McGonagall's Visit
Dear Mr. Dracula,We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipments. Term begins on September 1. We will await your owl no later than July 31.
Yours Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Vlad had finished reading the letter out loud. Was this some kind of joke? Out of all people he most certainly couldn't be a wizard! Besides he's a vampire he doesn't need a stick to perform magic and it doesn't sound like the place for him.
"Maybe they made a mistake." Zoltan offered looking at Vlad who was frantically rereading the letter.
"Or maybe," Vlad said "It's another vampire or slayer trying to lure us out of hiding." Even when he said it out loud it sounded far fetched. The address was so exact that if they wanted to attack they would have done it by now.
"It would seem as though you missed a paper." Zoltan said interrupting Vladimir's thoughts. Vlad went over to the envelope and saw another letter.
Dear Mr. Dracula,
We are sorry for the delay on your letter. All wizards typically receive acceptance letter at the age of 11 years. This may be on account of you just moving to England or could be because of your muggle descent we did not detect you. We will be sending a representative to your house at eight o'clock sharp June 18.
Our Sincere Apologies
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Vlad looked up at the time. It was 7:58! Two minutes before eight. So much for going to school on the last day. Vlad wasted no time and rushed out of his room. He walked down stairs and into the throne room. His dad was sitting at the throne when he walked in with Reinfield (who still had a mind wipe) was introducing breakfast.
"Oh Vladdy my boy," He started but Vlad interrupted him.
"Dad I've been accepted to a wizarding school and they are sending a representative over in," Vlad looked at the clock as he spoke. "One minute and I don't think they know that we are vampires so don't tell them-" Vlad was winded after talking so fast and he looked up at his dad. The count eyes were huge and so was the look of shock on his face.
"Did you say you were accepted to-" He started
"A wizarding school, yes'' Vlad was talking at warp speed "And they are sending a representative over now! And don't you dare tell them we are vampires!" The Count was astonished. His son his little Vladdy was accepted by wizards none the less and wizards do have tasty blood. The count licked his lips just think of smooth... warm… red… magic… blood...
"That's wonderful Vladdy! We shall feast on this representative!" He said still picturing the perfect blood.
"No!" Vlad screamed "I don't want them to know that we are vampires and 'feasting' on the representative will not help matter!''
"You're no fun. Besided you never had blood. How do you know you don't like it if you have never tried it?"
"Because it's wrong!" Vlad said flatly. "They'll be here any minute so-" He was interrupted by the door bell. Vlad looked up at the clock it was 8 on the dot. "That'll be them." he walked over to the front door and opened it. A woman was standing there. She was wearing a long cloak and a pointed hat. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she had soft green eyes behind square spectacles. Vlad immediately knew she was one not to cross.
"Good day," She said with a accent that Vlad soon placed as scottish. "I am professor McGonagall. I'll be your transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. You must be-" She paused
"I'm Vlad"
"Yes and where is your mother and father? I would like to speech to them."
" My mum and dad are divorced, it's just my dad." Vlad said with the professor looking down on him with a light smile but a look of slight annoyance in her eye.
"Well I would like to speek to him if you don't mind." Vlad nodded and led the way to his dad who was still draped over his throne. He quickly sat up as Vlad and Professor McGonagall entered the room.
"Ah," She said as she saw Count Dracula. "You must be Mr. Dracula." She walked up to him and held out her hand. "I am Minerva McGonagall deputy headmistress of Hogwarts." She said the last bit with pride in her voice.
"Yes," Count sneered as he shooed away her hand. She looked infuriated at him. "I see. I am Cou- I mean Mr. Dracula.'' Vlad was shooting him looks making sure he didn't mess up.
The professor was explaining to him about Hogwarts and what they teach and I don't want to bore you with the details of the conversation. She apologizes several times for not having Vlad's letter 3 years ago and how his name just showed up on the list suddenly.
"Well we just moved here." The count said. The whole time eyeing her neck like a juicy steak. Imaging all the warm blood, flowing through the old witches veins.
"Dad!" Vlad shouted and the count was snapped back into something we like to call reality. The count took a step back and Professor McGonagall continued.
"As I was saying we need to catch Vlad up over the summer with the proper grade. Unless of course you want to start him with first years, but I know he'll feel out of place learning with the 11 year olds. I think he can learn up to 3rd years and then he'll only be a grade behind."
"No son and heir of mine will be a grade behind!" The Count shouted. "I will hire a tutor for him. A trust worthy vam-" Vlad shot him a look. "Wizard tutor." He snarled at Vlad.
Professor gave them the books they needed and a card with the number for a tutor she thought would suitable. Also before departing she told them how to get to diagon alley to get his 4th year books, robes, and something he'll need to study. A wand.
