As the evening settled over Ethan's hometown, a knock echoed through the quiet streets, signaling the arrival of an unexpected visitor. With a sense of anticipation, Ethan's family hurried to answer the door, unaware of the magical encounter that awaited them.
Opening the door, Ethan's parents were greeted by an imposing figure clad in flowing robes, their features obscured by the darkness of the night. With a commanding presence, the visitor introduced themselves as a representative of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, sent to deliver a special message to the young wizard-to-be.
As the visitor spoke, Ethan's parents listened intently, their minds clouded by a subtle enchantment that masked the true nature of the encounter. With each word, they nodded in understanding, oblivious to the magic that surrounded them.
Meanwhile, Ethan watched from the shadows, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. This was the moment he had been waiting for—the confirmation of his magical abilities and the invitation to join the ranks of Hogwarts.
As the visitor concluded their message, they reached into their robes and produced a small pouch, filled with gleaming golden coins. "For your starter funds at Hogwarts," the visitor explained, handing the pouch to Ethan with a smile.
Ethan's eyes widened in astonishment as he accepted the pouch, feeling the weight of the coins in his hand. "Thank you," he said, his voice filled with gratitude and wonder.
With a smile, the visitor extended a hand, welcoming Ethan to the world of magic and offering guidance as he embarked on his journey to Hogwarts. "I'll return tomorrow to take you shopping for your Hogwarts supplies," they promised, their tone warm and reassuring.
As the visitor departed into the night, Ethan turned to his parents, who stood beside him with puzzled expressions. "What just happened?" his mother asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.
Ethan smiled reassuringly, his heart light with excitement. "Nothing to worry about, Mom," he said. "Just a friendly visitor with some exciting news. Let's talk about it over dinner, shall we?"
And as they made their way back into the warmth of their home, Ethan couldn't help but marvel at the magical adventure that lay ahead. With each passing moment, he grew more eager to step through the doors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, ready to embrace the magic that awaited him.
