[ Chapter I (1): "FELIX HARP, A WIZARD?" ]
[ ——— ] [ ——— ] [ ——— ] [ ——— ]
THE SURROUNDINGS OF THE YOUNG BOY BECAME HAZY; with the words of the mysterious stern-looking woman dressed in weird clothing rings through his ear, like an echo, one which he doesn't believe in.
[ "N-no, wait. Magic exists?" ] Felix Harp, the said young boy's emerald colored eyes shifting from one person to another; to his mother-figure, the matron, and to the tea sipping guest, a Witch. And that isn't an insult, well, in the eyes of Felix, hope she doesn't take offense when he calls her one.
The said Witch watches in silent amusement, one shown through her green piercing eyes, the eyes of her's and Felix practically being the same except for the wisdom, and maturity which the Witch conveys with her's, more darker in colored as compared to the light colored which the young boy has.
But that doesn't matter, what matters is that the woman didn't rush, she watches in the corner of her eyes as Felix looks around in confusion; before finally staring into the wooden floor beneath him, lost in thoughts. Thankfully not hyperventilating, unlike the other children she had visited.
She felt a nudge at her side, one which caused her to stop sipping her tea, as she instead looks at the wrinkled face of her close friend — at the Matron who kept giving her the nudge, nudge, silently telling her through her eyes to get to the point.
So in response the dark haired Witch looked back at the young boy lost in thought. A weird sight for sure, usually the Muggle Born Wizards she visits either jumps in joy from hearing the news that Magic exists, or just straight up don't believe her. So why is this one, just lost in thoughts?
[ "Yes, Mr. Harp, Magic does exist," ] McGonagall sights, not wanting to know why, not wanting to know how, as she places the tea cup of her's to the side, at the newly transfigured wooden table weirdly out of place in the middle of the room, [ "and you are a Wizard." ]
[ "Wha- but I, I can't be... Am I?" ] He looks at his hands seemingly in shock, and in amazement, trying to mimic the gesture that McGonagall did to turn the vase of theirs into a wooden table; one with different materials, with different size, and overall different functions. He turns and then looks at the other vase of the room, wanting to do the same as well. [ "Can I?" ]
[ "No, sadly you can't, not yet at the very least." ] McGonagall who's dressed in heavy Witch clothing stood up, her hands placed in front of her as she walks to where Felix is sitting at; standing in front of him she smiled. She pulled the air, and as so Magic happened, and in front of the amazed eyes of Felix, and the calm looking Matron a Letter appeared.
This said Letter being yellowish, detailed, and with a different aura than what a normal letter should have. No, this felt different in the eyes of Felix. He watches closely as the said Letter comes down and handed to him, which caused him to outstretch his hand, [ "What's... this?" ] He turns the Letter and noticed a reddish wax stamped with a figure of a Lion, a Snake, a Badger, and a... Raven?
[ This feels... familiar. ] Felix holds onto the letter, his thumb massaging the Letter as he tries to remember where he has seen it before, before finally it hit him; wasn't this the same said Letter that was burnt because he touched it, wasn't even able to read it, it just burned for some unknown reasons. Unless his excitement did it, then, none did.
[ "Hogwarts Letter. All First Year's receive one at least two months before the Semester starts." ] The seasoned Witch and Professor of the most prestigious School of Magic in Wizarding Britain explained, watching closely the reaction of the child in front of her.
[ "Co-combastible too, y-yeah." ] Felix chuckles to himself as he admires the Letter of his, he looks at it then at Professor McGonagall as if asking for permission; the excitement of his not being hidden to her, or even to the eyes of the Matron. [ "It's yours." ]
In hearing that the 11 year old boy; not a transmigrator, not a reincarnator, nor a system user, the boy was a normal 11 year old kid who first officially opened his Letter. Hogwarts Letter, and for someone who lived his life daydreaming, imagining the unknown, this is a legendary moment for the young Muggle raised boy — the wax being split in the middle as his orange colored eyes shine in excitement.
Shaky breaths, palms sweating, he pulled out a paper from the said Letter; while the other paper which he didn't notice fell on the floor. He was about to crouch down to grab it when he did, but it mystically floated into his palm in a quick motion, leaving him in a half-crouched awkward position. He could only look in amazement at the paper, then at Professor McGonagall, then at the paper again before reading its contents.

[ Minerva McGonagall ]
[ Deputy Headmistress ]
The boy's orange eyes reads all the words written affluently and elegantly in dark ink, cursived, all in rapid succession; sitting down onto the sofa he was sitting on before mid-way the act. The words being understandable to him, thankfully, except for the word Mugwump — he doesn't know what that means, but his shock weighs more than his curiosity as he places the paper down in amazement. [ "I-I'm really a Wizard." ]

[ Fun Fact (Pottermore-Lore): "Purebloods, Half-bloods, and Young Wizards who have Family Members who knows of the Wizarding World receives their Hogwarts Admittance Letter through Owls — Harry Potter was such a case, the Dursley knows of Magic, at the very least Vernon and Petunia does. Muggleborn Wizards on the other hand receives their Letters thru the Faculty Members like Minerva McGonagall; the Transfiguration Professor, Head of House for Gryffindor, and Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, or Rubeus Hagrid the Key and Groundskeeper of Hogwarts — I wonder, do the History of Magic Ghost Professor Binns do those too, how about Flitwick the Charm's Professor, and also the Head of House for Ravenclaw... How about the coo-coo drunkyard Divinition Professor Trelawney?" ]
