69. Chapter 68
Don de Oslanch is a quirky little girl. Some speculate that it had something to do with her biological mother, after all, Mrs. Oslanch had made headlines in Daily Prophet when she abandoned her husband and married a Muggle. There is also speculation that it has something to do with her biological father. Mr. Oslanch was an old-fashioned gentleman who prided himself on being an old nobleman, but when it came to raising children, he was so dogmatic that he could not be flattered, and living with such a father must have received very limited love.
What's more, the elder Oslanch passed away when she was eight years old. And as the only descendant of the family, the girl inherited a huge inheritance, no one can say except herself. Legend has it that it was a fortune that even elves would blush, hidden in the deepest part of Gringotts' beneath the grounds.
She could have had two options when it came to guardianship. Her aunt, Mrs. Black, and her father's close friend, Mr. Malfoy, offered to take care of her until she reached adulthood. However, the attitude of the two is very cautious. They also don't want to be left behind by the idea of coveting their relatives (friends') inheritance.
However, both Don de Oslanch refused. Her cold and detached expression, and her logical sentences, are not at all like what a child of this age should have.
She was dressed in a black dress, her delicate face was slightly haggard, but there was not much sadness, and she calmly said to the Ministry of Magic staff, "My name is Oslanch. No 'Oslanch' will allow a single speck of dust to fall from the ancestral house until the bloodline is cut off, and there will always be 'Oslanch' living here. ”
The adults, who were at least two heads taller than her, looked at each other, not knowing what to do with the situation.
In the end, it turned out that Don de Oslanch, a little girl who had just turned eight, did live alone in the old mansion, receiving occasional visits from her aunt's family. Most of the time, only she and the house-elf Dolly are left in the gloomy old castle.
Later, her aunt, Mrs. Black, hired a governess for her to teach her the history of magic and Latin. The young and conscientious governess, Mrs. Syndra, often prepared lessons in her room until the early hours of the morning because of the sheer intelligence of her students.
Late one night, Sindra was disturbed by the crow's cry and got up to close the window to find a faint candlelight in her study. She carried the lamp through the dark corridor, and the disturbed sleep of the ancestors in the paintings on either side was very dissatisfied: "Lady Sindra, now is not the time to wander. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I saw the light still on in the study......"
The great-great-great-grandfather yawned sleepy-eyed and said, "You fools, Sindra is not the first one tonight, and the little one has passed lightly just now. That kid is like a ragdoll on the carpet, if it weren't for my ears......"
"Sorry to interrupt you." Sindra was surprised, "Are you talking about Miss Oschland?" ”
Great-grandfather shrugged: "My poor little little dot sneaks into the study almost every day. Alas, children are prone to stunting if they don't sleep, and looking at her skinny appearance, she doesn't look like an 'Oslanch'. ”
Sindra was taken aback, and hurried to her study after saying goodbye to her ancestors.
"Miss Oschlanch, what are you doing?"
She stood barefoot in front of the fireplace in her nightdress, carrying an empty basket in her hand.
"Nothing, ma'am." She was as aloof, as always.
Sindra's suspicious eyes glanced around her, "It's so late, why are you still in the study?" ”
"I saw a history of hunting wizards in the Middle Ages before I went to bed, and I thought it was very interesting, and I wanted to come to the study to look up some information." She lifted the basket's bib, which contained some leftover bread scraps, "I was a little hungry, so I asked Dolly to bake the bread." ”
After explaining, the girl's face turned embarrassed, and she said stiffly, "Lady Sindra, you are only my governess, not a criminal investigator of the Ministry of Magic, please keep this in mind. ”
Sindra was speechless for a moment, frowned, and did not speak.
Soon after, Sindra left the Oslanch house, and before she left, she gazed out of the carriage at the historic castle with a great deal of confusion in her heart.
What kind of secret is the Oslanch family hiding? -
Ji Tang may be the only person in the world who knows this secret.
Because she is now Tang de Oslanch, people who are closer will call her Tang Tang, but the number is very small, only referring to her aunt's family. This includes her two cousins, Cyris Black and Regulus Black. As a long-time reader of J.K. Rowling, she couldn't help but hear these two names.
When she flipped to the Daily Prophet on the table, she suddenly realized that she was now wearing the world of Harry Potter.
But the system told her that this is a parallel world, independent of the original book, and many things will change.
She looked at the little girl in the mirror with novelty, a little like herself, but close to a Westerner's face, a slender and soft body, long blond hair, and emerald green eyes.
[The plot transmission of the eighth copy is complete, whether to confirm the receipt]
【Confirmation】-
Ji Tang saw Tang de Oslanch's memories like a marquee, including the one qiē that the girl had experienced.
A shameful mother, a rigid and indifferent father, a look of pity and mockery from the people. She spent most of her lonely childhood in the study of the old mansion, with difficult and heavy books.
She has no playmates, no friends, and the only one she can talk to at home is Billy, a house elf. And her father was always frowning and preoccupied, and he was more concerned about her etiquette and studies than her health and mood.
If she had taken the wrong spoon during her meal, or misremembered the time while reciting the history of magic, the rattan whip in his hand would fall without hesitation—"snap," without hesitating her tears of embarrassment.
In the agony of extreme loneliness, the poor girl reached for the fireplace in the study. She would rather be burned to ashes in the flames than continue to live like this.
And then -- and then what happened?
Ji Tang followed her curiously and walked through the fireplace with her.
A dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of it, and the cold wind raged among the dead trees. In front of the courtyard there is a sign with the words "Orphanage" written in gold English.
Ji Tang and the original owner were shocked together! Behind the fireplace in the study of the old house of Oslanch, there is a direct access to the Muggle world!
"Floo Powder...... No, it's not. The skinny girl's eyes widened and she muttered, "Where is this?" ”
At this time, a rather beautiful child, with short messy black jade hair, cold and cold eyes, stood in front of her with a short body, and asked her coldly in a childlike voice: "Who are you?" "He looked only five or six years old, and he was unusually thin and small from the harsh life of the orphanage, and he did not have the roundness and flesh that he should have at this age.
Ji Tang looked at his face and gasped: "Xu Jing! Although he was very young, the outline of the eyebrows was so familiar to her that she could recognize them at a glance.
Of course, this is just the memory of the original owner, and no one else will be aware of her existence.
The plot is still moving forward.
Two lonely children became friends. Although the original owner knew that he was only a Muggle, and she had been taught from an early age that Muggles were inferior to mudbloods. But she was almost killed by loneliness, and she longed so much for a playmate of her age, even if it was a Muggle.
Tang de Oslanch often brought various foods from the old house to share with "Xu Jing". Oh, by the way, in this world, his name is Jing Riddle.
Orphanage, Riddle ...... Ji Tang had some bad ideas in his mind. If she's not mistaken, Voldemort's original name was Tom Riddle.
And what happened later confirmed her conjecture - Xu Jing's magic power was out of control, and in order to test his magic power, he hanged a rabbit in the orphanage.
These are all plots from the original books, and they happened to Voldemort.
However, this is far from all. Even more surprising to her was yet to come-
When the original owner crosses the fireplace for the third time, he finds that the dead tree in the orphanage has blossomed.
Spring is coming.
But it's only been a week since she's last been here.
"I've been waiting for you day after day, for half a year." The boy said aggrievedly.
The girl was speechless.
Ji Tang couldn't help but run outside the orphanage to read the date in the newspaper - April 4, 1932.
"Thirty-two years, thirty-two years! ......"
Don de Oslanch lived in 1964, which means that behind the fireplace was not the "real" London, but a London orphanage for thirty-two years!
And the speed of time passage in the two worlds is not the same. The original owner spent an afternoon with Xu Jing in the orphanage, and when he returned home, he may find that only half an hour had passed. I only visited him two days apart, but I probably found that it had been half a month since the last time.
Only two months later, Xu Jing's height was parallel to her.
When the original owner was eight years old, Xu Jing was already eleven years old in his world. An old man named Dumbledore came to the door and offered him an admission to Hogwarts.
Yiqiē all developed according to the original plot, except for her variable-
After Ji Tang received the plot, his heart was full of exclamation points.
A love that travels through time? Time and Space Traveler?
At the end of the plot, the original owner was supposed to accompany Xu Jing to Diagon Alley to buy school uniforms and textbooks for school as agreed, but it happened that her father passed away unexpectedly on that day. Contact between the two was severed. Counting the time, Xu Jing should have gone to Hogwarts to study by now.
Will he enter the Snake Courtyard like Voldemort and open the Chamber of Secrets?
Thirty-two years have passed, and what has he become in the real world now?
Ji Tang stretched out his little short hand, pinched the baby's fat face, and thought: How old is this love? -
She snapped, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and walked through the fireplace.
It wasn't an orphanage, it wasn't a Slytherin lounge, it was ...... Dumbledore's face, slightly younger than in the films, with twinkling blue eyes, was hidden behind half-moon glasses that rested on a long hooked nose that had been broken at least twice.
"Oh, what a rarity."
He stood up from behind the desk and walked towards her.
