School time always passes quickly. At least, when Ji Ciyuan's research on magical animals has not made much progress, the magic calendar that Leah put on the table has taken effect, and they are about to usher in their first child. A holiday, Christmas.

"I want to go home. Pandora will enter school next year. I want to go back and see her." Leah said while packing her things, even though there were still a few days left before leaving on the Hogwarts Express. But she still wanted to put her things away first. On that day, she must be the first to take the express home.

"Pandora?" The movements of her hands stopped for half a second, and Ji Ciyuan turned to look at Leah. She had never heard this name in Leah's mouth. Listening to what Leah just said, that Pandora is her sister?

"I didn't tell you right?" Leah said, blinking, and handed a photo in her drawer to Ji Ciyuan's hand. Unlike Muggle photos, photos in the magical world can be moved. Yes, in the photo, there is a girl standing next to Leah who is obviously a little smaller than her. Unlike Leah, she has a faint smile on her face, her blue eyes seem to be shining, and she reaches out her hand gently Lifting a strand of Leah's hair, she turned to look at the camera and tilted her head. "She is Pandora, my little sister. I think she will definitely be a Ravenclaw. When she enters school, there will be one more helper to help you find magical animals."

Is it really okay to put my sister in such a hard labor position before she enters school?

With a helpless smile, Ji Ciyuan placed the group photo on Leah's table and turned to make his own bed.

"Where is A Yuan? Where is A Yuan's family?" Liya said. Unlike her own forgetfulness, Ji Ciyuan had never mentioned her family. Now that the conversation happened to be here, Liya couldn't help but be a little curious.

"They..." Ji Ciyuan said, looking down at his hands, biting his lower lip slightly before blurting out softly, "They have left."

"Sorry." Leah said, reaching out and patting Ji Ciyuan's shoulder. She obviously had not thought about such a result, and naturally felt a little guilty.

"It's nothing, Leah. I have been brought by my senior brothers and sisters since I was a child, but I have learned a lot. Ji Ciyuan wanted to say this, but suddenly he realized that this is the magical world. Even if he leaves, he is still in the UK, and in this country, he It's in the orphanage. Because she had nowhere to go, even when she first arrived in this world, she was almost pierced by an arrow. She was rushed to the hospital for rescue, but she miraculously survived. Later, she was sent to be an orphan because she did not have relevant population certificates. hospital. "I'm fine, Leah."

It's really good. Although the environment in the orphanage is not good, it is better than peace. Ji Ciyuan is not an innocent little girl who knows nothing about it. Instead, she can take good care of herself.

"Are you coming to my house for Christmas?" Leah said. This was not just talk. She had already taken out the parchment. As long as Ji Ciyuan nodded, she would write home and say that she wanted to invite her good friends to spend time at home. Her parents are very good people and will definitely agree with the idea of ​​Christmas.

Shaking his head, Ji Ciyuan actually had his own plan.

Like many people who travel around the world, before leaving Miao territory to go to the battlefield, she was accustomed to storing her things in a personal warehouse that she opened when she went to the Central Plains to attend the Famous Sword Conference. There were beautiful clothes she bought from the Central Plains in the warehouse. , naturally there are also some daily necessities and money. Even because she, Ji Ciyuan, her teammates Lu Miao from the Ming Cult and Luo San from the Beggar Clan are all young children, coupled with their confidence in their abilities and Luo San's mind, they have grown up in the Beggar Clan's happy place since they were young. Luo San, who was playing with some small things, specially opened a small arena. They even made a lot of money. Although they were naturally not as good as those who had been immersed in martial arts for many years in the subsequent competitions, they finally managed to get into the position of masters, and the money after success was divided into everyone's hands. Thirty bricks.

At that time, greedy for convenience, I simply packed a warehouse full of useless things in my parcel. After returning to Miaojiang, because there was no one to manage the warehouse nearby, Ayuan almost forgot all the gold he had in the warehouse. It didn't matter that there were no places in Miaojiang that needed large sums of gold and silver.

After arriving in the UK, Ji Ciyuan tried to open her parcel and warehouse many times after arriving at the orphanage. However, to her despair, she could sense the items in her parcel but could not use them for two whole years. For a long time, I tried various methods, but I couldn't get even a small piece of sweet elephant grass out of my package.

But the magical world gave itself a surprise, and that was Gringotts. When she first entered the magic world, after the trace of curiosity passed, she was left with apprehension. Ji Ciyuan had no money. It was a very practical problem. She had no money. Although there should be some gold and silver in the warehouse, she could not use it. Of course, she didn't know at the time that Hogwarts had galleons to help those who didn't have the galleons to buy school supplies. Although she was happy to leave the orphanage, she was still a little embarrassed. But when Professor Horn took out the magic world's money, Ji Ciyuan looked at the shining golden Galleons, and for some reason, she thought of herself in the warehouse. If I could exchange the unusable gold into galleons, I could probably go to Hogwarts. So she asked Hogwarts or the wizarding world if there was any place where she could get things, and Professor Horn lived up to her expectations and took Ji Ciyuan to Gringotts. The moment he entered Gringotts, Ji Ciyuan felt something strange. The things he put in the package could be taken out, and the warehouse seemed to be a little loose.

After consulting Professor Horn, she opened a small vault at the goblin's place, and after getting the goblin's reply and knowing that the exchange rate of her gold and galleons was one gold for three galleons, Ji Ci Yuan exchanged more than half of the gold he had in the package for Galleons. Some items that he might need were put in the package for ready access, while those that were temporarily unnecessary were piled in the vault, waiting for him to need them. That day.

And this Christmas, I want to do something big. This is also the way I have been thinking about since entering the magic world, a way to get myself out of the orphanage. Aunt Missy in the orphanage knew about the existence of the magic world when Professor Horn arrived, but she didn't know it clearly. Therefore, she could ask Aunt Missy to do something. Although Aunt Missy didn't care about these orphans, she knew it. That's fine, but after all, she's still a good character. As long as she has enough pounds, she can get what she wants.

On Christmas Day, Ji Ciyuan didn't bring too many things. The small box was as soft as if it was just an empty box. Sitting in the cubicle, Ji Ciyuan rarely held a book and began to immerse himself in it. It was chatting with Emily and the others. Suddenly, there was a knock on the carriage door. It was Trina, and she was leading Lily and another little girl she didn't know.

Opening the door, Lily looked outside and then walked in.

"Well, I want to squeeze in with you, don't you mind." Although she was very bold when she did it, Lily still blushed when she looked at Ji Ciyuan and the others in the carriage. Severus Christmas Not wanting to go home, she had no choice but to go home with Trina and Mary, but she didn't expect that they had already gone to the car at the back and would be found by Porter. At Trina's suggestion, they went I found Ji Ciyuan's compartment and planned to hide here. Although the effect might not be great, it was better than nothing.

You know, although everyone can see that they are different 'interests', in the end James also has a certain interest in Ji Ciyuan.

"Of course, we still have a lot of places here!" Emily said, moving towards the sofa, while Ji Ciyuan and Leah also nodded.

Sitting next to Emily with Mary, Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief. She watched Trina sit next to Ji Ciyuan, shrugging her shoulders slightly, because she came home for Christmas and saw Potter. And brings fatigue and irritation.

"Is it related to James?" Ji Ciyuan said. She took out a new cup and poured Lily a glass of lemonade.

"Well, you know, he just really has some..." After a pause, although she doesn't like James, and even hates it, it's not good to say bad things about a person in front of others, so Lily swallowed the adjectives that were about to blurt out. Down.

"A little arrogant and a little noisy?" Ji Ciyuan said, obviously, she could see it.

"Well, it seems that I don't need to say anything. His image has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, right?" Lily said, with a small smile on her lips. Obviously, most people don't have a bad impression of them now. How rare it is to have someone like Ji Ciyuan who stands on the same front as him. Lily even had the feeling that she had known him for a long time. "Obviously there is someone beside Remus who can be regarded as a role model. He can actually single-handedly bring Remus to their point deduction team."

"Can you interpret it as the child's over-liveliness?" Ji Ciyuan said. Although James' over-liveliness had a slight impact on him, Ji Ciyuan didn't hate it. In other words, because he was not Lily, he naturally couldn't understand it. her feelings.

"Forget it, deducting points as a daily routine, bullying classmates in the same grade, and giving insulting nicknames to others is an honor. I can't understand that this is a child who is too lively!" Lily said, obviously for Potter and Black was very indignant about causing trouble to Severus. He pouted slightly, but it was like he was acting coquettishly to Ji Ciyuan.

"Okay, why don't you want to do something happy when you rarely go home?" Ji Ciyuan said, "For example, how can you spend this holiday happily with your family?" Ji Ciyuan said, she saw the meaning behind talking about family. Shi Lili's eyes were shaken, so she changed her explanation. Sure enough, this statement instantly boosted Lily's motivation. He looked at Ji Ciyuan with bright eyes. Before going home, she had thought of thousands of ways to reconnect with Petunia. She believed that she would succeed. .

The whole journey was spent in laughter, and after saying goodbye to Lily and Leah, Ji Ciyuan turned around and went to Diagon Alley. She would exchange enough pounds at Gringotts, guaranteeing that from this day on, she would No longer an orphan dependent on others, even if he spends the last bit of money in his pocket, even if he has to sell his things later, or go to work to support his studies.

Of course, it was not that miserable. Ji Ciyuan gave Aunt Missy enough pounds to make her heart beat. Aunt Missy lived up to her expectations and took Ji Ciyuan to the next door town of Little Hangleton a few days later. In front of an empty house. The owner of the house was in a hurry to sell it, and naturally Aunt Missy would not miss such a big deal. After taking some transfer fees and helping Ji Ciyuan buy some daily sundries, Ji Ciyuan spent about his own money. One-third of the family property was given to such a small house that others said was haunted. Although it was just a small house, it couldn't be better for Ji Ciyuan to live alone. Coupled with the fact that the original owner was anxious to sell out, the house had almost everything, and it was close to a supermarket. Ji Ciyuan couldn't be more satisfied. As for being haunted? Dare I ask, how few strange events she has experienced now? Is the chaos coming to England from time and space, or is it magic, something that ordinary people can't understand?

After packing up his things, Ji Ciyuan ate some supper, then dragged his exhausted body onto the bed. Although the bed was old, it was a little germy, so Ji Ciyuan and Aunt Mi Xi bought new bedding. , now just unpacked, soft and warm.

The next day, Ji Ciyuan prepared some food, visited the few remaining homes nearby, and then returned home. In the afternoon, Ji Ciyuan repacked a snack box with snacks and climbed up the hillside to the Riddle House.

Although the people next door didn’t speak very well of this family, they were still considered neighbors after all, and this was still a wealthy family in Little Hangleton. Of course, that was when their owner Tom and his wife Mary did not die unexpectedly. Now, there is only one old housekeeper here.

"Button-button-"

He knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, the door was opened.

"Hello, I'm Ci Yuan Ji who lives down the hill next door. I just moved in yesterday. These are the snacks I made myself. I'll ask you to take care of me from now on." Ji Ci Yuan said with a smile, taking the food in his hand. The box was placed in the old housekeeper's hand.

"Your family can rest assured that a child as young as you is coming to such a far place." With his back slightly stooped, he looked at Ji Ciyuan twice, then took the food box from Ji Ciyuan's hand and turned to the bowl in the kitchen. He took out a plate from the cabinet, put everything in the food box into it, and then took out the food box and gave it to Ji Ciyuan. "The way up the mountain is not easy, and the way down is even harder. Your parents are too lazy to let you go up by yourself."

"I just moved out of the orphanage." Although his family is no longer there, Ji Ciyuan does not want them to be misunderstood. Besides, there are many children living alone in Miao territory for various reasons. Ji Ciyuan does not feel that There is something wrong with my current state, or in other words, how rare and distressing it is for these people.

The corners of his lips trembled uncontrollably, "Hurry down the mountain and go home! It's already late at night, when can't we visit the neighbors? It has to be now?!" the old housekeeper said, reaching out and pushing Ji Ciyuan outside. "I'm an old man, but I can't push a little girl like you."

Although what he said was vicious, Ji Ciyuan still saw that the old man was worried about him. He was just worried that he would get lost in the mountains when he went down later. He could still distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions.

"I'll go down the mountain to buy some necessities tomorrow. You should stay in White's house." The old housekeeper said. After getting Ji Ciyuan's affirmative reply, he closed the door and urged Ji Ciyuan to go down the mountain and leave.

Looking up at the sky, Ji Ciyuan smiled while holding the empty food box. Although it was called a haunted place, and even Riddle's house was called a haunted house by others, they were all lovely people.

"What should we eat tonight? We also need to prepare Christmas gifts for Leah and the others." Ji Ciyuan thought as he trotted down the mountain.
