Chapter 67 Explanation
Since he ran specifically for his grandson, maybe this person is not a psychopath, but his personality is not very reliable?
Suspicious, Mr. and Mrs. Sovor invited her into the house to see what she wanted to say.
However, they soon become shocked, as Professor McGonagall demonstrates magic in front of them and transforms into a tabby cat. The miraculous power convinced them on the spot and convinced them of the existence of magic.
"Are you saying that Ios also has the same power as you?" John Sovall Sr. looked a little excited, and he seemed to be curious about the discovery of a new world.
Professor McGonagall nodded, "That's right, Mr. Sover has that credential. β
"Thatβ" Old John was about to say something, but was interrupted by his wife, Jane Sowal, "We should call Ios down before we talk about these things." β
"That's right, our protagonist - Ios! We should share the news with him. So old John walked to the stairs with his cane, raised his head slightly, and shouted to the second floor: "Ios, come down quickly!" There is good news! β
"Here we are." In response, Ios tidied up his clothes a little and went downstairs.
"This isβ" Old John saw Ios coming down and wanted to introduce him to Professor McGonagall, but found that he didn't know what to call her.
"Just call me Professor McGonagall." At Ios, Professor McGonagall took a moment's notice, and with a satisfied expression, she introduced herself.
"Hello, Professor McGonagall." Ios also said hello politely.
"Hello, Mr. Sovor." She also responded.
"The purpose of my trip is to explain to a Muggle-born, ordinary student like you, about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and you must have received an offer of admission to the school."
"Yes."
"So let me tell you a little bit about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry teaches students how to use magic, and you should also find yourself possessing something extraordinary about what is beyond the ordinary, and that is proof of the ability to use magic. β
Professor McGonagall then explained some common knowledge to Ios with a serious face, and at the end of the lecture she asked him very seriously: "So, after hearing this, Mr. Sowal, would you like to study at Hogwarts?" β
Without hesitation, Ios replied calmly, "Yes, I do." β
Professor McGonagall's expression, which had been keeping a straight face, loosened a little, and became softer: "So, please remember to take the Hogwarts Express from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King's Cross Station on September 1st at 11 a.m. sharp. β
"Excuse me, where do I go to buy those items on the appendix?" Although he knew, Ios still asked this sentence, so that it was common sense.
"I was about to mention this, you have to go to the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross in the City of London, and go through there into Diagon Alley." Then she explained how to enter Diagon Alley.
"Thank you, Professor."
"No, it's my responsibility. Okay, I have other things to do, so I'm leaving. With that, she apparitioned and left.
This peculiar way of leaving made old Sover excited again, and he went to Ios and talked about a lot of what he didn't have, and although he was very impatient, he still listened to old John's nagging very calmly.
For him, Mr. and Mrs. Sovour were his benefactors, helping him through his most fragile childhood. Although even then he was not without strength, he still had to eat, sleep, and get sick.
If something happens, maybe a small accident will take his life.
Of course, he was in a children's welfare home at the time, and it was difficult to say that he would encounter such a life-threatening situation, but these did not deny the kindness and help of the old couple.
Although he received an offer of admission to Hogwarts, he still had some time to leave school, and in the meantime Ios had to prepare all the things mentioned in the appendix.
Although Ios insisted that he should be alone, Old John did not listen to him at all, and must accompany him to buy these items, Ios felt that he simply wanted to see the wizard's world.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to his grandmother, Jane, but saw her smile gently and ruthlessly refused: "Ios, you are still too young, it would be safer to have an adult by your side." β
I'm a lot better than him, okay? If you're in danger, you still need me to protect him, right? Looking at Old John's slightly hunched back and the cane in his hand, Ios complained silently.
But he didn't say anything more, it seemed that they wouldn't let themselves go alone, without their consent, where would they get the money to shop?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Getting off the train, Ios and Old John walked together outside the platform, caught a taxi, and headed for Charing Cross in London.
When they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, a group of strange guests glanced at them, and soon turned back uninterestedly, seeing that the new Hogwarts students were coming to buy something.
Ios opened the way to Diagon Alley according to Professor McGonagall's method, and John Sr. watched this magical scene and followed Ios inside.
All sorts of strange and novel shops unfolded before their eyes, and old John seemed to want to go inside every shop, but Ios pulled him straight to a building.
It was a white tall building, and by the gleaming bronze gate, a short figure in a red gold-trimmed uniform stood - a goblin.
As Ios and Old John passed him, the elf bowed to them. Continuing inside, another door appeared, and several long lines of text were engraved on it, and Ios was not interested in looking at it, so he went straight inside.
Old John, who wanted to see what was written on the door, hurriedly followed him to a marble hall, where hundreds of goblins sat behind a long counter.
Walking up to a goblin, Ios explained his intentions: "Hello, I need to exchange some currency. As he spoke, he gestured to Old John, who hurriedly handed the goblin a stack of pounds.
The goblin counted carefully, and after a moment's thought, replied, "These pounds can be exchanged for 260 Galleons." β
Old John: "Okay, that's it, please help me change... Well, 260 Galleons. β
Now that you've changed your currency, it's time to shop.
