Prompts: Minerva McGonagall, Hermione Granger and 'Hogwarts Letter'
Hermione Granger always had interesting things happening around her much to the confusion of her parents Janet and Robert Granger. Little did they know that would be explained by a certain Transfiguration Professor and a piece of paper. There was a knock on the door a few days before Hermione's eleventh birthday
"You expecting anyone?" Robert asked his wife and daughter.
"No."
Robert got up and answered the door to face a skinny woman in her early fifties standing on the porch.
"Hello I'm Minerva McGonagall, may I come in."
"Why are you here, Mrs. McGonagall?"
"It's Miss, may I come in?"
Robert nodded and invited the mysterious woman in.
"Who is at the door, dear?" Janet asked.
"I'm Professor McGonagall, I'm the Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Magic isn't real." Hermione said indignantly.
McGonagall smirked and waved her wand.
"That's magic?"
"Yes, it is. I'm witch just like you."
Hermione was still suspicious.
McGonagall took out a letter. "This is your Hogwarts letter."
"Hogwarts?"
"Yes, it's a boarding school in Scotland."
Hermione cautiously took the letter, opened it and read it.
"You'll be able to attend next year since the school year already started and you weren't eleven."
Hermione nodded. Everything was now explained just by a piece of paper called a Hogwarts Letter.
