NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: visit
Chapter 3 Visit
Herb called his father. The old man was emotional after hearing this, and said that he would come to visit his grandson in the near future.
Daisy was still angry, and 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 and would be harassed by such a He was deceived by silly jokes, and even planned to make fun of his precious son's future prospects.
Actually, everyone finds it very interesting. After all, magic only exists in legends.
Nia even pestered Albert to ask him to perform magic on herself.
"I won't." Albert spread his hands helplessly.
Actually, Albert certainly knew some spells, such as the simplest luminous spell.
But without the help of the magic wand, it probably wouldn't work, so Albert didn't try.
At least, he doesn't try it in front of other people, how else to explain it?
"Nia, there is no magic in this world at all, they are all deceiving tricks." Daisy said seriously, she didn't want her daughter to be full of those weird thoughts.
"Albert, the letter said that you can take 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 shorthair cat to Albert's side.
"I will not consider this issue until I am sure that magic exists." Albert said solemnly.
Of course, these words are actually to appease mother Daisy. She looks like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment.
An owl flies into the living room through the window and drops a piece of parchment on the table.
The parchment reads:
I'll be calling on —Professor McGonagall at 3:20.
"3:20?" Albert took the parchment, looked at the clock and muttered, "It's still a minute away."
"Very well, I will definitely expose the tricks of those liars."
At 3:20, the outside doorbell rang.
The Anderson family looked at each other, and finally Herb Anderson, the head of the family, went to open the door, and Nia followed behind.
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, well, please come in, Albert is in the hall, if you can prove the existence of magic."
"Do you know magic?" Nia asked.
"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 from Muggles will have similar questions."
"What's hemp? Muggle?" Anderson's expression froze, and he repeated what he had just heard.
The other party called himself a Muggle?
"Muggles refer to ordinary people who don't know magic." After McGonagall entered the living room, her eyes fell on the only boy in the room.
"Hi 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, look!" Mag pulled out his wand, tapped lightly on the teacup, and the teacup actually turned into a little mouse.
This was the first time Albert saw magic. He curiously grabbed the little gray mouse: "It's amazing."
"This is magic? I will never let Albert waste time learning such a boring trick. Can I expect him to be a magician in the future?" Daisy pointed out sharply with the air of a lawyer: "With all due respect , I am worried about Albert's future. The graduation certificate of a magic school should be no different from waste paper in the world of ordinary people. The premise is that if you really issue a graduation certificate."
"Every qualified Hogwarts graduate can find a decent job in the wizarding world. You don't have to worry about that," Professor McGonagall explained.
After Daisy experienced magic, she knew that she could not deny the existence of magic, but she still planned to make a last-ditch effort: "Albert, I think Eton College is a better choice, it is you who worked hard to get it. If you want to develop into finance, it is best not to go to Hogwarts, where you will definitely not be able to display your talent."
Herb 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 yourself, we respect your choice."
"With all due respect." Mag cleared his throat and explained: "Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use magic. Moreover, once the magic gets out of control, it will cause some bad things."
"Well, it seems that I have no choice!" Albert raised his eyebrows involuntarily, but he had already made a choice.
"But, Albert..." Daisy wanted to say something else. However, she was interrupted by Nia.
"Ma'am, can I go to Hogwarts too?"
"Only children who are eleven years old and have received an invitation letter from Hogwarts can study there." McGonagall politely refused.
"Nia, you are not eleven years old." Albert touched his sister's head, looked at Professor McGonagall and asked, "Where should I go shopping? And that ticket? Where should I go to sit?" train?"
Is this an agreement?
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and told Albert the approximate route to the Leaky Cauldron, "You can definitely see it, even though the Muggles around you can't see it... Muggles refer to 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, 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 of King's Cross Station, and you can just pass through it."
"It's ridiculous to take the train to the wizarding school. Are all your magic carpets broken?" Daisy sarcastically sarcastically.
"Daisy." Herb coughed lightly, and handed the record 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 shape?" Albert pointed to the mouse that the teacup turned into.
"Oh, of course!" Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and the mouse sat down on the teacup again.
After Albert sent the other party out, Professor McGonagall immediately apparated and disappeared.
"She disappeared?" Herb looked at the place where Professor McGonagall had just stood in disbelief.
"Dad, are we going to London tomorrow?" Albert asked.
"Oh, oh, go shopping in London tomorrow." Herb said blankly.
"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 familiarize myself with the place first, and next time I'll take you there with mom, and come back to buy you gifts."
"Hate, Albert is so annoying." Nia left angrily.
Albert helplessly spread his hands towards Herb, turned around and entered the living room. There was still a big and a small family who needed to be appeased.
