Chapter 9 Reply?
Wright took the parchment letter delivered by the postman. Even without opening the envelope and looking at the contents of the letter paper inside, Wright knew what was written on it. It was the Hogwarts admission letter that he had been dreaming about. .
The postman took out a thick pile of letters from the mail bag and stuffed them all into Wright's hands. Some of these letters come from families who have adopted children in orphanages, some come from caring people in society who are concerned with the living conditions of children in orphanages, and others. All these letters had to be handed over to the director of the orphanage, Susanna, for processing. After Wright made sure that there were no other letters addressed to him in this pile of letters, he went straight to Susanna's office.
Standing at the door of the office, Wright took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. Just now, his attention was completely attracted by the Hogwarts admission letter, and he walked to the office that he had avoided for many days without realizing it.
"Please come in." Susanna's unhurried voice came from behind the office door.
"Dean, this is the letter that the postman just delivered today." Wright gently opened the door and walked in. As he spoke, he put the thick pile of letters on Susanna's desk.
"Okay!" Susanna took off her glasses and pinched the corners of her sore eyes.
"If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Wright stared at the bookshelf on the left, as if something extremely interesting was happening there.
"Of course I have questions for you, Wright." Susanna put on her glasses again. In recent years, her vision had declined due to dealing with too many documents, and she had to wear glasses. Of course, from Wright's point of view, those black, thick, large-framed glasses were really not suitable for Susanna, and almost made her appearance drop to another level.
"Oh? Is it about Chef Steven?" Wright had to turn his head to face Susanna and said dryly, "I heard some people in the orphanage said that he stayed in the orphanage because of you. of."
"Light! You know what I want to ask." Susanna's expression did not change at all, as if she was not interested in this topic at all, "Have you decided which middle school to go to? I think Fetis Middle School is very good. Based on your grades, they will definitely send you an invitation letter, and maybe they will also reduce your tuition fees because of your situation.”
"Um..." This is the reason why Wright has been avoiding Susanna these days. After Susanna received Wright's SATs report card, she has been asking a question, which is Wright's favorite middle school.
"Or do you want to go to Edinburgh High School? Or do you want to go to London?" Susanna continued to ask, her voice still maintaining the same volume as before.
"Maybe, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Wright said softly, trying not to look into Susanna's eyes.
"Sorry, Hogg, what?" Susanna frowned. Wright's voice just spoke was too soft, and she couldn't hear it clearly. But Susanna searched her mind and couldn't find any good middle schools starting with Hogg.
Wright took a deep breath and took out the parchment letter, "I mean, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Magic school?" Susanna put her elbows on the desk and put one hand on her forehead. It seemed that she had no desire to read the letter that Wright took out. As a kid going to middle school, you shouldn’t be as serious about magic as a three- or four-year-old kid.”
The standard attitude of a Muggle who has never been exposed to the magical world, Wright made an impolite comment in his heart.
"You know, Oak also realized that magic is impossible after he was six years old." Susanna continued, "You should go back and think about it first. It is already July, and the invitation letters from good middle schools are almost gone. It's coming! This is a matter of your whole life, and I think you should understand its importance. "
If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd have almost forgotten about Oak! This guy has never sent a letter to the orphanage since he was adopted by a middle-aged lady when he was eight years old. But looking at you now, it seems like this guy just didn't send me a letter specifically! snort!
Wright closed his eyes, said goodbye to Susanna, and then returned to his small room on the second floor. Susanna originally wanted to move Wright out of the room after he woke up, but Wright refused at the time. That included a lot of Wright's dark history, including crying and making trouble. Afterwards, Susanna never mentioned asking Wright to move out of this small room, but over the past few years, Wright had become completely familiar with and accustomed to this room.
Wright closed the door behind him and sat at the new table. The original old table in the room had completed its historical mission two years ago, ending its long decades of life. Then Wright gave its remains to Steven, providing the world with the last bit of residual heat as firewood.
Opening the envelope in his hand, Wright took out the parchment paper inside. The content of the letter was roughly the same as Wright's impression, a letter of admission and a list of school supplies. The only difference from the impression is that there is a small note inside, which is written in emerald green ink in cursive script:
Since Mr. Letpas was born in Muggle society, he did not know the existence of the magical world. Therefore, the school will send a staff member to visit you the day after you have received your Hogwarts admission letter. Explain everything to your parents or guardians and tell you about the admissions process.
So, there is another professor from the school here? Wright recalled the faculty at the school. He didn't know whether it would be Professor McGonagall or another professor. Professor Flitwick was unlikely. His size was too eye-catching in the Muggle world. But Wright only hoped that it wasn't Dumbledore and Snape who came. These two Legilimency masters were really terrifying. At least before learning Occlumency, Wright didn't want to face the magic of Legilimency.
While thinking about it, Wright picked up a piece of letter paper from the table. This is one of the essential school supplies for good students. He took out another black pen and started writing a letter.
Dear Headmaster Albus Dumbledore:
I had received my acceptance letter to Hogwarts and I was extremely excited to go to a magical school. However, my guardian, Mrs. Susanna, does not seem to understand and support my study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I hope that the staff you sent can help convince her and allow her to accept my study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Sincerely,
Letpas
Wright folded the letter and put it into the envelope. After sealing the seal with wax, Wright began to fill in the required information on the surface of the envelope.
Then he got stuck at filling in the delivery address. What should he fill in here? Hogwarts Castle? Hogsmeade? Also, he doesn't have an owl at all, so how can he send a letter?
If that's the case, why should we add a sentence in the admission letter: "We will wait for your owl to bring your reply before July 31st"?
