Chapter 2 Unexpected Letters and Unexpected News

On July 16, 1991, in an orphanage in London's West End, a red-haired girl sat on her bed, staring at the calendar on the wall in a daze...

"In half a month, Aunt Yelena will come again... I'm looking forward to what good things she'll bring to me. www.biquge.info it would have been better if she hadn't come with that cold Uncle Snape... Why do they only tell me a little bit about my mother at a time? ”

"Holly Parker... Your letter, and if you're done with your homework, it's time for you to tutor the kids who are just starting elementary school. ”

"Got it, I'll go down right away..."

The letter was heavy, seemingly made of parchment, without a zip code, and was turned on a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a capital "H." The address on the front is the *** orphanage in the West End of London, received by Miss Holly. There is no surname.

When you open it, the contents inside are:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore. (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizards Association, First Class Magician of the Order of Sir Merlin)

Dear Miss Holly,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of the required books and equipment.

Semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will wait for your owl to hear back from you by July 31.

Vice-Principal (Female)

Minerva McGonagall respectfully

"It's strange, why is my last name always blank, is it a secret or something else?" "What kind of school is Hogwarts, anyway, since we can reply on July 31, let's wait for Aunt Elena and Uncle Snape to come and ask for their opinions." ”

After reading the first page, Holly glanced at the second page:

Hogwacher School of Mages: Uniform: First-year students will need: 1. Three simple plain vestments (black), 2. a plain pointed hat (black) to wear during the day, 3) a pair of security gloves, and 4. a winter cloak (black with silver lacing).

Students can also bring an owl, a cat or a toad.

Parents must note that first-year freshmen are not allowed to have their own broomsticks.

Seeing this, Holly was a little dizzy, he hadn't heard of books, let alone things he hadn't heard. Although she knew that she was different from ordinary children and that many wonderful things could happen around her, she still hoped that she was not too special, at least not too out of place with her surroundings like Yelena and Snape. (There are some problems with the reference)

Time flies, but she can't be happy, she tries to contact Elena with that magical mirror several times but gets no response, and Snape, the hell, knows how to contact him.

Day after day passed, and at last it was the night of July 30, the annual sleepless night, and the only white dress he wore to go out, and Holly had a dream again. In the dream, a woman told her in her own voice: "My daughter, no matter what happens, you must live and not give up any hope." Only this time, there was one more sentence at the end, "I know it's unfair to you, you may have a harder life, but you will live a freer life than your brother." ”

It was dawn, at 10 a.m., and Holly finally looked forward to his visitor, only this time, there was only one person—the owner of the black robe that had not changed for ten thousand years. Only this time, his attitude is a little different from the past...

"Holly, it's time for you to receive the letter. ”

"Yes, I was going to ask you what to do with that letter, but I couldn't get in touch with Aunt Elena. ”

"She did an experiment and exploded and died..."

"Ahh

"Well, you haven't replied yet, have you? Come with me, I was supposed to inform you of these things and talk to your guardian by the way, but since your guardian is only me now, this step can also be omitted. Let's go, grab my arm, and go Diagon Alley. ”

"Diagon Alley?" Holly asked as she grabbed Snape's arm. Immediately, she noticed that it was pitch black. He was squeezed from all directions, and he couldn't breathe at all, and his chest seemed to be tightly strangled by several iron hoops. The eyeballs were squeezed back into the head, the eardrums were pressed deep into the skull, and then, suddenly, two people, black and white, appeared on the Charing Crossway, without the slightest concern from the passers-by, as if they didn't exist at all... When the two of them reached a wall, Holly found that the wall had changed into a narrow porch, with the words "Broken Cauldron" crudely scrawled on the signboard.

Pushing open the door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, a burst of alcohol greeted him, making Holly feel unwell. The dark environment inside also made it difficult for Heli to see the inside for a short time.

"Welcome back to the wizarding world. The deep voice behind him soothed Holly's tense body. Then I was a little apprehensive. Back to Holly, she understood the meaning of the word, but for as long as she could remember, she had not had the slightest impression of this so-called wizarding world. It's a strange and familiar world.

"Hurry up. The cold words made Holly return from his thoughts to reality, and he gave up the idea of asking more questions about the wizarding world and his own background. As she walked through the Leaky Cauldron, she heard a lot of people talking about a name called "Harry Potter", a man who seemed to be famous, as if he had just passed by.

"Uncle Snape, who is Harry Potter? Why do I feel so familiar with the name, and I have a strange indescribable feeling. ”
