Magic Is Real

Magic is very real, and never let anyone tell you any different. Sometimes the work of wizards can be seen by the muggle world, in those rare instances we are left just wondering if there aren’t some outside forces helping us muggles out. 18 months ago a mysterious plaque appeared outside of Bristol’s children hospital. The plaque reads

““Dedicated To The Children Of Bristol The 1998 World Cup Posts Enchanted By Adou Sosseh (which of course we all knew was the captain of Senegal’s Quidditch team that of course lost the 1998 World Cup to Malawi).”

The hospital was completely unaware that someone had placed the plaque there, so the quest began to find out who had done it. After a little research the BBC has uncovered who was behind the plaque. They dug up a tweet by a 27-year-old Bristol graduate by the name of Cormac Seachoy, who lost his battle with cancer last year.

So..This plaque popped up last night outside the Bristol children’s hospital! #quidditch #bristol #xmaaaass pic.twitter.com/OaMVWYh6vO

The goal posts were actually apart of an art sculpture called The Lollypop Be-Bop, which is actually an interactive art installation that is remote controlled by the children to change its colored lights on command, sort of like magic. The magic that Cormac used was not produced by a wand or a potion, but with the thing that Dumbledore always preached to us it was love. Cormac had so much love in him that he could rival our beloved Harry Potter. Cormac Seachoy was not looking for sympathy or fame for this, beside his tweet he did not publicly talk about it, 

““He just wanted to do something that would make people smile on their way in and out of the hospital.””

If that’s not magic, I’m not really sure what magic is. Magic also happened when his GoFundMe raised the money for this plaque. He needed the help of others to get this bit of magic done. His friend who suggested GoFundMe can be thought of as Hermione, there with the perfect solution to his problem. If that is true, then his friend James Carberry is his Ron. When James got there to assist his good friend Cormac they had brought all the supplies…. Or so they thought. They did bring the industrial strength adhesive but, not a means to open it. This is where Ron, I mean James, had to go to a nearby pub and barrow a pair of scissors

““I’ll never forget the look on the barman’s face as I asked him for the scissors, but he reluctantly agreed and we were able to put the plaque up.””

This form of magic is so powerful it reached the curator of magic J.K. Rowling to which she tweeted.

One of the most beautiful Potter-related things ever. I’m not crying. YOU’RE crying. #CormacSeachoy https://t.co/lmz9k4QaPL — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 9, 2016

Again magic is real. It is all around us and it is of course happening in our own hearts. Dumbledore would be proud that love is still undeniably the most powerful force in magic.

And the Hospital would also like all future magical residence to please let the “Muggles” at the hospital say thank you first.
