Huh? There's a magic school here.

Chapter 23 Home Visits in Progress (2)

Shortly after Professor McGonagall returned, another figure appeared in the office.

"Principal Andres, is everything going smoothly?"

"Not bad. Diane is a very independent girl with the courage to try new things. I think she'll do well in Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall, how are things going on your end?"

"I'm doing well on my end too. The Madisons are more concerned about their son's healthy development. By the way, that Jean is a young player in the Muggle world who plays a sport called football, which reminds us that we also need to strengthen our children's exercise. Although we are wizards and can use magic, I don't think having a strong physique is a bad thing."

"Of course, once we have enough people, we can organize Quidditch matches. Professor McGonagall, let's take a short rest; we still have home visits to make this afternoon."

After saying this, Andres called Dobby over, and Dobby quickly prepared a table full of food and drinks. After Andres and Professor McGonagall had lunch together, they each went off to rest.

The next few days went smoothly, until one afternoon.

Andres rang the doorbell precisely on time in front of Beretta Morey's house in London.

The person who opened the door was a woman about his age, who looked like a strong, capable woman with brown hair, glasses, and a business suit.

"Hello, is this the home of Ms. Beretta Morey?"

“Yes, I am Catherine Morey, Beretta Morey’s sister. I expect a reasonable explanation from you, or as a lawyer, I will not only bankrupt you but also send scum like you to where you belong!”

“Well, alright. Ms. Catherine, I suppose you may not have the opportunity to do that. May I go in and talk now?”

"Sister, you can't always be like this, you'll never find a boyfriend if you keep doing this!" A little girl covered her forehead with an expression that said, "You've defeated me."

"Don't say that, little one! Your sister is still very charming. You must be Beretta? It's nice to meet you!" Andres ignored Catherine's dark face and went straight into the house to greet Beretta.

So, Beretta, what do you like?

"Barbie dolls! I have the whole Barbie doll set!"

"Is this the kind?" Andres said, taking a large plush toy from his pocket and handing it to Beretta.

Beretta stared wide-eyed, curious; she couldn't believe that such a large doll could be hidden in Andres's suit.

“Sir, first of all, it’s very impolite of you not to introduce yourself. Secondly, you don’t think you can fool me with such a little trick, do you? Such a little trick can only fool a child like Beretta.”

“Catherine! I’m not a child anymore. I’m eleven years old!” Beretta said angrily, hands on her hips, glaring at Catherine.

“Well, sorry! My name is Andreas Morrie, and I am the headmaster of Hogwarts. I’m here to visit you about Miss Beretta’s admission.”

"Alright, Mr. Liar. If that's all you wanted to say, then you can leave. You should know I just quit my job today and I'm not in a good mood. I don't have time to play these boring tricks with you!"

“Okay, I understand! Is this alright?” Andres said, taking out his wand from his spatial bag and casting a transformation spell on the doll in Beretta’s hand. The doll turned into a snow-white rabbit, which tried to struggle to escape from Beretta’s arms.

"Catherine, look! It's turned into a rabbit! And it's alive! I told you I'd become a wizard, and you said it was just a trick for kids. Now you're dumbfounded!" Beretta said excitedly, soothing the rabbit in her arms.

“Well, I may have been a bit hasty. But I still need to speak with Mr. Andres. Beretta, could you please get me two glasses of water?” Catherine was also shocked, because the doll turning into a rabbit had really happened before her eyes; it certainly didn’t look like magic.

Beretta looked at the rabbit she was holding with a troubled expression; it was clear she didn't want to let go. Andres tapped the rabbit with her wand again, and it turned back into a doll. Only then did Beretta put down the doll and run off to get some water.

"Ms. Catherine, can you trust me now?"

“Of course, but Mr. Andres, it’s still hard to believe. You know our education has always taught us to trust science.”

“I can understand that; I also went to school in the Muggle world! May I ask if you are really a lawyer? Why did you leave your job?”

"Haha, okay! I'm not a lawyer, I just wanted to scare away the scammers. I'm sorry about that!"

Just as Catherine was about to continue speaking, Beretta ran over with two glasses of water and said to Andres...

"I know, I know why Catherine quit. It's all because her boss, Jack, always tried to bully her! That boss of hers is a scoundrel!"

Catherine blushed slightly and explained shyly, "You know, women in the workplace often have to deal with all sorts of troubles."

"I understand. I noticed your diploma hanging on the wall when I came in. You are a top student who graduated from Imperial College London?"

"Yes, I'm a good student, but my parents passed away in an accident, which delayed my studies for a while. Otherwise, I definitely could have gone to Oxford!"

"So what are your plans for the future? Have you found a suitable job?"

"Not yet, what's wrong? Oh, are you worried about Beretta's tuition and living expenses? Don't worry, I will definitely pay them on time. I want Beretta to be able to finish her studies no matter what!"

After Catherine finished speaking, she hugged Beretta in her arms, and Beretta seemed a little downcast as she hugged her sister.

"Hmm? I think you've misunderstood Catherine. At this stage, Hogwarts is free. As for the future, it will depend on the situation. Of course, when I say free, I mean it includes daily living necessities, but not pocket money."

“Thank you so much, Principal Andres. May I ask if there really is a magical world? You know, it's not just Beretta, I'm very curious about it too.”

"Not yet. Beretta and the others will be the first students at Hogwarts and the first wizards in the magical world. However, I believe that in the not-too-distant future, these students will build a new magical world!"

"The first batch of students? So there's nothing left?" Catherine frowned slightly.

"Not entirely. Our castle facilities are still in good working order, so you don't need to worry about that. However, we are currently short-staffed. I wonder if Ms. Catherine would be willing to come and help us?"

"But I don't know magic! What can I do?"

"Here's the thing, besides establishing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I've also set up a company in the Muggle world. This company mainly serves the school, because there's no magical world, so we need to buy many things in the Muggle world, such as food. But I can't get away from doing these things, so I need an assistant who understands Muggle society. I wonder what Miss Catherine's thoughts are?"
