A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

A Magical Journey Begins at Hogwarts Author: Jing Shen Tian Si

Synopsis: Transmigrated to a magical world, Aaron becomes the heir to an ancient family of magicians, the family's hope from birth.

Until an owl delivered an acceptance letter to Hogwarts, he resolutely packed his bags and embarked on the path to freedom.

He thought he could rest easy once Voldemort, the final boss, was defeated, but he gradually discovered that the world was not as simple as he thought...

Chapter 1 The Overprotected Boy

Diagon Alley.

A young man dressed in black robes looked at the bustling crowd on the street, then looked up at the sky, which was tinged with twilight, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He has been in this magical world for eleven years.

Eleven years!

From birth to the present, my worldview, outlook on life, and values ​​have undergone certain changes during my growth, and I have gradually come to accept this world.

Do you know how he's spent these past eleven years?

"Master, you should go back."

A voice came from behind Aaron, a well-dressed middle-aged man giving a careful reminder.

A few seconds later, seeing that the boy did not react.

The middle-aged man took a slow breath, and was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"There are still a few minutes left, right? Let me stay a little longer!"

"But what about Master and Madam..."

"Didn't they say I could do whatever I wanted before six o'clock?!" Aaron said, utterly speechless. "And what are you supposed to call me outside?"

"Boss," the middle-aged man said, looking quite troubled.

“That’s right, Genes.” Aaron nodded with satisfaction. “By the way, how much money did my little shop make today?”

“About eight Galleons,” Genes said with difficulty.

Eight Galleons isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either; in this world, it's barely enough to buy a wand.

But this number was something the butler found hard to talk about.

He couldn't understand why his young master would abandon the vast family assets and instead come to this alley to run a beverage shop that wasn't doing very well.

But he couldn't disobey the young master's wishes. Ensuring the young master's safety and returning home on time every day was his only task; he couldn't concern himself with anything else.

"Not bad," Aaron said casually, not caring much about the number.

Jingle Bell......

Just then, the alarm clock on the counter went off.

Aaron glanced speechlessly at the butler who was making the 'please' gesture, and then walked over to him quite consciously.

"Actually, I can manage on my own."

"Of course, young master, we all know you are capable, but you still need to follow the necessary rules. This is the instruction from your master, who is also your father."

"Heh!" Aaron chuckled sarcastically, without saying a word.

Aaron grabbed a handful of Floo Powder, walked into the fireplace inside the shop, clearly said 'Gaius Castle', and then sprinkled Floo Powder.

A green flame suddenly ignited, then quickly went out.

In the blink of an eye, Aaron had disappeared from the spot and returned to his home.

The butler nodded with satisfaction. He was about to take out his wand to use Apparition when he chuckled to himself and put it away. Half a minute later, he repeated Aaron's actions.

After the two left, two figures were reflected in the wall of Aaron's beverage shop.

They smiled at each other and prepared a cup of hot tea for one another, clearly indicating that they were not just ordinary acquaintances.

"When will this ever end?" the person on the left said, somewhat frustrated.

"Who knows? But it should be soon!"

The young master is exceptionally talented, and he's already eleven years old; it's time for him to start school.

"That's true, but I'm more concerned about the shift change in two days."

......

Gaius Castle.

Every day at six o'clock in the afternoon, there is always a house-elf waiting by the fireplace, and today is no exception.

Rumble!

The fireplace made a sound.

"Get ready, the young master is coming back," the house-elf reminded him to himself.

Almost the instant Aaron appeared, the house-elf used a cleaning spell on him, cleaning away the dirt on his clothes caused by the use of Floo Powder, and Aaron's clothes were instantly renewed.

Thanks, Joby.

“Young Master, it is our honor to serve you,” Yobi said excitedly.

Then the butler appeared in the fireplace, and Yoby repeated the magic as before, but Genes just nodded slightly, taking Yoby's actions for granted.

Although cleaning and tidying are indeed among the duties of house-elves.

"Where are my mom and dad? They haven't come back yet, have they?" Aaron asked, sounding a little annoyed.

“No,” Yoby said, sounding somewhat frightened.

“Young Master, although Master and Madam haven’t been home for a long time, they still care about you,” Genes said. “We’ve watched you grow up; you are definitely the happiest child in the world.”

“Stop, Uncle Genes.”

You know better than anyone whether you watched me grow up or monitored me as I grew up.

"I'm eleven years old now, not a three-year-old anymore, so don't try to fool me," Aaron said, feeling somewhat speechless.

From the time he was born until now, whenever he is not at home, there is someone following him, ostensibly for protection.

The Genes family had served the Gaius family for generations. They were the people Aaron and his parents trusted most, and the only ones who could openly protect Aaron.

As for what happens behind the scenes, well... that's a long story.

Although he never caught them, it's certain that there were at least two of them, and both were highly skilled.

Hearing Aaron's words, a faint bitterness appeared on Genes' face. "Young Master, it seems that we can't fool you anymore, ever since you can remember."

But those so-called surveillance claims are completely fabricated; they're just your imagination.

If an heir in another wizarding family had such protection, they would be secretly thrilled!

However, the young master always believed that this kind of "care" was surveillance, an invasion of his personal privacy, and he was very disgusted by it, even protesting to his parents more than once.

Each time, the Gaius couple would admit their mistakes to their son with remorse and sincerity, but the next day they would act as if nothing had happened and go about their business as usual!

Over time, not only Aaron, the young master, but even the butler himself became numb to it.

But no matter what, protecting the young master must not stop. As the butler and bodyguard, what he has to do is grit his teeth and deny it to the death. After all, the young master has no evidence.

When he is able to truly lead the hidden guard force, that will prove that he can stand on his own. The Gaius couple will not only not be angry, but will also laugh heartily three times.

They might even hold a banquet for some inexplicable reason to celebrate this memorable day.

"Hmph!" Aaron snorted, helpless against their shamelessness. "Did they say when they'd be back?"

"No, but it should be soon!" Genes was also a little uncertain.

"I shouldn't have asked you that. You said the same thing two weeks ago."

“They probably have something important to do!” Genes said. “You know, the old man and the others are always busy with this and that.”

Aaron rolled his eyes at him, not wanting to talk to him.

Because his parents would send a letter home every now and then, and each letter came from a different place, and without exception, they were all from tourist destinations.

This doesn't seem like the behavior of a busy person at all; it's more like a round-the-world trip.

Parents who leave their own son at home while they go out to have fun must have a lot of nerve.

Genes guessed what Aaron was thinking and said, "Young Master, it's almost dinner time. Is there anything extra you need us to prepare?"

“No need, just send it to my room later,” Aaron said, and walked up the stairs without looking back.

Genes sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to the house-elves.

Yoby immediately stood up straight and said, "I'll go prepare dinner for the young master right away."

"No need, someone has prepared the young master's dinner. You can just take it to him later."

“Yes, Butler Genes,” Joby said solemnly, then walked toward the kitchen.

Inside the room, Aaron lay down on the bed and silently opened his personal panel, which only he could see.

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic Power: 700 (Intermediate Mage, your magical journey has only just begun)]

[Talent: Once in a Century (Can be improved; increases magic power by 2 points daily, but the rate of increase will fluctuate with level and age)]

[Item: None]

[Magic Point: 1001]

Looking at the incredibly simple, even somewhat pathetic, control panel, Aaron sighed silently.

He got the system when he was nine years old. At first, he was quite excited, because having the system would definitely make his journey in this magical world much smoother.

But after he figured out the system, he felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. There was no newbie gift pack, only an ordinary panel and a low-key yet luxurious and meaningful system store.

Magic points are a good thing; they can increase magical power and also be used to purchase rare items in the system shop, but the downside is that they are acquired very slowly.

You get one sign-in opportunity per day, and it only works in places related to magic.

Signing in at his home only earns him one magic point, which adds up to a few hundred over a year. But in Diagon Alley, it's two magic points. Although there's not much difference between one and two, the temptation of doubling the points still led him to open a beverage shop in Diagon Alley, where he happily makes money every day.
