Harry Potter and the Rise of the Ordinary Person Chapter 16:

After 　　 Joe trained as Animagus, he did not choose to register with the Ministry of Magic, but left it as his hole card. Julie promised to help Joe keep it secret.

　　 The common secret has brought the two closer together.

　　 One night, Joe sat by the window and slowly drank a cup of steaming tea. A potion was added to the tea to quickly relieve fatigue. He would drink some before going to bed every day.

　　 He wanted to do the same again, looking at the stars outside the window, but today was a little different from usual. An owl he hadn’t seen before fluttered and fluttered its wings. It landed on Qiao’s mailbox, and then put a The letter was stuffed in.

　　Whose owl is this? Iber’s, maybe not. His owl would just break into my bedroom and ask for dried meat, Joe thought. In any case, go and see what is written in the letter.

　　 After the owl outside flew away, Joe trot all the way to open the mailbox.

　　 "The address is written here, it doesn't seem to be a mistake." Joe said to himself. He observed again, the envelope was made of heavy parchment. The address was written in emerald green ink. No stamps are posted. Then he turned the envelope over and saw a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounded by the capital "H" letter.

　　"This is an invitation letter from Hogwarts." Joe said excitedly to himself, "Where can I finally go to school!"

　　 Then he took a deep breath to calm his restlessness. Then he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. It says on the letter.

　　 Principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Union of Magic, President of the Wizarding Association, First-Class Magician of Sir Merlin)

　　Dear Mr. Goul:

　　 We are happy to inform you that you have been approved to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment. The semester is scheduled to start on September 1. We will be waiting for your owl before July 31st to bring your reply.

　　 Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Vice Principal (Female).

　　Because it was very late today, Joe gave the letter to David and Anna the next day.

　　 "Hogwarts? Never heard of it? When did you sneak in to sign up?" David asked.

　　 "No." Then Joe briefly introduced Hogwarts to David and Anna.

　　 "That's it!" Anna exclaimed, it turns out that there is such a magic school in the world! "What about your thoughts?"

　　 "I plan to go to school at Hogwarts."

　　 "Alright, so at least the two of us don't have to worry about which middle school you go to!" David said, "To celebrate Joe's admission to Hogwarts, I will cook a big meal by myself today. ."

　　 "Forget it, let me cook today!"

　　 "That couldn't be better, I'll help you." Anna said.

After 　　 got the admission notice, Joe also rarely gave himself a vacation! No longer study magic, but to accompany David and Anna attentively.

　　 One morning soon after, a woman appeared at the door of Gul’s house. She was wearing square glasses, curly black hair in a high bun, and wearing a dark green robe with Scottish plaid, with a very expression. Seriously, on the whole, it feels like a rigid and fair lady.

　　 She rang the doorbell politely, and after a while, David opened them.

　　 "Good afternoon, this is Minerva McGonagall, I need to find Mr. Joe Al Goul, I believe he should be at home."

　　 "Which Hogwarts vice principal are you?"

　　 "It's me, sir."

　　 "He happens to be at home. Come in first, madam." David said. "He is making shortbread in the kitchen and it will be ready soon."

　　"A Chinese dim sum, madam. It's delicious, you can also try it."

　　 After a while, Joe’s voice came from the kitchen, "Puff pastry is here."

　　 "The shortbread is ready." David said to McGonagall, then he turned to Joe and Anna who had just come out of the kitchen and said, "Come here, this is the former principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

　　 "Hello Principal, this is Joe." Joe said as he put a plate of steaming shortbread on the table. "Try the shortbread I made first."

　　 After listening, McGonagall carefully picked up a shortbread and took a small bite.

　　 "Greasy but not greasy, crispy and delicious, your cooking skills are very good, Mr. Goul."

　　 "Thank you!"

　　 "Since you all know it, let me introduce Hogwarts first."

　　 "We all know this, your Principal." Anna said.

　　"Oh! McGonagall felt curiosity after hearing this. "How did you know? "

　　 "Let me do it!" Joe replied calmly. "I was seen by an adult wizard once when I accidentally used magic power, and then we met. After she knew that I received the admission letter, she introduced us to Hogwarts. You should know that wizard, She called Julie Abbot and was a Gryffindor in the past." Joe again pushed his knowledge of Hogwarts onto Julie.

　　 "Julie from the Iber family! I remember her, she was a very energetic girl." McGonagall recalled, "In that case, take your admission notice and I will take you directly to Diagon Alley."

　　 "Thank you."

　　 Then McGonagall led Joe through the Broken Cauldron Bar to Diagon Alley.

　　 Take out your admission letter, which contains a list of books and equipment you need for the first grade.

　　 Joe opened the second page of the envelope and said:

　　 "Hmm!" McGonagall raised his eyebrows after listening. "I'd better follow, lest you forget what to buy."
