There is light in the world and there is darkness at the same time, even in a big city like London, in the heavy snow in winter, under the glamour of the city that never sleeps, there are still people in the subway tunnel huddled in the corner with old cotton clothes.

In addition to government exploits, newspapers are full of crimes. Whether it's a true story or a fictional detective novel, people always enjoy it.

As for an Estin orphanage located under the noses of Londoners, it is well known that the neighbors in the neighborhood are often treated with reverence for angels.

And it is such an orphanage that perfectly combines the holy light on the surface with the dirty and ugly inside, and if it were not for a fire, the newspaper reporters like flies in London would not have imagined that the seemingly ordinary orphanage would have such fierce material!

Since the First World War, the Estin Orphanage has been financed and built by the old director Mr. Estin, and has a history of half a century, from the initial shelter of war orphans, to later become a place for government agencies and insurance companies to accommodate orphans and homeless. The orphanage was getting more and more beautifully built, and a huge black dog crouched at the door, so that the officials who came to inspect the place were very satisfied with the security measures and the excellent hospitality. In their work reports, more appropriations were issued.

The overhauled spire reaches into the sky like a knight's spear, and is as holy as a church in the sun. This glamour might have continued if it hadn't been for a Waterloo-like fire.

It was 1986, and the fire had unexpectedly started in the winter, and it had turned the entire orphanage into firewood in the fireplace, crackling and burning vigorously, even the fire trucks surrounded it, and made no secret of its arrogance. The scorching tongue of fire, like a snake letter, slyly wants to break through.

Everyone has heard before that if you encounter a forest fire like a mountain fire, extinguishing it with water is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, but it is unbelievable that this orphanage can also produce a fire with no water. Several fire trucks went down, which only fueled the fire even more.

The chief of the fire department personally ordered a large number of firefighters to go into the fire to rescue everyone who could be saved, and then abandon the surrounding buildings. This is a helpless move, this fire has to be extinguished if there is nothing to burn. Blockading a large number of houses in the vicinity and then transferring helicopters to drop fire extinguishing agents is a no-brainer.

Seeing that the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the blockade is about to be connected, and the helicopter has not yet arrived, this fire is actually smaller!

Incredible!

The reporters gave the director a cheer and immediately demolished the surrounding buildings, curbing the spread of the fire and successfully saving the lives and property of Londoners...... It's like a superhero from an anime.

But that's not the point, such a fire has attracted a lot of attention, and it is impossible to give a reason, the public will not easily let go of the truth of this incident that has cost a lot of taxes, and insurance companies are also reluctant to spit out the "fat" in their mouths so easily.

With the intervention of Scotland Yard, a small dark room was excavated. The pervasive paparazzi used their highly inflammatory articles to put the Estin orphanage back on the headlines of every day, not forgetting to include key photos to prove their truth.

The photo shows a burnt room, no larger than a small dormitory, with a one-meter-high cross in the middle and a number of whips placed on the side. According to the innocent little ones in the orphanage, this little black room is specially designed to teach disobedient "little cubs". According to the people concerned, the utensils in the small black room were as horrific as the cruelty of the Middle Ages to the infidels.

That's kind of scary!

On the day of the fire, an unfortunate and lucky little guy was suffering from this treatment. When the firefighters rushed in with a huge fire, the poor little guy was still tied to the cross of Jesus. The heat scorched him dehydrated, and he was already unconscious, and the cunning tongue of fire licked his white and tender cheeks, and the pain could not summon back his consciousness of falling into darkness.

The doctors were ready to call the priest to prepare for his funeral, and he miraculously reinstated the hospital ECG.

The boy who died in the catastrophe, except for the fire scars on his face, everything got better quickly, which is also related to his young age, and the most important thing is that the compensation from the police station allows him to have sufficient medical expenses.

The fact that the boy was tied to the cross is also related to them. The day before the fire, the boy found an opportunity to escape from the orphanage and ran innocently to ask for help to denounce the abuse inherent in the orphanage. But in the face of an orphanage with a very good impression among the masses, the police uncles at that time took it for granted that it was a prank of children who were not willing to be lonely. After all, adults have a naturally convincing ability in comparison.

The boy who was sent back was severely punished, the doctor who treated him found blood stains from dozens of whips, and the nurse who cleaned his wounds left the room in tears.

As the second responsible party, the police department was ordered to pay the medical bills, and the huge insurance compensation allowed the boy to even buy the house at 5 Privet Road.

Edge, as the boy who never died, was very different. This can be seen from the fact that he wants to give himself a new name without a surname but a first name, which in his words is called the basis for a new life. But this is unusual, only a name without a surname, and it has been a shameful thing since ancient times - it means inferior status. Aitch didn't care, or rather, happily left the past.

Like the others, the orphans who also came out of the Estin orphanage don't think so much. They may choose to change orphanages or be adopted. This is the choice of a normal child, because he doesn't understand, because he can't, so he obeys the arrangement of adults.

But Aitch is different, he demands the full amount of the insurance money, refuses a court-arranged guardian, and even successfully appeals for the right to live alone. In the UK, guardians are held accountable if they are found to be alone on the streets. The future flowers of the British Empire do not allow for a little sloppiness.

Even so, the lawyer and the judge who fought him in the ring must admit that this seven or eight-year-old boy who was talking eloquently and endlessly in the courtroom with the English Code in his hands was definitely a genius. Because he succeeded in getting the jury on his side, the judge dropping the hammer and reading the verdict in public, which was published on the front page of the front page of the Legal Daily.

Edge, the name in the twentieth century meant much more than that. Like a boy of the same age in his neighbor's house, it was a boy with a lightning scar on his forehead, and his name was Harry Potter.
