Finally the day arrived, I was nervously pacing back-and-forth thinking about how I was gonna find about my family history all while Mom and Dad were watching me with amusement.

"Mia baby don't worry everything gonna be okay Professor McGonagall will be here soon" my mom told me and beckons me toward herself and Dad. When I reached near them Dad took me in his arms.
"Yup Princess, you are going to be amazing witch" he told me while both of them were smiling in encouragement at me.

Just then we heard our door-bell ringing.

Ok it's time to face music Mia........

_______________

Professor McGonagall Portkey us at The Leaky Cauldron.
She ushered us to a dingy pub, it was dark and crowded. The barkeep looked up and smiled a cooked grin and the new comers.

"Fancy a drink Professor?" He looked over Professor McGonagall.

"No Tom. I'm sorry but I am here showing Ms. Granger "Professor replied.

She pulled out the wand from her pocket and started tapping bricks. When the arch way opened, my breath was caught in my throat. It was magnificent, stalls and brightly colored shops lined the alley. People in all sorts of loud and ridiculous robes milled about the streets withe packages and animals. Mom and Dad were also staring around in wonder. Professor McGonagall ducked her head  and started leading us through the throngs of people, heading to the big marble monstrosity called 'Gringotts'.

"Here we can exchange money..... I'm sorry I wanted to stay but there is some emergency at Hogwarts which I have to attend, if you want I can send someone to take over." Professor McGonagall told us while looking aapologically over us.

'No way this is life time opportunity. I lucky now I can ask Goblins' I thought.

"No...no professor it's okay! We can manage" I told her while giving my parents pleading eyes.

"Yes Professor we will manage" Dad also replied backing me up.

She nodded and in a blink she was gone.
My parents stared open mouth. Few seconds later they look over me in eyes asking silently for the reason why I declined Professor McGonagall offer.

"Well......" my mom started tapping her feets and Dad started looking at me in expectation.

Ok! What I can say..... Think something fast Hermione.

" I wanted to know about our family history....." I told them, when they keep looking at me in confusion. I started explaining " Scientists have discovered about Gene and Inheritance. I mean there must have been someone in our family from whom I could have inherited my magic, there must have been someone who was witch and wizard in our family and maybe we can find our answer here. I don't wanted to have someone who is not part of family when we find out" I started to stare at the ground uncomfortably.

I jerked my head towards my parents when my Dad ruffled my hair.

"Ohh Princess we are glad you thought so really.. I mean I don't trust anyone at that school... Think about it Jean they want our daughter there at the age of ten. I think it's would be great if show some vigilance" Dad stated while staring at Mom who was also nodding her head.
