Chapter 3 Visit
Herb called his father. The old man became emotional after hearing this and said he would come over to visit his grandson in the near future.
Daisy was still angry, and she didn't quarrel with her husband because of Albert's comfort. The female lawyer couldn't understand why her husband, who had always been smart, suddenly became so stupid. He was deceived by boring jokes and planned to make fun of his precious son's future.
Actually, everyone finds it interesting that magic only exists in legends after all.
Nia even pestered Albert to ask him to do magic for her.
"I can't." Albert spread his hands helplessly.
Actually, Albert certainly knows some spells, such as the simplest luminous spell.
But without the help of a magic wand, it probably wouldn't be possible, so Albert didn't try.
At least, he won’t try it in front of other people, otherwise how to explain it?
"Nia, there is no magic in this world at all, it's all lies." Daisy said seriously, she didn't want her daughter to be filled with weird thoughts.
"Albert, the letter said 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, and picked up the short-haired cat and walked to Albert's side.
"I will not consider this issue until I am sure that magic exists." Albert said seriously.
Of course, these words are actually to appease mother Daisy. She now looked like a ticking time bomb that might explode at any moment.
An owl flew into the living room through the window and dropped a piece of parchment on the table.
The parchment reads:
I will go to visit Professor McGonagall at 3:20.
"3:20?" Albert took the parchment, looked at the clock and muttered: "One minute left."
“Very good, I will definitely expose the tricks of those liars.”
At 3:20, the doorbell rang outside.
The Andersons looked at each other, and finally Herb Anderson, the head of the family, opened the door, and Nia followed.
Opening the door, Herb found an elderly woman standing outside his door.
"Professor McGonagall?" Herb looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously, and said dryly: "Oh, okay, please come in, Albert is in the hall, if you can prove the existence of magic."
“Do you know magic?” Nia asked, leaning her head.
"That's why I'm here!" Professor McGonagall is very good at dealing with this kind of thing. She has experienced many similar things. "Some families who come from Muggles will have similar questions."
"What? Muggles?" Anderson's expression froze and he repeated 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, her 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 different from that in the movie. To be honest, after more than ten years, his memory in this regard has become blurry.
“Of course, please look!” Mag pulled out the wand and tapped the tea cup, and the tea cup actually turned into a little mouse.
This was the first time Albert saw magic. He grabbed the little gray mouse curiously: "It's very magical."
"Is this magic? I will never let Albert waste time learning such boring tricks. Do you expect him to become a magician in the future?" Daisy pointed out sharply with the momentum of a lawyer: "With all due respect, , I feel worried about Albert’s future. The graduation certificate from the magic school should be no different from waste paper in the world of ordinary people. The premise is that if you will really issue a diploma."
“Every qualified graduate of Hogwarts can find a decent job in the wizarding world. You don’t have to worry about this.” Professor McGonagall explained.
After Daisy saw magic, she knew that she could not deny the existence of magic, but she still planned to give it a last try: "Albert, I think Eton is a better choice. You have to work hard to get it." quota. If you want to develop in finance, it’s best not to go to Hogwarts, as your talents will certainly not be fully utilized there.”
Herb looked at his wife and sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that Daisy did not want Albert to go to Hogwarts.
“Son, you make your own choice, we respect your choice.”
"With all due respect." McGonagall cleared her throat and explained: "Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use magic. Moreover, once the magic is out of control, some bad things will happen."
"Well, it seems I have no choice!" Albert couldn't help but raised his eyebrows. In fact, he had already made his choice.
“But, Albert...” Daisy wanted to say something else. However, he was interrupted by Nia.
“Ma’am, can I go to Hogwarts too?”
“Only children who are eleven years old and have received an invitation to Hogwarts can study there.” McGonagall declined politely.
"Nia, you are not eleven years old yet." Albert touched his sister's head, looked at Professor McGonagall and asked: "Where should I go to buy things? And that ticket? Where should I sit? train?"
Does this count as agreement?
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and told Albert the approximate route to the Leaky Cauldron, "You can definitely see it, although the Muggles around you can't see it... Muggles refer to ordinary people who don't understand magic. By the way, the bar owner’s name is Tom. As for how to get to Diagon Alley, you can ask Tom, he will be happy to help you guide.”
“As for Platform 9 and 3/4, it is located in the partition wall between Platform 9 and Platform 10 at King’s Cross Station, just go through it.”
“It would be ridiculous to go to wizarding school by train. Are all your magic carpets broken?” Daisy said sharply.
"Daisy." Herb coughed slightly and handed the record to Professor McGonagall to avoid missing any key information.
"Then, we'll see you at Hogwarts on September 1st, Mr. Anderson." Professor McGonagall was about to leave.
“Professor, can you restore it to its original shape?” Albert pointed at the mouse that the tea cup had turned into.
“Oh, of course!” Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the mouse filled the tea cup again.
After Albert sent the other party out, Professor McGonagall directly apparated and disappeared.
“She disappeared?” Herb looked at the place where Professor McGonagall had just stood in disbelief.
“Dad, shall we go to London tomorrow?” Albert asked.
“Oh, oh, I’ll go shopping in London tomorrow.” Herb said blankly.
“I’m going too.” Nia said coquettishly, grabbing her father’s hand.
"Wait for next time." Albert shook his head and said, "I will go and get familiar with the place first. I will take you with your mother next time and come back to buy you a gift."
“It’s annoying, Albert is so annoying.” Nia left angrily.
Albert helplessly spread his hands towards Herb, turned around and entered the living room. There were still a large and small children in the family who needed to be comforted.
