3 Chapter 3: A Visitor

Herbert called his father, and the old man became emotional after hearing this and said that he would come to visit his grandson in the near future.

Daisy was still angry. With Albert's comfort, she didn't quarrel with her husband. This female lawyer could not understand why her husband, who had always been smart, suddenly became so stupid. He was deceived by the silly pranks and jokes around about the future prospects of his baby son.

In fact, everyone finds it very interesting. After all, magic only exists in legends.

Nia even pestered Albert to show her magic.

"I can't." Albert shrugs his shoulder helplessly.

In fact, Albert certainly knows some charms, such as the simplest wand-lighting charm (Lumos).

But without the help of the magic wand, it is estimated that it would not work, so Albert did not try.

At least, he will not try it in front of other people, otherwise, how can he explain it?

"Nia, there is no magic in this world at all. Those are all deceitful tricks." Daisy said seriously, she didn't want her daughter to be full of weird thoughts.

"Albert, the letter says that you can take a pet to school. Are you going to take Tom to school with you?" Niya didn't care about her mother's words and picked up the cat next to Albert.

"I won't consider this issue before confirming the existence of magic." Albert said solemnly.

Of course, this is actually to appease his mother Daisy. She now looks like a time bomb, which may explode at any time.

An owl flew into the living room from the window and threw a piece of parchment on the table.

The parchment read:

"I will pay a visit before 3:20

Professor McGonagall."

"3:20?" Albert took the parchment, looked at the clock and murmured, "It's still a minute away."

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

At 3:20, the doorbell outside rang.

The Anderson family looked at each other and finally Herbert Anderson, the head of the family, went to open the door, and Nia followed.

Opening the door, Herb found an elderly woman standing outside her house.

"Professor McGonagall?" Herbert looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously, and said dryly: "Oh, well, come in, Albert is in the living room, can you prove the existence of magic?"

"You can do magic?" Nia asked.

"I'm here to do this" Professor McGonagall is very good at dealing with this kind of thing. She has experienced many similar things. "Some Muggle families will have similar questions."

"What? Muggle?" Herbert's expression froze, and he repeated what he had just heard.

The other party calls himself a Muggle?

"Muggles are ordinary people who don't know how to do magic." After McGonagall entered the living room, her eyes fell on the only boy in the room.

"Hello Mr. Anderson."

"Hello, Mrs. McGonagall." Albert looked at the witch in front of him. Professor McGonagall's appearance seemed different from the movie. To be honest, after more than ten years, his memory in this area has been blurred.

"We hope you can prove... the existence of magic." Daisy served Professor McGonagall a cup of unsweetened black tea.

"Of course, please look!" McGonagall drew out her wand and tapped it on the teacup. The teacup actually turned into a little mouse.

This was the first time Albert saw magic. He curiously grabbed the little gray mouse: "It's amazing."

"This is magic? I will never let Albert waste time learning such boring tricks. Do you expect him to become a magician in the future?" Daisy took out the aura of a lawyer and pointed out sharply, "I'll be honest. I am worried about Albert's future. The graduation certificate of the magic school should be no different from waste paper in the world of ordinary 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 magical world. You don't have to worry about that." Professor McGonagall explained.

After learning about magic, Daisy knew that she could not deny the existence of magic, but she still planned to make the last fight: "Albert, I think Eton College is a better choice. It is your own effort to get accepted there. If you want to go to finance, it's best not to go to Hogwarts. You won't be able to show your talents there."

Herbert looked at his wife and sighed helplessly. He knew Daisy didn't want Albert to go to Hogwarts.

"Son, make your own choice. We respect your choice."

"I'll be honest." McGonagall cleared his throat and explained: "Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use magic. Moreover, once the magic is out of control, it will cause some undesirable things."

"Well, it seems I have no choice!" Albert raised his eyebrows involuntarily, in fact, he had already made a choice.

"But, Albert..." Daisy wanted to say something more. However, it was interrupted by Nia.

"Madam, can I go to Hogwarts, too?"

"Only children who are eleven and receive an invitation from Hogwarts can go there to study." McGonagall declined gently.

"Nia, you are not eleven years old." Albert touched his sister's head, looked at Professor McGonagall, and asked: "Where should I go to buy things? Where is the train I should go and what about the ticket?"

Did he agree?

Professor McGonagall could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and tells Albert the approximate route to the Broken Cauldron Bar, "You must be able to see it, even though it is invisible to the Muggles around you. Muggles refer to ordinary people who can't use magic. By the way, the bar boss is called Tom. As for how to get to Diagon Alley, you can ask Tom and he will be happy to help you lead the way."

"As for the platform Nine and Three-Quarters, it is located in the wall between the 9th and 10th platforms of King's Cross Station. Just go through it."

"It's ridiculous to take the train to the wizarding school. Are all your magic carpets broken?" Daisy sarcastically said.

"Daisy." Herbert coughed lightly and handed the record to Professor McGonagall to avoid missing any key information.

"Then, we will see you at Hogwarts on September 1, 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 had turned into.

"Oh, of course!" Professor McGonagall waved her magic wand, and the mouse returned to the teacup.

After Albert sent the other party out, Professor McGonagall immediately apparate and disappeared.

"She disappeared?" Herbert looked at the place where Professor McGonagall was just standing.

"Dad, shall we go to London tomorrow?" Albert asked.

"Oh, we will go shopping in London tomorrow." Herbert said blankly.

"I want to go too." Niya said coquettishly, clutching her father's hand.

"Wait for next time." Albert shook his head, "I'll go get acquainted with the place first, and next time I will take you with mother and back to with gifts for you."

"I hate you, Albert really hates you." Niya left in a huff.

Albert shrugs his shoulder, turned, and went outside with Herbert.
