A Magic School Explained
Friday morning brought with it a nervous energy to those at home. Ami came into the room and asked, "Are Heero, Trowa, and Duo home yet?"
"Sorry dear, they haven't come home yet. Now eat something. That Professor should be here in a little while. Quatre how was that phone call?" Wufei said, placing a plate in front of Ami.
"Fine, Heero, Trowa, and Duo have been delayed. Lady Une doesn't know when they'll be back, though she knows it'll be by the end of the next month. She's hoping by the end of the month though. I told her we'd let her know how things went today, so that she'd be able to help us with taking time to go to school and all the stuff that comes with it." Quatre responded.
"That's good, did she want anything else?" Ami asked.
"Not now. She'll check in with us on Monday to find out what we decided so she can wok out everything we'll need," Quatre said, "Don't worry Ami everything's fine."
A knock sounded on the door. "I'll get it." Wufei said getting up, he called, "Coming, who is it?"
"Professor McGonagall." was the the reply from the other side of the door.
Wufei opened the door allowing the professor entry saying, "Good morning Professor, I am Wufei Chang. Please come in, I believe we are meeting in the kitchen."
"Pleasant, meeting you. Are your parents home?" She asked, following Wufei into the house towards the kitchen.
"There are no parents here, we're all emancipated minors, and take care of each other. Unfortunately you are going to meet only three out of the six of us that live here, they got called away on business and we don't rightly know when they'll make it home." Wufei said.
"we could wait for them to come home to do this." Professor McGonagall suggested.
"We'll take care of it, now Ma'am. We'll catch them up whenthey return home." Wufei said, entering the kitchen, "Please take a seat, Quatre, where's Ami?"
"She went to go put her plate in the sink and get something to drink. She'll be back in a minute." Quatre replied.
"Professor this is Quatre Winner. Quatre this is Professor McGonagall." Wufei made the introductions.
"Hello Professor. I'll go see if Ami needs any help, would you like anything, we unfortunately don't have tea right now." Quatre said.
"Why not?" Wufei asked.
"Ami couldn't sleep last night, I'm amazed you didn't hear us. Ami dropped the tea, and I fortunately came along and helped her clean it up, then helped her make a cup." Quatre replied heading towards the kitchen.
"Water please, Mr. Winner." Professor McGonagall said.
"Ami that professor is here." Quatre said, entering the kitchen, "What's wrong?"
"Hee-chan's not here, he's supposed to be here, Quatre, I can't seem to do anything. I can find anything in the fridge." Ami said.
Quatre said, "What did you want, I'll help you get it then?"
"I wanted the juice in the fridge." Ami responded, a little more cheerfully at getting the help she needed at the moment.
"Can you get the drink tray from last night and I'll get your drink and Professor McGonagall's water, plus something for me and Wufei." Quatre said, hoping it would help cheer the young lady that he thought of as one of his favorite sisters.
"Alright, I can do that." Ami said, moving to where they left the tray, while he gathered the things need for everyone's drink.
"I have it, where do you want it?" Ami asked, turning in the direction that she knew Quatre to be.
"Just hold it and I'll fill it up and you can carry it into the room." Quatre said.
"Alright." Ami said, the nerves clear in her voice.
Quatre placed everything needed on the tray and said, "Let's g find out about this magic school, it won't be like last night. Lead the way my dear."
Ami led the way into the kitchen's dining area, "Wufei?" Ami questioned.
"To your right Ami, I'll take the try from here, you can sit in your normal place, Quatre and I will sit next to you." Wufei said, watching as she moved to hand him the tray.
He took the tray and watched again as Ami moved to the table with Quatre following close behind. He placed the tray on the table and handed out the glasses; saying, " Professor McGonagall this is Ami Winner-Yui. Ami, Professor McGonagall is sitting right in front of you, she has brown hair that's got some gray in it, and it is pulled back into a bun. She is wearing a green dress in an older fashion in a similar fashion to what you prefer to wear. She has green eyes, and she's taller than Trowa."
"Thank-you Wufei. Professor nice to meet you." Ami said.
"Nice to meet you Ami, may I ask a question?" Professor McGonagall responded.
"Go ahead." Quatre said, "If it's why Wufei described you to Ami, than it's because she is blind, and has been here long enough to be comfortable moving around."
"Thank-you Quatre. Now any questions?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"What does Hogwarts teach? What about disabled students, do you have any, are they taught any differently then the other students?" Ami asked.
"We don't have many disabled students, as they are mostly taught at home by their parents in the Wizarding World. Hogwarts teaches many subjects, such as; Transfiguration, Charms, and Potions. I guess that is a good place to start. First off, magic is real, would you like a demonstration?" Professor McGonagall said.
"Quatre and I would." Wufei said, "I have a feeling that Ami already knows magic is real."
"Well if it wasn't real I don't think any of us would be here talking to Professor McGonagall." Ami replied with some attitude, "Besides, I won't be able to see any of the proof anyway, seeing as I can't see."
"Well then what should I do," Professor McGonagall said, "I think I'll change this chair into a rabbit then." She pulled her wand out and changed the chair into a rabbit and back again.
"Alright let's say we agree to go, would we be placed with the first years or would we be placed with our year group, since none of us are eleven years old anymore? The oldest among us is fifteen and the youngest thirteen, well almost." Wufei asked.
"How did you all get missed at eleven?" But we can arrange something and place you all with your peer groups." The stern professor said.
"Well, we weren't exactly in a position to be studying at a school before now." Ami hedged, fidgeting with the attention she could feel directed her way, so she asked, "What?"
Quatre smiled at her outburst it had been building for a while he could tell. She never was one who liked lots of attention from others. "You remind me of someone, she went missing when she was very little." Professor McGonagall responded, "Is there anything else you need to know?"
"How does she seem familiar, she's my little sister." Quatre said.
"She reminds me of what I always thought my God-daughter would look like if she were around." Professor McGonagall replied, "Do you have any further questions about Hogwarts or magic before you make a decision?"
Wufei looked at his two companions, before saying, "No, we've decided. We're going to go ahead and agree to go to your school you don't happen to know the book lists for the years we don't have if we were to want to get the books that we missed due to the fact we weren't in a schooling position?"
"I think I can make sure you get the books you need to make sure your all up to pace with your peers." Minerva said with a smile.
"We'll just go get our stuff, unless you would like to have lunch before we go?" Quatre questioned.
"If you are ready to go we can go so that we can get back." Professor McGonagall responded.
"Alright. Ami, please go grab the lists of Heero, Trowa and Duo. They are on my desk in my office, on the keyboard. Then grab anything you think you might need." Quatre said.
"Okay I'll be back soon. Quatre could you make sure you have my cane, so I don't have to be completely reliant on you or Wufei." Ami said heading towards the door and stairs to go get what they would need, for the outing.
"It'll be here." Quatre said, moving to get it from the hall closet.
"So she's blind, are you sure she should be going to school?" McGonagall asked.
"Why shouldn't she, we're all going so she'd be left alone here. Besides she can take care of herself with the best of them. How will we be traveling?" Wufei asked.
"Port key. We will return the same way as well." she responded.
"Alright well then as soon as the others get back here we can go. I have our letters. Ami's bringing the other three letters and Quatre's getting the can, he has everything else we'll need." Wufei listed off.
"Wufei!" Ami called.
"Still in the kitchen, we'll be leaving from here." Wufei responded.
"Alright!" Ami called back, "If we wait fifteen minutes the others should be back." She said walking into the kitchen.
"How do you know that?" Wufei questioned as she walked further into the kitchen.
"'Cause I called Lady une to tell her our decision and she said the guys are on their way back to the house, so they can accompany us to get our supplies then." Ami answered sitting down at the table, as Quatre walked in.
"So everyone ready." Quatre said.
"Well Ami here called Lady Une, who said, that the other three will be here shortly." Wufei said.
"Well then, we shall wait for them, then we don't have to make a second trip for their robes." Quatre said.
They waited fifteen minutes, when the door opened and Duo called, "We're home!"
"In the kitchen, we were waiting for you to get back to go get school supplies." Quatre called back.
"Well then let us get this over with." Duo said, walking into the room.
"Well, Professor , this is Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton and Heero Winner-Yui. Guys this is Professor McGonagall. Alright introductions are over now let's get going so we can finish our shopping, today." Quatre said, getting up.
"How are we going to the shopping district to get our supplies?" Heero questioned.
"We'll be going by Port Key. Now everyone gather around and touch this piece of rope and we can be on our way." Professor McGonagall said.
They gathered around and put their fingers on the piece of rope as the Professor had directed. They felt a tug on their navels and they spun off to Diagon Alley with the Professor.
Upon arrival the group landed and moved to head in the direction that the Professor pointed them in. Heero moved closer to Ami and Quatre handed her her cane. "Where to Professor?" Duo asked.
"First we need to go to the bank so you all can get money for your supplies. Then we can go get your supplies, and we should end with a trip to Ollivander's to get your wands." Professor McGonagall said, heading in the direction of the Goblin run Wizarding bank, Gringotts.
