Chapter 3

Visit

Herb

called his father. The

old man was emotional after hearing it, and said that he would come to visit

his grandson in the near future.

Daisy

was still angry, but she didn't quarrel with her husband after Albert comfort

her that he woudn’t be deceived by silly jokes and so she only said for him to

think about the future of his precious son.

In

fact, everyone thinks that it is very interesting, after all, such things as

magic only exist in legends.

Nia even pestered Albert to enchant

herself.

"I won't." Albert spread

his hands helplessly.

Actually, Albert certainly knew some

spells, such as the simplest glow spell.

But without the help of the wand, it

probably wouldn't work, so Albert didn't try.

At

least, he won't try it in front of other people, otherwise how will he explain

it?

"Nia,

there is no such thing as magic in this world at all, it's all a trick."

Daisy said seriously, she didn't want her daughter to be full of those weird

thoughts.

"Albert, the letter says that

you can bring 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 went to Albert's side.

"I won't consider this until I'm

sure magic exists," Albert said solemnly.

Of

course, this is actually to appease his 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 by 3:20 - Professor

McGonagall.

"3:20?" Albert took the parchment,

glanced at the clock and murmured, "It's still a minute away."

"Very

well, I will definitely reveal the tricks of those liars."

By 3:20, the doorbell outside rang.

The Anderson family looked at each

other, and finally Herb Anderson, the head of the family, went to open the

door, while Nia followed.

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, okay, please come in, Albert is in the hall, if you can prove the

existence of magic."

"You know magic?" Nia

probed and asked.

"I'm

here for this!" Professor McGonagall is very good at dealing with this

kind of situation. She has experienced similar things many times. "Some muggles

families will always have similar questions."

"Mummy

what is a muggle?" Anderson's expression froze, and he repeated what he

had just heard.

She

called ours Muggles?

"Muggles

are ordinary people who can't use magic." After McGonagall entered the

living room, her eyes fell on the only boy in the room.

"Hello Mr. Anderson."

"Hello, Ms. McGonagall."

Albert looked at the witch in front of him. Professor McGonagall's appearance

seemed to be different from the movie. To be honest, after more than ten

years, his memory in this regard has been blurred.

"We

hope you can prove...the existence of Magic." Daisy served Professor

McGonagall a cup of unsweetened black tea.

"Of

course, look!" McGonagall took out her wand and tapped it on the teacup,

and the teacup actually turned into a little mouse.

This

was the first time Albert saw Magic, and he grabbed the little gray mouse

curiously: "It's amazing."

"This

is Magic? I will never let Albert waste time learning such boring tricks. Can't

I expect him to be a Wizard in the future?" Daisy took out the aura of a

lawyer and pointed out sharply: "I am blunt. , I am worried about Albert's

future. The graduation certificate of the Wizard school shouldn’t be different

from waste paper in the world of common people. The premise is that if you

really will issue a graduation certificate.

"

"Every

qualified graduate of Hogwarts can find a decent job in the wizarding world,

you don't have to worry about this." Professor McGonagall explained.

After

seeing Magic, Daisy knew that she couldn’t deny the existence of Magic, but she

still planned to fight for the last line: "Albert, I think Eton College is

a better choice, that was only achieved by your own efforts. If you want to

develop into finances, it is best not to go to Hogwarts, where your talents won’t

be displayed."

Herb

looked at his wife and sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that Daisy

didn't want Albert to go to Hogwarts.

"Son,

choose for yourself, we will respect your choice."

"With

all due respect." McGonagall cleared her throat and explained,

"Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use Magic. And,

once magic gets out of control, it can cause some accidents."

"Well,

it seems that I have no choice!" Albert couldn't help but raise his

eyebrows, in fact, he had already made a choice.

"But,

Albert..." Daisy still wanted to say something. However, it was

interrupted by Nia.

"Ma'am,

can I go to Hogwarts too?"

"Only

eleven-year-olds who have received an invitation to Hogwarts can study

there." McGonagall declined politely.

"Nia,

you aren’t eleven yet." Albert touched his sister's head, looked at

Professor McGonagall and asked, "Where should I go to buy things? And that

ticket? Where should I use it? 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 definitely see it, but it won’t be visible to

the muggles around you... Muggles mean Ordinary people who can't use magic. By

the way, the bar owner's name is Tom, as for how to get to Diagon Alley, you

can ask Tom, and he will be happy to guide you."

"As

for platforms 9 3/4, it's in the wall between platforms 9 and 10 at King's

Cross, just go through it."

"It's

ridiculous to take the train to the wizarding school. Are your magic carpets

all broken?" Daisy said sharply.

"Daisy."

Herb coughed lightly and handed the record to Professor McGonagall to avoid

missing any key information.

"Then

we'll see you at Hogwarts on September 1st, Mr. Anderson." Professor

McGonagall was about to leave.

"Professor,

can you restore it to its original state?" Albert pointed to the mouse

that the teacup turned into.

"Oh,

of course!" Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the mouse turned back

into teacup.

After

Albert sent the other party out, Professor McGonagall directly Apparated and

disappeared.

"She

disappeared?" Herb looked in disbelief at where Professor McGonagall had

just stood.

"Dad,

are we going to London tomorrow?" Albert asked.

"Oh,

yes, we are shopping in London tomorrow," said Herb dully.

"I'm

going too." Nia said coquettishly, holding her father's hand.

"Wait

next time." Albert shook his head and said, "I'll go to get

acquainted with the place first, and next time I'll take you with mother this

time I’ll bring you a present."

"I

hate you, really hate you." Nia left angrily.

Albert

reluctantly spread his hands towards Herb, turned and entered the living room.
