064: The Mystery of Origin

Joel hesitated for a moment, glanced at the face of the old man in front of him, and made sure that she didn't know the true identity of Hogwarts, "It's not bad, the classmates are very enthusiastic." ”

"That's good," the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "I'm afraid that you won't get along with anyone when you get out of here......"

Joel felt that the Wu orphanage did not seem to be as terrible as he imagined, at least judging from the attitude of the director and the room layout that Joel had seen before, this orphanage was quite normal.

"Dean Feynman, do you know how I got here?" Joel asked his own question as he observed the dean's face.

"Ah......" Dean Feynman sighed, "let me think about it, it's been a long time since that happened. ”

"Ten years ago in the autumn, a frail young woman sent you to the Wu orphanage," Dean Feynman took a sip of water, sorting out the memories in his head, "I saw that she was very weak, so I helped her into the house and poured her a glass of water." ”

"After that, after that...... Dean Feynman frowned tightly, "strange, I can't remember." ”

She immediately picked up the file bags stacked on the table, "I looked for it, and every child who entered the orphanage had a file recording the reasons why they became orphans. ”

"No longer here, could it be that I put it in the cabinet?" Dean Feynman muttered to himself.

Joel sipped his saliva, suppressing his restless and restless heart.

"How could I not find it?" Dean Feynman moved all the files out of the cabinet, and Joel saw that she was struggling, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"You can also help me find the file of the child who was admitted to the hospital 10 years ago," Dean Feynman glanced at the file bag in his hand and put it down, picking up another copy, "It should be from 1981." ”

1981, 1981...... Joel carefully flipped through each file in his hand, and the file clearly stated the child's name and year of admission, but no matter how the two searched through it, they couldn't find Joel's file.

"Shhh......hh It shouldn't be......"

She stood up tremblingly, "I'll call the Social Security Advisory Committee, they should have your information there." ”

Dean Feynman took out a pen and wrote it down in his notebook as he dialed the phone.

Soon after, she hung up the phone and handed the notebook to Joel, "They said that your parents died in a car accident, and you survived by chance, and the government sent you to the Wu orphanage." ”

"Maybe I was confused, I'm sorry." Dean Feynman smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really confused, but I won't be busy for long, and this orphanage is about to die." ”

"What do you mean?" Joel frowned.

"There are real estate companies that have taken a fancy to this land, and they have paid a high price, saying that they want to build some office buildings," said Dean Feynman, who put the file bags back in their places with the help of Joel, "Now that society is getting better and better, there are many fewer children who need to be taken in by the orphanage, and it is just this opportunity for the government to ban the Wu orphanage." ”

After tidying up, Dean Feynman sat in his chair and gasped, she was too old to be retired if the orphanage had not found a suitable administrator.

"Many of you children have already gone to boarding school, and I don't have a lot of work now, so I can finish the work at the orphanage in another two years, and then I can go home to spend my old age," said Dean Feynman, smiling, "I miss the wheat fields of my hometown of Wiltshire, and I can smell the malt when I stay in the house during the harvest season." ”

"London is so bustling, it's breathless," she said, shaking her head, "I've had enough of it." ”

"By the way, I've packed up your room, do you want to come and see it?"

Joel seemed to be moved by Dean Feynman's words, and he followed the old man to the room next to the dean's office, which was about the same size and furnishing as the room in the Leaky Cauldron, except for an extra desk.

"Your former roommate, McCann, went to college, and I guess it's hard for you to see him again in the future, so I moved his bed."

"It just so happens that we can talk about it after dinner in the evening," Dean Feynman's eyes brightened, "The stinky boys who stay here are all very naughty, not as mature and steady as you were when you were a child, and I can't talk to them." ”

Joel looked into Dean Feynman's eyes and nodded in agreement.

He didn't want to stay in the orphanage, but when he came here today to ask why he was an orphan, he got two different answers.

Is it really Dean Feynman's confusion? Joel is not convinced that many of the children in the orphanage are abandoned or their parents die in accidents, and few parents take the initiative to send their children to the orphanage.

Dean Feynman must have been very impressed by the occurrence of such a rare event, how could he be confused?

He always felt that something was wrong, and he left the orphanage to go to the Leaky Cauldron Bar to bring back his luggage and owls, thinking about it all the time on the way back and forth.

10 years ago, in 1981, a lot of things happened, and Joel was most impressed by the boy who never died - Harry Potter, because of the blood magic set by his mother Lily, Voldemort did not succeed in killing him, and the killing curse instead consumed himself.

So will the parents of the original owner of the body have anything to do with Voldemort and the Order of the Phoenix? Maybe they weren't ordinary Muggles, but wizards with great magical powers?

Joel felt that the origin of the original owner of the body was clouded with a layer of fog, and he couldn't figure it out.

He wanted to take advantage of this holiday to find out his life problems and solve his worries.

"This is an owl?" In the office of the director of Wu's orphanage, Dean Feynman looked curiously at Poppy, who was sleeping in the cage.

“…… That's right, the school teacher gave each student one and asked us to try to feed them. ”

"Your school is really good, and the green-robed woman who came to pick you up before looks like a good teacher." Dean Feynman muttered, and Joel understood that she was talking about Professor McGonagall.

There weren't many orphans in the Wu orphanage, and there were only seven of them, including the two boys Joel had seen in the hallway.

The funds allocated by the government to the orphanage and orphans were sufficient, at least the food level was not much worse than that of Hogwarts, and there was a meal of milk biscuits in the evening to help them grow.

Joel accompanied Dean Feynman to talk until the lights out, and the old man seemed to have been unable to find a suitable person to talk to for a long time, and she was eager to tell Joel everything she had seen and heard in the past year, and even her son, who also worked on the London Stock Exchange but had not been seen for a year and a half, became the object of her complaints.

Joel listened silently most of the time, he knew that the old man had been depressed for a long time, and there was only Dean Feynman in this orphanage who was a real adult, and she couldn't find any way to talk about it on weekdays, so she could only do her job silently.

In a way, she was as lonely and lonely as the children at the Wu orphanage.
