Chapter 125 The Passerby Who Didn't Wait for the Owl in Harry Potter 2
While the owl was eating, Jiang Yue's mother also reacted. She picked up the letter, looked at it and said, "Dear, whose owl is this? Is it your classmate? Don't we use carrier pigeons to deliver letters? Why use an owl?"
Jiang Yue's mother took a look at the letter and handed it to Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue took the letter and looked at the detailed address and the words "Ms. Jiang Yue" written on it. She turned over the envelope and saw a crimson wax seal and a shield emblem on the back. The capital letter "H" was surrounded by four animals: a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake.
Jiang Yue opened the letter and read:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(President of the International Federation of Wizards, First Class of the Order of Merlin, Archmage, and Chief Magician of the Wizengamot)
Dear Ms. Jiang Yue:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Attached is a list of required secretaries and equipment.
The semester is scheduled to begin on September 1st. We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July 31st.
Vice Principal (Female)
Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall
Looking at the second page again, it said what the first-year wizards needed to buy. Jiang Yue already knew about this, so she wasn't that excited. Hermione next to her jumped up and shouted happily, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to magic school!"
She ran around the yard while shouting. The two mothers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Jiang's mother took the letter and looked at it. After that, she said to Jiang Yue, "Is this some small club your school has set up? Can mom learn magic? If not, can you assign me an owl that can deliver letters?"
Hermione's mother was also at a loss for words. They both thought it was a prank by their children, and that they were just interested in the two owls. At this time, the fathers came over when they saw the laughter. The two fathers also read the letter and thought it was a trick played by the two children. They even performed a few poor magic tricks. After the performance, they said to Jiang Yue and Hermione, "Look! Isn't Dad's magic powerful!"
After saying that, she wanted to touch the owl, but was pecked a few times. At this time, Hermione said angrily: "Mom and Dad, it's real magic. If you don't believe me, ask Jiang Yue, she can do it too!" The four parents also perfunctorily agreed. After all, who felt that they couldn't do magic when they were young? They still believed that Santa Claus was real.
Seeing that no one believed her, Hermione looked around to see that there was no one around, and then she used magic to levitate the plate. Although it fell down after a few seconds, the adults around stopped laughing. Mr. Granger picked up the plate and checked it. There was no mechanism. He stammered to Hermione, "Dad, are you dazzled? Can you do it again?" After saying that, he looked at everyone else.
"No, I can't control my magic well. Let Jiang Yue come. She is much more powerful than me!"
After Hermione finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to her. Jiang Yue thought for a moment and snapped her fingers, and all the items on the table floated up, including two round-faced fat chickens that were eating meat. They were frightened and started squealing. After Jiang Yue put them down, they ran over and pecked her.
...................
Location: Hermione's living room.
Characters: Hermione, Jiang Yue, and both parents.
Now that the letters have been replied, the four adults are sitting on one side of the sofa, while Jiang Yue and Hermione are sitting on the small bench opposite the sofa: "So you already knew that you were a wizard, and you tacitly didn't tell us parents."
"Mom and Dad, it's not that I didn't tell my family, but I just discovered it recently. Before, I could only make things move occasionally, and I thought it was an illusion, so I never told anyone. It wasn't until Jiang Yue came that I accidentally discovered that she also had this talent, and then I started practicing with her."
After Hermione finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue secretly gritted her teeth and said, "What does it have to do with me if you don't tell your family? You're taking all the blame on me." Then Jiang Yue put on a depressed look and whispered, "The main thing is that I don't know whether this is a good or bad thing. I'm afraid it will implicate you. We have already discussed it. I'll tell you when we go to high school." After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she got goosebumps. She was sick of all the gossip.
The two mothers were in tears. I don’t know what was going on in their minds. They hugged their children and said, “Even bad things need to be told to us. We can’t let you two little kids bear the consequences.”
After this incident, the barbecue party was anticlimactic. After helping to pack up, everyone went back to their homes. Everyone had questions for their children. After Jiang Yue returned home, her parents began a new round of questions: "So the dean said that you were a bit withdrawn, didn't like to play with others, and were secretly studying magic by yourself?"
In fact, it was not like that, but it did not stop Jiang Yue from admitting it, so she nodded without hesitation. Mom and Dad looked at each other and nodded. Jiang's mother said, "I said it didn't look like it. After you went home, your dad and I were wondering if you were bullied in the orphanage, so you became lively after you got home."
After they started talking, the atmosphere became lively. Jiang's father and mother wanted Jiang Yue to show them some magic, but unfortunately Jiang Yue didn't know how to do it, so she could only make things float. The next day after receiving the letter, Professor McGonagall came over, which was much faster than Jiang Yue had imagined. Jiang Yue thought that with so many freshmen, it would take several days before it was their turn.
"Hello, Ms. Jiang Yue."
"I'm Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts and Professor of Transfiguration."
Jiang Yue retracted her scrutiny and said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, please come in and have a cup of tea."
When Jiang Yue's father and mother heard what Jiang Yue said, they hurried out to greet her. After Professor McGonagall entered the house, they greeted Jiang Yue's family and introduced themselves: "I am the vice-principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and also your future Transfiguration teacher. You can call me Professor McGonagall."
After introducing herself, Professor McGonagall made a request: "I wonder if you would mind, but your neighbor, Ms. Hermione Granger, is also a young wizard. Could you please invite her family over as well?"
"No problem, Professor. When the owl delivered the letter yesterday, we were having a barbecue party. At first we thought it was a prank by the children, until these two children showed us their magic tricks and we believed that there was real magic."
Professor McGonagall was a little surprised. It was the first time she had seen such a thing. After Mr. Jiang called Hermione's family over, the three parties began a formal conversation.
