I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 8 The first meeting with Professor McGonagall

Time always passed by inadvertently. While Ian was thinking, Professor McGonagall also received a letter from Old Tom.

Looking at the contents on the thin piece of parchment in front of her, she pondered for a moment, but did not choose to reply immediately, because she decided to go to the Leaky Cauldron in person to meet the troublesome boy Tom was talking about.

As is his nature, it is clear that Professor McGonagall is hands-on with anything that concerns students.

In the Leaky Cauldron, after a whole morning of thinking, Ian is sitting in the corner enjoying the hard-earned food, looking around at the guests, sitting on the side as a spectator, secretly observing is one of the few things he does One of many interests.

The green flame rising in the fireplace was due to Floo fans. As a famous scene in the HP world, even though he had seen it many times before, his attention would still be attracted by it.

"coax!"

This time it was a tall, stern-looking lady who walked out, wearing an emerald green gown and a pointed hat tilted to one side.

After coming out of the fireplace, he walked straight to Old Tom without any unnecessary movements. He was obviously a lady with strong execution ability.

"Oh, the Lord is here. It really is Professor McGonagall. He really does things without delay."

It's just that Ian didn't get up. The main reason is that he "doesn't know" Professor McGonagall at the moment. If he greets rashly, it will be difficult to explain clearly.

In just a few minutes, Old Tom led Professor McGonagall to this side.

"This is the Hogwarts Vice-Headmaster I told you about earlier, Ms. Minerva McGonagall."

Old Tom happily introduced it to Ian, then turned his head slightly and said to Professor McGonagall.

"This is the child mentioned in the letter, Ian Titus. I think I should leave the time to you. I still have my own work to do."

After saying that, Old Tom turned and left.

"Okay Tom, leave it to me here."

Professor McGonagall looked at the handsome boy in front of her slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something, she smiled and said to Ian:

"Mr. Titus, hello, I think we should have met before, in Mrs. Malkin's gown shop, but there were many girls around at that time."

Ian stood up and bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Professor McGonagall, you can call me Ian. Regarding what we have seen before, I can only say that it is a pity. You also know that the environment at that time was too noisy. , so that I can't remember too many people."

"Okay, Ian, Tom told me about your situation, did you understand that you don't actually resist going to school? It's rare, most kids your age just think about the holidays. Although Huo Gewarts is not compulsory for young wizards who have channeled their magic, but we will never turn away school-age students who are eager to learn."

"Here you only need to complete your studies seriously, and you don't need to worry about anything else. If you encounter something that you can't handle well, you can directly go to me or other professors. No one can hurt the students here."

"What's more, Hogwarts has the greatest white wizard of this century. As the headmaster, Mr. Dumbledore, even in the most chaotic period, could not threaten Hogwarts at all."

Professor McGonagall spoke quickly, and looked down at his pocket watch after speaking.Apparently, the vice-principal was very busy at work in the two days before school started, and there was obviously not enough time.

Seeing this, Ian didn't dawdle anymore, and straight-forwardly stated his problem:

"Professor McGonagall, maybe Mr. Tom didn't tell you about my situation in detail. My family changed when I was supposed to enter school. I have been living an exile-style life with my mother for three years since I was 11 years old. .”

"Afterwards, my mother's death made me almost desperate. I was wandering around in a daze. I came here inexplicably a week ago. What I want to say is that I don't have any foundation, and I may not know as much as a freshman. The previous life is really true. It has exhausted us."

"Oh my God, poor boy."

Professor McGonagall was also a little moved when he heard Ian's experience.Ian just narrated briefly, but she, who was well-informed, saw loneliness and despair in the eyes of the other party.

"Ian, believe me, it's over, no one can hurt you at Hogwarts."

When Professor McGonagall spoke, the confidence of a thousand-year-old prestigious school was vividly displayed at this moment.

Then he said: "The courses that were dropped before are not a problem. Although the grade you enter cannot be changed because of your age, I can approve you to attend their courses in lower grades."

"And tell other professors about your situation, I think they are very happy to help you solve the problems you encounter in your study in their spare time, and properly tutor you with some lacking knowledge."

Having said all this, Ian immediately nodded in good faith, and replied politely: "Thank you, this is really great, I like magic, and I also yearn for magic."

Professor McGonagall looked at the polite child in front of him, and said apologetically, "But before that, you need to meet our principal, although I have the right to decide your admission."

"But your name has not been recorded in the admission book, which requires the headmaster to enforce his rights. But don't worry, although Dumbledore usually doesn't manage school affairs very much, this matter I think he'll figure it out pretty quickly."

As I said before, Professor McGonagall is a man of action. After receiving Ian's affirmative answer, he dragged him towards the fireplace, preparing to go to Hogwarts through the Floo network.
