Chapter 002 I have a cousin

Three days later, in the evening

So? " Aiven came back to his senses, looking at Draco with a smile on his face

The Earl of Barrow was taken aback; Aiven indeed did not have a wand. So, does this mean that one can perform magic without a wand in the absence of one

The expression of Count Balor stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly twice, as if speaking to himself, "Releasing magic naturally? Have we all been mistaken? Perhaps we wizards do not need wands after all"

Such malicious rumors are simply heart-wrenching

Aiven secretly chuckled to himself, but on the surface, he still responded with an innocent expression, "I wanted to cast magic, so I just naturally released it. Father, shouldn't casting magic be done this way?"

Ahem! " Aiden interrupted Draco with a cough, then looked at Daphne Greengrass and said, "Daphne, I remember you have received your acceptance letter from Hogwarts, right?"

"No, no, no!" Count Balobo shook his head directly, "It is too far from August 1st; I cannot wait that long. I want to tell everyone that my son is not a dud!"

Joanna is also very busy; she needs to communicate with her wife group to enhance their relationship with each other

That is a highly advanced spellcasting technique, requiring not only exceptional talent but also formidable strength. In the entire wizarding world, only a handful of individuals have mastered the art of wandless magic. For instance, the powerful Headmaster Dumbledore has indeed mastered the technique of wandless spellcasting

In response to this news, some are naturally delighted while others are disheartened

Sitting opposite the two individuals were two young members of the Greengrass family, Daphne Greengrass and Astoria Greengrass. If Aiven remembers correctly, Astoria Greengrass is supposed to be Draco's future wife

In this situation, the heir of the Griffin family is unexpectedly a mute, which has become a joke in the British wizarding community. There are even rumors suggesting that the reason the heir of the Griffin family is mute is that the Earl of Griffin is not the biological father of the child

Joanna shot a glance at Count Balor and said, "That is our son, exceptionally gifted!"

Draco naturally knew about Ivan's situation

Is Ivan a dud?

However, the "Radiance Spell" he just released is not traditional magic, but a standard spell cast through the abilities of a Holy Light Mage

In addition to the four individuals, there are Anne Selwyn from the Selwyn family and Polly Clester from the Clester family

Count Balor let out a dry laugh, "As expected of my son Balor Bishap Bock! My son is no fool! The Griffin family has a bright future ahead! In three days, I will host a grand banquet to announce this news to everyone!"

Time passes swiftly, and with the continuous sending out of invitations by the Goldenscale family’s house-elves, nearly the entire wizarding community in Britain has come to know that Ivan is not a mute.

Yes

The banquet hall of the Golden Griffin Manor is adorned in a grand and festive manner, with an array of exquisite foods and beverages displayed on long wooden tables for the guests to partake at their leisure

The Gold Lion Griffin family and the Malfoy family are closely related as cousins and have a strong relationship. Ivan and Draco were childhood playmates, and given Draco's somewhat unpleasant personality, there were times when Ivan had to resort to magic to discipline Draco

The four pure-blood families present today are all closely associated with the Gryffindor family. Although there are members of the Death Eaters among them, this does not hinder the interactions between the pure-blood families

"What I mean is, how can one cast magic without a wand? Little Aiven, you did not use a wand to perform magic; is there no obstacle?" Count Barlow inquired once again.

"Aiven, you do not have a wand; how can you cast spells?" The Earl of Barlow keenly noticed this issue

The Gryffindor family does not exclude Muggles; in fact, they have a significant influence in the Muggle world and are often active within it, thereby subtly positioning themselves in opposition to the Dark Lord

Fortunately, the relationship between Count Balor and Joanna is deep and has not been affected by rumors and gossip

Is it important to have a wand for the Radiance spell, which is a type of Holy Light magic?

Draco's birthday is June 5, and Ivan's birthday is August 1, both in the same year. Therefore, Draco is the cousin, and Ivan is the younger cousin

The pressure that Count Balot bears is immense

In response to the inquiry from Count Balor, Evan secretly scoffed, but on the surface, he wore an expression of innocent naivety, "But, Father, I do not have a wand, do I?"

There is also Alvis Selwyn, the head of the Selwyn family, who is likewise a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, serving as the Director of the Department for Accidents and Catastrophes, and in terms of authority, he even surpasses the head of the Mark family

When Count Balot inquired, Joanna released Evan to allow him to respond

Wandless casting

In simple terms, Draco is Evan's cousin

The vast majority of wizards, once they lose their wands, will almost lose ninety percent of their combat power. If they learn to cast spells without a wand, it can definitely greatly enhance their own strength

Aiven's birthday is August 1, and his middle name "Augustine" signifies "one who is born in August"

Draco was interrupted by Ivan while he was speaking. He originally wanted to say that Ivan always used magic to punish him, but every time he complained, he was unsuccessful; instead, he ended up being severely dealt with after Ivan put on a show.

Aiven and Draco were very happy, surrounded by four little girls, but Aiven was lost in thought and had no intention of striking up a conversation. After all, Aiven was not into younger girls; those four were a bit too young.

The most common and practical magic in the battles between wizards and sorcerers is "Disarm Your Weapon"

"Three days later?" Joanna reminded, "In just over two months, it will be Evan's birthday. Why not wait until the birthday party?"

"Hmph!" Draco snorted, "I also received the admission letter from Hogwarts, how about you?" Draco looked at Ivan provocatively

How is that possible

Aiven shook his head directly, "There are no obstacles."

Finally, there is Hyman Clester of the Clester family, who is a good friend of Count Balor. He is currently employed at the Busbarton School of Magic in France, serving as a professor of Herbology

Count Balor Bock of the Golden Griffin is accompanying visiting guests, including Lucius Malfoy, the head of the Malfoy family; and Mark Gringotts, the head of the Gringotts family, who is a senior official at the Ministry of Magic, serving as the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation

Evan sat in the corner, with Draco Malfoy, who had golden hair, beside him. Due to the ties of the Black family, the Gryffindor Bock family and the Malfoy family are related as cousins

"How is it done?" Count Balot inquired, probing for the details.

So! Draco raised his voice, "Do you know that every time I complain..."

In fact, Aiven is not a dullard; his magical talent is quite remarkable, but he is simply engrossed in alchemy and unable to extricate himself from it

However, Aiven deliberately spoke to Daphne, reminding Draco that there were four adorable little girls in front of them, and he should pay attention to his great and glorious image

"Aiven, you have finally revealed yourself!" Draco made an effort to present himself, deliberately speaking loudly, "I have known all along that you are not a dud, but no one believed me!"
