Chapter 3: The Boring "New Life"
Angel's Orphanage, London, England!
In the courtyard, orphans who had lost their parents played together, with the exception of one person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis beautiful little boy was lying alone on the grass and watched helplessly as his friends played.
Cheng Qiang...... No! It should be called Bruce now! Bruce Sterling, his current name, and a descendant of wizards.
After coming to this world, Bruce found himself in an orphanage, but he didn't expect that he was still a baby, and an adult's mind was stuffed into a baby's body, and anyone would collapse after a long time.
Thankfully, Bruce found a way out of boredom, and when he was 1 year old, he felt the magic in his body, and he felt relieved in addition to excitement. After all, in the world of "Harry Potter", there are also squibs like people, and now at least I don't have to worry about being a squib!
So Bruce began to tinker with the magic in his body.
Bruce is still very new to this magical power, he doesn't know how to use it at all, and in desperation, he can only choose the only way he knows - internal strength!
In martial arts novels, those martial arts masters will always let the internal force run in the body, which has achieved the effect of enhancing the internal force. Although it is not the internal force in one's body, magic should be similar to the internal force............ Right?
Regardless of whether it's true or not, at least that's what Bruce thinks. Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, and isn't it a big deal when Harry and the others first show their magic in the movie? With this in mind, Bruce began to control the magic in his body.
It was hard at first, because the magical energy was so hard to control. It's like grabbing water with your hands, but for Bruce, the most he has now is time, and babies can't do anything else, so Bruce practices controlling magic every day except eating, drinking, and sleeping.
The nurses at the orphanage were also surprised by this very well-behaved baby, who usually did not cry or make a fuss, and slept when they were sleepy, and only cried once or twice when they were hungry and thirsty or when they needed convenience. Everyone said that this kid is definitely a genius when he grows up!
And after Bruce's continuous efforts, he was finally able to control these magic powers when he was 3 years old! Although it was only "caught", it was the biggest improvement for Bruce.
Since then, he has been controlling the flow of this magic through his body. The effect was still obvious, and a year later Bruce found that his magical energy had increased, which made him very excited!
What he didn't know, though, was that magical energy and internal force were not the same. Magical energy doesn't work at all, it only stores it in the body, just like a rechargeable battery stores electricity! In other words, the more powerful the magician, the more magic stored in their bodies, such as Dumbledore and Voldemort, the magic stored in their bodies is quite powerful.
Although he didn't have a wand, Bruce tried casting spells, but he only remembered one spell - the Levitation Charm.
It is unclear whether or not Bruce had the wandless spell in the original books, but he tried it himself but it didn't work at all. But he didn't give up, but he was idle anyway, and after I don't know how many times he tried, he was finally able to get a coin to float into the air for a short time.
Bruce was excited, even though he was tired after trying it, and he knew that casting spells without a wand, while cool, didn't work at all. Because it's such a waste of physical strength and magic!
As for the original book's statement that underage wizards were not allowed to use magic in front of Muggles, Bruce didn't even bird him, and he now wished that a wizard would come to him so he could leave the orphanage.
Once the mana is depleted, it has to wait for it to recover on its own, but Bruce is fine. Other people's "batteries" want to find sockets, and he has a whole power bank for himself! I don't know if he should be surprised or frightened when he knows that he is different!
"Alas! I can't stand such boring days! Six-year-old Bruce said boredly as he lay on the grass.
There were a lot of kids here, but Bruce didn't want to hang out with them. Think of an adult playing with a bunch of kids, and he can't find the words to describe his mood except for tears.
Bruce said helplessly: "Alas! Hogwarts should be able to pass a few years earlier. It's really not good, but it's okay to go to Diagon Alley! Grace ......"
Bruce sat up suddenly, then slapped himself on the head and said, "Stupid! The entrance to Diagon Alley is at the Leaky Cauldron, and the Leaky Cauldron Bar is in London, and I'm in London now, doesn't that mean I'm in Diagon Alley! Ha ha! That's right, I can go to Diagon Alley by myself! ā
As soon as this thought came to him, Bruce could no longer suppress the urge in his heart, but he naturally did not venture out to find the Leaky Cauldron Bar. Because he didn't know where the Leaky Cauldron was located. Although he is not a Muggle who can see the Leaky Cauldron, how can he find a bar that ordinary people can't see when London is so big!
Bruce had only seen the first Harry Potter movie in his previous life, what about the books? Didn't even see half of it. As soon as he thought of this, his great radical idea was ruthlessly suppressed!
But what does the saying come about? I can't find it in iron shoes, and this cauldron bar suddenly comes!
It all started with an outing, a company that went on an outing for the children and staff of Angel's Orphanage. On the way back, Bruce leaned by the car window and looked out at the street, thinking of the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
"Alas! How to find it? What's the Leaky Cauldron Bar like? Bruce muttered, and then began to recall the appearance of the Leaky Cauldron Bar in the movie: "Located next to two stores, the black storefront, the narrow black door, the average person will ignore it and walk by...... Kindness! No way! ā
At this time, the bus stopped at a four-way intersection and waited for a red light. And Bruce recalls the appearance of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and while thinking about it, he looks out the window at the storefront, he accidentally sees a shop, and halfway through it, he finds that this black ancient cracked shop is actually the same as he described! (PS: Mainly based on the Leaky Cauldron Bar in the movie!) )
Bruce was in his spirits, and he hurriedly poked his head outside to take a closer look at the shop. Small, shabby, and dirty, people who pass by in a hurry don't even look at it. Their eyes fell only on a large bookstore on one side and a record store on the other.
If it was all a coincidence, the "weird" sign on the top of the store that read "Leaky Cauldron Bar" confirmed Bruce's guess.
"Haha! Awesome, I found it! Bruce suddenly shouted excitedly.
The children in the car were all taken aback, and they all looked at Bruce!
"Bruce!" The nurse aunt hurriedly walked over, pressed Bruce to her seat, and warned, "Bruce, sit here honestly." It's dangerous to stick your head out of the car! ā
Where would Bruce be concerned about his own safety now, his heart was now tied to that bar.
The car continued to move, and Bruce sat down in his seat and carefully wrote down the route. Finally, the rote memorization of test-taking education came in handy. Bruce clearly wrote down the route from the orphanage to the Leaky Cauldron.
After returning to the orphanage, Bruce couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and he wanted to leave the orphanage and go to the Leaky Cauldron now. But if he really does this, it is estimated that he will be arrested by those nurses and aunts who are in charge before he goes out of the gate.
"I've got to find a way to get out!" Bruce's little head kept thinking.
The night is the best time to leave, but wizards also need to sleep, and the cauldron may not be open at night. What should I do if it's easy to be spotted during the day?
After thinking about it and not coming up with a solution, Bruce almost pulled all his hair off.
"Alas! Damn it! What a hassle! Bruce said helplessly as he lay on the bed.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the calendar on the wall. April 13th, 1986!
