Huh? There's a magic school here.
Chapter 22 Home Visits in Progress (1)
Professor McGonagall, on the other hand, was standing in front of 128 Privet Road in Little Huigkin, Surrey, England. She was coming to Jeannault Madison's house this morning.
Jean-Nor Madison, being young, was very excited and got up early today, while Madison and his wife were more interested in watching the show and waiting for the other party to come over.
At exactly 10:00 a.m., the doorbell rang. The Madison family of three ran to the door, and Mr. Madison opened it.
They opened the door but saw no one, only a tabby cat perched on the doormat. Since Jean was a child, the Madisons had seen the Harry Potter movies with him and knew that Professor Minerva McGonagall's Animagus at Hogwarts was a tabby cat. However, seeing this for the first time, Mr. Madison tentatively asked, "Professor McGonagall?"
The cat leaped forward and swiftly transformed into a middle-aged woman wearing a dark green cloak and a black cone hat—exactly like the one in the movie. They even looked identical. Of the three, Nozomi was the fastest to react.
"Professor, you're amazing! Can you teach me?" Jean asked expectantly, looking up at her.
“Of course, Jean. That’s what I came for, but may I go inside first?”
“Oh, of course, Professor! Please come in!” The family of three quickly made way for her. As Professor McGonagall entered the room, she waved her hand, and her cone-shaped cap flew automatically to the coat rack. This made Mrs. Madison feel a pang of envy; if she knew such magic, how much trouble she could save!
"Professor, it's so kind of you to come in person. You must have had a long journey."
“This is what I should do, otherwise you might have too many doubts and give up on enrolling your child in school.”
"Yes, it is! It's unbelievable. We always thought those things were just in movies and novels. We never imagined that magic actually exists! You know, our education doesn't make us believe it's real!"
"Therefore, it is necessary for the Hogwarts faculty and staff to visit them."
"Although your magic is very powerful, we still have some concerns that we would like you to help answer."
"Of course, please speak!"
"For example, is Harry Potter real? Are there really Death Eaters persecuting wizards from Muggle families? If it's too dangerous to enroll, we won't agree to let Noah study there. Safety is the top priority!"
"Oh, Father! You can't do this! I'm going to Hogwarts to learn magic!" Just as Jean was about to say something, a sharp look swept over him, and he quickly shut his mouth, signaling to his mother that he would not interrupt.
"Oh, Mr. Madison, the question you raised doesn't actually exist. I don't know if you understand, but Harry Potter was indeed my student, but the events in the books and movies take place in another world. In your world, it's just novels and movies. It has nothing to do with reality. Well, no, it has some connection, that is, Hogwarts really exists, it's just that this Hogwarts school was only established this year! All the students come from the Muggle world, so there's no pure-blood discrimination!"
"What? It was just established this year? Can the quality of life be guaranteed? Jean is still young, he needs to supplement his nutrition, otherwise it will affect his physical development." Clearly, as a mother, Mrs. Madison was more concerned about her child's healthy growth.
“Oh, of course, that’s no problem. Our headmaster, Mr. Andres, is very wealthy. He can earn enough to keep the entire school running. Even if he loses his source of funding, do you think we wizards would be stumped by something like this? Although it’s not very ethical, money and material possessions are not necessities for us. We can easily acquire wealth that you can’t even imagine.”
"So, Professor, how much is the tuition? Do we need to go to Gringotts to exchange for Galleons?"
“No, because the magic system in this world has just been established. There are only two wizards, Principal Andres and I, so there is no monetary system. As for tuition, we plan to provide free education and living expenses for the first few years. The only thing Noah needs to prepare when he goes to school is his personal belongings.”
"I have one last question. Since you say that the magic system in this world has just been established and there is no magic society yet, what will happen to Renault after he graduates? After all, he hasn't learned any professional skills!"
“Mr. Madison, firstly, after learning magic, many things don’t need to be done as complicatedly as ordinary humans. Secondly, I’ve discussed this with Headmaster Andres. Since Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can be rebuilt, why can’t we rebuild a magical society? After all, a wizarding society also needs order, and since it needs order, it also needs wizards to manage it.”
“I understand. Can we visit the children regularly?” Mrs. Madison asked again.
"Yes, but we don't recommend it because children have winter and summer vacations and holidays when they can go home and spend time with their families. As far as I know, even schools in the Muggle world have boarding schools like ours, and they are usually under closed management. As for other times, since electronic devices cannot be used normally inside Hogwarts Castle, you can write to Jeanne through owls."
"But we don't have any owls. Are we going to keep one as a pet?"
"No need for that. We will set up several contact points in the UK, where you can send your letters for forwarding. If there is anything urgent, you can also call them and have their staff relay your message."
"Then we're relieved. We have no further questions. So, are you going to Hogwarts, or would you rather become a football star and play for Arsenal?"
"Yes, of course I agree to go to Hogwarts! I'm so envious of George and the others. I asked around and I'm the only one in the entire training camp who received an acceptance letter!"
"By the way, speaking of this issue, although we will eventually integrate into Muggle society, we still hope to keep it a secret for now. We hope you will keep it a secret and not reveal it to the outside world. Once we are ready, we will naturally announce our existence to the world."
"No problem, Professor. We understand that principle. After all, there are always some people who will do anything for profit."
"Well then, if there are no other problems, I'll take my leave now. An owl will deliver a message later telling you how to find Hogwarts and when school starts."
After the Madisons acknowledged their understanding, Professor McGonagall Apparated into the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. This was as the couple had agreed beforehand: they would meet after each home visit, and if nothing was amiss, they would part ways; otherwise, they would communicate promptly if any unusual circumstances arose.
