[HP] Can you be gentle with me

At nine o'clock, the doorbell rang on time.

Josh immediately jumped up, walking stiffly to open the door.While waiting, everyone did not dare to breathe very loudly.

Finally, Josh brought a tall and thin old man into the living room. His expression was a little weird. Just when the others were about to ask questions, they saw the old man's attire behind him.

"........."

"........."

No wonder Josh's expression was so stiff.The old man's beard reaches his waist, which is not the weirdest thing, but his clothes, as if he came out of the middle ages, and the color matching is extremely strange, colorful and full of big yellow stars, suddenly , everyone didn't know what to say.

"Hi, I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore," the old man smiled. "You should have seen my name on the letter."

"Oh, yes." Hamish responded first. "Uh...let me ask first, isn't this a prank?"

"Of course not." The old man still smiled. "Miss Watson is gifted with magic. Simply put," he paused. "Miss Watson is a witch."

"Witch?" Josh's voice raised a bit, the heinous witch in the movie was actually applied to his little sister.

"It's not derogatory," the old man explained quickly. "I'm a wizard. That's what we're called. Men are wizards, and women are witches."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Tahlia spoke wisely. "Uh... shall we sit down first? Dumbledore... Headmaster? Would you like some drinks? Tea? Coffee?"

"Tea is fine, thank you." While Tahlia went to the kitchen to pour tea, Dumbledore directly took out his wand and waved it. A chair appeared behind him. He sat down calmly and blinked at the stunned crowd.

"That..." Billy swallowed, pointing at Dumbledore, which was rude, but he couldn't think of that much at the moment.

"Yes, it's magic," said Dumbledore. "If Miss Watson goes to Hogwarts to study, then she can do it too."

"So she...Tahlia she...she really can...magic?" Josh asked.

"Didn't you already ask your doubts in the letter?" Dumbledore blinked again. "About the unexplained grotesque events that happened to her?"

"um, yes……"

"That's the result of untrained little wizards unable to control their own magic power. It's usually the child's unconscious behavior, and Hogwarts will notify all magically gifted children after they reach the age of 11. Help them learn all about magic..."

"What if I don't join the Academy?" Tahlia's voice came suddenly.She has come out of the kitchen with tea.

Dumbledore didn't expect to be asked this question and froze for a moment.

"Headmaster, your tea." Tahila placed the tea in front of Dumbledore. "That... I've planned my future before, and I want to ask if it's okay to..." Tahlia chooses words carefully. "Wait until I finish my studies here before going to school?"

Dumbledore came back to himself. "I'm afraid it won't work, Ms. Watson. If you don't start training when your magic power is just mature at the age of 11, no matter how much you learn in the future, you won't be able to learn well. I still recommend you to enroll now." He looked at the people beside him. "Besides, if you don't learn to control the magic power when it starts to grow rapidly, it will be very dangerous. I'm afraid it will cause an unimaginable loss of control, and it may endanger the safety of Miss Watson and even you."

"Is that so..." Tahlia thought for a moment. "Okay," she said. "I will enroll, what do I need to prepare?"

"Speaking of which," Dumbledore said. "You just need to buy everything on the book list. Hogwarts doesn't need to pay tuition fees. It adopts a full-semester dormitory system. You don't have to worry about board and lodging. The only things you have to buy at your own expense are the ones listed on this list. You don’t need to buy things like wands, scales, etc. once every year, so it’s actually not a big burden.”

"Where do you get these?" Tony asked. "I've never heard of a place that sells these anymore."

"Ah, yes, that's one of my goals today," said Dumbledore. "Today I will take Miss Watson to our wizard's shopping street, called Diagon Alley, the entrance is in London..."

"Can we go?" Josh asked.

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment before answering. "I can take one of you with me."

"I'll go." Josh said immediately.

"Okay," said Dumbledore. "By the way, why didn't you see Mrs. Watson?" It turned out that Dumbledore also thought Josh was Tahlia's father.

"Mr. Principal, Josh is my brother." Tahlia's clear voice sounded. "They are both my older brothers, our parents died three years ago."

"I'm sorry…" Dumbledore said guiltily. "So, do you have any questions?"

"Yes," Tahlia asked. "How long will it take me to graduate?"

"Seven years," Dumbledore replied. "Also, the adult age in our magic world is 17 years old, which seems to be a little different from yours here..."

"Tahlia has never been exposed to these before, will she fall behind in school?" Josh asked.Although Tahlia is very smart, maybe the children in the magic world have already learned a lot, and he was afraid that Tahlia would have to study hard by then.

"You don't have to worry about that." Dumbledore smiled. "Even children in the wizarding world don't know how to learn magic before entering school, and there are many Muggle-borns in the school—that is, people who don't know magic, so everyone's starting point is the same, and there is no need to worry about falling behind in their studies... ..."

It seems that going to Hogwarts to study is a good choice for Tahlia, the four men exchanged glances, and Josh spoke. "Then, I'll take care of you."

Dumbledore was a little surprised by the family's reaction. The four men asked so many questions, and none of them thought that magic was a monster-like power. Instead, they all really thought about their sister. What kind of brother-sister relationship is this? , Dumbledore had been to many Muggle-born families before, many of whom regarded magic as a disease, and kept asking him if there was any possibility of a cure.And Ms. Watson is also very sensible. After knowing her identity, she did not panic, but calmly weighed the pros and cons. Even if she has never seen Tahlia cast magic, Dumbledore can assert that she will be an excellent witch in the future, and that she loves her so much. family, she will not be attracted by evil forces in the future.

Dumbledore took Josh and Tahlia to London. On the way, Dumbledore and the two introduced the wizarding world's currency and the exchange rate for Muggle currency, and first told Josh to bring enough money.After entering the Leaky Cauldron, Josh was almost left alone because he couldn't see the bar. Fortunately, Tahlia held his hand tightly all the way.They walked directly into the back space, Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped the wall above the trash can, and then, the bricks on the wall moved as if alive, gradually forming an arch, which made Josh marvel at the magic again the magic.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley," said Dumbledore, smiling, holding his hand open.

Tahlia has never seen such a magical place. There are unknown things flying around along the way, as well as novel and weird products in the store, which makes Tahlia dazzled.And judging by Josh's wide-eyed reaction, it's clear he feels the same way as Tahlia.

Dumbledore took them to Gringotts, exchanged enough Galleons and Sickles, and then prepared to start their shopping trip.

"What should we buy first, Headmaster?" Tahlia asked, holding the list open.

"To the wand shop first," said Dumbledore. "I'm never sure how long it takes to buy a wand..."

The two followed Dumbledore into a humble shop whose signboard seemed to be about to fall off.

"Welcome, ah, Albus, it's rare to see you leading a new student." A short old man behind the counter poked his head out after they entered the shop, and greeted Dumbledore happily.

"Good afternoon, Ollivander, this Miss Watson is going to try on her wand," said Dumbledore.

Josh pushed Tahlia forward, mouthing him: Take it easy.

Tahlia swallowed and looked up at the old man.

"Let me see, Miss Watson, who is your wand-hand?"

"...should be the right hand... I think." Tahlia replied uncertainly.

Ollivander directed a tape measure and moved Tahlia's hand around, pulling boxes from shelf to shelf. "Try this one first... poplar wood, unicorn hair, ten and a quarter inches long, springy when you move it, it might suit you..." He handed Tahlia a wand and told her to wave it as she wished Down.

Tahlia swung it into the air, and a pile of wand boxes flew out of the shelf, almost hitting Ollivander below. "I'm sorry!" Tahlia nervously put the wand back on the counter.

"...Obviously not this one..." Ollivander obviously ignored the scattered wand boxes, and took out another wand and put it in Tahlia's hand. "Try this, ebony, same unicorn hair, eleven inches long, very good at spells..."

Tahlia waved her hand again, this time the chaos was even worse, almost all the glass products in the store were shattered, Josh was trembling with fear, the destructive power was really scary.

"I don't think so," Ollivander murmured. "How about this one? Spruce, dragon's heartstring, twelve and a half inches long. Very resilient, especially for the strong." Saying this, he drew out another wand and gave it to Tahlia.

With the experience of the previous two times, Tahlia did not dare to wave casually this time. She made up her mind to minimize the damage, but the moment her hand touched the wand, time seemed to stand still, and Tahlia felt Something in her body gushed out along her arm and along the wand, and her whole body was immersed in a warm current. Tahlia waved the wand subconsciously, and suddenly a large pile of white snowflakes appeared in the store out of thin air, and slowly fell to the ground. There was light snow.

"I think that's it!" Ollivander exclaimed. "Fantastic combination, huh?" He wrapped the wand and placed it in Tahlia's arms. "You will do well, miss."

"Oh, yes, thanks." Tahlia took the wand. "how much is this?"

"Seven Galleons."

Josh immediately counted 7 gold coins from the bag in his hand and handed them to Ollivander, and the three left the wand shop.Josh felt very happy when Ollivander said that his little sister would achieve something.
