Professor McGonagall?

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

Andy had just fought with someone on the street for Qiu Zhang, and Qiu Zhang had even used magic in front of others.

Now Professor McGonagall came to the door.

Hogwarts doesn't often make such home visits.

Mrs. Zhang took Andy's hand and comforted him,"You saved Qiu, don't worry, you will be fine with us here."

Andy remembered that Professor McGonagall was the professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts and also the vice-president, and was known for her strictness.

After opening the door, a tall witch in a robe appeared in front of them.

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

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

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

After so many years, Professor McGonagall has still not changed. , still looking serious, which made 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 my sudden visit today. We are here to see Miss Qiu Zhang and Mr. Hall. Are they here?"

"Find me? Qiu Zhang pointed at himself and asked with some guilt.

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing this, Andy also stood up from the sofa and said:"I am"

"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 a professor and vice-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 get along very well with Qiu Zhang's family, which means that you already know that magic exists in this world."

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

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

Qiu Zhang said a little stiffly:"If you mean the barrier spell I used today, I have received the letter from 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 the school, but Qiu just did it for me, so she had to do it.

If there is any responsibility, then I should be the one responsible.

" Professor McGonagall looked at Andy in surprise, and after a long while she said:"What are you thinking about, Mr.

Hall? What I was going to tell you is that Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic have decided not to pursue the matter of Qiu Zhang using magic in front of Muggles.

"

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

"Yes." Professor McGonagall turned to Qiu Zhang and said,"We have fully understood the cause and process of this incident."

"The Ministry and we all agree that if you hadn't intervened, things could have been much worse."

"According to the law on reasonable restraint of underage wizards, Ms. Zhang, you are of course 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 it."

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

Qiu Zhang was surprised and said,"That means I won't be fired?"

"Yes, you will not be expelled." Professor McGonagall confirmed,"But, this is only for this time. In the future, you 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"

"Well, that's it. Now, let's talk about you, Mr. Hall.……"Professor McGonagall looked at Andy and the Qiu and Zhang family standing behind him,"If possible, I hope to talk to Mr. Hall alone."

Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang looked at each other, protected 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 next to Andy and looked directly into Professor McGonagall's eyes. Although she was very nervous, she had no intention of walking away.

Andy said:"It's okay. I can handle all this. I also hope Can I have a private chat with Professor McGonagall? Can we borrow the courtyard?"

"this……"Mrs. Zhang said,"Okay, then I'll prepare lunch and stay for lunch, okay Andy? Professor McGonagall, you are also welcome to join us."

The latter invitation was obviously not sincere.

Professor McGonagall said without a smile:"I don't think I'll bother you anymore. After I deal with Mr. Hall's matter, I have to rush back to Hogwarts.""

"I'd be happy to do so." Andy said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall and Andy walked out of the back door and came to the yard of the villa, where there were several rattan chairs and a low wooden table, which was 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?"

"Did you know you were a wizard before this?"

"The letter from Hogwarts just arrived in my hands today. Andy said:"Qiu told me a lot, including all aspects of the magic world."

"very good. Professor McGonagall nodded and said,"Then I believe you already know the basic situation of Hogwarts.""

"Do you want to go to Hogwarts to study?

Andy asked:"Is this actually a multiple-choice question?" Qiu told me that all wizards with magical talents will be selected by Hogwarts and given 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."

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

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

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