The silence was broken by a rush of footsteps. The three of them looked towards the stairs together. Lily walked in front with his lips pursed, followed by Petunia.
Petunia glanced at his parents with a guilty conscience. When he came to the living room, he took a look. Instead of sitting next to his parents like Lily, he sat next to Manus.
Mr. Evans's eyelids twitched and he wanted to have an attack but he held it back.
Manus looked at this scene and looked at Lily in surprise:
"You don't support Petunia learning magic either?"
Hearing this, Lily and Mr. and Mrs. Evans were both stunned.
"Yes... sigh."
As soon as Lily uttered a word, she received a glare from Petunia. She sighed:
"Petunia, dear, my sister, it's not that I don't want to see you become Wizard - what harm will this do to me? There are a lot of brothers and sisters in Hogwarts who are all Wizard. The problem is that now is really not the time."
Lily tried to reason with Petunia:
"In Wizarding World, there has never been a precedent for Squib and Muggle to be able to obtain magic power. If it were normal times, even if it would cause some waves, I believe there is a high probability that they will be able to obtain it in the end. There was a good result. But it's different now. Voldemort itself promotes Pure-bloodism. If he knew that there was a Muggle who became Wizard..."
This is like placing dozens of Dark Mark in the air of their house, actively attracting Voldemort to kill them all.
Petunia frowned:
"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't let him know?"
Wizard Lifespan is very long. She can't be unable to learn magic as long as Voldemort is alive, right?
"How could he not know? If a living person over eleven years old enters Hogwarts, who can you hide it from?"
"Why should I go to Hogwarts?"
Lily blinked:
"... But didn't you just say that you were going to learn magic openly?"
"Lily, it's not that only by entering Hogwarts can you learn magic openly. Petunia just wants to let you know that she is learning magic, so that she can have more time to attend classes normally."
Manus spoke clearly:
"Theoretically, little Wizard must receive education. This is to prevent magic from rioting and causing bad effects without instruction, and also to enable little Wizard to have a basic spell-casting ability."
"Therefore, it is okay to attend any magic school. If the family has the conditions, it is also okay to leave little Wizard at home for education. Petunia will take the last path... right?"
At the end, Manus was a little unsure. He looked at Petunia:
"Perhaps you also want to experience the feeling of attending a magic school? Going to Hogwarts is indeed too conspicuous and dangerous. Lily is right about this. But it doesn't matter if you go to other magic schools. I also have some skills in this area."
For Wizard and Muggle, the national boundaries that have changed over the past few decades are not that important. The Wizard in Europe are somewhat related to each other.
Through Wizengamot, it's hard to tell, but Durmstrang of Germany and Beauxbatons of France can still arrange it for Petunia.
"I don't want it! I'll just learn from you at home."
Petunia was quite aware of her own situation. Before Manus taught her magic, he had already told her the circumstances and reasons why she would not be fully accepted by Wizarding World in the future.
If you want to live in Muggle World, you can't tell other Muggle that you were a Wizard. If you want to live in Wizarding World, you can't tell other Wizard that you were a Muggle.
If you go to a magic school, there are too many differences between Wizard, who started learning how to obtain magic power, and Wizard, who was born with someone else, and Petunia cannot guarantee that he will be able to perform perfectly.
She is also not sure that the teaching materials of Wizard are suitable for her.
Petunia is very clear that she and those born Wizard are taking completely different paths. Instead of insisting on integrating into the other path, it is better to study with Manus from beginning to end, and then enter Wizarding World at the age after graduation.
By then, not many people would notice her difference, and even if they did, she would have every reason to ignore them.
After explaining, Lily nodded clearly and turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Evans:
"I'm fine."
Mr. Evans's face is still stiff. He completely understood what Lily, Manus and Petunia said just now.
Now what Lily said was a low enough threshold for understanding, but it also made them even more disappointed - even Lily didn't object. There were only two magicians in the family, so they couldn't stop it.
"Look, kids, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being Wizard..."
Mr. Evans rubbed his face and said helplessly to his two daughters:
"But your mother and I never thought that we would give birth to two Wizards. Well, I mean, we were well prepared for the arrival of children, but all these preparations were for... children who grow up in the world of ordinary people. Can you understand?"
Mrs. Evans nodded and added:
"Whether it's psychological preparation, material preparation... and social preparation."
Cokeworth is not big. As an industrial town that was once derived from the development of industry, it has now become depressed with the changes in productivity and the transfer of industrial centers.
Basically, different families in the community are familiar with each other, and their children go to school in basically the same place - there are not that many schools in the entire Cokeworth area.
Unlike the Jin family, Evans family was Wizard from the beginning. They had little contact with their neighbors and had long been accustomed to being a solitary type. They maintained normal and relatively active interactions with their neighbors.
Originally, Lily became Wizard, and Petunia was still an ordinary person, so the impact on them was not that big. At most, the neighbors were wondering why Evans family's little daughter was missing all day long, and she didn't even know where she went to school...
He said that he was going to study in a far away place, so they didn't ask too many questions.
This is great, both daughters are going to be Wizard. On the social level of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, their two daughters will basically disappear in the future.
Obviously both daughters are only fourteen years old, so it would be a good idea to enter the state where both daughters are married in advance. When the neighbors asked about their daughters, they didn't know what to say.
Although it may be a bit selfish to say this, it is impossible for them to integrate into that Wizarding World with their two daughters, and their normal life has become a mess...
Lily blinked. Although she could probably understand it, it was actually a bit difficult to understand. She had never thought about this or felt anything like this.
