HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 15Christmas

When Ann got up from the bed in the orphanage the next day, she had already put aside yesterday's conversation with Hermione. After all, the most important thing today was to meet Jill and go home.

After getting up, Ann sorted out all her things. The small blue box and the plot notebook were always carried by Ann with her. These were the two most important things.There were only some notes from elementary school textbooks on the table, all of which were memories of three years. She packed them up and piled them up in a corner of the room, and they were all to be taken away.She opened the drawer and put a small brass bell in her schoolbag. It was a birthday present from Jill, but it was damaged.With magic, this kind of damage can be repaired with a single spell.

All the clothes in the closet were left behind by An. Many resources in the orphanage, including clothes and stationery, were donated by others, and all these things should be left to the orphanage.

After sorting things out, Ann went to Jill.Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Ann was chatting with Jill. Ann's plan was to go back to the orphanage for dinner at 12 o'clock, but when Jill knew that Ann was going to leave, she kept crying, so Ann had to stay to comfort Jill and talk with her. After having a meal at home, Ann repeatedly promised that he would never forget Jill, and that he would write to Jill whenever he was free before leaving Jill's house.

Although Jill disrupted Ann's plan to explain the situation to Dean Odetta, An didn't blame Jill at all in her heart. On the way back to the orphanage, she remembered the three years of elementary school.Because of Ann's short stature and cute appearance, many boys in elementary school liked to bully Ann when she was a child. Often Ann would be teased as soon as she entered the classroom and continued until after school.Although An has the thinking of an adult, many times the body's restrictions on behavior are too great.Jill was the girl who stood up at that time, and this rare friendship once made Ann feel very warm.Dean Odetta and Ms. Ada of the orphanage are also very good, but they have to take care of more than 100 orphans at the same time. To Ann, they are just kind elders.

After returning to the orphanage, Ann simply explained to Dean Odetta that Uncle Aaron was a kind person who saw Ann studying well at school and wanted to adopt Ann (according to the documents of the Muggle government), and at four in the afternoon I'll come to do the formalities, and Ann has already talked to Aaron once and thinks Aaron is a good adopter.

Dean Odetta was surprised at first, but then he was happy that Ann met kind people in the school.When Aaron came to the orphanage and proposed to donate a sum of money to the orphanage (Ann proposed to Aaron, exchanging money from the wizarding world for a sum of pounds in Gringotts), Dean Odetta happily shared with Aaron has completed the relevant procedures.

Aaron put Ann's luggage in the car, and Ann waved to Dean Odetta who was standing at the door, and got in the car. After getting in the car, she smiled at Aaron, "Uncle Aaron, that's great! I can't wait I want to see the house!"

Aaron stretched out a hand and rubbed Ann's hair, "I hope you are satisfied with that house!"

"It will!" Ann narrowed her eyes and looked in front of the car.

Aaron gradually drove the car into the urban area, and then turned left and right and got down a narrow street. The street was only two lanes wide. In the yard, some people use wooden fences to surround the yard, and some people use red brick walls to surround the yard.On the street, there are grids of parking spaces drawn on the street in front of each house facing the street, and the driveway near the yard is a no-parking zone and a driving zone.

The management of the urban area of ​​London is really good. It does not need to occupy the yards of private houses, but also leaves a passage for cars, so that the narrow streets of the old city can be opened to traffic normally.

However, Aaron complained about this matter. He was using magic to control the steering wheel and parked the car in a parking space. You must also be parked in the small grid!"

Ann ignored the complaints of a wizard. She was observing the house facing the parking space. The exterior wall of the house was white, but some peeling wall paint on the third floor showed its original color. It was a red stone brick house. , a total of three floors, the home is in the middle of two houses, a bronze plaque is hung on the gate of the black thick gate similar to Sherlock Baker Street, No. 12.Next to the door are four wooden-framed windows in the living room on the first floor, but the curtains are drawn so that the inside cannot be seen.

After getting out of the car, Aaron gave Ann a key and asked Ann to open the door first, while he went to the trunk to take some of Ann's things out of the car.Of course, An accepted the task happily. She trotted to the door, looked up at the entire front of the house, and inserted the key into the keyhole under the doorknob to open the door.

What comes into view is a typical British style decoration, a small porch, a thick dark wood coat rack, and when there is more to see in the future, a shrill voice suddenly came from the direction of the living room , "Welcome back, Master Aaron!"

Ann was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a creature. It was a skinny, small creature with ears as big as a bat, bulging eyes the size of a pong ball, and a long, flat nose that resembled a goblin. Standing in front of Ann in a torn linen vest, he was about a head shorter than Ann, and he was obviously taken aback by Ann.But he immediately reacted, "Oh! Miss Stocker, Orr didn't mean to scare the lady, Orr just wanted to say hello to Master Aaron and Miss Stocker~"

Ann understood that there was a house elf in front of her.At this time, Aaron also came in from the door. He put down the things in his hand, saw Ann and Orr standing face to face, and said apologetically, "Oh! Ann, I forgot to tell you, this is Obi, the domestic Elf, Obie does all the chores around the house!"

After hearing what Aaron said, Obi happily bent down and saluted Aaron and Ann, as if to say that I am very honored.

After hearing what Aaron said, Ann asked in confusion, "Uncle Aaron, I read in the book that house elves can only be owned by ancient and wealthy wizarding families. How could you do that? And why did he call you Master Aaron? "

Aaron directed Orr to take Ann's things upstairs. He and Ann went to the living room side by side. There was a large fireplace in the living room, and a fire was burning inside. The whole living room was very warm. He found an armchair in front of the fireplace to sit. Xiacai explained, "Ann, this matter is very complicated. All in all, I, Aaron Hall, come from an ancient French wizard family, the Hall family, but my family is a branch of the Hall British family." At this point, Aaron paused, trying to explain more to a child, "Let's put it this way, my ancestors were French a long time ago, and when there were more people, some of them moved to England , The part that moved to the UK is the branch of the ancestors of the French part, and after a long time, the capital in France spent a lot of things and experienced some bad things!"

"Is it a war? Like the first or second world war? I learned it in history class!" Ann asked.

Aaron was stunned for a while, then nodded, "Well, it's similar to the war in the Muggle world. Does the Muggle world talk to children about war so early? Why are adults in the Muggle world like this..."

Watching Aaron shift his focus, Ann tried to bring his focus back to the question, "Uncle Aaron, what happened next?"

"Ah! Yes! Later, there were very few people in the French branch, so they thought about recruiting some babies or children from branches all over Europe to return to the French branch to study and educate for a period of time. The French branch has a big The manor and castle are just a little smaller than Hogwarts. It was a very good time, everyone was the same age, and we were making trouble together every day, and we even made fun of a serious elder at one point!" Aaron looked at An's helpless expression, laughed a few times, and continued, "This kind of life lasted until we were 11 years old, and everyone had to enter a formal magic school. I went to Hogwarts and met your parents. It was also a very happy time, your parents are very smart people..." After talking about another memory, Aaron smiled a little embarrassedly , "Oh~ Ann, I want to share so many memories with you!"

"Well, I've been listening carefully, Uncle Aaron, but why did Al show up? It seemed that Al wasn't home when you told me last time!"

"Al is the house elf who took care of me when I was in France. They have been the Hall family for generations, um, the servants. I just took him over from France. I didn't take him before because I I often travel on business, and I rarely come back home, so there is no great need, but now that you live here, Xiao An, it would be great if there are so many Orr!" Aaron smiled teasingly and shrugged, "After all, I don't Do a little housework."

Ann looked at her watch, it was already 5:20 in the afternoon, and it was only around 4:40 when they arrived at the house, but when it came to family issues, Ann remembered something Fanny said, so she decided to test Aaron, "Aaron Uncle, are all wizard families like this? What other family is there? Am I also in that family? The family with a big castle is really great, smaller than Hogwarts Castle A little, that's a big castle!"

Hearing Ann's envious tone, Aaron smiled and replied, "Xiao An, your Stoke's surname is not considered a family. Although your father is a very powerful wizard, he received a notice from Hogwarts Before the book, I have been living in the Muggle world and know nothing about magic! But I guess one of your father's ancestors may be a wizard, so he can enter Slytherin (Slytherin accepts half-blood wizards) , can also explain why your Uncle Garnett is a real Muggle! As for..." Aaron turned pale, and then said nonchalantly, "As for your mother is also a very smart wizard! Alright , it's getting late, you haven't seen your little greenhouse yet! It's in the yard, I'll take you to see it, but it took me a whole day to set it up!"

Aaron pulled Ann through the living room and dining room towards the yard behind the house.

An Xin thought, sure enough, what happened with my mother is a secret that cannot be revealed, could it be related to the mysterious person?Forget it, never mind, not to mention that it is still too early for Voldemort's resurrection, even if it is really involved, the sky will fall and you will still be tall, and your small arms and legs will not be able to handle such a big event. What a great use.

When Ann saw a small greenhouse in a corner of the walled garden, she immediately put aside her messy thoughts, and she was still more interested in magic plants.
