Chapter 13
[POV – Ethan]
After Professor McGonagall left, my parents and I started talking about plans for the next day's shopping. We also sat down and briefly explained to Celestia about magic, but in a simple way since she's only 3 years old, and we also didn't forget to let her know that she shouldn't tell anyone about magic.
The rest of the day went by normally, and in the end we all went to bed to be rested for the next day.
____________________________________________
The next day, we were all ready, waiting for Professor McGonagall to arrive. And by my senses, which are now activated, it must be... Now.
*Ding! Dong!*
"Must be Mrs McGonagall who has arrived" My mom said as she went to answer the door.
"Good morning Mrs. Night, I'm here to accompany you shopping in the wizarding world, as arranged. Are you ready?" Professor McGonagall spoke as soon as my mother opened the door.
"Good morning to you too Ms. McGonagall, we were just waiting for you" was my mother's reply. And with that the rest of my family left the house, with me walking ahead and my dad carrying Cele in his arms right behind me.
"Good morning Professor Minnie!" I boldly greeted Professor McGonagall with a big smile on my face as soon as I saw her.
"Good morning to you too Ethan" Professor McGonagall said with a small smile, before being replaced by a stern look, "But remember that in formal situations and at school you must call me Professor McGonagall, ok?" , she reminded me.
"Yes, Professor McGonagall!" I answered her while saluting. And my parents, who were watching our interaction, rolled their eyes at me.
"Who is she, daddy?" then we hear a cute voice say.
"And could I know who this beautiful little girl is?" Professor McGonagall asked, seeing my sister for the first time.
"Ah yes! Cele, this is Ethan's new school teacher we told you about, and Mrs. McGonagall, this is Celestia, our little daughter and Ethan's sister of 3-years-old" my father then replied, introducing each other.
"Oh! Nice to meet you little one!" Professor McGonagall told Cele smiling.
"Hihihi, you are like the older brother said." my sister replied laughing, making me stop in nervousness.
"Un, and what did your brother say about me?" Professor McGonagall asked Cele as she gave me a sideways look that I pretended not to see.
"He said you were kind and nice!" Cele replied, to my relief.
"Oh, so he said that?" Professor McGonagall said as she let a small smile break across her face. But that smile faded when I heard my sister's next sentence...
"Yea! And he also told me to call you Minnie every time I see you!" my little sister said innocently as she opened her little arms happily.
'Traitor!' I exclaimed in my mind, noticing Professor McGonagall's gaze on me.
"Cough! Cough! Hehe, these kids nowadays invent everything... don't they, teacher?" I commented as I looked away innocently, feeling the cold sweat trickle down my back.
"Yes..." Professor McGonagall replied slowly, giving me a look that said she obviously didn't believe me.
"Well, no more stalling and let's get going!" my dad said, changing the subject and bringing our attention to the fact that we still needed to go buy my supplies.
"Yes, indeed we need to get going," Professor McGonagall said. And then she started walking with us following close behind.
After walking for a while my dad asked, "Well then how are we going to get into the wizarding world? Did we order a taxi?"
"No, Mr. Night, we're going in a wizard way," Professor McGonagall said cryptically as she pulled her wand out of her robes. She then looked around us, and after confirming that there was no one else in the vicinity she raised her wand, and not a second later did something happen.
*BOOOM!*
Almost as soon as Professor McGonagall raised her wand we heard a loud bang, and suddenly a purple three-decker bus appeared in front of us.
"This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Knight Bus, one of the wizarding means of transport. And remember Ethan, to call him just raise your arm or your wand high and he will appear immediately!" Professor McGonagall explained to us.
*Squeak!* As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the bus doors opened, and the first person to appear was Stan Shunpike, the driver.
"Ah! Professor McGonagall! To what do I owe the honor?" Stan said respectfully as soon as he saw the person who called the Knight Bus.
"I'm here to accompany this family shopping and we're in a hurry, so if you could get ahead of yourself…" Professor McGonagall told Stan.
"Oh yes of course! So where do you want to go?" Stan then asked us.
"Across from Charing Cross Road, at Leaky Cauldron!" replied Professor McGonagall, wanting nothing more than to end this conversation.
"Okay, that's going to be a total of 11 Sickles per person!" Stan said.
Then Professor McGonagall took out a small pouch that was hidden in her robe, and from that pouch she took out three gold coins and 4 silver coins and handed it to Stan, who started counting.
"Here it is," she said as she boarded the bus, and we soon climbed in behind her.
When we were finished settling into the Knight Bus Professor McGonagall told us, "I suggest you guys hold on tight, the trip might be a bit turbulent..."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean turbule—" My mom started to speak, but was interrupted by Stan.
"You heard Ernie! Charing Cross Road, Leaky Cauldron!" Stan told the driver, an elderly man who didn't give me much confidence to think of him driving, it looked like she couldn't even walk down the street without bumping into something, even if it was an empty street.
"Yeah, let's go Ernie!" Another voice said, and when I looked for the owner of that voice I saw that it came from a severed mini-head, much like the ones used in voodoo rituals.
My mother also saw the severed head, but before she had a chance to say anything Ernie started the engine and started it...
*BOOOM!*
"AHHHHHHH ..."
End.
