After sending a reply to the letter, John tried using magic in the next few days. But ultimately he only achieved to cast a Levitation spell without wand and it's pretty unstable at first. Then he started to get the hang of it. He can now use it to lift more weight.
One day while John is practicing magic in his room. He saw a woman wearing emerald coloured robes entering the orphanage. She waved her wand and the matron who cast suspicious glances at her immediately became more welcoming. The matron guided McGonagall to John's room.
When John opened the door, he saw Minerva McGonagall, the transfiguration professor at Hogwarts.
[ Minerva McGonagall ]
[ Race : Human (Magi) ]
[ Traits : Mana Affinity, Transfiguration Genius, Animagus (cat), Kind hearted ]
[ Skills / Spells : Inanimate Transfiguration, Animate Transfiguration, Animagus, Elemental Transfiguration, Administration, Occulamancy (Intermediate), Finite, Petrificus Totalus etc., ]
Looking at the traits and a list full of spells, John raised an eyebrow, he clicked on the Transfiguration Genius trait and it showed 4 hours to download this one. He looked at McGonagall straight in the eyes and asked," who are you ma'am? ", McGonagall looked at John up and down before saying," I'm Minerva McGonagall, vice headmistress of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Also your transfiguration professor if you join Hogwarts. Before you ask anything, yes magic is real ".
She transformed the book nearby into a cat that rolled and jumped around like a real one. John said," I know magic is real. I can use it ", John stretched his hand while the transfigured book which is now a cat flew into his hands.
McGonagall nodded and said," that saves us time. There is also a girl who lives nearby and she can use magic like you. I visited them yesterday. If you agree to join Hogwarts, I'll take you along with them to diagon alley to buy school supplies. You can call me professor McGonagall or professor is also fine ".
John said," I agree to join Hogwarts. But I have no money. How am I going to buy when I'm penniless professor? ", McGonagall said," that's no problem. The founders of Hogwarts left a huge sum to provide scholarships for students like you. There is also ministry and the board of governors in Hogwarts that fund Hogwarts. You'll have no problem buying school supplies for Hogwarts ".
John said," Thank you for informing me professor. So when are we going to diagon alley? ", McGonagall said," today ".
After few minutes and another confundus on the matron, McGonagall took John with her. McGonagall took John to the house of Grangers. Hermione is confused when she saw John with McGonagall before smiling happily. She won't be alone now in the wizarding world.
As John took his time to download the strong memory trait from Hermione. This time the download reached 3 and half hours. Looks like depending on the trait and situation, it changes the download time. As John is looking at her without taking his eyes off, Hermione grew flustered. Her cheeks tinted with a blush as she nudged John. John snapped out of his thoughts only then and said," I'm sorry. My bad. Lost in train of thought ".
John scratched his back for head and smiled wryly. As McGonagall said the way, Mr Granger drove to the leaky couldron. As they entered the bar, Mr Granger looked around with a suspicious glance. As he saw the menu of items in there, he is even more suspicious. McGonagall seemed to sense his suspicion and took them directly to the back of leaky couldron.
She said seriously," Now remember this very clearly. This will be your future passage into diagon alley. From the trash bin, Tap the brick in the wall that is three up and two across three times, You'll have a passage to diagon alley ", The brics on wall shifted and made an archway into diagon alley. When the Grangers saw the bustling street filled with people wearing medieval clothing, they are so surprised.
Mrs. Granger asked," all of this is in the heart of london and no one from our side realised anything ", McGonagall said," The statute of secrecy prevents the existence of wizarding world from being spread into muggles. This is to ensure safety between both sides and to avoid conflicts. The muggle repelling charm will prevent any muggles from entering places like this unless they have a wizard or witch tagging along with them. That's why muggles know very little about us ".
Mr Granger asked," Madam McGonagall, if perhaps Hermione were to refuse joining the wizarding world what would have happened to us who came into contact with magic folk ", McGonagall said seriously," The ministry should have erased your memories of wizarding world and left you alone. But as you know, Miss Granger is now a witch. If she doesn't learn to control her magic, as I said yestersay, she would have become an obscurus that destroys everything. At that time, your family will be in danger and Miss Granger would have to be neutralised since she can easily destroy a city in that state which she will have no control over. She will eventually succumb to death as she becomes an obscurus. That's why it's absolutely necessary for young wizard or witch to join hogwarts, In order prevent this disaster from ever re-appearing again ".
