Chapter 3: Letter from Hogwarts
Chapter 3: Letter from Hogwarts
In the morning, before dawn, the eastern horizon was red, and there were faint traces of stars above Harry's head, and Harry still started running. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
When he returned, he saw the postman delivering to Penny's house. Harry's heart jumped, "Have you arrived?" The anticipation, with a strange feeling of unconfidence and a hint of fear, welled up in his heart.
"Really, isn't it just a letter. Harry said this, but the tension in his softly trembling hand stretched out to the mailbox could be seen. Can you not be nervous, I've been waiting for ten years.
Harry pulled out the letters, and there were three of them. One is a postcard from Uncle Dethrie's sister, one is like a bill, and the other is a letter to Harry Potter!
Harry only felt a rush of hot blood rush to his head, and he even forgot to breathe for a long time before slowly exhaling a breath. He looked at the unique way of addressing: Mr. Harry Potter, the smallest bedroom, No. 4 Privet Road, Little Whinging, Surrey. The envelope was made of heavy parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink. On the back of the envelope is a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a snake, and a snake are circled around the capital "H".
Harry quickly hid the letter in his bosom and looked left and right, as if he was afraid that others would see it. If a police officer sees him like this, they will immediately judge: "This cliff is a thief!"
Walking inside, Harry dropped the other two letters on the table and whispered upstairs to the house, locking it. Then he threw himself on the bed, looked at the letter in his hand, kissed it hard, and laughed.
Congratulations to Harry for winning the Dirty Laughter of the Year award!
Harry took a deep breath, Shenma, didn't relax, then sucked again, still can't ·········
Finally, the beast blood in the body ······· The human blood calmed down. Harry carefully opened the envelope, pulled out the letter and began to 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).

Harry looked at the letter and could already feel the aura of a mysterious, gray magical world.
At this moment, the sound of wings flapping sounded outside the glass window. Harry saw that it was an owl, who was it? Harry opened the window and took out a piece of paper from the leather pouch tied to the owl's leg.
The paper reads:
Dear Harry,
I think you've received your acceptance letter from Hogwarts, and I'll be picking you up tonight and heading to Diagon Alley to buy what you need.
Yours sincerely, Hagrid
"Is it going to start tonight?, this plot unfolds so quickly, but I like it. Harry muttered to himself. "Then I'm going to pack my things quickly. ”
Seeing that the owl was about to fly away, Harry suddenly remembered the words on the letter, and hurriedly said, "Wait." The owl circled around and flew back to the window.
"I can understand what I'm saying. ”
"Can you help me deliver a letter to Professor McGonagall?" asked Harry.
The owl shook its head for a while.
“⊙﹏⊙b·············· Your sister, what do you mean by turning your head in a circle? If you don't speak, I'll treat you as if you can. ”
Harry sat down at the table, took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote in a black pen:
Dear Miss McGonagall··············
Harry thought for a moment, crumpled the letter, took out a new piece of paper, and wrote:
Dear and dear Miss McGonagall,
Looking at the beginning, Harry nodded in satisfaction.
"What, someone said I'm shameless, thanks for the compliment!" Harry shyly said.
Harry continued: "I have received your letter and I am willing to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I believe that under your earnest teaching, I will definitely become a young man with ideals, morality, culture, and discipline.
Your Harry
After writing the letter, Harry folded it in half and stuffed it into Hagrid's owl pouch. The owl spread its wings and flew away. Then Harry began to pack up his things in the room.
Books, Harry will keep them, and he won't read them. The clothes he could wear were to be taken with him, as well as a few memorable items, and at the end of the day, Harry's belongings filled two large packages and a suitcase.
Harry wrote another letter to Aunt Petunia explaining the situation, otherwise it would be fun for her to think she had run away from home or been abducted, and she called the police.
At lunchtime, Aunt Petunia suddenly looked at Harry, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Harry, who had been having fun at Hogwarts school, almost blurted out, "Damn!"
"This is a situation of Shenma, can I say that this is a woman's intuition?" Harry complained helplessly.
At this time, Harry gave full play to the acting skills that an actor should have, raised his head in some surprise, and asked puzzledly, "It's okay, what's wrong?"
“···················· Just think you're a little weird today. ”
"Oh, maybe I'm worried about Cousin Dudley's grades. ”
“············” Aunt Penny gritted her teeth.
················································································
The afternoon passed uneventfully.
As night comes, the lights in the city gradually go out and become quieter.
People are asleep, except for some very special people, such as ·········· Harry potter!
Harry lay in bed, unable to sleep at all, just waiting.
At one point, there was a low roar, and then Harry's room was as bright as day, flickering twice, and then falling into darkness again.
Harry quickly got up from the bed and ran to the window, only to see a huge motorcycle parked on the road in front of the house, with a huge man sitting in the car, and the headlights in front of the motorcycle were off.
The massive shadow saw Harry and waved excitedly.
Harry left the window, took out a letter from under the pillow, put it on the desk, picked up his luggage, left the room softly, went down the stairs softly, opened the door softly, and was about to step out of the door, Harry still couldn't help but turn around, in the dark, looking at the house where he had lived for ten years, familiar with every place, and recorded many of his memories, a kind of reluctance and abrupt loneliness rose in his heart.
"I'm not a literary youth, and sentimentality or anything is not suitable for me at all. Harry laughed at himself.
No longer nostalgic step out of Privet Road No. 4!
Hagrid, who was like a beast, gave Harry a heavy hug and said incoherently, "Oh, Harry, long time no see, I mean······ When you were a child······ I've hugged ······."
Hagrid's body width felt like an adult standing next to each other, so when Harry was hugged, he couldn't see Harry at all.
"I'm going to have to convince Hagrid to let him take a bath. That was the only thought on Harry's mind after being held by Hagrid.
It's sour, it's just not to be wanted.
Harry's face was pale and he parted from Hagrid, and he couldn't smell the strange smell of Hagrid, and Harry felt a taste of happiness.
Forced smiled, "I know, long time no see, Hagrid." ”
Hagrid took Harry's heavy luggage as if he were holding cotton in his hand. Putting his luggage on the back seat of the motorcycle, he handed Harry another goggle, "You have to wear it, or the wind will blow you can't open your eyes along the way." ”
"Are we going straight to London on our motorbikes?" asked Harry, curious. Because in the original book, many letters were not delivered, and in the end, it was Hagrid himself who sent the acceptance letter, and then the two of them took the train to London.
"Yes, at the speed of the motorcycle, by the time we get there, it should be almost dawn, these days, because a lot of new students have to buy all kinds of things, Diagon Alley will be very lively, oh, you don't know Diagon Alley yet, but I think you'll like it there. Hagrid straddled the bike and lifted Harry up, lifted, lifted and put him on his seat.
"Are you ready? Hagrid started the motorcycle, and it began to rise into the air, getting higher and higher until it could look down on the city, and lunged forward.
Harry held his breath, this was flying in the sky! Harry looked at the horizon without houses, the sky high, the houses below kept retreating, the parks, the colleges, the rivers········· I don't know where my thoughts have gone.
Luobei: Hagrid's motorcycle is Sirius Black's, which would not have appeared, but I think it's faster to ride a motorcycle, so everyone thinks it's Hagrid's.
