Chapter 1: London in the Mist
London, United Kingdom.
Six o'clock in the morning.
In a clean, tidy and odorless room, the clock had just struck six o'clock, and Louie, who had woken up from a nightmare, was in a bad mood.
He walked to the window with an irritable expression, originally wanting the bright morning sun to wash the darkness in his heart, but he didn't want to open the curtain to see a gray sky.
"The weather in London... It's as bad as the food in the UK! ”
Muttering to himself, Louis came to his desk and hesitated for a moment, and then put the books marked with Chinese annotations such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" with traces of flipping into the drawer, and re-examined the mathematics, physics, chemistry and other homework completed yesterday.
Louis.
Originally, it was a Chinese name, surnamed Lu, and the name was Yi.
Today, Louis is no longer the name of the eleven-year-old, just his name.
He was reborn after his death, his full name was Louis Rogers, and he was a handsome white man with broken blond hair.
Before the rebirth, it was in the era of online literature, and as the notorious "reasonable party", Louis didn't understand why most of the predecessors who crossed over and were reborn had to be set as orphans.
Later Louie understood.
Orphans are for the sake of being carefree and not having any nostalgia for the original world.
If possible, Louis is also willing to return to the original world to fulfill his filial piety for his parents without hurting his parents in this life, and personally accompany his son in every journey of growth.
Even if...
It's the same with still dragging the body that is tormented by cancer cells.
That's right.
Louis died of lung cancer before he was reborn.
As a member of a well-off family, any member of the family is willing to smash the pot and sell iron, and spend a lot of money to extend his life even if it is only a few months.
Everyone wants to live, even if it is like a lingering life, and Louie, who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, also has a desire for life.
But Louie was a more sensible person.
Cancer, or any incurable terminal disease, is fatal... It's not a disease.
Rather than curing the disease, or more precisely, putting the whole family in debt for the sake of life, Louis wanted to accompany his family with a smile and complete the last journey of his life.
Finally, lie on a soft and comfortable bed, not in a hospital room filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant water, and slowly close your eyes...
The end of Louis' life in China.
It was as if they had been "sleeping" for a few months, and when Louis reopened his eyes and could see things around him clearly, the Rogers family, who lived in London, England, were extremely happy to welcome a new member of their family.
Louis Rogers.
………………
The time on the clock slowly moved towards eight o'clock.
Louis rubbed his shoulders, which had been sitting for a long time and were slightly stiff, and when he walked out of the door, he happened to meet Jason Rogers, who was reading the morning newspaper and drinking hot milk, and smiled:
"Good morning, Dad!"
"Uh-huh... Good morning, Louie from Eton! ”
Rolling up the morning newspaper and putting it casually into a wide nightgown, Jason stepped forward with a smile on his face, rubbed the neat blonde hair on the top of Louie's head, and said with a smile:
"Louie, nervous? Today could be the day of your Letter of Intake. ”
"Not nervous."
Louis smiled and replied, "If the professors at Windsor Palace were as wise as you, I think they would be willing to give me a chance to go to Eton, wouldn't they?" ”
"I want to... You're right! ”
Jason, who has a personality like a big boy at home, first pretended to be serious, muttered like an old pedant for a moment, then nodded, and then winked mischievously at Louie, and continued to laugh:
"Alright, Louie, go see Sophia in the kitchen preparing breakfast for you, she looks much more nervous than you are."
"Yes! Sir! ”
Presentably gave a standard military salute to Jason, and watched Jason pretend to be serious again, turning into the appearance of Marshal Rogers and pacing away calmly, Louis hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart:
"It's dangerous..."
I almost uttered the slogan "Hey, Heidler"! ”
Looking at Jason's departing back with palpitations, after Louis turned the corner and went downstairs, he saw the busy figure in the kitchen at a glance, and his face once again raised that faint smile.
Every time he thought about the experience of being born again, Louis felt fortunate to be born again into a middle-class family in England.
It's not that Louis is greedy for pleasure and doesn't want to work hard, but that the various classes in England have gradually become fixed under the influence of the criticizing way of education.
Reborn once, since he was three years old because of an accident awakened his extraordinary abilities, Louie, who is still indulging in the pain of losing his family in his previous life, suddenly has the desire to survive in the new world.
He wanted to be a doctor.
A doctor who is truly capable of overcoming all terminal diseases!
However, not to mention what kind of knowledge is needed to overcome terminal diseases such as cancer, the first prerequisite for becoming a good doctor is to be able to be admitted to the medical school of a famous university for further study.
But let's take a look at the so-called "happy" education in Europe and the United States.
Louie thinks it's a dog SHI!
Knowledge may not determine a person's upper limit, but it can determine a person's lower limit.
Before his rebirth, although Louis hated the so-called life-determining high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, after experiencing the "happy" education in Europe and the United States, he suddenly found that he was extremely eager for knowledge and could not master the knowledge he wanted to learn in school.
Because in the vast majority of schools in the UK, the teacher will not ask you if you have the question you can't do, what you didn't understand in today's lesson, and even leave too much homework to urge you to grow, but take the trouble to ask you:
"Hey, Louie, did you have a good day?"
Louie's hidden answer is:
"Happy you MB!"
Over time, in the atmosphere of "happy" education in the UK, only parents from elite families understand the importance of learning, and they may urge their children to learn, master more knowledge, and become part of the middle class like themselves in the future.
Children under the "happy" education may be engaged in jobs as adults, such as waiters in a restaurant who rely on customer tips, or cashiers in a supermarket or convenience store with a weekly salary.
I don't want my child to be motivated, I just want my child to be happy, and I completely lock the upper limit of my child's growth in place.
As a result, the children of doctors may still be elites such as lawyers, teachers, and doctors, while the children of waiters are more likely to haunt restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores, and other places.
So Louie, who aspired to become a doctor, was fortunate that his father, Jason Rogers, was a well-known doctor in London, running a private practice and working part-time as the personal doctor of a certain London aristocracy.
His mother, Sophia, was an elementary school teacher, and although she advocated mainstream "happy" education at school, she cared deeply about Louie's studies and did her best to help him with his homework every day, even if Louis often needed her to answer the university courses that were out of line.
Because of this, before Louis failed to get admission to Eton College, the most nervous person in Rogers' family was Sophia.
Of course.
Whatever the final outcome, Louis is Sophia's pride, and this is the truest thought of a mother.
But just as Louie walked slowly and leisurely towards the kitchen, trying to relieve Sophia's tension as much as possible, and prevent the sandwich she made from becoming a dark dish again.
"Gollum!"
Suddenly an owl flew outside the kitchen window, swept over Sophia's head, and threw a letter in front of Louis.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Louie suddenly had an ominous premonition, standing in place for a long time, or Sophia, who was busy in the kitchen, washed her hands, walked over and bent down to pick up the pale yellow envelope in front of Louis, and said in confusion:
"Louie, if I was not mistaken, it seems... An owl sent you a letter? ”
"Mum, I think you read that right."
Louis said helplessly: "Can you show me the letter?" ”
"Uh-huh..."
Taking the envelope from Sophia, Louis found it heavy, like a parchment envelope in his vague memory.
Without looking closely at the envelope's home address, written in emerald green ink, Louis turned the envelope over and saw the letter "H" that he was more familiar with, as well as a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake around it.
"Hogwarts? Harry potter? ”
After more than ten years of rebirth, he suddenly realized that the world he was in was a world of magic, and Louis was not only a little shocked in his heart, but more...
Agitated!
After all, in a world where all kinds of magic exist, the chances of overcoming terminal diseases such as cancer and leukemia are higher, aren't they?
In the wizarding world, diseases that can make doctors all over the world helpless may not be difficult to control wizards who master magic!
Then Louis took a deep breath and opened the envelope to see that the letter read:
"Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Confederation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Guild, First Class Wizard of the Order of Merlin).
Dear Mr. Rogers,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A list of required books and equipment is included (omitted). Semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will wait for your owl to hear back from you by July 31.
Vice-Chancellor (female) Minerva McGonagall. ”
After reading the letter three times, Louis, who was sure that this was the HP world, raised his head and was about to say something to Sophia in front of him, when suddenly Sophia's voice sounded from behind him:
"Louie, I think... If this letter isn't a belated April Fool's joke, Jason and I need to talk to you about it. ”
Slowly clenching his palms, quietly clenching the black mist that gradually appeared in his palms, Louis, who looked extremely focused, nodded seriously and said:
"Hmm."
"Okay."
