Sally had a great time today, when she had a snack at noon, she got the cake with the most cream, and she also received many gifts from her friends, among which Lucy gave her favorite, which was a hand-woven plush toy, a cute pink rabbit.

In the office, several teachers and the dean sat together, studying a letter in their hands. Next to it was an open envelope, made of heavy parchment, with no stamps affixed and an address written in emerald green ink.

Morrickault Star Orphanage, 77 Czech Road, Sally Potter

"You say, is this credible?" said a younger teacher, picking up a vacant envelope and playing with it. At the back of the envelope, there is a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a capital "H".

"It must be a lie, school of magic, huh, when we are children?" said an older teacher dismissively.

"Whether it's a lie or not, the owl, it's still waiting there. Another teacher with glasses looked at the owl standing in the window and said cautiously.

"It's better to get rid of it. With that, the older teacher got up and prepared to drive the owl away.

"Wait a minute, Dean. Teacher Lucy spoke. "I think it's better to think about it. ”

The dean, a woman of about forty years of age and mild-looking, finally spoke after listening to Miss Lucy's words. "Teacher Lucy, you are the direct teacher in Sally's class, what do you think?"

"It may seem incredible, but don't forget that there are a lot of incredible things about Sally, so I think it's true. As she spoke, the office fell silent again, and every teacher in the orphanage knew about the strange things that had happened to Sally.

"So I think it's up to Sally to decide. Miss Lucy plucked up the courage to speak her mind.

The older teacher couldn't help but snort, "She's just an eleven-year-old child, what can she think." ”

"I think so. But the dean spoke. Her words were tantamount to putting the matter to a conclusion. "Miss Lucy, please bring Sally up, and I'll talk to her. ”

By the time Ms. Lucy brought Sally to the Dean's office, the other teachers had already left, leaving the Dean alone at his desk. Teacher Lucy took Sally behind, nodded to the dean, and turned to leave.

"Sally baby. The dean whispered. "Did you have a good day?"

"Well, Miss Lucy baked us a big, big cake, and I ate a big piece of it, and the teacher gave me a big fluffy bunny. Sally said happily.

"One thing, I think Sally is already a big kid and can make her own decisions, right?" asked the dean.

"What's the matter?" said Sally, confused. The dean handed the letter to Sally, who saw that the envelope was clearly written on Sally, and happily asked, "Did my parents write it for me? Are they coming to take me home?"

"You're done first, baby. The dean said softly.

Sally unfolded the letter, which was not long, so she read it quickly.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore. (President of the International Confederation of Magic, President of the Wizards' Guild, Sir Merlin, and Wizards)

Dear Ms. Porter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of the required books and equipment.

Semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will wait for your owl to hear back from you by July 31.

Vice-Principal (Female)

Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall

Sally then took out another piece of paper and wrote down the needed things, such as uniforms, textbooks, and so on. She just skimmed through it and found that she didn't understand it very well.

"I believe it's true. "Even though it may seem incredible, there are many incredible things about you. ”

"Do you mean, those strange places in me?" asked Sally.

"No, kid, I don't think that's a strange place, or maybe in a magic school, these skills of yours are normal. I'm talking incredible, yes ... The dean paused before he said again. "Well, I never told anyone because I was afraid they would think I was crazy. But I remember very well how you got here. ”

The dean was lost in thought. "It was eleven years ago, and I was sitting here correcting documents, and a man, a shabby, dusty man, appeared out of thin air, not through a window, not through a wall, not through a door, in fact I was locked at that time. He just stood in front of me out of thin air, holding you in his arms, weak, newborn you. He looked extremely nervous, spoke intermittently, and from time to time burst out words that I couldn't understand. In the end, I finally understood what he meant, he asked me to take you in, and I told him that taking in the baby was a procedure, and he had to go to the police station to issue a certificate. But he said he didn't have that much time, and he walked up to me, and I was terrified. But he stabilized a little, he kissed your little cheek, you slept sweetly, he stuffed you into my arms, and told me, your name is Sally Potter, let me take good care of you, or he won't let me go. Then she threw me two gold coins, strange ones that I had never seen before, and then disappeared again. Even after eleven years, the dean still remembers the scene vividly. "I didn't tell anyone about this amazing experience, because I knew that there must be very few people who believed in it, and I said to the teachers and the children, you were left at the door that night. Something like this often happens, and just like that, you've lived here for eleven years. ”

"The reason I'm telling you this today is because I've found out that you may finally be back to your normal life. Yes, Sally, I believe that you belong to the world of the man who magically appeared that night, and I believe that there must be many incredible places beyond the world as we know it. So, I respect your opinion. The dean handed Sally a piece of paper and a pen. "If you want to go, just follow what they say, and if you're scared and don't want to go, I can understand that, but you also have to write down the reasons why you don't want to go and tell them and say thank you. ”

Sally looked at the envelope in her hand, her little mind was filled with a lot of information, and each message seemed to be a voice speaking, buzzing loudly.

"Dean, may I ask you two questions?" said Sally, who hesitated for a long time.

"Of course, baby. The dean replied, smiling kindly.

"My parents, are they also from that world?"

"I can't tell you absolutely, because I don't know, but if your parents sent you here, or if the person who sent you here is your father, then they are probably from that world. ”

"That... Can I go back to school there? You know, I've always wanted to be a teacher here. ”

"Absolutely. The dean smiled, "The star always welcomes every child of it." ”

Sally was relieved. "That... I want to go there and check it out. She picked up the pen and scribbled it on the paper, neatly and neatly.

Dear Headmaster McGonagall,

It is an honour to receive your invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hopefully we can meet on September 1st.

Love you

Sally Potter
