Chapter 1: Reunion

One summer vacation, enough for a lot of things to happen.

That's not to mention a year.

On the first day of July, when he shaved in front of the mirror, Lyle still felt that the experience of the year could only be described as "surprise".

If you write a novel, it will definitely sell well......

It's weird.

But life is far more exciting than novels, and Lyle believes this from the bottom of his heart.

He was almost busy at the table, he sat down at the table, biting on a sandwich, stirring the sticky oatmeal, habitually unfolding the newspaper, and a not-so-conspicuous piece of news on it attracted his attention—

Huang Jiaju, a musical genius and the leader of the world-famous rock band Beyond, lead singer and guitarist, unfortunately passed away yesterday at the age of 31 at the Affiliated Hospital of Tokyo Women's Medical University in Japan.

"1993...... July ...... 1st ......"

Lyle re-read the time on the newspaper, and there was no turmoil in his heart, he had witnessed a lot of things like this, and he was gradually getting used to it.

You know, last Christmas, he was in Moscow, standing at the window of the hotel, watching the red flag fall from the Kremlin with a telescope, and as a citizen of an old capitalist country, a former imperialist and colonial power, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

It's a shame.

Shaking his head a little amusedly, Lyle put down the newspaper, picked up his backpack, hummed the pentatonic version of "The Glory Days", and began the next leg of his journey.

It's dangerous, it's difficult, it's hard, but he's going to live well and do everything he can to survive, because there's still a lot of things for him to witness.

In another week, a cargo ship will depart from the port of Tianjin in distant China......

In September, Australia's Sydney bid for the Olympic Games was successful......

In October, the prototype of a well-known American blockbuster will take place in Somalia......

In November, the European Union was officially established......

In December, the centenary of the birth of a great man......

1994......

...... 1995

1996......

It's just the beginning.

The world is so big, I want to see it.

--------------------

Neville's summer vacation has just begun.

The world is so big, he also wants to see it.

So, he also carried a backpack and went out like this.

In a month's time, Neville would be thirteenth birthday, and he only needed to be back by that day—Mrs. Longbottom's stocking policy was getting more and more relaxed.

Or rather, she no longer sees Neville as a child.

Carrying a five-cube magic bag and a rolling pin-like wand in his hand, Neville began his summer vacation after saying goodbye to his family.

Compared with last year, he is much calmer this year, which is the result of the dual effect of experience and reasonable planning.

Neville's first destination was London, where he planned to visit his teacher first, after all, he hadn't seen him for quite some time, and he didn't know how he was doing.

According to the plan, he planned to stay there for a week or so before moving on to his next destination, Ron's home, the Burrow in the village of Ottery St. Cachpole.

Finally, go to Luna's ......

"Hey......"

Neville looked hesitantly at the middle-aged man in sunglasses in the last row of the bus, and finally called out softly, "Teacher?"

The middle-aged man was staring intently at a map with his head down, but when he heard Neville's voice, he looked up, and it could be seen that he was obviously flustered, and then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said in an inexplicable tone: "Hehe, it's Neville, it's really a coincidence." ”

Uncle you!

Lyle flipped the coffee table in his heart, and a feeling of pain in the egg spontaneously appeared, he was the one who was going to do great things, and he couldn't be known by anyone other than Dumbledore, so he had deliberately avoided contact with people in the wizarding world before, just to not attract attention.

It's a good thing now, I've just left the house, and I haven't even left London, when I bump into Neville Longbottom, who is already well-known in certain circles in the wizarding world.

Maybe at this time, there will be a wizard staring at this side with a crystal ball or something.

As soon as he thought about this, Lyle's heart panicked, he was not ready to be exposed so early, especially when there was still a lot of work to be done.

Calm!

Be sure to calm down!

Neville didn't notice the changes in Lyle's mental activity and expression, he only had the surprise of an unexpected reunion in his heart at this time, and he rushed in front of Lyle in just a few steps, and the strong wind even blew the map in the latter's hand away.

"I was about to go to you, teacher. Neville said excitedly.

"yes, you're in luck, if I'm a little late, I'll be out of the house......" Lyle tucked the map into his pocket a little embarrassed, then got up and hugged Neville.

"Click~"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lyle always felt like he heard a crunch sound, as if the potato chips had been broken. He subconsciously rubbed his waist and found that it was intact, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that some psychological shadows are hopeless.

"It's been more than two years, ......"

Lyle couldn't help but sigh with emotion, looking at Neville, who was only a head shorter than him, sturdy like a boxer, and had a sunny smile in front of him, he really couldn't connect with the shy little fat man he saw for the first time.

That's the difference I make.

The corners of Lyle's mouth curled slightly, and it was impossible to say that he was not a little complacent and proud in his heart, because no one knew better than him what he had changed.

It is said that acquaintances who have not seen each other for a long time will always have endless things to say, but this does not apply here, because Neville is not a good talker, and Lyle is clearly on his mind.

And just like that, it took about ten minutes for both of them to learn something about each other.

Lyle was going to the train station, and he had planned to go to some orphanage out of town, but now, he had changed his mind.

"Not enough control?"

Lyle had a familiar smile on Neville's face, not much, but it impressed him every time, like the training program he's stuck to this day.

"Lack of pocket money?"

The smile on Lyle's face grew brighter and more intriguing, and after receiving Neville's affirmative answer, he pulled out a notebook from his bag, which he opened to reveal a scrapbook made up entirely of scraps of paper cut from the newspaper.

Flipping through his hand, Lyle pointed to the news on it and said to Neville, "Are you interested in this?"

Neville glanced at it, and it read: "Alex Ferguson led Manchester United to win the first season of the Premier League!"

"Football?"

He visibly froze that wizards mostly played ball games like Quidditch, and he didn't know Muggles had such a sport until he met Justin, who, by the way, was backing West Ham United.

Neville's hometown team is Leeds United.

"The origin of modern football is England, and it is a sport that has taken the world by storm......"

After a brief introduction to football, Lyle pulled out the map again, then pointed to a place name on it and said to Neville, "We can go here, sign a contract, get a sum of money, and exercise your control along the way." ”

"Manchester?"
