Professor McGonagall?

Qiu Zhang's parents all looked at Andy and Qiu Zhang.

Andy had just had a fight with others on the street over Qiu Zhang, and Qiu Zhang had openly used magic in front of others.

Now Professor McGonagall is here.

Hogwarts doesn't do this kind of home visits very often.

Mrs. Zhang held Andy's hand and said comfortingly: "You saved Qiu, don't worry, with us here, you will be fine."

Andy remembered that Professor McGonagall was the Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts and also the Vice-Principal. He was always known for being strict.

After opening the door, a tall witch wearing a robe appeared in front of several people.

She was dressed quite elegantly and seriously, with sharp eyes and some white hair on her temples, which did not affect her majesty at all.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall." Qiu and her parents both stood up and greeted.

When Mrs. Zhang was studying at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall was already a professor in Hogwarts Castle.

After so many years, Professor McGonagall still has the same serious look, which makes Mrs. Zhang a little nervous.

Professor McGonagall walked into the house, greeted Qiu Zhang and her parents one by one, and then said: "Hello, I'm sorry for the unexpected visit today. I'm here to see Miss Qiu Zhang and Mr. Hall. I want to ask them. Are you two here?"

"Looking for me?" Qiu Zhang asked, pointing to himself with some guilt.

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing this, Andy also stood up from the sofa and said, "That's me."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hall." Professor McGonagall nodded to Andy and said, "As far as I know, Mr. Hall, you have received the letter from Hogwarts, right?"

"Yes."

Professor McGonagall said: "Let me introduce myself. I am the professor and deputy principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My name is Minerva McGonagall. I am responsible for teaching transfiguration at Hogwarts."

"I see that you are very happy getting along with the Qiu Zhang family. This means that you already know that magic exists in this world."

"And I am the professor sent by Hogwarts to welcome you. I will be responsible for handling all matters before your admission, and I will also be responsible for explaining all your questions."

"But before we do that, we have to solve the emergency caused by Miss Qiu Zhang just now."

Qiu Zhang said somewhat cautiously: "If you are referring to the obstacle spell I used today, I have already received the letter sent to me by the Ministry of Magic."

Professor McGonagall nodded slowly, and before she could speak, Andy said first: "I'm sorry, Professor, I know she shouldn't use magic outside of school, but Qiu just had to do it because of me. If If there is any responsibility, I should be the one responsible.”

Professor McGonagall glanced at Andy in surprise, and after a while said: "Where did you think you were, Mr. Hall? What I was about to tell you is that Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic have decided not to Let’s pursue Qiu Zhang’s use of magic in front of Muggles.”

"No investigation?" Andy and Qiu Zhang said in unison.

"Yes." Professor McGonagall turned to Qiu Zhang and said, "We already fully understand the cause and course of this matter."

"The Ministry and we both believe that if you had not taken action at the time, things could have been much worse."

"According to the Law on Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards, Miss Zhang, of course you are not allowed to use magic in front of Muggles."

"But this law also stipulates that you can reasonably use magic to protect yourself when your life is threatened."

"So, you get a stern warning, but that's about it."

"The staff of the Ministry of Magic have just erased the memories of those Muggles who witnessed you casting spells. They will think that they walked into that alley and saw Mr. Hall, and then they lost consciousness."

Qiu Zhang was surprised: "That means I won't be fired?"

"Yes, you will not be expelled." Professor McGonagall confirmed, "But, only this time, you will still have to abide by the rule that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school."

Qiu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, I promise."

"Okay, that's it. Then, the next thing is about you, Mr. Hall..." Professor McGonagall looked at Andy and the Qiu Zhang family standing behind him, "If possible, I hope to Talk to Mr. Hall alone."

Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang looked at each other, protecting Andy behind them, and said, "Andy and Qiu are friends, and they are of similar age. I think we can give Andy some advice."

"Yes, that's right." Qiu Zhang also nodded.

She stood beside Andy and looked directly into Professor McGonagall's eyes. Although she was very nervous, she had no intention of leaving.

Andy said, "It's okay, I can handle it all. I also hope to talk to Professor McGonagall alone. Can we borrow the yard?"

"This..." Mrs. Zhang said, "Okay, then I'll go prepare lunch, and stay for lunch at noon, okay Andy? Professor McGonagall, we also welcome you to join us."

The latter invitation was obviously insincere.

Professor McGonagall said sternly, "I think I won't bother you. After dealing with Mr. Hall's affairs, I have to rush back to Hogwarts."

"I'm very happy to." Andy smiled.

Professor McGonagall and Andy walked out of the back door and came to the courtyard of the villa. There were several rattan chairs and a low wooden table, which were very suitable for conversation.

Before leaving, Qiu looked at Andy with a worried look, and Andy gave her a reassuring expression in return.

After both of them sat down, Professor McGonagall looked at Andy for a long time before saying, "Mr. Hall, regarding Hogwarts, first of all, I need to know how much you know about magic?"

"Before this, did you know that you were a wizard?"

"The letter from Hogwarts was sent to me today." Andy said, "Qiu told me a lot, including various aspects of the magic world."

"Very good." Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Then I believe you have already known the basic situation of Hogwarts."

"Do you have the intention to go to Hogwarts to study?"

Andy asked, "This is actually a A multiple-choice question? Qiu told me that all wizards with magical talents will be selected by Hogwarts and have the opportunity to learn magic. "

"She is right." Professor McGonagall said, "The number of students admitted to Hogwarts each year is not fixed and cannot be manipulated manually."

"To be precise, all British wizards are eligible to enter Hogwarts, which is also the original intention of establishing Hogwarts."

"However, because your situation is really special, after a simple communication between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, it was finally decided that I would inform you of the relevant matters."

"You actually have the right to refuse the invitation of Hogwarts."
