Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

"You are going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

Deborah frowned at William, but she did not show any surprise or confusion.

Deborah's expression made William a little confused.

After all, if an ordinary person heard about a magic school, they would be surprised or unbelieving, but Deborah did not.

So William asked,"Grandma, have you heard of Hogwarts?"

Deborah nodded:"Well, although I don't know much, I have heard of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

William was even more curious when he heard that his grandmother Deborah really knew about Hogwarts. As far as he knew, if ordinary people knew the existence of magic, they would be cast into a forgetfulness spell. He was very curious about how his grandmother knew about Hogwarts.

So, William asked again:"Where did you hear it from?"

Deborah patted William's palm and explained with a smile:

"William, although our family is not active in politics now, the first Duke was the leader of the parliamentary movement, and the fourth Duke was the prime minister, although only for a short year. The eighth and ninth Dukes were also high-ranking government officials."

"Although the magic world is hidden in the dark, they still have connections with high-level government officials to prevent the magic world from being exposed to ordinary people."

"The secrets passed down in our family record these events."

""I see." After listening to Deborah's explanation, William nodded in understanding.

Seeing William's interest in the magic world, Deborah sighed imperceptibly. This wise old man already understood his grandson's thoughts.

"William, are you going to Hogwarts?"

Although she was asking William, Deborah's tone was very affirmative.

William didn't pay attention to these small details. After hearing Deborah's question, he nodded excitedly:"Well, grandma, I want to learn magic."

"Well, then you can write back to Hogwarts, I think they should send someone to guide you into the magical world."

After hearing what Deborah said, William couldn't wait to get up and run to the study.

"Grandma, I'll go write a letter now and come back to chat with you later."

Deborah looked at William's receding figure, lost in thought. She was not as relaxed as she appeared to be about her grandson entering a strange magical world.

Soon, William finished writing the letter and came out. The owl who delivered the letter was the same one as before.

""Has the letter been sent out?" At this time, Deborah had calmed down and looked at William with a loving face.

William smiled and nodded:"It has been sent out."

Then there were some conversations between the grandparents and grandchildren, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

During these three days, William was looking forward to the arrival of the Hogwarts professor every day, and he even guessed whether it was Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick or other professors.

But three days passed, and the professors of Hogwarts still did not come, and William's original excitement slowly calmed down.

As a result, this morning, William and his grandmother Deborah were having breakfast, and the butler Lawrence came in to report that a professor from Hogwarts came to visit.

Hearing this news William's calm mood instantly became excited when he heard the noise. He dropped the knife and fork in his hand and ran to the door.

At this time, a woman in her fifties or sixties stood at the door of the castle. She had a serious expression, wore square glasses, a green cloak, and a tall wizard hat on her head.

William saw her as soon as he went out, and a name instantly popped up in his mind - Minerva McGonagall.

This image is exactly the same as described in the book, and the appearance is similar to that in the movie. It feels magical.

However, William quickly calmed down and returned to his usual elegant and calm appearance.

"" Hello, ma'am. Are you the professor at Hogwarts?"

William asked Professor McGonagall politely. Although he had roughly determined the identity of the person in front of him, he could not explain why he knew McGonagall's identity.

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly:"Mr. Cavendish, I am the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Minerva McGonagall. You can call me Professor McGonagall."

""Okay, Professor McGonagall, please come in."

William warmly invited Professor McGonagall into the castle.

"Grandma, this is Professor McGonagall, the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts."

"Professor McGonagall, this is my grandmother.

William smiled and introduced the two to each other.

"Professor McGonagall, welcome. Please take a seat. Deborah said politely.

"" Thank you, ma'am." McGonagall thanked them and sat down gracefully.

After the butler Lawrence poured tea for William and the other two, he was very perceptive and left the living room with the servants. He was indeed a professional butler.

Before Professor McGonagall could speak, Deborah took the lead and said,"Professor McGonagall, although I believe in the existence of magic, could you please demonstrate it?" Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the fruits on the table grew short legs and began to dance.

This magical scene made Deborah and William feel that their eyes had been opened.

The subsequent conversation went very smoothly. Every year, Hogwarts has new wizards of Muggle origin, and Professor McGonagall will also receive these new students every year.

So this set of procedures is already very familiar, and William and Deborah already believe in the existence of the magical world, which also saves McGonagall's effort in persuading them.

"Mr. Cavendish, now that you understand everything, let's go to Diagon Alley and buy you teaching materials and equipment as soon as possible."

"Oh, and bring some Muggle cash, as you'll need to convert it into wizarding currency."

""Okay, Professor McGonagall." William nodded obediently.
