An Unusual Wizard in Hogwarts
Chapter 2 - Invitation

Chapter 2 - Invitation

Theo stood there, frozen. That was Dumbledore, right? After what he just tought the Headmaster of Hogwarts really appeared in front of him.

In his past life, after losing his vision, in order to visualize the world around him, he had developed a really amazing skill. That was, the ability to completely and realistacilly imagine something based with only outside descriptions.

And in front of him, stood the exact image he had of Dumbledore. He really coudn't believe it.

"Hello? Altough this place is quite far from any type of civilization, I still believe you speak English, yes?" said Dumbledore, waking Theo out of his stupor.

"Huh? Oh! Yes! The Ellfire family lives here." he answered.

"Oh? So I was right. But, I'm afraid I will need directions tough. Will you guide this old man?"

"Hm? Sure. This way."

Theo gestured the old wizard to follow him. They walked for a while in complete silence. Not being able to hold himself back anymore, Theo asked.

"Sir, what brings you here anyway?"

"Well, I was planning to find a young boy named Theo Ellfire and invite him to my school."

'So I was right!!' Theo tought.

"Do you happen to know him, young man?"

Theo paused and looked at the Headmaster.

'He already knows who I am.'

"That's me, sir"

"Oh! What a pleasant surprise! Then should we have a talk, before I discuss your entry with your guardian?"

"What exactly?"

"Well, if you are Theo, then you should already know about magic, am I right?"

"Yes."

"Then, you probably heard about Hogwarts?"

Theo tought for a moment, it would be good to pry for some explanations.

"Yes. But Grandfather said that I was supposed to receive a letter for sometime already, why just now? There is only two days left for the start of the year, am I wrong?"

Dumbledore smiled, or perhaps he had been smiling all the time.

"That's correct. Normally, you should have received a letter for sometime now, but your situation led to great discussion between the staff members and therefore we took a while to reach a consensus." he paused, but then continued. "Especially considering an unprecedent worry we had to take care this year."

'The Philosopher's Stone' Theo tought.

"But, what is my situation, exactly?"

The Headmaster chuckled, before point to the side of my head, where my ear is, covered by my hair.

"Can I?" he asked.

"...Sure"

The old wizard stretched his wrinkled hand and uncovered my ear. I had purposefully grow my hair because I wanted to hide my ears. Why? Because they were different. They were pointy and slighly longer than normal.

Dumbledore's smile grew slightly.

"You, my young boy, are not human. Not entirely, at least."

Theo widened his eyes, but quickly regained his calm. This was one of his theories, but there was no way to confirm it, so it was always just a speculation. It was still shocking, to have a theory with no evidence turn out to be correct.

"What am I then?" he asked.

Dumbledore turned serious, before answering.

"I don't know."

With those words ending the conversation we kept walking. Soon, a small wooden house could be seen at the end of the paved road.

We kept walking in silence, until we reached the door.

Knocking at the door, I opened it slowly.

"Grandpa, I'm home!"

"So soon?" an old voice sounded from deep inside the house.

An old man, with short silver hair wearing purple robes walked to entrance only to stiffen.

"P-professor Dumbledore?!!"

"Mr.Ellfire, long time no see! It has been 20 years?"

"22 years, professor."

Dumbledore turned to me.

"Your father was quite the troublemaker, if not for his colossal talent and his sponsoring from powerfull wizards, I'm afraid he would've been expelled before he completed all of seven years at Hogwarts."

"I was called to the castle several times because of that boy." the grandfather added.

Gesturing to the Headmaster, the old man guided him to a nearby sofa, where he could sit.

"Tea, professor?"

"There is no need, I will be quick, I have some other matters to attend to, but I wished to resolved this one first."

"Then, for what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Well, as I was talking with your grandson, he hasn't received the normal invitation to Hogwarts due to a unusual situation he is in."

"What situation?"

"As you probably noticed, Theo here, is not human. Not fully, a hybrid you could say."

"Is there problem with that? I heard that a few years ago Beauxbatons acepted a girl who was a half-veela."

"That in itself is not the problem. You see, we don't know what the other half of Theo is, so there was quite the worry. If your grandson is hybrid between a human and a dangerous creature, then it could result in terrible accidents with the other students."

"I see."

"But that's not the only problem."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, in order for Hogwarts to send an invitation to all magical children across Britain, we have a special quill that writes down every child at the time of their birth."

"I didn't know that."

"It's normal you don't. The thing is, the quill did not only write Theo's name, but wrote a strange note with it."

"A note?"

"An anotation, you might say. There it said, and I quote, 'This boy is a squib, but accept him.'"

""?!""

'A squib?!'

"There must be a mistake surely, Theo has performed magic well above his peers, I have seen it!"

"I believe you, however, Theo is a squib, as far as his human half is concerned."

"You mean ..."

"Yes, Theo uses magic the same way House-elfs do."

"Then, how should we procede?"

"Well, Theo will study at Hogwarts, because as far my information goes, he might be capable of performing the same spells as everybody eles."

"Really?"

"Yes, here"

The Headmaster, handed an envelope.

"This is the list of materials needed and the ticket. I believe you already know to handle a new student of Hogwarts?"

"Yes, professor. He will be ready in time."

"Good!"

The Headmaster clapped his hands happily, before tuning to me.

"I will be waiting for you in Hogwarts, you posses a great power, it is only right that you use it properly."

'With Great Power comes Great Responsability, huh? A classic.'

"I won't disappoint you, sir." Theo answered.

"No need to feel pressured, just tought that those would be wise words to follow."

"Indeed."

The Headmaster stood up and headed for the exit. Once he was outside, a loud clap was heard and the old wizard disapeared.

'I'm going to study in f*cking Hogwarts!!'

Theo clasp his hands in joy.
