Chapter 1: Letters from Hogwarts
June 30, 1972, 12 Grimmauld Place, London, England. A little blonde girl is lying on a velvet bed, her lovely milky white face reveals a hint of princess delicacy, and the sunlight that slanted into the room shines on her blonde hair, noble and beautiful. But the sound of a thump woke the sleeping princess.
"Uh" she rubbed her grey eyes and stretched wide.
The sound of thump came from the window, and she noticed a light brown owl outside the window, tilting its head, pecking at the glass with its small beak, and staring at her with big eyes.
"Oh! Oh, my God! As if she had seen something very pleasantly surprised, she quickly lifted the quilt, jumped off, did not even put on shoes, and hurriedly opened the window.
The owl was holding a letter in her mouth, and when she took it, she wanted to run downstairs to tell the surprise.
She had just taken a few steps before she turned back
"I forgot to feed you, thank you."
After feeding the owl some feed to send it away, she looked at the envelope excitedly. It has a wax seal, a coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a capital "H". It was written in emerald green ink:
12 Grimmauld Place
Bedroom on the right on the third floor
Cynthia· Miss Black receives
She excitedly ran downstairs and found her father, mother, and brothers having breakfast in the cafeteria, shouting, "I've finally received an acceptance letter from Hogwarts!" ”
Orion· Black and Walburga · Black put down the knife in his hand and looked at their little daughter with a smile on his face. "It's really exciting," Orion said. But Cynthia, you can't forget the etiquette of a noble lady just because you're overjoyed. ”
"Oh yes Dad, I see." The blonde girl said as she straightened her messy hair.
"Alright, let's eat first, my little princess!" Walburga said with a smile in his eyes.
She sat down and looked at the little boy with chestnut eyes and said, "Hey, Regulus! I'm sure you received it too! ”
"Of course! But Cynthia, remember to call my brother, don't be so big and small. The boy looked at her and smiled.
"It's only a few minutes...... "The girl muttered quietly. At this time, a black-haired and gray-eyed teenager on the other side rubbed the girl's blonde hair and said dotingly: "It seems that I don't have to go to Hogwarts alone this year, I can take you two little ghosts with me!" ”
"Sirius, I'm happy because I can finally go to Hogwarts!" The girl straightened the boy's hair and replied happily.
After a quick breakfast, the girl rushed upstairs and sat down at her desk to open the letter.
