[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

Shen Yanzhou walked out of the orphanage holding Tom's little hand.

Tom turned his head and glanced at the orphanage, Shen Yanzhou noticed his movement, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tom shook his head: "Nothing."

He finally left here as in countless dreams, this place where he was used to selfishness, cruelty and dark humanity in his childhood and childhood.

Nagini, who was quietly wrapped around his wrist in his sleeve, said quietly: "I can finally stay in another place."

Tom's fingers in his sleeves touched Nagini's head lightly.

In the silent air, there were only the rustling of the leaves as the wind blows through them, and the footsteps of Shen Yanzhou and Tom.Shen Yanzhou took Tom to a secluded place, took out the portkey, and took Tom to Diagon Alley.

"This is where we shop. During your schooling, Hogwarts will provide you with a bursary, and you can pay it back after you graduate and work," Shen Yanzhou said. "Next, I'll take you to purchase the items you need."

The purchase ended very quickly. Although Tom was full of curiosity about everything in the magical world, he was very able to restrain his desire to explore, obediently followed behind Shen Yanzhou, and occasionally showed his desire for knowledge appropriately without being too entangled. .If Shen Yanzhou hadn't seen his beast-like eyes in the orphanage, he would probably have been deceived by this good student's appearance.

After the purchase was completed, Shen Yanzhou suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, I almost forgot, I brought you some small gifts." He took out the Chuibao super bubble gum and ice cream balls he bought the day before from his pocket. "You must have never eaten snacks from the magic world, come on, I'll give it to you, you're welcome."

Tom showed a flattered expression, and took the bag of snacks: "Thank you, Professor, by the way, Professor, I don't know your name yet."

"My surname is Shen." Shen Yanzhou said. "It's a bit awkward to read, it's an oriental surname."

"Thank you, Professor Shen." Tom said, his pronunciation was correct, without any awkwardness.

Shen Yanzhou looked at the well-behaved Tom, and only now did he feel that this little boy is really cute. It would be better if he didn't have so many thoughts.

He left Diagon Alley with Tom, and moved into a hotel near King's Cross Station with a lot of second-hand books and second-hand clothes he bought.The stipend does not include the money for staying in the hotel, so Shen Yanzhou helped to advance the money.

"Tomorrow you go to platform nine and three-quarters to take the Hogwarts Express, which will go straight to Hogwarts." Shen Yanzhou said after helping the little boy pack his things.

"Aren't you going to come with me?" Tom froze for a moment.

"Sorry, Tom, I still have a lot of things to do." Shen Yanzhou knelt down and looked into Tom's eyes, and couldn't help but rubbed his hair. "You'll see me again when you get to Hogwarts."

Tom lowered his head obediently, covering up the inexplicable emotion in his eyes: "Okay. I'm going to trouble the professor today."

Shen Yanzhou couldn't help laughing, an 11-year-old kid had to act like a little adult, which actually made him feel that Tom and Tianyan pen were somewhat similar.

"Then I'll go first."

Shen Yanzhou stood up and walked towards the door.He didn't look back, so naturally he didn't know that the eyes of the little figure behind him had been on him.

At the moment when Shen Yanzhou's back disappeared, Tom suddenly felt an inexplicable panic.

As if the man who was always smiling and well-mannered was gone, he would find that he was only dreaming.When he woke up, there was no Hogwarts, no magic, and no friendly and gentle professors, only a cold bed and a dusty ceiling.

He opened his mouth, wanting that person to stay, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He hated himself for becoming dependent on a stranger in just one day.

"That kid, I don't think he's normal." Shen Yanzhou who left London and returned to his office heard Tian Yanbi say.

"Oh, no matter, there are too many problem children in this world, I don't have the time to correct them one by one." Shen Yanzhou said indifferently, and took a book from the shelf. "My only concern right now is how to get out of here."

Time flies.The next night is the annual Hogwarts Orientation Night. All the teachers and students of the school will gather in the auditorium to welcome the freshmen who are about to study in Hogwarts for seven years, and the sorting hat will decide where they will go. which college.

……

"I heard that they will let us fight the troll." A child said with a frightened expression.

"My God, I'm sure I won't be able to beat it. It seems that I will only be sorted into Hufflepuff." The other child was startled, and then became demoralized.

Tom walked silently behind the freshman team, and he laughed when he heard the chattering discussions of these children.

"Hogwarts, A School History" can't be more clear. Sorting is carried out by the sorting hat, and trolls and the like are simply nonsense for the upper grades to scare the lower grades.

However, even the future Dark Lord was a little nervous at the moment.

Which college will you be assigned to?He wanted to go to Slytherin, but what if he was sorted into another house?

The size of the Hogwarts auditorium always makes children who come here for the first time stunned. The four rows of long tables are full of old students waiting to welcome the new students. The tables are full of delicious food and juice.At the end of the long table, the sorting hat was placed on a small table. Behind the small table was the principal's seat, and behind the principal's seat were the professors' seats.

After Tom entered the auditorium, he was shocked by the scene at first. Even though he had seen it in books, he still had a completely different feeling when he came to this wonderful space.Then his eyes fell on the professor's seat, looking for the familiar figure.

Soon, he found his purpose.

Professor Shen was sitting in the middle left, having a good conversation with a professor wearing glasses and a big beard.

"It's amazing, it's amazing." Albus Dumbledore sighed. "Your paintings are more magical than magic."

Shen Yanzhou dipped his finger in some beer, and drew a lifelike phoenix on the wooden table. Dumbledore looked at this vivid phoenix in amazement.

"Come on, there's no magic in this little gadget, and you're praising me again." Shen Yanzhou laughed.

"Haha, I'm not boasting, I'm telling the truth. I can't let you perform alone, let me play a little trick." Dumbledore laughed, took out his wand and tapped the phoenix on the table lightly , the phoenix moved, got up from the table with a whoosh, circled around Dumbledore and Shen Yanzhou twice, flew into the air and exploded into a small firework, and the firework turned into a stream of beer Fell into the glass of the professors.

Shen Yanzhou clapped in surprise, and the professors beside him also laughed and clapped. Even the principal, Dippet, looked over curiously, and the entire professor's chair was filled with joy.

Tom withdrew his gaze. Their happiness was too far away from him. He could only stand aside and watch from a distance, but he couldn't touch it.

But as long as I am strong enough, even this kind of happiness can be plundered, right?

The sorting ceremony began soon. When Tom's name was called, Tom raised his head and looked at Shen Yanzhou, wanting to see his reaction.

Does he have expectations of himself?Will you pay attention to yourself?

But to his disappointment, Shen Yanzhou didn't pay attention to his side at all, and was still smiling and talking with the professor playing tricks beside him.

The Sorting Hat called out his belonging almost as soon as it touched his hair——

"Slytherin!"

He took off the Sorting Hat, and even bowed politely to the Sorting Hat before walking towards their long table to the applause of the senior Slytherin seniors.

The dinner started, and Tom ate a little absent-mindedly. Even though he hadn't eaten such delicious and nutritious food for a long time, there was always something to distract him.So from the beginning of the dinner, he just stuffed some food for Nagini under the table.

Abraxas Malfoy, who was sitting next to him, came over and asked jokingly, "Did you see any pretty girl? See you keep looking in one direction."

Tom glanced at the handsome blond boy who took the initiative to talk to him, changed his mind slightly, and started talking to him without hesitation.He smiled and denied that he was peeking at the girl's teasing, and chatted about some things about Slytherin House, so as to understand what he didn't know.

"I want to know, the professor sitting on the professor's chair..." Tom suddenly asked, his gaze fixed on Shen Yanzhou. "What class does he teach?"

Abraxas followed Tom's gaze and looked over: "Professor Shen?"

Tom nodded.

"My God, I know that's not the right word to describe a man, but he's a beauty, isn't he?" Abraxas said in an aria.

beauty?Hearing this description, Tom frowned slightly, but the movement was so subtle that Abraxas didn't notice it.

"Yeah, it's hard not to notice him." Tom hid his displeasure and smiled politely.

"He's the girl of Hogwarts' dreams," said Abraxas. "Many boys also like him, but some people don't like him too much, because it is said that he has never used magic in his class for two years since he started as a professor. Can you believe it? A The professor at the magic school never uses magic, and some people even suspect that he is a squib."

This is really nonsense, Professor Shen has obviously used magic in front of him.Tom thought.Without even using a wand or saying a spell, he cast the Petrification Charm, a new spell that Tom himself had learned in his textbook.

"He teaches Art Appreciation, an elective course. There are not many places, and he has to fight every time. But it doesn't matter if you don't get it. Professor Shen doesn't care whether the students in his class take his class. How about Said, he never took care of his own class." Abraxas continued. "Almost no points were deducted from any colleges, and almost no points were added to any colleges."

Art appreciation... Tom silently memorized the name of this course. Although this is a subject that has almost nothing to do with magic, he still decided that one of the students in this class must be his.

The author has something to say: Shen Yanzhou: On the whole, I like Albus very much, he is really a nice person.

Tianyan Pen: I am waiting for your "but"

Shen Yanzhou: But his taste is really strange. When my beer glass is mixed with the beer he made with Phoenix, the taste becomes super sweet and super sweet.

Tianyan Pen: ...

Shen Yanzhou: Can you imagine the weird taste of beer with ten spoons of sugar added?Oh, the British.
