Chapter 5: Professor McGonagall Arrives Two Minutes Late
"Isn't that letter really a prank?"
Mrs. Granger held a letter in her hand, and looked at the letter that was just an ordinary paper, but it had a beating pattern, and there was still some disbelief on her face.
Mr. Granger sat on the sofa next to him, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of Mrs. Granger, so it could be said that he was full of husband and wife.
In fact, it was originally in the eyes of the Grangers.
Hogwarts ...... As soon as you hear the name, it's not a serious school.
Albus Dumbledore's name doesn't sound like a serious person!
This so-called invitation letter naturally can't be a serious letter, and most of it is just a prank on children.
But when something beyond their perception appears in their eyes, they can't help but doubt life.
Although the owl said that it was indeed greedy, but the ability to send letters was okay, and after eating and drinking, it quickly sent the letter back to Hogwarts, and brought back the reply, and then left, but when it left, it took away a grilled fish that Xiao Yiren had not finished grilling, which really made Xiao Yiren very unhappy.
When the reply arrived, Hermione happily took the reply to the Grangers, and it was like this.
As a Muggle family, the House would send a teacher to visit the home in two days' time, and it was clear that Hogwarts had long been accustomed to the mistrust of Muggle parents and had their own set of solutions.
After all, not any parent can be so big as to hand over their eleven-year-old child to a school of unknown origin.
Especially when the other party also advertises the magic school, a few words that seem to be full of magic sticks.
If this kind of thing is compared to the Celestial Empire in the previous life, it is equivalent to one day when you suddenly meet a god stick on the side of the road, claiming to be Xiao Yan, an outcast of the Supreme Palace, and you are surprised to see your son's bones, he is a rare genius in a hundred years, and he wants to take him to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace for further study......
This kind of person is likely to be directly slapped and flown out for 200 meters, and then directly serve on the anti-fraud APP, a day trip to the police station detention center, even if he directly fights without even knowing his mother, it can be regarded as mercy.
It's just that the teachers at Hogwarts are not very punctual, and they have made an appointment to arrive at nine o'clock, but by the time it is nine o'clock, the Granger couple have not seen any figure similar to the teacher.
"I guess it's a prank......
Looking at the time again, Mr. Granger's face was a little impatient.
As a dentist, Mr. Granger is very sensitive to time, and generally speaking, when an appointment arrives at 9 o'clock, he will basically arrive a minute or two early.
As a result, Mr. Granger's impression of the so-called Hogwarts was even worse.
Another two minutes passed, and just when Hermione was a little disappointed, three crisp knocks suddenly sounded from the living room.
"Dada~"
This sudden surprise directly made Hermione, who was originally a little discouraged, suddenly burst into excitement, and she was about to open the door with a pair of short legs.
But fortunately, Mrs. Granger reacted relatively quickly, and quickly grabbed Hermione's wrist to stop her reckless action.
Mr. Granger, on the other hand, got up directly from the couch and walked quickly to the door of the living room, spreading the door open.
But to Mr. Granger's surprise, when the door opened, he was greeted by the familiar street, and there was no one in sight.
And just when Mr. Granger was a little confused, Mrs. Granger and Hermione suddenly reminded him.
"A cat?"
"Cats?"
Mr. Granger looked down and saw a brown tabby sitting quietly in front of him, a pair of dark brown eyes looking at him faintly.
It is a slender cat with a medium-wide head, a triangular muzzle, and a pointed chin that aligns with its upper lip and nose.
Its ears are slightly upturned and covered with white fluff, its large eyes, and its long tail with alternating gray and black fur are the standard British tabby.
Xiao Yiren, who was far away on the sofa in the living room, recognized the breed of the cat.
Obviously it was just a cat, but for some reason, Mr. Granger was stared at by this cat from nowhere, his heart trembled a little, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to chase it away.
But before he could make a move, he saw the tabby cat take two steps back, and then its body began to change at a jaw-dropping speed.
In the blink of an eye, the tabby cat, who had been no more than forty centimeters long, turned into a middle-aged woman about one meter seven tall, wearing a wizard robe, a wizard hat, and a serious expression on her face.
It was none other than the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall's appearance directly suppressed everyone in the Granger family.
Mr. Granger, in particular, was the closest to Professor McGonagall, and he saw the changes most clearly.
He was pretty sure that there was absolutely no magician who could do something so incredible, completely contrary to science.
And since it can't be explained by talking about science, then everything is already clear, the other party is indeed the wizard mentioned in the envelope, and he is here to explain to Hermione about the opening of Hogwarts.
"Hello Mr. Granger, I'm sure you've received our letter from Hogwarts, I'm sorry for being two minutes late, something happened on Floo Fans Network today that caused me to be late, and I'm very sorry for that......"
Professor McGonagall gently took off her wizarding hat and bowed slightly to Mr. Granger in front of her, apologizing for being late.
"Well, okay, it's okay, please come in and sit."
I have to say that the scene just now still had a considerable impact on Mr. Granger's worldview, and when Professor McGonagall finished apologizing, Mr. Granger reacted, and quickly bowed, turned sideways directly, gave up his seat, and motioned for Professor McGonagall to come in.
Witnessing such a big change in Mr. Granger's behavior, Xiao Yiren, who had been lying on the sofa, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Your Professor McGonagall is your Professor McGonagall, and the methods are different, and the Granger couple will be stunned in three or two clicks.
As a professor at Gryffindor and vice-headmaster at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall has a great deal of responsibility, and almost all new students pass through her hands.
For the little wizards of Muggle families, naturally, they also have contact from time to time.
For these Muggle families, they naturally have a good understanding of the resistance of wizards, and Professor McGonagall naturally has his own set of methods.
No, it was just an Animagus transformation, and nothing else was needed, it just calmed the field and made the doubts in Mr. Granger's heart completely disappear.
