Harry Potter and the Old Ones

In May 1991, a mottled owl flew over the city of London with a letter in its mouth.

At the same time, in a dilapidated attic in the old city of London, an eleven-year-old Chinese boy was taking notes with a serious face.

The boy's left hand in black gloves pressed lightly on the old and yellowed parchment, while the other hand quickly wrote and drew some very complex geometric figures on another blank parchment.

After about 30 minutes, the Chinese-American boy finished his last strokes, leaned on the chair lightly, picked up a bottle of light blue liquid on the side of the table, and drank it.

"Hmm..." The Chinese-American boy, or Tiera, almost vomited out of the choking smell in the light blue liquid, but fortunately, he covered his mouth in time and forced himself to swallow it.

The moment the blue liquid was swallowed, Tiera only felt as if she had returned to the night when the laboratory exploded. It stretched to eternity, the dull pain of the refrigerator hitting him, the severe pain of crushing his skull inch by inch, tormented him frame by frame.

I don't know how long it took, Tiera woke up in a cold sweat from the hell-like torture, but his spirit was incomparably uplifted, as if he had woken up after a long and comfortable sleep.

"I feel hopeless when I think of continuing to drink in the future." Tiera sighed, lifted up the chair he kicked down while drinking the medicine, and went to the bathroom downstairs to take a hot shower.

The potion Tiera had just drank was called Herris Potion. It was one of the research results in Merlin's diary. It could enhance mental power, and the remaining medicinal properties could build a temporary spiritual barrier for the user for about a month. , which can effectively reduce the probability that the user accidentally aligns with the old ruler when learning forbidden spells.

Of course, the side effects are also quite obvious. Within ten minutes to half an hour of taking the medicine, the user will experience the most painful experience in his life over and over again.

For Tiera, it was naturally the experience of being crushed to death by a freezer under an explosion.

Although he didn't feel anything at the time, the pain was recorded by his subconscious mind, and it erupted in the illusion caused by Harris' Pharmacy.

After taking a shower, Tiera lay softly on the bed. Get ready to learn the next magic after a short rest.

He has only one short day a week to learn magic without being affected, so he must hurry up.

It has been five years since he left the orphanage. Although he has a huge sum of money in ancient coins, Tiera cautiously took out a few pawns in exchange for enough money to live on for nearly a month or two. Find a job.

It's just that it's not easy for a six-year-old to find a job. Either he rejects him outright, or someone with bad intentions wants to sell him into some underground places.

Tiera, who has been out of work for a long time, has to learn from other street children in London who do petty thefts.

However, this situation soon changed. During a burglary, he was stopped by a Chinese aunt who could not speak English, and after finding out that Tiera spoke much better English than her husband's A generous, fat, and kind-hearted Chinese aunt offers Tiera a job as a cashier at her restaurant.

She has room and board, six days off and one day off, with a monthly salary of 20 pounds. Her usual job is to sit at the cashier and translate what guests need to order. When she is busy, she may go to the back kitchen to help out.

Now, the attic in this old town originally belonged to a friend of hers. The friend left it to her to take care of it for the time being when she returned to China. It was empty and empty, so Tiera was just arranged to stay here.

Most of the wages Tiera earned have been saved by herself.

It didn't even cost much to make the Herris potion. After all, this library is not just a library, it is also located on a planet similar to the ecological environment of the earth. With the entrance of the library as the center, Merlin has opened up more than ten acres of herbal medicine. field.

Although Merlin has been away for nearly five or six hundred years, most of the herbs are growing like wild grass because of the suitable climate here. Most of the materials for making Harris's potion were gathered, and the remaining small part was also collected in the Chinese medicine store in Chinatown.

"Knock, knock, knock"

Just when Tiera wanted to get up and learn another magic, there seemed to be a sound of knocking on the glass in his ear.

A few seconds later, he saw a mottled owl with a paper letter in his mouth landed in front of his skylight and struck the glass three times with its short beak.

"Knock, knock, knock"

"Could it be..." Thinking of some possibility, Tiera rolled over from the bed in excitement, and hurriedly picked up the iron rod to push up the skylight.

After the mottled owl flew in and put the letter on Tiera's desk, it stood alone on the back of the chair and sorted its feathers.

Tiera picked up the thin envelope, red stamped on a white background, with his name, address written in emerald green ink on the back, a wax seal on the front, a coat of arms, a capital H surrounded by a letter. A lion, a snake, an eagle, and a flathead.

Tiera was a little excited and flattened the envelope, carefully using a paper cutter to cut off the part of the lacquer that was removed from the letter paper, and peeled off the whole piece of lacquer.

Tiera took out the pungent ink-smelling letter from the envelope and read it carefully, word by word.

It's true, it's true!

Tiera glanced at the owl standing on the table in a trance, causing the owl to flap its wings in annoyance.

But Tiera's trance only lasted for a while.

Immediately, he pulled out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and wrote:

Dear Professor Dumbledore:

It is a great honor to enter the Hogwarts Court of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magic. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

After writing this sentence, Tiera thought for a while, and continued to write:

But I don't have anyone around me who has studied magic, and I'm very interested in magic, but I've never touched it, so I don't know how to prepare what's on the list or how to get to Hogwarts here.

If I can, I mean if it is convenient for you, if any of the faculty members happen to live in London or work in London, can they lead me into the magical world of magicians by the way?

Tierra Wu

Folded the reply letter and handed it to Owl.

But the owl didn't open its mouth, instead, it waved its wings and called, and then stared at Tiera with a very humane look.

"Oh, yes, you must be hungry when you fly here." Tiera only reacted when she saw the owl's movements.

"Exactly, I have the delicious food you like here." After speaking, Tiera opened the door of the next floor and ran down. When she came back, she was carrying a plump squirrel with a somewhat mutilated tail in her hand.

This is the drug rat that Tiera caught in the attic when she was practicing the Floating Charm. Now that it has been proved that the Hellis Pharmacy is indeed useful, it is no longer needed, and it is simply given to the hard-working messenger as a snack.

"Squeak-squeak-" the squirrel was caught in his hands and screamed frantically, but unfortunately Tiera was holding the back of his neck, and it couldn't bite Tiera no matter how much tossed it.

Tiera handed the squirrel to the owl's beak.

The owl looked at the big mouse and then at Tiera.

He pecked Tiera's hand, then took the letter in his mouth and flew away without looking back.

"Don't owls like to eat mice?"

Looking at the owl's back, Tiera said with some doubts.

"Do you want to eat it cooked?"
