Chapter 3 Visitors
After taking a bath, Linde took the little owl to the study, took out a piece of stationery, and was just about to reply to the letter, but after thinking about it, he changed it to waterproof letter paper and ink.
ββββββββ
Dear Professor Minerva McGonagall,
Hopefully this isn't a prank, if this owl can actually get the letter to you.
If I can go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to study magic, where do I buy the books and equipment I need?
ββββββββ
Linde thought for a moment that something more should be added to show the state of mind of a Muggle-born young wizard when he received the letter. He began to read and read the letters, but he couldn't figure out how to write them.
If it's like some mentally handicapped fanfiction, you have to make it look like there are no silver three hundred taels here, then the gains outweigh the losses.
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, so he simply signed the payment directly in the back. He took out a waterproof plastic envelope and handed the letter to the little owl who had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
The owl walked slowly to the window with the letter in his mouth, and the rain outside had begun to fall heavily, but it was not at all frightened, and flapped its wings and flew out, and in a short time its figure disappeared into the night rain.
Lind closed the window, went to his desk, picked up a bound notebook, and began to revise it.
This is the story he serialized in the newspaper, "The Matrix"
Since the release of "2001: A Space Odyssey", the sci-fi craze has been detonated again. Linde was a sci-fi fan in his previous life, so now he also makes money on these things for himself - as Felix.
Now that he's going to Hogwarts, he won't be spending any more time on this aspect in the future, so he plans to make a final check on the works he has created but have not yet published in the next two days.
It was busy until midnight, when the rain became louder and louder, and Lin De slowly closed the notebook, the ink in the bottle was almost bottoming out, and there were many scattered pages on the side.
He stood up and stretched, looking at the time.
One o'clock in the morning.
By now, Hagrid must have gone to the Rotten Stone House and turned DalΓ's cake into a pig! The savior, Harry Potter, also learns that his parents were actually killed by the Dark Wizard, not because of a car accident.
But it doesn't have anything to do with him, and he doesn't want to go to have nothing to do with Harry Potter and then show off his skills and become the top name in the school, oh no, stars.
All he has now is an endless yearning for the wizarding world. Then run away after the 4th grade Goblet of Fire event or the 5th grade Toad incident.
After that, Hogwarts was no longer safe. Running away is what smart people do.
So now he should instead pray in his heart that the owl had better fly a little slower.
It would be better to wait until Hagrid had left for London with Harry in the morning before the school received a letter to send the teacher back here.
After thinking for a while, he walked out of the study and picked up a rag to wipe all the dust off the desktop photos in the room.
Linde usually doesn't stay much in this house, and usually tosses and turns in the toilet, study, bedroom, kitchen, three places, so the rest of the place often accumulates dust, and often has to take time out to clean.
Nothing to say all night -
He was very lucky that not a guy who was as fast as three meters knocked on his door.
Lind got up early and went to Felix's yard to lead the two dogs. Because Felix runs a tavern and sleeps every morning, Linde does the dog walking on weekdays.
Sneaking the dog around town, he was almost hit by a speeding car. But looking at the driver's impatient face and size, he thought it was the Dursleys, who were now worried about their baby Dali's pigtail.
Linde also bought breakfast outside, and then he went home.
When Linde got home, he began to read a book while waiting for someone from Hogwarts to come.
It was his habit to go straight to the beach and continue the day in the sea. But on the one hand, he was looking forward to being the first to come into contact with the wizarding world, so he could only stay at home and read books now.
However, this wait is half a month......
Linde stayed at home for four days, and Felix came to ask if he was sick, and why Mr. Little Fishman didn't return to the sea during this time.
Then Linde returned to the life of going to the sea to soak in the water every morning and returning home in the afternoon to read and write.
However, he was undoubtedly distraught during this time, but there was nothing he could do. He also wanted to contact the people at Hogwarts again, but he couldn't, so he just thought about it.
With more than ten days left before the start of the Hogwarts school year, Felix and the rest of his siblings asked him where he was going to secondary school, and he could only prevaricate over and over again.
Until the morning of August 17.
Lind was walking down the street, his eyes blank and he was slipped home by two dogs like a walking corpse.
He was now beginning to wonder if Hogwarts didn't want him anymore.
It wasn't until he reached the front of the house that he heard the low roar of two dogs that he turned around.
I saw a figure standing in front of the gate of his house covered in black robes. Oily black hair slightly shorter than Linde, hooked nose, sallow skin, and a pair of deep eyes.
Linde hurriedly calmed the two big dogs who were in a low position and could fly forward in the next second, and then he hurriedly raised his head to look at the person in front of him.
"Mr. Linde Green Augustus, there is no need to say those kind words of hello.
I'm Professor Severus Snape, from Hogwarts, and I'm your future Potions teacher.
I think I need to see your guardian. β
Before Lind could speak, Snape choked what he wanted to say.
"Well, okay Professor Snape, I don't have a guardian, but I think my brother and I will want to learn more about magic and Hogwarts school, please come with me."
As he spoke, Linde lowered his head and touched the head of one of the dogs, "Xiong Da, Xiong Er." Go and call Felix up, we've got an important guest coming. β
Hearing what he said, the two dogs let out a low roar and ran back to Felix's house.
"Professor, do you need to go in and sit down?"
"No need, I just hope your brother can come sooner, I don't have much time.
By the way, you'd better ask your brother to bring some money and we'll leave for London in a moment. Snape said impatiently, not knowing how long he had been waiting here before Lindh came back from walking his dog.
Linde patted the jacket he was wearing, showing a hint of pride, "I have all my money." β
After a while, Lind heard an angry roar from the next room, "What the hell are you two idiots doing, don't lick me, get out of here." Isn't it Linde's guy again! β
Felix finally walked out the door with a curse and walked towards the two of them.
When he came over to look at Snape, he asked strangely, "Who are you?" Stand my brother ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Snape put his hand on Felix's shoulder, and then he felt his vision spin around, his internal organs being squeezed together, his body twisted, and his head resting on his ass.
However, in the next second, he felt his feet fall to the ground again, and the air poured into the lungs that had been squeezed just now.
When I looked closely, I was already standing in front of a tavern with the man and Linde. And Linde's facial features are now crowded together, and he thinks that he should have this expression on his own face.
Now his mind was a mess and he didn't understand what was going on.
Lind was no better than Felix, and he didn't expect Snape to really be reluctant to say a word! Directly lead people to apparition, so what if you meet a big family like Weasley?
Snape stood by without saying a word, waiting for the two to breathe a sigh of relief before speaking.
