Chapter 10 Minerva McGonagall
Wright ultimately did not send the written reply.
Although you can receive a letter of admission to Hogwarts from the postman, this shows to a certain extent that letters from wizards can be sent through Muggle post offices. But no matter what, it is really stupid to take an envelope without a stamp to the post office to send a letter. What's more, a faculty member will be here tomorrow morning.
the next day.
Since getting up in the morning, Wright has been thinking about which professor will come to visit the orphanage today. After hurriedly eating breakfast, Wright began to pace in the garden, waiting for a wizard to knock on the door. For this reason, he also made a handover with the children on duty today.
Boom!
The doorbell did not ring, but there was a knock on the door. Wright quickly walked to the door. Through the door mirror, Wright saw a serious-looking woman standing outside. She was wearing an emerald green cloak, and her black hair was pulled into a tight bun.
Wright quickly opened the door, and the witch outside the door stepped into the Juan Children's Welfare Home.
"Hello, little gentleman, I am Minerva McGonagall."
…
In Suzanne's office.
Professor McGonagall and Susanna sat on both sides of the coffee table, and Wright stood beside them and poured tea for them. After pouring the tea, Wright stood quietly behind Susanna.
Professor McGonagall observed Wright carefully. She did not expect that the young gentleman who opened the door for her just now was the target of this trip. Slowly, a satisfied expression appeared on Professor McGonagall's face, but this also made Susanna's expression become a little cold.
"Sorry, can you repeat which school you are from?" Susanna took a sip of tea and then said seriously.
"Oh, of course! I come from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is the best magic school in the world and teaches students how to use magic." Professor McGonagall said calmly. This kind of experience is not uncommon for her. Almost every guardian or parent of a Muggle-born student of school age will ask questions like this repeatedly.
"With all due respect, I have never heard of a school called Hogwarts in the UK, not to mention that it specializes in teaching magic!" Susanna's expression became more serious, and it sounded like she didn't believe Mai at all. What Professor Ge said.
"What's more, I hope you can understand this. Wright's SATs score is the first in the country. Anyone with a little common sense will know what level this is." Susanna glanced at Professor McGonagall's black wizard robe and continued. , "What's more, Wright has decided to go to Fetis Middle School, am I right? Wright?"
Susanna cast her sharp eyes on Wright, who stood behind her and didn't speak for a long time.
"I told you yesterday, Dean..." Wright glanced at Susanna, swallowed the word 'Dean' rationally, and changed it to a more familiar title, "Suzanne, I think this What Professor Minerva McGonagall said should be true. Besides, I really want to go to this magic school..."
"Oh! Magic!" Susanna rolled her eyes in a very unladylike way.
Wright had no choice but to turn his attention to Professor McGonagall for help. Professor McGonagall also received Wright's signal for help and pulled out a wand from nowhere.
"What are you doing?" Susanna stood up suddenly and stood in front of Wright.
"I think this should be a tool used by their wizards or magicians to use magic." Wright whispered in Susanna's ear. Susanna quickly turned her head and glanced at Wright, and then turned her attention back to Professor McGonagall.
"Generally speaking, for Muggles like you who cannot be convinced with words, I usually use practical actions to prove the existence of magic." Professor McGonagall said, "It doesn't require any powerful magic. A simple levitation spell should That’s it.”
"Sorry, what?" Susanna felt that this weirdly dressed old witch had become extremely unreasonable, and she kept talking nonsense.
"Wingardium Leviosa." Professor McGonagall pointed at the desk with her wand and said calmly. Originally, a wizard like her didn't need a wand to use a simple magic like the Levitation Spell. But in order to show the style of a Hogwarts professor, she still used her own wand. Nine and one-half inches long, fir wood, dragon's nerve, a favorite type of wand among Masters of Transfiguration.
The desk gradually floated into the sky under the power of magic, but the documents on the desk remained motionless, and even the water in the water glass on the desk did not show any ripples.
Susanna opened and closed her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. All she knew now was that the boards of Sir Isaac Newton's coffin might not hold down. Susanna has worked in this office for more than ten years and knows everything in the office. She knows very well that there is no traction rope or anything like that placed near the desk. That is to say, this Maybe what the woman just performed was actually magic.
The desk was quickly and carefully placed back in place by Professor McGonagall, and the table legs made no sound when they came into contact with the ground.
"If you still don't believe it, I can give other demonstrations." Professor McGonagall smiled kindly at Susanna.
"Oh. Ah." After spitting out two meaningless modal particles, Susanna seemed to finally be able to speak normally. "If possible, is there anything else you can do?"
"Of course, one of my best magic skills."
Then Professor McGonagall turned into a cat.
"Ho ho..." Susanna gasped again, and now Einstein's coffin board could no longer hold it down. After the witch turned into a cat, the conservation of energy was immediately overturned.
"You...you are from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, right?" Susanna was helped by Wright and sat back on the chair. She calmed down and asked in a tone of inexplicable awe.
"Yes." Professor McGonagall nodded.
"Then when Wright goes to your school, will he also learn the magic just now?" Susanna asked, "Left into the air and turned into an animal?"
"The Levitation Spell will be taught by another professor in the first grade, and the Animagus is much more difficult than the Levitation Spell." Professor McGonagall replied somewhat euphemistically. She was not optimistic that current students could learn the Animagus. Nimagus.
"Wright, if you really want to go to this magic school called Hogwarts, I will be happy to support you." Susanna turned her head and held Wright's hand, looking at him deeply, "Since God has given You have to do your best with what God has given you.”
Wright nodded, but he did not believe in God, and he did not know whether wizards liked God. But when he glanced at Professor McGonagall's expression from the corner of his eye, Wright realized that at least the Head of Gryffindor didn't like what Susanna just said.
Regardless, Professor McGonagall persuaded Susanna in her own way so that Wright could go to Hogwarts. Immediately afterwards, Professor McGonagall did not care about Susanna on the side, and explained the general situation of Hogwarts to Wright.
"By the way, one more thing, the place where you bought your school supplies is in Diagon Alley, located in London." Professor McGonagall drank the last sip of tea in the cup, stood up and said, "The entrance to Diagon Alley is a It’s called the Leaky Cauldron, and it’s located on Charing Cross Road.”
"Sorry, can't you take Wright shopping with you?" Susanna asked Professor McGonagall.
"Unfortunately, I have other tasks." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Remember, don't miss the Hogwarts Express at King's Station Platform 9 and Three Quarters on September 1st."
After saying that, Professor McGonagall immediately apparated away, leaving only a crackling sound in place.
Teleport? One word flashed through Suzanne's mind.
