter, he began to chop up some sausages to feed it—Hagrid had a habit of always carrying various items that would allow him to feed animals conveniently.
"Allen, congratulations!" He was welcomed by a shower of colorful ribbons, and the room was adorned in a vibrant array of colors. The fireworks shot from the wand and the continuously gushing colorful foam transformed the previously relatively monotonous room into a rich spectacle.
Congratulations, Allen, you have received your admission notice from Hogwarts. Hurry and open it to take a look. Morgan le Fay turned and marked July 31st on the calendar, feeling pleased that yet another child had successfully received an acceptance letter from Hogwarts
All the experienced individuals in the household smiled at her, and Morgan le Fay gently stroked her little daughter's soft, light golden hair, saying: "You will know when the time comes"
Meanwhile, Harry also received a birthday cake from Hagrid and learned about his true heritage. Wrapped in Hagrid's coat, he savored the delicious, greasy sausages, feeling as if he were in a dream. He was a wizard, about to attend a prestigious wizarding school, rather than some stone-walled school. He could finally leave the home that made him feel so oppressed
"By the way, Allen, go deliver a letter to Harry. He still doesn't know that you are also a wizard, does he?" Father Irwin then reminded, "Don't let negligence in such trivial matters undermine our previous efforts."
This is a very strong owl, drenched all over, having delivered a message in such harsh weather. It is not hard to imagine how many storms it has battled through. Although it is utterly exhausted, it still stubbornly straightens its body and fixes its sharp gaze on Harry before completing its mission
While filled with joy, he also thought of his friends Allen and Fleg, realizing that he would be separated from them, no longer attending the same school, and certainly not living in the same city. They would make new friends, yes... Allen was so outstanding, Fleg was so cheerful, they were like shining stars in the crowd, so endearing... At this thought, Harry couldn't help but feel sad.

Who in the magical world would send a letter to themselves
Harry hurried over, and the owl extended its left leg, on which a small roll of parchment was tied with a red cloth ribbon. Remarkably, in such stormy weather, both the ribbon and the parchment were completely dry, without a trace of moisture
A family sat happily around the dining table, enjoying the roast beef and apple pudding meticulously prepared by Mrs. Harris and Daisy, while discussing various intriguing tales from Hogwarts. The adults, evidently aiming to uphold tradition, frightened Allen with various terrifying stories about the Sorting Hat.
At that moment, the window of the dilapidated little house standing on the rocks made a "thud" sound. Harry looked over and saw an owl. After the magical letter bombardment during the day, he had already learned that this creature was a delightful messenger. He rolled over and got up, running over to pull open the window. A strong sea breeze immediately rushed in, causing the owl to stumble, yet it still valiantly struggled to fly onto the armrest of the tattered sofa, tilting its head to look at Harry, as if asking him why he didn't come over to open the letter.
Without discussing how Allen and the other three ran wild in the neighborhood, or how they celebrated Harry's birthday, when Allen bid them farewell and pushed open the door to his home
Emily jogged over to take Alan's bag and set it down. Their father, Owen, approached and handed Alan a letter. The envelope was made of thick parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink, without a postage stamp.
But how exactly can one determine which college they can be assigned to? The stories about the sorting you just mentioned contradict the books. Little sister Emily was initially a bit scared, but as she listened to them becoming more and more absurd, she realized they were just trying to scare her.
"I wonder which house you will be sorted into, Allen?" Emily nestled beside her brother, clearly aware that her elder brother was about to start school, and that it would be at Hogwarts, where he would need to board. She felt a twinge of reluctance in her heart.
Growth is always accompanied by a great deal of expectations and blessings. In the presence of the entire family, Allen, filled with anticipation for the wizarding world, sent his letter of acceptance to Hogwarts through the family's owl, Edward
Regardless of which college you are assigned to, it is worth your effort to experience it wholeheartedly. Study diligently, for it is important to understand that being assigned to a particular college does not mean you only possess its strengths. Initially, I was reluctantly placed in Slytherin, known for its ambition and desire for power, but now I also embody the bravery of Gryffindor, the perseverance and honesty of Hufflepuff, and the wisdom and knowledge of Ravenclaw. Listening to my father, Owen, boast so nonsensically, Allen's anxiety about the sorting ceremony has significantly diminished.
