While Dumbledore and several deans were discussing the newcomer who was about to teach at Hogwarts, the subject of the topic had arrived in London early and was visiting a family.
"How long do you plan to stay in London this time?" Mr. Granger asked, looking at the young man across the table.
"Not sure yet, maybe seven years at most, one year at least. Thank you, aunt!" The young man shrugged, answering Mr. Granger's question while thanking Mrs. Granger for the dessert and black tea.
This young man was none other than the deputy head of the Knights of the Doctrine of the Faith, John Capet, whom Dumbledore and the others were discussing.
From his title, we can know that the Grangers are his uncle and aunt.
"Are all the people in your church so idle?" Mr. Granger was surprised when he heard John's answer.
My nephew has rarely returned to England since he joined the church nine years ago, and this time he has to stay for so long.
"Of course not. I came back to England to work, but I'm not sure how long this job will last!" John replied. He believed that Hogwarts would most likely not reject this academic exchange. But he was not sure how long this exchange would last.
After all, Hogwarts in the next few years can be said to be quite troubled.
As an "outsider", if Dumbledore didn't want him to stay at Hogwarts, he would have nothing to do.
For this, John could only pray that it would not delay him from completing his mission.
Yes, John's real purpose of going to Hogwarts was never academic exchange.
He simply wanted to complete his task... Even this so-called academic exchange event was promoted by him.
The reason why John knew that Hogwarts would be in trouble in the future was also very simple... because he was actually a time traveler.
When he first traveled to this world, John didn't actually know that this was the world of Harry Potter. He just thought that he had traveled to the parallel world of Britain.
Even though his mother's maiden name was Granger.
After all, it's not an uncommon surname in the UK.
It wasn't until the birth of his little cousin Hermione Granger twelve years ago that he felt something was wrong. (Although Hermione was in the same class as Harry, she was born in September 1979 and was older than Harry and Ron. One year older, only because he was born in the second half of the year, he was listed as an enrollment target for the following year.)
Then after he found the Dursleys in Surrey, he finally confirmed that this was the magical world of Harry Potter.
One can imagine how excited John was at that time - who hasn't had a magic dream?
But just when he was looking forward to the admission notice to Hogwarts, the golden finger who awakened first made him change his mind and finally gave up Hogwarts and chose to go to Hogwarts. The Church...especially when he learned that the Church also had its own magical heritage.
"Work? Aren't you the deputy head of the Knights of the Church's Doctrine Department? Have you been dismissed?" Upon hearing John's answer, Granger couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face.
"Dismissal? No, of course not. My position in the church will not be dismissed. In fact, when I come back this time, I am going to work in a school for academic exchange!" John explained after hearing this.
"School? Missionary school?" Granger couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his nephew had not been dismissed, and then asked.
But I didn't have too many questions about what John said about going to school for academic exchanges.
Despite the fact that Britain has lost contact with the church for hundreds of years, and the main belief is Protestantism, in fact Catholicism has always been the second largest sect in Britain, and its social influence is not much worse than that of Protestantism.
Catholic schools are located all over the UK.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense for a senior church official to work in a British church school.
But what John said next was completely unexpected to Mr. Granger.
"No, it's not a church school, it's another rather special school... In fact, if there are no accidents, Hermione will also be my student by then." After saying this, John couldn't help but have a weird look on his face.
"Ah? How did you know that we were going to enroll Hermione in Headington Middle School?" Mr. Granger was surprised when he heard John's words.
Because it was still a few months before Hermione graduated from elementary school, and their family had just decided to enroll Hermione in Headington Middle School last night, so it was so surprising to hear John say that he would become Hermione's teacher. be surprised.
The reason why Mr. Granger is so sure that the school John is talking about is Headington Middle School is because this school is a private girls' school - to some extent, it fits the "special" that John mentioned.
Facing Mr. Granger's misunderstanding, John was a little helpless, but it was completely understandable. After all, the other party was just an ordinary person who had never been in contact with the wizarding world.
"At this point, I don't think I have to hide it anymore. You will know it in a few months anyway...Uncle, Auntie, haven't you ever noticed anything unusual about Hermione in all these years?" John put down his hand. Black Tea asked.
"What's special?" Mr. Granger looked confused when he heard John's question, but Mrs. Granger beside him was thoughtful.
Mother's insight is always sharper than that of father, not to mention that Hermione is still a girl, and it is impossible to share many small secrets with her father.
"It seems that Auntie has already thought of something!" John said after seeing this.
"Yes, she once told me that she would always see things that others could not see, such as people wearing weird robes, or people flying in the sky on broomsticks, but I thought it was just a child. It's just a conjecture." Mrs. Granger said hesitantly.
"Auntie, it's normal for you to think so, but what I want to say is that the things Hermione said she saw are most likely not fantasy, but reality. Because in this world, there are such a group of ordinary people The existence of people who have mastered extraordinary power that cannot be touched...that is the wizard!" John said slowly.
"...Oh God..." Mr. Granger wanted to ask John if this was a joke, but judging from the serious look on the other person's face, it might all be true.
The next moment, the Grangers saw an extremely bright milky white light appear on their nephew's hand, and the light shone on them.
As this light touched their bodies, the Grangers felt an unprecedented warmth and relaxation.
"This is one of the simplest magics in church magic. Light magic can dispel some common negative states in people, such as fatigue and cold." John explained.
"So... you are going to teach in a magic school, and our daughter Hermione is also a wizard?" Based on John's presentation, Mr. Granger quickly connected all the information.
"Yes..." Just when John was about to continue speaking, there was a sound at the door of Mr. and Mrs. Granger's house.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" As the door opened, a little brown-haired girl in school uniform walked in from the door.
It was Hermione Granger, the daughter of the Granger family and John's cousin.
"John, you're finally back! I'm so happy to see you!" Hermione just entered the room and saw John sitting and talking with her father. She immediately cheered and threw herself into the arms of her cousin. .
The Granger family didn't have many relatives, and she was an only child, so Hermione, who lacked peers, had been close to her cousin John since she was a child.
Not to mention that every time this cousin returns to the UK, he will bring her all kinds of delicious and fun gifts, and he will also take himself out to play.
What she regretted most was that her cousin returned to the UK very rarely every year and his stay was also very short.
"Yes, dear little angel, I'm very happy to see you too!" John patted the little girl's head and said with a gentle smile. At the same time, he was thinking a lot. Who could have imagined that this little bean in front of him would have a bright future? Will he become the dignified Minister of Magic?
But now that this world has its own existence, it's hard to say whether this girl will become the Minister of Magic.
"Ding, you have a new task reminder, please check it in time!"
