Alice's Travels

Alice still stayed in her hometown.

When she ran out of money, she started working as a foreign teacher. While earning money, she walked through every familiar street in her memory, trying to find people she should know well.

However, just as she herself does not exist in this world, the existence of everyone related to her seems to be erased by this world.

Without them, the world is still the same.

Just like that sentence, the earth is still turning without anyone.

It turns out that she didn't go back to the past of her own world, but her soul traveled to a similar parallel time and space, right?

So, how can her soul go back?

Could it be, dead——

Alice thinks about this question every night before she goes to sleep.She desperately hopes to be like her original time travel, and wakes up to find that everything now is just a dream, and she still lives in the world she should have, with her family, friends, and ordinary work.

However, every morning when she wakes up, it seems that her hope has been shattered, and the bubble of fantasy is repeatedly bursting. She still has nothing and is alone.

Alice endured pain and suffering in her heart. She no longer just stayed in this city, but took steps to every place she had been to.She begged to find at least one person she should know.

The year is approaching; the year has passed; the year is getting farther and farther away.

Until the weather has become sultry, Alice still got nothing.

No, nothing.

She was abandoned by the world.

In 1996, the mainland was less developed than Hong Kong and Taiwan, and most places were relatively backward. At this time, Hong Kong and Macau had not yet returned to China.

People still dress in the style of the old era, bright colors are not common, foreign clothes are in the minority, and they are even more curious about foreigners.

Every time Alice went out, people around her would look sideways and be surrounded by all kinds of stares. Even though those gazes were more of curiosity, they still gave her a feeling that she was a different kind.

Yes, in the eyes of all compatriots, she is indeed a different kind.

They no longer have the same hair color, similar facial features, or belong to the same country.

Alice finally understood that without a home that could accommodate her, she was just an outsider, and this place would no longer be her home.

After several months of wandering in a familiar and strange homeland, Alice returned to London distraught.

No one will pay attention to an ordinary little girl anymore.

All kinds of people around hurriedly walked through the street, back and forth, in an endless stream.

Dark night fell.

Alice was still wandering aimlessly in the streets. Where was she going—where could she be?

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the depths of a dark alley.

Alice turned her head to look at the brightly lit street next to her. Pedestrians passed by from time to time, but no one seemed to have heard the sound just now, and no one had noticed any movement.

They walked past Alice with normal expressions, without showing any strangeness on their faces.

Alice immediately realized that the people in the alley probably used the Muggle Repelling Charm, which meant that wizards might be doing it.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the wand she had been carrying all along, held it in her hand, and moved it in gently.

A woman's maniacal laughter gradually sounded, and her voice gradually became clear.In the dark alley, Alice could only vaguely make out a tall woman and a figure who was tormented by a spell and stood upside down in mid-air, panting and groaning non-stop.

"Poor little bug," said the woman softly, seeming to lick her lips, "why don't you bark—quickly, loudly—how blood-boiling are those pitiful screams wonderful!"

She was talking to herself crazily, her eyes shone with frightening light, while she raised her wand and poked vigorously on the bloody holes all over the man's body, the figure suddenly let out a mournful howl.

The woman grinned a few times, turned around suddenly and said coldly, "Look, here comes another little one!"

"All petrified!" Alice waved her wand and launched an attack the moment the woman turned around, but was immediately resolved by the woman with an 'armor body'.

"Disarm you!" The woman immediately countered at Alice.

"There are many obstacles!" Alice shouted at the same time.

The two rays of light collided fiercely, and then quickly refracted and hit the surrounding walls.

"Let me teach you what a real attack spell is," the woman screamed with a grin on her lips, "Crucio!"

"Disarm!" Alice retorted with a tight voice.

An arrow-like silver light shot out from the tip of the wand again, confronting another light, and gradually approaching Alice.

There was joy on the woman's haggard face, her mouth was grinning, her eyes were cruel, as if she was already waiting for the next scene of torturing Alice.

Alice held the wand in her right hand, and stared at the woman's movement with her lips tightly pursed. When she put all her mind on the wand of resistance, she suddenly raised her left hand and shot. A powerful magic force knocked her out. .

"Dizzy!" Alice immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.

The woman quickly turned over on the ground and hid, then stood up abruptly, waved her magic wand and let out several silver lights, shouting, "You've messed with me, little one!"

Alice didn't have time to cast a protective spell on herself, so she could only dodge, but she was hit by a beam of light in an instant and a blood hole opened in her shoulder.

Regardless of the pain in her body, Alice immediately stretched out her left hand to point at the woman, desperately mobilizing the magic power in her body to shoot it out while moving her feet to move out of the alley.

However, the woman quickly discovered her intentions. She casually raised her wand and calmly blocked Alice's attack, while showing a dangerous smile and shouting, "Do you think you can escape!"

As she spoke, she immediately waved her wand and used a spell to separate the entire alley from the outside with a barrier. She took a few steps towards Alice, stared at her madly and said, "It's time for you to try the Cruciatus Curse." The taste!"

With her back against the wall, Alice watched the woman's every move with her eyes. The moment she spoke, she raised her wand and sent a beam of light towards the sky, and then a strong light burst out quickly.

"How dare you—" the woman stared at her with poisoned eyes and said, "Do you still want someone to save you——I will torture you severely and let you die in a very miserable way!"

"You're a Death Eater, right? You're Voldemort's subordinate—" Alice withdrew her left hand and said quickly, "Did he send you to kill people?"

"How dare you say his name!" the woman roared angrily.

Alice didn't speak anymore, she took advantage of the moment when the woman was irritated, she immediately raised her wand and her left hand and almost burst out all the magic power in her body, gathered into a flickering ball of light and rushed towards the woman.

The explosion sounded violently.

Alice didn't care about what happened behind her, but turned around and quickly ran out along the wall. At the same time, she took out the Felicity Elixir and poured a little into her mouth. After breaking through the barrier, she quickly rushed to the street, facing the bright and where the voices run wild.

People were surprised to see a little girl with a shoulder injury running over pale, holding a strange wooden stick tightly in her hand.

And soon, people's expressions became dazed.They no longer paid attention to Alice, and seemed to have forgotten what they had just seen, and walked away in vain steps.

Alice raised her head and saw Dumbledore appearing in front of her with a serious face. As if a big stone fell in her heart, she immediately said anxiously, "Principal, I met a Death Eater—it's in the alley over there." Here, she is torturing an ordinary person. I intended to save her, but I couldn't beat her, so I had to escape by chance..."

"Where is it? Take me there to see—" Dumbledore immediately said seriously, "You were the one who emitted the light in the sky before, wasn't it, Alice?"

Alice tried to calm her frantic breathing and nodded, covering the wound on her shoulder and leading the way.

"Listen to me, boy, put away your wand first," Dumbledore said in a steady, as if reassuring voice, waving his wand to drive away the pedestrians around him, "we need to avoid as much as possible." Muggle-driving, getting there without anyone else noticing - can you do that?"

"Then go this way," Alice said, pointing to a slightly narrow passage, "here you can reach the back of that alley."

They quickly walked through the passage into the dark alley.However, it has become quiet inside, and there is no one, only some bloodstains remain on the ground.

Dumbledore frowned, and the sharp eyes under the glasses scanned the surroundings and said, "I think that Death Eater has left."

Alice described to him the appearance and characteristics of the Death Eater. As for the ordinary person who was tortured, she didn't see clearly, and could only vaguely recognize that it should be a young boy.

"That woman should be Bellatrix Black, that's right," Dumbledore said slowly after hearing this, "She is a famous female lunatic among Death Eaters, it is already very impressive that you escaped from her , Alice."

Alice shook her head in silence, her face pale.

"Okay, now I have to go and heal your shoulder," Dumbledore said gently, "Perhaps on the way you would still like to tell me what happened after you left Hogwarts..."
