The Blind Witch

Chapter 3

When we arrived at Diagon Alley, I found it hard to navigate as it was very busy, and this was only my second time here. Once we had got our robes, we went to the Leaky Cauldron, got some butterbeer, and then dad said "Someone is here to explain how your year at Hogwarts is going to work. Her name is Professor McGonagall."

"Good afternoon children, as your father has already explained, my name is Professor McGonagall and I am here to explain how you will attend Hogwarts this year. Firstly, you are only the second blind students that Hogwarts has had. The first blind student was your mother. Whatever house you are sorted into, you will be in the same house, and there may be a volunteer student to help you to your classes. Your books, timetables and exams will all be transcribed in Braille for you. The other students will all be told that any misdemeanor towards you two will result in punishment as it would for any other student."

"Professor, how will we know what we are pointing our wands at?"

" Your wands will each have a spell put on them which will speak to you and tell you what you are pointing it at for example if you were to point your wand at your father, your wand would say Remus Lupin. Are you following everything I am saying?"

"Yes professor."

"Good. Don't forget that if you ever have any questions while you are at Hogwarts, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you Professor."

"That's alright dears. Now I must be leaving as I have to sort out how to make Hogwarts so that you two can find your way around."

"Oh and Professor, one more thing, you know how you said that there might be a volunteer student to help us, what if no one volunteers?"

"Then I will show you, dears."

"Thanks Professor."

"Goodbye dears."

As you can imagine, by now I was very excited about going to Hogwarts, but I was also going to miss Dad.
