Chapter 4 (Catching Insects)
Gail nodded. People from orphanages have always known that even if they are adopted, they cannot be self-assured and willful, because the adopter is not their blood relatives, and it is already benevolent to give them food and the opportunity to study. And such an opportunity is not necessarily available to children who are still in the hospital.
Although Mrs. Grimm and the nuns tried hard to teach the children, their knowledge was limited and they had to give them literacy and grammar. Subjects such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, and literature appreciation are not accessible to children.
Mrs. Green's is selective for every family that comes to adopt, with a child. After the children have been adopted, they also visit the adoptive families regularly and keep in touch with the children who are willing to keep in touch. Although this will reduce the speed at which children are adopted, it will ensure that most children will have a good future.
In the eight years that Gale has been in the orphanage, it is not that no one wants to adopt Gail's child. It's just that Mrs. Green seems to have insisted on something, so she hasn't let Gail go.
Gale was certain that Mrs. Green's decision was based on good intentions. So I stayed in the orphanage with peace of mind. He enjoys living in such an environment. After all, if adopted, whether the family has no children or already has several children, it will make Gail distressed because he can't hide his specialness.
A drop of water in the desert will be spotted at a glance; But when hidden in the sea, it is difficult to find. Gail was in the middle of a group of children, though still special. But because he is wise and sensible, he will not let the nuns worry about it, but will soon divert the attention of adults from him to other children.
"Alright, go wash your hands, let's go to lunch!" Next time I'll remind Mrs. Green to have Chim write to all of you. The nun clapped her hands and said that the conversation was over.
Gail nodded meekly and went to the dining room for lunch.
Gail has recently enjoyed watching the lemongrass bush he planted at Evans' house grow. So after lunch, Gale ran to Evans' house.
Penny and Lily are there, but the two sisters are clearly angry with each other. Gail regretted a little that he came over at this time, because in the future, he would definitely be judged by the two sisters again.
Sure enough, when the girls saw Gail, they immediately shouted in unison, "Gail! You've come just in time! ”
"Well, what's going on?" Gail helplessly covered his forehead and asked the two of them.
"Gail! Listen to me first! I have a new friend! He and I ...... Well...... People who are the same as me! But Penny thinks I shouldn't be friends with each other! Lily puffed up her mouth first.
Gail let out a sigh: "Lily, how many times have I said that Penny doesn't want you to mess around with people because you're worried about your safety!" ”
"But he's the same as me!"
"The same what? The same simplicity? The same person wants to make friends with someone as soon as they meet, regardless of whether the person is a good person or a bad person? Gail asked. Listen Lily, Penny is just worried about you. She's doing a duty as an older sister! Since you don't want Penny to interfere with you all the time, don't do things that worry you, okay? ”
Gail turned to Penny again, "Don't be complacent, Penny! You also have mistakes. Why can't you trust Lily a little bit? I think Lily is a good girl, with a minimum of vigilance, and she doesn't associate with people with malicious intentions, she doesn't eat candy or cake from strangers, and she doesn't leave school or the neighborhood with strangers. ”
"Yes! Teachers have said that a beautiful girl like me should be very careful! Lily nodded, agreeing with Gail's argument.
"However, since you are not worried about Lily's new friend, it is better that every time Lily meets this person, you write down the time you want to meet, the place you are going, and the name of this friend, and set a time to go home, and leave it to Mrs. Evans. This way you can be more assured of your own safety. ”
"Penny, Lily! Did you two hear what Gale said? Mrs. Evans had been listening for a while, and could not help but interject at this point. Wherever you go in the future, you have to leave me a note! And where the note says, you can't get out of there! Did you hear that? ”
"Yes, Mom."
"Okay, Mommy!"
The difference in the personalities of Penny and Lily is especially obvious at such times.
"Alright, Gail. You don't want to clear the fence and lawn again today. Just one day, it's fine. Come inside and drink some lemonade! Of course, I also have sweet milk and grape juice here, which do you prefer? Mrs. Evans asked Gale with a smile, wondering how such a good boy was not a child of their family. If it weren't for the fact that she already had two daughters, it would be a bit difficult to bear a third child, and she would have asked her husband to adopt Gail into her own home!
"Thank you, ma'am. Lemon juice is fine. ”
"And the delicious pie, it's apple filling!" Lily, who was full of energy, ran first into the house and saw the apple pie made by Mrs. Evans.
Time passed in such a situation, and two years passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Gail has condensed his "spiritual power" into a rich air mass in the dantian. Recently, the air mass has reached its limit due to its thickness, and it is beginning to show signs of turning into liquid. What a joy it is!
"Gail! There is your letter! It's weird! "The kid who was in charge of the letter and the newspaper today put down a thick letter to Gale and left with the newspaper.
Gail had wondered how someone could write to him. But when he saw the slightly yellowed envelope and the strangely shaped fire paint on it, Gail felt a strange sense of familiarity.
When he got it in his hand and saw the words on it, Gale felt even more familiar - Mr. Gale Green in the living room on the second floor of the Green Orphanage, London, England.
On the envelope is a stamp consisting of four animals: a lion, a snake, an eagle, and a badger. Gail was a little impressed. It's something I've seen in my last life! This is the only school of magic in the UK that offers an offer!
Gail immediately picked up the letter on the table, and three minutes after opening it, Gail sat down in his chair as if he had no bones! He's a wizard! He's a wizard! Not a cultivator!
A big "slot" came to Gale's mind: in other words, in fact, he had always used magic as aura? Will he explode? There's Hogwarts! This is the world of Harry Potter!
Wait a minute! If this is the world of Harry Potter, then, Evans! Lily Evans and Penny Evans! It's a big joke!
Gail's whole person is in a state of brain jamming. This continued for several days, until this day, when the nun called Gale out during school hours, saying that a visitor had come to Mrs. Green's office.
Gail politely knocked on the people in Mrs. Green's office. After a lady's "please come in" from the door, Gail entered the house. Across from Mrs. Green's desk sat an old man, an old man who was clearly Dumbledore.
"Good morning, ma'am. Hello, sir. Gale said hello and didn't say anything more.
"As you can see, Gail is a good boy." Mrs. Green said to Dumbledore in a stern tone. After that, she turned to Gale again, "Good boy, this man is a friend of your parents. He is the principal of a school and comes to you because your parents have registered you for the school and paid the tuition fees after you were born. Now it's time for you to enroll. ”
In Mrs. Green's words, the accent is on "friends of parents" and "paid tuition". Clearly, Mrs. Green was glad that Gale had the opportunity to learn.
"Ma'am, I suppose I would like to let me speak alone with Mr. Green, if you don't mind, may?"
"Yes. Gail, take Headmaster Dumbledore to your room. Mrs. Green nodded in agreement with Dumbledore's suggestion.
Gale led Dumbledore to his room and politely opened the door, "Please come in, Headmaster." ”
"Oh, thank you, thank you! You're a good boy. ”
"Nope. I'm not a good boy. I'm just doing what I care about to the people they want. Gale didn't like the way Dumbledore looked at him.
"All right, Mr. Green." With a natural wave of his hand, Dumbledore conjured a chair out of thin air across Gale's bed and sat down calmly.
Seeing that Gale didn't have a look of surprise, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "Looks like our Mr. Green has discovered something special!" ”
"Yes, Headmaster. And I would like to attend Hogwarts. Gail nodded.
"So before I do that, I want to ask, when and how did you find out?"
"Oh, and I climbed a tree again and almost fell headfirst to my death. And then you know. However, I have a question. Is this also normal? With a wave of Gail's hand, several blue-and-white balls of cold light floated around Dumbledore, and then, when Gale waved, they turned into balls of water. Then there is a fireball, and finally a puff of flowers. Finally, Gail snapped his fingers, and all the qiē disappeared.
Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed before he applauded, "Very superb Transfiguration, very good silent wand spell!" Gail, if you trust me, tell me, how did you do that? ”――
