013 Visit by professor
After some discussion and persuasion, at noon, the owl, which was treated well by Mrs. Granger with raw meat and milk, took off from Granger's house with a letter, and then flew hard to flap its wings towards the north.
By the evening, the owl appeared again on the windowsill where he had been in the morning and pecked the glass on the window with his mouth. After Mrs. Granger opened the window, the owl handed her a tight roll of parchment with her claws and flew away with her wings.
"Dear, what happened just now?" asked Mr. Granger as he walked into the living room holding a roll of unfolded parchment in his hand. "I seemed to hear something knocking on the window."
"Because the owl at noon today brought us a reply." Mrs. Granger said in curious eyes of the three people in the living room. "This magic school called Hogwarts said it would send people to explain all this to us the day after tomorrow."
"That's great!" Hugo and Hermione, who were playing chess on the side before, jumped up excitedly. Hugo was excited because he could enter Hogwarts to change the plots to accumulate destiny points, and then summon all his ship girls before.
Hermione was excited because for children of her age, she could go to top public schools and top universities in the future step by step after the holiday, and live a life that is not much different from her parents. This way she could see the situation decades later at a glance, and studying magic in magic schools is more attractive to her.
It is easy to understand why the school sends people. After all, there are young wizards from Muggles who come from studying at Hogwarts Magic School every year, so Hugo thinks that this kind of home visit is likely to be the standard process of Hogwarts.
After all, Hogwarts also knows that as a magic school hidden in the magic world, if ordinary parents who know nothing about the magic world allow their children to go to such a school to learn magic, the school must do something to make parents realize that magic is real, not a joke.
Therefore, on the morning of the third day, after breakfast, the Granger family each wore formal clothes and waited in the living room. At 9:50 a.m., the door was knocked.
"It seems that the other party is quite on time." After hearing the knock on the door, Mr. Granger immediately put down the newspaper and stood up, then walked towards the gate to prepare to open the door for the knocker. As a doctor, he was born with a favorable impression of such a person who could keep up with time.
"Madam, who are you?" After opening the door, Mr. Granger saw an elderly woman in an old-fashioned black robe standing at the door.
"Hello, I am Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts. Are you Mr. Granger?" Professor McGonagall said politely as he looked at Mr. Granger who opened the door.
"Yes, we received the owl's letter before." Mr. Granger nodded and opened the door and made a gesture of invitation. "Please come in, Professor McGonagall, it's not very appropriate to stand at the door and speak."
When the two of them came to the living room, they found that Hugo and the others had prepared tea and snacks. After sitting on the sofa, Professor McGonagall looked at the two adults and said, "I came here today to communicate with you about your children's future studies."
"So, Hogwarts Magic School really exists, right?" After looking at each other, Mr. Granger asked Professor McGonagall, who was sitting opposite the coffee table. "But magic—"
"Magic exists, but because the entire magic world is hidden, you Muggles didn't know about our existence before." Professor McGonagall explained patiently that as a professor who has worked in the school for many years, Mr. Granger has seen more than once or twice, so he is very familiar with it.
After saying these words, Professor McGonagall pulled out his wand and pointed a teacup on the table. The teacup immediately turned into a beautiful bird. The bird flew around the living room and sang around and then fell back to the coffee table, and then turned into the teacup full of black tea again.
"Magic is indeed magical." Mrs. Granger, who saw this scene just now, said, "I also know that since my child has this talent for magic, it is acceptable to receive professional training. But I am willing to take the liberty. Can you tell us what children can do after graduating from school?"
"Ms., please forgive us as parents for their concerns about the future of their children." Mr. Granger said at this time. "My two children have now obtained admission permits to the top public schools in the UK. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have a bright future. So I hope you can give me a reason to let my children give up all this."
"No one can guarantee what the future will look like." Professor McGonagall said with a serious look after pursing his lips, "But I can tell you that everything I did just now is just the simplest application of magic. There are many things that magic can do-"
After briefly introducing the content about the power of magic, Professor McGonagall changed his mind and talked about the content about the future of their children that the Grangers are most concerned about: "—The wizards in this world have their own society like you Muggles who don't understand magic, and do not hide in the jungle alone like you fairy tales. So after graduating from us, it's not impossible to find a good job."
Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall showed a proud look. "And Hogwarts, who invited you children, is an ancient school with a history of nearly a thousand years, and is also one of the three best magic schools in Europe. Every student who successfully graduated from Hogwarts can find a decent job in the magic world."
"In other words, there are not only three magic schools in Europe. I remember that it seems that there is one in Russia." After hearing this sentence, Hugo diverged his mind, "But it is normal to think about it. The three schools that appeared in the original work should not theoretically cover the entire Europe. Besides, the magic world pays attention to a long history. It is not surprising that countries such as Greece, which have their own unique culture and sufficient history, have their own magic schools."
Just as Hugo was thinking about the magic school, Professor McGonagh was describing to the Grangers what kind of life the students who graduated from Hogwarts would have. However, the kind of work described by the professor was easy, with winter and summer vacations, and even a lot of time and money to conduct magic research, no matter how you listen, it is like a portrayal of Professor McGonagh's own life.
