Alice's Travels

A wonderful magical world.

This undoubtedly had a certain impact on Alice's worldview, although it didn't mean that she didn't believe it, after all, unexplainable things had happened in front of her.But for a 24-year-old adult, it's like someone suddenly said to you one day, hey, you know, the story about Snow White and Cinderella is true!It's just that you don't have a permit to enter the Prince's Castle.

It was a novel experience, especially after Alice got her admission notice to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Principal Dumbledore, that is, the old man with the white beard, later cast an oblivion spell on those people. Alice returned to the orphanage smoothly and spent a busy and fulfilling month in peace.She still clearly remembered the benevolent and peaceful light in Dumbledore's eyes when he appeared, which undoubtedly comforted her at the time.At the same time, Dumbledore's treatment of other people also gave Alice reason to believe that this is a wise and kind old man, at least for children.

After that, Alice has been working on understanding the information of the magical world, which is a place she knows nothing about. People are always full of curiosity, fear and worry about the unknown.And for a person who has nothing to rely on, it is obvious that worries and fears are the most.I have to say that Alice's situation is very bad. She knows nothing about magic. As an 11-year-old underage girl, her body is malnourished and her physique is poor. She was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage, no one knew who her parents were, and she had no money.Alice's ability to go to the magic school is entirely due to the school's funding. After meeting the necessary items for school, it is obvious that there will be no extra money.

If it was Alice in the original world, or the real her, maybe she would have more courage or courage to explore these mysterious magics. After all, a 24-year-old young woman still feels more secure than an 11-year-old child. isn't it?It's a pity that there is no if.

Alice pulled her thoughts back, trying to figure out what to do next.Her current thinking is to wait and see what happens, settle down first, learn, protect herself, accumulate strength and wealth, be independent and self-financed, wait to grow up, and then go home.Yes, going home is a certainty.But it may take a few years, 11 years old is still too young, she has to wait, the development of technology after 1991, the arrival of the Internet information age, wait for the world to gradually become familiar, wait for the parents to get married, and then...is this world Will there be another her?

"Hey! Altman, what are you thinking?" A girl's voice brought Alice, who was startled by her thoughts, back to reality.

"Oh, it's nothing." Alice smiled at the little girl—Susan Bonn, "I was just thinking about what you said about Harry Potter going to Hogwarts, right?"

"Yes! Of course, he's on this train!" Susan seemed to have just come back from the outside, forgot to close the door of the box and sat down on her seat, her petite face was slightly flushed from excitement, " I just went out just to see him, but..."

"I'm sorry," Susan's words were interrupted by a round-faced boy with tears in his eyes, "I want to ask, have you seen my toad?"

Several girls shook their heads, and the boy burst into tears immediately, "I lost it again! It always wants to run away from me! If you see..."

"We'll tell you when we see it." Alice twitched slightly, looked at the boy, thanked him, and left.It's really a child, crying crookedly, she thought a little speechlessly, but also a little thankful, it's a good thing that Toad is not here, God knows what she fears the most.

After the boy left, the little girls began to talk about Harry Potter happily again, their voices could not hide their admiration, but of course they were more curious.Susan went out, but didn't see him, so everyone guessed what he looked like, and now even Alice began to wonder what this boy looked like.

While following the crowd all the way to Hogwarts, Alice looked around, looking for the child who might be Harry Potter in the crowd.In her guess, Harry Potter should be a positive, confident and dazzling image. He grew up under the attention of people around him. He is naturally healthy, sunny, and energetic, which is more in line with the temperament of a star boy.Then after she scanned around, she found the target, a little boy with platinum blond hair and fair face, his chin was pointed, and his head was raised slightly, talking to the people around him, he looked very proud and in high spirits ——Just, Alice glanced at his smooth forehead, where is the legendary scar?

The question about Scar quickly broke Alice's guess, because she saw what she thought was "Harry Potter" walking all the way to a little boy with black hair and green eyes who looked thin and even a little dazed and nervous, and introduced herself. And confidently extended a hand of friendship to that boy—the real Harry Potter.

Well, Alice thought, the gap between reality and imagination is slightly bigger, it seems that she still doesn't know much about this "well-known story of the Boy Who Lived".She still doesn't know who the mysterious person they keep talking about is because no one is willing or dared to mention his name, and she doesn't know what happened in the past, and everyone always hesitates to explain clearly.Fortunately, when we arrive at Hogwarts, we should be able to find the information, and the history of the wizarding world must be read.

While Alice was thinking this, Harry Potter had already rejected the invitation from the blond-haired boy—Draco Malfoy. It was obviously embarrassing to be rejected in public, because Malfoy's fair face There was already a blush on his face, he gave Potter a bitter look, and returned to where he was standing.

The sorting session will start soon.

Alice had read the textbook before and knew a little about the four colleges of this school, but when the Sorting Hat began to sing, she listened carefully and silently analyzed which college she might go to.

Gryffindor is basically impossible. Bravery, courage, and chivalry seem too far away from her; Hufflepuff is not like it either. If you are honest and loyal, it depends on who you are dealing with and too many situations; Lavin Crowe, wise, knowledgeable and shrewd, I don’t know if she counts. She herself is not keen on learning. Unless necessary, she usually only learns what she needs or what she thinks is useful; Slytherin , you can make sincere friends, there are cunning and insidious people, who will use all means to achieve their goals... Uh, did she hear wrong just now?Why do other colleges praise it? This is a bit derogatory. Does Slytherin have any other characteristics?These don't seem to be quite like her...

At this moment, Alice would like to ask, has there ever been a strong man who was expelled from any college because he was not suitable for it?

Before Alice could continue thinking about it, the teacher in charge of the branch——Minerva McGonagall called her name, "Alice Altman!"

Principal Albus Dumbledore sat on the seat of the guest of honor and watched the little girl walk step by step with a peaceful smile, as if he didn't notice that the people around him trembled like hallucinations for a moment.It was a teacher with a hooked nose and greasy black hair——Severus Snape. He glanced at the little girl with brown hair and brown eyes in a little surprise, and his eyes circled around her before closing his eyes. back.

Alice heard the sound and went to sit on the stool in front, and put on the magical sorting hat. At this moment, she suddenly thought, can the hat detect my thoughts?

"Oh, I think so." A small voice rang in her ear, Alice tensed up, and immediately asked in her heart, would she also spy on everyone's memory?

"Of course not," said the small voice, "I'll just put you where it suits you, well, then... you're not brave enough, talented, mean-spirited, and don't like studying, oh, My God, you're so indifferent, then—"

"Slytherin!" the hat yelled.

Alice clenched her fists and walked to the long table of Slytherin with a blank expression.

Dumbledore still kept smiling, as if he had expected this result, he turned to Snape and said, "Severus, trust me, you'll like this kid."

Snape snorted coldly, but didn't respond.

Alice looked up at Susan, the most enthusiastic and lively little girl on the train, but found that Susan was turning her head to talk to the people around her in a panic, and she didn't want to look this way. Alice silently looked away .

In fact, Alice was not very surprised by the result of this branch house. She felt that if other houses were not suitable, then Slytherin was the most likely one.It's just that the lyrics of the Sorting Hat made her a little bit concerned, because she didn't hear the whispers of the people around her, for example, she would rather go to Hufflepuff than Slytherin, those bad dark wizards are all from Slytherin, the evil Slytherin Laitlin and more.Children always like to think that the world is black and white, only divided into good people and bad people, and Slytherin is obviously considered bad and evil by them.Although she felt that adults, such as various professors, would not judge everyone by this, judging from what the Sorting Hat sang and everyone's performance, Slytherin's bad impression was almost a well-known theorem.

Of course, the Slytherins never thought so.For example, when Malfoy walked over with a proud face, Alice felt that she had really misjudged her at the beginning. How could such a dragging child be Harry Potter? What is the confidence and sunshine in the platinum blonde hair? It was clearly written on her tender face that she was full of ambition!

Fortunately, Alice didn't really care which college she went to. Anyway, she was studying, so it should be the same everywhere, she thought—but soon she found that her idea was wrong again.

"Hey, is your name Altman? I'm Pansy Parkinson." A tall, strong-looking girl looked at Alice contemptuously with her chin up and said, and then asked in a very bad tone, "Are your parents both wizards?"

Alice was also asked this question on the train, but obviously the same question was asked by different people with different tones, and the effect was different.If the previous question was purely out of curiosity, then Parkinson's tone now can almost be regarded as a kind of provocation.

Alice responded to this kind of unfriendly question when they met for the first time, but she replied patiently, "I don't know, I came from the orphanage. "

At this time, if you were a considerate person, you might smile apologetically and express your understanding, but unfortunately Parkinson is obviously not on the list, because the contempt in her eyes is even heavier, and she asks in a vicious tone, "Orphanage? Are you from Ma? Where did the melon come from?!"

Muggle is a general term for ordinary people who don't know magic. Alice felt that this was actually a kind of discrimination by wizards against ordinary people. She didn't like this word, so she looked at Parkinson with a blank expression and nodded.

Parkinson gave a small scream, "Mudblood!" and turned away from her.

Oh shit.Alice cursed inwardly. Although she wasn't sure what the Mudblood meant, there was no doubt that she was scolded by a child.

Alice's face turned cold, and her thin face seemed to be covered with ice.She swallowed her anger, and secretly decided to try not to speak until she found out the situation here.
