Chapter 13: The Leaky Cauldron Bar

Before he could finish speaking, the Granger family and Sivi saw that the skin on the talking tabby cat was constantly changing, and in two or three clicks, it became a tall female human. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Sivi looked at her again, dark green robes, dark green pointed wizard hat, curly black hair under the pointed dark green hat, with a pair of square glasses, the pattern on the frame was very similar to the black and gray tabby cat she had become before, with a very rigid expression on her face, looking like the homeroom teacher whom the students respected and feared when they were children.

The seemingly untouchable Professor McGonagall, based on the remakes of Harry Potter novels that Syvi has seen little, is actually a cold-hearted grandmother with a very energetic mind, and is very obsessed with the grand and widely circulated sporting game of Quidditch in the wizarding world.

And her name is very meaningful, Minerva comes from the god of wisdom in Roman mythology, and her status is the same as that of Athena in Greek mythology.

And more importantly, in Roman mythology, Minerva was also the patron saint of craftsmen and students, and her care and love for her students in all the events that happened afterwards can be contrasted, summed up as a vibrant, sports-loving, and caring grandmother for students.

Although there is a stereotyped and stern disguise on the surface, in fact, this is a very easy person to contact, and anyone who has been in contact with this cold-hearted old woman for a long time will spontaneously respect her from the heart. The premise of course is that you are a good student, and if you are a mischievous bad student, seeing Professor McGonagall is like a mouse that sees a predator, a cat, trembling under Professor McGonagall's momentum.

Professor McGonagall, who had a stereotypical look on her face, glanced at the little guy in front of her, but she didn't know that the little guy in front of her, who was a new Hogwarts freshman not long after, had so many things on his head.

"Hello, Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger, you can call me Professor McGonagall, I'm here to give you an introduction to the wizarding world, which happens every year." Professor McGonagall said slowly.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger looked at the cat-turned-human witch in front of them with their mouths wide open, and stammered, "Oh, hello, Professor McGonagall, may I ask what happened to you?" ”

"Oh, that's a Transfiguration, I'll give it to the kids in the next lesson." As soon as Professor McGonagall spoke of her passion for Transfiguration, the stereotypical expression on her face vanished.

And the reason why she changed from a cat to a human in front of the Grangers, instead of directly visiting the Granger family in human form, was because there were always some Muggle families who didn't believe in magic over the years, so she had to think of this way, how shocking the magic from a cat to a human was. In this way, these parents have to believe it, and it seems that the response this year is also very good. Professor McGonagall thought.

"And why are you here today?" Mrs. Granger saw that the mysterious witch was a talkative older woman, and she stepped forward to communicate.

"Mrs. Granger, please don't be so polite, I'm here today to take these two little ones to buy the textbooks mentioned in the letter I sent earlier."

"Oh, can we go then?" Mr. Granger asked nervously.

Professor McGonagall heard what Mr. Granger had said, which she had seen quite a few times before, and replied cheerfully, "Yes, but only with a wizard." ”

Mr. and Mrs. Granger reassured themselves when they heard this answer, and Mrs. Granger asked Professor McGonagall, "Shall we go now?" ”

"Yes, Mrs. Granger." Professor McGonagall was a time-keeper, and she had other Muggle families to explain later.

"So how do we get there, are we flying over with magic?" Mr. Granger asked expectantly, the man's adventurous flair made his blood boil a little after he was exposed to magical magic.

"No, no, of course we're going by car." Mrs. McGonagall said with a smirk.

"Then let's go now! I happen to have a car. You show me the way. Mr. Granger stood up, looking more agitated than Syvi and Little Hermione.

Professor McGonagall nodded, she put her hands around Sivi and little Hermione, and said softly, "Come here, children, sit with me, and we'll have a good chat about magic." ”

Syvi and little Hermione nodded their heads, and they approached Professor McGonagall excitedly.

Professor McGonagall, Syvi, and Hermione sat in the back seat of the car, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger sat in the front seat, and Professor McGonagall told Mr. Granger before getting into the car that he went to a place called the Great Book of Brett in London, which happened to be where Mr. Granger had been, and he was only a little puzzled that he hadn't seen any wizards in the few times he had been there.

As the car drove slowly, Professor McGonagall and the two little ones chatted about Hogwarts and magic, and the Grangers in the front seat did not turn their heads. But the ears are also tilted to this side.

"Professor McGonagall, what's the matter with that mysterious power in me and Syvi." Little Hermione asked, sitting to Professor McGonagall's right, blinking wide-eyed. Although Sivi knew what was going on, he nodded cooperatively, and showed a curious look.

Sivi didn't dare to talk much, although he had watched Harry Potter, he had only watched the movies, and only the first few films, and he had almost forgotten it by now, although he tried to remember, but he only remembered those big events, and many details were forgotten.

And this is a real world, not a few movies, or a few novels can be described in all of them, and Sivi is afraid that if he misses his mouth, something big will happen. So it's better for him to listen silently.

"You must first know that many people in this world have this mysterious ability, and even many heroes in myths and legends have this kind of power, but the nature is different, and here we wizards call this power magic." Professor McGonagall paused, looking at the two little ones with gentle eyes, giving them time to think about this informative passage.

"The magic in your body may be due to the fact that your ancestor was a wizard, and now this power has been passed on to you, giving you the privilege of opening the door to the wizarding world and taking on the responsibility of protecting humanity." Professor McGonagall said something that was very informative to Seavey.

Little Hermione nodded in understanding, and she continued to ask, "Professor McGonagall, what kind of school is Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry mentioned in the letter?" ”

Professor McGonagall looked at the smart and studious little Hermione, and then at the left, Seavey, although she didn't ask any questions, but she looked like she was thinking, and she admired with satisfaction that there were two more good seedlings in the wizarding world.

She clapped her hands and continued to answer little Hermione's question: "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is specially prepared for young wizards like you, and in your future school life, it will always teach you, teach you how to use magic, not let magic hurt yourself and those around you, and let you learn more magical and wonderful knowledge." ”

Now!!

At this moment, the car stopped, and Mr. Granger turned his head, "Professor McGonagall, the Ritting Bookstore has arrived." But I don't see a place like a place that sells magic supplies? ”

Mrs. Granger also had an approving look on her face.

Professor McGonagall had them all out of the car, then had the Granger family stand hand in hand, and she pointed in the direction of the Blotte Bookstore for them to look at it again.

When the Granger looked in that direction again, they saw a small, dilapidated bar halfway between the large bookstore and a record store.

"Leaky Cauldron Bar, this is amazing!" Mr. Granger exclaimed softly, and Mrs. Granger had a look of surprise on her face.

"Is it because of little Hermione that we can see it?" The thoughtful Mrs. Granger asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Granger." Professor McGonagall nodded, and she led the way to the Cauldron Bar.

"Hey! Mom and Dad, I thought you could see this bar! Little Hermione said in surprise.

"Professor McGonagall, is this bar a magic that makes it invisible to the average person?" Sylvie asked, walking next to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall touched Syvi's head and complimented, "What a clever little fellow." You're right, the name of this magic is Muggle Expulsion. Only those with magical powers can see this bar. ”

Professor McGonagall led them into the Leaky Cauldron Bar, where their figures slowly disappeared, but no one around them noticed the bar, they were still busy with their business.
