Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 3: Visit
Heb called his father. The old man was emotional after hearing it and said that he would come to visit his grandson in the near future.
Daisy was still angry, but she didn't quarrel with her husband under Albert's comfort. The female lawyer couldn't understand why her husband, who had always been smart, suddenly became so stupid. Being deceived by such a silly joke, he also intends to joke about the future of his precious son.
Actually, everyone thinks it's very interesting. After all, such things as magic only exist in legends.
Nia even pestered Albert to enchant herself.
"I won't." Albert spread his hands helplessly.
In fact, Albert certainly knows some spells, such as the simplest glow spell.
But without the help of the wand, it probably wouldn't work, so Albert didn't try.
At least, he won't try it in front of other people, otherwise how to explain it?
"Nia, there's no magic in this world at all, it's all a trick." Daisy said seriously, she didn't want her daughter to be full of those weird thoughts.
"Albert, the letter says that you can bring a pet to school. Are you going to take Tom to school with you?" Nia didn't care about her mother's words, she picked up the shorthair cat and went to Albert's side.
"I won't think about it until I'm sure magic exists," Albert said solemnly.
Of course, this is actually to appease mother Daisy. She now looks like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
An owl flew into the living room through the window and threw a piece of parchment on the table.
The parchment reads:
I will be visiting at 3:20 - Professor McGonagall.
"3:20?" Albert took the parchment, glanced at the clock and murmured, "One more minute."
"Very well, I will definitely debunk the tricks of those liars."
At 3:20, the doorbell rang outside.
The Anderson family looked at each other, and finally Herb Anderson, the head of the family, went to open the door, while Nia followed.
Opening the door, Herb found an elderly woman standing outside his door.
"Professor McGonagall?" Herb looked suspiciously at the woman in front of him, and said dryly, "Oh, okay, please come in, Albert is in the hall, if you can prove the existence of magic."
"You can do magic?" Nia asked.
"That's what I'm here for!" Professor McGonagall is very good at dealing with this kind of thing. She has experienced many similar things. "Some families from Muggles will have similar questions."
"Muggle what? Muggle?" Anderson's expression froze, repeating what he had just heard.
The other person calls himself a Muggle?
"Muggles are ordinary people who don't know magic." After McGonagall entered the living room, his eyes fell on the only boy in the room.
"Hello Mr. Anderson."
"Hello, Ms. McGonagall." Albert looked at the witch in front of him. Professor McGonagall's appearance seemed to be different from the movie. To be honest, after more than ten years, his memory in this regard has been blurred.
"We hope you can prove...the existence of magic." Daisy served Professor McGonagall a cup of unsweetened black tea.
"Of course, please see!" McGonagall took out her wand and tapped it on the teacup, and the teacup actually turned into a little mouse.
This was the first time Albert saw magic. He grabbed the little gray mouse curiously: "It's amazing."
"This is magic? I will never let Albert waste time learning such boring tricks, can't I expect him to be a magician in the future?" Daisy took out the aura of a lawyer and pointed out: " With all due respect, I am worried about Albert's future. A diploma from a wizarding school should be no different from waste paper in the world of ordinary people. The premise is that if you really will issue a diploma."
"Every qualified graduate of Hogwarts can find a decent job in the wizarding world, don't worry about that," explained Professor McGonagall.
After seeing magic, Daisy knew that she could not deny the existence of magic, but she still planned to make a final fight: "Albert, I think Eton College is a better choice, that is your own efforts. The place you just won. If you want to develop into finance, it is best not to go to Hogwarts, where your talents will not be displayed."
Heb looked at his wife and sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that Daisy didn't want Albert to go to Hogwarts.
"Son, you choose, we respect your choice."
"With all due respect." McGonagall cleared his throat and explained, "Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use magic. And, once magic gets out of control, it can cause some bad things. "
"Okay, it seems I have no choice!" Albert couldn't help raising his eyebrows, in fact, he had already made a choice.
"But, Albert..." Daisy still wanted to say something. However, it was interrupted by Nia.
"Ma'am, can I go to Hogwarts too?"
"Only eleven-year-old children who have received an invitation to Hogwarts can study there." McGonagall declined politely.
"Nia, you are not yet eleven years old." Albert touched his sister's head, looked at Professor McGonagall and asked, "Where should I go to buy things? And that ticket? What should I do? Where to take the train?"
Is this an agreement?
Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief~IndoMTL.com~ and told Albert the approximate route to the Leaky Cauldron, "You can see it, even though the Muggles around you are invisible... Muggles mean Ordinary people who don't understand magic. By the way, the owner of the bar is Tom, as for how to get to Diagon Alley, you can ask Tom, and he will be happy to guide you."
"As for platform 9 and 3/4, it is located in the partition wall between platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross Station, just go through it."
"It's ridiculous to take the train to the wizarding school. Are your magic carpets all broken?" Daisy sarcastically pointed.
"Daisy." Herb coughed lightly and handed the record just now to Professor McGonagall to avoid missing any key information.
"Then see you at Hogwarts on September 1st, Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall was about to leave.
"Professor, can you restore it to its original state?" Albert pointed to the mouse that the teacup had turned into.
"Oh, of course!" Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and the mouse swung the teacup again.
After Albert sent the other party out, Professor McGonagall directly Apparated and disappeared.
"She disappeared?" Herb looked in disbelief at where Professor McGonagall had just stood.
"Dad, are we going to London tomorrow?" Albert asked.
"Oh, oh, go shopping in London tomorrow," said Herb dully.
"I'm going too." Nia said coquettishly, holding her father's hand.
"Wait for next time." Albert shook his head and said, "I'll go to get acquainted with the place first, and next time I'll take you and my mother there and come back to buy you a gift."
"Hate, Albert really hates it." Nia left angrily.
Albert reluctantly spread his hands towards Herb, turned and entered the living room.
