A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

“An engagement is not a marriage. We’re just finding you a fiancée,” Lisanna laughed. “If you think one isn’t enough, you can marry a few more.”

"She's really my mom!" Aaron gave Vick a pleading look, but he ignored it and turned his face away with practiced ease.

"Why are you looking at him?" Lisanna said irritably. "You must not be like your father, who clearly likes someone but insists on keeping it to himself. If I hadn't been so bold, you might have been born a few years later."

"Oh?" Aaron looked at Vick with amusement, and immediately felt much better. "Dad, your image in my heart has been cut in half."

"Haha, that's all in the past." Vico quickly changed the subject. "Now we're talking about your life's most important event."

"Tch!" Aaron said speechlessly, placing the blind date list on the table. "Let me just say it, I don't agree."

"Why?" Lisanna asked, somewhat displeased. "These are all exceptional girls, one in a hundred."

“First of all,” Aaron tapped his index finger on the table, “I’m only thirteen. It’s too early for me to be thinking about this.”

Secondly, this is something that should be my decision...

“Of course you can make your own decision, if…” Vico hesitated, “we’re just giving you more options.”

"The options are... but who are these people you've chosen?" Aaron was utterly speechless. "I looked at three, but I don't recognize any of them."

Lisanna and Vico exchanged a glance and carefully organized the list on the table.

“Son, I still hope you can reconsider the people on the list, okay?” Lisanna said nervously, her voice even carrying a hint of pleading.

Aaron suddenly felt a pang of heartache. His mother never showed this kind of emotion before; this was the first time.

"Is this important?"

Lisanna pursed her lips and remained silent, while Viko nodded seriously, "Your mother spent more than half a year and traveled to more than ten countries to compile this list."

"It can't be that bad!" Aaron frowned.

“You might think this is a joke, but it’s absolutely your mother’s deepest love for you,” Vico said with a gentle smile. “We’ll tell you the specific reasons later.”

However, you'd better be prepared; this list is truly... extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Aaron hesitated for a long time before leaning back weakly.

"You guys are really too concerned about things."

To be clear, I will only consider it, but that doesn't mean I will choose any of them.

Lisanna breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out one of the parchment sheets. "I think this one is fine, Avian Lilith."

"My God!" Aaron couldn't help but swear. "Don't tell me she's related to vampires."

"Hmm... She is Lilith's adopted daughter, not a direct descendant, but she holds a high position among the immortal race."

"So, she really is a vampire?"

I guess so!

However, she doesn't drink human blood, and she can walk in the sunlight like a normal person.

Aaron chuckled, feeling utterly hopeless.

Is this about drinking human blood? This crosses racial boundaries; it's too much for a thirteen-year-old kid.

Vico seemed to understand Aaron's concerns and said, "As long as you like it, some problems are not problems. There are special magic potions in the family treasury, which are Mor's masterpiece. Combined with the elixir refined by Lant, they can eliminate the defects in the bloodline to a certain extent."

She can completely shed her vampire identity if she so chooses, but her talents will not be affected.

hiss!

Aaron gasped. "Are these two ancestors trying to defy the heavens?"

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Vico slapped Aaron on the head. “Their original intention was just to remove the toxins from the wizard’s blood. Using it alone would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, but using it in combination could turn something rotten into something magical.”

"You have to admit it!" Aaron said with a wry smile. "Even if there are no negative consequences, and we are mutually in love, would the vampires agree? She is their little princess!"

“They will agree,” Vico nodded confidently. “In fact, they would love to, because their marriage partner is the sole heir of the Gaius family.”

Aaron blinked, gaining a clearer understanding of the Gaius family's influence.

"next."

Lisanna immediately took out the next piece of paper. "Tines, an elf. Although her status is relatively low, I have never seen such a sunny girl as her."

"Hehe! Next one."

"Oh!" Lisanna said dejectedly, "How about this one?"

Veronella, a mermaid, is a normal mermaid, completely different from the siren race.

"Ah..." Aaron grabbed his hair, "Next."

Are you not satisfied?

"What do you think, Mother?" Aaron said weakly. "Even if you want to choose a daughter-in-law, at least find me a normal person!"

"Puff! Hahaha..."

Vico clutched his stomach and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Is it that funny?" Lisanna glanced at him sideways, her voice filled with coldness.

Vico couldn't help but swallow, and his exaggerated laughter instantly fell silent.

“I told you before that your choice was too extravagant, your son might not like it.”

"But they are really good and will be a huge help to my son."

“I don’t deny that the Gaius family can indeed eliminate any bad elements from the bloodline, but…” Vico couldn’t help but laugh again halfway through his sentence.

"That's enough," Aaron said, slamming his hand on the table.

"I'm sorry, son... I just couldn't help it."

"I understand, I totally understand. If it were me, I'd probably laugh myself hoarse." Aaron gritted his teeth, but seeing the faint disappointment on his mother's face, he suppressed his displeasure. "Let's exclude all those who aren't human!"

Lisanna nodded gently and took out four of the remaining seven pieces of parchment, making Aaron's eyelids twitch.

"Son, your mother has really good taste."

I also investigated these seven girls, and apart from their race, they are top-notch in every aspect.

"If you'd like, you can marry several more, no problem."

Aaron rolled his eyes at his father. "Don't make it sound so easy for you to have multiple wives and concubines. Why don't you marry a few more yourself?"

"Dare he?"

Vico immediately shuddered, then spread his hands at his son and said with a deep expression, "You understand."

"I understand." Aaron nodded with some sympathy. "He has the desire to steal, but not the courage."

"What are you saying?" Vico immediately became agitated. "It's not that your father doesn't have the means or the ability. I received so many love letters when I was in school that I could burn them as firewood."

But I didn't take any of it seriously. Having your mother is enough for me in this life.

"You're smart to know what's good for you," Lisanna said with satisfaction.

Aaron, however, failed to grasp the key point of the words and stared blankly at Vick, "Father, you received a love letter too."

“Of course…” Vico said smugly, then realized something, “What do you mean by ‘also’? You don’t mean…?”

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Aaron denied it three times in a row.

“I understand.” Vico winked at Aaron. “I get it.”

Aaron: ......

Damn! I was careless.

"So, out of the ten options you gave me, seven of them weren't human?"

"You think too highly of me!"

Vico shrugged. "Your grandfather and I would never do that, but you're different. Your future is going to be much brighter than ours."

"I feel like I've heard that phrase somewhere before," Aaron said thoughtfully.

By the way, it seems that some of our ancestors said the same thing.

But even the most wonderful things shouldn't lead to interracial love!

“Let’s look at the remaining three options first!” Lisanna interrupted the two and placed a piece of parchment in front of Aaron. “Falma Flamel, she is Nicolas Flamel’s distant niece.”

“Uh…” Aaron’s lips twitched. “I don’t quite understand. As far as I know, Lemaître has lived for at least six or seven hundred years. Is his niece… proper?”

"A slip of the tongue," Lisanna said with an embarrassed smile. "He's a descendant of one of his relatives! He's also one of Le Maire's few relatives in this world."

"This girl is nice. She's two years older than you, but I really like her personality and looks. Besides, she inherited Flamel's alchemy skills, so she's a good match for my son."

"Got it, next," Aaron said impatiently.

“Hermione Granger,” Lisanna shrugged, “your best female friend at Hogwarts.”

Hearing this, Aaron blinked blankly and said wearily, "Just because we have a good relationship doesn't mean I have to choose her as my fiancée!"

Besides, it's uncertain whether they'll even agree.

I'm curious, how did you end up choosing her?

"Because we have a good relationship, I asked Genes to keep an eye on you."

She's Muggle-born, but incredibly talented, and most importantly, you don't dislike her.

"And then she got on this list, that's so hasty!"

"I still think highly of her. For our family, background isn't that important. She's somewhat like me in the past, and her feelings for you are different; it's a kind of innocent, budding affection."

If she truly loves my son but can't make up her mind, I'm not incapable of helping her.

Bang!

Vico tumbled off the sofa. "It's best not to."

"What do you mean?" Aaron asked, puzzled.

Vico hesitated, looking at his son with a complicated expression. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Lisanna smiling at him.

Although it was July, Vico felt the biting cold wind, colder than when he was in Antarctica.

Gulu!

"It means that your own affairs are not for us elders to interfere with."
