Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 326: End of term relaxation

After the exam results came out, Hogwarts had already gone on holiday as usual, but this year was different from previous years. The last event of the Triwizard Tournament had to be held on June 20th, so the holiday had to be postponed by a week, but the students had no complaints.

While waiting for the race to start, Sainz gathered a few of his friends and held a small tea party in his office.

He asked the twins, "How is the preparation for your magic trick workshop going?"

Fred said, "We have done preliminary market research at school, and I think we can start anytime."

He asked the two girls about their plans, and Angelina said that she wanted to apply to become a member of the Quidditch team after graduation, but she had not yet decided which team to apply to.

Arya is also a member of the Quidditch team, but her passion for Quidditch is not as strong as Angelina's, and she still hasn't figured out what she wants to do in the future.

Ben and Adam had talked before, and Ben seemed willing to follow his parents' arrangement and work in the Ministry of Magic for a while. Compared to Ben, Adam has a stronger adventurous personality, and he seems to like freedom more.

As they were talking, they mentioned the special course for sixth graders, which required a fee of twelve Galleons for the Apparition course.

Speaking of this, some are happy and some are worried. The twins passed it on the first try, Angelina and Adam also passed the make-up exam, but Ben and Alia said very depressedly that they did not pass.

Sainz was not surprised by this. Not everyone can master the Apparition. In the original trajectory, it seemed that any wizard could Apparition, but that was just a survivor bias. In fact, there were many wizards who could not Apparition.

Otherwise, the significance of Knight Bus’ existence will be greatly reduced.

In fact, the people who appeared in the original trajectory, whether they were friendly with Harry or hostile to Harry, could not be considered weak. Even Neville Longbottom, who seemed to be a fool with uncoordinated hands and feet, became the leader of the DA army after he awakened. He just lacked confidence before, but after he built up his confidence, he surpassed the vast majority of wizards.

"Don't worry too much about it," Sainz comforted them, "Apparition is not a sign of whether a wizard is qualified or not."

Having said that, Ben and Alia's expressions told everyone that they still felt they were inferior to everyone else.

It's no wonder they feel disappointed. Others can appear thousands of miles away in a snap, but it takes them dozens or hundreds of times longer to travel to the same place. Not only that, if they are hostile to others, they will be passive targets.

Sainz couldn't do anything about this, and he didn't have the ability to help others learn magic.

He felt that the reason why he couldn't learn Apparition was, firstly, a problem with his magic power, and secondly, a lack of confidence in himself.

He remembered that when he went to take the test, the examiner said that the candidate next to him had taken the test many times but failed every time. He rejected that person because he had lost confidence in whether he could pass the test after failing many times. The reason why he signed up again and again was just because he was hoping for a lucky break.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Sainz clapped his hands and said, "Forget it, the office is too small. Why don't you all go to my house and let my sister-in-law make a good meal for everyone. And Henian, let him play some music for everyone. It's better for us to eat and talk than just drink water here."

"Okay!" The twins were the first to agree. "Last time I went to your house, I only stayed for a short while and left early. This time, we have to have some fun."

"Okay, as long as you don't accidentally break the school rules," Sainz said nonchalantly, "I'm different from you. No one cares about me now, hehe!"

"Ugh~"

Seven people came to Hogsmeade in a hurry.

"Hey, Fred, George," Ron asked after seeing Harry and the other two who were also strolling around Hogsmeade.

Harry and Hermione greeted him happily, "Hello, Sainz, there are so many of you."

The twins didn't answer Ron directly, "You have to ask Sainz. He invited us."

The twins did not directly say to go to Sainz's house, but handed the initiative to him. Sainz was very satisfied with the twins' actions. He nodded to them, turned to the trio and said, "I am inviting them to my house. If you are interested, you can come along."

"Oh!" Sainz's words shocked Ron, "I didn't know your family was in Hogsmeade. They never told me!"

"It's not their fault," Sainz said. "I asked them not to tell anyone. Um... do you want to come?"

Harry and the other three looked at each other and said, "Of course!"

"Then let's go. My home is at the foot of the mountain."

Harry said curiously, "By the way, Sainz, I haven't been to any other wizard's house except Ron's."

Hermione said with bright eyes, "Me too!"

Angelina and Alia were both Harry's teammates on the Quidditch team and were no strangers to each other. Alia said with a hint of boasting, "I think Sainz's house is more like a wizard's home, even though it's the only wizard's house I've ever been to."

Angelina said angrily, "Haven't you ever been to my house?"

"But your house isn't a purely wizarding residence, is it?"

"Okay, you're right."

When they arrived at Sainz's house, Harry looked up and read the words on the door, "Autumn House."

"Your house is so big!" Ron looked around at the walls on both sides, "This must have cost a lot of money!"

"Ron!" Hermione pulled at his clothes in dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong!"

Sainz walked up the steps, "Jack, it's me."

"Welcome home, master!" Jack opened the door from the inside.

"Wow~" Harry and Ron exclaimed in a very ignorant manner, and Hermione also looked surprised.

In this era, the concept of smart home in the Muggle world is still in the conceptual stage, so it is normal for them to be a little surprised. But it is hard to say whether the Muggles will be interested in these after their smart facilities are developed in a few decades.

When everyone entered the yard, Sainz said, "Ben, you all go in first. I'll introduce the three of them to Jack."

The twins waited until he knew that he was leaving the door open for the three of them, nodded and went in without stopping, "Hey, fourth sister-in-law, did you miss us?"

"Jack."

"Master of the house."

"Let me introduce these three, ladies first. This is Miss Hermione Granger."

"Hello, Miss Granger."

"Hello, Jack!"

Sainz introduced the three people one by one, and the three people greeted Jack.

"go in!"

Going around the screen wall, they saw the people inside. Hermione said in surprise: "Are those all alchemical puppets..."
