Chapter 3: Visits

Herb called his father, who was emotionally charged and said he would come to visit his grandson in the near future.

Daisy was still angry, and only after Albert's reassurance did she not quarrel with her husband, and the female lawyer could not understand why her husband, who had always been very smart, had suddenly become so stupid that he would be deceived by such a boring joke, and that he was going to joke about the future of his precious son.

Actually, everyone thinks it's funny, after all, magic is only a thing that exists in legends.

Nia even pestered Albert to make him magical.

"I won't. Albert spread his hands helplessly.

Actually, of course, Albert knew some spells, such as the simplest glowing charm.

But without the help of his wand, he probably wouldn't have used it, so Albert didn't try.

At least, he won't try it in front of anyone else, otherwise how can it be explained?

"Nia, there's no magic in this world at all, it's all a trick. Daisy said seriously, she didn't want her daughter to be full of strange thoughts.

"Albert, the letter says 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 and walked to Albert's side.

"I'm not going to think about it until I'm sure magic exists. Albert said in a serious manner.

Of course, these words are actually to appease her mother, Daisy. She now looks like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

An owl flew into the living room through the window and threw a piece of parchment on the table.

The parchment reads:

I'll be visiting Professor McGonagall by 3:20.

"3:20?" Albert took the parchment, looked at the clock and muttered, "One minute left." ”

"Very well, I will definitely debunk the tricks of those liars. ”

By 3:20 a.m., the doorbell outside rang.

The Andersons looked at each other, and finally Herb Anderson, the head of the family, opened the door, with Nia following 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?" asked Nia.

"That's what I'm here for!" Professor McGonagall was very good at dealing with this kind of thing, she had experienced many similar things, "Some Muggle families have similar questions. ”

"Muggles?" Anderson's expression froze, repeating what he had just heard.

The other party calls himself a Muggle?

"Muggles are ordinary people who don't know magic. As McGonagall entered the living room, her eyes fell on the only boy in the room.

"Hello Mr. Anderson. ”

"Hello, Miss McGonagall. Albert looked at the witch in front of him, and Professor McGonagall's appearance was indeed different from the movie, although his memory of this was very vague.

"We want you to prove it...... The presence of magic. Daisy served Professor McGonagall a cup of unsweetened tea.

"Of course, please see!" McGonagall drew her wand and tapped it on the teacup, which turned into a small mouse.

This was the first time Albert had seen magic, and he grabbed the little gray mouse curiously: "It's amazing." ”

"This is magic? I would never let Albert waste his time learning such a boring trick, do I expect him to become 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 diploma of the magic school should be no different from waste paper in the world of ordinary people. The premise is that if you actually will issue a diploma. ”

"You don't have to worry about every qualified graduate of Hogwarts finding a decent job in the wizarding world. Professor McGonagall explained.

Daisy knew she couldn't deny the existence of magic after seeing it, but she still planned to make a last ditch effort: "Albert, I think Eton College is the better choice, and that's the place you worked hard to get it." If you want to go into finance, it's best not to go to Hogwarts, where you won't be able to use your talents. ”

Herb looked at his wife and sighed helplessly, he knew that Daisy didn't want Albert to go to Hogwarts.

"Son, you can choose for yourself, we respect your choice. ”

"IMHO. McGonagall cleared her 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 not-so-good things. ”

"Well, it looks like I don't have a choice!" Albert couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, in fact, he had already made his choice.

"But, Albert ......," Daisy wanted to say something. 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 to Hogwarts can go there to study. McGonagall politely declined.

"Nia, you're not eleven yet. Albert touched his sister's head, looked at Professor McGonagall and asked, "Where do I go to buy something? And what is the ticket? Where should I go to take the train?"

Is this an agreement?

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief and told Albert the approximate route to the Leaky Cauldron, "You can see it, even though the Muggles around you can't see it...... Muggles refer to ordinary people who do not understand magic. By the way, the barkeeper's name is Tom, and as for how to get to Diagon Alley, you can ask Tom and he will be happy to show you the way. ”

"As for platform 9 and 3/4, it is located in the partition wall between platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross Station. ”

"It's ridiculous to take the train to the wizarding school, are all your magic carpets broken?" Daisy sarcastically sneered.

"Daisy. Herb coughed lightly and handed the transcript to Professor McGonagall to avoid missing any crucial information.

"See you at Hogwarts, then, on September 1st, Mr. Anderson. Professor McGonagall prepared to leave.

"Professor, can you get it back to its original state?" Albert gestured to the rat that the teacup had turned into.

"Oh, of course!" Professor McGonagall waved his wand, and the rat returned to the teacup.

After Albert sent the other party out, Professor McGonagall vanished.

"She's gone?" Herb looked in disbelief at where Professor McGonagall had just stood.

"Dad, shall we go to London tomorrow?" asked Albert.

"Oh, oh, I'm going to London tomorrow to buy something. Herb said dumbfoundedly.

"I'm going too. Nia grabbed her father's hand and said coquettishly.

"Wait for next time. Albert shook his head and said, "I'll go and familiarize myself with the place first, and then I'll take you with my mother next time and come back to buy you a gift." ”

"Nasty, Albert is so nasty. Nia left in a huff.

Albert reluctantly spread his hands towards Herb, turned and entered the living room, where there were still a large and a small one in need of comfort.
