William was shocked to find that the existence of magic and that their were many like him maybe even more powerful.
However, he quickly schooled his features to a polite frame and asked
"Sir may I inquire that how would i be able to pay for such an extravagant school"
"No worries my boy we have it all covered, you would not be needing money for a long time"
"I can't seem to understand you sir"
"Well my boy you are the hier of a pureblood family notably a rich one"
"Sir, if you were so kind to explain what you just said are you trying to say I had a family who left me in an orphanage and now after 10 years want me back" William replied frostly
"No, my boy, your family did not abandon you. You see their was a war in the magical world.your family was one of the many victims of the war" dumbledore said sadness lacing his words, it was truly unfortunate losing such good people.
