"Could it be possible that someone actually ate an owl?"
Dumbledore's heart trembled when he saw that McGonagall didn't smile at all, but fortunately, McGonagall quickly shook her head and denied it.
"You guessed wrong, Dumbledore. There is indeed a mistake in our Hogwarts! Just a moment ago, the Pen of Acceptance wrote another name on the Book of Admission, and that child is this year's freshman!"
After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Dumbledore heaved a sigh of relief and said nonchalantly:
"Is that so, Professor McGonagall? It's okay. There's still a long time before school starts. We can send an owl to the students now. There's still enough time. At most, we can cast a spell to speed up the owl's flight. It won't delay anything!"
As Dumbledore spoke, he seemed to feel that the iced lemon juice in his hand was not sweet enough. He took out some honey from somewhere and added it to the lemon juice. He then gestured to Professor McGonagall, asking if she wanted some more honey.
Professor McGonagall indicated that she didn't need it, staring at Dumbledore in front of her, and said meaningfully: "Dumbledore, the problem is not time, but people. You also know the elders of this child!"
Hearing this, Dumbledore smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Ha, Professor McGonagall, you know, the longer a person lives, the more people he will know. I wonder, which old friend's child is this?"
"They must have been scared because they didn't get the owl. Poor kid! I will make it up to him when he gets to Hogwarts!"
Dumbledore gently stirred the iced lemon juice in front of him and was about to put it into his mouth.
"That child's name is Wentworth, Wentworth Grindelwald!"
Dumbledore's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, his eyes blank. The glass of iced lemon juice floating in front of Professor McGonagall would have been knocked to the ground if Professor McGonagall had not been quick.
Seeing Dumbledore's disdainful look, McGonagall suddenly felt much better. She slowly raised the iced lemon juice in her hand and savored it carefully.
"Grindelwald? When did he... when did he have a child?"
Dumbledore muttered to himself in disbelief.
Hearing that Dumbledore seemed to have some misunderstanding, McGonagall quickly explained:
"No, they are the descendants of that man's younger brother, not that man! But they are all from the Grindelwald family, aren't they? If people knew that we accepted his descendants into the school, then..."
But before McGonagall could express her concerns, Dumbledore gave a firm order:
"Write a letter, Professor McGonagall. We at Hogwarts will send an admission letter to every child who is recorded, no matter who they are. This has been the case for thousands of years, and it will not change regardless of who his relatives are!"
"His family can choose to let him give up studying at Hogwarts, but we can't help but inform them!"
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay Dumbledore, I'll send the letter out via owl right away and cast a spell to speed it up. I hope to get a reply as soon as possible."
After Professor McGonagall left, the only people left in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts were Dumbledore and countless former headmasters whose names were hung on the wall.
However, the opinions of these headmaster portraits were quite consistent. They all approved of Dumbledore's decision and believed that Hogwarts would not make changes because of the students' identities and backgrounds. The traditions of Hogwarts were also the pride of Hogwarts.
At this time, Dumbledore ignored the portraits that were talking behind him and stood alone in front of the Pensieve in the headmaster's office. It was unknown what he was thinking about. After an unknown amount of time, he murmured, "Gellert, have you predicted today?"
At this time, the owl had already flown outside the window of Wentworth. The sudden appearance of the owl startled the people in the room at first, and then everyone guessed what the owl brought, and they all fell into a frenzy.
Wentworth was about to run over in ecstasy, open the window and bring the owl in, but after taking two steps, he saw his own window shattered to the ground. Then, the owl flew into the house involuntarily and was caught by Rosier.
Rozier didn't care about being elegant. He roughly pulled the letter off the owl and threw the owl away. Then he gathered with the old men behind him and read the letter carefully.
Wentworth was the only one left in the room, standing there pitifully and at a loss, not knowing what to do.
By the way, there is also an owl. It is still waiting for Wentworth's reply, but it is really scared by the dead bodies of people killed by Avada Kedavra everywhere.
The man and the bird looked at each other. The cold night wind blew in from the broken window, blowing the boy's hair and the owl's feathers. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Rozier quickly glanced through the letter, and as everyone thought, it was an admission letter from Hogwarts. However, when Rozier saw the title under Dumbledore's name, a trace of disdain appeared in Rozier's eyes.
"This admission letter is really dull and lifeless, just like Dumbledore's Hogwarts. It looks like it won't be long before Durmstrang will become the undisputed number one magic school!"
"Hey, you should know that, in fact, the best magic school in the world is called Ilvermorny!"
Ignoring the arguments of others, Rosier called Wentworth to his side and handed him the Hogwarts admission letter. Although he was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore on the letter, Rosier still said to Wentworth softly: "Take a good look, Wentworth. This represents a new world that opens the door for you. This is a day worth remembering, isn't it?"
Wentworth took the admission letter from Rozier with some trembling. In fact, Wentworth already knew the contents of the letter by heart.
But when Wentworth saw the shield emblem composed of a lion, an eagle, a snake and a flat-headed cat on the envelope, he was still so excited that he couldn't express it in words! Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Principal: Albus Dumbledore
